Chris's Faith of Fire

It would be okay if I didn't stand as a girl and talk to him about such a sexy topic alone.

We have been on the road all day long, and my experience over the past month has taught me not to waste energy during travel, so that I can walk more during the day and minimize the number of camping trips.

The hotel beds were uncomfortable, but there was hot water and cooked food.

It is really terrible for travelers to eat and sleep in the open. It will probably take a long time for you to get used to this kind of thing.

But you also have to learn to adapt.

Everything is different from before.

.........

"Ah, I still haven't walked to town today."

Haggar roared in annoyance. He had pretty good physical strength and still had the energy to complain even with his luggage on his back.

I was so tired that I could only lie down against the tree trunk.

"According to the map, it only takes half a day to walk."

"Want to catch up while the time is early? Master."

No more, absolutely no more.

Lian seemed to sense what I meant and shook her head at him.

"No, I will fall asleep in a while. By the way, you have to be careful too."

"Well, that's what I said before, right? So do we still have to train today?"

"We'll talk about it when we get to town tomorrow. Everyone is tired today. Go and take out the dry food and give it to Chris."

"Ah, no need...Lian, you don't need to take special care of me, I am also a boy now..."

Just when I waved my hands to refuse, Fami had already stuffed the piece of bread into my mouth.

"Ugh! Ha! What are you doing?"

Staring at him angrily.

"If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to walk tomorrow..."

"Oh, oh...thank you."

Wouldn't it be impossible to refute someone who suddenly changed into a caring attitude?

His cheeks are probably red now, and Fami has become much smoother.

I took a bite of bread, it was hard and moist...

But you have to eat them all.

In the past, the maids would bring hot tea and snacks, and if I wanted, I could have them make a three-layered cake.

But now I can't be so willful.

I am no longer the princess of Garnet.

"Good night, Haggar will be keeping vigil today."

"Oh~~~"

Wrap yourself in a blanket and face away from the campfire.

I didn’t want them to see my tears and sobs.

Now I am just a brave girl...

Chapter 57 57. A journey that begins with a negative number——2

It's hard to fall asleep outside, and I'm always afraid that bugs will crawl on me while I'm asleep, so it's hard to fall asleep.

But after enduring it all the time, his consciousness began to become drowsy, and he finally fell into sleep.

In fact, it was not a dream.

"Did you sleep well?"

I opened my eyes and saw Fami, her face was so close!

I rolled aside quickly.

"Don't come over here without saying a word!"

"Sorry, because even the master is awake and it's time to hurry up."

Indeed, when I looked up I saw that everyone had packed their blankets.

I didn't feel like I fell asleep at all, but the sky did get brighter before I knew it, so I must have fallen asleep.Although the fatigue has not gone away at all, I may not be able to hold on if I can't go to town again today.

Although Lian said half a day would be enough, there were cases where people could not arrive before dark due to getting lost.

In addition, Lian has a complicated disease that requires her to sleep for a long time every day.

Looking at his dark back, it seems that he is very accustomed to camping in the wild. When will I be able to adapt to this environment like him...

I looked at the myriapod insect crawling on the ground. The size was far larger than any centipede I had ever seen on earth, and its appearance was even more terrifying than that of a centipede.The moment I saw it, I felt like the hairs all over my body were standing on end.

It seems to be a very difficult thing.

"It's okay. That thing doesn't attack people and is not poisonous. It is said that the meat is of good quality."

"You have eaten it!"

After hearing what Haggar said as he packed his bags, I was struck by a fact that was even more horrifying than before.

"I ate it when I was a kid. I grilled it with my friends because..."

"Stop talking, that scene is like a nightmare when it appears in my mind!"

I have never seen this kind of bug near the palace!

Hager didn't seem to feel tired after a night of vigil, and he didn't look like he was about to yawn at all.

"Don't you feel tired, Haggar?"

"Ah, I switched shifts with him in the middle of last night."

Fami picked up his sword and luggage, turned to me and said.

"Is that so? You look in good spirits?"

"Fortunately, it's better to say that I don't feel like sleeping very much at night lately."

I do feel like he's been a little weird recently, maybe because he ate some stimulating fruit or something.

But in this case, the calm atmosphere cannot be explained.

"Are you telling the truth, Fami?"

Lian was also very concerned about this issue and came over.

"That's right, Master. In fact, I barely slept last night, but surprisingly I found that I was completely fine."

