Easton ventured deep inside the forest along with Luna and Zelda.
Easton's face was filled with smiles as he kept looking at the system space with a grin.
Along the way, they encountered five shadow beasts in total. They all had strength similar to iron-grade warriors, but Luna solved them quickly.
In the end, He collected precious materials from the shadow beast like shadow fang, dark core, fur, etc.
"Shadow fangs can be used to make hidden weapons, and each one of them could be sold for three to five gold coins."
"Darkcore is a precious alchemy material, and its market price is 20 gold coins."
"Adding the price of other materials like fur bones and meat. I can earn 30 gold coins from one shadow beast."
"Luna has killed five such shadow beasts in total, So in these few minutes, I have earned 150 gold coins."
"Healing her was indeed a good decision. With a silver grade warrior with me, it's not a problem to earn gold coins."
Easton thought to himself excitedly as he counted the gold coins he had earned in the past hour.
If they continue to work like this, it's not a problem to earn a thousand gold coins in one day.
It's just with Luna; he never got a chance to fight. She kills every opponent in one slash.
Easton and Zelda never got a chance to fight a beast.
Both of them only cleared the battlefield and collected the spoils.
There is one more thing Luna has been quiet about since the last incident. She seemed to deliberately ignored Easton and only talked with Zelda.
Easton knew she was angry because of his previous behavior, but he was not very worried about it.
As he only needed some time alone to make up things with her.
"It's already evening!" Luna looked at the setting sun and said, "Do you want to go back? Or camp in the wild?"
"Let's camp in the wild. It's not safe to travel in the forest at night." Easton thought for a second and made a decision.
It's a three hours journey back to the town.
So it's better to stay here for one night and continue with the hunting tomorrow.
"Okay!" Luna just said one word, and then they started to look for a safe place to spend the night.
…..
After a half-hour of searching, they finally found a safe place for camping.
While trekking, they found a cave hidden behind vines. The den is spacious enough for the three of them to rest, and it's pretty hidden, so the beast should not be able to find this place.
Nonetheless, for safety purposes, Easton dug out a few traps around the cave.
On the other hand, Luna and Zelda searched the cave to find any traces of a beast.
"Easton, This should be an unoccupied cave as no traces of animals or humans were found inside." Zelda came outside and informed Easton, who was making traps.
"That's good!" Easton covered the pit with leaves and vines and answered Zelda.
After doing this, he walked inside the cave along with Zelda. Inside, Luna has taken out a luminous pearl to illuminate the dark cave.
After Easton entered, Luna looked at him for a second and elsewhere.
"Easton, Let's eat dinner." Zelda handed him a few dry rations, which were prepared beforehand.
"Thank you!" Easton thanked Zelda and ate the dry ration.
The dinner time was reasonably uneventful as they all were pretty tired after a long day.
After finishing the dinner, Easton proposes to stay up at night for a vigil while Zelda and Luna can sleep.
He does this because Luna is the main fighting force, and he can't bear to let Zelda stay up at night for a vigil.
Zelda and Luna opposed his decision, but Easton's attitude was firm, so they could only follow.his decision.
….
Yawn!
Easton yawned while sitting near the luminous pearl. Zelda and Luna are already sleeping, and he is feeling bored.
"Few more days, I will find an alternative method to earn gold coins…." Easton muttered to himself.
Earning through hunting is not very easy.
"Don't put pressure on yourself; it will only worsen things."
At this time, he heard Luna's voice and looked over. Luna stood up from the ground and walked toward him, and sat beside him.
"You are not angry now?" Easton looked at Luna and teased her with a smile.
"Humph! You dare to mention it." Luna ground her teeth in anger after hearing Easton.
She came here to talk with Easton, but he had to annoy her deliberately.
"Good night! I am going." Luna stood up in anger as she didn't want to talk with him now.
"Slow down! Don't be in such a hurry." Easton chuckled and held her hands. He was preventing her from leaving.
"I am sorry, Okay? I will not do that in front of Zelda." Easton held her hands and promised.
Luna didn't try to struggle free from his grasp and said with a sneer, "Don't play those word games with me. You will not do it in front of Zelda, So you mean that you will do it when Zelda is not present!?"
"Yes, You guessed it right." Easton was not embarrassed after Luna found out about this and agreed readily.
"Dream on! Like I would allow you to do it. If you try to do something shameless, then…."
"Then what?" Easton bowed his head so their faces were a few centimeters apart and asked.
"Try it, and you will know." Luna sneered and looked at Easton and said fearlessly, but those red ears betrayed her.
"That's what you said." Easton chuckled and bowed his head, sealing Luna's lips.
"Ummmm…."
Luna's eyes went wide in shock as her mind was blank due to Easton's bold move.
