Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Journey (5)

The journey itself was much slower. I had planned to arrive in 7 days, but it might take 3 more; it can't be helped. I'm not alone now. Elsa, so to speak, is a normal human and tires more easily, so I have to slow down. During our journey, there were no problems.

Right now, we were sheltered in a cave. It's raining outside; there was a storm. Fortunately, we found a good spot. We're deep inside. I checked that this place wasn't some creature's refuge. For now, we were safe.

I set up a small fire in the middle, i was roasting a few fish on skewers. Haha, they always ate them like that in the novels I read.

Elsa was in front of me; her small body was close to the fire; she was feeling a bit cold, I took a blanket from my ring and handed it to her.

"Thank you very much," she said.

"You should have told me you were cold," I replied.

"Oh, didn't want to bother you."

"Don't worry, it's better that you're well than sick. So if you have any problems, just tell me."

"Sorry then, but I have a question."

"What is it?" I ask curiously.

"Why are you so different from the rumors about you?"

"Oh, so it's about that, huh."

I start to smell something burning. I quickly remember what I was doing.

"Darn it, how could I forget about the fish?" Cursing to myself, I take the fish out of the fire. They were so black and smelled bad; it was inedible.

I hear a little giggle, and I see Elsa laughing, looking at my face.

"Hehehe, you should have seen your expression," she says with a hand on her lips, still laughing.

Sighing, I say, "Are you okay now? It's a shame about the fish, but luckily, I have more." This time, in the river, I caught a lot.

"Yeah, thanks for being there to help me. I really appreciate it." Although still with swollen eyes, she smiles a bit.

Nodding, I put another pair of fish on a stick to cook them again.

I hear her stomach growl a bit. Turning my gaze to her, she lowers her head embarrassed, with her cheeks a bit red.

"Hahaha, dinner will be ready in a moment."

"Shut up, hmph!" She turns her head with a little pout.

Haha, they're adorable.

After eating, I take out a kind of mini bed from my ring. I don't need it, so I give it to Elsa. Although she hesitated at first, I pressed more, and in the end, she gave in. I didn't put out the fire because there was no need. The entrance is still far away, but I never let my guard down. After a few minutes, I close my eyes to sleep.
