THWWACK! THWWWWWACK! THWWACK! THWAACK!

Hard at work on a sunny day, Kohta and Saeko pressed the hammerhead down onto the wooden posts to smash it deeper and deeper into the ground, once it was deeper into the ground the two would then proceed to use the long wooden planks to slot in between the two poles and then use the nails they had gotten from their raiding and smash them into the sides of the post securing the planks being secure within the posts before stepping back.

Saeko wore a grey tank top with a bra underneath, her breasts pressing against the tight fabric as she wore pants and a pair of combat boots to go with her attire, her hair pulled up into a neat ponytail as she did the same as Kohta, pressing the wooden posts.

Letting out a breath, Saeko was forced to step back and admire what she had just done with the wooden posts, admiring the long formation she had done so far alongside Kohta who seemed to be struggling as he went along, Saeko snorted at the sight and realized that Kohta was not cut out for the work being put in front of him.

'These posts could do with the barbed wire from inside.'

Saeko thought as she looked to her side, a crate that was placed upside down that held a steaming cup of coffee that had been warmed up on the firepit.

Using her mind to imagine what it could be like, Saeko came up with a mini-plan in mind, straightening it out and then proceeding to lightly wrap them around the fence posts they had built next to the gated off fences.

A part of Saeko was relieved that she was one of the two out of the group to not be leaving the academy grounds today, partly being because she trusted her own ability to look after Alice while she could.

She hadn't been given the chance to get to know the little girl yet, they had been so preoccupied with other things she had put it in the back of her mind.

"My god, this is... so... heavy!"

Ignoring Kohta and his groans of annoyance, Saeko turned her head over towards the firepit where the child had sat next to the fire.

Her hands hovering over the fire as she sat on an old chair with a wool texture on the backboard.

Her legs were crossed, a book of some sort that she assumed Kohta or one of the others had given the younger girl before she had left, she appeared to be halfway through it as she took a heated up her hands.

'She must be cold, although that is surprising considering it is really warm out here. Unless it's because I have been busy?'

Saeko assumed it was just her and stood up.

Turning around and smiling as she walked over towards the younger girl who picked up on Saeko's footsteps as she turned her innocent yet childish glance towards her.

"Hmmmm?"

"Are you really that cold? Do you want me to go get you a blanket?" Saeko smiled warmly as she bent down, being level with the girl as she looked at her.
