Inside that place, everything looked so messy. Kendra's sickness kicked in. For the whole time, she didn't feel any signs of OCD but looking at this place...
First, she cleared all the dirty tubes. Then she corrected all the pots in their proper places. then she moved bed more proper way and went to her cave where she still had a bunch of grasses that she wanted to reuse in case of need.
She made a proper bed for her and lit the fire. When she saw that the fire was burning badly she realized that this girl didn't gather dry woods as the smoke rose directly trough the place making it smelly.
She shook her head took the bed to her cave arranged it close to hers and just went out. Looking at how thick smoke came out of the small dwelling like a den. At least she can use it to smoke things. But what about food? Before they even think about it, maybe she can take the food with her if she transfers it into the house before finishing the quest.
The girl came back somewhat cleaner, making Kendra sigh. She went inside the cave and took a big pot out. Walking towards the forest she called over her shoulder. ''Come I will help you. We will be done soon with task and I do not think we should show ourselves like this. These tasks are actually easy done and the Taskmaster will let us be together at the end. Let us come out of the world all safe and sound. I am just a little child, but I know many secrets. Please trust me. Come help me.''
The young woman nodded smiling. She had a tiny bit grudge against this girl but she wanted to succeed this so she could raise her powers. But Taskmaster never said it has to be complicated. Suddenly sound could be heard. ''Anyone around?''
Kendra turned around and saw the young man that was supposed to find 100 different kinds of plants and give them proper names. She smiled brightly. ''You understood the words. I am grateful.''
He rushed to them but saw the young woman next to Kendra and smiled. ''Anita, I am so happy. Your quest is similar to mine. Are you done?'' But she shook her head and laughed.
''I misunderstood quest and started hunting them instead just catching hem. he never said I need to kill the animals. I am indeed foolish. Luckily Kendra finished her task on time. We are about to get water to wash up... Wanna help us?'' The pot was heavy and he was a strong man.
''Of course. You girls go back. My stuff is unfortunately just outside your dwelling so I will need to make a new sleeping place for me.'' But he saw Kendra shaking her head.
''You will not. She will sleep tonite in my cave and you can sleep in her dwelling. When you are back with water you will help us make the dwelling more comfortable. Hurry.'' She is not foolish to do work if someone stronger is willing to help out.
He nodded and rushed with a big pot to the nearby river.
The girls rushed back and saw all kinds of things gathered on his way. Kendra happily realized he picked up many seeds from different kinds of plants. She smiled happily.
''Should we bring these inside?'' Anita was really happy now.
''Yes. I already cleaned that place. Let us bring this inside and let's check your bags. After washing you need clean clothes. The dirty clothes we will wash combined with powers so we can go back to bed clean. You will feel more comfortable I think as well.'' She smiled brightly at Anita while picking up a few smaller packages.
Soon the young man came back and brought back to them the heavy pot filled with water. ''Where should I put this?''
Kendra shouted from inside the abode. ''Go to the cave and put it on the stove. And put some dry wood on it.''
''Ok.'' He rushed towards the cave and was tunned by the cleanliness of it. He carefully put the pot on the strange stove and put a few chopped pieces of wood.
Soon the fire became a bit stronger and he came out. ''Inside it smells so nice.''
''Of course. I use the oil od that plant for use on my and inside the cave. It has a soothing smell so I sleep very well. By the way, what was your name?'' She completely forgot their names.
He sheepishly smiled at her while holding two pots in his hands and walking inside. ''I am Sirius. My family's name is Stone. I cam from the 6th plane and have a simple background. I am sorry.''
Kendra shook her head. ''Simple, right. So simple that you succeeded to become a cultivator that passed the boundary under 100 years old. Stop making jokes.''
Anita chuckled. ''We are from the same plane so I am happy to be in the same group with him. He is actually from the military family. I am noble. ''
Sirius came inside and just realized the appearance of Kendra. The fox ears were fluffy and cute and her big eyes, white hair, clean clothes. Aw
He stared at her with big eyes and was about to pinch her cheek when he felt hit in his behind. ''Idiot. she is just baby. What is going on with your head?'' Anita openly started cursing him out.
He chuckled. ''I am sorry Kendra. I am a bit rough on edges but I like cute things.'' He gave a glance at Anita that instantly became red, making Kendra get an idea about these two.
''Ok, you two. Stop flirting straight in front of my nose. Let's bring these inside and make you a bed and a fireplace. With your help, we can finish her task quite quick, but still, you need a place to stay.''
The two quickly became shy and rushed to finish what they started while Kendra watched at the roof of the abode. Then she looked at the floor and started smiling. The floor is made of clay. They could just make a warm bed for him so he has it warm for a few days and in her place he can eat together with two of them.
Kendra realized that they will get all their belongings and everything they made, gathered and got on the way to the next task. So she didn't plan anymore to transport all their stuff into her cave.
With the big smile she walked with new plan towards the door...
