Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

"It's good that you're not afraid."

Qi Ye nodded.

Of course, there's nothing to be afraid of. The area he scanned with his mental energy didn't reveal anything that could pose a threat to him.

Even if you get injured, it's just a physical injury.

The ability is still there.

Through his eyes, he can unleash extremely powerful attacks; his flames alone are enough to deter most people, not to mention his spatial abilities.

And mental abilities.

However, Qi Ye rarely uses his mental abilities. If not used properly, they can be devastating, causing significant damage to both himself and the enemy. It's best to avoid using them if possible.

In short, I followed the little girl for about ten minutes.

Then I went into a tree hole.

"No one here knows about this place except me. You can rest here."

She said that, then turned and left.

Qi Ye quickly spoke up.

"Wait, little girl, you haven't told me your name yet."

"..."

The little girl had already reached the entrance of the tree hole.

But he stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked at Seven Nights in the tree hole.

Her red pupils were similar to those of Nanaya.

Or perhaps...

"Red Eyes!"

Chapter 289: Eating Grass

The tree hole is very large.

This tree is probably quite old, maybe hundreds or even thousands of years old.

It could take even longer.

It's been kept quite clean here. Perhaps Akame will come here often to spend some leisurely time by herself.

It could also be just for food.

evening.

Outside the tree hole.

To prevent the firelight from being seen at night, we're starting to cook dinner now.

Of course, what they called making dinner was actually just roasting the carcasses of small animals that Akame had brought back.

Seven Nights' wounds have begun to heal, but they still look a bit terrifying.

Perhaps it needs to be washed with water.

And I still need to find new clothes to change into, so it looks like I'll have to make a trip to the city.

However, the more crucial issue is still the problem of Febri.

The little girl's body hasn't finished adjusting yet, and she can only rely on lollipops to neutralize the toxins secreted in her body, but there aren't many lollipops available.

Fortunately, we've already made one adjustment, and the remaining lollipops should last for a few days.

If you have the materials, you can make lollipops.

But just in case, it's best to continue helping her get her body back in shape so she won't need lollipops anymore.

However, if adjustments are made...

"We need the equipment; otherwise, we can only rely on various medications to slowly treat it."

Qiye sat to one side and started biting her nails.

Febri squatted down next to a clump of grass, watching curiously as a small insect crawled on the blades of grass.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a pristine place.

Akame is a good girl.

Although she knew that the best way to deal with people of unknown origin was to stay away and not interfere with anything.

But the goodness in their hearts was not extinguished, and they still extended a helping hand.

The meat is being grilled.

One glance revealed that Qiye was biting his nails.

I frowned, wanting to say something, but then I thought better of it and decided to give up.

Other people's little habits are none of her business.

I was just thinking about it, but I couldn't help asking.

"Who exactly are you people?"

A boy, who was seriously injured and whose right eye was still closed, and a little girl who looked only six or seven years old.

How did two people like that end up in this forest?

She understood that this forest was a training ground used by the empire to train assassination squads, and she had been sent here to train in the skills of killing.

There were many people guarding the area, and she could only move around relatively freely within the training ground.

It's difficult to escape.

It would be difficult to break in.

The things they do every day here are nothing more than exercising and fighting dangerous species. Occasionally, someone will ambush them, and if they die, their corpses will become food for the dangerous species.

If they survive and even manage to turn the tables, it means they have greater potential and value to cultivate.

At first, she also suspected that Qiye was the one who came to launch a sneak attack.

However, Qi Ye's injuries were genuine, and he wouldn't have brought a defenseless little girl to ambush him, which is why she stepped in to help.

Now it seems that both the boy and the girl are a bit strange.

“Oh, my name is Qiye, and I am a… scientist. Yes, a scientist. This little girl is Febri. We… are here for tourism. The environment here is beautiful. I haven’t seen such a pristine forest in a long time.”

Nana said this place was very nice.

Forests are a treasure trove; you can find many useful things there, such as medicinal herbs.

There might be some mineral deposits as well.

Gold mine? Silver mine?

That's not important; gold and silver treasures don't mean much to Qi Ye.

"travel?"

Akame looked at Shichiya with a sidelong glance.

Whether others believe it or not, she certainly doesn't. Coming to a place like this for tourism is no different from courting death.

But no further inquiries were made.

The meat is cooked through.

He took it and handed it to Qiye.

"You'd better leave here quickly."

A word of advice.

Then he went to put out the fire, dealt with the situation, and left.

Nanaya didn't pay much attention, but just looked at Febri, who was studying the small insects on the side.

"Fibril, come and have dinner."

"Hi!"

……

Qiye's injuries were not too serious.

Of course, that's only relative. If it were someone else, they would probably have to stay in bed for several months to fully recover.

Even after seven nights, he had been lying down for several days.

He himself didn't feel anything was wrong, but Philip was a little overwhelmed. After all, she was just a little girl, and it was normal for her to feel bored lying in the tree hole all day.

Most importantly, they couldn't take a bath, and they didn't have any clean clothes to change into.

Fortunately, the little girl Akame would occasionally come over to help them grill meat or something, and she would also secretly take Febriy out, perhaps to the river to help her wash her body or something.

Seven Nights didn't care either.

He simply used his mental power to find some strange plants and the like, then used coordinate movement to bring the herbs back for research, and some of them turned out to have medicinal value.

Who knows, it might even have some amazing effects.

Of course, the purpose of searching for herbs was also to make lollipops to neutralize the toxins in Febri's body.

Otherwise, we can't just let Philip eat his lollipop, can we?

Let's leave that aside for now.

Akame was somewhat surprised that Shichiya was always fiddling with the herbs.

Why is an injured person not resting properly but instead searching for these strange plants? Isn't this boy afraid of dying?

But she didn't say much.

I'm good enough at managing myself; I don't have the energy to meddle in other people's business.
