The sky had only just begun to brighten when mist was already rising from the surface of the Ice Sea.
After breathing warm air into his palms, Bai Zhi set the Cola Cup in his hand aside and placed a kettle back over the campfire.
Since there were now twice as many people as before, each team had sent one person to take turns keeping watch during the night. Bai Zhi had taken the final shift.
Just as Bai Zhi was deliberating whether to have grilled fish, grilled fish, or grilled fish for breakfast, the flap of the nearby tent was lifted, and a Young Girl with a ponytail tied on the left crawled out.
"Hm? You're up so early?"
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at her.
He had taken over her shift earlier, yet she was already up after barely an hour or two. There were still another hour or two before everyone was supposed to get up.
"Uh, I couldn't really sleep..."
Shaking her head slightly, the Young Girl sat down by the campfire somewhat cautiously. After a while, she finally could not help asking Bai Zhi a question.
"Um... don't you have anything you want to ask?"
"Ask what?"
Bai Zhi gave her a rather puzzled look.
"About that... that... you know, that thing?"
Gesturing vaguely with her hands for quite some time, the Young Girl seemed even more anxious than he was.
"Aren't you even a little interested in the things that happened in the future?"
"Why should I be interested?"
Curling his lip, Bai Zhi tossed another handful of firewood into the campfire.
"Isn't the future something you create yourself? When I do problems, I never want there to be a standard answer."
"Uh..."
"Right, do you have anything to eat?"
