Chapter 10
Zhafira was used to such things while in Buton. She always loved the beauty of her hometown both on land and in the ocean so that things like that did not complicate him.
"Puhahhhh... This is enough for all of us. The others have also gotten quite a lot of sea urchins, how about we go back now? "Renal who came to Zhafira immediately showed his catch.
"Yes... it seems like I've had quite a lot too. Other friends also like the difficulty because the sea water has receded now. "Zhafira agreed with Renal's words and prepared to go with him, because the two of them were at odds with each other.
"Argghhhh..." Zhafira and Renal were surprised to hear screams not far from behind them. There was Aidan, who looked difficult to swim in and looked in pain. Renal and Zhafira immediately swam up to him for fear of something questionable happening.
"Ohokk... ohokk... ohokk..." Aidan coughed strongly because of the successful salty sea air.
"Are you alright? What happened to you... I think you can swim well. "Said Zhafira denied he could go further into the middle of the ocean compared to him.
"I stepped on a sea urchin. Ughhh... "Aidan tried to hold back pain in the back that was so oppressive and p.r.i.c.kling that it made it difficult to swim.
"Let's take it to land first. Until there is new we treat. "Said Zhafira to the Renals, then they both supported Aidan's body and swam fully towards the mainland.
Seawater that has increasingly receded makes them have to walk when it comes to areas that increasingly lack sea water. A considerable distance from the beach makes Aidan unable to walk anymore. His feet felt itchy, painful
"Akhhh... I can't stand it anymore. We should treat it as soon as possible here. " Aidan firmly sat up on the white sand dunes created by the flow of sea water.
"Wahh... you were stabbed quite a lot. I'll get the medicine, you can wait here first. " Said Renal was surprised when he saw Aidan's feet, filled with black color as a result of broken thorn from sea urchin.
"There's no need, you can treat it directly here." Zhafira immediately stopped the Renal who wanted to go get medicine.
"Hah…?? What do you mean? What do we want to use his legs for? " Renal asked, not understanding what Zhafira meant, while at that time there was nothing that they could use as medicine.
"Look for a stone or other blunt object, let me pull out the thorn that's still in his leg first. After that, let Aidan tell you what to do. " Zhafira half crouched before Aidan and began pulling one by one the remaining thorns from the sea urchin on his feet.
Although a little confused, Renal immediately obeyed what was said by Zhafira. Look for a stone and bring it back as quickly as possible.
Aidan did not let go of his eyes on Zhafira who was gently pulling a thorn in his leg. Zhafira seemed very good at doing that, so that Aidan did not feel pain in his legs. Aidan's admiration for Zhafira increasingly made him feel that Zhafira, looked very attractive with his cold and indifferent att.i.tude.
"Is a stone like this enough?" Renal asked when he found a stone.
"Ummm... Yes, this can be used. Continue the rest, making sure your shot hits the area affected by the thorn. If not you can tell him to do it all himself. I'm sure he's better at it than you. I will take all this to land. " Zhafira immediately gathered their catches and left, leaving the confused Renal behind.
Aidan could only laugh at all of Zhafira's very outspoken words at him.
"What does it mean? What should I do to treat your feet? Is it only enough to use this stone? " Renal murmured, staring at the stone in his hands in confusion.
"You're really a city person... this should be basic knowledge for Biology students who will often do field work. We will often be dealing with things like this. " Obviously Aidan continued to stare at Zhafira's back, which was getting further away from him.
"You mean…?" Renal frowned, still did not understand.
Not answering Renal, Aidan immediately took the stone in Renal's hand and began gently pounding his feet. He deliberately did it himself so he could find out how much strength he had to give so that he didn't need to endure the pain because of the rough blow that the Renal might give.
"The sea urchin thorn left in the leg must be hit using a blunt object like this so that the thorns are destroyed. After that please p.i.s.s my feet. " Said Aidan after finis.h.i.+ng hitting and destroying the remaining thorns that were embedded in his legs.
Renal's eyes widened in disbelief when Aidan asked him to p.i.s.s his feet.
"How could I do that? Somehow I like being an insult to you. If anyone knows what I'm doing to you, those women will definitely not let me live in peace. " Renal knew very well how Aidan was in the eyes of his female cla.s.smates as well as his seniors. Aidan who is handsome and also intelligent is very popular among students in his department.
"Urine contains ammonia acid which functions to break down the poison from the sea urchin spines left on the feet. Although a bit dirty, but this is the most effective way when punctured by sea urchins. After this I will give anti-septic so as not to get infected. " Obviously Aidan casually looked at Renal seriously.
"So this is what he means if my shot must hit right in the area affected by the thorn?" The conscious Renal immediately stared in the direction where Zhafira had disappeared before.
"Hahahahaha... Your reaction has been long enough. What if you do it now? I really can't stand the poison reaski on my feet anymore. " Aidan laughed at Zhafira's words earlier.
"Well... it seems like there's no other way. Forgive me beforehand, after all, you were the one who asked me... "Aidan could only nod slowly at what Renal said.
