"F-F*ck… that was exhausting…"
Night had already passed, and the sun was on the rise by the time Hal finished tapping the [Draw Card] button.
'Why doesn't it have a function that lets me draw ten cards at once? Wouldn't that be better for efficiency?' Hal mused as he climbed down, heading back to Root Hollow Camp.
Meanwhile, inside the root hollow, Liora and Loki sat side by side, the atmosphere somber and heavy.
The pup sensed something a moment later, its head and ears perking up.
Then, with sudden excitement, Loki dashed out of the hollow, leaving the depressed Liora confused for a moment before realization struck.
She hurried out after the pup, clumsily but quickly.
Sure enough, just a few dozen meters away from the hollow stood the young man she had feared lost to the night, carrying the relieved cub with a smile while being assaulted with a flurry of kisses.
