The following day, many soldiers were outside the base, looking up at the spectacle overhead.
Bing Shi was awakened by a loud noise and stepped out of her tent to witness two men engaged in a fierce fight. She glanced down at Kuro, who was roasting sweet potatoes over a campfire.
[Host, Ziek brought you sweet potatoes.]
["Aw, that's so thoughtful of him."]
When Ziek noticed Bing Shi's presence, he abruptly ceased his confrontation with Yi Zen. With a swift motion, he tossed Yi Zen out of the base, then descended to the ground and settled into a fishing chair beside Bing Shi. He felt a bit at a loss for words. "Morning," he greeted.
"Good morning," Bing Shi chuckled at the cute boy in a body of a thirty plus years old man, "Did you sleep well?"
Ziek removed his hoodie, revealing his dark circles and bloodshot eyes. "What do these look like to you?" he quipped, a hint of exhaustion in his voice.
