As Ren waited quietly under a tree, a Kara came humming some song that had to do with happiness because of the melody.
- good night ren.
'why are these girls so trusting? anyway, it makes my job easier.
Looking at this girl from head to toe, Ren didn't know what to think.
Little was known about Kara in the game, despite being a hero, the public did not care much about her, since she seemed like a generic character.
you always saw her with that friendly and cheerful smile of helping others, when the player takes the harem route, the other girls usually have some resistance to accepting, but Kara was the first to say that it would be no problem.
Only a few times was this girl sad, the first time was when she wanted to make a weapon with her father, and her father told her that it was a disaster, and she left crying.
fans of the game said that she exaggerated a lot for a failure.
In the middle stage of the game, Kara maintained one of the kiriko pieces.
later when going to the land of the dwarves later, Kara goes ahead to see her father.
then he runs out the door with his head down, with no option to go for her since it was necessary for them to repair the equipment immediately due to an organized attack, but his father talked about how his repairs are a failure, along with his creations He always says that something is missing.
a girl who is always smiling despite her insecurities, fears, pains, and worries, in other words, an unknown person, if she is good at hiding pain, what else can she hide?
although for now, I will only be talking to her for this task, maybe I should observe her later.
"Good night Kara, do you know why I asked you to come?
- because you need me?
"Yes, I need you with me to do this.
Ren said as she pulled out a wooden spear with a stone tip.
-and that is?.
"We need weapons for everyone, and we only have these stone-tipped spears, and we need for all 50 people, so let's go.
she said as she walked towards a stone where there were certain natural instruments, like a sharpener, a machete, and logs.
Kara was a bit confused by the instruments, but she shook her head and put on a determined face, and walked over to Ren.
While Ren was cutting an ash stick that she found earlier to make the stick, Ella Kara began to sharpen stones.
after a couple of ready sticks, ren turned to kara to see how she did it to her, and she saw that the stone was pointed, the point was too long.
"Can you tell me what this is?
- what? I'm sharpening stones as you asked.
" This is bad.
With that said, the confused look turned to one of anger for a moment with a few words.
- And who are you to say that what I did is wrong?
Ren just raised an eyebrow at that, Kara seeing that he made an outburst immediately apologized.
"I don't mean that it's all wrong, I mean the tip, look at this.
Ren asked her for the whetstone, Kara thought about it for a few seconds and handed it to him.
Ren sat next to Kara and began to sharpen the piece of rock, in a similar way to Kara's, but this time instead of making it very sharp, he made sure to take a good look at every 2 scrapes, and made it less sharp but with a better base.
After a couple of minutes, Ren looked up and smiled.
"Ready, look at it.
Kara, seeing the not-so-sharp point, did not understand.
- Why do you do it like that, the more pointed the better, right?
Ren thought for a moment.
"Um, let's see, look at that tree over there.
Ren pointed to a tall nearby palm tree.
- what's wrong with it?
"Why do you think it stands up without falling?
- that's simple, because of its hard crust.
" wrong.
- Really? Then why?
" well...
Instead of talking nonsense with the possibility of being called a liar, Ren walked over to the palm tree and took out a shovel from his ring.
and he began to dig.
"Don't stay there, come help me.
Kara, still confused, went and with another shovel given to her by Ren, they both began to dig the ground on the side of the palm tree.
After a while of digging, sweaty Kara started talking.
-Haa, haa, why, haa, why did we dig more than 10 meters?
Instead of responding, Ren grabbed the shovel and plunged it to the side, aiming at the pine.
Kara was confused when she heard a banging sound.
"dig that.
Kara started digging up and saw one,
-root?.
she was confused as the palm tree was at least 10 meters away from where they dug the hole.
"You see, plants like this palm tree, they don't get so big just because of the stem, they get so big thanks to the long roots they have, with a base as deep as at least 10 meters as you see here, they can grow taller, the weapons are similar in shape if I just make it more pointed, when poking a wolf it will break easily and bye bye weapon.
- ooh
Coming out of the hole, Kara was still looking at the whetstone with a look of contemplation, Ren took it as a woman's thing and went back to his own thing.
