System vs Rebirth

"This trunk?" Shale inspected the trunk and noticed it was sealed by ice. "What's in it?"

Noel thought Shale could be trusted, so he said, "An important liquid that can strengthen one's body. I'm planning to show it to the commander."

"…" Shale couldn't really allow such a thing, since it would look like anyone could meet the commander as they pleased. But Shale still remembered how the commander asked him to take care of Noel.

Since there was a special relationship between Noel and the commander, Shale said, "Alright. I can ask the commander about it. However, if you're doing this to not get spotted, just the fact that you're bringing a big trunk in the city is already giving away that information."

"What they see was a trunk, they didn't know there was a liquid inside since we covered the icy seal with clothes. As long as I could make something out of the remaining trunk, people would think I used it to make those." Noel explained.

"That's understandable." Shale thought for a moment and said, "I got the idea for you. Anyway, I'm going to discuss this with the commander first. Wait here."

"Understood. Thank you, Sir." Noel politely thanked him.

Shale walked to the main building to meet the commander immediately. Noel might claim a fake stuff, but he wasn't someone who would easily be deceived by a quack, so Shale chose to trust Noel in this matter.

Ultimately, Noel was the one who had to take the responsibility, so he didn't mind calling the commander.

…

"So, that's how it is…" The commander closed his eyes for a moment after listening to Shale.

"Yes, Sir." Shale nodded. "I personally believe that Noel is a smart kid. However, I'm still unsure whether he is telling the truth or not. I'll chase them away if you don't want to meet them."
