Inside the Cave
Aaron looked at Noel.
Aaron: "But..." ๐ถ
He looked around.
Everyone was there.
He suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Noel noticed.
Noel: "I can feel it."
"I don't have much time."
"This is my second time here..."
"So I don't know how long I can stay."
"And soon..."
"My human side will come back."
"After that, things will become difficult." ๐ค
Everyone understood.
Everyone: "Okay..." ๐
---
Elda: "Then we'll wait outside." ๐
Adam: "Yeah." ๐
Erin looked at the monster.
Erin: "But who will carry this animal?" ๐
Elda immediately pointed.
Elda: "Ashley." ๐
Ashley: "Huh?"
"Why me?" ๐ค
Elda: "Because you're the only one who is free to move."
She showed her hand.
It was still connected to the strange tool.
๐ค
Ashley sighed.
Ashley: "Okay..." ๐ค๐
She picked up the monster and walked outside.
Everyone followed.
---
Inside the cave...
Only Aaron and Noel remained.
Noel looked at his wound.
Noel: "Can you remove it?" ๐
Aaron hesitated.
Aaron: "Okay..." ๐
He slowly moved his clothes aside to show the injury.
Noel's expression changed.
โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Aaron also became nervous.
โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
The reason Noel could heal the monster easily was because the monster didn't have anything blocking her healing ability.
But Aaron's injury was different.
---
Aaron slowly moved his upper clothing aside.
A red bruise was visible on his chest.
Noel's expression immediately softened.
๐๐๐
Noel: "Does it hurt?" ๐ข
Aaron: "Only when it is touched." ๐
Noel frowned.
Noel: "Then..."
"How will I treat it?" ๐
Aaron looked at her.
Aaron: "It's okay."
"Do it."
"I'm the King."
"I can handle this much." ๐ค
Noel still looked worried.
Noel: "But..." ๐
Aaron looked away.
Aaron: "We don't have much time, Noel."
"Just do it quickly." ๐ค
