Late in the afternoon, after finishing his studies at the academy, Kamito intends to see his new residence during his stay at the academy. Together with Kino, who is his new friend, they head to Kamito's residence outside the academy building, near the stables. As a male, the Sylphid Knights could not let Kamito be in the female dormitory because it was against the rules.
That rule had also just been made when Kamito came to this academy. It would be strange if it existed from the beginning, because how could there be a rule for men in this princess-only school? The only thing that makes sense is, if the rules for men are aimed at guests who come here and so on.
"Why are you following me, Kino-san?" kamito asked Kino behind him.
"Well, Ellis said she wanted me to replace her to keep an eye on you. He said, he has some work that needs to be done in the Sylphid Knights, so I told him to keep an eye on you so as not to do things that violate the laws of the academy," Kino replied.
"I'll never break the academy's laws, you know?"
"Yes, yes, I know you won't. But it's a pity, Ellis said that I have to keep an eye on you" Kino added. "The task is not too difficult, it's fine to follow you. I also have no work to do. No problem doing some charity work sincerely."
"Huh, okay." Kamito sighed tiredly.
He can do it himself, even with others like this even bothers him. However if he wanted to expel Kino, he had no reason to do so. He had no other choice but to let this girl follow him. But since Kino himself was not a problem for him, Kamito himself did not bother him much.
•••••
They both got to the place where Kamito's house during his stay here was built by the coolies—Knight Sylphid—. There were not many of their opinions about the buildings made by those knights. Dad, this was the first impression the two of them had when they saw the building. It has no art at all, does not take into account the materials used, the only plus points of this building are cost-effective and very simple construction, only takes a matter of minutes.
Rather than being called a house, it was more like a hut. No, it is more suitable to be referred to as a dilapidated hut. Not only that, the location of the construction is also very strategic, which is near the stables. It's more memorable that the ones living in there are not humans, but livestock. They are so inhumane!
“Oh, yes. Ellis said, you can use the horse drinking place when you want to shower and others. He also added that it will be a problem if you get into the dormitory of women,” said Kino flat.
“You want me to stay here? Huh, don't joke! This cannot even be called a residence! I doubt it will last when the rain comes!” yelled Kamito while pointing at the dilapidated building.
Fortunately, there is no Greyworth. He would be terrified and would not dare to put up a fight if the witch was here. It was not that Kamito was afraid of Greyworth, it was just that he lost in terms of strength. Even with this extremely unfavorable force and condition, Kamito would still fight Greyworth when the person closest to him was harmed.
Of course, he would not sleep in an open space the entire time. Kino only does this when she wants to and the environment around her to support her. It was also unlikely that he would sleep in the open with rain or sea bears everywhere. If he does that, there's even him alone who will have a sick body and it's dangerous when no one will take care of you. Hermes could not take care of Kino as a motor.
Kino himself is a professional traveler, so he certainly has a variety of equipment and supplies to support his life. The tent is of course in his trunk and he can take it out at any time when he wants to sleep at night. Why have a tent when it is never used? Just throw that tent away.
“I doubt you even care about me...” The eyes look like dead fish from Kamito.
“I really care about you, you know, Kamito,” Kino continued. “As someone who is both not a descendant of a noble daughter, I have a higher sense of caring for you, you know. If you want, I can give you some rations of mine for your food later.”
Kamito was silent for a moment thinking about Kino's offer before replying, “No, thank you. I'll find my own food. Ration is not very suitable for me.”
The spirit forest is still a forest after all. Some animals are supposed to exist with powers weaker than spirits, and that is certainly nothing compared to Terminus Est. It is very strange that Kamito could not beat the animals there to be used as food when he was in full condition. It will be his defeat and disgrace.
‘Ugh, the taste of the ration was very bad. I would rather hunt animals in the spirit forest than have to eat them, Kamito's inner’.
The ration itself was made to fill the stomach for the military, not for the general public. Instead of prioritizing taste, it is more concerned with nutritional content to fill the stomach and its long shelf life so as not to easily rot when used in the future. Actually about the taste of the military ration itself, depending on the material of manufacture.
“Then, what do you want? I can't help you if all you want is to build a place to live.” Kino also added, “Roh mine does not have the ability of land elements and can not be used to build a house in instant time. I myself also do not have the architectural capabilities.”
‘Yeah, if I buy architectural knowledge in from System I will have one.’
Architectural capabilities will not be too useful for Kino. The traveler does not need a home in his adventure. Even if he wanted to build a house, it would only be used for the night. It is too futile to build a house for just one night, but it is not a problem as long as it has enough magic power, mana, or ki. But still, it will only be used for one night and does not have comfortable furniture like a mattress.
“No, need. Thank you for showing me this place.” Kamito slightly lowered his head.
“Sama-sama.” Kino left after saying that.
