I pretended it wasn't because I was embarrassed, but he tilted his head and concentrated on tightening my waist again.

After adding his index finger to make a little gap, he finished setting it up.

"I think that's enough. You can take it off now."

"Thank you. You take good care of me. I feel so reassured."

He also helped me take off my backpack. He speaks softly but acts kindly. He is sincere in helping me whenever I ask for something.

Why did my brother treat this person like a weirdo and tell me not to reveal that I was his younger sister?

He's such a nice person.

"I'm copying what I learned from seonbae[1]. He was the one who took care of me like this."

"Seonbae?"

"Yes. I didn't know anything at the time of my awakening, but he helped me a lot."

That seonbae... Is it my brother?

I heard that Hunter Chae Dong-hwa awakened and joined the Association immediately after completing the academy.

If he were copying the way my brother helped him, it was not unreasonable to treat him like this.

Before I became Hunter, my brother took care of me all the time on behalf of my busy parents.

"That's a nice guy..."

"Yes, he was a good man."

After a brief conversation, a moment of silence came. It was ambiguous to ask or put words on this.

"Ah! What should we bring?"

I turned the subject around, clapping my hands to change the slightly awkward air.

"How about fish cake soup[2]?"

"That's good."

I was busy taking care of the food. I should pack at least three servings just in case.

'But were there enough tents?'

[Backpacking Lightweight Tent

- Available for 2 people

- Installation Instructions (Folding ▼)]

For now, 2 people could use the tent. The medium tent used at the Campsite is large enough for 2 people and can accommodate 4 people.

If I set up a tent while maintaining my Skills, it would act as a shelter, so I felt like I had to share a tent with him.

I have other supplies to put 2 tents in my backpack, so I think I'll weigh more than 10kg, and I can't put the person who helped me to sleep outside.

'But is this okay...?'

Even if it was inevitable, I wondered if I could sleep in the same tent with him.

'Haa, what's going on?'

However, I soon shook my head and erased my anxiety.

We won't be able to reach our bodies even if we each fall asleep in our sleeping bags anyway.

Most of all, I don't think someone who doesn't seem interested in anything other than Quest buffs would do something to me.

I haven't seen him for a long time, but he was a reliable person to me.

The day had come. It was the first time in a long time that I went outside the campsite.
