Wittelle was probably really tired, so she simply leaned her back against the boulder and sat directly on the ground. Don't forget to wave to Liya, pat the position next to him, and signal Liya to rest for a while. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he picked up a large fallen leaf not far away, spread it on the empty seat next to him, and smirked at Liya.

Lia couldn't help but burst out laughing, because Wittel's silly appearance was really cute.

Lea was not polite either, and sat down on the cushion that Wittelle had put up.

The two held hands and snuggled up to each other. Lea lost her haughty aura, and Vetel's deep inferiority complex was completely invisible, like good friends who didn't talk about anything, interdependent and confiding in each other.

"Do you want to continue practicing magic?" "Looking at Wittel, whose head was resting on her shoulder, Ria gently combed her hair with her hand.

"Hmm. I practice secretly when I have time. But now I've only learned a few simple spells. Vetlill closed her eyes slightly and enjoyed. Thinking back to the days when she and Liya learned magic, the two have become good sisters who talk about everything.

"But magic can't be rushed. In addition to a lot of practice, the mindset is also very important, and the more urgent it is, the worse the effect. ”

"However, I want to help Lord Leon. Wittelle remembered that she had caused a conflict that had put Leon in a difficult situation, but she couldn't help herself, and she looked very lost.

"Yes, but you've worked really hard. If Leon found out, he would be happy. Leah comforted Vitrill like a big sister.

"Really?"

"It's true, do you want to check with him?" Liya couldn't help but quipp.

"No, no!" Wittelle shook her head into a rattle.

"Haha!" Wittel's flushed face burst out laughing. "It seems that you already have important people in your heart. ”

"Hmm. It was Lord Leon who saved me from that dark world and treated me like a friend. As long as I was around him, I felt very satisfied. For the sake of Lord Leon, I am willing to do anything. Thinking of Leon, Wittelle naturally smiled happily.

"I envy you. Liya was slightly disappointed, even a little jealous.

"I'm the one to envy. I've always felt that Lia, as a princess, is the right match for Lord Leon, so it's fitting for you to be together!" Vetlielle didn't waver, for she had always thought so.

Liya shook her head and didn't answer, but said to herself: "If I am not by his side one day, you have to take care of him with my share." With that, he squeezed out a smile at Vetel.

"No, there will be a way. Wittelle continued to comfort Lea, but she couldn't tell what the solution was, and tears slowly filled her eyes.

"Alright, let's not talk about that, Leon will be back later. Lea wiped away Vitrelle's tears, why didn't she want to stay by Leon's side all the time. However, her future is not up to her. And what she can be sure of is this: the future given to her by the royal family is definitely not the one she wants.

It didn't take long for Leon to walk back from the direction he had left. Vetlielle and Leah also stood up.

"How's it going, Lord Leon?"

"Well, let's camp here. A short distance east from here there is a small stream that serves as a source of water. In this way, we solved the problem of drinking water. ”

"That's great, let's get started! We need to set up our tents before it gets dark. Ria pulled Vetel's belongings for camp, and finally didn't have to leave.

"Well, you guys are here to get ready, I'll go get the supporting wood, I just saw some when I was looking for water, see if I can use it. "Although I had made preparations beforehand, I was limited to tent cloths and ropes, and I had to find the support I needed to set up the tent on the spot. Otherwise, Vitalill must not be allowed to carry a few large logs on her back.

"Then you have to be careful. The two looked at the setting sun and told Leon.

"Well, you too. Leon turned and re-entered the forest.

In the evening, Lyon, they finally set up their tents.

The three of them sat around a campfire, on which a clay pot was placed, cooking food distributed by the academy.

"Lord Leon, Princess Lea, I can only eat these things now, I'm very sorry. Wittelle looked at the hodgepodge and felt very sorry for them.

Liya shook her head: "No need to apologize. Without Vetel, we wouldn't even have dinner. Besides, it's delicious! ”

"Yes, Vitrelle, you can try it too, it's really delicious. Leon didn't care about the hot mouth, and kept sending it to his mouth, and he was really tired and hungry after a busy day's work.

"Hmm. ”

After eating, the three of them estimated that they were really tired today and planned to rest early, but there was an embarrassing scene.

The three of them huddled in a cramped tent, and if they didn't pay attention, they would run into each other. And there was only one futon brought.

Leon felt very embarrassed at this time. Although I thought about what necessary things I needed to bring, I didn't think that I could only barely accommodate three people because I only considered the weight I could carry. Looking at Lea and Wittel's flushed faces, Leon couldn't hold on.

"Uh...... That one...... I'm sorry, this, this, this wasn't meant to be! I, I didn't think this tent would be so small......" Leon was so nervous that he began to speak intermittently.

"I'm fine......" Wittelle buried her head very low, and her voice became quieter and quieter.

"I don't mind......" Liya's voice was so thin that she couldn't hear it if she didn't listen carefully.

Leon was already very nervous, and he didn't notice what they said.

"Of course, I'll take responsibility!" Leon reassured Lea and Wittel, as if determined.

"Hmm......" Hearing Leon's promise, the two buried their heads lower, not daring to look at Leon.

"Then, you two will sleep in the tent, and I'll go outside to be on guard!"

“......”

Leon quickly slipped out of the tent, leaving only the two who had not yet reacted to each other.

