DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 38 - Overnight

I decided to forget it after finding the night had come sooner than I expected. I decided to use the help of the dragons to take them somewhere.

In my opinion, it would be much easier if I were to hand it over to the guild. I did not forget to make a letter that showed that I and my party members had defeated the robbers.

Of course, the person who is the recipient must be trusted. I decided on Aisha or Elina as the destination. Because, if I leave it to someone unknown, I fear that things will go wrong, unwanted, as the right to the prize is claimed by irresponsible people who assume he has done it, or the like.

"Then for next." It is still in the mountainous region. It was too dark to start the journey. At least the whole road was covered by fog, and we were only able to see up to a certain distance.

After that, because the road was between the cliffs, I decided that continuing until tomorrow was the last option. Not knowing, what kind of bad events would befall us if we were not careful under these conditions.

Luckily, there was a small wasteland suitable for us to use as a camping ground. He was circular and was among the trees, maybe this was a place that someone would deliberately create for this kind of situation. I decided to use it.

"This is chicken soup Mr ..." Liya handed the bowl with the broth and the chicken side dish to me. Food that was perfect for me who was almost cold.

The temperature here may be minus. I don't deny it because it's a highland area. The only way we could do, of course, was to rush into the fire in the middle and in addition, we also made two tents.

"We will take turns for the guard duty from now on, does anyone intend to apply to be first?" I said it, as if everything was saying, "Not until this cold is reduced." Seriously? Am I the only one who looks strong at this moment? I mean, Liya and Charlotte look like they're talking about something behind my back.

"Hmmm? Can I hear your conversation?"

"A, ummm ... N-No! We're just talking about dinner tonight, yeah!" Liya dismissed the notion of hiding something, but I could easily read it as an act of trying to cover up.

Yeah, nevermind. I don't really care what the girls say. Isn't this better? I could sleep faster afterwards. I don't think it would hurt to be first.

"Yes? Is there something wrong about that?" I raised an eyebrow, hearing him say it as if it made me somewhat wary.

"ah! I-I don't have bad intentions. Really don't kill me!" Why did he become so scared like this. You know, I've been avoiding that a lot. And as I shook my head, "Thank you Mr ... It'll definitely feel confusing, but, what if we start with an introduction first."

"My name is Richard."

"City ... My mother named me that." Otto huh? It seems like this guy has a problem, not knowing why, as this guy's gaze is blank when offering up as my talking friend. "You know, this is the first time I've started."

"You mean about trading?" Otto shook his head when he asked me. Ah, that explains why his attitude seems to always panic when in difficult situations. "Relax, I'll help you get to town as long as you're willing to pay more ..." I let out a somewhat frightening smile in the eyes of this man, "Joking."

"You scared me ... I thought you were gonna threaten me into giving you extra money." You mean about beating the robbers?

"No need to think about it, we both benefit here. You survived and I got the money and the copper for the spoils." I pointed at the copper bag I collected from the robbers.

"Haha ... You're like enjoying it ..." Indeed, this is the world I dreamed of for a long time. A place where I'm surrounded by a lot of girls, then ...

"It seems like this is the first time I've ever spoken to my age." For in this world, you could say he is the first man in this world who is willing to talk long enough with me and listen to my story.

"Didn't you have any friends before, sir?" Well, if we don't include Aisha, I guess besides that there's nothing I can call a friend the same age in this world. "I admire you so much and so want to have a relationship with you, what if we started from friends?"

"Friends? Are you serious?"

"Yes, of course. I wish I could hire you again."
