<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Why do you sound so relieved?
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s a relief. I thought I didn''t make it in time." Keith had been here for three days at most. In his mind, there was a clock ticking down. The more time he took, the more danger Scarlet''s friend was in.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Was that the only thing you have in your mind?!" Scarlet retorted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kinda." Keith chuckled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I was the one who tried to ruin your reputation!" Why aren''t you mad at me?! Why aren''t you yelling at me?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh. I don''t really care about that." Keith shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aren''t you mad about how I tried to singe you?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s cool! I used healing magic." Keith pumped his fist. With some healing magic, that burned spot was healed quickly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why aren''t you mad?!" Scarlet couldn''t hold it in as she continued to ask.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because I forgive you." Keith smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re rushing over here like a madman, and telling me all this shows you''re remorseful about your actions. I forgive you." There was no point in holding anger over the girl. That tired expression showed how worried she was about him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Scarlet was going to cry. How could you be like this? That smile of his reminded her so much of Selk. How could he be so forgiving in this situation? However, something else resounded at the campsite.
<span style="font-weight:400">GRRRRRR
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." That one sound had caused everyone to go silent. Scarlet''s cheeks turned red as she held her stomach.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keithughed, "Haha!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can you notugh?" Scarlet red. How could heugh in this situation?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did you have anything to eat?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, I didn''t take any breaks. I came here as quickly as I could."
<span style="font-weight:400">"You didn''t eat anything for two days?" Keith stoppedughing, startled by her words.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." That silence was intense.
<span style="font-weight:400">How were you able to move like that for two days? Not eating for two days would have caused his reactions to slow down. No wonder she was so sluggish.
<span style="font-weight:400">"If you run all the way here, have some of this." Keith handed her the stew. He had prepared this for their meal.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Thank you." Scarlet didn''t mind as she took it. As she drank it, a warmness seeped into her body. Delicious.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" In a matter of seconds, the stew had disappeared from her bowl. She turned to Keith and asked, "...Can I get more?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." Keith scooped some more for her. It was a calm and peaceful meal as the two ate. After finishing the food, Scarlet slowly began to drift off.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Go to bed. I will be on the lookout."
<span style="font-weight:400">"But-" "It''s fine. Get your rest first." Keith was gentle as he ced the nket over her body.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Okay." Scarlet drifted off. Keith was going to head outside, but he noticed something odd. Scarlet was holding his wrist tightly. Eh? He was going to move,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ngh." That caused Scarlet to whimper slightly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Hah, I will have to use mana sense. There was no way he could go out now.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ngh." The next day, Scarlet slowly woke up from her sleep. When she did,
<span style="font-weight:400">I feel refreshed. It had been a long time since she had felt like this. After Selk was bedridden, she had never gotten a good wink of sleep. Today was different. A lot was off her shoulders. As she walked out of the tent, she saw Keith cooking again.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you." Scarlet sat beside him and watched him work. The grin on Keith''s face was blinding. It was childlike and also full of curiosity. How could he make such a face?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is that your familiar?" Talking with Keith the entire time, she didn''t notice the white owl perched atop the tree.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. She''s Aria. She was my father''s familiar, but she''s my familiar now."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see." So this is the blizzard owl.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, here''s today''s breakfast. One omelet with sausage and potatoes on the side!" Keith handed a te over to Scarlet.
<span style="font-weight:400">Aria already had a te as she nibbled. Scarlet followed suit as she took a bite.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Like it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm! The meat tastes so different."
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because I smoked it." Keith grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You use smoke for cooking?" "Mmhmm." Keith started to exin the process of smoking. After their meal,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright. I have to go now."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Where do you need to go? Before she could question, she heard something flying towards them. And when she turned her head, she was shocked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Dragon Bee!" Scarlet was prepared to fight. But Keith waved his hand, "You don''t need to worry about anything! They''re friendly!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
