The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Don’t worry, Miss Alice, I will take this secret to my grave Chapter 116: Don’t worry, Miss Alice, I will take this secret to my grave “Don’t worry, they’re going to be fine.” Alice’s words immediately eased Devon’s heart.

He didn’t know how, but it was like a spell that calmed him down right away.

He bowed his head, relief coursing through him.

If Alice said that then he had every reason to believe it.

After all, she was the impossible itself.

“At least…” She added, looking away quite sadly.

“…the ones who still have life in them.

I can’t do anything about those who have died, sorry.” Devon saw this and felt Alice was even more human than she had ever appeared to be.

He held her hand, not letting her grab him like a kid, and said, “You don’t have to apologize.

It’s not like it’s your fault.” Yeah, it mostly was.

“And as long as the living can continue living, that’s enough.

That miracle alone is enough.” He said, looking at her with a rather relaxed expression than what he had earlier on.

It made her feel comfortable and glad.

Devon was so amazing.

She wanted to say those words and usually, nothing would stop her, but the words were caught up in her throat for some reason.

It made her heart thump and her face slightly flush.

He was simply smiling, so why was she having a heart attack again?

She wondered.

But to overcome this, she decided to force the words out.

She glanced over her shoulder once more, quite awkwardly this time around and said, “Devon, you’re so…

Amazing.” Devon was shocked to suddenly hear that but what he was more shocked about was the little flush he was sure he saw on her face.

But it was gone in an instant.

Was it his imagination?

But…

His heart felt warm…

She called him amazing.

Even after his poor performance, she still called him that.

Just what sort of light was she looking at him in that she would say such a thing?

But he didn’t hate it.

A compliment from Alice made him regain his confidence again.

Alice led him inside the building and without hesitation, released the potions and elixirs from her ring.

Devon was surprised.

Where did they all come from?

He noticed her ring, the one she was always wearing, was it an artifact after all?

“Sorry, I don’t have time to explain but keep my ring a secret, will you?” She asked, and being entrusted to this secret, Devon took it upon himself.

He placed his hand on his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Alice, I will take this secret to my grave.” He said, quite seriously that Alice darted her eyes away in embarrassment.

It wasn’t that big of a deal so he didn’t have to go that far.

“Anyway, these are top-quality healing potions and elixirs.

I got them as a reward after clearing the dungeon.

It should be enough to recover all of them.” Devon was speechless.

These were elixirs and healing potions?

These many of them?

The table she had released them on was wide and in that wide table, the elixirs and healing potions had filled it up.

They all had different colors but were all top grades.

“The blue is instantly effective and can heal any deformity so give the blue to those who have lost a leg or arm.

The green also has the same effect but it takes a little longer, compared to the blue.” She explained, pointing at the different colored elixirs.

“The blue may not go around to those who lost limbs so pass on the green after that.

As for the healing potions, they heal minor injuries just fine so…” “Why?” Devon asked, interrupting her.

“Why?

What do you mean why?

I just said to give the elixirs to…” “Not that.” He shook his head and raised it to ask, “Why are you giving these precious items out like this?

They belong to you.

You got them for all your troubles, so why?” Alice fell silent.

He looked at her with that worried and angst expression again.

Was it that big of a deal?

They were just elixirs and potions.

“Well,” she brushed the back of her neck and wondered what to say.

She could say she was giving them as gifts to her new guild mates, who she did not want to die, because she couldn’t use the excuse that she felt responsible.

But…

given Devon’s character, he would definitely not want to hear that from her.

And then, she remembered.

Devon was a peculiar character.

She stepped closer to him and looked him in the eyes, “I’m just doing what you would do if you were in my shoes.” She said.

“Tell me, if you had all these and people were dying, would you hesitate to give it out?” He searched randomly at her expression with his eyes.

He would not hesitate but…

That’s because that was the kind of person he was.

Alice was not that selfless.

Or…

Did he not know her fully yet?

She was selfless enough to go into that dangerous gate alone, and this evening, she went looking for the dangerous gate that was about to appear.

So maybe she was indeed selfless.

But…

“They are my responsibility,” Devon said.

“I have the obligation to look out for them but I can’t allow you to use all your precious items.

What would you do if a day came and you desperately needed it?” “Oh, if that’s what you’re worried about then don’t be.” She stepped back.

“I have a dozen more of these in my ring.

I’m not that careless.

Trust me.” She smiled but Devon still felt uneasy about this.

Too much.

She was doing too much.

She didn’t have to give up her things for others to- He blinked his eyes, getting a sudden realization.

What were his thoughts just now?

Was he actually wishing Alice was selfish and hid her precious items even when he knew people were dying?

He placed his hand on his head, dismayed.

What was wrong with him?

“Are you okay?” Alice asked and he looked at her, gritting his teeth.

“Yes, I’m fine.” He said.

“Miss Alice, I will make sure to pay you back for your goodness and these things you are willing to let go.” “Oh, it’s no big deal.

I was planning to sell them anyway.” She said, hoping this would ease his burden even by a little bit.

But he still didn’t look at ease with her words.

She interlocked her fingers behind her head, resting her head back lazily, and said, “Then, if it makes you feel any better,” he raised his head.

“Why not convert this to a favor?” “A…

Favor?” “Yeah, like you’re indebted to me now.

If I need a favor from you, no matter what it is, you’ll help me.

Is that okay?” “A favor is too little for compensation.” He said, shaking his head softly.

‘Geez, why is he so stubborn?’ she clicked her tongue.

‘Leo, got any other ideas?’ Of course, Leo had been the one feeding her with the words she had been saying.

*Ask him if he would consider it little if it were his life.* Alice tilted her head.

His life?

What would she need his life for?

But oh well, maybe it could work out for now.

They were wasting a lot of time arguing over this.

“Then, would it be considered a sufficient compensation if the favor I ask for is your life?” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah What did you think of when you saw the title of this chapter?

Haha, I’d like to hear your thoughts
