Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 620
Chapter 620 I Can Quit Smoking for You
Kisa was startled by the voice, and the fruits in her hand
fell to the ground. She turned her head in puzzlement and saw Gilbert striding toward her. He seemed
to flounder a
little as if he was still half asleep or feeling weak because
of hunger.
Gilbert held her shoulders up, asking anxiously, “Have you eaten? Have you eaten the fruits?”
Kisa shook her head in bewilderment. “No. W–What is
wrong?”
Gilbert closed his eyes slightly, obviously relieved.
She looked at Gilbert’s anxious look and was worried. ” What is wrong? Why can’t I eat the fruits? Are
they poisonous?”

Gilbert remained silent, just keeping his head low as if he was not feeling well.
Kisa hurriedly helped him to sit down. “Don’t scare me, Gilbert. You are not really poisoned, are you?”
Gilbert brushed his hair from his forehead and smiled.‘ How can that be? I’m fine. I’m just too hungry
and
Kisa did not quite believe him. “Then why did you say I mustn’t eat the fruits?”
“We will be going out soon. It is better not to eat them in case they are really poisonous.”
“D–Didn’t you try that before?”
“I just ate a bit, and only two days have passed. What if they are poisonous and show their toxicity
slowly? I thought that we would be trapped here for a long time if the blizzard didn’t stop. So, as ast
resort, we could only
take these fruits to fill our stomachs. Now that the
blizzard has stopped, and I have thought of a way to get out, it is better not to eat them for safety’s
sake.”
Kisa listened and felt that he had a point. But she still felt that it was wasteful to throw them away. “I
have picked a
lot of them, and I thought I’d eat enough and have the strength to get out of here.”
“Better not eat them,” Gilbert said, pping all the fruits
in her hand to the ground.
Kisa felt sorry but did not dare to tell him she still had a few of these fruits in her pockets. There was no
evidence showing that the fruits were poisonous. If it was not
poisonous, they might save saved her from hunger during critical times.
“Alright. Let’s go up there while it is still early,” Gilbert said, bringing her to the cave opening.
Kisa was very curious. “Can we really get out just like this?
It was not like they could fly, and she really could not figure out what way Gilbert hade up with.
He said nothing as he just went to the corner of the cave to move a few stones over. The stones were
large, and thanks to his strength, he could not have moved them over. He had moved fourrge stones
over and now sat on the stones to catch his breath.
Kisa could not resist stroking him on the back. “Take a rest.”
Gilbert propped his elbows on his knees and rested his forehead on the back of his hands, looking
exhausted. She did not dare ask any more questions but just sat next to
him on a stone.
After a while, Gilbert suddenly said to her, “Help me bring the lighter over here.”
“Okay.” Kisa limped off to pick up the lighter by the fire.
Gilbert looked at her injured foot and said in a deep voice,
“After you are rescued, go to the hospital and take a good look at your foot. It is ugly to see you limping
like a cripple all day long.”
Kisa bristled at what he said. “Don’t look if it hurts your eyes!” As she spoke, she had already brought
the lighter
over.
Gilbert fumbled in his pocket for a while and took out a cigarette pack, which was crumpled. He opened
it, and there was only one cigarette left inside.
Kisa snickered. “I bet you have been very frugal with your cigarettes for the past few days.” Gilbert
ignored her and lit the cigarette, and Kisa sat down and chuckled. “Men are really addicted to smoking.
They can go without food, but not without cigarettes.”
“If you want me to quit smoking, I can do that too. Believe it or not.”
