Story of the Changed World

Meeting of Choi Han and Cale Henituse (part 2)

CHAPTER 9: PICKED IT UP (2)

Cale held a bag that was twice the size of yesterday's bag as he headed back up to the top of the slums. The two siblings were there to greet him once again.

"Noona, that's us!" Hong exclaimed.
On don't really get the hype but still stand up like she was proud.

"I knew they weren't just some random travel kittens" Alberu whispered.

The children kept their mouth shut as they looked toward Cale. Cale smiled as he took out two small bags and pushed them toward the children.

"Take it."

The young girl slowly approached him. Cale frowned as he watched the girl with coarse grey hair approach him. She had a hand on her side as she limped over to him.

"Hey."

Cale pushed the two bags toward the young boy.

"You come here and take it."

The young boy quickly rushed over and snatched the bags before quickly running back. Compared to Cale's bright red hair, the boy had coarse dark red hair that shook as he ran.

Cale then turned around and headed toward the man-eating tree.

"Wow."
"It's not bread. It's meat and cake."

'Should I be a kitten too so that Cale-nim will not think of me killing him every second?' Choi then thought and looked at Cale.

'Why is he looking at me? I didn't think of him killing me this time. Did he decide to just kill me? No, he already clarified it. He will not will me...probably'
Cale sweats and decided to focus on the screen and not give a fuck to Choi Han.

He could hear the siblings talking about the food, but he did not care. He continued to walk toward the man-eating tree's territory.

Oooooooooooooong-

"...It's a bit scary."

The black tree without any leaves seemed to be moving its branches to welcome Cale. This eerie feeling made Cale nervous, but he still poured the contents of the bag into the hole underneath the tree.

"What are you doing? Did you grow crazy being on the young master's body?" Asked Beacrox

"Feeding the tree? What's with you asking something so obvious?" Cale can feel Beacrox glaring at him.
'Should I not answer him?'

"But Henituse, why are feeding a tree?" Alberu asked

"Oh, I was getting the ancient power, Indestructible Shield, this time. It's the shield I used in the Terror Plaza Incident"

"You picked up a shield by feeding a tree? Where's the logic in that?"

"It was the test, Your Highness"

The bread quickly disappeared.

It was at that moment.

...More, give me more.

"You said you were getting an ancient power right?" the guy named Bud Illis asked.

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"Why does it talk?"

"huh?"

"huh?"

"Don't ancient powers normally talk when getting it? It even says it's backstory"
