Chapter 44: War Begins
Suwan didn't get enough rest these past two days. She felt like she was living a year in a day. At least the team members could take care of each other. She was almost nervous after these few days alone. Now that she finally reunited with the team members, Suwan relaxed her body and mind, and her tense nerves also relaxed. After a while, she became drowsy and lowered her head to peck at rice. Angela held her chin with her palm to wake her up: "Don't sleep here, you will fall off the tree."
Suwan was so sleepy that she hummed indistinctly, probably blaming Angela for disturbing her sleep. Angela was really afraid that she would fall under the tree, so she reached out and slapped her to wake her up. Unexpectedly, Suwan was so sleepy that she couldn't help herself, and she swayed forward with the force of Angela's slap, and fell out of the tree. Angela was startled and reached out to grab her but failed. She watched Suwan fall from the tree and almost screamed.
However, as a student of Belster, it was too embarrassing to fall down like this. Suwan was awakened by the shock the moment his body was in the air. He quickly hugged his head and rolled on the ground to relieve the impact so as not to get hurt. Angela, who was sitting on the branch, looked down and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Suwan climb up safely. Suwan suddenly fell to the ground and woke up Fry and Marty who were sleeping together under the tree next to them. The two looked at Suwan in horror with their eyes open, but Suwan was extremely calm. He patted his body and climbed up the tree again.
The students in the surrounding trees heard the noise and didn't know what was going on, so they asked Angela through the intercom.
Wales' voice came from the wireless headset: "Is it a zombie?" As long as Angela said yes, their guns would immediately aim in that direction.
"It's not a zombie," Angela said quickly. For Suwan's sake, she couldn't say directly that Suwan fell asleep and fell off the tree. She hesitated and heard the leaves rustling overhead. The squirrel that had disappeared jumped down from the tree. "That squirrel," Angela said quickly, "just fell off the tree."
The little squirrel looked around with its innocent little eyes, then looked at Suwan who had climbed up the tree, and ran towards Suwan, swinging its furry tail.
Would a squirrel make such a big noise when it landed? But since Angela said so, no one else asked, and Wales even joked, "Keep an eye on that squirrel."
"I will," Angela took the lively squirrel into her arms, then hung up the call and stroked the furry squirrel twice to comfort it. Angela wondered why Suwan was silent after climbing up the tree. She turned around and saw Suwan sitting on the branch leaning against the trunk and fell asleep again. It turned out that she was awake for a few seconds at the critical moment, but was completely sleepy after climbing up the tree.
As a good friend, Angela wanted to give Suwan some face, but she couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Suwan had a hard time these past few days. Angela could sense it even though she didn't explain it in detail. However, it was not until the next morning that Angela fully understood how badly Suwan had been having these past two days.
