When Tepaonjo brought up what happened during the hunt in the forest, now Madika could only sigh with a bored expression etched on her face.
"it's because of the attitude of Natalia who did not want to be friends with just anyone, especially with men" said Madika gave an explanation.
"ehmm... yes it is true, Natalia was like that...... But are you sure nothing happened between you?" tepaonjo asked again with a smile and raised his eyebrows.
Shortly after, Ariel came to Madika and Tepaonjo.
"instead of you talking about it, how about we go to the cafeteria?" said Ariel who just came directly to give advice.
"alright" Madika replied quickly and immediately stood up.
he immediately approached Ariel.
"let's go" said Madika as she pulled Ariel's hand away from Tepaonjo, who kept questioning her about her relationship with Natalia.
-----
Now Ariel and Madika are already in the cafeteria.The two of them seem to be sitting at one table and facing each other.
sometime after that, Natalia, Lili, and Nina approach the two of them.
it seemed that the three of them were currently also intending to eat while having another purpose with Madika.
"can we join?" ask Natalia to Ariel.
"of course." replied Ariel briefly with a smile.
Hearing that answer, Natalia and her two friends sat down with Ariel and Madika.
"Madika, after school you will come with me to hunt in the kinjo forest" Natalia said when she was sitting in her chair.
Shortly after they sat down on the chairs, a waiter in the cafeteria came up to them.
after that Natalia and her two friends immediately reached for the menu list available on the table, then they chose the food they wanted to eat right now.
Meanwhile, Madika who heard Natalia's invitation is now just silent.
he doesn't seem to care much about Natalia.
however, Natalia also knew that Madika would still come if she went hunting.
Madika is currently silent because she is considering the words of Mr. Samon.
a few days ago Mr. Samon had already given Natalia a ban on going hunting in the kinjo forest.
it was because the forest was a gathering place for monster animals that were much stronger than the monster animals they had both faced before him.
"Natalia, don't you know that Mr Samon has forbidden us from hunting in the forest?" said Madika remembering while continuing to eat.
"oh... do not need to be too thought out what the parents said." natalia said optimistically.
"confidence is good, but this is not a matter of confidence anymore.remember, in the kinjo forest there are very strong monster animals, which are very strong, and that place doesn't fit top-level knights like us." said Madika who still remembers Natalia.
"yeah...." Natalia sighed while putting a bored expression on her face.
"even if you say that, but this boredom will not disappear.. I'm really tired of hunting in the usual place." natalia memelas.
Seeing Natalia who looked very wanted to go to the kinjo forest, now Madika also agreed with Natalia's wishes.
"alright then" said Madika agreeing.
When she got approval from Madika, Natalia now looks happy.
during this time, whenever they determined the location of the hunt, Natalia always asked Madika first.
it was because Natalia trusted Madika's ability to fight in the wild.
during their six months of neutral energy hunting, Natalia now fully understands that Madika has more fighting experience than she really does with herself.
it was that which made him always ask for approval from Madika before entering a forest.
>SKIP<
Now that Ariel and Madika had finished eating, the two of them even chose to leave the cafeteria before Natalia and her two friends finished eating.
at this moment Ariel seemed confused, why Madika did not really act as her bodyguard for Natalia.
usually a bodyguard is much more prioritizing the interests of the people he must guard.
then Ariel asked Madika.
but Madika casually replied that she got special rights from Mr. Samon.
but when Ariel asked what the special rights were like, Madika was reluctant to give an answer.
Ariel can now only remain silent as she continues walking.
Madika and Ariel now continue to walk around the academy building until the end, without them knowing they are now on top of the building.
then the two began to look at the view from the top of the academy building.
"do you like Natalia?" ariel asked while looking at Madika.
"be that as it may. I feel mediocre when I'm with him" Madika replied honestly.
"in that case, what about me?" asked Ariel who seemed to be expecting something a little.
Hearing that question, Madika can now only look at Ariel without knowing what she has to say in front of the beautiful girl.
until the end Madika just smiled thinly while stroking Ariel's head without giving a reply to him.
>SKIP<
At this time it looks like Natalia and Madika are entering the kinjo forest.
the two of them were walking quietly into the forest.
in the forest the atmosphere was quite quiet.
only a few animals live in that place.
"if we move further into this forest, then we will meet a monster animal that is stronger than the monster animals that we have been fighting" said Madika recalls Natalia.
Natalia who heard Madika's words now only muttered while nodding her head.
After they had walked for a long time, it was getting dark.
but not a single monster animal they could find.
at the end of the day, they choose to stop and rest.
now they rest under a very large tree in the forest.
"how about we eat first?" natalia.
"sorry, I forgot to make provisions" said Madika while sitting next to Natalia who is currently sitting on one of the tree roots.
"just relax, I've brought more food today" Natalia said, taking food out of her storage room.
