Chapter 47 – District 1 (T2) (20)
8. District 1 (2 tracks) (20)*
[You have entered the rest area.]
[At the resting place, the effect of the dungeon is very small.]
[The efficiency of eating and resting increases in the rest area.]
Raella! Raella! Raella!
Ah. Even Justitia!
Justitia! Justitia! Justitia!
I had colleagues, but I didn’t care.
The appearance of the resting place at an amazing timing was truly an oasis in the middle of the desert after a drought.
How could you not cheer?
“I failed.”
“… Yes?”
“No, nothing. Drop Shay off carefully and get some rest. I will set up the tent as soon as possible and make a bonfire.”
“I will help too.”
“It is an order. Rest.”
… Nod
Kaya seemed to nod her head reluctantly. But as anyone can tell, Kaya needed to rest. As a result of carrying Shay on her back for a moment, she weighed her in her heavy armor… She wanted to be at least 80 kg. That was only an estimate, and since Kaya was wearing her heavy armor, her actual weight must have been more than that. She had endured that weight for several tens of minutes, so there was no way her body would be fine.
I was also tired, but not as much as the two of them. No, even if I was tired to the same extent, it was right for me to do it.
Because the two of them had a taste now.
Once again, thanks to the opening of the resting place on 1-9, I first took out the compressed firewood and started a campfire. After moving the shivering Kaya and Shay near the fire to warm themselves, they quickly set up three tents.
I handed Kaya water and a towel.
“Now that your body has warmed up enough, I think you can go to the tent over there and wipe yourself off. I’ll be preparing dinner in the meantime. Ah. Shay, can you clean it up for me too?”
Kaya nodded at her sluggishly. She stared blankly at the fire for a moment, then picked up her Shay and went into her farthest tent.
I put water in a pot and put it on the fire. The soiled weapon and her armor were roughly cleaned until the water reached a moderate boil. I could faintly hear the sound of taking off my armor from that corner, and I poured in some food, including powdered soup and dried vegetables. There was nothing to save, and there was no reason to save. Because the next room was the last anyway.
‘If I sleep well after filling my stomach with something warm, it’ll be a little better.’
If you wake up with nightmares, that’s going to be a bit of a problem, but… Everyone seemed to be able to sleep so well that they couldn’t remember their dreams.
Bubbling- While listening to the sound of boiling soup, Kaya and Shay came out of the tent in the corner. It looked like he had changed into extra clothes. Her hair was disheveled, her face was tired, and she looked dwarfed without heavy armor. It looked like it would faint if touched. Just like a zombie.
“It will be hard, but I want to go to sleep right now, but let’s eat. Let’s eat and sleep well.”
They even set their own bowls and utensils by hand. Everything will be difficult and everything will be annoying, so shouldn’t I, the normal person, move? Kaya saw me eating and began to eat slowly, but Shay sat there blankly, holding the spoon I had given her.
[Mentality]
Shay: -75 (lethargic)
Kaya: -31 (obsession)
Eugene: -64 (Indomitable)
‘If Shay, who was mentally strong, is broken once, she is ruined out of control…’
In terms of the original mental speed, Kaya was the most free mental. Shay and I are similar, or Shay is a bit harder. However, it is said that bamboo does not bend, but breaks. She didn’t expect Shay to be in the most serious condition.
‘There are only a few games where the anticipation is fleeting like The Long Terror.’
I took a bite and sat down next to Shay. Then he took the spoon and brought it to her mouth. Shay didn’t respond. Rather, Kaya was staring at her intently. She pretended not to know.
“Shay. Have to eat You need to eat to gain strength and move forward. Just open your mouth and swallow.”
“… Ah.”
“Right.”
Fortunately, Shay didn’t misunderstand what I was saying. It was normal for her to perceive external stimuli, but the problem was that she felt terribly lethargic in the process of putting them into action.
It took quite a long time even though it was only a repetition of extremely simple actions, such as opening my mouth wide enough to fit a spoon and swallowing the soup that had entered my mouth. It was because I had to feed the soup for over 30 minutes, which was simply scoopable.
She could feel Kaya’s gaze the whole time she was feeding Shay the soup, but she couldn’t stop. She had to recover as much as she could from this resting place. At the same time, Shay’s mentality as well as her physical condition were poor, so eating rice was not an option for her, but a necessity.
“Shay. Now that she’s done, let’s rinse her mouth with water.”
Rinsing her mouth was more labor than just swallowing, and Shay slurped water out of her mouth several times. Her lethargy was at a level that penetrated to her very bones.
‘You shouldn’t have nightmares in that state. Should I take Shay separately? If you carelessly take care of it and disturb the rest…’
I wiped Shay’s mouth and took her to her tent. Thinking that she had less sigh, she let out a sigh of her own accord. Could it be that her tension has been relieved? Her fatigue came all at once.
Eh, I’m just going to wipe my body and get ready for bed…
“… Leader.”
Well, get ready…
“Oh, uh. Okay. Kaya.”
Kaya, who had been silently watching as I looked after Shay, came over and held out her bowl to me.
“Kaya. You didn’t eat any?”
“Me too.”
She lowered her head without speaking. But her silence didn’t last long.
“I want to eat too.”
“Okay, if you eat.”
“Me too. I want to eat.”
“No, that’s why.”
“Me too. Eat. I would like to.”
