Chapter 405 As Long as You Agree to One Condition

Dawn studied this dark little lump. Initially, she didn’t want to eat it regardless of what it was. “What’s this? It looks like poop!”

“Try it, it’s really good. Here, I’ll taste test one.” Courtney pinched off half a piece of chocolate and placed it in her own mouth. After a lot more coaxing and cajoling, Dawn awkwardly made herself try a bite.

The girl’s expression shifted slightly. Not long after that, the inner side of the chocolate wrapping was licked clean. “So good… Do you have more?” Dawn rifled through Courtney’s pockets, but she didn’t find another piece of chocolate.

“If you want chocolate, you can have as much as you like once you leave the island. And, there are also so many other things that are tastier than chocolate.” Courtney proceeded to describe the various tasty foods that could be found in the outside world, from hot dogs and meat skewers from roadside stalls, to fried chicken, burgers, and doughnuts, and even nicer, luxurious treats such as steak, foie gras, and lobsters. Dawn couldn’t stop drooling from her descriptions.

“There’s really lots of delicious stuff out there, like you said?”

“Why would I lie to you?”

“I knew it; I shouldn’t have listened to Fatso. He keeps telling me that I’ll starve to death outside so that I’ll give up on leaving.”

“You’ll definitely starve to death if you go alone, but if you come with me, I guarantee you can try all those things that I mentioned.”

“For real?” Dawn’s eyes glimmered, her dark and dirty face lighting up with a smile. “What are we waiting for, then? I’ll take you to see that raft I made.”

 

“Where is it?”

“There’s a bamboo forest behind this cave.”

The two then made their way to the bamboo forest.
