She Transmigrated And Started Different Life 242 242.Claros Unruly Thoughts

As she explained her futuristic idea they breathlessly looked at the girl that was not even up to their shoulders with appreciation. Taro gave up on his stance already a long time ago as he realized why those people looked at her with such respect.

''... then all you have to do is build the stairs that connected floors bright enough and on the sides, you can leave it like this...'' They wondered how this child got all those ideas but didn't ask her so she wouldn't stop her train of thoughts. 

Claro listened to her whole time and not left her changing face as she explained that and this. Sometimes she would smile lightly or scowl as she thought about some problems that could arise through the building. Every tiny change on her face bothered him and made him at the same time look more, and more...

After they went back he followed her just a couple steps behind until the city and then as everyone else left he continued his steps in deep thoughts not realizing that he continued to follow her. On mid-city gate, two females from the warrior guild rose their swords towards him. 

With glossy eyes, he looked at them and then snapped out his daze as he realized where he was. ''Sorry, I followed her whole time so I completely got deep in thoughts. How foolish of me. Have a nice day.'' He turned around under the icy eyes of those women. 

If he continued even one step further he felt that they would have chopped him completely into tiny pieces. Close death made him realize one more thing, he was mortal here. Literally. Dying here is easy. Even from a small cut, or a bite of some insect he can die. But how is it that he felt the sweetness in this kind of life? Maybe he should give up immortality and just become a normal commoner, a mortal?

The new option in his life made him think about many possibilities. He sat down by one of the fires where Taro sat with others and just started to the fire with blurry eyes.

Taro felt something wrong about this senior, but what, he was not sure. ''Claro, come here and eat something. You were around us the whole day but didn't eat anything since last night. You can't work if you lose power. Now we are not cultivators. We can't be without food for days or years. Now we need to eat at least twice a day. If we have enough food we will eat just like girls inside. They get three meals a day and fruits as a snack. You have no idea how much fun they have.''

Claro smiled and nodded as he took the bowl with stew. Taro pointed at the stew and shook his head. ''Who would have thought that the child is not even good in building stuff, she is a good cook as well. She cooked everything for us and said she will give us recipes so we can eat good food. That child is strange, seriously. People trying to keep their own ideas buts he is just giving it so freely. I do not know what to think about her.''

Claro stopped just before putting a spoon with food into his mouth. Before that, he didn't care who gave him food. As long it was edible he would just eat it. But hearing Taro's words he looked closely and saw finely cut vegetables and meat. 

The smell hit his senses and he closed his eyes enjoying the smell for a few moments and then with still closed eyes he put the food inside his mouth. The fried onions and meat gave the rest of the vegetables even more savory taste. Not only that, she put inside seasonings and made the stew something so enjoyable that his bowl suddenly was completely empty.

The hollow sound of a spoon hitting the floor of empty bowl made him open his eyes and looking at the big pot but then realized he was not the only one who was adding more. He jumped quickly just like others and added one more bowl of stew to his bowl, this time filling it to the brim.

Taro stared at him with an open mouth as he never saw this senior look like this ever. It was so clear that Claro enjoyed food, so his face of enjoyment made everyone even hungrier when they saw with what relish he ate the food. Taro nodded, yes everything that is needed in this world is to enjoy good food and work hard to improve.

As Claro sat down, holding bowl like something precious pair of eyes narrowed but then a sigh could be heard. ''I hope you will keep your eyes on her food only. Do not let your yes go astray, my olf friend. She is mine...''

As one more bowl of food was gone he still wanted to eat more, but as he stood up her realized that he was full. He looked at everyone swarming to the big pot again he shook his head. he smacked his lips and then gave up. 

Taro chuckled as he saw his expression. ''Eyes bigger than stomach right? When we have something so delicious we want to eat more. Luckily our stomach tells us when to stop. Unfortunately, not everyone can restrain themselves. Tomorrow we will start with the building. Want to help us or go to gather food for winter?''

Claro chuckled. ''I do not care about either the way. I just can't stand sitting and doing nothing. You choose for me, I will comply.''

Of course, Taro wouldn't give him such a hard task. So he chooses to send him with a group of people that will gather food. The Grounding Fairy Sect had few hand-driven carriages so when they find food they can drag it back.

''Kendra, as it seems, was checking surroundings. A day walks away from heer is a spot filled with all kinds of vegetables she stumbled upon. So she will lead our people there.'' Taro explained to the dozen people that were appointed to bring back food.

Claro rose his eyes towards Taro with a face filled with questions. ''Why...?''
