In the dry land, beside stagnant water, the water bubbles moved up to the water surface.
Producing a sound.
Plop plop
At that time, Ken and Kana held their hands together.
And she spoke.
"So how will we walk to the town without a container that can supply us with water"
Ken folded his arms and was thinking.
About how he was supposed to do it.
Then he walked a few meters around the place.
Then he spoke.
"There is only one way. We need to return to the village"
She looked at him, shocked.
And she said directly.
"So you want to return.. Isn’t that double work?"
Ken stared at her and smiled.
"This is the only way.. To supply us with water"
At that time, Ken felt all the sensations of his new body, his muscles, and his heart beating.
He smiled and thought.
_Now I’m sure I can walk and arrive even without water. I’m sure this body can do that.. But prevention is better than cure_
Kana nodded.
He moved to the water and drank it.
After that, they walked back toward the direction of the village.
The sun was still above them, shining with intensity, as if that day the sun only wanted to burn them alive.
The place was hotter than ever.
As they reached the village, Ken walked to the nearest house.
Then he saw a man on the floor who had frozen to death.
Ken looked at him, and he stepped into the house.
He took 4 containers and they walked out of the village.
As he was about to walk out of the village, he bent down slowly and tried to touch the man. Nothing happened to him.
As Kana was about to touch him, a wave of energy struck her and she was thrown away. She fell to the ground.
As Ken saw that, he smiled a little. It was a relief for him.
All the villagers are safe for now.. 100 days to save them all. That’s a big responsibility
He pressed his hands together, bent down on his knees and said.
"No matter what happens, I will be back soon. And we will not live as we were living before"
Then, he slowly moved and looked toward Kana. She was far away from him.
Immediately Ken laughed for a few seconds.
Is this normal? Why am I laughing?
Kana saw him doing that and thought.
Is he mocking me
KEN walked toward her.
Meanwhile Kana gazed at him with suspicious eyes. Her arms folded, she asked.
"Were you mocking me, right?"
Ken acted as if he didn’t do anything and made an innocent face.
"No"
Then as she turned, her leg hit a stone and she lost her balance.
Immediately, Ken grabbed her with one arm.
He tried to speak, but he couldn’t say a word.
Suddenly, a notification popped up above him.
`[Unlocked skill as the ECCHI KING]`
`[The Sweet Talker: Can influence any conversation you make and increase your attraction to opposite genders]`
As that popped up he talked.
"Are you okay"
It was as if rose petals moved in the air between them with a sweet perfume.
But the next second, it all stopped and she yanked him.
And he moved away.
"What were you trying to do to me?"
Ken didn’t say a word. He was completely calm. And in his mind he said..
It’s not my fault. It’s the system’s fault
And he turned backward and walked away.
Ken breathed out slowly.
I still have many things to learn
Immediately, a blue screen popped up once more.
`[499,999 points left]`
He saw that, smiled a little and his heart was pounding inside, beating rapidly.
Just to gain one point is a problem. How will I get 500k points in 100 days
He held his head.
How can I even use the points I gained.. how is the system so cruel!!
`[SUB QUEST: Survive in the desert and gain 5 charisma points from Kana. If completed: +10 charisma points]`
As he saw the notification from the system, he whispered.
"5 charisma points from her... how should I do that"
At once Kana stopped walking and said.
"Don’t you see that you don’t even have shoes?"
Immediately, he bent his head and looked at his feet.
He made them shake awkwardly.
Then he ran to the village and took the shoes off a villager and wore them.
He ran back and presented himself to Kana.
He covered his face for a moment.
And she shook her head.
Then she pointed at him.
"Don’t you see your clothes? They’re a mess and you look like a vagabond"
As he was about to go, Kana said,
"We already have what we were looking for, so we can go"
At that time, he felt like a small kid. Her words were as sharp as a blade, cutting Ken into pieces.
They walked together, and only Ken had the 4 containers in his hands.
He looked at his feet.
"As they say, common sense... is it common"
And he walked.
The sun rays grew lower.
The sun was going away slowly.
Meanwhile Ken and Kana walked together.
They finally arrived near a big tree where Kana was tied.
Ken walked toward the water, and in front of it was an old man.
Drinking the water.
He was drinking and then he suddenly vomited inside the water.
At once the old man felt something dangerous was behind him, and he slowly turned backward.
As he saw a person whose facial expression was darkened, he forced a smile.
"Now disappear before something bad happens to you"
The old man ran away from the place.
Ken looked at the water. It was lower than before and the vomit of the man was still dissolved in it.
Should I drink this or I die tasty
At that moment, even Kana was disgusted by what she saw.
And she thought.
"If someone did that before we came here and even polluted the water"
She held her mouth, then she moved toward the tree and vomited.
She didn’t feel tasty anymore.
