Chapter 65: Chapter 65

"Tenku Okuihara..." Setsuka said softly the name of the boy who held her hand tightly when she fell into the pit and had saved her life again for the umpteenth time.

"Argh!" Tenku groaned in pain. Upon hearing that voice, Setsuka quickly realized he was holding her hand with his injured shoulder.

"Let go of my hand! You don't have to do this! We've only known each other for a few days! So you don't have to save me!" Setsuka raised her voice and tried to free her hand from Tenku, but the other party gripped it tightly.

Not long after, Setsuka felt drops of liquid on her face and wet her hands. Her body trembled, and her chest ached when she saw blood flowing from Tenku's hand.

The blood came from a wound on Tenku's shoulder after saving Setsuka from a cactus golem attack, and he still hasn't received treatment until now. Due to the great pressure on his hand, the wound became even more severe and painful.
