Chapter 158 - Tasting The Flower’s Nectar
Chapter 158 - Tasting The Flower’s Nectar
"Can you stop inspecting my soul shard? It's making me blush…"
Daisy's embarrassed voice sounded from the soul shard.
"Ah! Is it bad?"
Lawrend jumped in fright hearing her voice.
"Yes, it is. It feels like you're looking straight into me…"
Daisy replied in a shy voice.
"Okay. I won't do it again."
Lawrend replied to her.
"Thank you."
Daisy replied gratefully.
Lawrend pocketed her soul shard and stood up. He looked around and started heading back to camp.
"How much time had passed?"
Lawrend asked her.
"None."
Daisy replied curtly.
"Wow. That's convenient."
Lawrend exclaimed in surprise.
"Also, can you teach me magic if you have time?"
Lawrend asked her. It would be beneficial to him if he could learn something from her.
"...No. Maybe if you can find my other soul shards."
Daisy replied to him.
"Does that mean that you only remember your tragic love story with that guy?"
Lawrend continued asking her as he walked through the dark forest.
"Mm. That's all I know. From start to finish, I can remember everything about our… love story."
Daisy replied to him in a downcast voice.
"What about me? Did you look into my memories?"
Lawrend asked her. It would be bad if she saw the memories of his past life.
"Yes. And I was sure that I sealed it properly. What is wrong with your soul?"
Daisy agreed and asked him with a questioning voice.
"Ahahaha… You didn't see anything weird did you?"
Lawrend hoped that she didn't get any access to the memories he got from his past life.
"Aside from the fact that you want to have a maid harem, yes."
Daisy replied to him.
"..."
Lawrend was speechless. She didn't have to rub dirt on his face.
"Huh?"
Lawrend suddenly felt something squishy on his foot.
"Wait, it's Logan!"
Lawrend examined the squishy thing in front of him and saw that it was Logan's face. He was lying on the ground unconscious with foam coming out of his mouth.
"Sh*t. What did this guy eat?"
Lawrend cursed unluckily. This guy only knows how to bring him more trouble. He actually got poisoned.
He lifted him onto his shoulders and was about to carry him back to the camp when he remembered something.
'Wasn't there a saying back in my world that you can find the antidote to a poison near it?'
Lawrend remembered in his thoughts.
He dropped Logan to the ground, and he used his lightning to light up his surroundings. He looked around for the poison that Logan could have eaten.
"It's this!"
Lawrend found it. It was a red berry bush. There were some signs of someone taking some of its berries.
Lawrend then looked down at the bottom of the berry bush. He searched if there was any kind of plant life under it.
"A grass!"
Lawrend found one. It was a lone grass plant. He then proceeded to pluck it from the ground. He rolled it into a ball and shoved it down Logan's mouth.
"...I'd be happier to save you if you were a woman."
Lawrend couldn't help but say out loud.
"Water. He needs water or he won't swallow it."
Lawrend said to himself.
"Wait, didn't Humility give me a packet of water?"
Lawrend pulled it out from his pocket. It became lukewarm from his body heat.
"...Should I give it to him?"
Lawrend looked at it and at Logan who was unconscious like a log.
"This is her precious nectar. I can't…"
Lawrend bit his lips. He can't just make someone drink something she painstakingly 'made' for him.
"What's that?"
Daisy suddenly asked him.
"This… Is something someone made for me."
Lawrend replied to her. He doesn't dare to tell her the truth of its origin.
"Uh-huh. Are you forgetting that I saw your memory?"
Daisy asked Lawrend in a smug voice.
"Then why did you ask?"
Lawrend retorted wryly.
"I want to see if you are shameless enough to explain what that thing is to me."
Daisy replied in an annoyed voice.
"I'm not that perverted to boast something like this."
Lawrend replied to her with a wry smile on his face.
"Either you drink it or you dump it on the ground. Choose one. Easy."
Daisy said to him in a carefree voice.
"D-Drink it? Are you crazy?"
Lawrend asked her in a fluster.
"Did I say that you should specifically drink it?"
Daisy retorted.
"..."
Lawrend was speechless. He never encountered someone who could make him feel this helpless. That's an ancient monster for you.
"I'm dumping it on the ground."
Lawrend said to her.
"Wait, are you really sure? You will trample on her feelings for you."
Daisy asked him in worry.
"Why are you guilt-tripping me?"
Lawrend asked her solemnly. He could feel that something was not right with the way she was insinuating him to drink Humility's squirt water.
"Huh? What do you mean? I'm not."
Daisy replied to him in a confused voice.
"I'm sure you are."
Lawrend replied to her, annoyed.
"Hmph. You're no fun."
Daisy harrumphed in annoyance.
"I'll… give it a taste at least."
Lawrend replied to her reluctantly.
"Oh!! That's more like it. You should appreciate the thing she made for you."
Daisy replied to him excitedly.
"Just a taste."
Lawrend said to her. He then tore the pouch and dipped his finger inside. He placed it on his tongue slowly before tasting it.
"It's... not bad. It tastes even sweet?"
Lawrend was confused. He wasn't so crazy in his past life to drink squirts of the women he made love with, which is why he has no idea about its taste.
"Hahahahahaha! You really tasted it! What a pervert."
Daisy's laugh echoed within the forest.
"What happened to your personality? You sound more like an annoying brat right now. I missed that graceful you that I saw before."
Lawrend asked her in a regretful voice.
"Huh? Do I seem different?"
Daisy was surprised. She didn't feel that she was any different.
"It could be because you aren't complete yet."
Lawrend said to her.
