Chapter 81 – 81.Praton, the Holy Water of Water (3)
I wonder if the carriage was worth the price. Even if I didn’t put a cushion on it while moving, my butt didn’t feel very stiff or anything like that.
Perhaps because it seats 10 people, there was enough space for 5 people to sit comfortably on each sofa, and the space between the two sofas was appropriately spaced, so if it was filled to the point where people could sit on the floor, it seemed like 15 people could fit in.
There was enough space that it was okay to put a table in between.
It is large enough to place a table in between as long as the road is flat.
For your information, not only Gyeonghu but also Atsubal was not present in this space.
Because on the way.
“I’m going to drive it too!”
This is because he went out of the carriage and sat in the same coach seat as Gyeonghu.
I wasn’t very impressed with just riding a wagon, but riding in such a luxurious carriage must have aroused my desire to drive a horse myself.
So, the ones inside now were me, Pamela, Yeonhwa, and Adelia.
It felt even more spacious since there were only 4 people in the carriage, which was already meant to seat 10, and Atsubal was missing.
“But it’s a shame.”
Yeonhwa tapped her chin with her index finger.
“What do you mean?”
“Just going to the Water Temple takes three days, right? Even if we finish the research on the same day, it’ll take at least six days. In the end, I couldn’t attend the class. It was something I was looking forward to this time.”
“Ugh… I’m sorry.”
“No, you don’t need to apologize. It was my choice to follow along. It’s the content of the class~ You can ask the cadets you’re taking with you to tell you or go to the professor’s lab and ask for their understanding.”
“I’m okay, Adelia! I have classes too, but it’s fun to go out together like this.”
“Thank you, Pamela.”
“Hmm~.”
Yeonhwa spoke calmly, looking at me as well as Pamela and Adelia.
“Come to think of it, we’ve known each other for a while, right? In the case of Adelia, it’s been almost a month since we got to know each other.”
“Huh? That’s right?”
Match! Yeonhwa clapped her hands with a smile.
“Then, how about changing the title to a more friendly one? When I think about it, everyone except Sihan is using their surname his, and Pamela and Adelia are also being called by both their first and last names, right?”
“If you think about it that way, it’s Atsubal Genedict…”
“Atsubal-san, that’s a sign that he’s calling me in a friendly way. And he thinks it’s cool to call everyone, so he won’t change, right?”
“That… I guess so.”
“So, how about this? This time, I’ll just call you by your first name in a friendly way. We’re friends, right?”
“Friend… I’m a little embarrassed to say that directly with my mouth. I understand. I’ll do that from now on. Shu… Huh. Yeonhwa.”
“Very good! Come on, Pamela… Oh, and Pamela too!”
“Uh, uhh, uh… That… Uh…”
“Oh, if it’s difficult to sing, I won’t force you. Do whatever Pamela is comfortable with.”
“Oh, no! I, I, I’m friends with you too! I’ll try!”
Pamela gulped and swallowed her saliva and carefully called our names.
“Yeo, Yeonhwa.”
“Yes!”
“Ah, Adelia.”
“Okay.”
“Time, time, time…”
My face turned especially red when I said my name.
“Good call, Pamela.”
“Ugh… ! Yes, yes!”
“Ohhohohoho! It’s nice to feel like we’ve become closer just by changing our titles!”
I haven’t changed from the beginning, but the other members are changing their titles and becoming closer to me. I feel very warm and proud because I feel like I’m seeing a new group relationship story.
And that night.
After we finished eating and took a shower, we decided on a night watch.
Unfortunately, this route to the Water Temple is also an area where monsters are likely to appear nearby.
The order of duty was me, Adelia, Gyeon, Atsbal, Pamela, and Yeonhwa.
Since there were 6 people, it was good to keep watch.
As I looked at the bonfire crackling and lighting up the darkness, a somehow calm atmosphere stimulated my heart.
Looking at a bonfire like this.
“Mumbling.”
I secretly felt like eating cookies, so I took them out of my inventory and ate them.
A slight sense of immorality crept into my heart as I was secretly eating sweet snacks alone while everyone else was sleeping.
When I was eating snacks little by little like that.
There was a rustling, moving sound inside the tent.
When you put the snack back into the inventory, the sound gets louder.
“Time limit…”
Adelia came out of the tent and approached me.
“Adelia? It’s still a long way until it’s your turn.”
“I know. It’s just… I’m having a hard time sleeping today. Can I sit next to you?”
I immediately took out a chair from the inventory and placed it next to me, and Adelia sat down.
To keep watch, even when I sleep in a tent, I don’t wear pajamas and wear my usual clothes.
