ch.22 'harmless water'

Giya opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and licked the blade of the dagger. "Oh, it's a rare poison. I don't recall anything from memory about this kind of poison."

After that, Giya put the dagger in her mouth and sucked all the poison from the blade. She closed her eyes to check the potency and the effect of the poison. After a while she opened her eyes and said,

"Good job, Butler, you have given me what I want the most. This poison can kill any person in five breaths by coming into contact with their blood. However, it has a limitation that it can only be used once. When this poison comes into contact with blood, it dissolves inside the blood and then it turns blood into water. This water is harmless the second time."

"What should I call this poison? Five-breath poison? Instant poison? One-time water? Okay, I have decided I will call it 'harmless water'."

"[Rainbow Art] second form: poison water."

Giya condensed the violet-colored water and smeared it onto the blade of the dagger. Now, the silver blade of the dagger began to shine with a violet hue. Giya put back the dagger inside the box and closed it.

Leaf knock on the carriage door and said to Giya, "Miss, the food is ready. Please come down and eat it. The tents are almost ready. After eating, we can rest early."

Giya came down the carriage while carrying the box. She gave the box to Leaf and said, "Inside This box is a life-saving instrument; it can help you save your life in an emergency. Take it with you wherever you go."

Leaf took the box from Giya's hand and said, "Thank you very much for taking care of me, Miss. I will always keep this with me wherever I go."

Giya and Leaf both went to the campsite and ate with Hannaldo and his team. After that, all of them went to the camp to sleep. Giya, Leaf, and Hannaldo had their own separate tents, while Hols and Vinky, and Mubi, Kolm shared the same tent.

Next day, early morning.

Leaf came to the Giya's tent and said loudly, "Miss, wake up. I have prepared water for you to wash up."

Giya was already awake and, after hearing Leaf's voice, she came out of the tent. Outside the tent, Hannaldo and his team had prepared a small wooden cabinet for Giya. She went there with Leaf to wash herself.

When Giya came to the campsite after washing herself, the food was already ready and Hannaldo's team was packing the things to prepare to leave immediately.

After eating, Hannaldo said to Giya, "Miss, we will enter the forest from now on. We need three days to make out from the forest, so we will camp inside the forest for two nights. After that we will reach to the next village on the third day afternoon, there we rest in the village for a night. The next day morning, we leave the village."
