Summary
Alvin fights a horned bear that manages to disarm him. Karla appears and introduces herself as a healer. She wonders if he is alright and Alvin yells to help him. As Karla doesn't do anything, Alvin pause the fight and goes to her and annoyed explains that she needed to help him. Karla comments that he is losing to a monster and is taking his anger at her, but needs to just accept that he is weak. Alvin yells her to shut up and Karla starts crying. Alvin then apologizes, but she wants him to beg for forgiveness. While he tries to calm down, Karla explains that she was never in a group and its probably because everyone think of her as a dreamboat. Alvin agrees to team up, but comments that he is beginner adventurer himself and to not expect much from him. Karla agrees, as she doesn't expect he to be any good, which annoys Alvin that she agreed. Alvin asks her to heal him and she tells him to stop moving. He stops moving, but Karla then states his heart is still moving, which make him yell that if he stops his heart, he will die. Karla gets startled and explains since he moved and yelled, she accidentally cursed him, but its nothing serious, he will die only if he is 300 meters away from her. Devastated by the news, Alvin falls on his knees, which Karla confuses as bowing to her and tells him, he doesn't need to do that. Alvin gets angry and yell that he cannot get away from her now. The bear tired of waiting, tells them they shouldn't fight with each other and since they are a team now, they need to get along. Alvin surprised by the bear, yells at it to not start talking like its nothing.
