The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 20: Camping (2)

༺ Camping (2) ༻

I could understand her.

Since childhood, Kaya grew up like a soldier under the protection of the Sword Saint Gerald, and lived a life where she built a wall around herself and men.

For her, being in a situation where she has to sleep in the same place as a man must have been quite a psychological blow.

Besides, I wasn't ugly. When I saw Isaac's face in the mirror, he appeared to be rather attractive. She even admired me.

The conditions were just right for something strange to happen.

I cast another glance at Kaya. She was still nervous.

She must have been afraid that I would touch her. In a good way, a bad way, or both.

That didn't mean I could sleep outside, I only had one tent.

Even if I made an igloo with ice magic, it was useless because I wouldn't be able to control my mana while asleep, and the spell would be dispelled.

"............."

"............."

In the quiet night, the sound of a crackling campfire and a gently flowing stream could be heard.

If I kept my mouth shut while listening to natural ASMR like this, the strange atmosphere would only get worse.

Just then, my drowsiness kicked in, and I was starting to feel sleepy.

Perhaps in this situation, it would be a good way to reassure her in this situation if I went to the tent's corner and fell asleep first.

"I'm sleepy. Let's sleep."

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Private Kaya Astrean.

She reminded me of when I first joined the military and was assigned to my own unit. I was a private.

I got up from the folding chair, with a blanket draped over my shoulders. Then I entered the tent first, while ignoring Kaya, who was staring at me.

There was enough room for the two of us. I went to the farthest corner, and laid down there so Kaya could sleep comfortably.

'Ah.'

This cozy feeling, what is it? It's nice.

It doesn't feel like I'm just coming over and camping... It's real camping.

"Excuse me..."

After some time had passed, Kaya cautiously came inside.

Every move she made was fraught with tension. Her blanket was slung over her shoulders and tightly wrapped around her body.

I did not respond on purpose. I only squinted my eyes slightly before closing them and pretended to be asleep.

Kaya went to the corner opposite of me and laid down. I could hear the duvet and blanket rubbing against each other.

Suddenly, it was quiet.

Will she be able to sleep well?

I slowly opened my eyes and glanced in Kaya's direction.

'Oh my.'

Tremble

I wasn't sure why, but Kaya's body was shaking violently like a bell. She stared at the empty tent ceiling, her blanket pulled up to her lips.

She was tightly sticking to the opposite corner, making the center of the tent appear very empty.
