Chapter 149

"Was you really this hungry?"

"I don't know, but when I meet food made from these monsters' meat and bones I can't hold myself back."

"That's weird."

"Is this your first time eating this kind of food?"

Ibro noticed the appearance of Moran. Was he here all the time spying in him? Ibro didn't bother actually with that and said in reply while eating from a new dish:

"Yes, back in my home I didn't eat a single meal like this."

"Aha, you have the first meal syndrome then."

Ibro didn't stop eating while he asked:

"Is this syndrome serious?"

"No, it's just your body is in deep need for this kind of food. You must have felt the energy hidden deep in each meal. This energy gets absorbed by your body. This is why when you face a meal like this you can't hold yourself back. It's your body instinct that drives you to do this."

"You mean the legendary first meal syndrome?"

"Yes my sis, it's this syndrome."

Ibro didn't stop eating while commenting:

"Is this really serious?"

"No, it's not serious, it's a blessing. It's called legendary as it's not common to be seen especially for everyone who was born in our world. We are raised on eating such meals so we never had such a condition."

Ibro ate again from another dish while asking:

"Is it serious?"

"Why are you asking the same question again and again? No, this is not serious at all. Your body will get stronger meal after meal. But this is only for a limited time after that your body will get adapted to these meals and you won't have this feeling again."

Ibro felt he had his full so he stopped eating and looked at Noda while asking in a serious tone:

"Is this re… sorry don't hit me, I was teasing you. Ok, I want to know how long I have till this weird syndrome disappears."

This time the angry Noda didn't answer him but her brother did.

"It differs from one person to another.

Some people would lose it in less than one week. Others may have it for even months before they lose it. The rule is that no one can keep it forever. So treasure this chance and eat a lot. The higher the monsters' levels in the meal are, the higher the benefit you will get."

Ibro thought about the feeling he always had when he ate any of the meals since he came to this world. He really liked this feeling of energy moving from the meals into his body. Although he didn't understand it before and still couldn't fully comprehend it he didn't want to lose such a feeling.

"Is there a way for me to keep this syndrome forever?"

"Nope, there is none."

Ibro felt disappointed a little bit.

"Can I ask you for something?"

"Tell me what you need."

Ibro wasn't a fool. All this new treatment for him was sure to ask a favor from him. He thought about his runes, would she ask for more rune supply?

He provided her with these runes as part of a deal with her brother. He also felt some faint sympathy with her. After all, she was forced to play here without any choice. Noda exchanged looks with her brother who sighed and then said:

"My sister wants to ask you to visit her frequently after you return to your village."

"What?!"

Ibro felt shocked by what he heard. He didn't even see that coming. He thought that she would ask for many things, even asking for him to stay longer here.

He never thought she would ask for something like this. He looked at her to see a faint blush on her face. Was she forced or that was her real deep desire? He couldn't know the truth for now but he answered none the less:

"I already have no way to come here. How can I come here then?"

He didn't tell them about his ability to move here at will.

He felt he needed to keep this info hidden, not from her but from that mean brother. The less he knew the more secure Ibro would feel.

"Don't worry about that. I got a special item here. It can link two places together so you can move back and forth between here and your village."

"You mean like a teleportation channel?"

"Something like it but it's only between two places"

Ibro felt this older brother of hers wasn't simple at all. How would someone who was competing for the throne of a huge empire be a simple guy?

"No problem for me. When can I go back to my village then?"

"Oh, you want to leave so soon. Don't you want to wait till you get your pure coins? Don't you want to wait until my sister finishes her war? Are you not worried at all about her?"

Ibro noticed more blush over her face. This teasing nature wasn't exclusive then on this little gang, it actually ran in the blood of the family. Ibro smiled and answered diplomatically:

"Did you forget? There will be already a constant bridge linking between our two villages. I will come and visit her so often. She is also more welcomed to come and visit my village anytime she wants. It's not like I'm abandoning her."

He noticed the shining eyes of her when she heard his reply. Her eyes were like a galaxy, full of all bright colored stars. He smiled feeling some happiness inside him.

Moran also smiled, he finally managed to get his sis be linked to such a promising man. He didn't do this for his own selfish desires, but deep inside him, he was very worried about his sister.

Now he could feel more secure over her. He hoped the two of them could go further on their relationship. He didn't feel confident about his ability to shield his sister in the near future. He really hoped that the newcomer would meet his expectations.

"Alright, then I can give you this bridge. This bridge is a special item that can link two places permanently. Its strongest feature is that it didn't put any limit to those who use it.

Thus, you can both send armies back and forth without any worry. It only used a certain type of ore as a fuel to work. This ore might be rare in your baby world, so I prepared a stock of this ore and I will leave it with you Ibro. I hope you come and pay my sister a visit all the time."

Ibro smiled and didn't respond to this brother teasing. He knew how this brother would send this item and these ores to him. He looked at Noda who took out a small ring and gave it to him.

Ibro looked into the ring and found a small bridge which had two ends masked with two thick clouds. It had a very special appearance and Ibro felt how unusual it was.

Beside that, he noticed mountains of ores. He didn't know why but when he saw these ores he recalled his class as runemaster. Was this brother's intention to give him a push on his class and made him manufacture more runes to be sold?

He looked at this innocent calm face of Moran to believe more in this probability. This means a brother would never do something without profit.

Was this the reason why he was trying to make him visit his sister a lot? Despite that, Ibro didn't refuse this gift. He really needed all types of ores to make runes.

He put the ring on his hand and then looked at Noda and asked:

"I want to ask you about someone in your village."
