Chapter 14: Healing injuries
After walking for a while, Kogan noticed a tree with relatively large leaves—big enough to be used as fans.
This tree wasn't common; it was the first time he had seen one since arriving in this place.
Its fruits resembled grapes but had a different taste.
Kogan picked a bunch and ate them before starting to cut the leaves.
"Should I help?" Hinako asked, waiting for opportunities like this to prove her usefulness to him.
"I won't say no."
"That's fair enough," she smiled and began plucking leaves alongside him.
After gathering dozens, Kogan rolled up a portion, tied them together, and formed a belt. He wrapped it around his waist—though uneven, it did the job.
He then stuffed the remaining leaves between himself and the belt, crafting a makeshift green skirt.
"You look like a primitive man now," Hinako started laughing at him.
Kogan turned toward her with a serious face.
