The party kept walking till evening then after finding a good place near the river, a camp was established.

The three dudes built two tents while Rachel cooked some soup. The best thing about being a kid was no one asked me to do anything at all. The teenage girl was also just lazying around while everyone worked.

The sun set quickly and we were all having our meal near the campfire. It was good enough I guess, everyone else was eating it together with various snacks. It was funny scene to look at.

I was sitting beside Rachel since she was the chick I was closest to in this group. The three dudes were opposite us while the teenage girl was sitting at a distance from the rest of us.

William - So you must be making a killer income with all those novel items right?

Hikaru - Yeah, so much that I stopped counting after a while.

Rachel - Really? Do you have that much money?

Hikaru - Yupp, why don't you join me I will give you a good salary...

I joked with Rachel. William and the rest had that jealous guy look but I ignored it.

Rachel - What would I even be doing? I'm a Healer I can't be your guard.

Hikaru - You can just count money on my behalf and stay with me all the time for moral support.

I gave her a look that explained in detail what support I wanted from her. She immediately hit me on my head with her magic staff.

Rachel - You never change, do you?

Hikaru - Changing is for wimps, real men bend everything to their desire.

That earned me another hit on the head with an hour-long sermon on why man should be good. I listened while keeping my head in Rachel's lap.

When one guy brought a bucket of water from the river everyone got up one by one to clean their utensils. You clean what you eat from was the adventures rule.

I also went with my bowl after a the last guy and started washing my bowl when the teenage girl walked behind me and placed her bowl and spoon next to me.

Teenager - Bring this to me after cleaning, brat.

And then she turned around and started walking. I was stunned as to understand what the fuck just happened to me. When I saw her walking I threw her bowl back at her.

Hikaru - Wash your own fucking bowl, miss whoever the fuck you are.

She stopped and turned around with ugly expressions on her face. Everyone finally noticed the scene and stopped talking.

Teenager - How dare you ! Do you even know who I am, you piece of shit brat ?

Hikaru - Of course I have no problem.

William - But.. One guy will keep watch so.. it's..

Hikaru - It's fine right?

I asked Rachel while touching her back delicately, she wanted to refuse but nodded instead after my touch. William was shocked but then again what was new?

So me and Rachel walked towards the other tent together. The Snobby brat was already inside. She glared at me when I entered but chose to stay silent.

We made our bed and laid down. It was too dark inside only a little moonlight was entering through the gaps.

I was in the middle while on my right was Rachel and left was the teenager Charlotte.

I took out my smartphone and earpods to watch something for a while before I felt like sleeping. The tent instantly brightened and both chicks gasped.

Rachel - What is that ?

Hikaru - Just a device for entertainment, sleep it won't make a noise.

Charlotte - How can it be source of light without magic?!

Hikaru - why should I tell you?

She just glared and closed her eyes. I started watching a movie I was recently interested in. Then I noticed Rachel looking at the device like a kid.

Hikaru - Do you wanna see?

I her Charlotte moving at that but she wasn't the one I was asking to.

Rachel - I am already watching.

Hikaru - It doesn't work like that. Here, take this.

I gave her one of the ear buds.

When I played the paused movie from the start for her after adjusting the ear bud in her ear, her eyes were wide open and a squeel escaped her mouth.

Hikaru - Calm down, do you want to gather everyone here?

Rachel - But.. but... The sounds.. it's so real and loud... Amazing... How is this possible?

Hikaru - You won't understand even if explain, so why don't we just enjoy instead?

Rachel - Yess, let me see... Lemmeee see..

I noticed Charlotte moving around trying to get a good look at what was happening but she immediately turned around when I looked at her. She was a funny kid.

We watched the movie together for a while, after that an evil plan formed in my head. And I opened my hidden stash folder that was 120gb in size with a lot of souce.
