Can We Become A Family?

CHAPTER 26

"......"

Navia held her breath with a nervous face. If anyone was guarding outside, they could have come inside after hearing the sound. But nothing happened. There seemed to be no one guarding outside.

"...sigh."

Navia let out a long sigh and began to check her surroundings more actively. However, it was practically empty. Navia felt boxes stacked up, confirming that she was in a warehouse.

'I'll find something useful if I keep searching.'

There was no law against death under any circumstances. Navia grit her teeth from the cold, but got a hold of herself and checked the items in her hand.

How long had it been?

Navia found a ray of light shining through a very small crack in the wall.

The sound of grasshoppers crying at dawn couldn't even be heard.

Chirp, chirp!

Instead, the familiar chirping of sparrows in the morning were heard.

When Navia saw the light, it felt like a star was twinkling in front of her eyes, pointing her to the correct path.

Grumble.

'Ah... come to think of it, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning.'

Hungry. Navia had been shivering for a long time and her whole body hurt.

She was paying attention to escaping, but her concentration was suddenly broken. She was in a state she had never felt before.

But she kept moving.

If she failed to find any breakthroughs and stayed like this until Wood came...

Clang.

Navia felt something bump her hand and brought it to her nose. It had a small handle and a palm-sized plate.

'...hand mirror?'

If it's this shape, isn't it just a hand mirror? Navia lifted it up to the ray of light. The amount of light shining in the warehouse was extremely little. It was a situation where more light was needed to actually see what was in her hand.

'Light can be reflected on the mirror to get more light.'

Navia stuck the mirror out to the sunlight shining through the cracks in the wall.

Shine!

The light that flowed in lightly hit the mirror and created a new beam of light.

Navia moved the light to gain a wider view inside. She could see the abandoned cabin covered with dust and spider webs.

It seemed no different from what she speculated all night.

'Was there a place like this in the Duchy?'

Looking back on her past eight lives, she couldn't even figure out the purpose for this place.

She was almost surprised that Wood found this place.

Navia was soon able to find out where the door was.

Wouldn't it be possible to break the door open with force since it's such an old place?

After a deep breath, Navia hit her body hard against the door.

Slam!

"Euk!"

Even though it was an old wooden door, it didn't budge with Navia's strength. Because she was in a starved and cold state, Navia didn't seem to have any strength. Navia tried to hit the door a few more times with her body, but she collapsed in the corner.
