Chapter 119 - Something Unexpected Happened

Elincia, the mage dressed in a blue outfit, stood silently before Broken and then offered a faint smile.

"May I join you?" she asked softly.

"Sure...yes," Broken replied, shifting slightly to make space for her on the large, protruding root.

She sat beside him, pulling something from her inventory. It was a long loaf of bread.

Elincia smiled gently as she handed him a piece of the bread. "Take it," she said warmly. "It can temporarily boost your Strength stat; it's good for you."

Broken accepted it reluctantly, nodding silently. "Thanks..." he murmured.

The two of them ate the bread in silence, savoring each bite.

In truth, Broken found the bread exceptionally delicious. Its blend of sweetness and savory warmth was comforting in his mouth. While it wasn't as perfect as Ivana's, it had its own unique and excellent flavor.

"The bread is... really good," he said.

Elincia chuckled at his words. "Thanks for liking it."