"Whew~" After Leon came out, he climbed up to the boulder next to him and breathed a long sigh of relief. Just because I accidentally touched their bodies, I felt like I had been electrocuted, and a numb feeling rushed to the top of my head. Thinking back to the night in the slave market, and remembering the appearance of Wittel, Leon clearly noticed the changes in his body, and fortunately escaped in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"So, that's what it means to be responsible?" said Liya.

"Probably."

"Forget it, go to sleep. Liya straightened up the futon and lay down.

"Is this really good, Lord Leon is out alone. Wittelle was a little worried.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Even if you let him in now, he won't come in unless the two of us go out. But how much more do you think it's going to be than if he came in? Lea was very calm, or she knew Leon better.

"That's right. ”

"Come on, get into my sister's arms!" Leah grabbed Vitrelle and hugged her tightly.

"......Ahh

Tired from their exhaustion, Lia and Wittelle slept until dawn.

Early in the morning, in a daze, they asked about the smell of smoke, which frightened Lia and Wittelle to jump up directly and hurriedly look for the source of the fire.

When he got out of the tent, he saw that Leon was lighting a fire in front of the tent, and he was shivering and not by the campfire, with his hands under his armpits.

Seeing Leon's embarrassed appearance, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

"Lord Leon, are you alright?" said with a smile, but Wittelle was still very distressed.

"No, it's fine......" Leon replied tremblingly.

"Did you sleep well last night?" asked Lia mischievously, in fact, just by looking at Leon's appearance, she could guess how he was doing and who let him not sleep in the tent.

Leon lifted his pale face, stared at Lia with two dark circles under his eyes, and replied with no affection: "Excellent." ”

"Ah, Lord Leon, what's wrong with you?" Wittelle was taken aback, she had never seen such a haggard Leon.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I slept until midnight last night and was woken up by the cold. ”

"Poof, haha......" Liya couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

"Then you have to prepare breakfast quickly, and it will be better after breakfast. Wittelle hurriedly took out the crockpot and set it up on the campfire.

After breakfast, Leon felt alive at last, and lay contentedly on Wittel's lap.

"Leon, the problem of water is solved, but what about the food? Although I can't starve to death if I don't eat for a few days, it's not a solution. Liya was a little worried.

"It's very difficult for us to hunt if we don't know magic or martial arts. However, ordinary people have ordinary people's methods. "Leon is confident.

"What's the solution?" Lea leaned in, wondering what his plan was.

"In addition to the animals that come out of the deep forest, there are many fungi and wild fruits, which can be eaten. ”

"Really, is it poisonous?" Although these things are edible, I have heard many cases of poisoning.

"Don't worry, I've got you. I used to follow Wendy out every day to pick wild fruits in the Elven Kingdom, and I have long remembered these things. ”

As soon as she heard the woman's name "Wendy", Liya suddenly became alert and chased after her: "Who is Wendy?"

"Uh-huh!" Wittell nodded eagerly, wondering what had happened to Leon before.

"Wendy is an elf princess, a playmate who grew up together. I don't know how it's now. Forget it, let's go, I'll teach you to discern which ones are edible. Leon got up and walked towards the forest.

"There must be a problem!" Ria and Wittrell looked at each other, thinking.

With the help of Lyon's rich experience in the forest, the three of them finally survived the last morning.

It's just that......

"Lord Leon, it doesn't matter to you. Vetlill clasped her hands together in front of her chest, a little nervous.

Leon, who was sitting by the extinguished campfire, looked up and replied very weakly, "Oh, Vitrelle. Don't worry, I'm fine. ”

Seeing Leon's dead fish-like eyes, dark circles, prominent cheekbones, and sunken face, Lea and Wittrell were shocked.

"Ah, Lord Leon!" Wittelle couldn't help it anymore and took Leon into her arms.

Leon's already vague consciousness became even more blurred because of this sudden warmth. I felt like I was running in the sun, laughing and chasing Ria and Wittel, how happy and happy I was. hugged Vetel, who was running slowly, with a soft body and a leisurely fragrance. I couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, this is the kingdom of heaven." ”

"Really, if you don't rest well, you're really going to become a zombie! What a fool!" remembering that no matter how much he and Wittelle persuaded him to spend the night in the tent these past few nights, he was angry and annoyed, but more distressed. Looking at Leon, who was leaning on Vetel's arms, he couldn't wake up for a while.

"Vitrill, I'll get some food nearby, and Leon will leave it to you. "I thought to myself: today is the last day, let him have a good rest.

"Sister Liya, I'd better go, you stay and take care of Lord Leon. Wittelle was about to get up when Ria made a gesture and pointed at Leon.

"If you keep it louder, you're going to wake him up. Don't worry, it's okay. In the past few days, I have memorized the non-toxic food here, so you can just wait here. With that, ignoring Vitrill's objections, he walked straight to the forest.

"Really, one or two are so willful!" Wittelle complained. I thought to myself: It's easy to catch a cold if you lie here in the morning, anyway, they don't need a tent now, so let Leon rest inside.

So, Wittelier slowly moved Leon into the tent, let him sleep on his knees, and helped him cover him with the quilt, and gently combed Leon's somewhat disheveled hair with her hands.

Looking at Leon's sleeping face, he was stunned when he looked at it, and suddenly he didn't even dare to breathe, he could only hear his own gradually accelerating heartbeat.

"Huh~, it turned out to be here, I finally found it!"
