Chapter 134: Giving a Piece of Advice
🕑 Added 2024-08-19 14:19:15 +0000 UTCThe gaze felt increasingly intense, leaving Haruto confused and slightly disturbed. Finally, unconsciously, Haruto turned his face away, avoiding eye contact with Lilyana, as if surrendering to an invisible pressure.
Time continued to pass without any further conversation between them. Patrick and Lilyana refocused on their training, moving with tireless enthusiasm.
On the other side, Natsuki, who was still in the entrance of the Giant Spider's Web Nest, was unaware that Haruto had already woken up.
While Natsuki was busy with her training, controlling the Fire Flowers swirling around her.
Haruto sat quietly, observing the training being conducted by Patrick and Lilyana. Although Haruto was not directly involved, his eyes followed every movement they made, analyzing and assessing. Time flew by quickly, and before long, evening began to approach.
Natsuki finally returned to the nest, her eyes immediately landing on Haruto, who was now awake.
"You’re awake? Why didn’t anyone tell me?" Natsuki asked, slightly annoyed but more with a hint of concern in her tone.
Haruto turned, casually shrugging his shoulders.
"It doesn’t matter. Whether I woke up earlier or later doesn’t change anything. It’s time for dinner now, so don’t think about unimportant things." While speaking, Haruto picked up some fruits nearby... apples, bananas, and strawberries. He began to eat the fruits calmly, as if there was nothing to worry about.
While Haruto was unconscious, Patrick and Natsuki took the initiative to explore the surrounding area. They knew that Haruto and Bellina couldn’t consume meat in their weakened state, so they looked for other food sources.
Their search paid off; they found an apple tree, a banana tree, and a small field of strawberries not far from the nest. Bananas became the primary choice because they could be mashed into a soft consistency, making them easy to digest even for someone in a weakened condition like Bellina.
"Patrick, your skills have improved. You can even develop that ability to make it seem like you can see the future, perfectly avoiding attacks. But I’ve noticed that it also makes you tire quickly and drains a lot of energy. Are there any other issues when using the advanced version of that ability?" Haruto asked while munching on the fruits.
"Yes, there are a few issues. If I keep my eyes open for too long, they dry out quickly. It’s very painful, especially when there’s wind carrying dust. Even tiny particles can make my eyes sting, making it hard to focus when using this ability." Patrick explained with a slightly annoyed expression, feeling the effects of his long training session earlier.
"You can use swimming goggles to protect your eyes from dust and wind. The dry eye issue might be harder to deal with, but eye drops can help. Use them whenever your eyes start to feel dry." Haruto suggested calmly.
"That’s a great idea! I’ll try it in the next fight," Patrick replied with a satisfied nod, appreciating Haruto’s advice.
"Natsuki, how’s your control over the Burning Fire Flowers ability?" Next, Haruto’s attention shifted to Natsuki, who seemed busy chewing on some smoked meat beside her.
"Controlling one or two Fire Flowers isn’t a problem. But when I try to control more, I lose control. That can lead to unexpected things happening, sometimes even dangerous." Natsuki lifted her face and answered seriously, showing that she was still in the process of perfecting her ability.
"That means the continuous training method you’re using is correct. Just keep going until you can control more Fire Flowers steadily. Over time, your control will definitely improve." Haruto looked at Natsuki with understanding.
