I walked toward the camp. When I reached there, I saw a girl standing outside the camp, looking at the blue sky.
Her hair fluttered as the wind blew.
'Wow!'
I stare at her with my eyes fixed on her. She was too beautiful for me and looked like the scenery in front of me was an art.
But... She had loneliness reflected in her eyes, her face seemed sad.
I walked toward her, and whisper in her ear.
"What are you doing?"
"Uwaa!"
She jumped. That was pretty cute.
"S-Sasaki-kun... Wh-Whate are you doing?"
She said, as her cheeks turned red. Her eyes darted around and didn't make eye contact with me. I am a little embarrassed too but, seeing her reaction made me think forgot about my embarrassment.
"I was just looking at you. You were soo cute!"
I said with a glimmer in my eyes.
"Wha-... Thanks..."
She said softly that I hardly managed to grasp on her voice. She started fidgeting. Changing the subject, I said.
"What are you doing?"
"I... I was just looking at the sky."
Her eyes moved toward the Sky and a lonely smile appeared on her face. That smile was cute... but that ached my heart to see it.
"Don't worry, I will fill your loneliness!"
"What?! How can you say soo embarrassing things so easily?"
"Because I love you!"
"Uuu!"
Her cheeks dyed in red.
"Let's head out to finish this quest..."
She said as to change the subject.
"This early?!"
I blinked as I heard that. Anyone can start the quest at their own pace. The only requirement of this quest is to kill 10 monsters, with teamwork.
But even if Sei-chan is strong, that doesn't mean we should head there early. And even in the manga, there were no such things.
That means the world has started to change. I mean, confessing my love was the first thing that changed the story, but...
"Yes, I don't have anything to prepare, if you have anything to do, you can do it now. I am heading out!"
She dashed out in the hot sand, as her skirt flutter by the wind. But damn, it only swayed only a bit and I couldn't see her underwear!
"Wait! I am also coming!"
I chased after her.
*********
'This... This guy is too much!'
I thought as I glanced to my side. He is looking around and hasn't spoken to me. I am keeping a little distance between us. I haven't got that unlucky today, but that's not rare. I got sometimes normal, if I have to say in my words, I also get lucky sometimes that is normal for others.
I always envy people who could speak without thinking and with honesty. Like this guy, saying 'I love you' anywhere.
I mean, can't he just not confess to me that suddenly, my heart will burst out if I have to hear it many times.
Even now, my heart is beating so hard.
"Hey Sei-chan, can't you give me your reply?"
'Wha!"
Sasaki-Kun suddenly spoke, causing me to come back to reality.
"W-What... reply?"
I feign innocence as I tried to dodge the question.
"Reply to my confession!"
He said without any hesitation. Has he confessed to many girls? He doesn't even get embarrassed.
"Isn't it too early?! Give me some time!"
I said as I turned in the opposite direction to his face. I can't even look at his face directly.
"Ok! Ok! I will give you one hour."
"THAT IS TOO SHORT!!"
I unwillingly shouted. He stares at me and...
"Hahaha! Th- Haha!"
Laughed at me. I blankly stare at his face as I felt myself staring at his laughing face, his smile. That made my mouth curve upward.
"Woah!"
"W-What?!"
"Your smile is soo cute, Sei-chan. You should smile always!"
"Hmph!"
Hearing his words made me look in opposite direction again, but I feel my heart being cozy and warm. And his words made me... happy.
"Hehe!"
Without me even knowing, I was smiling. I turned in his direction, but I see him staring at me.
*********
'She is soo cute!'
I thought as I stare at her smile. My heart throbbed violently. My eyes were fixed at her face,and she also looked at me.
She also stares at me. It was like, we are in our own world. But...
Roar!
The horde of monsters came out of nowhere.
"What?!"
Sei-chan looked at the monsters and her face hardened. Her smiling face disappeared and a serious face appeared. Her serious face is also cute but...
"THESE DAMN MONSTERS! I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU! HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY TIME WITH SEI-CHAN!!!"
I shouted at the monsters and charged at them without thinking.
"Wait Sakasi-kun!"
Sei-chan also followed me, no one probably knows but the strongest character next to MC is his best friend that is me.
He hides his power to live a peaceful life and his dream is to live a normal life, but he had no choice to join this academy. And only his best friend i.e MC knows.
But I don't care if Sei-chan knows.
*********
Bang! Boom!
The sound of battle can be heard clearly. Hiroto is surprised, as his eyes are widened. His hands are holding fireball and waterball respectively as he is using those to kill the monsters. He doesn't even know how is he doing. His body is moving automatically.
While Sei is in a daze. She is staring at Hiroto with disbelief in her eyes. How can this guy be so strong, this thought sprung in her mind as he enchanted her body with magic and defeat the monsters.
And the horde of monsters still continues to attack them endlessly, maybe because of Sei-chan's misfortune.
