Life Simulation: My Talent Is Wool-Chapter 10: After the Storm
Chapter 10: After the Storm
At first, Luan thought it would be difficult to hide Catharina’s existence in his house.
But, strangely, it was easier than it seemed. Another three months passed, and no one suspected anything.
That day, Luan turned 14 years old.
Things had improved in the village since the rain that lasted almost two months.
Because they lived on top of a flat hill, which, by the way, is said that thousands of years ago, a great expert cut the peak of this mountain with a simple sword strike. Not long after, the Great Tree Village was created in this place.
That said, the wells they had dug before, even the river that had dried up before, filled with water thanks to the rain.
They managed to successfully plant some grains, and harvest. As well as hunt many wild animals, returning almost to what it was before.
And, it was also on that day that they had an unexpected ’visit’.
Adam returned to the village.
His arrival was received full of strangeness.
Luan had never seen this old man so embarrassed, but with false moralism.
He shouted for justice, saying that he had been deceived by a man who was actually a Lv4.
This same man threatened the lives of all the village inhabitants if he did not listen to what he was told, and for the love of the village, Adam left. Only days later he heard about the drought, and wanted to return, but that man did not allow it.
Strangely, practically everyone bought this lie, or those who knew he was not telling the truth or the whole truth, even so, it was undeniable that with Adam’s presence in the village things could get better.
In addition, Adam reopened the ice shop, not only that, but he also said that for the next two months he would sell at half the price.
Luan was watching this unfold from a considerable distance.
He sighed: ’In the end, even if it’s possible to preserve meat with salt, it’s hard to compete with the use of ice...’
Even though Luan felt there was something suspicious about all of this, he himself understood that it was better to buy this lie than to not have Adam in the village. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Turning around, he headed toward his house.
He had already bought what he wanted, there was no more reason to stay watching this unfold.
When he reached the door of the house, he opened it and announced: "I’m back."
Catharina, who had stayed in the room all this time, came out upon hearing his voice.
Different from months ago, now she wore clean clothes made by Luan with the wool, a single-piece white dress that went down to the ankle, and her white hair was tied with a white bow in the shape of a butterfly.
Her expression was indifferent, since she arrived, she had not smiled a single time, but there was a unique shine in her golden eyes when she saw Luan.
"Welcome back." She said, trying to sound as gentle as possible, but strangely, her voice sounded cold.
"Did I take too long?" He took off his shoes and entered.
"No." She denied, shaking her head.
Since she recovered as well, her animalistic aspects worsened. Now, even a white fox tail protruded behind her and a pair of cute white ears on top of her head.
If before it would have been difficult to hide that she was a demi-human, now it became almost impossible.
And, it was not possible to use as an excuse that her talent was fox spirit, since there is a limit to how long someone could stay transformed, only a demi-human would be capable of staying transformed all the time.
Firsthand, Luan saw how superior a demi-human was. Even being 3 years and a few months younger than him, Catharina was actually stronger than him.
If he were an ordinary boy, it would even be acceptable, but he trained every day, even so, he didn’t have even half of her strength.
Not to mention that strength was not her only advantage, she also had better reflexes, as well as speed... In fact, she was quite fast.
’The ’human’ part of her has not yet awakened a talent, if it awakens...’
It was hard even to imagine how strong she was going to become.
Most people awaken a talent between 7 to 18 years of age. After reaching 18, it is hardly possible to awaken a talent, but there is still a chance before reaching 21 years old. After that, it is practically impossible.
In his case, it was at 9. Back on Earth, it was at 17 to 18 years old.
He said: "I’m going to prepare lunch now, wait a bit."
"Let me help you, Luan." She asked, extending her hand toward the shopping bag.
Understanding a little about her, he knew that refusing was not a good option: "Thank you."
Upon accepting the shopping bag, her expression softened even more.
She liked to be useful, even if it was simply to carry the bag to the counter in the kitchen.
...
The table had a large variety of vegetables.
Lettuce salad, carrot, zucchini, beetroot, cucumber and cherry tomato.
As well as a thick soup with green onion, peas and... The main ingredient, rabbit meat.
He was not economical. Although the rabbit he bought at the MB Butcher Shop weighed almost 6 kilos, he used half of the rabbit to prepare the soup.
Both he and Catharina were in the growing phase. And, since things had improved in the village, he allowed himself the luxury.
Learning from past mistakes, he no longer wanted to be economical.
When the drought hit the village, the money he had saved was worth nothing.
Of course, even thinking like that, he did not overdo it, he still saved a little for emergencies.
"Delicious~!" Catharina licked her lips wet with oil.
Smiling at her, he said: "Glad you liked it."
"Everything you make is delicious!" She said seriously, and Luan laughed.
"Really?" He said: "Then, eat more."
"Hmm." She nodded.
