Chapter 602: Networking is important even if you’re in the wild
"Whoaa...you’re seriously well-prepared!"
The kids exclaimed at the camping equipment and ingredients I took out. Honestly, I had no idea why they were reacting like that--I mean, they also brought all kinds of equipment. Especially Aina, who seemed to bring half his kitchen into the journey.
Gosh--this kind of journey would be so much harder without dimensional storage items, wouldn’t it? No wonder they were so expensive.
Thankfully, Arta didn’t only pack one tent, but several, and we decided to use what I brought because everyone was curious about the tents from the Demon Realm. Thanks to that, I was freed of construction duty, and thanks to the ingredients, I was also freed from cooking duty.
"What kind of sponsor does menial work anyway?" Zarfa waved her hands, giggling, before whispering to me. "Besides, can you really do any of this?"
"No?" I shrugged, and we giggled while watching Aina make her kitchen.
To be honest, at first, I wanted to learn how to pitch a tent, make a fire, and cook some simple camp meals. But when Jin, Renna, and Fatia started, they did it so quickly I didn’t have the heart to ask them to teach me--which would slow down the process several times.
And then, I looked at Aina and saw how passionate she was about her cooking, and the same thought came. I felt like I was going to burn more stuff than make them edible. Even if I helped with chopping, I had no experience with knife play. It wasn’t like I could chop them with Alveitya.
When I saw Ian doing the heavy lifting, I was thinking of helping him, but everyone told me to stay put. Hmm...I was sure it wasn’t because they thought I couldn’t do it, right?
"Worry not, my friend," Zarfa patted my back in assurance. "They just feel bad for how much you spent in the auction. If they let you work too, they’d feel like they’re robbing you."
I raised my brow and glanced at her. "What about you?"
