Nikol woke up hearing the sound outside the tent. As soon as he woke up the first thing he did was to find Lydia who was supposed to be next to him.
Seeing the morning light from the small spaces of the tent, Nikol knew he slept more than normal time so he quickly dressed up while drinking some water from the pouch.
"Damn it, we are going to get late just because of me," He thought while leaving the tent.
To his surprise, everybody was there including Alva and Emily looking at the food on the grill which was giving sizzling noises because of the fire.
Seeing Nikol coming out of the tent everyone cheered up quickly while Lydia indicated him to come and sit with them.
"Nikol, come here we are getting ready to get our breakfast," She shouted.
Everyone was looking at Nikol with strange looks like they wanted something from him but Lydia gave a deadly stare which caused all of them to go back to normal.
"Why didn't you wake me up? I could have helped you with this," Sitting on the rock beside Alva, he said.
"It's okay, this is nothing hard for us, every girl here has the job of serving you so don't worry about it," Lydia said with her normal cheerful tone.
"Yeah, especially for her since you filled her with a lot of energy last night," Having a tone mixed with displeasure, Alva grumbled.
Lydia couldn't help but frown hearing her offensive words.
Emily looked uninterested in their affairs as she slowly got close to Nikol with her plate. She wanted to feed Nikol breakfast in midst of all this.
"Nikol say ahh~" Taking a piece of meat from her plate, she tried to feed him but both Lydia and Alva noticed this as both of them quickly took their own plates while sitting close to him.
"Lydia, you hogged him yesterday for all yourself," Alva spoke looking at her.
"So what? You girls always monopolise him when we were in the tribe," Nikol didn't understand when Lydia got so aggressive but now she looked no different than Alva and Emily.
"Ugh~ but we share him always, right Emily?" Expecting Emily would help her, Alva looked at her but she was in her own world feeding Nikol.
*Tsk
She couldn't help but think of how useless her partner in crime is.
Feeling irritated early in the morning to be met with all these unwanted questions, Nikol wanted to scold them.
"Can you guys please not fight early in the morning? It's not pleasant," Hearing his voice both Lydia and Alva calmed down.
"Lydia, what happened to your usual calm and mature behaviour?" She felt embarrassed hearing his question.
Other girls were looking at their leaders with jealousy as they get to associate with Nikol so closely. They would have already surrounded Nikol if not for Lydia's threats before Nikol woke up.
She knew that all these girls heard and knew about her last night's activities so she threatened everyone not to make a scene.
Being the leader and powerful figure she is everyone had no choice but listen to her words.
"I wasn't Nikol-" Seeing Nikol blaming Lydia, Alva smirked thinking that he tried to blame Lydia but his next words caught her off guard.
"You too Alva, don't try to fight with every girl I have sex with, didn't I tell you last time that I love you all," She looked a little disappointed hearing his words as she wanted to be at least a little bit more important than others in his life.
She didn't know it was an impossible task as Nikol already had a rather special girl in his mind who already occupied number one without any effort.
"We won't fight anymore," Alva and Lydia both agreed while sitting down next to him calmly.
"Good girls, so what is our plan for today? Are we going to enter the place where Nym told about?" Nikol questioned while looking for her but for some reason, she wasn't there near the campfire.
"Yup, our goal is to find these elves today we can't spend more days finding them since we have to go back to the tribe as soon as possible," Lydia said gaining everyone's attention.
"That's good, by the way where's Nym?" Curious, Nikol questioned Alva.
"She must be sleeping, unlike us she's not an early bird," Alva said with a little smile.
"Neither am I," Nikol thought while standing up and wiping sand on his pants.
"I'll go and check on her, you girls get ready to leave, we don't have to waste time here," Ordering them Nikol quickly went to see the tent where he was supposed to spend the night.
It didn't even take five minutes for him to reach the tent. As soon as he entered the tent he was met with the spectacle of a naked girl sleeping on the floor with her ass exposed.
Occasionally she used her right hand to scratch her butt without even knowing her lover was observing her.
"This girl!" Nikol quickly got close to her ear.
"Wake up, sleepy head," She didn't even notice him as she ignored the voice thinking it was an insect.
Nikol repeatedly called her two times thinking she would wake up but seeing her lack of reaction he quickly took some water from the nearest pouch and sprinkled it on her face.
"Wake up, damn it, how sleepy are you?" Hearing it she quickly jumped while confused about what happened.
It took her a few minutes to realise what happened.
"Good morning, sleepy head, get ready for breakfast," Seeing her confused, Nikol quickly gave her some water to drink.
"Nikol, good morning," Realising her situation, she quickly greeted him while drinking water from the pouch.
"Get dressed and eat quickly, we are going to leave," Giving her a dress, Nikol tried to leave the tent but Nym quickly hugged him from behind.
"Are you angry with me for not listening to you?" She was anxious to hear his answer but still, her curiousness took the best of her.
"Why should I be? I know you're suffering inside because of what happened to your mother," Nikol looked at her while trying to avoid looking at her naked body.
"I know exactly what it feels like to miss one of your family members, so I don't think what you did was wrong," Hearing his words, Nym relaxed as she felt safe with him.
"But you should promise me, if things get dangerous you should run away because you are the most vulnerable person in this group," Even though he didn't want to scold her for it, Nikol felt scared to take her as she had next to no fighting skills and athletic skills.
"No, I won't -" She tried to object to his words but Nikol closed her mouth with a kiss.
"Listen, don't be a stubborn girl, all of us can protect ourselves unlike you so if things get dangerous you are the first one to run, no objections," Nym felt this wasn't a request by his tone and stern look.
She was conflicted but still, she agreed as she didn't want to disappoint Nikol.
"Good, go and quickly dress," Leaving the tent, Nikol met with other girls who were already cleaning up tents to continue their journey.
Seeing Lydia, Alva and Emily in one place he decided to meet them.
"You guys ready to leave?" Getting close to the trio, he talked with a cheerful voice.
But for some reason, Alva, Lydia and Emily all had sad faces. Nikol got confused about what happened to them.
"Why? What is happening?"
Alva looked at him and Lydia simultaneously before answering,
"We decided to not do any baby makings while we are on this journey since it will leave you exhausted after that," It was clear that she was unsatisfied with this decision but still she went alone with it as even the slightest mistake can cause huge damage if they don't take things seriously.
"I don't mind-" Nikol couldn't even object as Lydia also supported this decision.
"We decided to avoid it, I know how spent you were last night and how exhausted you were," She didn't hesitate as she knew others already saw them together.
"From here onward we are entering one of the most dangerous zones so we need to be in our best shape," Other two also nodded at her words.
*Sigh
"Whatever, if you guys want to do it again tell me ok," Ending their conversation, everyone packed their bags and got ready to leave for their journey.
"Listen everyone, today we are going to meet elves and discuss with them, make sure to not offend them when we meet otherwise it is your fault and you will be punished," Lydia had a powerful and proud voice as she ordered others.
"Elves, I'm really interested to see these elves, I hope they are just as I imagined," Thinking about various things, Nikol followed the group but in reality, he was surrounded by girls protecting him in every direction.
"Whenever this happens I feel like a VIP," He thought looking at the other girls.
