Although the journey through the desert was long and hot, researchers and tourists were fine with the help of the Master of the Desert.
After two days of travel, the group arrived at the midpoint of the desert. As expected, from their current place, not a single soul was visible in the sandy soil.
By then, dusk was about to set so they decided to stop at a half-broken shelter. Fortunately, it was still good enough for them to stay over.
“I want to know how the man is doing.. Do you think he's back in town.?” muttered Giya while sitting beside the fireplace, thinking of the man who had saved her.
"I doubt that. He doesn't seem like that kind of man! The way he presents himself, he is mature and reliable! Actually, wait... Why do you keep thinking about it? Didn't you say that you love Gerald…? Could it be that you are obsessed with her because she looks alike, and reminds you of Gerald.?” meredith replied in a somewhat displeased tone. The way he said it, it was as if Meredith could see right through Giya.
"What's? Nah! I'm just worried because he did save our lives! Besides, aren't you constantly thinking about it as well, Meredith? ” Giya said with a smile.
“Yes, I admit that I like adults.. He really fits in with the duties in that department! Moreover, her eyes showed that many stories were hidden behind it. She was the mysterious type of boyfriend that I wanted to have!” meredith answered without hesitation.
“Is....it an indirect way to say that you like it..?” giya asked, her curiosity piqued.
“Yah... I don't know, okay? I mean, I can't stop thinking about him! I really want to see her again, you know?” meredith replied while cupping her hands on her cheeks while looking up at the sky.
Hearing that, Giya also looked at the sky in silence.
'Same here..I also really want to see him again!' Giya thought in her heart.
A moment later, Wynn walked towards them before saying, “Giya? Meredith's? What are you two doing? Here, drink some hot water. Once the sun goes down, things will get really cold here!”
"It's okay, I'm not thirsty!" giya replied as she shook her head, knowing very well what she was doing.
Despite his constant attempts to seduce her, Giya knows that it is impossible for them to be together. As a result, the more she did for him, the more she felt guilty about it.
“Well, if that's the case, why not come and listen to the story of Master of the Desert? So far, all the stories are pretty scary!” wynn Suggestions.
He then pointed to the professor before adding, “See, even Professor Yale is interested in the story! Come on!"
Hearing that, both Giya and Meredith exchanged glances. Since they are here as reporters and they need to write articles once they return, perhaps listening to an interesting story or two will help them write.
With that in mind, the two girls then rejoined the crowd that was listening to the story of the Master of the Desert. The story itself was carried by 'Capra's Nanny Legend, ' and the bearded man made sure to use his most serious tone while sharing the story.
Basically, the story was about an old grandmother living in the desert. No one knew if he was a human or a ghost, but the important thing was for food, he sucked human blood to dry! In fact, all the previous murders could have been committed by Capra Nanny! Not only was he terrifying, but he was also extremely strong and bullet resistant. No one could dream of killing him, and some accounts even say that any normal person who saw him would die on the spot!
“...Is he really that scary…? If something like that was really out there, then it would have been published by now!” muttered one of the people who swarmed in front of the Master of the Desert. Many others, however, remained silent, feeling very frightened by the story.
“But of course, he! I'll tell you something more surprising! Capra Nanny really exists, and I've seen it with my own eyes!” whispered Lord of the Desert.
As the chill struck almost everyone, Professor Yale simply laughed before saying, “You are truly a great comedian, Master of the Desert! Don't scare the kids too much!”
“But I'm not kidding! I really saw it before! I was only seven years old back then and I saw it when I followed my father into the desert!” replied the bearded man in a serious tone, a hint of fear in his voice.
Seeing how serious the expression of the Master of the Desert was, not even the Professor could resist his laughter.
