章 167: Don't forget your reward, please! part 1

The sound of heavy rain woke up Ryu early in the morning. The first thing he noticed after being able to open his eyes was the warmth of two girls sleeping besides him and the fact that he was completely healed. Since it was still dark Ryu checked his soulbound card to confirm his skills and found something that filled him with joy.

A small ray of sun just broke through the mountain revealing the makeshift camp that was set next to the incipient lake that was reforming with the help of both the waterfall and the rain.

Ryu got up doing his best not to wake Sera and Anne who were still sleeping on each side of his cramped tent. There was no hope of setting up a campfire with the amount of rain that was pouring down, but the fresh air he was able to breathe now felt like nature's way of apologizing for his terrible experience the day before.
