System vs Rebirth

"I have something like that, but it's only for taking out things. It's not meant to store anything." Noel shook his head, knowing the idea came from the town they saved.

Back then, he took out a lot of water gallons. So, Anna must think that he had the ability to store the water.

However, the reality was much different. Noel couldn't use the shop to store things.

To his surprise, even after knowing that fact, Anna suggested another thing as if this was what she had in mind. "No, no. I'm talking about taking out those big gallons and pouring all the water out so that we can get it out."

"Hmm?" Noel suddenly understood her intention. "Now that I think about it, that's possible."

"Though, we will have another problem, which is how to transport all of them. I mean, if we have a horse, we can buy a carriage or something. But how in the world will we be able to cross this mountain with all this luggage."

Noel thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. Though, I need your cooperation."

"I understand. What should I do?"

"Wait a minute." Noel walked out of the cave to buy Water Gallons. He had ten Honor Points left, so he could buy five water gallon.

However, Noel had a better idea in order to utilize it. It was possible now that their strength had increased.

"What are you planning to do?" Anna asked while walking to him.

​ Noel pointed at the gallons and said, "Help me pour all the water out except for the last one. And don't forget to wear your clothes while I'm going somewhere."

"I understand." Anna agreed without hesitation and watched Noel leaving to somewhere. Since she had a task, she immediately followed it through by pouring all the water out, except for the last gallon. Though, she was curious why Noel wanted to leave one gallon out.

It was quite unexpected when Noel suddenly returned with a tree trunk not long after. The tree was quite big and long and he still carried it by using his strength alone. It proved how much Noel had gotten stronger.

After Noel put down that tree, he asked Anna. "Can you fill up those four gallons with the Body Strengthening Liquid?"

"Yes." Anna immediately did her job while wondering what Noel planned to do.

When she returned, she was surprised that Noel was cutting the trunk and creating a basin in that trunk so that they could store the water inside.

"This is…" Anna gasped. The trunk itself was quite big. The length alone was enough to fit both of them inside and the diameter was three times of their bodies. Although it wasn't enough to store all the Body Strengthening Liquid, they could take at least half of it.

That amount should be enough to take advantage of.

"We have to fill the trunk with water immediately." Noel said while grabbing one of the gallons and starting to pour everything inside the trunk.

"Are you planning to carry this trunk?"

"Yes. It's going to be impossible if each of us carry one to cross the mountain terrain. But if we carry this together, we should be able to leave this place without alarming the demon." Noel nodded with a serious expression.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Ah!" Anna understood Noel's plan but there was still one question.. "How do we transport them? I mean, we can carry it, but the water is going to splash anywhere."

"I'll show you how later. For now, let's fill it to the brim."

"Alright."

Anna and Noel immediately worked hard to fill the trunk. It didn't take too long for them to finish filling the trunk. After that, Noel grabbed the part he cut earlier and peeled its outer layer.

"Huh? What are you planning to do with that thin outer layer? Are you going to use it as a lid? But once it's cut, it's impossible to patch it back up with your flame. This is not stone where you can use it to melt and attach them together." Anna explained.

This was the time Noel pointed at fifth gallon, "Now, bring that gallon to me and help me hold this thin layer."

Anna handed the gallon and grabbed the outer layer of the trunk, placing it right above the opening. There were only her fingers that stopped the outer layer to drop.

"I'm not a carpenter, so I can't make a container and its lid in an instant, but I can use my Spirit." Noel smirked. If he was a carpenter, he should be able to make a storage that allowed him to put the outer layer as a lid without doing anything special. But since he wasn't them, he took advantage of his power that differentiated him and the carpenter.

Noel poured the water out of the gallon and used his Ice Control to freeze this water.

"Ah!" Anna finally saw through Noel's plan. He was planning to splash the water and freeze them immediately to create a lid for this storage. And since it was made of ice, it would automatically attach itself to the trunk, so they didn't have to worry the lid would be tipped over if they made a sudden movement.

The thin layer of the skin was only to make the shape.

Noel kept freezing it from one point to another, carefully sealing the storage.

When he reached Anna's spot, Noel said with a serious expression. "Please endure it."

"Got it." Anna nodded and saw Noel pouring the water near her hands. The Ice Control soon froze the water, including the one that touched her hand.

Anna's fingers immediately went cold. If this continued, her fingers would become numb. However, she withstood the entire process without saying anything, knowing this was something she had to do.

After sealing that area, Noel helped her defrost the fingers and sealed the remaining area. "With this, it's done."

Noel took a step back and looked at the entire trunk, satisfied with his work. He even tried to tilt the trunk over to see if the water would spill or not.

As soon as he confirmed everything was safe, Noel said, "Alright. We now can do the rest of our job before leaving this place."
