Chapter 12: Growth

About ten minutes later, Linas dragged the Yellow Sand Lion with a rope.

"Sister, you're back—oops!" Kaos had just walked up to say something nice, when Linas landed a punch on Kaos's head.

"You didn't tell me that the Yellow Sand Lion could run! Linas clenched her fists and looked at Kaos angrily, who looked innocent.

"I don't know about this, it's not mentioned in the textbook, after all, who would be bored and come to the desert to find trouble with this kind of monster. ”

"Hmph, I'm really. Linas said, hugging.

"Then you push it back. ”

With that, Linas put down the rope in her hand and walked away.

Kaos glanced at the lion next to him, who was many times heavier than he didn't know, and showed an aggrieved expression.

"Okay......"

......

After returning to the makeshift camp, without further ado, Linas directly took out the materials she had prepared and began to prepare dinner, and from her skillful movements, it was clear that it was not the first time she had done so.

"I'm tired!" Lynas said as she took her things out and stretched, "Kaos, I'm tired, I'll leave it to you." ”

"Ahh

"But...... I won't do that!"

"No, I'll teach you!" said Linas smiling, touching her chin with her right hand.

"This ...... Really??" Kaos looked at Linas with a questioning look.

"If you want to do it, you can do it, why is there so much nonsense, you can't let me kill the monster again, and let me do the dinner again!" Linas was obviously a little impatient, and made an unreasonable expression.

"This ......" Kaos also had nothing to say, "well...... then"

In this way, Linas directed Kaos to make dinner with the Yellow Sand Lion, and in the whole process, Linas only moved his mouth, and all the past was done by Kaos alone.

"First of all, we have to make sure that what places can be eaten and where we can't, and then we must choose what we can't eat and see if there are other uses. ”

"Eh, don't cut it too thin here, it will affect the taste, oops, stupid, you can't cook!"

"Okay, okay, okay, just throw it away if you don't want it! Anyway, there's no point in keeping it, and it's still in the way. ”

"Stop, that's it, that's how it should ...... here"

......

I don't know why, watching Kaos cook, Linas felt as if she was more tired, she really wanted to do it herself, if she had come by herself, I'm afraid it would have been done a long time ago.

"Okay, eldest sister, don't stand and talk without back pain, it's complicated. Kaos was about to cry.

Linas said with a look of disgust: "It's complicated there, it's clear that you're too stupid, hum!"

......

Finally, thanks to Kaos's unremitting efforts and the patience of Linas, Kaos finally completed this dish about the Yellow Sand Lion alone.

"Wow! Brother Kaos has succeeded!"

"yes!! yes it worked!"

"It smells so good!"

The children who were watching Kaos cheered and died.

"Reluctantly, I'll leave the cooking to you. Linas crossed her hands and looked at Kaos on the ground.

"Ahh

"After all, you can't let your child eat dry food all the time, it's not healthy, and it's actually good to change the taste once in a while. ”

"But I ......"

"Huh, do you have an opinion?" said Linas, who shook her fist at Kaos, who swallowed and was forced to nod.

"Clear, understood......"

"That's right!"

"Sister Linas, can you start eating?" asked a six-year-old child, pulling at Linas's clothes.

Linas looked at the child and smiled, then she leaned down and touched the child's head, and said like a gentle big sister, "Of course, let's go eat with the other children!"

"Yay!!"

The children cheered as everyone began to enjoy the dinner that Kaos had prepared for everyone.

"Hmph~~~ It's so cute! It's up, and if you don't get up, it's gone. ”

Kaos got up and glanced at Linas, then he smiled, "Linas is very suitable for raising children! ”

"Eh, eh!!, what are you talking about!!

"Really, really, and ......," Kaos suddenly couldn't help laughing, "you must look good in your wedding dress." ”

"! I don't want to think about getting married! Okay, let's go eat! You're hungry too. ”

"Hmm. ”

......

After a busy day, it's finally time to rest.

There are a lot of children, and although it is not as dangerous as it was in the desert before Stanro, it is not ruled out that there will be dangers, so at night, Kaos and Linas take turns keeping vigil.

Of the only two tents, Linas made sure the children were asleep and walked out, while Kaos was cleaning up the scraps of what had just been eaten.

