In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair-Chapter 151 - 151 She is definitely from another world
151 She is definitely from another world
โHow much longer youโre going to stay aloof while riding your horse? Itโs dangerous.โ f๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ๐๐๐งเซฆ๐๐ฒl.c๐๐ฎ
Anne, flustered by Justiceโs words, nodded at him and concentrated on the road. They have no time to spare, the landslide just makes them lose more precious time than they already were. This time it was Henry and Justice who lead the way, while Vale and Anne stay close behind them.
Vale couldnโt ignore how Anne reacted back then, she was thinking about something, and he wanted to know what happened to her, he gave a big speech to Anne about becoming friends, although what was inside his mind was something more than just a friend. He chuckles and shakes his head, thinking about how foolish he was right now, clamoring over a girl while they were trying to investigate the new variant source.
Justice turns his attention to Anne. โAre you alright?โ Asked the crown prince to the healer.
โYes, I am fine. Just keep going. We donโt know what hurdles that could delay our journey again!โ She gave a weak smile and not said a single word afterward.
Justice let out a sigh and continued on riding the horse. They are almost two hours into the journey, and from the looks of it, they will arrive at the cliff four hours before sunset. He just hopes the journey doesnโt have any more obstacles.
Henry took glanced at Justice, โJust let her be. Right now, we need to reach the cliff as soon as possible.โ
Henry was annoyed. Knowing Vale already gave her back, the elderwood bangled. He never expected her to agree to Valeโs request. He remembered the day that Anne gave them back the items and said she wasnโt meant to wear any of the items.
They arrived at the cliff in less than three hours. After the exhausting journey, all four of them need to take a break. Vale put his fire orb and Anne immediately sat closer to the source of heat. She feels strangely cold and a bit nauseous.
.....
โAnne, are you alright?โ Vale asked her. He knew that there was something wrong with her. โYour faceโฆโ
Anne shakes her head and forces a smile toward the primary captain. โIโm alright, Vale, donโt worry about it, probably because of the lack of sleep.โ
โYou brought your tonic, right?โ Said Justice, although he didnโt look into her directly.
โYes, Iโll drink it in a minute. Just let me breathe a bit.โ Anne rolled her eyes at the crown prince.
Henry, on the other hand, was chuckling when he saw their interaction. โWow, look at the two of you! Just reminiscing your old feelings, arenโt we?!โ
The other three immediately stared at the knight captain, while Vale and Justice ignored him. Anne sighed and gave Henry her opinion. โStop the sarcasm, Henry! It doesnโt suit your image.โ
โImage? Like I cared about your view on me right now.โ Said Henry with a scoff, while his icy blue eyes looked at Anne.
Anne shakes her head in disbelief, she looks at Henry once again, โLook, Henry, I donโt know what has come to you, justโฆ be civil, alright, we came here to investigate the moskeetoโs nest and what happened to the first patientโฆ.โ She then added, โYou donโt have to talk to me if you donโt want to.โ
For a moment, Henry just sat on the fire and has no more words to conjure. He stands up and walks to the cliff.
โWhat are you doing?โ Justice intercepted him before he was gone from their view.
โIโll search for a good route for our hike. Just stay there, eat something and take some rest,โ Henry told his friend and goes away.
Anne handed them a piece of bread, and she muttered some words to the other two, โHe told us to rest, but he actually needs the rest more than us.โ
Vale and Justice share a look, there were already aware of Henryโs lack of sleep. Never occurred in their mind about Anne, who realized something was wrong with Henry. Two years ago, after she left the four of them, Henry probably felt the heartache the most. He gradually lost his smile and suddenly went missing with a small note that informed Justice, Vale, and Xavier about his sudden adventure with his grandfather.
Vale cast a spell that put the fire on the fire orb dissipate, and after eating a light meal with some drink, they walk to the cliff and saw Henry already on higher ground, looking at them.
โWhat took you so long?โ Gruntled Henry, he pointed to one colorful branch where the three of them noticed small steps. โGo from there. It was not very steep, perfect for our fragile miss healer.โ ๐ง๐๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐ฃo๐ซ๐ฒ๐.๐o๐
Walking down the steps, Anne couldnโt even react to Henryโs remark. Justice climbed first and extended his hand to Anne.
โThereโs no need to. I have my own way to go up.โ Said Anne, while giving Justice a grin.
Vale has a frown on his face. โHow do you going to go up without climbing?โ
โBy using my familiar, of course,โ Anne answered Valeโs questions while calling for Chikara. โDid you hear that, my boy? Time to show them what we are capable of doing.โ
โAs you wish, master.โ
Chikara materialized in front of them, with his demon cat body. Even though the fluffy fur stayed with him, the color of the fur was changing into a grey color with a purple color tail, like his masterโs hair. Anne climbed on Chikara, while Justice and Vale looked in awe at her.
โReady, master?โ Asked Chikara.
โNot yet.โ Said, Anne. She turned her attention to Justice and Vale. โBoth of you, go ahead. I will join after the three of you reached the cave.โ
โYouโฆ Really going to ride with your familiar?โ Vale was asking her with disbelief in his eyes.
โYes, and I urged the two of you to climb before Henry loses his mind.โ Said Anne with her eyebrows raised as a warning.
Needless to say, Anne arrived safely at the opening of the cave, with the three of them looking at her with various expressions, of disbelief, curiosity, and astonishment.
โWhy are you looking at me like that?โ Anne was wondering why all of them seems surprised about her act.
โBecause you were riding your familiar, Anne.โ Justice looks at her with astonishment on his expression, โThere are no people in this kingdom who could ride their familiar before, even the four of us.โ
โWhat? Really? I thought it was normal to ride your familiar.โ
โYeah, like Justice will suddenly mount Kirara,โ Said Henry, while a slight chuckle came from his mouth. His expression, however, suddenly changed to a serious tone. โNo, people in this world couldnโt ride their familiar. So, if you donโt want the others wondering about your peculiarity, I suggested that you be careful from now on.โ
โNoted.โ Anne said while her eyes focused on Henry, kind of challenging the brooding knight captain, โHappy?!โ
โEcstaticโฆโ Mumbled Henry, his head looking around the cave, โItโs too dark here. How about we put some light?โ He put out the light orb from his pocket.
Anneโs eyes grew bigger, and she screamed at Henry, โNo, Henry, put the light off!โ
It was too late. The moment Henry lighted the cave, a huge nest of moskeetos were in front of them, with the bugs buzzing around them.
