Ivan wanted to remove his shirt and see what happened to the wound on his back, which had only stopped bleeding but not fully healed.

Ivan was sure it should be healed because of the Light healing. That's because he stopped feeling even a tiny bit of pain on his back.

Magic sure is interesting.

Naina had to use four points of mana to utilize that light magic spell.

"Thank you!" Ivan said after he stopped feeling any discomfort inside his body.

"Don't mention it! You also saved me from falling from the cliff... only to jump again." Naina's voice when she said the last four words were too low to be heard by Ivan.

"Come again?"

"Ah, nothing, I also wanted to say thank you for saving me," Naina became flustered. But seeing that the young man had not heard her, she felt relieved.

"Are you really not a Bandit?"

"Didn't I say that to you before? I was also captured some weeks ago by them. The bandits thought I died, so two of them picked my body to dispose of my corpse in a cave inside that tunnel you first saw me standing outside of. I just used an opportunity to knock the bandits out when they came back again and wore one of their clothes to escape. Everything after that happened in front of you, so you should be familiar with the story." Ivan explained, trying to get rid of any confusion between them, so there's no misunderstanding. It's better to be safe than sorry.

"I'm sorry. I thought you were one of them... That's why you weren't making an effort to catch me." Naina said after finally understanding the whole gist of the event.

"By the way, my name is Naina Wheelbarrow." Naina greeted as she bowed her head slightly in greeting formally.

"Ivan Jeager! Nice to meet you!" Ivan greeted back casually. Talking with people made him not think about his transmigration. He was still trying to adjust to this world; getting back to his usual self would need some time.

Naina was surprised to see his casual attitude when greeting.

"What?" Ivan asked when he saw the look of confusion on her face.

"Nothing." Naina didn't know if she should ask or not. He had a last name, which means he is either the son of a Noble or a knight or a family who had just fallen down and became freemen. But why didn't he follow the ethics of greeting? Is he the black seed of family or just illiterate.

Ivan thought they might have to sleep on the tree under his ass for the whole night or at least till the wolf does not leave.

With nothing to do, Ivan finally checked the store, which was right beside the inventory.

When Ivan opened it, a long list appeared with some pictures of the product right beside it.

The list was group into different classification. Weapons, Spells, Battle skills, Clothes, Potion, and everything you could think, the index had it all. Of course, it did not sell any spacecraft or a gun or things well ahead of this medieval world.

Ivan had thirty-four copper coins with him. He checked the list to find something which can help him kill or scare away the wolf.

Ivan had a bow, but he didn't know how to use it. Also, he wasn't in a comfortable position to fire the bow, nor was he confident in hitting his target.

"Luma Curatio~!" Naina whispered in a low voice and used the Light healing spell on herself.

Ivan saw her health points rising from seventeen to twenty, which was the cap of her health points.

Naina felt uncomfortable being stared at continuously by a man, and Ivan became aware of it too, so he closed his eyes to rest.

"Um... Are you fine? I mean, I'm sitting on your lap. Your legs must be hurting." Naina asked after sitting for a while. She asked not only for Ivan's sake but also for herself. No women would want to keep sitting on a stranger man's lap that they only know by name and met not long ago.

"It is indeed uncomfortable for me, and I understand its also uncomfortable for you, but there's no space for two people to sit side by side. If you want, you can rest your head on my shoulder to sleep. I will stay awake, so we don't fall off the tree branch. Please, bear with it for tonight or at least till the wolf goes away. I will find another place for us to rest." Ivan said after opening his eyes. Sleeping on the tree is very unbearable, but he can't do anything to remedy their situation.

The store had some ropes and also tents, but that's only to be installed on the ground and not on a branch of a tree.

Naina nodded in understanding. She hesitated but then rested her head on Ivan's right shoulder.

The sound of Ivan's heartbeat worked like a lullaby. Naina's eyes dropped down; she fell to sleep after some ten minutes. Ivan would have been happy to be in a situation like this with a woman if it was back on earth. But now, he had to stay awake because if fall asleep, then he might lose balance dropdown with Naina, and become a food falling down from the sky.

After half an hour, the system suddenly rang with a chime, and a string of texts appeared before Ivan's drooping eyes.

Chime!

All the drowsiness vanished from Ivan's eyes. When he read the description of the Quest Board, Ivan became happy seeing the reward list.

'Hmph, why do you care if I flirt with girls or not? I will do what I want to do with my life. As for completing the mission, if it's doable, then I have no problem, but if it's against my conscience, then you can't force me even if I have to face punishment for it.' Ivan thought in his mind.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice spoke in Ivan's ears.

<< Host need not worry. All Quests given by the system are well within the limits of the Host ability. Please give your all in every mission because the rewards for completing the Quests depend upon Host efforts, wits, and some other small factors. With an excellent or perfect rating, Host can get much better rewards. If the Host does not complete the mission on time, the Host will have to face the consequences. >>

Ivan: "OoO...You can speak?"

He felt the system was making the famous 'Dab' pose after all that long speech about being fair and all.
