Although Stefan could not use the privilege without knowing about it, he was still very happy to get an additional reward.

After the excitement passed, he felt as if he has forgotten some things. Then he smelled the rich aroma of porridge. He immediately stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Stefan removed the cooker and left it open for the porridge to get cooled down.

He scooped out the noodles and carried them to the dining table.

''Li, come out, dinner is ready''. Stefan called Aouli and Heli for dinner.

Just as Li and Stefan sat on the chair, Heli came out from one of the rooms and sat on the opposite side of them.

''Let us start eating'', said Stefan.

....

After their dinner, Stefan filled a bowl with porridge, carried a container filled with hot water, and went towards the room where Esha was resting.

He put two drops of healing potion in the porridge and mixed it, after that, he first kept the hot water and then kept the porridge above it. In this way, if Esha wakes up in the middle of the night and feels hungry, she can eat the porridge kept on the table.

He saw that Esha was still asleep, even after so much disturbance, so he switched off the lights but kept the table lamp on.

.....

It was two a.m., when Esha woke up feeling hungry. She was still not sober enough to realize the change of surroundings.

Her delicate nose smelled a delicious scent. Her eyes followed the smell, and she opened the lid of the covered bowl.

She stared at it for some minutes, but eventually, her aching stomach won over her other thoughts and she started eating it.

The porridge tasted more delicious because of the addition of the healing potion added by Stefan.

After her stomach was full, she eventually started feeling sleepy due to the medicinal effects of the potion.

She covered herself clumsily and took a pillow in her arms while laying down to sleep.

...

The next morning, when Stefan was still in a daze, Heli reminded him of his appointment with Ethan and William, which he missed yesterday due to the side missions.

Stefan forgot to react in a daze. After coming to his senses, he reacted, ''OH NO!, they must have waited for me the whole afternoon, and yet I did not show up.''

''It's over!! They are my only friends in this new world, and I am going to lose them too!'', Stefan exclaimed in frustration.

He got out of the bed and went towards the bathroom. After ten minutes, he freshened up and made his way towards the kitchen.

Stefan decided to make some simple dishes, that will be paired with a glass of warm milk. He woke Li up, and asked if he wanted to go out with him for some time,

''Yes! Yes!'', Li nodded his head, like a chicken pecking at rice and after having his breakfast quickly, dashed towards his room to get ready.

Both Stefan and Li were ready in twenty minutes. And, coincidently, both of them forgot that there was still a patient in the room.

Before, they came out, Stefan took out the herb that he got yesterday, to try his luck in the market. If he could sell it, he might earn something today.

....

Inside the inn..

Ethan was wondering if Liam still remembered about their appointment or forgot it.

'When will Liam come? Maybe he knows something about that box called refrigratr? I don't know why, but I feel a sense of familiarity from him', William was thinking all this inwardly, but his expression on the outside did not change at all.

Just as both of them were lost in thoughts, they saw a man running from outside, and whispering something to a group of people. After that, the group of people ran outside the inn, together with the man.

William and Ethan glanced at each other after and then dashed out of the inn together. They instinctively felt that something was wrong with the group of people.

''I told you that I got this herb by a coincidence. Please give Li back to me. He is just a little child'', Stefan begged the person in front of him to return Li to him.

....

About fifteen minutes ago, he reached the town and decided to first try selling this herb.

After asking around where the most famous medicine hall is, he arrived there in five minutes. Just as he showed the herb to the reception boy, these people surrounded him and held Li captive.

Since twenty minutes, they are asking him two questions repeatedly,' How did you get this herb?' and 'Where did you get it?'

But he didn't know why these people were asking him the same question, and just what the hell is this herb used for!!
