Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 622

Chapter 622 Come on, I’m a Man Gilbert could not help but chuckle. “How do I get up there? Step on your shoulders?”

“I…”

“I could crush your shoulders if I step on them. Besides, are you sure you can stand up, carrying me on your shoulders?”

What he said left Kisa speechless. She knew now that she could never bear the weight of a man like him. But what he just said panicked her, and she was not sure if she could pull him up once she was up there. Regardless of how many grudges they had between them, it was absolutely impossible for her to leave him alone in this cave at this moment.

“Gilbert, is there another way to get up there, preferably a way we can go up together?”

“No, this is the only way.” Gilbert looked at her with a serious look in his eyes, and when he saw her worried face and hesitation, he could not help but laugh. “Are you so afraid that I won’t be able to go up there and you will miss me?”

“Yes.” Kisa nodded without hesitation.

Gilbert was moved, and he could not help but draw her into his arms. He hugged her tightly. His chin rested on the top of her head. “You silly, don’t worry. Only after you are up there will I have a chance to go up. Otherwise, neither of us can leave this cave, and we both will die here, “he said in a hoarse voice.

“But what if I can’t find any vine?”

“You can. It is around here. My eyes caught a glimpse of it while I was rolling down the snow slope earlier.”

“And what if I don’t have the strength to pull you up?”

Kisa’s voice was choked with sobs.

“In that case, there is nothing you can do. Then you can only go back to get help,” Gilbert murmured.

“I’m not even sure I can walk back, let alone get help. Gilbert, aren’t you afraid of being in this cave alone?”

“Come on. I’m a man.” Gilbert was amused. “It is because I know you will be afraid, so I want you to be the first to go up all the more.”

“But-”

“Well, if you keep dawdling, it will get dark.” He pushed her away slightly and wiped her tears with his coarse thumbs. “Have faith in yourself. I believe you anyway. You can find a way to get me out after you get up there.”

Kisa cried and laughed at the same time. “I don’t know where you got the confidence.”

“I just have faith in you.” Gilbert smiled and helped her toward the stones. The stones were large enough for two people to stand on. After helping Kisa up, he stepped on it and climbed up.

Once he was at the top, he squatted down and said to Kisa behind him, “Step on my shoulders. Be careful.”

Kisa looked at his broad shoulders and did not move.

Gilbert became impatient. “Hurry up. I’m starving. Go up and get back to the resort sooner.”

Kisa still did not move, and Gilbert completely lost his patience. “Do you want to go up or not? Stop wasting time. I really shouldn’t have saved you in the first place.”

“Gilbert, you didn’t lie to me, did you?”

“What? Which one did you refer to?”

“Every word you said to me today.”

“Of course, I didn’t lie to you. What do I get by lying to you?”

“You can really go up there?”

“Of course, I can. Hurry up and get up there.”

Gilbert tightened the hands at his sides and helped her get onto his shoulders.
