Eva's present

"Why are you showing me this? What do you want me to do, Eva?" Garnt asked as the memory ended before she pushed the button that would cause something life-changing.

Garnt was looking at the whole memory with a straight face, but he understood one thing clearly. He understood that Eva was not an innocent woman. After all, he could clearly tell the pain of the children in the chambers filled with some kind of liquid.

[Do you hate me after seeing all this? I'm the woman who lost everything. I don't want to reveal what happened after that, at least for now, but I want you to see this and understand me. I have no intention to lie, as our lives and goals are now aligned together.]

Garnt thought for a few minutes and said something Eva didn't expect to hear.

"But you were crying while sleeping repeatedly saying sorry, I don't know the details but I can clearly see how hurt you are. Besides you saved me and my mother. I can't hate you, Eva."

[What if my goals hurt you and your mother? You should know I'm not doing this as a charity. In the future, I'm going to ask something from you. When that time comes can you say for sure, that you won't hate me?]

"I don't know, but there's no point in thinking about it right? We can work as a team and solve whatever you want. Besides I have my trust in you. I know that you won't hurt me or my mother, so whatever your request is, I will try my best in the future so you won't have to make extreme decisions,"

Eva couldn't help but feel that her decision to choose Garnt was the right one. Never in her life as a reputable doctor had she thought that she would be comforted by a ten-year-old Stone Age kid.

[Fine. You can believe me, I just wanted to clear everything up before you misunderstand that I'm doing all this for free. So you can wake up now]

The moment those words left her lips, Garnt's ears were filled with the cries of his young cousin. He swiftly sprang to his feet, a sense of lateness washing over him. The sun had long passed its zenith, marking the noon hour.

"Ohh~ he is awake, mother!" The little girl, who was sitting next to him and doing her own work shouted as soon as she saw Garnt. All of them were happy to see Garnt resting after everything he did and never expected that he was living in a memory.

"Sorry, I overslept," Garnt said as he quickly took some water and washed his face and took an aromatic stick and cleaned his mouth.

Eva was actually surprised by how different the human body was in this Stone Age since she saw how resistant their bodies were against the bacteria. So they rarely had a bad breath.

"It's fine, you need rest after all, I was waiting for you to wake up so we could go hunting," Aunt said as she prepared everything including the bone weapons. They made so many weapons with the hunted material, that they actually had a stockpile of weapons with them, so they didn't have to worry too much about it.

Gundo was taking care of the little kid, as she decided to help her sister who was inexperienced with parenting and Ayra was sometimes jealous of how good she was with kids.

"Garnt, should we go and check whether we can collect those wolves we killed? I feel like it is such a waste to leave their bodies,"

Garnt thought about Ayra's words, but he decided not to do that since it was dangerous to consume rotten meat.

"No, we will hunt new animals, we can't go back since other wolves might guard the bodies of their kin, and also I have a new project I want to work on." Garnt paused for a minute and looked at his aunt, who was only covering her latter part with some leaves. He was clearly able to see her ample breasts and abs, which he started to feel weird.

He didn't know why, but he started to feel a little tingle, so he quickly wanted to make these clothes that would cover her body, as well as his mother's.

"Clothes? Sounds interesting so what should we do for it?" Ayra asked excited about her first project.

"First, we should find some animals that are less dangerous but have more fur and skin. Also, we need more people in our group that we can trust. Since Kara is still small, she won't be able to help us, so I don't want to leave everything for Mother," Ayra nodded hearing Garnt's words.

"Hmm~ more people," Ayra thought for a minute, as she tried to remember every encounter she had and suddenly an idea came to her mind. "I have seen some people near the cave where I used to live, maybe we can find them and convince them,"

"Good, we will do that, but for now let's go hunting and find some animals that can provide us with clothes," Garnt said and took his own equipments and said goodbye to his mother, who was busy with the two kids and went hunting with Ayra.

They did the same routine of collecting some fruits and hunting some rabbits, but at the same time, both of them kept a keen eye on the area as they wanted some big animals to hunt.

"I think a Primal Bull or Steppe Bison will be enough to feed us, as well as make clothes for two of us. The problem is how are we going to carry them after killing. I know it will be hard since the bison breeding area is so far away from our cave," Ayra said with her hunting experience.

"Well, I have a plan for that, so for now let's find their breeding place and mark the area," replied Garnt, with confidence in his voice.
