Chapter 55: Grilled fish with seasoning

Hearing his words. She bit her lips. She was mad at him.

"Nevermind. I don't care if you had lost your memory or not," she told him as she turned her back on him.

But her mad voice had a tinge of sadness in it.

He noticed her slowly moving. He quickly turned around to see her. He saw her back moving away from him.

"Wait!" he called her before she left. Even though he doesn't know her, he felt like he knows her for long.

His voices reverberated in her ears. She bit her lips and stopped her step, "what?" asking him without turning her back away.

Yeman had not prepared himself for this. He called her in out of reflex only. And did not think what to say next.

He was speechless for a moment. Then pondered what he would be going to say. He noticed her knitted her brows. He opened his mouth not sure of what to say.

"I-If...you want to eat fish... I can share some with you..." |Shit! Why do I feel perplexed? It wasn't good. I had to control myself.|

|Wait. Based on the way she talked, it might be possible that this girl and the previous host have some deep connection with each other. In that case, did this body reacted after seeing her? Don't tell me the previous owner still have a significance left in this body? I won't let it! This body belongs to me now! (Yeman exclaimed while glinting his eyes.) But, first thing first, I had to ask something on this girl.|

"....."

He noticed her silence.

"The truth is, I learned this new technique of cooking a fish...so, I wanted you to judge the taste of it," he said while scratching his face and darted his eyes from left to right.

"Uhm, that is...if it is fine with you, if not... Then, it can't be helped," he added.

She glanced at him.

"...okay," she nodded and walked towards him, and sat 3 meters away from him.

"Ahaha, thank you," he giggled.

|Now the problem is...no one biting my bait!|

She was silent waiting for him to catch a fish. She was wondering why she agreed to him.

Even though she already had decided to herself that she would forget him. That she won't forgive him.

But here she was, silently sitting beside him. Near the swamp just the two of them.

Hannah secretly took a glance at him. He somehow did not bother her anymore. Or maybe she was right after all. That he just playing at her from the beginning. That he was using her for his benefits.

Hah~ she sighed inwardly.

In Hannah's mind, she kept telling herself to just leave here. But why? Her heart won't let her move an inch.

She hugged her flawless white knees. Her golden hair slowly hovered in the air as the morning breeze embraces her pretty face.

Yeman, however, was anxiously waiting for the fishes to bit his bait.

But unfortunately, no one was biting on it.

|Where the fishes go and why they did not bite?|

He glanced at her and thought that this girl was pretty indeed.

Her fragrance that was carried by the morning breeze towards him smells familiar to him. Yeman felt a goosebump after realizing how his body reaction was too strong that he could not even control it.

He questioned himself if he was not in full control of this body. It looks like he was right after all.

Though the girl beside him was too pretty, he knew that what he felt at the moment was not his own feeling. It might be from that guy.

Hannah knitted her brows. She noticed that almost 15 minutes had past but the guy beside him still caught nothing.

"I-I think your still the same as before, " she suddenly said.

"Uh? Can you tell me how... I am the same?" He asked her curiously. Cause Yeman knows that he was not the same with that guy.

"Your bad luck in fishing," she said straightforwardly.

After saying this, some memory from the past appeared in her mind. This kind of memory was what Hannah wanted to forget.

|What? Is that some kind of buff? That guy has that kind of talent?| Yeman was surprised by what she had said.

"In that case, no choice, huh," he said then put down the fishing rod.

Seeing this, Hannah sighed. She thought that the guy with her had given up fishing. Well, that was good for her. She certainly wanted to leave and distance herself from him.

But unfortunately for Hannah, her thinking was proven wrong.

Yeman took the gloves on his left hand. He was wearing it because he could not properly control the skill in this hand. Sometimes it unconsciously activated.

So he decided to wear a glove in it.

Hannah just staring at him took his glove on the left hand, and then dove it into the swamp.

Yeman slowly spread his palm. Some tiny pieces of meat sunk deeper into the swamp. He bought this in his market.

Seconds later, he noticed some fishes aggressively biting on it.

One after another came rushing towards the bait that he released.

With a smirk on his mouth, he mumbled.

Stun Finger!

An electrifying sound that was unnoticeable by others reached his ears.

Second later,

Fishes of different sizes floating on the swamp surface.

Hannah stared dumbfounded at the sight.

She was wondering what he did. Why the fishes suddenly floated? Though they look alive, they seemed could not move.

"See?! I'm not that bad at fishing right?" He arrogantly said at her.

"....."

She fell silent.

Later, Yeman gathered all the fishes that floated.

He caught about 50+ fishes. Not just that, system notification was unceasing in his vision.

He received exp and soul points after killing them.

Looks like killing fishes could be considered like killing monsters as well.

Every fish gave him 100 exp and 50 soul points. Not so high but, he was happy to discover it.

He then grilled the fish after cleaning them. And bought some seasonings from his market.

She wanted to help. But he said no need. Since the one who invited her, he had to take care of all the chores.

She was silently staring at him. Cleaning the fishes, make a fire, then, grilled them.

Hannah's nose twitched as it caught the delicious smell from the grilled fishes.

Minutes later.

Hannah couldn't stop herself from gulping, while her stomach started to grumble. She felt ashamed.

She hoped that he didn't notice it.

At the first taste of the grilled fish, Hannah's eyes widened.

"D-delicious!" She exclaimed.

Not just that, she felt her strength went up. Every bit of the grilled fish, she felt stronger.

Yeman was dumbfounded staring at the green bar above her head. The number was increasing every time she bit his grilled fish with seasonings.

Hannah noticed his funny reaction.

She was surprised to know this side of him.

For some reason, she misses this get together for the two of them. Hannah unconsciously bit her lips.

A tear planned to escape at the corner of her eyes. But she had to hold on. She could not let herself be fooled again by this guy with her.

After all...he was the guy that she loves the most, the same guy who hurt her the most, and he was the guy who raped her 14 years old cousin.

After they finished eating, Hannah went back first.

But Yeman noticed some eyes, fixedly staring at them while they were eating.

The carriages finally arrived that noon. And now they were traveling back to the main city of the empire.