"Go sleep for a while! I'll keep watch over here, after all, I need you to protect everyone during the day. Kaos said as he cleaned up the garbage in front of him.

"What are you talking about!What if there's any danger!But there are seventeen children here, how can I sleep!" Linas glanced at Kaos with a reproachful look.

"It's you, if you don't rest now to recuperate my spirits, how will you take over my shift in a while!"

Kaos complained, "Why don't you go to bed first, or you won't call me if I slept like yesterday." ”

"Doesn't it mean that you slept soundly! You kid is embarrassed to say that I didn't sleep all night last night. ”

"Who's to blame for this......"

"What! It is clear that Linas is once again ready to use a weapon called "violence".

"Alright, alright! I'll do it!" said Kaos, finishing the food scraps. Afterward, Kaos returned to the campfire, wrapped himself in a blanket, and prepared for bed.

Linas, on the other hand, watched Kaos fall asleep by the campfire.

......

"Huh...... I said, aren't you sleepy?"

After a while, Kaos spoke.

"Sleepy, of course not, okay boy, don't talk to me about this, believe it or not, I'll drug you in a while. ”

Kaos whispered, "But since I first met you, I haven't seen you rest, obviously there are other people here!"

If you always want to rely on others, such an adventurer will not be able to go long. ”

"But...... Isn't it okay to rely on someone else? You didn't call me yesterday on purpose?"

"Of course, I can't bear to see you sleeping so comfortably!"

Kaos laughed, "Linas is really gentle!

"Eh, you kid!"

Linas walked up to Kaos and kicked Kaos.

"Oops!"

"You can't sleep, believe it or not, I've roasted you!"

"Sleep, sleep, sleep. ”

"Really, do you have to say that. ”

After that, Kaos didn't speak again.

It wasn't until Linas saw that Kaos was really asleep that she smiled with satisfaction, and then she stood up and stretched.

"I'm so tired! This day is finally over......! Why, some sleepy?"

Linas sat down, but after she sat down, Linas felt a sense of sleepiness that made her unable to open her eyes for a while.

"No, no, can't sleep...... In case everyone is in danger...... In case ......"

Linas tried to use magic to sober herself, but when she tried to cast it, Linnas felt like she had no strength in her body at all, as if she had done something very tiring to make her tired.

"I ......"

At this moment, Kaos suddenly stood up, came to Linas's side, and draped Linas with the blanket on his body.

"Don't fight so hard, get some rest! Tonight, it's enough to have me. ”

Linas vaguely saw Kaos's figure, although it was very vague and her consciousness was not clear, but, after confirming that it was Kaos, she didn't know why, she felt unparalleled relief.

Then ...... Take a break!

The vigil was a very boring, tedious thing, Kaos never thought that he would have such a day to keep vigil for others, but if it was all for this big sister who took care of herself, then she should have done it a long time ago.

.

Challenge, this is perhaps something that can make every adventurer's blood boil, and everyone who embarks on an adventure will want to have a hearty adventure.

Endless battles will not rest until death, I used to think so, but then ...... I was wrong......

......

On that day, if it weren't for the ridiculous challenge I made when I was young and vigorous, maybe everyone wouldn't have been.

"Skeleton Knight, what's so powerful, I'm going to defeat it today. ”

This stupid fellow raised her sword among her companions, like a brave man who fought against the Demon King, and tried to do something that was impossible to do, but then, she lost.

Lying in a pool of blood, she could only see her companions dying for herself, and she was no longer able to pick up the broken sword in her hand.

"Let's go, take Linas with you!"

"We were in the way first, and then we met at the camp. ”

"Don't worry! We'll be back. ”

......

When the girl woke up, she saw that her companion was no longer breathing, but even so, he carried herself back to the safe camp, and the girl could only stare at him in a daze.

"Hugh...... Huel, Hugh, don't lie to me, don't lie to me! Huel! Huel!!!"

If you were more cautious, if you were more prepared, maybe it wouldn't be like this......

Adventure is not just a thrilling experience, it is a test that can teach you to grow, and death is the greatest experience for you.

"I don't want to lose any more companions!"

In my mind, another figure appeared, a young man with a mask and some cowardice.

One day, he will embark on an adventure of his own.

Someday the two of us will also go our separate ways.

So now, at least...... At least teach him how to live!
