ME 20 Stricken With Food

Ellie protested after hearing Matthew. “What? Can't be Matthew. That's very painful. After teleporting I immediately vomited my food. You have the heart of Matthew.”

“You don't feel how miserable I feel when I spit out all that food, do you? So, don't make decisions as you please.” Ellie Protest.

Matthew did not expect his usually obedient sister to suddenly protest like that. As Matthew recalled this was the first time Ellie had vomited to such a severe extent like this. From the time they were little until now, Ellie had never felt any pain.

So, experiencing something like this seems pretty hard for Ellie. He no longer felt that kind of vomiting. Matthew also just remembered that the mental property of his sister is only the mental owned by a ten-year-old child.

Moreover, all this time their parents protected the three of them from the threat of danger. These two Matthew sisters never even felt that his name was at the bottom.

It was very different with Matthew. He is someone who is reborn. He had experienced thirty years of life before finally dying and being reborn into this world.

For him to feel the pain for a while to finally be happy is a common thing to do. If you want to live comfortably, you have to sacrifice. Whether it is time, energy or even money. If not you, then there will be others who sacrifice for the comfort of your life.

Like parents for example. They always make sacrifices to provide the most comfortable life for their children. No matter what it is they will sacrifice. Even if it is life.

…

Matthew placed his hand on Ellie's shoulder. He hugged his sister and stroked her back slowly. Matthew hopes that Ellie will feel better.

“You have patience Ellie. After this you can rest. If we walk, we spend our time. Those people could at any time manage to catch up to us if we didn't hurry. As long as they are in a chaotic state, we better go as far as possible. That way they won't suspect us.”

“Although we look much older with our current appearance, we cannot relax and lower our vigilance. We don't know how they communicate with each other. So it could be that information about us has been circulated to other members of the organization.”

“With us going from Morento Forest we will be in the territory of another kingdom. I'm sure with us once we can find an alibi about identity if we meet someone. If someone finds us here, let alone that person is a member of that organination, then even if our face changes they will know that it is us.” Matthew is obviously at length.

John nodded his head at Matthew's explanation. He gave a thumbs up for the analysis Matthew gave. By providing some information, the boy was able to deduce everything. John believes he has the talent to be a leader.

Perhaps the blood of the Dawanson family was more domineering than the blood of the Deluce family. John believes he has this intelligence down from General Arnold Dawnson's father to Albert. General Arnold knows his war strategies.

What General Arnold feared was not his fighting ability, but his strategic ability. There are still many other generals who can defeat General Arnold in fighting, but not many can beat his artificial strategy.

“Listen to your brother's explanation. You just have to be tormented once more. After this you can eat as much as you can and rest. I can't wait to eat the grilled meat from the tavern in the village. They have a pretty good grilled meat.”

A week ago John stopped in the village. He ordered food at one of the shops there. He had not expected to find such a delicious meal in the small village. He remembered the taste of the meat.

The meat is very soft and the right flavor adds to the delicacy of the grilled meat. Although the meat came from silver-level monsters, it did not reduce its delicacy.

John was eager to find out what spices the store owner used to cook the meat. Maybe he could buy some of that spice. At least he will not eat meat with a tasteless taste like before.

“Trust me, they have a very delicious meal. I'm sure you'll like it. I just can't wait to taste it back.”

“Really?” Ask Jasper excitedly.

Previously he had only been a listener when Ellie complained to Matthew. He could not give any response. On the one hand, he had the same thought as Ellie. On the other hand, the thought of Matthew, their eldest brother was always right. So Jasper just listened.

Now he will stand by Matthew's choice. This is because of John's words. If there was any food that would compensate for the suffering Jasper felt while teleporting, perhaps this small affliction was fine for Jasper.

“You didn't lie to me didn't you?” Jasper asked while looking intently at John. The boy still did not fully believe in John. So, he wanted to reassure John.

“Of course not. I wouldn't cheat you if it was good food. So how? Do you still want to keep walking or teleport?” ask John.

“Ellie, right Matthew said earlier. We have to get out of here to eat meat immediately. Ah, I don't mean to immediately avoid the pursuit of people from the dark organization. So, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little more.”

When he said that, Jasper was seen putting on a serious face. If Jasper had not asked John about grilled meat, and had spoken wrongly before, then the present Jasper would have looked like a wise man.

Unfortunately it didn't happen. His tongue that had swept his lips several times could not lie that Jasper was eager to taste the grilled meat in the tavern that John was telling him about. In fact, Matthew could see Jasper's saliva flowing from the corner of his lips.

At Jasper's persuasion, and because Ellie herself was also intrigued by the taste of the grilled meat John was telling her, Ellie finally agreed to teleport again.

“Alright I will follow your advice to teleport. I hope you keep your promise to find us good food after this Grandpa John. If the food you told me about doesn't exist, then I'm going to complain to my mom.” Said Ellie who could not cover the binary in her eyes.

The aversion that Ellie had felt before, seemed to just disappear. Seeing Ellie who could be persuaded by food alone made Matthew shake his head. He did not expect his sister would be “semurah” this. Matthew thought it was necessary to give long stretches to persuade Ellie. Turns out…
