The soldiers, who had been visiting the mountainous village for a long time to occasionally check on the security, were from the border areas.
The more rugged the mountains, the more suitable they were for dangerous criminals to hide, so the villagers welcomed the soldiers’ visits.
The problem was Sharati.
‘Just at this time.’
Sharati glanced at the household mana stone she was holding in her hand.
‘The mana left in it is running low.’
The mana stone, once as big as her face, was now only the size of Tein’s palm. It was inevitable that its size decreased with use.
Initially, she intended to buy just a mana charger, but now she needed to purchase a new mana stone too. Remembering the faster-than-expected depletion of her current mana stone, Sharati sighed deeply.
‘I should start preparing proper meals too.’
Normally, her supplies would have lasted another week, but circumstances had changed.
With the unidentified patient she had taken in, she now had to prepare meals for two instead of one. Until now, she had been feeding him a patient’s diet, but considering his fast healing, he would need proper meals going forward.
‘I should have bought it in advance.’
Unfortunately, her need to shop coincided with the soldiers’ visit to the village.
Traumatized by armed people, Sharati, who always avoided them, found herself in a doubly difficult situation.
‘Let’s feed him soup for today.’
Putting aside her worries for a moment, Sharati headed straight to the back of the log house.
There, she found the small garden she had cultivated with great effort.
‘It won’t last long either.’
It was already autumn.
And before she knew it, winter would arrive, rapidly changing the seasons.
Food was an essential issue, but for now, Sharati harvested what she could for the day: two carrots and two potatoes.
‘…Should I dig up one more?’
Thinking of the large build of the patient in the cave, Sharati hesitated before digging up one more potato.
She entered the house, placing the vegetables in the kitchen.
The kitchen was a cramped space, with just a cupboard, a cutting board, and a knife on the table.
‘Let’s hurry.’
She chopped the vegetables and herbs together.
After chopping the ingredients, Sharati hit the red mana stone on the table a few times.
‘Please, let this work.’
Fortunately, the mana stone’s symbols brightened and began to heat up.
Sharati quickly placed the stone under the pot.
‘The heat is weak, but it should be enough.’
Adding herbs to the bland soup soon brought out a savory aroma.
However, Sharati’s cooking was always more about health than taste.
Just as she was about to lift the pot, it happened.
‘…!’
There was a snap, and the mana stone broke in two, ending its lifespan.
‘…At least I got through today.’
Sharati thought positively.
Of course, considering the situation in the village and her financial status, it wasn’t very hopeful.
‘Bandages and ointment… And I remembered the spoon, right?’
Having finished preparing to go out, Sharati left the house.
‘I need to get there before it cools down.’
She wanted to feed him warm soup if possible.
The cave was cool, and she had only covered the patient with a thick blanket, so Sharati hurried along the rugged mountain path, familiarly navigating the barely-there trail.
‘…Hmm?’
Upon reaching her destination, Sharati paused for a moment and examined the area around the cave.
The herbs she had scattered on the ground to prevent wild animals from approaching looked unusually disturbed.
‘Was it the wind?’
The herbs seemed more scattered than before she left, making Sharati feel uneasy.
Pondering, she entered the cave.
‘…Could he have woken up?’
Not taking any chances, she grabbed a long staff and walked deeper inside.
Drip…. Drip…. The sound of water droplets echoed quietly in the cave.
As she approached, the tension eased abruptly; the man lying on the bed was still in a deep sleep.
His improved complexion was also noticeable.
Color. Vitality. Heat. Approaching the man to check his temperature, the steady rhythm of his breathing was heard.
‘…Hmm. Maybe I was too sensitive.’
Sharati let out a sigh of relief and set down the long staff. Quietly approaching the bed, she began to unwrap the bandages.
She checked the man’s abdominal and thigh wounds, which had been the most severe.
‘This will take a bit more time.’
The deep wounds that had been perilously close to critical had been slow to heal.
Still, with the man’s healing ability, Sharati was confident that a week would be sufficient for recovery.
‘A week.’
She planned to discontinue her visits once he was mobile enough to move around safely.
Sharati waved her hand in front of the man’s face to check his consciousness.
He remained motionless. Even when she touched his body to rewrap the bandages, there was no response.
‘My heart is racing.’
Despite the necessity for safe treatment, her conscience pricked her for continuously keeping him asleep.
But it was better than him being conscious and agitated.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
