[ DIFFICULTY:D.]
[ OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE FROM THE ATTACKS OF 'UNBEARABLE HUNGER.' ]
Clyde opened his eyes after hearing that voice. He sat up on his bed and stared ahead for a few moments.
"I've felt it already," Clyde muttered to himself.
Clyde felt his stomach growl with hunger. Even when he had just opened his eyes and the sun was not yet high. Yet Clyde felt that he had not eaten for a whole day. Which he knew was not true.
So Clyde got up and left his room. As soon as he came out of the room, Clyde smelled the aroma of cooking which excite his appetite.
Clyde walked towards the kitchen. Someone was already cooking the breakfast there.
Sure enough, when he was in the kitchen, Clyde saw Asqa wearing an apron and staring at the food on the table.
This motel is indeed small. So there's no restaurant here. However, there is a kitchen that the motel staff might use to rest.
Asqa, who was preparing the food, barely noticed Clyde's arrival. But not long after Clyde came she looked up and smiled.
"You're awake," Asqa said.
Clyde seemed amazed by all the dishes on the table. The food was made from the ingredients they had gathered yesterday.
Asqa cooks a wide variety of dishes from chicken, beef, and pasta, enough to fill the table.
Clyde felt this was a pretty extravagant dish considering what they were going to face after this.
However, he won't be able to complain too much because his stomach feels like it agrees with what Asqa has prepared.
Clyde who felt hunger eating his stomach, gulped. His eyes stared slightly widened at the food.
"You're hungry, right?" Asqa asked.
"Yes. I think the effects of this Chapter are already being felt," Clyde replied. "How about you?"
Asqa nodded his head. "Yes. I've also felt it since I woke up. But I'm holding it until this food is finished."
"Why do you bother cooking?" Clyde couldn't stop thinking. In the midst of a situation like this, Asqa still finds the need to cook.
However, that could be a good sign that she has been able to make peace with this chaotic world situation.
"I just want to do something useful," Asqa replied.
Clyde stared at her. "You've done enough already."
"I know." Asqa smiled. "Don't worry. I'm feeling better and I'm not going to be that whiny girl anymore."
Upon hearing Asqa's words, Clyde smiled faintly. Then nodded in full approval.
"Good," Clyde said curtly.
Then Clyde walked over to the chair and started grabbing some food for himself.
"You're not going to wait for the others to wake up first?" Asqa asked while looking at Clyde with shocked eyes.
"No," said Clyde coldly. "You should eat too. They'll wake up soon."
Asqa also actually felt very hungry. So she also immediately took food of her own.
Just as Clyde had expected, the Regressors came before long. Their faces still look tired because they just woke up.
But even so, they immediately sat down and devoured the food that was on the table.
Not a word was spoken between them during the meal. They didn't even ask who had cooked all this and Asqa didn't bother to explain either.
It was because they were only focused on getting rid of the hunger in their screaming stomachs.
A few minutes later they were finished eating. The seven people leaned back in the chairs with relieved looks on their faces.
"Am I going to get fat after this?" Sonya let out a chuckle.
"No. Everything will be back to normal tomorrow," Mona replied.
"Good," Sonya said.
"It's pretty impressive you can still think about getting fat at a time like this," Eric said.
Sonya shrugged. "Just curious."
Clyde was the first to rise from his chair.
"You want to go?" Asqa looked at Clyde in shock.
"Yes," replied Clyde.
"Shouldn't we just hide here because of the unexpected setting of this apocalypse?" Rodney asked with a frown.
"Yeah, you guys have to stay here. But I have to do something by myself," Clyde said.
Clyde didn't want to waste time. So he was already walking towards the door without saying much anymore.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm "Are you sure you don't need help?" Asqa asked while looking at his back.
The question made Clyde stop in the doorway. Indeed, having Asqa help him with her healing ability will definitely help a lot.
However, does he want to involve Asqa in completing this dangerous task?
Clyde turned to Asqa. "You don't have to do that."
Asqa bit her lip.
"What exactly do you want to do? Why did you keep it a secret from us?" Rodney asked.
Clyde glanced at Rodney. "This is something dangerous. I'd better do it myself."
"You think we can't fight alongside you?" Rodney asked again.
"No."
Clyde answered quickly. Almost instantly. That answer made Rodney grind his teeth.
"I'm just saying the truth. Your chances of survival will be greater if you stay in hiding rather than coming with me," Clyde added.
After that Clyde walked away before they could say anything to stop him.
They were all silent at the dining table with their thoughts.
Asqa bit her lip nervously because she was worried for Clyde. But, she also knew that what Clyde said was true. She won't be able to help him even if she wants to.
"Don't you guys feel suspicious?"
Suddenly in the middle of the silence, Rodney said something that was enough to catch their attention so they looked at him.
"What do you mean?" Sonya asked the question.
Rodney paused to think for a few moments. He had to convey his words as best he could so as not to sound like he was cornering Clyde. But it can also make them question his actions.
