I Just Want to Live Unemployed

CHAPTER 32: CAMP (3)

Time passed for quite a while, Before when the Aether sports teacher left, the Aether Group was resting inside the tent with some light talk they had.

It's dark now, and it's time for them to go out and light a bonfire.

" Cautions!! Now night has come and the disciples are given the task of lighting the bonfire! " Shouted a teacher who came out of his tent, This time not a gym teacher.

Aether et al heard their teacher's voice then looked at each other.

" Get a match? " Ask Uriel.

The three people asked shook their heads, then they all fell silent and only the sound of crickets ringing that night.

" Hahhh "The sound of Aether's breath is heard, "Let me turn it on "Say Aether and rush out of the tent.

His friends looked at each other first and then came out of the tent following Aether, They were wondering what Aether wanted to do.

" What are you going to do? " Task Uriel at Aether standing outside.

Aether turned to look at Uriel and Ariana and said "Because we don't have a match, then we just need to borrow the other one "Aether said, Bastian nodded in agreement.

" What if they don't want to lend it out" Ariana said.

" They will lend it to you if you and Uriel "Say Aether, pointing to Ariana and calling Uriel by name.

Ariana and Uriel are confused as to what Aether means.

" Why would they lend it if Ariana and Uriel were gone? " The curious Bastian was unable to hold his mouth anymore and spoke up.

Aether sighed then said "A lot of people originally wanted to form a group with the two of you, because what? Yes, your face, if you ask them to lend you matches, of course they must lend them "Aether explained.

" It makes sense! " Say Bastian while forming both hands like a gun and then pointing towards Aether.

" What? Isn't that a little nasty? " Say Uriel.

" Hmm, but if we don't, our bonfire won't burn, right? " Say Ariana hesitated and considered Aether's remarks.

" Well it's up to you, whether you want to try borrowing or not "Aether said.

After a few minutes of thinking, The weather around was getting cold, Uriel and Ariana who were not strong enough to feel the night wind now spoke "Ahh-I am not strong, We better try it! " Say Ariana.

" That's right, it's so cold!! " Uriel also spoke up with her hands hugging her own body.

Aether rolled her eyeballs and said "It's better if you want to do it than "Aether said.

" Tsk shut up "Ariana grieves and now invites Uriel away.

Because the match stayed in wait now Aether is preparing to make a bonfire.

" Bastian, can you take 2 Buckets of Water? " Task Aether to Bastian.

" It doesn't matter "Answer to Bastian and now go to the teachers' place to borrow 2 buckets of water, then go get some water in the river.

Aether looks around to determine the location of a campfire far enough away from a young burning object or hanging plant.

Then after getting the right position, Aether keeps all flammable goods as far as 2.5 meters.

Aether digs a hole deep enough for the fire to be under control and the coals have a place to fall, The deeper hole will also make the wood not fall out but to the middle.

After that, Aether made a barrier with stones that served to hold the campfire while also providing a boundary between the wood burned with other combustible objects.

Soon Ariana and Uriel had returned with 1 match.

" You guys are back? " Say Aether saw Uriel and ariana.

" Yes, We got the lighter "Ariel replied as she showed the match in her hand, Aether smiled and said "Good! " She said.

Arriving from behind Came Bastian with 2 full buckets of water that he carried.

" seeking me? " Tanya Bastian who heard her father looking for her.

Ariana and Uriel reflexively turned to look at the source of the voice.

" Bastian? Where did you come from?. Ah you took the water? wh-wh-what for? " Saying Ariana with many questions, Uriel was also curious.

" Aether asks for it "Bastian answered briefly and placed the bucket of water near Aether.

Ariana and Uriel this time looked at Aether with curious eyes.

Aether inevitably answers "water just in case the fire spreads to unwanted places, What if there is a fire? " Say Aether.

" I see, I didn't expect you to be great at survival " Uriel said in awe, Ariana and Bastian nodded in agreement.

" Of course, I used to be an army of "Inner Aether, but on the surface he only replied with a smile.

Aether began to arrange wooden twigs and lean the twigs on each other to form a pyramid. Then Aether laid more twigs until the Pyramid structure was solid.

Later, Aether added larger pieces of firewood to create larger structures.

Then Aether left a gap between the wood that forms the pyramid wall so that the wind can blow and ignite the embers in the middle of the pile of wood.

Then after that, Aether now lit the match and lit the ready-to-light bonfire.

The Aether group's bonfire is now burning faster than any other, they've all been composing from earlier but until now none of them have succeeded.

As for the Aether group, they only tried once and succeeded.

The fire was lit with falling embers, Around the tent it started to feel warm and brighter at night.

" Whoa!! It worked!! You're great!! " Say Uriel with enthusiasm.

" I didn't expect you to be so good at this, Did you camp often? " Tanya Ariana was curious.

" Well, I used to camp quite often "Aether replied briefly, Of course it was only in his former life.

" You didn't take me? " Say Bastian.

" For what? We ourselves have not been acquaintances at that time "Said Aether, because it was when he was Bastian soldiers did not know him, right?.

" really? " Said Bastian who thought he was abandoned by his best friend.

Aether just nodded.

" You guys are done? " They arrived their gym teacher, who was approaching because he saw a fire burning in the Aether group.

The Aether group nodded as their bonfire was finished.

Their sports teacher stared at Aether's bonfire which looked very experienced, His eyes staring in admiration towards the group.

" Great, you'll get the perfect score for tent making as well as campfires" he said with a big smile.

Uriel and Ariana, who often blame their values, are now very happy, now they have some light conversations while enjoying the night breeze and the warm sting of the campfire.
