Chapter 84 - Escape?
Chapter 84 – Escape?
"Why are there no monsters attacking us?"
Lawrend couldn't help but ask after walking for quite a while.
"They won't dare attack me. Just my demonic aura is enough to scare them away."
Aezel explained to him.
"Demonic aura? I don't feel anything like that."
Lawrend said to her in confusion.
"You're not a monster, are you?"
Aezel asked in retort.
"Y-Yeah…"
Lawrend nodded his head awkwardly.
"Alright. We're sleeping here."
Aezel stopped before a pile of leaves.
"Isn't that too barbaric?"
Lawrend asked her with a furrow of his eyebrows. He doesn't think that it was a good idea to sleep on the forest floor. It would be shiveringly cold at night.
"What? Do you have a better idea?"
Aezel turned to him and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Can you help me get three small branches?"
Lawrend looked around before saying to her.
"Sure. But, why?"
Aezel nodded her head but asked in curiosity.
"I'll make us a tent."
Lawrend replied to her with a smile.
"A tent? Fufufu. Show me."
Aezel looked at Lawrend blankly before she laughed blissfully. Aezel pointed her finger to the trees above them, and a red arc of lightning jumped from her finger to the tree.
BOOM
The small tree branch she aimed for fell to the ground slowly as it was parachuted by the leaves with a small thud.
"Agh… Forget it. Let's just sleep on the leaves."
Aezel held her stomach in pain after insta-casting her magic.
"Aezel!"
Lawrend helped her up in worry. To be honest, he doesn't even know why he was helping her at this point.
"Don't touch me!"
Aezel slapped his hand away.
"O-Okay…"
Lawrend pulled his hand back slowly in shock. She didn't respond this bad when he grabbed her chest earlier. Women are weird.
"Hahh… hah… I'm sorry. It was just so sudden."
Aezel stood up as she panted and apologized to him.
"N-No. It's alright."
Lawrend replied with a stutter.
"Anyways… we're sleeping here."
Aezel lay on the ground, tired.
"O-Okay…"
Lawrend's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to her cleavage. It was emphasized with her body laying sideways.
"Stop staring so much."
Aezel suddenly said to him. Even though her eyes were closed, she was able to sense his gaze.
"!"
Lawrend immediately turned his head away when he heard her. He laid on the ground and also did it sideways. Though, he faced her. It was basically a free view at this point.
"…"
Aezel didn't rebuke Lawrend this time. She dozed off silently.
As for Lawrend, his eyes immediately became alert when he realized that she fell asleep. He waited for a few more minutes before he slowly stood up.
But the loud rustling of the leaves made it obvious that he was standing up. He stared at her intently to make sure that she wasn't waking up.
After a few seconds that felt like forever, Lawrend had finally stood up straight.
'I need to get out of here!'
Lawrend thought to himself. Although he said that he would follow her earlier, he thought about it. It wasn't worth it to risk his life just to find out what she wants from him.
Lawrend slowly walked away. He stepped carefully. He avoided the ground with too many leaves to not make much noise.
After a few minutes of walking slowly, he was already far enough to run freely. But suddenly, Lawrend realized something. He looked around, and he forgot where they came from.
He doesn't even know which direction the capital city would be. Far away, he heard faint roars of monsters. His heart skipped a beat, and he slowly returned to her side.
He laid down again, defeated. He would just be killed by the other monsters if he tries to escape right now. It was better for him to bide time and wait for the perfect chance to escape from her grasp.
He silently admired her sleeping face and her mouthwatering body before he fell asleep.
"Lawrend. Lawrend! Wake up!"
Lawrend heard a voice calling for him, and he slowly woke up. Finally, his eyes opened, and he focused on the beautiful face staring at him.
"B-Beautiful…"
Lawrend was mesmerized by the first thing he saw. Aezel's beautiful horns only complimented her beautiful face.
"Fufufu. You are right."
Aezel laughed hearing Lawrend's words.
"Ah!"
Lawrend immediately sat up when he realized where he was and what happened last night. Aezel skillfully dodged Lawrend's head and stood up. Otherwise, Lawrend's head would have bumped into hers.
"Come on. We're going."
Aezel urged Lawrend. Lawrend blinked his eyes and stood up. He followed her as they once again walked through the forest.
Growlll~
Lawrend looked down at his stomach in surprise. This was the first time he heard his stomach growl. After all, he was well fed in the mansion. Even when he was traveling out with Aleshia, it was the same.
"You're hungry?"
Aezel looked at him in surprise.
"Oh yeah, you still have to eat every day."
Aezel suddenly remembered that Lawrend was not like her.
"You don't eat often?"
Lawrend asked her in surprise.
"Yes. Noble Demons don't need to eat that much unless it's needed."
Aezel nodded her head and explained to him.
"Oh, that's interesting."
Lawrend was amazed. So she's similar to Olgar who always fasts.
"What do you want to eat?"
Aezel asked him.
"Huh? Anything."
Lawrend replied to her. He wasn't particularly that picky about food. Especially now that he was outside in the wild with a demon with him. Whatever feeds him, he accepts.
"Alright. I'll help you catch one."
Aezel nodded her head with a smile. Though, that smile became crooked because she grabbed her abdomen in pain.
"Are you okay?"
Lawrend asked her in worry.
"I'm alright. Don't mind me. It's just from the attack of that old geezer."
Aezel waved her hands at Lawrend and quickly recovered.
"Okay."
Lawrend nodded his head slowly as he looked at her skeptically. She's probably hurt very badly.
"Let's go! We need to fly or else the monsters will just run away from us."
Aezel grabbed his arm and lifted him into the air with her.
