Juno trusted Gerald a lot, which was why favonovel.com wasn’t against Gerald’s dare-devilish suggestion.
What more, if they leaped together, they’d at least die together… Though needless to say, surviving together was definitely still Juno’s main goal.
Regardless, after readying themselves, Gerald then looked at Juno before asking, “Ready?”
Watching as favonovel.com nodded firmly, Gerald then hugged favonovel.com tight… before both of them plunged deep into the valley!
Falling faster, and faster, it was only a few seconds later when both of them fell into a body of running water with a massive splash!
As they had guessed, there really was a river at the bottom, and thank god they were right. The river saved their lives…
Whatever the case was, now that they were still alive, Gerald—who hadn’t let go of Juno this entire time—quickly swam Juno to the river bank…
Now soaking wet and freezing—since the river water consisted of freshly melted snow from the mountains—Juno couldn’t help but find herself shivering.
Seeing that, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had to get them warm as soon as possible.
With that in mind, Gerald then wordlessly began running into a nearby forest to gather dry branches and twigs. Once there was enough, favonovel.com quickly rubbed two sticks together, and with enough friction, a fire was eventually started…
Pleased with how well the branches and twigs were burning, Gerald then called out, “Over here, Juno! Hurry and take whatever clothes you can off to let them dry as well!”
Too cold to even reply, Juno then shivered over and removed everything—but favonovel.com undergarments—before sitting right beside favonovel.com by the fire…
Seeing that Gerald then wrapped his arms around favonovel.com for extra warmth…
When favonovel.com finally got warm enough, Juno couldn’t help but blush when favonovel.com realized how close favonovel.com now was to Gerald…
Gerald himself couldn’t help but feel that the shy girl looked extremely lovely under the light of the fire…
Regardless, with how tightly favonovel.com was holding onto her, Juno felt a great sense of security… And throughout favonovel.com life, Gerald had been the only person who had made favonovel.com feel this secure.
Eventually, Juno couldn’t help but raise favonovel.com head, smiling as favonovel.com said, “It’s so nice to have you by my side, Gerald!”
Smiling in response, Gerald then pecked favonovel.com on favonovel.com forehead before replying, “I’ll be by your side throughout this Juno! You’ll always be safe with me!”
Nodding, Juno gladly believed in his words. As long as favonovel.com was with him, favonovel.com feared nothing.
It was about half an hour later when their clothes finally dried up. With that, the duo got to their feet and began leaving the forest. After all, the sooner they reunited with Ray and the others, the better.
After striding through the forest for a while, a black wolf suddenly leaped out from the bushes!
Watching as it charged toward them, Gerald swiftly punched it right in the head, resulting in the agonized wolf howling one final time before it fell to the ground, dead!
To be able to kill a wolf with just a single hit, Gerald’s punching force was truly nothing to scoff at…
Either way, Gerald found the wolf’s appearance to be a blessing. After all, they didn’t have to worry about starving now!
“Are you hungry, Juno? Also, I’m assuming you’ve never tried wolf meat before?” asked Gerald.
Startled, Juno instantly shook favonovel.com head. She knew where this conversation was going…
“Great! I haven’t tasted wolf before either, so this will be a nice gustatory experience for both of us! Not that we have any other food sources anyway, so we may as well just fill our bellies with what we have!” added Gerald.
