Chapter Index

    There always comes a time when a person has to give up.

    Even if it was me, it wouldn’t be any different.

    Sometimes, your pride may be blocking your path.

    People always say that they move forward because they are greedy, but there was a person who did not know that the path was blocked by that greed alone in the middle of moving forward.

    Yes, I was saying that it is good to be flexible about everything.

    And it was no different for me.

    There was a desire to go home.

    I wanted to go to a safe place, away from the world where I had to live in fear that they might kidnap me and use me again as material for biological experiments, and furthermore, for some reason, I felt comfortable being in that house.

    Of course, it wasn’t necessarily comfortable, but I also felt like I didn’t have to work harder than I do now.

    Anyway, I eventually gave up on one of my desires.

    I only thought that I had to do this in order to move forward, so I was able to overcome the reluctance to be embraced by a man and let go of my feelings.

    Of course, in the process, Kailon had to give up his greed and use the other side.

    My butt still tingled. What can I say, I felt uncomfortable because it felt like there was still a foreign body in my butt. It was no exaggeration to say that I couldn’t sleep well because of that.

    “… Kylon.”

    In the end, I, who had almost lost my mind from the sensation I felt for the first time yesterday, ended up in Kailon’s sleeping bag while still being held in his arms.

    The sight of us hugging each other naked didn’t seem like a good idea, but I didn’t even have the strength to refuse, so we pressed our bare skin against each other and murmured.

    Then Kylon softly answered my call.

    “What’s wrong?”

    “Just, I still feel like something is there.”

    As soon as I wriggled towards Kailon, who was blinking his eyebrows, he hugged me with a soft smile.

    I didn’t want this, but I thought it was okay because I felt like the feeling of that place was a little erased as another stimulus was given to my body.

    “Sorry, are you uncomfortable? I don’t know if I’m being too greedy.”

    “… Everything is fine, but the outdoors is a bit… ”

    “Still, the tent was so narrow that I thought I would get hurt. I have to lie down, but it hurts when I kneel on a hard floor.”

    As before, I had no intention of refuting Kylon’s opinion.

    No matter how wide it was, it wasn’t enough space for a person to stand, and there was no place to hold on to it or anything, so someone had to hold it down or it had to be on the hard floor.

    So, it was true that it was easier to do it outside with shoes on.

    Because of that, I had to go half-naked outdoors, shivering that someone might see me, and shivering from the chill of being outside rather than indoors.

    Maybe that’s why my body seemed to become more sensitive.

    As I was rubbing my bare skin, I felt a burning sensation again.

    Still, I was tired and tired right now, so I couldn’t help but fall asleep regardless. Of course, that was the problem. I don’t think I should be able to fall asleep, but the only thing I was worried about was what if I woke up like this and the other heroines would notice.

    “Yes, but… Should I sleep with you like this instead? What are you going to do if the kids wake up first?”

    “It’s okay. I have a talisman so I wake up later than I do.”

    “Still… ”

    “It’s okay. Sleep a little more comfortably.”

    “Is this comfortable?”

    “Yes.”

    “I’ll just go to my sleeping bag and sleep.”

    “… Okay.”

    “Huh?”

    After chatting about this and that, I pursed my lips and said I would go to my seat, and he readily agreed.

    I was startled by that sight and looked at him with my eyes wide open.

    “It’s okay. Now, here are the clothes.”

    As if he really wanted to let me go, he released his grip on me, untied the straps of my sleeping bag, and immediately brought out comfortable clothes and shorts for me to wear when I sleep at the bedside.

    I was dazed at the sight of him falling with a crash, but then I hugged my naked body and got out of the sleeping bag.

    I didn’t expect that Kylon, who seemed to be greedy and stubborn and never gave up on his will, would nod his head to my opinion like this, so I embraced my dazed emotions and grabbed the clothes and put them on.

    After wrapping my arms around someone to prevent the warmth from escaping, I looked at Kylon blankly, and Kylo smiled faintly.

    I wondered why he was laughing so hard, so I opened my eyes and opened my mouth.

