Chapter: 39

�Take it.�

The young girl slowly approached him. Cale frowned as he watched the girl with coarse grey hair approach him. She had a hand on her side as she limped over to him.

�Hey.�

Cale pushed the two bags toward the young boy.

�You come here and take it.�

The young boy quickly rushed over and snatched the bags before quickly running back. Compared to Cale�s bright red hair, the boy had coarse dark red hair that shook as he ran.

Cale then turned around and headed toward the man-eating tree.

�Wow.�

�It�s not bread. It�s meat and cake.�

He could hear the siblings talking about the food, but he did not care. He continued to walk toward the man-eating tree�s territory.

Oooooooooooooong-

��It�s a bit scary.�

The black tree without any leaves seemed to be moving its branches to welcome Cale. This eerie feeling made Cale nervous, but he still poured the contents of the bag into the hole underneath the tree.

The bread quickly disappeared.

It was at that moment.

��More, give me more.�

��It�s driving me crazy.�

The response he read about in the novel showed up. It was the voice of a weak girl. Yes, the person who starved to death was a priestess who served a god. However, unlike the present day priestesses of the temples or churches, the ancient priestesses were shamans. The majority of the ancient shamans could be considered people who had superpowers or natural forces under their command.

Cale quickly grabbed the bag and started to move.

�Cale, come to my study tonight.�

That was what his father, Deruth, had said to Cale when he went to get some allowance. That was why he had to leave here before evening at the latest.

�Half.�

He came here with the intention of taking care of half of the gluttony of the tree today. He went back down the hill to get more bread. He could see the two siblings looking at him with cake on their lips.
