Chapter 1184 Borrowed Time

1184 Borrowed Time

"What do you think?" Kana whispered to Nia, who was sitting next to her.

"I am not sure. I have never heard of anyone living out in these woods before." Nia was also confused as to who this old woman was. "Well, for now, we will just eat. The food is harmless." With Kana's words, everyone dug in. After eating, which Kana ate the most and was now patting her protruding belly, the old woman walked over and sat down. "Rin, come here."

Rin walked over and sat down next to the old lady with a smile on her face. She even leaned into the old woman and rubbed her head affectionately against her. Now, this would be fine if it was how a human would do it, but this girl did not seem to be human at all since she was purring in the process of rubbing her head on the old lady.

"As you can see, Rin is not normal. Rin, show them your eyes." The old woman ordered. Rin hesitated for a moment before doing as she was told. The little girl took off her eye covering, revealing not just one but two sets of eyes. Each one with multiple pupils. When Kana saw this, she finally understood what was going on. "She is a beast who has evolved into a human body? Or a human born between a beast and a human."

"I don't mind." Kana did not even need to think about it. She had always been one to protect those who were in need. Little Rin was also cute and obedient so she did not need to think much about it.

"Thank you..." The old woman's lips curled up into a smile. But then her entire body seemed to burst into fine dust as a gust of wind swept through the area.

"Grandmother!?" Rin eyes went wide and tears began to form. She was told this day was going to come, but it was just too sudden.

Kana sighed, pulled the young girl into her arms, and hugged her tightly. "Everything will be okay. I will watch over you from now on and protect you. But before that, we should send your grandmother off with a smile. And allow her to rest in peace." Kana did not know how long the old woman had held on for but one thing was for sure. That old woman had used up her entire life and even borrowed time and endured all this time until she had arrived. Since that was the case, she would make sure Rin lived a happy life.
