He doesn't know it's a huge mistake to ignore hand to hand combat training since he thought he is too good with it after being an alpha until Lune's magic goes wrong and he is helplessly carried away from her, with the ugly toad instead of her and he curses himself from not being able to resist from the flood of water. When he finally gets back to his feet, the toad starts jumping and he sighs, hoping there's nothing else that distracts Lune from her task and he stretches his fingers, "time for some playtime."
Meanwhile, Lune is still a little shocked by how she can make such an amateur mistake just from the appearance of the toad. She blames the ugliness of it and starts focusing again, hoping there's no friends of the toads to come over when she is almost done with it and the moment she feels that it's enough, she launches a huge water orb towards the sky and it bursts, and it looks like it starts raining from how much it's pouring. She giggles when the water drops tickle her skin, and after a few minutes , she realizes it's still pouring and regrets not getting somewhere else to take cover from.
Once done with the toad, Chilve tears off the mana core from it and keeps it in his bag, and starts sprinting towards the spot where he remembers he and Lune were. When he sees her, he doesn't expect her to be drenched and he almost pokes at his own eyes when he can pretty much see what Lune is wearing underneath from how soaks her clothes are.
Her eyes widen and starts smiling wide when she sees him, "you're back! Is the toad down?" He doesn't answer and just turns away, making her confused a little and decides to ask further, "what's wrong? Did that toad do something to you? It did cast a magic spell on you, didn't it?"
"Your clothes."
"Huh?"
"I can pretty much see what's inside when you're this wet," she looks down at herself and screams when she is pretty much naked with how see through her clothes are when wet, and covers herself with her hands as much as possible, "don't look."
"I'm trying not to look."
"You did look, didn't you?"
"I turned away as soon as possible," he takes a few deep breaths to calm his raging hormones down and he tries to find a temporary solution, "did you bring a coat?"
"Yes, it's inside my bag," she points at the bag on the ground where Chilve carried for her earlier and he quickly rummages through it, and luckily the coat is right at the top, sparing him from finding her inners or something embarrassing like that and he passes it to her without looking, "your coat. You can change out of these when we reach the guild for a rest."
He can feel the coat getting taken and she quickly covers herself as much as possible, and after being satisfied with her current look, she says, "you can turn around now."
'She looks really cute bundled up like this.' Chilves smiles at her current look and he asks, "are you all done with the watering?"
"Yes. I made sure to cover all of the field."
"Then let's go back to the owner for the reward and we should hurry back to the guild so you can take a warm shower."
After bidding farewell to the owner, they quickly walk back to town, where Lune is eager for some rest while Chilve is eager to look for somewhere quiet to calm his mind down after the spectacle by Lune earlier. The moment they enter the adventurer guild, Jane sees them, "oh no! What happened to you, Lune? You don't look well."
"She just got splashed by a huge water orb magic," Lune thanks Chilve's quick wits silently on not mentioning that she drenched herself, "can she use your shower or something? I doubt she can use the ones opened for all the adventurers, since there are men all over there."
"Sure! I have a private one that I use and lends it to some female adventurers for free. Come on, let's get you warmed up before you catch a cold."
Once the girls are out of sight, Chilve takes a seat at an empty table and starts thinking on what they should do for their lodgings tonight and when some people around starts murmuring, he opens his eyes to see Ford is standing right in front of him, "my lord, I have important news to report."
"Not now. I have important matters to attend to."
"At least listen! I heard sightings of Adam meeting up with the other pack privately without informing anyone of us on what the contents of the meetings," the alpha finally gets more interested in this news and he gestures, "go on, what do you think he is doing?"
"He might be selling us off."
"What else? He might also be trying to be a double spy and get us some valuable info. What is he going to do ruining a pack that he plans to lead?"
They stare at each other for some time before Ford bows a little and says, "then I will continue watching over him, just in case."
"Of course. I will be back to the pack soon after I make sure my potential mate will be safe travelling without me."
"When are you bringing her to the pack?"
'I do hope it's soon.' "She's a human. She will need some time to get used to me before I can even throw everything on her."
Ford finally leaves and when Chilve is alone again thinking about whether he should get more related requests on travelling, it seems that Lune is done with her shower and joins him at the table before tapping to get his attention, "what are you thinking so deeply about?"
"On how beautiful you are."
"I thought you're a wolf. A wolf should be more on action rather than words," a huge bowl of porridge is placed, where Lune seems to be excited while Chilve is just frowning, "I bet you're hungry after your first job. Eat up! Your license will be done soon, since it's approaching the end of the day."
"It's going to be evening already? We should probably start thinking about our sleeping arrangement for today now," he stares at how Lune is scooping and eating the porridge like she is used to this kind of food, and he asks, "I thought the palace serves better and more delicious food. Are you feeling really hungry?"
"Well, I miss foods like this, simple and delicious," and she even licks the spoon when there's a piece of carrot stuck on it, "I might be special since birth, but that doesn't mean I won't love to eat foods like this."
'This must be why I love you.' He takes another empty bowl and scoops a little porridge, and he takes a few bites before asking, "do you want to choose our next request?"
"What kind do we have available right now?"
"Looking for something, someone, or getting certain spoils from certain magical beasts, or just simply helping out with their work like the request earlier," Lune is still eating with gusto, and he asks, "is your bowl tastier than mine or something?"
"Nonsense, it's from the same one."
When Chilve sees there's some porridge stuck on Lune's mouth, he leans closer.
