Chapter 5: System information

  As soon as Alfred said those words a screen appeared before his eyes.

  ′Looks just like the thing I saw before my arrival to Artisia's realm. So that must have been a system message as well. I wonder why two of the options are redacted.′ He thought to himself before saying: ?System: Tutorial?, suddenly new words appeared on the screen.

  ′Hm, this system seems more complex than I first expected. Though no mention of those two redacted options. I guess I should try out that Explain function, System: Explain [Redacted] ˙Alfred thought to himself hoping this would shine a light on these weird options. Sadly he only got a very unhelpful message.

  ?I guess I will have to find some other way of finding out about this. Well I guess I will try the status function then.? Alfred muttered to himself.

  ?System: Sta.?

  ?Alfred, this is bad, this is really bad!? Liz rudely interrupted him.

  Alfred saw a panicked Liz pointing at their supplies. So he walked over and said: ?What is it something wrong with our supplies or is there something else??

  ?Just look in the bag, you will see? She said with a frown on her face.

  Alfred carefully opened the supply bag, inside seem to be packs of dried meat and what seemed to be some sort of bread wrapped in leaves.

  ?There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this Liz, I mean it looks like long lasting meals were given to us. Is that a really bad thing.? Alfred asked slightly confused as to why Liz was so distraught.

  ?Haha, nothing wrong you say, haha. This is elven bread and jerky, this is totaly bland stuff. Why do we have to eat this shit till we get to a town? And even worse, there is not even a single sweet thing in the pack.? Liz said while flailing her arms around.

  Alfred now understanding the situation decided to just check on the other equipment while saying: ?Liz you seem to have forgotten something.? He pointed at his face. ?I don't require sustiance, so this is all your food, not ours. And besides since we will be following the river we are bound to find some edible aquatic life.?

  This didn't cheer Liz up, she was now looking at Alfred like he was some pitiful creature. She came close and put a hand on his shoulder while was trying to put backpack on and said: ?So you have never experienced wonderful world of sweets and pastries. Oh, what a cruel world you must have lived in. Don't worry I'm sure we will be able to get that fixed in the future. Also, the whole part about fishing, nah, too much work.?

  ?Uh, that seems fine to me. If I suddnely gain the ability to eat, I will try this food that you crave so much. And leave the fishing and cooking to me, cooking is one the things I was designed for anyway.? Alfred said while picking up a spear that was given to them. ?Also can you carry the backpack with the food, while I carry the camping gear?

  ?Yeah, yeah. Even if I dislike that tasteless meat and bread it's better than starving. And can you give me one of those daggers, I would like to have something for self-defence in case of emergency.? Liz said while pointing at a simple steel dagger.

  ?Here you go. Before we go I would like to check my status, if I may. Sorry for the inconvenience.? Alfred said while giving her the dagger.

  Liz then sat down, put the dagger in her holster and started eating a piece of jerky. ?No problem, we are companions now, so don't apologize for these kinds of things. Ugh, it really needs some sauce.? She said between bites.

  ?System: Status? Alfred said brimming with anticipation.