As her campfire crackled and replaced her lighting, Adelia’s appearance in the soft glow of the campfire looked quite atmospheric.
At the same time, the side of her breasts reflected in the light of the bonfire was also a great sight to take a mental picture of.
After watching for a while, I asked Adelia.
“Are you worried about something?”
“I’m worried… I’m more complicated than that.”
Adelia said, looking at her campfire.
“Of course, nothing may come out of this investigation. But I am looking forward to it. If I encounter the Holy Beast of Water, I will face it. I am not afraid of that. I also want to somehow save the Holy Beast of Water from runaway.”
Adelia clenched her fists strongly.
“But I have a strong feeling that what would happen if I don’t encounter the Chaos Church in the process. In fact, my original purpose is more to meet the Chaos Church… And take revenge than the Holy Water of Water. “
“Revenge… You’re talking about revenge on the first princess I mentioned last time, right?”
“Yes. When I was young, my older sister… It was no exaggeration to say that she was the best person to lead the country next to Abama. She was so talented from a young age that she couldn’t even be compared to me. She was kind, dignified, and a really cool person. But .”
Of course, I know the story behind it.
This is the story Adelia tells the main character in the main story.
“Before she entered the academy, her older sister went out to slay monsters with her knights. And then she…”
“We were attacked by the Chaos Church.”
“Yes. Those vicious bastards cowardly attacked her sister and the knights and took her life. According to the testimony of the only surviving knight… They killed her sister and took her body.”
Anger saw into Adelia’s voice her her her her.
“I can never forgive that. I don’t know what they’re thinking, but it’s clear they’re trying to do something stupid with my dead sister’s remains! No matter how much time has passed, I… Will absolutely catch them and get my sister’s remains back. Laden I have to return my sister to her arms. “
“Adelia.”
She carefully placed her hand on top of Adelia’s hand her her, which was tightly clenched into her fist her.
“Time limit?”
“I understand your anger well. I don’t know if we will discover the Chaos Church, but I will do my best to help you achieve your wish.”
“… I’m sorry. I got you caught up in it because of my stubbornness.”
“There is no need to apologize. As I said, I only accepted the conditions because Portis needed you. Since you are members of the same group, think of it as helping each other.”
“Members of the same group… Colleagues. Knights have always said that colleagues are dependable people. Now I understand what that means.”
After gently raising the corners of her mouth, Adelia tried to get up from her seat.
“Thank you for listening to me, Sihan. It makes me feel lighter.”
“Wait, Adelia.”
“What is it?”
If it goes on like this, it will end with a warm feeling.
Hearing this directly in real life, I was able to understand how distraught Adelia was currently feeling and how angry she was towards the Chaos Church.
Because I felt that, I was reluctant to send Adelia back like this.
“If I go into the tent like this, I’ll still have trouble sleeping because of my complicated mind.”
“Don’t worry. I told you about it, so it’s not that complicated…”
“So look at my scar for a moment.”
“… !? Uh, why are you saying that?”
Adelia asked, honestly embarrassed.
“Adelia. I already know your preference for scars. I also know how happy and excited you get when you see my scars.”
“Huh, I’m so excited. I…”
“I will sleep better after looking at my scars and feeling refreshed rather than feeling complicated like I do now.”
“Well, you don’t have to be so considerate, Sihan! I’m satisfied just by listening to you…”
When she gently and lightly exposed her stomach, Adelia immediately fell silent and lowered her upper body.
It seemed like an instinctive action.
“It would be better to see it anyway.”
“Huh… ! What on earth did I just do… !”
“Not only can you see it, but of course you can also touch it.”
“Sihan, Sihan! Don’t tempt me any further! Why are you doing this!”
“I want the group members to sleep peacefully. And don’t worry.”
I said while completely taking off my shirt.
“Just like last time, I’m not particularly offended by you.”
[It penetrated my self-control.]
“Haa! Haa! Haa! Haha! That’s right! You shouldn’t ignore your colleagues’ consideration!”
And Adelia enjoyed looking at, touching, and rubbing my scars to her heart’s content until my watch time was over.
“A scar that I can touch in person, not in a photo…! Ah, it’s so good. I couldn’t forget this texture. The feel of this soft scarred flesh! The vivid warmth and the liveliness that changes slightly as I touch it! The best… Everything!”〈 Br〉
I enjoyed it very much.
I never thought I would enjoy it until the end of my vigil, but I was happy that Adelia liked it so much.
And the next day.
Adelia’s face was full of vitality even though she was awake during her own watch time in addition to my watch time.