Kaya held out her own spoon to me. From her repeated words, she could feel the strong will in the spoon held out.
“So…”
Haha.
Now, you’re asking for food. Just like you did with Shay.
I eventually accepted her spoon. Okay. Is this also my responsibility? Thanks to La Ella, both mother and daughter would be very heartbroken if she didn’t take care of her.
“Ah do. Ah-“
“… Ah.”
Kaya shyly opened her small mouth as she handed out a generous serving of her cooled soup. Huruloop- Unlike Shay, I ate well. But… It wasn’t normal for her to suck on her tongue and lips every time she took out the spoon. Even her gaze was always fixed on me. It was as if she was protesting. Why are you only taking care of Shay? Why did you take care of Shay first? Why don’t you take care of me
‘Obsession… Maybe it’s because scary. And it’s heavy.’
I didn’t know much about the eating mechanism of fear. It was only speculated that a hidden nature or trauma was manifested in response to extreme fear. Even in the official setting, it was not clearly revealed that this was the case. It’s because the warriors with the same class, gender, level, and skill didn’t get the same encroachment debuff every time.
So, I don’t know if Kaya’s ‘obsession’ debuff was triggered by Kaya’s inherent nature being altered due to fear, or if it was randomly manifested at that time… Judging by her tone of voice, eyes, and actions, everything seemed to be closer to the former.
‘The self-esteem that has been drained by others, and the self-distrust and hatred that follows from there. And to the person who relieved it to some extent and filled up his self-esteem, obsession… I’m sorry.’
It was a possible scenario. She also had the justification that it was the revelation of La Ella, who had good timing for her. Since the revelation of the goddess to the clergy was almost at the level of immutable truth, the scenario that was conceived by Kaya must have been fixed firmly enough to say that it is adamantine.
Judging by her behavior now, I might have become her second messiah, in an extreme sense… I’m thinking.
“… I really enjoyed the meal.”
In other words, it took Kaya a long time to empty the entire bowl of soup. It wasn’t enough that she licked and sucked from corner to corner several times in the name of cleaning the spoon every time she took it, and it was because she stared at me without saying a word in between.
‘It will get better. They’re doing this because of encroachment, so let’s get through the day.’
I deliberately thought of positive things, including the experience points and various rewards I would get after beating the boss. However, the imagination of escapism was soon cut off.
“Kaya. Your tent is over there.”
Dori Dori-
Doesn’t Kaya follow me to the front of my tent as if it were natural?
“Kaya. Now only the boss is left. It’s a real last break. I don’t know what will happen, but I need to get some rest.”
Dori Dori-
Kaya just shook her head without saying anything. Her expression was close to expressionless, but somehow she could guess what she meant.
– Sleep together. Otherwise you won’t sleep
Rather, what if I had a super-special insensitivity eye? Even though Kaya’s stubbornness was embarrassing, she must have slept alone until the end. But I was quick-witted. Life as a child made me that way. And…
‘Anyway, Kaya is my first mate. Also… It’s the fucking first girl.’
My heart was complicated to see Kaya threatening her condition hostage. Still, the answer was fixed.
“Then, please wait a moment. I haven’t even washed myself yet.”
“I am.”
Kaya rushed in quickly.
“I will clean it up for you.”
“No, that is.”
“I am. I will wipe it.”
– No? Then I won’t sleep
I felt both the determination to wipe my body and the earnestness to please not refuse.
“… Come in.”
Nod!
It was a powerful nod that I hadn’t seen in a while.
**
‘Is this what shame is?’
Taking a shower or taking a bath in a dungeon was just an illusory luxury. All we can do is wipe ourselves off with water and a towel. It was tolerable if I wiped the areas like the armpits, groin, and feet several times that were sweaty and smelly.
But those places, I’m not cleaning them.
“Please spread your legs a little more.”
“Ah oh…”
What if a female colleague, and that woman who took my virginity a while ago wiped it off?
Embarrassment and shame exploded.
– Rather good.
‘Rather, what’s good…’
– So it’s not good?
‘… Damn.’
But I couldn’t deny the sound that came from the depths of my heart.
Kaya thoroughly cleaned every nook and cranny of my body like a precious treasure. Gradually, the embarrassment disappeared and the feeling of refreshment and excitement rose. And there was no way Kaya couldn’t feel it.
Because of the magic torches that lit the inside of the tent to wipe my body, my body was exposed.
“Now, wait. There!”
“Here too… I will wipe it.”
It was at that moment that Kaya’s hand, which had been moving forward cautiously, finally touched the pillar of reversal that trembled.
– Aaaaa!!!!!
“Shay!”
Horrible scream.
Even just hearing it, a scream of pain resonated throughout the resting place, and the body, which had been heated with excitement and a little anticipation, subsided in an instant. I hurriedly got up, put on her underwear, and tried to leave the tent, only to find Kaya frozen in the same position with her hand outstretched.
It was a really crazy idea with a colleague screaming in horror, but… To a third party who did not hear that scream, I wondered if this situation would look like a man scrambling for her mistress who seems to be in trouble after abandoning her devoted wife.
If I leave the tent like this, I’ll be damned anytime… The most intense intuition since I fell into this world!
Wearing only my underwear, I whispered to Kaya.
“Wait. I will definitely come back ASAP.”
Kaya’s stiff head moved slightly.
‘Sorry, Kaya.’
I quickly ran to Shay’s tent.
