"Hi! Sol ...," a soft voice faintly sounded. The sound flowed smoothly in Solid's ears that were still sound asleep. Instead of waking up, the young man changed his sleeping position.
"Solid ...!" again, the soft voice sounded again like the voice of a beautiful angel was also melodious.
"Hi ..! .. van Denburg," the voice was louder this time, drawing Solid from his subconscious, "Hi, Solid! Getup! We have to leave now."
"!?"
Solid was aghast as his cheek was slapped by someone's delicate hand. He turned his head and found the grim-faced Rosemary. In fact, his heart had just been happy because it dreamed of an angel. However, all of that was a mess now due to the sour face of the girl before him. Worse, the daughter of the Vi Cornelia family almost slapped her again. Fortunately, he was able to wake up before Rosemary returned to her slap.
"Basic! Why did you fall asleep at night, heh?" rosemary's scolding was fierce, "What if some ferocious animal suddenly came attacking us? Didn't you say you wanted to take responsibility for the safety of the group?"
"Huh?" solid consciousness is still not perfect. Rosemary slapped him once more until he woke up this time. The slap was so loud that it stuck red on Solid's cheeks. Looks like a handsome young man so kuyu made.
Unfortunately, the young man was unable to avenge the slap that hurt him because Rosemary was a lady. As a young knight candidate, he may have the heart to hit a woman. He could only grumble over the painful actions that the daughter of the Vi Cornelia family did. If the one who slapped him was Charles, they would definitely have a duel soon.
"Kids, are you ready?" asked Ula shortly afterwards. Some of the students looked sleepy. It seemed, they were able to sleep soundly due to being too exhausted yesterday. Thank goodness there was no problem last night. "The sun is already very high up there. We'll be late if we don't leave now."
Some students looked up. The lush forest leaves block the sunlight to enter perfectly so that it does not look bright. They think it's still morning now. The cold weather is still around. The atmosphere felt like it was even morning blind.
"How much longer do we have to walk?" ask Solid while staring at the book in Rosemary's hands. The girl he asked looked over. He frowned, then replied after thinking for a while, "Once you go. Maybe it's a little late because someone's up more days than they're supposed to."
"really? Is it that far?" Solid didn't catch Rosemary's insinuations. He's not very sensitive. For him, the most important thing right now was to get out of the Kaskas Forest.
"I'm not so sure," Rosemary shrugged her shoulders, "We'll probably get to the resting post before noon. As a knight, you shouldn't show such a lazy expression, Solid."
"Huh?" Solid was offended. For some reason, he felt that the girl always said sarcastically to him. He asked to be sure, "Hey, do you hate me so much?"
The question arose spontaneously from Solid's mouth. Rosemary turned to him with a mimic that seemed to say, "Of course, why do you ask?"
"Not to hate" Rosemary replied honestly, "I just don't like your attitude that can't reflect the person of a noble. Moreover, you are from the venerable van Denburg Family."
"Ck," Solid clucked in annoyance, then grumbled, "Colot. It's just fabricated ethics. Why should I think about it?"
"Kids, can you calm down?" Ula cuts through Solid and Rosemary's debate, "You'll provoke monsters to come if you keep making noise."
"The monster?" Solid looked at Ula and frowned, "You mean a dangerous beast?"
Nah!
"Let's!" solid who was reflexively holding his head.
"For your conduct, Mr van Denburg!" Rosemary returned to grumbling. Just now, he used the book in his hand to hit Solid's head. The book was quite thick because of its ancient material. So, Solid's head really felt an unexpected pain.
"That's not just a dangerous beast, Mr. van Denburg," explained Ula who then looked at Rosemary as if giving a warning, "Also, Miss vi Cornelia, please don't use the book to hurt others. That's a precious book, okay? Don't get broken."
"ah! Forgive me, sir," said Rosemary regretfully, "I spontaneously did it because of this child ...."
Rosemary did not continue her words. He stared intently at Solid as if giving him a warning so that the young man would not play around anymore. The glared solid was completely indifferent and just plain-spoken.
"What's it doing with this very chatty girl?" that's how he thought, "Hopefully we'll get to the village quickly so he doesn't bother me anymore."
Thank goodness the journey back went well. There are no significant obstacles because Ulu guides them through the safest paths. Without feeling the heat of the sun above the head, suddenly the atmosphere returned cold.
"Is it late afternoon?" ask one of the students.
"Right, son," Ulu replied directly, "We'll be back to unwind again in front there. Be excited! That place isn't far away."
"Hi, is this really okay?" ask a student in the back row, "We've been walking for a long time, but we've never been out of the forest either."
"Of course, I'm just following Sir van Denburg and Lady vi Cornelia" replied the man, "Only they can be relied upon for the time being."
"Here you are," the other disciple responded, "Follow and be patient! We'd rather be together than apart."
