After breakfast with those strange gazes, we started moving again.After all, we were already behind the scheduled arrival, and it would be problematic to be delayed too much for Euan and his business.Just like yesterday, today too, Hannah invited me to travel with them, and I didn’t refuse her either.But since we woke up pretty late today, Shauna and I couldn’t train.Aside from the strange atmosphere in the truck, everything seems pretty normal.From the looks of it, Euan wants to say me but can’t put them in words since he is looking at me from time to time.It seems like he was a bit worried about possible repercussions I might face in the future, and his daughter may be involved in them as well.Well, it is not like I haven’t thought anything about that.In the first place, nobody will take action just for some sort of kids getting beaten.Normally speaking, this world has technological advances, but this is not because this world is developed in the scientific field.No, it is
After all those discussions about the world and how I should view humans etc., we kept traveling.And it was pretty much uneventful travel for the group. Until the evening, we traveled for quite a distance while stopping only for lunch.In the daytime, we have already traveled deep enough into Republic, so I think we won’t be attacked by any of the bandits anymore.It is acceptable that there were bandits out there on the border side of the country, but I don’t think the officials would stay idle if all those bandits were to operate in the middle of the country, although they can ignore a bit if they are operating on the rear side.And it seems like I am not the only one who thought like that.Pretty much all the tension in the group from the events of yesterday vanished, and everyone started to return to their usual selves.With that, the convoy’s atmosphere is also improved, and it feels less boring with all those cheerful people around.In the evening, we dined with everyone togeth
With that, I kept scrolling through the news until I heard the girls calling me.It seemed like they finally managed to finish their girly talk and remembered me as well.“Hey, Darius, come here for a bit.”Shauna called me over.It seems like they want to ask my opinion on something.When I got there, they showed me a picture of a familiar person.Yes, I am saying familiar because this guy was a character in the game, a pretty important one at that.“What do you think? Does he look handsome or not?”Hannah asked me while others were also expecting my answer.I must admit he is a very handsome person.This guy, Frederic Hael, is the main rival of Percy in the game.He was a very talented person, but his family was a bit weird. He grew up thinking that he should be the best at everything, and since he was a very talented person, he was really the best in his childhood, and everybody knew him as a genius.However, things changed when Percy joined the academy. Since Gungnir chose Percy a
Today was the last day of the travel, and we were expecting to reach Millennium City in the evening time.And, I must say I am glad that I have traveled with this convoy.Training with Shauna is very efficient, which is the reason I am progressing with my way in archery.And at the same time, I think I figured out the identity of this mysterious Katie.Yes, I am pretty sure the name Katie is also a synonym, and she is hiding her identity.I made this assumption from my observations of her behavior, how she reacts a bit late when we call her Katie, or sometimes she tries to avoid the topics related to her past, or some of the stories she was telling also have a lot of loopholes, which means she is making them up.There are other reasons as well, but they are not that important right now.Since today was the last day of traveling, Shauna and I decided to start the training earlier and make the best out of it.So right now, at 3.30 am, I am walking to the training spot we decided to.Not
While I was inspecting the status window and thinking about the changes in it, I suddenly heard a knocking sound out of my tent.It seems like someone is here, and it shouldn’t be Shauna since we decided to keep our distance not to make anyone suspicious about our relationship.So, it is either Katie or Hannah, but I don’t think Hannah is awake right now.So that means the person should be Katie.And as I expected from this, it was Katie.“Hey, Darius. Can I have a talk with you?”She asked directly without beating around the bush.“Okay, wait for me for a bit. I will get ready.”I said that since we had just finished our training, she must also know I was taking a shower.With that, I finished cleaning myself and opened the door of my tent.“Come inside; let’s talk here.”I said and invited her to my tent since the topic she would talk about must be private because she didn’t choose to say it in the truck.“Then, pardon my intrusion.”She said and went inside.After that, we both sat
With that dialogue, I pretty much managed to strike a deal with the villainess.You need to know that, even though she was a villainess in the game, she was one of the characters that I could relate with at that time, and she and I are very compatible types of people in case of our professions.Know that since I am a ranger, I need to have good tools at my disposal, and she is one of the best engineers you can find out there.In the game, she somehow got contact with Gorsaeth and became his disciple of him.Later in the game, she became the weapon supplier of the evil society to have her revenge, and she was damn good at that.And since in my past life, I have been an engineer, and even though I was just a second-year student, I still have considerable knowledge of engineering.She probably got to know Gorsaeth while he was running away from the gang at that time.However, since I dealt with the thing about Gorsaeth, I don’t think she will be able to encounter him naturally anymore.I
After I got the deal with Euan, the travel was pretty much the same as other days, except for everyone’s enthusiasm to end this travel soon.Because everyone is bored of sleeping in the tents and being stuck in the same truck for the whole day, I can see the happy expressions on everyone’s faces.While I was writing my novel, Hannah suddenly sat near me and put her head on my shoulder.Normally speaking, I wouldn’t let someone just simply intrude into my personal space like that, but since it is Hannah, I don’t mind.“Tired of talking?”I said since it looked like she was dead tired and sleepy.“I couldn’t sleep well last night, and all those talks made me sleepy. Is it okay if I put my head here, it feels really comfortable?”She asked while yawning for a bit.It seems she is pretty sleepy. And, well, I won’t decline her advances like this since there isn’t any loss in that for me.“Okay, you can put your head here, but don’t sleep for too long, okay? I will need to put your head in
After we reached Ohario City, we went directly to the rest since we were traveling non-stop for almost 15 hours.And neither Darius nor I am accustomed to sleeping while traveling, so I couldn’t sleep in the truck; therefore, I was pretty tired when we reached the room.Thanks to Catriona’s thoughtfulness, she let me have the first turn to shower, and with that, I went to sleep not long after to wake up with a pleasant surprise.The next morning, when I woke up, there was something different from my general lonely mornings.It was the existence of Catriona.Although I know about her quite a lot since she was a villain in the game, I don’t know much about her daily life habits or what she does in certain situations.But right now, I can observe one of them.She sleeps like a koala.Yes, like a koala.Right now, she is above my abdomen, sleeping while hugging me. Her arms are wrapped around me, and she is occasionally sniffing my body.To be honest, it feels a bit weird to see one of th
