Evan Promises
Feeling safe because the King's feared Blightclaw had died, the King ordered the parents, women, and children to remain in the hideout and the young men to come with Evan to kill the monsters that entered the castle through the passageway destroyed by the Blightclaw attack.
About 50 Youths join Evan, and Evan asks to bring emergency weapons to guard against monsters entering the castle, such as wooden sticks, and kitchen knives.
The king, Evan, and the youths returned to Blightclaw's corpse to clean Blightclaw's corpse, and collect the scales and parts of Blightclaw like its fangs to use as weapons and defenses, then they cleaned Blightclaw's corpse from the castle.
Then some of the youths repaired the damaged castle and others hunted cattle level monsters around the kingdom, with weapons taken from Blightclaw. Then they headed outside the castle area. Youth - The young man was shocked to see their village which was once fertile and filled with plants has now dried up and been damaged by monsters.
"I hope the youths stay calm and don't let anger overtake you" The king reminded his people who looked angry after seeing the condition of his beloved village.
Then it didn't take them long to kill the monsters around the castle, because there were only cattle level monsters here. Evan only used his black sword to kill cattle level monsters.
"What a weapon, if only we had this weapon from the start, maybe we wouldn't be this sad." said a young man who had just managed to kill a low-level monster.
"If it weren't for Evan Knight who was able to kill the fierce Blightclaw, we might not be able to get this weapon" replied another young man.
"You better focus on the battlefield, don't let your guard down and die silly here." The king warned the youths not to be happy too quickly even though the monsters around the castle had been wiped out.
It's been 2 months the monsters from the south continue to arrive and enter the Zefrington Kingdom, it took a long time to finish off the monsters in the kingdom and it was getting dark.
"It will be dangerous if we fight at night, we better go back to the castle, and help the young man who is repairing the castle." Evan gave the input to the King who was standing in the back.
"All right, everyone !! Go back to the castle and help repair the castle" The king ordered the young man who had just slaughtered cattle level monsters.
Then they all returned to the castle to help repair the castle and brought food supplies from the hiding room carried up to the castle kitchen.
"How many more days will our food supply last?" Evan asked a young man who had finished bringing food supplies to the castle kitchen.
"We still have, 10 sacks of wheat, 5 sacks of corn and 5 sacks of potatoes" replied one man while counting the number of sacks that had been arranged in the castle storage room.
"Hmm ... how many inhabitants of the Zefrington Kingdom?" Evan tries to count how long the available inventory will last.
"About 200 people, 50 youths, 29 elderly people, 75 women and 46 children" The youth remembered the inhabitants of the kingdom.
"Hmmm ... this supply should last for 20 days at most." After assuming the available supply and the population in mind.
"How come? Usually, we can finish 20 sacks in just 10 days." It felt impossible because the food supply of the Zefrington Kingdom which was spent in hiding for 2 months was about 120 sacks.
Then Evan taught how to cook potatoes and corn to women, and taught men to make bread from wheat to cook food that Evan used to cook in Real World because Evan in Real World only lives alone and often cooks his own food.
"Wow, it turns out you are good at cooking Professor." Allysa teased Evan in his head, Evan always carried Aenontite Chip in his pocket.
"I'm not a professor Allysa anymore, just call me Evan. I'm only 5 years older than you, so we can be closer." Evan is cutting the potatoes into cubes.
"E ... van .... Evan ... Evan," Allysa stammered up to repeat 3 times when she called the name of the person she respected by her nickname.
"Allysa, how did you get your soul into the Aenontite Chip?" Evan asked Allysa.
"What I remember, when I have dropped off a cliff and on the verge of death I saw a bright golden light and tried to reach it and when I realized I only saw a dark room and tried to call people I know and only you who answered" Allysa tries to remember what happened to him
"Darkroom? Do you currently see what I am doing?" Evan asked Allysa a little oddly.
"Not here only a dark room without light that I can see, or maybe my eyes are not open yet. I can only hear your voice, Evan" Allysa explained what she felt.
"Then how can you be so sure when you attack Blightclaw, that you can't even see anything and can only hear my words." Evan stopped cooking for a moment.
"Somehow at that time, I felt that there was a strong desire to push me to be able to channel power to you. Maybe because of the power of the Aenontite Chip that became my container."
After hearing Allysa's statement, Evan asked the woman next to him to continue cooking. then Evan walked out into the castle grounds and hit the castle wall a few times to vent his irritation.
"I'm sorry Allysa, I'm sorry. Because of my fault, you lost your body and even now you are trapped in a dark room." Evan's hand was injured from hitting the castle wall.
"Evan, don't blame yourself too deeply. At least my soul is now alive, there is still a chance for me to come back to life." Allysa tries to encourage Evan
"Allysa, this promise of mine. I will make you come back to life as a human again, even if I have to risk my own life." Evan makes a promise to Allysa to atone for his sins.
