After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 727

However, this was a potentially life-saving skill so it was good to learn it someday so she listened to his explanation.

…it didn’t mean she’d try it now though.

They watched as Thorance virtually seemed to disappear in front of their very eyes, making their eyes widen.

The two immediately walked over to take a look, with Garan lifting his feet to light nudge where he remembered the man’s ankle was.

"Ough!"

"...sorry."

"It’s alright, captain," Thorance said, scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Basically, the slightest distraction can ruin the entire thing."

"It’s still a good skill to have. Thank you for showing it to me," she said, putting down the theory in her mind probably for future use. She then excused him and he went away, leaving the couple alone in her precious garden.

Now, it was time to get back to her plants~

However, as she turned, she saw her husband blocking the way with crossed arms. He was looking seriously at her.

"What is it?"

"Try it."

"What?"

"That skill," he said. "You cannot do anything else until you have mastered it."

"What??"

Althea flinched and she looked at her husband, realizing he was dead serious about it.

No, she didn’t want to! Too embarrassing!

Garan frowned and stepped over, holding her waist and lifting her up effortlessly.

"You!"

He then placed her right in front of a young tree in the garden. She looked back and saw how the branches were really varying.

Did he have to choose this tree in particular??

She pouted and looked at him, her large emerald eyes looking straight at his. Garan gripped his arm a bit tighter to keep his serious face but otherwise he didn’t show anything.

"You need this skill."

"..."

"..."

After some minutes of silence, Althea could only sigh in defeat.

She was flushed, knowing there was no getting out of this, so she sucked it up and attempted to do it. Her arms were raised and bent in strange ways mimicking the branch.

It really looked stupid!

"You’re very beautiful, wife, don’t be too self-conscious."
