"Have you guys traced all these cave areas?" ask Zoe while holding Jun.
"No, we haven't gotten that far" I replied with a slight glance at Kie.
He was so trembling.
"Is it possible that this cave is the entrance to the labyrinth?" I said the chief soldier was astonished.
"It seems not, because we didn't hear any monster sounds in this place.If there were a monster that could move quietly it should have attacked us already, but this place doesn't even have any sign of a monster" I told him.
"Hm... is it possible just an ordinary cave?"
DUARR!!!
"Maybe, but obviously we can't go back there" I said, staring back at us.
By continuing to walk to find a safer place I explained to them a little about the state of this cave even though I never explored it completely this place did look like a labyrinth entrance, indeed, but that doesn't mean it's a labyrinth I've seen a bit of this cave condition with detection magic so I can confirm its safety and I don't find any branching paths at all, this cave purely has only one path even though I don't know how long this cave is.
In our conversation from the beginning until now Kie just kept holding my hand tightly without letting go, occasionally I looked at him with a slight smile and tightened our grasp because he who looked frightened, was, this was the first time I felt Kie's hands trembling and sweating coldly from fear even her own face looked as if it wanted to cry, everyone here was indeed frightened by his expression as well as mine, but thinking frantically would not solve the problem everything had to be solved with a calm mind, although it is very difficult to find calm.
On the sidelines of the conversation we heard the sound of explosions accompanied by ground rocks that collapsed and fell as if the mouth of the cave had been flattened with the ground, and of course we will never be able to return to that place again.
...
"Lia, cover the road we passed earlier with a layer of soil!"
"Good brother"
Far enough into the cave I then stopped my steps and asked Lia to close the road we had just passed with thick, layered ground, it was useful to block the demon warriors who were moving into the cave, as they couldn't possibly be fooled so easily making the layered walls was a good thing, though, if they smash the first wall and walk through it they will stop at the second layer without knowing we are hiding behind the second thick layer of walls, that way we won't get caught by them.
And it would be great if they did not destroy the first layer, because I asked Lia to make it so thick that there was no suspicion.
"Why did we stop?" ask Zoe to me.
"We just walked down this cave until here, the rest we still do not know and also we should treat those who are injured first" I replied as I stared at the soldiers and also Jun.
"Yes I think there's a point" he said.
...
"Arhhhh, that was really an unexpected attack, glek glek.." said the chief soldier as he gulped his alcohol.
"Hey is this a good time to drink?" •__________________________ for the chief of soldiers.
"You panic won't solve the problem either, at least enjoy your life while you can" he replied, acting wisely.
After stopping everyone then sat down and leaned against the cave wall while still holding onto their respective weapons, no exception with the chief of soldiers who also sat while taking out a bottle of alcohol from behind his pocket and up the drink with his leisure.
He seemed unmoved by all the things that happened when he was also injured, really very calm even at a glance I wondered 'does he have no fear?' because he's the only person who looks carefree here.
Well, it has a point, too, but it's an inopportune moment. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•
...
"Godhh!!" stub Jun.
"June!" lia exclaimed as she held onto Jun's body that was leaning against the cave wall.
Confused at the soldier leader's calmness, my gaze was distracted by Jun's agonized groans as Zoe lowered her down with Lia beside her.
"Kie, can you help Lia treat Jun?" I asked Kie who looked calm, but still held my hand.
"Heal.." said Kie slowly.
Because Jun's wounds were getting worse and his blood was soaking his clothes I asked Kie to help Lia treat him so that his injuries would not get worse, hearing my request Kie just nodded then let go of my hand sitting next to Lia while putting her hand over Jun's wound.
"Emkh!"
"Hold on Jun in a moment" Lia said to him.
Right after Kie and Lia placed their hands on Jun's wound instantly there was also a glimmer of green light appearing and directly covering the wound that was on Jun's stomach, and at the same time Jun again groaned with a face filled with sweat, not just silently watching them I took the handkerchief that was in my waist bag and swept all the sweat on his face.
Behind me were also some people who were healing the soldiers and bandaging their wounds, but even so they all looked exhausted and could barely perform healing magic, so many of the soldiers who only bandage the wound without treating it.
...✧❁❁✧✿( Ellia )✿✧❁❁...
"Yoshh is done" I said, wiping my sweat.
"Now rest first, I will give you medicine" Kie said slowly to Jun.
