Chapter 49-2
Five hours had passed since Bandits attack.
After finishing my camping preparations and eating dinner, I lay down in the tent to sleep.
By the way, the first watch right now is none other than Kersey. That means there are only two people left in the tent, me and Riche.
An awkward silence passed between us for a moment. Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since Riche and I were alone together.
Now that I think about it, there hasn’t been a single time when Riche and I were alone since Kersey was brought to the mansion. Hmm, I remember saying something about it before.
As I lay there in silence, she speaks in a serious tone.
“…Young Master.”
“Uh, yes?”
“You’re not going to ask?”
“…”
I know what she means by that. It’s probably related to a request we saw this morning.
Honestly, it’s not that I’m not curious, but I don’t think there’s a need to force the issue. Everyone has their own circumstances.
“If you want to tell me someday. I really don’t want to ask.”
“I see…”
With those words, Riche turned her body towards me. At the same time, her red pupils met mine. Her gaze seemed tough on the outside but uncertain on the inside.
We stayed like that for ten seconds. A bead of sweat trickled down her forehead.
The sweat ran down her face and reached her chin, then flowed down her neck. Although she wasn’t trying to seduce me, seeing Riche’s sweaty neck made my heart race, and her unique scent tickled my nose.
I followed the line of sweat, and it reached her large chest, which was confidently emphasized by her white negligee.
Without realizing it, I swallowed my saliva. I looked back at her face.
A few strands of hair were stuck to her cheek, and her cheeks were also reddened.
Her eyes slowly closed, and she leaned in towards me. Maybe because of the atmosphere, I leaned in too.
Our lips were about to touch…
“Master! My watch time Is over!”
[That woman is crossing the line even though I tried to tolerate her!!]
Kersey opened the tent entrance wide and shouted loudly.
Constellation, who had not sent a message for a while, immediately became heated and abandoned the concept.
We quickly turned our faces away from each other, as if we had been lying like this from the beginning, at the speed of light. Phew, that was close.
I had never experienced something like this before, but being alone with Riche after such a long time swept me up in the atmosphere.
Just when my heart was beating fast, Kersey approached me and shook my body.
“Master, get up. It’s your turn now.”
“Uh, okay. Got it.”
I rubbed my eyes with my hand and sat up.
“Thanks for your hard work, Kersey. You can rest now.”
“Master, why is your face so red?”
“Huh? I guess it’s because it’s a little hot while sleeping.”
“Ah, that makes sense. Anyway, good job, Master.”
With those words, I left the tent. By the way, I heard that Riche pretended to sleep moving and slapped Kersey.
***
The next day, about 5 hours passed after we cleaned up the tent.
While hiking, Kersey alternated between squinting at me and Riche.
“Master, what happened between you and Riche? Why is it so awkward?”
Suddenly, the question reminded me of what happened in the tent yesterday.
Riche’s face turned red. looks like, I’m not the only one who remembered.
“W-What? Nothing happened. You’ve been with us all day too.”
“Y-Yes, that’s right. Junior. We’ve been together until now.”
Kersey nodded in agreement with our awkward response.
“Well, I’ve been with you guys all day, so what am I even talking about?”
It’s a relief that she’s still young. If it were Eillen, Skaya, or Anje, they would have definitely noticed that something suspicious was going on between us.
But Constellation, sent only one message yesterday and has been quiet ever since.
If she were his usual self, she would have caused a commotion, but now that she’s quiet, I feel like something bad is going to happen.
As I walked, thinking such thoughts, Riche opened her mouth with a serious expression.
“Young Master, we have arrived at our destination.”
As Riche said, we had arrived at the dungeon. Let’s go get some free items!
