They both messed up the balance and fell on each other.Jiro was very light, yet she was complaining that he was heavy. " Little Boy! Can you get up? You are too heavy for me ", She was not serious, just joking with him.He hmph a little and then slid off of her body and sat down by the side. He was not looking at her, but rather staring at the sky. Ines saw his little pouty lips, what to do with this guy when he was being this cute? She just extended her hand towards his face and started squeezing his bony cheeks. " Alright boy, stop making that deadly expression. I know I was a little exaggerating but I was just teasing you, how can you not tell when facing your little body which has no flesh? Please don't be mad at me ", She said in a coaxing tone. He held her hand and slid them off of his face. " I am not mad, I just wanted to make you apologize and I succeeded in that. Let's gather some fuel for the fire ", He started laughing suddenly after hearing her apology.Ines chuckled
He was sleeping soundly until a sound reached his ears. He was awake by the sudden weeping sound. He slowly opened his eyes, it was dark in the surrounding without any light or hope. " Wah...wah..."Someone was crying, he could hear the crying noise, but who?He was still half asleep and once again looked at the surrounding, but he could see nothing other than darkness. At this point, he deemed it as his imagination and once again went to sleep.But just when he closed his eyes, the noise started ringing in his ears once again." Wah...".This time the noise was too loud that he could not hear anything else other than the weeping sound. He placed his both hands around his ears and covered them, he was sleepy, and do not want to hear anything or see anything, just want to have a proper rest.The noise disappeared. Just when he thought he had peace and closed his eyes...the weeping sounds started ringing in his head, and thus time was in continuous mode.Jiro got up and sat straight a
It was really strange that there was no life force inside yet Jiro was receiving signals from there. Like...isn't the crying sound enough to let you know there is someone inside? " So you are saying that there's no life force here...hmm! But then again, what are these noises that I am hearing right now? I mean...explain to me ", At this Jiro knows nothing.He just wants to know what he was hearing right now if there's nothing here. It's a baby's voice and it's crying very loudly, his eardrums have gone deaf from all the crying sounds, and the system is saying there's no one. That's crazy.[ I hear nothing ]" Huh? Do you hear nothing? For real...Just get inside my mind and you will understand what I am talking about. There's a baby somewhere around here. I am telling you, I am not lying ", Said Jiro while trying to convince him that he is not lying...not even a little bit.[Well! I won't go to such lengths. Since you are saying you are hearing strange sounds, let's go check it out. I
There was nothing particularly special in sight, except....that nest on the side. Nothing caught his eyes but the nest did." Petal! What's that? A bird nest? ", Jiro started growing close to the nest which was on the corner.The cave was all bright and had reached a dead end, yet there was a bird's nest on the side. Jiro did not think of anything and approached the nest at a slow pace.As he grew close to the nest, the weeping and crying became clear, as if it was coming from that spot.The nest was pretty small, just a little bigger than the average, with an Egg inside it. The nest was wielded perfectly around the edge so that the egg wouldn't roll out in any kind of situation.It was just the only thing in the cave which was enough to attract anyone's attention.Jiro stopped in front of the nest and looked at the egg in it, he tapped the edge of his chin while tilting his head from left to right in slow motion. In a situation like this, he doesn't know what to do." Petal! Believe
" I don't know how to coax someone. I might even end up making them more miserable and sad ", Said Jiro while looking at the neon light blue color shining egg. The egg was really interesting but the way it was making noise was quite unpredictable." But it's really weird. Why is it crying? It's crying...does it mean that there's life inside it? ".[ I think life has been formed inside the egg. And...Have you ever held a child in your arm? If you have, then you know how to talk to it...just use that method]Thinking back...the life inside the egg and a child both have no difference, both are little kids who don't know how to express their feelings other than crying and attracting attention.So the only way to stop it from crying was to talk to it in a soft tone and try to coax it, maybe a gentle touch will be sufficient to stop its sobbing.Jiro blinked several times, after hearing Petal now he was thinking about how to coax a child or how ones say good things in front of the kid. How
As they were returning to the living stay, Jiro asked about his energy bar which can only withstand some moves and slides. This morning, he was only able to run for two hours only, and then his body completely gave up on him the moment the energy bar hit the zero mark." Having an energy bar is quite risky, I can't even ensure how long I will be able to last long. It's as if...there's a sword hanging around my neck, one wrong move and I will die ", Jiro was concerned about this issue.With this ability, he was no more than a robot or maybe a key toy that only works when something spins the key in the main hole.[Umm! You are quite right. Having energy space is a little risky for you. You can indeed recover from the energy loss in an hour or so...but it's limiting your capabilities. Maybe...we should start the EXP system and remove the energy bar ]EXP was another option for a gamer to keep on going and this one was less risky than the energy system. Maybe this was fitter for Jiro comp
" I was afraid that any predator might eat it, so I took it with me. I hope you won't mind ", Said Jiro in a soft tone.Ines glanced at the unique egg in his hand, she thought for a moment and was still thinking about why this egg can make noises, but she had no answers for it." We can keep it. Back in my era, we had many powerful beasts which were priceless and had so many advantages to be taken. Even though I don't know how much the world has changed, we can keep it as a hope to get something out of it ".Ines was not against it, she even supports him if he wants to do or learn something, and she will help him with that.The world they are in right now, it's a fantasy world. A Universe filled with unknown and amazing things and creatures, the things which you cannot ever imagine can be possible when it comes to this world.People get Isekai'd and can achieve any feat if they are capable. So Jiro was full of expectation that this egg belongs to some unique creature he was unknown o
It was clear that Ines was walking in the wrong direction, but she was in deep thought, still thinking about something that was not needed right now.And the direction they were going towards had a cliff, a slight fall, and one would go to heaven. Petal even warned him to take a turn but that did not happen, Jiro had to remind her to turn back and take that route from behind.Seeing that Ines was not reacting, Jiro tried asking. " Ines! Don't we have to take a turn from behind? We missed the chance ", Only by then did Ines come to reality and look behind."You are right. Let's go..."She walked back and then right from there. From here on, they have officially entered the forest area. Since the place, she is talking about is secluded and on the mountain guarded by wild animals and forest, it was now officially the start of the journey."What were you thinking?" Jiro asked."Just thinking about the future. As you know... it's been thousands of years since the last time I visited the pl