Hm... What's wrong with Kie why is his attitude different?
Treating the wound that was on Jun's stomach was really very draining of sweat, well.it was because the wound was quite large as well as him who had already lost a lot of blood, well, but I'm happy because the healing went well even though it was a little full of moans.
Finished closing his wound Kie then took out some painkillers from his small bag and gave it to Jun, Kie looks a bit different than usual he looks a little moody and not too much talk when he is a person who always looks strong Kie second person who always acts mature and strong after Luna, Kak, but now I see a different impression of his attitude.
Maybe it's just my feelings.
"Anu... Can I help you?" ask the chief of soldiers.
"No need…"
"Are you sure?" ask me one more time.
"You just help the other soldiers anyway it's just a scratch" he replied.
"Um.. yahh. Then excuse me."
Finished treating Jun and him's wounds that already looked calmer I then went around to help the wounded soldiers, even though the wound on Jun's abdomen had already closed, I then went around to help the injured soldiers, even though the wound on Jun's stomach had already closed, but he still looks weak because he just lost a lot of blood.
Letting Jun rest me and Kie come over to the warrior chief who was releasing his armor except for the ones on his wrists and feet to help treat his injuries, but he refused and asked us to help the other soldiers
He said it was just a scratch and it was true that it was a scratch, yes, one in the hand with a length of 10cm and on the chest that was almost twice that of the one in his hand was truly a scratch wound. What scratch wounds?"•_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•
"Let me help" I told some soldiers.
"Y-yahh thank you"
Seeing the chief who insisted on not being helped I then moved to some soldiers who were sitting leaning against his weapon, then petrified them to treat his wounds even though they did not heal immediately, but at least that was enough to ease the pain a little.
"Alright, it's done. rest first" I told them.
...
"Kie, Lia are you guys done?" ask Luna to us.
"Em yes." replied Kie slightly nodding.
In no hurry I treated every wound of the three soldiers and then covered it so that the wound would not open again, likewise, Kie who was sitting near someone with Zoe treated the wounds of the people, and a while later the three of us finished petrifying the treatment of everyone who was injured due to the previous demon attack, he said, slowly Luna approached us asking about 'whether we are finished or not' and with a slight nod Kie's head replied quietly whereas I myself just smiled proudly and happily because I could help others.
"All right then let's take a look at the state of this cave!" take sister Luna.
"Good brother" I said enthusiastically.
"You don't have to force yourself to come with Kie, you should also rest with them" said Luna staring at Kie.
"I'll be with you too" said Zoe raising her hand.
"You'd better stay here Zoe, we don't know what's going to happen."
"Then, should I leave you in danger of having to explore this mysterious cave, hey there are men here why should women take on dangerous tasks? you don't know what happens to you, do you?" zoe assured me.
"But.." said sister Luna stopped because her clothes were pulled slowly by Kie.
Ahh cute...
"Well, there's one thing I want to ask you anyway" Luna continued with a sigh.
Yep, there is a little debate between Luna and Zoe about who can participate in exploring the contents of the cave, sister Luna had a good reason to still let Zoe stay with the soldiers because not many of them could fight with this condition, she said, and in the end the debate was stopped because Kie who tugged on Luna's clothes as if allowing Zoe to come with us.
I just smiled a little silently, silently, looking at Kie who was like a child asking to be bought candy by her mother, of course, it was a little confusing for me because now Kie's nature is much more childish than me, and it makes me feel a little more mature hehehe, although it's not the time to think about such a thing.
"Let's go!" said Mr. Luna.
"Bye bye all! we'll take a look at the state of this cave" I told all the soldiers.
"Be careful little boy!" sahut the chief soldier.
"I've grown up uncle" _____ "I've grown up uncle•
"Haha! sorry sorry sorry."
"Ugh! you drunk, even though the situation is not good" I said slowly while following Luna.
It was enough with the debate Luna then set her foot towards the dark side of the cave leaving the rested warriors, and with a little greeting to them I followed Luna even though I did not like the words of the chief who referred to me as a child, likewise with Kie who goes hand in hand with Luna and Zoe, but this time he does not hold the hand of Luna and only holds Zoe's hand.
...*****...
"Hmm it turns out that this cave is still very far away" I said looking ahead.
"Yahh, and also it looks like it was formed from a crack in the ground" Zoe said staring at the cracked ceiling of the cave.