    “What’s wrong?”

    “It’s nothing.”

    But Kylon didn’t tell us what he was thinking.

    After putting on my clothes roughly, I nodded meaninglessly a couple of times and slowly left the tent.

    Before, there was Kailon who was excited about me just by seeing him crawling out of the tent, but now, even if I glance back at him, I see him looking at me with a happy expression.

    Something felt strange.

    What can I say, it’s like he’s looking at me the way he looks at his lover.

    I wish they would stop looking at me like that, but I left the tent without complaining because I had no way of knowing the truth even if they said something based on the shape of their eyes and then denied me seeing them with those eyes.

    And then Kylon’s voice tickled my ears.

    “Good night, Veronica.”

    “Yes, you too.”

    Tonight felt like it was going to be quite long.

    But no matter how long the night is, there is an end, so I answered and left the tent to sleep.

    *

    Camping in the forest is over.

    In fact, camping so far had originally meant settling down on a plain near the road and sleeping, but in this case, camping in a forest completely surrounded by trees felt a little different.

    Above all, it was the place where I met Kylon for the first time, so I didn’t think it would ever fade from my memory.

    The first time for anything is deeply imprinted, so even if I don’t like it, it won’t leave my memory.

    After finishing a quick breakfast, I changed into saintly clothes, carefully adjusted my veil, and tilted my head.

    After checking that it wouldn’t fall even if I moved it around, I nodded and stood up, and I saw Kailon, who had put the tent in his inventory and was ready to go.

    I don’t particularly want to open my mouth in front of other people because I use the tone of a saint in crowded places. So now, even if I make eye contact with Kailon, I will speak first unless he thinks I need to talk to him. There was no need to start.

    However, I knew that Kylon’s gaze was sticky, so I avoided my gaze without realizing it.

    After what happened yesterday, he just seemed to look at me like that. Of course, it could be that I’m overreacting, but if not, I wonder what I’m doing if other kids notice it.

    Just as I was about to get anxious, Kailon smiled and then clapped his hands hard.

    match! As everyone’s eyes focused on Kailon at the strong ringing sound, Kailon announced that he had finished organizing and seemed to be about to begin his descent.

    “… Now, shall we all go back? Since everyone has worked hard, let’s take a rest in the village for a day.”

    “Kylon, I would like to reward you for helping me by cutting down the vines… to do… ?”

    And at the end, Agnes, who wanted her contribution recognized, was seen rushing furiously to receive the award from the morning.

    It couldn’t have been a truly amazing thing.

    I never thought I would blush this morning thinking about such an act.

    Because of this, I felt like I needed to seriously consider whether humans actually have estrus periods.

    Agnes struck first, and Linda must have felt nervous when she saw that, so she raised her hand and patted her chest. She knocked a couple of times as if to ask him to look at her, and perhaps thinking she had caught Kailon’s attention, she immediately opened her mouth and appealed for her contribution.

    “I worked hard to clear away the flying tree branches! I also protected the saint!”

    “Linda… !”

    Agnes growled at those words, but it wasn’t noticeable.

    And after hearing Linda’s words, Kailon blinked, then smiled and stroked Linda’s head.

    “Really? Well done.”

    “Ka, Kylon, I… ?”

    “Good job.”

    Kailon tried to soothe Linda and Agnes and take his steps back.

    However, there was one more person in this party, Flora, who contributed the most in this fight other than Kylon.

    “… I almost died helping Kailon for nothing, but what do I have?”

    As he said, Kylon looked at the scene blankly and just smiled.

    Then he stroked Flora’s short pink hair until it became tangled, and then answered.

    “Okay, okay. I will give you many awards.”

    Kailon was seen leading the other heroines forward, probably in a good mood.

    It was fortunate. I always worried a lot about what I would do if he lost motivation, and I also worried a lot about whether there would be discord with the heroines because of me.

    But still, I felt relieved because it seemed like he had calmed down after what happened yesterday.

    Kylon, and the women hugged by Kylon.

    And I just watched it from behind.
