After having entrusted all work to Stone and Bia, I suddenly noticed I had nothing to do.
Although I said I had important things to do, truth is there was no such things.
The Dungeon functions were working pretty well without any need for constant monitoring, I had done my part to solve the food problem, the traps in the entrance would hold any amount of orcs that came to hit us (or at least that's what I imagined), and there was no urgent matter that I needed to attend.
In short, right now I was totally free to do anything I wanted.
That should be great, but for me who had been doing one task after another, this sudden lack of things to do resulted in the hardest question I had yet to face: "What to do when you got nothing to do?"
So I sat on the chair in the farming camp and watched the kids playing in the field.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Nothing came to mind, nothing but a feeling of emptiness.
So I started to meditate in this feeling, analyzing why would I be feeling empty and what exactly was the emptiness that I was feeling and my mind grew heavier and heavier and finally...I fell asleep.

An unknown amount of time passed and then someone woke me up, no actually it was a duo.
"Hey sleepy head, wake up!"
"Should I try that legendary awakening method of waking him up by giving him a kiss?"
"No, no, no. I can't let you take him for yourself while he is completely defenseless."
"Why? Are you jealous? No problem, sis. Let's do it together!"
"Eh!?"
"Come on! Don't be shy! I know you also have been waiting for this!"
"Wh-what? N-no, of course not!"
"Sis. Although right now we can play around like this, remember there is a war right on our door."
"What does this have to do with anything?"
"It has to do with everything! Since it's War, we don't know if we will be dead or alive the very next day!"
"Yeah, but..."
"Sis! You want to die without ever feeling love?"
"No, this..."
"Die without ever feeling the embrace of a man?"
"Well, I never..."
"What about the sounds coming out of the toilet last night?"
"!!!!"
"How was it again? Oh Plate, please p-"
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't say anymore!!!"
"Plate is a great guy! He will surely treat us gently."
"Yeah, I know..."
"Then come on! It will be fun! You take his upper lips and I will take his lower one! Or you want the lower one?"
"L-l-lower one!? No way! No way! We can't do this in the middle of the field!"
"Why not? It's already night! Everybody had already stopped working and gone to bed! No one will see!"
"How do you know? Inside here there is no day and night cycle, even if a few people went to bed, it's impossible to tell!"
"Woman intuition!"
"I'm also a woman, and I'm not feeling anything! Also, no matter if you are right or wrong, as long as someone else comes here for anything both our lives will be over!"
"Fine! Then let's bring him somewhere safe first!"
"Won't he wake up?"
"Don't worry, he's been sleeping with all the screams and crying from the kids playing around, a little bit of shaking shouldn't wake him up!"
"ok..."
I was honestly pretty interested on where this was going, so I made sure to keep quiet with my eyes closed and let the situation develop, and just as my expectations were rising...
""Kyaaaa!""
Bang!
"Wahhh!!!"
The two dropped the chair, making me fall.
"Ouch...."
"Plate, are you OK!?"
"Yeah, I'm... fine..."
I opened my eyes and saw the twins with bright red faces as if they were catch doing something bad.
"I-I see... We were just checking on you when you suddenly fell from the chair."
"Y-yeah, that's right!"
"I see..."
The two couldn't look straight at my eyes, and talked while looking all over the place.
"W-well, it's already late, you should go to bed."
"R-right, it's late, so go to bed."
As the talk proceeded their face seem to get brighter and brighter red...
"Hmm..."
"Then, that's it. Good night, Plate!"
"Good night!"
And finally they ran away...
Damn! What did I do wrong!?
Should I have woke up from the beginning?
No, no, no, that would have never worked.
Damn! Why did they let go of the chair!?
Sigh....
As I sighed, I looked down and saw my pants, it seems like my expectations were not the only thing that was rising...
It can't be helped...
My luck sucks...
T_T
Forget it, since I am a sage, I might as well practice magic now, let's go back to the Core...
And so, I practiced magic until the day rise again.