After 2 hours, a happy and jumping Kara and humpbacked ren returned to the boss room.
Before Kara goes to sleep, Ren calls out to her.
Kara.
-Yes?.
"Tomorrow, please tell everyone that you prepared these weapons by yourself, and call those who know blacksmithing and guide them to create more weapons.
- why?
"Because these weapons will break after a few uses and they are still 3 floors.
-It's not that, why should I say that I made the weapons alone if we did it together?
"Because if they see that you did it alone, along with your charisma, you will motivate them to try harder.
- Ah, that's a good plan, as sensei says, see you tomorrow.
After saying that with a smile, he went down humming some dwarf-like song that Ren might listen to in the future because it's catchy.
Ren whistled again with his hands and Kumiko came out this time.
- now you laugh.
"We already have everything, the kitchen, the weapons, the only thing missing is the water.
- Do you want Kuroka?...
"No, I want Aiko to do it, and Aiko?
- She's sleeping, she's tired Ren, do you want me to pass on your message?
"Yes, of course, tonight I'll stand guard with Miss Isabel while they sleep, tomorrow she'll be Kiriko's turn, come with him if you want, and we'll rotate.
- As you like, I'll go to sleep, see you tomorrow.
Strangely, Kumiko did not make an insulting comment, which made Ren feel strange since she is usually annoying all the time, leaving him like a dream of her, Ren went to sit with Isabel at the campfire, which was still lit.
while the 2 were sitting, they just looked at the campfire, and neither spoke.
sometime.
- Is everything ready?
"Yes miss, we have everything ready, we just need to wait for tomorrow.
- I see, that's good, you should go to sleep.
"I still can't sleep.
- and that's why?
ren got closer to Isabel's place instead of answering, when her shoulders touched, ren said in her ear
"I will sleep when I am sure that nothing or nobody will attack me, at that moment it will be when I can sleep peacefully.
Isabel felt resentment in that voice, but she didn't probe too much, she just said.
- I hope that can come soon.
"Of course, for now, we have to worry about the dungeon.
- what do you mean?
" I made weapons not only so that others feel safe, I made it so that we can fight in case of attacks, at 5 in the morning I have to go down to the second floor to see the situation.
- are you sane?, explore the D rank dungeon alone?.
"Yes I am, miss, as I said, I just want to make a trip to see the safest route, since as you may have noticed, the dungeon is no longer like the map that the explorers made in the beginning, the entrance of this The room was luckily in the same place, but on the way there were more slopes and huge rocks that weren't on the map, not to mention that before there wasn't a pack of wolves, just random wolves.
"Besides, since you already know about your ex-partner's trap, how do we know that he didn't manipulate the map before the trip?
- I guess I can't refute your logic, you'll go, but it won't be my responsibility.
"I never asked you for that, miss, I just want to do things like this to avoid an incident and it is believed that it will delay our journey.
Although she said that her injured classmates will be a burden, Isabel agreed, that in a situation like this, where she has to protect more than 50 students with the limited number of needles she has left, it will be a problem if someone gets hurt and you have to slow down.
At the campfire, neither Ren nor Isabel were separated more than they were, not because there is any kind of romance here, but because it was cold despite being near a campfire, despite Isabel's abilities, it was a rank D as ren.
They couldn't use a tent because they needed to be alert that no one wants to go to the other side of the room and because of some attack, they just sat on the log that the students brought at some point and slept on their backs there.
The next morning, Ren opened his eyes with his vibrating alarm clock, and felt numbness in his legs, looking down he saw Isabel sleeping there, he did not cry or anything, it was not necessary, it was only necessary to exchange the position in which they were.
She sent a message to Kumiko to come, Kumiko in her pajamas went out to see what she was up to and seeing Ren she just sighed in frustration and went back to her shop for a pillow for the sweet sleeper.
When Kumiko came back, she handed over the pillow they put as a substitute for Ren's legs and a map.
Ren checked to see if he had all the things ready before he changed into his hunter outfit (I'll start calling it that) and went downstairs alone while Kumiko only changed back to watch over the sleeping princess.
