Sure enough, once Andres was far enough away, Goliry bit her lip and picked up the pill from the grass.
Goliry held the pill up to her nose, and glee flashed across her exquisite features.
It was a Heavenly Restoration Pill.
Even though pill-making skills had been extinct on the Cryolet Continent for nearly a thousand years, Goliry knew enough about it as the Saint of the Red Shirt Crusade. She discovered two of those Heavenly Restoration Pills in an ancient tomb about a year ago, so she knew the pill in front of her was genuine.
Who would have guessed Andres would be such a nice guy?
Goliry paused briefly before swallowing the pill.
Andres had guessed correctly. Goliry did not want to take the pill in front of him as she cared about her status and pride. Goliry did not need to keep the act up since he was nowhere to be found.
After all, she had expended a lot of energy in the fight and regaining it all would take at least an hour. Her energy would be restored in no time since she had taken the Heavenly Restoration Pill.
Yet…
Goliry had no idea Andres was watching everything unfold in cunning anticipation about ten meters away in the forest.
Indeed, Andres had only gone into the nearby forest to spy on what was going on with Goliry. How could he possibly have intended to give such a gift to someone who had abandoned him?
That pill was a Heavenly Restoration Pill that Andres had laced with some special drowsy medicine.
Andres was a huge pervert who frequently used pills to dupe girls while traveling the world. After being abandoned by Goliry, he was bound to exact his vengeance.
When Andres saw Goliry take the pills, he could not help but laugh as he emerged from the woods with a satisfied expression. "You really are a cheat, Spirit. Taking the pill behind my back."
"So? Am I that much of an imbecile to you?"
