Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 623


    Chapter 623 Don’t You Lie to Me


    Perhaps because of stepping on another fellow human, Kisa felt sorry and almost went weak at the


    knees, as if she would fall at any time.


    Gilbert held her ankles and said to her, “Don’t stand up yet. After I get to my feet, you can stand up


    slowly. This way, you won’t fall easily.”


    Kisa nodded subconsciously, then uttered an


    acknowledgment when she realized he could not see her. Gilbert slowly rose to his feet. Still gripping


    her ankles, he got up slowly and steadily. Kisa looked at his thick hair; somehow, her eyes welled up,


    and she felt a lump in


    her throat.


    She took a deep breath and said to him again, “Don’t you lie to me, Gilbert. You can definitely go up


    there too, right?”


    “Yeah, as long as you are up there, I will have a chance to get up there, too.”


    “Are there really vines around here?”


    “Yeah.”


    “You really saw it?”


    “Yeah.”


    “You’re lying to me?”


    “I’m not.”


    Kisa pursed her lips and believed him for the time being. She thought he was right; this was the only


    way they could go up, with one person leaving the cave first. It was better than two people getting stuck


    in the cave. She secretly made up her mind–she would go up first and


    then pull him out of the caveter, no matter what.


    It took a while before Gilbert finally stood up straight.


    You can now stand up, and once you do, you will find your eyes level with the cave opening,” Gilbert


    spoke with difficulty. He took a pause and continued. “There must be


    a lot of snow at the mouth of the opening. The snow is


    slippery. Remember to plow away the snow, grab the


    weeds and roots, and climb.”


    “Okay. I will stand up now,” Kisa said, cautiously getting


    on her feet. Her heart pounded as she was nervous. She


    spread her arms wide to keep her bnce, trying not to


    wobble too much. She finally straightened up. As Gilbert said, the opening was level with her eyes, so it


    seemed he


    must have done the math in advance. She reached into


    the snow with one hand and gripped the ground to stabilize herself while the other hand plowed away


    the


    snow.


    Because the ground around the cave opening was


    inclined, the snow at the edge of the opening was not too thick, and much of the snow had fallen into


    the pond below in the cave. It took Kisa a while before she finally cleared an open space. As luck would


    have it, there were no weeds on the ground, but there were exposed tree roots. She grabbed one of


    them and found her anchor point. The roots were so big and exposed, and there were many of them.


    She grabbed a root with her left hand and pulled herself up while reaching up to grab another root with


    her right, then climbed with much effort and slowly pulled herself up and out of the cave.


    Gilbert looked up at her, and a gentle smile spread across his face when he saw she was out of the


    cave. He knew Kisa could do it.

    After pulling herself out of the cave, Kisa was panting heavily, but there was no time to rest. She


    ignored her frozen hands and face and hurried back to the edge of the cave opening. “Wait down there.


    I will find the vines.”


    “That won’t be necessary.”


    Kisa was getting up when she heard what he said. She was


    stunned and froze, asking, “Why?“
