304. The Week of Herb Gathering

Tyler walked forward, holding his head in frustration. His senses felt off, as if his perception had been dulled.

"Why are you holding your head like that?" Catherine asked, her brows furrowed in concern.

Tyler sighed and pointed ahead. "Do you see that branch over there?"

Catherine followed his gaze. "Yeah?"

"Well… I didn't."

Before she could fully process what he meant—

Bang!

Tyler walked straight into another tree branch, knocking himself back slightly.

Catherine covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. "Oh wow, that herb really dulled your senses, huh?" She patted his back as he rubbed his forehead, looking both annoyed and embarrassed.

The much-anticipated Gathering Week had finally arrived. Tyler, Catherine, and their group of six herb-gathering girls set out into the forest, ready to collect valuable plants.
