Chapter 124 Escort Mission (Part III)
With Olivia's cooking, no one could complain that we took the first shift. The night was already in, and everyone had begun to sleep.
Olivia and I would watch out for two hours before informing the next person to watch for us.
The both of us were leaning on our artifact, it was pretty cold during this time, and Olivia was hugging me for warmth.
"Olivia, your plan tonight might have to be shortened." She looked at me and asked what I meant. Did she forget what she wanted earlier?
"You said that you would make me work extra hard tonight." When I said that, she remembered.
"Why not?" She was displeased by what I had said.
"If we wake up late, it will be over."
"At most, we could only do a few rounds before going to sleep." Olivia had calmed down hearing me say that, but she was still disappointed by what I said.
While expressing our love for each other, a few monsters appeared. It wasn't even an hour before our time yet.
Luckily the monsters here were something I could take on without waking the others up. But I'm afraid we might have a sleepless night.
If stronger monsters appeared during the shift of others, they might have to wake us up, which would be a pain.
The strongest of the bunch is at the peak of a third rank. All I needed to do was instantly kill the leader, and the rest would run.
Shooting a quick beam at the lizard-looking monster's head, my beam penetrated its skull, instantly killing it.
With the leader dead, the other lizards had scattered. They knew they would be easily defeated, seeing how their leader died.
The battle was as quick as I did it with your mom... Sorry, bad joke.
I didn't want this battle to be noticed by the others, so I quickly grabbed the corpse of the peak-rank three lizards and put it in my storage bag.
"Charlie, how strong are you exactly?" While I was always with Olivia, my strength was rapidly increasing. Olivia couldn't tell how powerful I was precisely just from this battle.
"I'm as powerful as a mid-ranking fourth-rank magician during the day." There was no reason to lie to Olivia.
"Don't you think that's unfair?" She sighed and smiled warmly, happy about my progress.
"Life is unfair, Olivia," I grabbed her head toward my chest and gently patted it. Olivia, you innocent child, there isn't anything fair in life.
"Geez, you don't need to treat me as a child." Olivia had pretended to be mad at my intimate contact.
"But you like this feeling, don't you?" If she didn't, she would have resisted me.
Olivia was too flustered by my teasing, even if she was someone who was highly perverted. She hasn't changed much. That was what I loved about her.
Two hours had passed, and it was the next person to guard for the night. Only two more attacks had appeared, but they were weaker than the lizards we had fought.
Waking up the next person, we both went to our tent. "Olivia, even if we can't overdo it, we could still do a few rounds." She nodded at my suggestion, hoping we could.
The next day, Olivia and I were wearing our sleeping clothes. It was early in the morning, and Kimi had woken us up. It was a good thing that we kept our activities limited.
"Olivia, wake up. After breakfast, we need to leave." Olivia, who was used to me waking her up, had opened her eyes.
"Charlie..?" She was a bit dizzy from waking up, and it would only take a few minutes before she would be fully awake.
Changing my clothes, I also went to change hers. Groping Olivia's breast, she let out a soft moan. But in the end, that had woken her up completely.
With Olivia awake, the both of us left the tent. We were turning our tent into a small capsule.
After turning our tent into a capsule, we went to Kayla to check when we would depart. Getting to Kayle, most of the people on the trip were already there.
"Let's eat first while we wait for the others." Kayla had looked at Olivia queuing her to make the food.
Olivia nodded and went to a corner with me, who hadn't picked this up. I was laughing at the sight of this. The proud and serious Kayla was distressed, seeing that Olivia wasn't going to feed them.
Many workers had asked Olivia if they could make something for them. Olivia being the nice girl she was, had done so, and it wasn't a big deal in the end.
After breakfast, our journey continued. Kayla was grumpy that she didn't eat any of the food that Olivia made. If she had asked, I'm sure Olivia would've made some for her.
It was too late now. We had already eaten, and it was time for us to move. We started our daily walk, which should take four to five days to arrive.
"Olivia, when Kayla asked us to have breakfast, I think she wanted a taste." I had whispered this to Olivia for only her ears to hear.
"Really?" She checked up on Kayla to see Kayla staring at Olivia.
Olivia, who saw this, looked away immediately. Just by looking at Kayla, Olivia knew what I said was true.
I wished there was a way for us to travel faster. I had told myself that I hated to travel. I should have stuck to the words of what I said about the forest exam.
"Kimi, how do you not get bored of this?" I was bored enough to ask Kimi how she could stand this kind of commission.
"Just don't think about it." ... That wasn't helpful. Olivia, beside me, also had her shoulder slump hearing that.
It was wrong for me to ask Kimi since I was bored. I just kept on talking to people that were near me.
