<span style="font-weight:400">"You sure you want something like that?" Keith tilted his head. Herrick nodded, "Carolyn was the one who suggested straws when we fought against the boss. It''s simple and effective."
<span style="font-weight:400">"What if you get Alfia?" Gabriel grinned. It was not guaranteed he would get a safe pick.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Herrick''s expression froze when he heard that. He could already imagine the destructiveness she would cause.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please, I don''t want to do that as well." No way was she going to be paired up with him, "I''ve already had enough with that cuff debacle." There was no need for more.
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone chuckled when they heard that. Keith thought, "Let''s go with these pairs; Gabriel and Herrick, Jack and Sarah, Melor and Faelyn, then Alfia, Arlo, and Carolyn."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? Why is there a three-person squad?" "Because the three of you are the worst sleepers," Keith answered. Alfia was one of those people who slept in.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What about me?" Carolyn frowned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because you get cranky." Keith knew his childhood friend all too well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t-" "Remember thest time you bit me because I tried to wake you up?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That was when we were kids!" Carolyn''s cheeks turned red. Keith nodded, "But I do want you guys to stay together." The trio was a good group.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, doesn''t that mean you will be watching alone?" Faelyn frowned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." That meant he would be watching it all alone.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Will you be fine with that?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I can do it." Keith had done it for some time. There was no need to worry about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''ll take the first watch then," Gabriel raised his hand, and the rest nodded. They entered their tents to rest.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, it''s your turn to watch." In the middle of the night, Melor pushed Keith''s shoulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Keith got out of his tent and sat by the fire. There was nothing much he needed to do. Watch and sense if any monsters approach and call for them. As he continued to watch it, someone came out of a tent,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you up?" Keith looked at Carolyn. Her group had already taken her shift.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can''t go to sleep."
<span style="font-weight:400">Really? Keith didn''t believe her one bit. That yawning from her mouth said otherwise. Carolyn sat beside Keith and looked at the fire with him. Keith shook his head, "You need to get more sleep."
<span style="font-weight:400">"And I said I''m not tired." Carolyn shook her head and scolded, "I''m your party member. Don''t treat me like a child."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m not." "Well, you are treating me like a child."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." An eerie silence formed between the two before Keith asked, "By the way, where did you learn that magic?" He had been wondering about it throughout the exploration. It was the same magic she used to deal with the golem. However, it was different. Like it was sharper.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I learned it from someone." Carolyn smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who did you learn it from?" "Just someone."
<span style="font-weight:400">Not going to say anything. Knowing how stubborn Carolyn was, there was no way she would spill the name out. Keith sighed, "But don''t overexert yourself. That magic seems to take a lot out of you." Keith noticed it. The magic took a lot of mana. It was not normal at all.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t worry about it. I can handle it. He told me I''m capable of it." Carolyn grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." I hope so.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are you doing right now?" Carolyn looked down to where Keith was staring at some paper.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want to freshen my mind up. We''re going to hit the 3rd floor soon. I want to keep everyone safe." The middle of the 3rd floor. That was his end goal. After that, they were going to return.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You worry about us too much."
<span style="font-weight:400">"True. But sometimes being more cautious is important," Keith smiled as he continued to look through the things there. Carolyn sighed as she leaned on him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are you doing?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Going to bed?" "Didn''t I tell you to go to bed before?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is better," Carolyn chuckled. Keith shook his head as he continued to look through the papers.