"I agree. The farther ahead, the ceiling opens, I hope no demons move above us" said Luna with a little seriousness.
Far enough we walked following the direction of this one cave path while continuing to observe the circumstances around us, this road is not much different from the previous one only this cave path is a little steep and rocky also looks brighter because the ceiling is slightly open caused by cracks, even so, this is also not too bright and even dark if we do not use fire magic as a torch.
"Emkh!"
"Kie!? why you?!" I was worried about him.
"That's okay, h-just a little sore and sore" said Kie leaning back and holding on to the cave wall.
"Eh! blood?" luna was surprised to see the blood on Kie's leg.
"Dam!!" lyrics of Luna's sister to Zoe.
Suddenly Kie groaned a little by leaning back while standing on the cave wall holding his lower abdomen, plus, the blood flowing through her legs and it was very clear because she was wearing a skirt, sister Luna was even surprised to see that drop of blood and immediately glanced towards Zoe who was standing next to her.
Bruk!
"H-hey a-what's Luna?!" said Zoe leaned against the wall after Luna pushed her.
"Hey Zoe! what did you do to Kie?!!" ask Luna, she looks angry.
Seeing what happened to Kie quickly Luna pushed Zoe down while holding her neck down the wall of the cave next to us, and asked Zoe with an angry face.
.........
"Kie are you okay?" I asked Kie.
"Y-yeah, it still hurts, but it doesn't matter I can walk."
.........
"Reply answer me!!" snapped at Luna.
"How can I answer it, I don't understand what you mean Luna."
"Don't pretend you don't understand Zoe! you did that ' right to Kie?" asked Luna by holding tightly onto Zoe's neck.
"You're not accusing me of Luna?"
"I'm not accusing you, but I saw you kissing Kie when you went looking for a medicinal plant, and who knows you did anything else before I saw it" said Luna Sontak make Kie blush.
Brother Luna is really blunt. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•
In his quarrel, Luna made a statement that made Kie blush with round eyes when she heard that, as well as Zoe who looked dumbfounded to hear Luna knowing about the moment, and yes… luna really did not hesitate to say that even though she also immediately looked embarrassed to say it.
"So, you see that?" asked Zoe.
"Lu-forget that part, now answer my question!" continued Luna while slightly throwing away face.
"You know I'm not that bad guy? you've known me for a very long time, Luna, so don't misunderstand me I can't possibly go that far."
There was a considerable quarrel between Luna and Zoe about Kie's situation, they continued to exchange words with Luna who kept urging her to confess her actions and Zoe who was being cornered with all the questions and statements uttered by Luna, he's the one accused here, but even so I'm not so sure that Zoe did.
.........
"What really happened to Kie?" I asked Kie without caring about the commotion beside me.
"Yes it seems like it has entered the period, I forgot to wear the bandage hehe"
"Owh! so yes hehehe"
.........
At the core of all these problems is just a misunderstanding, it's something that often happens to women every month and not because there is something going on between Zoe and kie, yes… maybe Luna's sister was provoked by emotions because she thought Zoe was doing something nice to Kie.
"Sister."
"Silent sister Lia is forcing this depraved man to confess."
S-it looks like big brother is really upset. "•IT'S A MATTER OF COURSE•
"H-hey stop that, I told you I couldn't do that/"
"Shut up and confess!" snapped at Luna.
"Luu.. You misunderstand me. Zoe did nothing to me, this is a natural thing to happen to us every month.I just forgot to wrap it up" said Kie reassuring Luna.
"Eh! j-so it's not because Zoe took it…"
"It's not Luu. t-but please don't say about the matter to anyone huh, I-I don't want mom and dad to be angry" Kie said as she turned her shy face away.
"So... Can you let go of this? I'm starting to get a little distracted by this" Zoe told Luna to let go.
"Y-yahh alright. m-sorry" said Luna slightly lowered her head in embarrassment.
Because I knew it was just a misunderstanding, I called Luna and wanted to talk to her, but Luna, who was too busy with anger at Zoe, told me to shut up, and after Kie spoke up about the situation, this misunderstanding problem immediately ended with a small request from Kie not to tell this matter to his father and mother, and with a little embarrassment Luna let go of her grip on Zoe's neck, yeah… the problem will not be solved if only holding on to your own opinion and fortunately Kie had to talk before Kak Luna beat Zoe's face. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•
