Chapter 10
As I asked, Eden, who had been silently staring at me, suddenly had one of his eyes glow with a mysterious purple hue.
“I see it. Thoughts, the next move, possibilities.”
Eden’s true constellation, the Sage of Death, was the highest deity from Norse mythology—Odin.
Given that Odin’s main ability was precognition, such a skill was more or less expected.
“And what else?”
“Right path, choice, death, fate….”
I commit each word from Eden’s responses carefully to memory.
This ability has endless potential.
Eden could take the lead in dungeon exploration as a scout.
“The longer I use it, the more I can see. And….”
The unexpected happened while Eden was speaking so calmly.
His eye veins burst, causing blood to start flowing from his eyes.
“Hey, hey! What’s happening?! Turn it off, quickly!”
“If I use it for too long, my eyes deteriorate. They’ll get better with time, probably.”
“What do you mean, probably?! Ugh, just turn it off already!”
When I shouted urgently, the purple light in his eye finally disappeared.
Eden casually wiped the blood around his eyes, then hesitantly leaned his head toward me.
Wait, is he…?
Does he want me to pat his head?
“From now on, don’t use it recklessly. Even if you do, never to the point where it harms your eyes. Got it, Eden?”
“…Okay.”
I sigh as I pat his head.
It seems like I ended up picking a bunch of weirdos for my teammates….
I’m worried it might negatively affect Lyria’s mental development.
“Xenon. What about you?”
Leaving behind Eden, who seemed disappointed when I stopped patting his head, I turned to Xenon.
It was unbearably awkward because of what happened earlier, but I had to do it.
“Sword.”
As expected, his answer was short—too short.
Does he think he’ll die if he says more than two sentences?
“Can you explain a bit more? We need to know to work together.”
Hearing my words, Xenon finally turned his gaze towards me and, as if exhaling a sigh, began to speak.
“I won’t harm you, so there’s no need to worry.”
Ugh, that smug bastard.
I wanted to snap back at him, but considering what happened earlier, it was hard to hurl harsh words at him. So, I swallowed my anger.
“Sigh.”
Despite the presence of Lyria’s hearth, I felt as if the temperature around us had dropped.
All because of that icy, stone-cold jerk.
“What about you, Wendy? What abilities do you have?”
“That’s right, sister! I’ve been curious too!”
Yeriel and Lyria, in an attempt to lighten the heavy atmosphere, eagerly asked me with feigned enthusiasm.
“Me? Hmm….”
My abilities, huh.
The Spatial Pocket was a passive skill, invisible to others.
I still hadn’t fully figured out what kind of skill Big Data was.
That left only one other thing….
“I can provide high-quality food for you all.”
Luckily, the favor points had just been settled about ten minutes ago.

“How does it taste?”
Nothing fosters camaraderie faster than sharing a warm and delicious meal together.
“It’s so delicious, sister!”
“This is amazing, Wendy!”
And nothing beats enjoying a warm meal outdoors. A hot bowl of rice with a piece of spam on top—there’s nothing like it.
“This fluffy white food tastes incredible!”
“This square sausage is strangely familiar but still so good!”
Yeriel and Lyria both gave me double thumbs-up as they eagerly devoured the meal.
“They sure eat well~”
It seems true that the items in the store appear filtered to match the goods of this world.
‘At least I won’t attract any unnecessary suspicion.’
I felt relieved and turned my head to look at the stone-cold man sitting across from me.
“A skill that summons food—quite unusual.”
Even though Xenon maintained his usual calm expression….
Chomp, chomp, chomp.
Judging by the speed at which he was devouring the food, it seemed like he quite liked it.
And Eden was….
“Huff, huff….”
That’s….
‘…A puppy?’
The way he eagerly ate, his usually vacant eyes now sparkling, reminded me of a fluffy, four-legged animal with shaggy fur and a bushy tail.
Well, as long as he’s eating well, that’s good.
Feeling pleased as I watched them eat, I turned to check my remaining favor points.
[Numerous Favor Points: 5]
The favor I had earned through blood, sweat, and tears had become a small yet precious number.
“Thanks to you, Wendy, we’re enjoying a warm meal in the middle of this desolate place.”
“I’m going to live with you forever, sister!”
“Nom, nom.”
“You certainly have quite a few tricks up your sleeve.”
At the very least, it seemed like the initial impression of my skill was quite positive.

An unexpected but minor benefit was that I’d managed to attract the interest of my constellation—the readers.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, the sun began to set.
I glanced at Yeriel, who was picking up branches nearby.
“It seems we haven’t received any new notifications. Maybe we should just spend the night here?”
The dense thicket around us was quickly being swallowed by the darkness.
Yeriel, understanding my suggestion, nodded and handed the collected firewood to Lyria.
“We’ve prepared as much as we can, so it’s probably best to stay here tonight.”
Like he said, wandering aimlessly without a goal was not a good idea.
For now, we decided to spend the night in this spot.
But there was one problem.
Although Lyria’s skill could keep the bonfire burning all night….
If we continued like this, we’d end up sleeping on the bare ground.
As I mulled over possible solutions, one idea suddenly popped into my head.
‘Now that I think about it, I do have that.’
Magic Cart!
A large window immediately appeared before my eyes.

I quickly skimmed through the list.

There weren’t that many items.
Without bothering to read further, I decisively selected the blanket.
‘The holes in it might be annoying, but….’
It’s better than sleeping on the ground and waking up with a cold.

With the purchase finalized, a large sack of blankets tumbled down from the air.
‘Can’t they hand it over in a more normal manner?’
Sighing, I bent down and picked up the blankets, then handed them to the four people standing idly by.
“Take one each and use it to cover yourselves while you sleep.”
Xenon received the blanket with a puzzled expression and looked at me questioningly.
“I’ve been curious for a while now. Is summoning these items also one of your skills?”
“That’s….”
Technically, it wasn’t summoning—I had purchased them from a shop.
‘There’s no need to go into every detail.’
Xenon continued staring at me, noticing my hesitation, and spoke again.
“You summoned items that don’t belong to this world during the meal as well…. Have you already received a constellation’s support?”
“…….”
“According to that woman’s words, support from the constellations should only be possible once the main mission begins.”
Yet, the first mission hadn’t even started. From his perspective, I looked like a completely unleashed power-user.
“Strange.”
This is bad.
“Are you hiding something from us?”
Suspicion filled Xenon’s eyes as he stared at me intently.