"Let's get checked out by a doctor when we get to town."

"Huh? But I didn't..."

"Be obedient."

"Yes."

Lian made Fami shut up obediently with just one word. She was obviously not so obedient when talking to me.

So pack your bags and hit the road.

Unlike yesterday's luck, there is no clean water source nearby. Today I can only scoop out some of the water I got yesterday and simply wash my face. Because there is very little water, I can't waste it.

My hair has been itching for many days. Fortunately, I cut my hair short, otherwise I would have suffered even more.

In the past, I used refined tree sap to wash my hair every day, and also applied various spices to my long hair. Although the process was cumbersome, the effect of care cannot be compared with just washing with shampoo.Aristocrats generally have good hair quality.

Hopefully the next town will allow me to give my hair a good wash, even without the sap and spices.

"Let's go, just 20 fras today."

"Okay, wait for me a moment."

As usual, I took advantage of everyone's turn to bow with my hands clasped together in the north direction.

"What do you mean you keep doing that?"

"Ugh?"

Fami suddenly came over and seemed to be noticed by him.

"Nothing, just pray to my perished motherland."

"Is that so..."

As a result, he also did the same thing as me.

"you……"

"I don't know why, I just want to do it."

What I wanted to say but couldn't say was interrupted by him. For a moment, I even thought he had remembered something.

Sure enough, that's not the case.

"That's it."

After leaving such a sentence briefly, the final sound gradually spread and disappeared into the air behind.

"Well, then let's set off. The next town is Rosa Town, and crossing there is the border of Garnet. After passing through Mount Fea, we should reach Sestotia."

"Understood, let's go."

A new day begins again, and what we have to do today is the same as what we have done this month.

Sometimes we walked through dense forests or over rugged mountain roads, and occasionally encountered villages. However, everyone left quickly after hearing the news that the Demon King had returned. After all, there have been more and more monsters around recently. Look, The fantasy-like statement is not unconvincing.Of course, there are also many elderly people who are unwilling to move, and there is nothing we can do about it. It is too tiring to persuade them one by one. Even Lian can't do anything about this.

Sometimes when we come to a town, we find that it is already empty. If we are lucky, we can pick up some food left behind when we fled in a hurry. If we really have no choice but to hunt some monsters to eat, at least there will be some food left. The eaves can provide shelter from wind and rain, which is better than camping.

Under the protection of Lian and Fami, the monsters can't hurt us at all, so we should be content to not have to worry about our lives.

After all, there are so many people who cannot live...

Unknowingly, while I was deep in thought, everyone had stopped.

Looking down from the mountain, you can already see the town.

"Rosa Town is down there, and the location is exactly the same as on the map."

Lian took out the map, which seemed to be the one he had used during his previous travels. It was said to be a handwritten version drawn by the famous adventurer Kalis. It was very accurate and was also a popular version among adventurers.

"There is a river from here to the southeast. It should be a branch of the Blue Sha River in Gilkern. It seems to be called the Gray Whisper River in the local area. First, go to Luosha Town to complete supplies, and tell them the news about the Demon King's Army. Then we will follow the Let’s move forward by the river.”

He rolled up the map and put it in his arms. We often see him doing this action. Does his cloak have pockets?Can you put so many things in?

"Maybe they already know the news."

Fami put her finger on her lower lip, as if thinking about something else.

"Not sure, but based on what we've seen along the way, it seems like it won't be that fast, and the Demon King won't attack the entire continent so quickly. Besides, the lord here doesn't seem to be famous, and the land on the border itself doesn't have much value. "

Lian seemed to know something. I looked at his pointed ears, but their length was not as exaggerated as that of a goblin.

"By the way, is Lian half-elf?"

He was very surprised when I asked my question, and his expression froze for a moment and he didn't know how to answer.

"This... um, no, I am a true citizen of Nefera. Well, as for what race I am, it was a long time ago. I can't remember it myself. Anyway, it is probably human and some unknown race. A bastard..."

"No, I'm very sorry."

Hearing his hasty tone, I apologized hastily.

Bastard, he actually used such words about his own affairs. Lian probably didn't want to mention it.

"It doesn't matter at all! Because the boss is very strong, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing at all. If anyone dares to say anything, just beat him away!"

Hager also helped. He is now very good at reading the atmosphere.

"Well, thank you, Haggar."
