Chapter 84: Escape? (1/2)
”Why are there no monsters attacking us?”
Lawrend couldn't help but ask after walking for quite a while.
”They won't dare attack me. Just my demonic aura is enough to scare them away.”
Aezel explained to him.
”Demonic aura? I don't feel anything like that.”
Lawrend said to her in confusion.
”You're not a monster, are you?”
Aezel asked in retort.
”Y-Yeah…”
Lawrend nodded his head awkwardly.
”Alright. We're sleeping here.”
Aezel stopped before a pile of leaves.
”Isn't that too barbaric?”
Lawrend asked her with a furrow of his eyebrows. He doesn't think that it was a good idea to sleep on the forest floor. It would be shiveringly cold at night.
”What? Do you have a better idea?”
Aezel turned to him and asked with a raised eyebrow.
”Can you help me get three small branches?”
Lawrend looked around before saying to her.
”Sure. But, why?”
Aezel nodded her head but asked in curiosity.
”I'll make us a tent.”
Lawrend replied to her with a smile.
”A tent? Fufufu. Show me.”
Aezel looked at Lawrend blankly before she laughed blissfully. Aezel pointed her finger to the trees above them, and a red arc of lightning jumped from her finger to the tree.
BOOM
The small tree branch she aimed for fell to the ground slowly as it was parachuted by the leaves with a small thud.
”Agh… Forget it. Let's just sleep on the leaves.”
Aezel held her stomach in pain after insta-casting her magic.
”Aezel!”
Lawrend helped her up in worry. To be honest, he doesn't even know why he was helping her at this point.
”Don't touch me!”
Aezel slapped his hand away.
”O-Okay…”
Lawrend pulled his hand back slowly in shock. She didn't respond this bad when he grabbed her chest earlier. Women are weird.
”Hahh… hah... I'm sorry. It was just so sudden.”
Aezel stood up as she panted and apologized to him.
”N-No. It's alright.”
Lawrend replied with a stutter.
”Anyways… we're sleeping here.”
Aezel lay on the ground, tired.
”O-Okay…”
Lawrend's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to her cleavage. It was emphasized with her body laying sideways.
”Stop staring so much.”
Aezel suddenly said to him. Even though her eyes were closed, she was able to sense his gaze.
”!”
Lawrend immediately turned his head away when he heard her. He laid on the ground and also did it sideways. Though, he faced her. It was basically a free view at this point.
”...”
