My Bothersome Life 71 The Way Back 1

I turned to my side to find Charles sleeping beside me with his complexion much better than before also covered by the same blanket.

We made it to the tents. We were able to make it!

"You're awake!" A girl that was of a similar age as us came into the tent looking shocked.

She wore animal skin and furs. Her necklace looked like it was made of bones of a large animal and her dagger likewise that was tucked into her leather boots.

"Did you bring us here?" I asked.

There was no way Charles had enough energy to bring the both of us here when he looked like he was going pass out at any moment.

"The boy came here with you in his arms begging us to let you two stay for the night." The girl replied grimly.

"We normally don't take in strangers but the elder couldn't leave two children alone where one was already passed out and another was about to be the same as the girl" The girl continued.

"Thank you, although we don't have a way to repay you back."

This was where my natural elegant speaking came in from the constant lessons from chatting with the elites in school and fierce scoldings from Luke.

"Where do you come from? Your clothing looks very unusual compared to others in this region."

I knew the first district had strict protocols to prevent foreign things becoming known in lesser developed districts as it will affect the development and environment of the other districts.

Normally, the act of having amnesia worked in light novels as a starting point. "That's the thing, when I woke up, I found myself walking to these sets of tents alongside my acquaintance beside me. I don't really remember where I came from before I found myself in this winter landscape." I tried to explain.

"The way you talk reminds me of the people who come to the villages once a month with new goods to trade." The girl said with hints of suspicion.

"Maybe we got separated? When do they come to the village this month?" I asked with desperation.

"Three days from today. The elder did think you two were related to them in some way. This was why the boy begged for a place for the both of you to stay for the next few days. I have errands to do now so I'll come back to bring dinner at sunset" The girl tried to close the conversation while leaving the tent.

When I removed myself from the blanket, I found myself wearing thick brown animal skin that resembled a dress.

Since Charles was still sleeping, I opened the dimensional library to find a book about the sixth district in more detail.

[The current state of the sixth district is that people from the up to the third district go to monitor the sixth district in a separate region to observe the current progress of the civilization. To observe the barely established villages, the people of the other districts disguise themselves as travelling merchants]

Great! So I can just meet the people from the other district three days from now and go back to the first district.

I passed my time until the sun was starting to set by reading the book about the sixth district. However, it was strange how Charles still hasn't woken up.

He didn't look like he had a cold as his complexion was back to his former glory and his dark circles disappeared.

"Charles." I whispered.

When he didn't respond, I shook him and talked louder, "Charles!".

Now I knew there was something wrong with him. Maybe I should use [heal], although it would be almost ineffective.

[Heal] was a spell that consumed a huge amount of mana. Most people in the first district were only taught about it but unable to use it. Even if I had an unlimited amount of mana, it would consume about half of my mana and I would be unable to use mana for the rest of the day. Recovering back the other half of my mana would take about a month as well. So it was best to rely on the advanced medical care in the first district rather than using the spell.

However, it was either use [heal] on Charles and discuss our next moves or leave him here until he recovers.

From what I read in my vast collections in anime, manga, and light novels, the girl seemed a bit suspicious when she looked shocked when I woke up.

I couldn't abandon Charles as he used up all his energy in trying to bring me here.

[Heal] I chanted.

Wake up Charles! I poured my vast mana into Charles' body. Work!

I grunted as I felt my energy leaving me with my remaining mana. When I was about to give up, Charles faintly stirred. This gave me the motivation to keep on pouring more mana into Charles.

Strangely, as I poured more mana into Charles, his hair was starting to resemble more of the shades of my gradient red hair rather than his shiny umber hair.

When Charles finally opened his eyes, the colour of his hair was between the shade of umber and gradient red.

I stopped pouring my mana into Charles in surprise as Charles shook my shoulders aggressively in a alert state as he soon as he got up.

"We have to run Rika" Charles sternly said in a serious tone.
