As Autumn was still pondering about Sarah, Mia's voice rang out.
"Hey, Autumn there's a cave there"
Mia pointed at the cave that was 20 meters away from them and agreed immediately since its about to be nightfall.
Autumn nodded and walked ahead with brisk steps followed by Mia.
They soon arrived at the front of the cave, and Autumn first checked the surrounding of the cave making sure no hidden creatures ambush them.
After finding the cave was safe he signaled Mia to come and enter the cave and handed her little sister while he goes out to find some branches and meat to eat.
As for Mia, she took care of her sister and place her down gently in her embrace while humming a song as she gently caresses her sister's hair.
Sarah's face was small like a porcelain doll making everyone who saw her have the urge to protect her and care for her like a glass that would break with a single mistake. She had a slight smile on her face as she sleeps tightly in her sister's bosom.
As Autumn came back, he saw this beautiful scene making him smile brightly. So he gently walks to the side as to not disturb this beautiful atmosphere and started to gather rock to start a campfire. But weirdly enough Mia never notices a sound behind her like Autumn didn't have a presence like a ghost that was just minding his own business.
After finishing the preparations he put the twigs in the center of the campfire and started to click two flints to start a fire, he does this smoothly like he practiced this a million times. Autumn couldn't help but remember the experience in the first 30 years in the mental world, he tried his best to survive their treating it like it's his last life, so he learned a lot of survival skills from various hunters and adventurers he meets along the way of his journey.
But Autumn snapped out quickly while preparing to roast the horn rabbits he caught.
"I wish I bought some spices it will be much more delicious to eat"
Autumn signed silently with regret.
"Well, at least there's food to eat it's better than nothing after all."
Autumn cheered silently.
After cooking for 30 minutes the roast rabbits started to emit a delicious aroma spreading silently through the cave.
As Mia was still humming she smelled an aromantic smell and her stomach gurgled loudly making her blush and remembered that she hadn't eaten since this afternoon.
Sarah on the other hand sniffed like a dog and started drooling in her dreams making her look comically cute. Then she drowsily opens her eyes and ignorantly looks around like a just woken kitten.
Sarah stood up wobbling and started to walk to the delicious aroma like a dog and soon came to Autumn's side.
Autumn saw all of this and screamed in his mind.
"SO GOD DAMN CUTE!!!!"
But Autumn doesn't show any other expression except for his eyes that were filled with amusement.
Autumn stuffed a piece of meat in her mouth and watch her eat. Sarah was still drowsy so she subconsciously eats the piece meat she received and made a happy face.
"Wahh!!! So delicious"
Sarah murmured happily and open her mouth to be feed.
Autumn like a butler put another piece of meat in her mouth while Mia was watching this with a stun expression until her stomach growled loudly.
Gurgle!
Autumn looked at her and gave her the other roasted rabbit. She took it gratefully and started eating while Autumn kept feeding Sarah like a father who would to his child.
This strange image was presented to
Mia making her doubt the scene she saw this afternoon. The contrast is just too huge, the time she met him he was like a demon from hell who is used to slaughter but the same boy in front her seems like a doting father taking of her daughter making her confused.
As for Autumn who is oblivious to Mia's thoughts he kept feeding Sarah until she stopped eating and yawn like a kitten. Then Sarah rubbed her eyes and walked into Autumn's chest and cuddled up like its the safest place in the world.
Autumn was stun by this development and smiled lightly while caressing her hair gently. He then hummed a lullaby, in his previous life this lullaby is called Twinkle Twinkle Little Star which is popular among the children to be put into sleep.
As he hummed this song, Sarah snuggled deeper into his embrace, her face had a slight smile while sleeping soundly.
On the side, Mia had a complicated expression on her face as she watched Autumn hummed and the sleeping princess in his embrace. As Mia could remember Sarah would never let any male person touch her except her father of course. This is the first time she saw Sarah take the initiative to snuggle up to the opposite gender albeit she was still ignorant of the situation if maybe Autumn is a girl since he had a whiter skin than her.
Autumn then lean against the walls of the cave and carefully move as to not wake up the little girl in his embrace and preparing to sleep when he noticed someone staring at him. He turns to look and saw Mia looking at him with a complicated gaze, he chuckled lightly and put his finger over his mouth and made a 'be silent' gesture.
Shhhh...
Autumn then prepared to sleep not caring if Mia understood it or not and reminisce of his previous life where he took a part-time job of caring for kindergarten children it was the most memorable time he had in that life.
Seeing that Autumn was sleeping Mia then found a corner and tried to sleep as well.
Midnight...
As Autumn, Mia and Sarah were dreaming, a blood gas started to cover both Autumn and Sarah while some blood gas drifts into the direction of Mia. Just like the other times, it formed a pure red cocoon but it was twice as big and much redder too like it was about to turn into a substance. Mia was also covered in a blood-colored cocoon but it was much dimmer than Autumn and Sarah.
