*Crackle*
The bright orange flame flickers under the moonlit sky..
*Woosh*
The cold night breeze is blowing through the gra.s.slands..
It lowers the overall temperature of the surroundings..
Thereby symbolizing that the day has come to an end..
Giving a kind of drowsy atmosphere..
I might be drifting off to dreamland right about now..
Except, for the fact that I"m not alone..
Two eyes colored like amethyst are staring at my every move..
Ah, I knew it..
This kind of atmosphere is very awkward..
I am now finished setting up the tent and sleeping bags and blankets for later..
Before that, I made a campfire with charcoal using a fire crystal and cleared out the area of beasts and the like..
Now, I"m preparing my cookware to make supper..
What should I make tonight? Hmm..
*Stare*
...
As expected, I can"t get rid of her cautiousness..
I can"t think clearly because of that..
And I know, talking will only make it worse..
I mean, she"s now fully on-guard against me just because I tried to comfort her..
Isn"t that too mean?(Hidosugirune?)
So I decided to keep my mouth shut and let her escape..
And I walked even further north to show her that I mean no ill will..
But it seems that she kept following me while keeping wary 100% of the time..
I"m not gonna hurt you, you know?
Is this the fate of someone like me?
Who has had no other contact with other people from the big city and appeared as if I came from the countryside?
Is it that obvious?
This is too cruel..
My worst fear has came to be..
I"m..
A country b.u.mpkin..
Ah, even though I tried to be cool and hide that part of me..
What frightening detection skills must the inhabitants of this world have..
I wrestle with my emotions drifting between sadness and regret while lighting the portable stove until..
The eyes that were glaring at me like I was her father"s killer has stopped..
I slightly turn my eyesight onto the girl without her noticing..
She seems to have a curious expression on her face..
And her line of sight is going..
Ah, she"s staring at the portable stove in my hands..
"What, what is that thing? What are you planning to do to me with it?!?"
Ah, she finally spoke to me..
Except, her voice is tinged in wariness and fear..
Am I really that hard to talk to?
But she wants to know what my portable stove is, huh?
Does she really not know what it is?
Doesn"t the big city have these kinds of contraptions?
I mean, I made it by myself you know..
Couldn"t anyone have made it easily?
Oh wait, now"s not the time for that..
It seems she thinks I"m going to use it for something evil..
No, I"m not a fan of using toys, what? it"s true..
And even if that wasn"t true, I would still not lay a finger on her without consent..
I"m a feminist at heart, I wouldn"t hurt girls without good reason..
No even if there was a good reason, I still wouldn"t..
(sigh) Now I"m starting to contradict myself..
For now, let"s answer her question with all the courtesy I can muster..
"Ah, yes. I"m going to use it to make supper.."
I tried adding ~desu at the end to show respectful behavior..
I just hope she doesn"t take it the wrong way..
"*Hiiii* Are you going to cook me?"
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
She took it the wrong way!!!!!!!
Why does it have to be like this..
Am I cursed?
Was it because of the first skill I received in this world?
Is it permanent?
Iyada, go away [Curse Aura]!
It was then, I noticed..
Huh?
I unconsciously used [Curse Aura] all the way here..
Was it because I was cursing the sun and it"s blasted heat?
But how can it be this powerful even to the point where she is treating me, her supposed savior, as a demonic ent.i.ty?
As I was taking a closer look at the skill, a blue window popped out..
