Halvir's long-standing plan

Chapter 024 Halvir's long-standing plan

''Kak Halvir, I promise I'll try my best not to bother you. But please, don't leave me here alone!''

Anindira's face was pitiful, asking Halvir to take her away.

''It's not like that, Dira!'' Halvir replied, confused by Anindira's reaction, ''You never bother me. Why do you have to think like that... I've planned it a long time ago. Since I brought you from the *Forbidden Forest.''

''But Kak Halvir never discussed it with me!''

''How can I discuss it with you if it's embarrassing...''

''What's embarrassing?!'' Anindira asked loudly even though her voice was shaking from crying.

''Dira, don't look at me like that!'' Halvir exclaimed softly. His eyes looked sadly at Anindira. His big hand stroked her head, ''I was stupid. I made a mistake. I was too indifferent, and I regret it so much now. Really, I thought this would never come to me. That's why I didn't prepare anything.''

Halvir spoke with a calm face. His tone of voice was shaking, showing his disappointment and deep regret.

''Dira, you've seen it... in my house, there are almost no items that can be used to help you with your daily life as a woman.''

''Kak Halvir knows that it's not a big deal for me. For three months I haven't used the items that you think are important to me!''

''That's different Dira!'' Halvir exclaimed firmly with his sharp gaze.

Halvir's firm statement surprised Anindira. She immediately fell silent, staring at Halvir with eyes that could no longer hold back the tears that had been hanging since earlier.

''Dira, I'm sorry!'' Halvir exclaimed immediately. He panicked, seeing tears falling down Anindira's cheeks, ''I didn't mean to yell at you. Please, listen to me...'' Halvir begged Anindira while wiping her tears, ''Please... don't cry anymore...''

''Dira listen. Three months ago will be different from the next two months. The rainy season will arrive soon. Then, after that winter, you won't survive if you only rely on what I have now.''

''What do you mean? Is it that difficult to take care of me?''

''Dira, don't be stubborn!''

Halvir began to get frustrated because Anindira still didn't want to understand the reason Halvir had to leave her.

When Halvir began to raise his voice again, of course, that made Anindira shed tears again.

''Dira...'' Halvir called in a frustrated tone. He was annoyed, but he couldn't get angry either.

Halvir tried to be patient in dealing with Anindira's ignorance. He really had to hold himself back.

''Dira, listen to me... I'll explain it to you again. Please listen to what I say first... The three months of our journey. It was all possible because it was summer. But if it happened during the rainy season, you would probably only survive for a month at most. What's more, if it's winter... your chances of survival are very slim Dira.''

''But, Kak Halvir is with me!''

''Did you forget what you said last night?!''

Still with her puffy face. Anindira's eyes looked at Halvir with a questioning gaze.

''Senile!'' Halvir exclaimed. With a smile he wiped the mucus coming out of Anindira's nose, ''It's only been a night, but you've already forgotten.''

''What?!'' Anindira asked. Her voice was a little hoarse, and she didn't care about Halvir wiping the mucus off her face.

''I am indeed strong, but I can't live alone... that's true, Dira. What's more, if it's about taking care of a woman. I won't be able to be alone... I need help, Dira.''

''But does it have to be now? I've only been here for two days...''

''Dira, didn't you listen to what I said properly?! Summer is the time to gather food. Hunting, preserving meat, drying fur. In winter, dried meat will become food stock. Then, tanned skin. You! Women will need it very much. No less important than all of that is *Amber... Have food in stock. Have skin to make blankets. Without *Amber, you, women would suffer greatly... I have enough blankets, but I don't have food in stock. Then the *Amber I have is not enough for our needs.''

As *Sapphire, of course, Halvir is very embarrassed to express how helpless he is right now. But that is the reality that he must accept. Like it or not, he has to admit it, and he is asking for Anindira's understanding to understand his situation.

''Be a little patient, Dira!'' Halvir asked once again, ''The rainy season is coming soon. At that time, we cannot preserve meat and cannot tan animal skins.''

Halvir could see fear in Anindira's eyes, it was very clear from her expression that Anindira did not want to be left. But, Halvir patiently explained to Anindira that she has to be more patient and understand Halvir's limitations.

Anindira looked at Halvir with a worried face. She listened carefully to Halvir's words. She tried to understand him even though there were some things she didn't understand. But, because Anindira's heart was sad because Halvir would suddenly leave her, she was too lazy to ask.

Information about the situation in the WORLD OF BEASTS

In this world, winter is very long. Many women fall ill because of it. *Amber is a must for every household that has women. *Amber is a very valuable commodity, because *Amber is a medicine to strengthen the physical condition of both men and women.

In the rainy season and winter, every household must have a supply. Women have weaker bodies and are very susceptible to illness in that season. Freezing temperatures make them cold. Then, in the end, it will make women susceptible to illness. During winter, usually, women who are in prime condition will consume *Amber at least once a month. This is done if they want to maintain their physical condition. More is better, but no matter how great the men in their household are, it would be better if they used *Amber wisely.

Only about ten to thirty percent of the Herbivora Clan population can level up. In general, they can't even level up at all. Even so, they have advantages in the form of extraordinary perseverance, tenacity, and precision. Therefore, positions as tailors, jewelry makers, potters, farmers, and also, no less importantly, doctors. These professions are done by herbivores.

They also need skin and meat like the Predators. But because they are not good at hunting, the Predator Clan does it.

Some of the herbivores are doctors. Thanks to that ability, they are quite respected. Hans is truly one of the Predator Clan. Maybe he is the only apex predator clan that can understand medicine and drugs well.
