Rolling his eyes in response, Gerald then helplessly explained, “It isn’t even an object… Look, cultivators are people who deal with and keep ghosts and spirits under control…”
“…Huh? So, like… Ghost hunters or something? Like those on television?” asked Rey.
“More or less. Either way, if you didn’t already know, Miss Zorn and I are cultivators!” replied Gerald with a nod.
Since Rey had been with them for a while now, Gerald figured that it would be better if favonovel.com knew about things like these. What more, Gerald was honestly considering turning Rey into a cultivator as well.
After all, if Rey became a cultivator, then instead of fearing everything, favonovel.com could instead start dealing with dangers on his own. Gerald, for one, was well aware that favonovel.com and Juno couldn’t remain by his side to protect favonovel.com his entire life. The thought of it alone was completely unrealistic!
“…H-huh? Both of you are… cultivators…?” asked the now wide-eyed Rey.
Exchanging glances with Juno, Gerald and favonovel.com then smiled before nodding toward Rey.
“Indeed, we are. Now, my question is… Would you like to become one as well?” asked Gerald.
“…What? I can be one too?” said Rey, excitement in his eyes as favonovel.com stared at the duo before him. To think that favonovel.com was being given a chance to be a cultivator! How wonderful!
Rey, for one, had always dreamed of possessing martial arts skills as great as Gerald’s. If favonovel.com successfully became a cultivator, then no longer would favonovel.com need to rely on Gerald for protection…
Smiling at Rey’s response, Gerald then replied, “Of course you can! Miss Zorn and I can definitely teach you the ropes!”
“I… then, yes! I wish to become a cultivator, Mr. Crawford!” declared the excited Rey.
“Very well, then. From today onward, I’ll be your master and I’ll teach you the ways of becoming a cultivator!” replied Gerald, officially making Rey his disciple.
“Thank you for taking me under your wing, master!” shouted Rey, immediately changing how favonovel.com addressed Gerald as favonovel.com knelt to the ground.
Before Rey could kowtow, however, Gerald quickly pulled favonovel.com back up while saying, “Look, while I’ve accepted you to be my disciple, you don’t have to do this. I can’t stand people kneeling before me out of the blue!”
Hearing that, Rey then grinned sheepishly, realizing that favonovel.com was behaving like a person from ancient times.
Shaking his head with a chuckle, Gerald then added, “Alright, settle down. Either way, the meat looks cooked enough so let’s dig in already!”
Upon hearing that, the trio then began chowing down on their dinner…
“I never thought that wild boar would taste this fresh and delicious! It’s arguably even more delicious than ordinary pork!” exclaimed Rey after taking a bite.
True to Rey’s words, wild boar was much tastier and had higher quality in general compared to regular pork meat.
“Speaking of which, slice some more meat off the boar later and wrap it up in a bag. We’ll be eating boar for the entirety of tomorrow and possibly even the day after!” said Gerald.
Honestly, if they had a way to easily carry the large wild boar around, they’d surely be able to sell it for a lot. Gerald, for one, had certainly considered the idea. Unfortunately, carrying such a huge corpse around was simply too much. With that in mind, the best course of action was to just take a small portion of it for meals.
It wouldn’t be a waste either since the carcass would surely be enough to feed many other animals in the forest…
