Chapter 148 - 147 – I Shouldn't Do This, But…
Trying to avoid looking at her tits, I answered her.
"Of course I came, didn't I tell you I wanted to borrow a sword?"
"Yes you did, but why did you need to ask me? And why do you need to leave at this hour hidden from your mother? What exactly are you going to do?" Ciaphia walked over and looked into my eyes.
Since she was so much taller, I had to look up.
"Well, I just want to go into the forest to hunt, but my mom wasn't allowing it so I'm going at night. And about the sword, my mom took the one I had and I just can't find a sword anywhere in the house."
"I see. But why do you want to hunt? Is there any reason you want this so badly?" She turned and walked towards her bed, sitting up, she looked at me suspiciously as she gave me a small smile.
I didn't quite know how to respond right now.
I can't say I just want to level up to gain skill points, maybe she doesn't believe me and thinks I'm crazy. Or maybe she believes and talks to someone about it.
"I don't have a reason, I just want to have fun."
"You are lying." Hearing my statement, Ciaphia pointed her finger at me and smirked. What is this girl thinking right now? And how can she be so sure I'm lying.
"When you're lying you never look at the person's face, your sister told me that." She said.
"So why didn't she notice when I lied about not working as an adventurer?"
"Hehe, you admitted it."
"?!" Hearing those words, my eyes widened in surprise when I realized I had been tricked. I practically admitted that I was lying to her now, dammit!
Now I'm being pressed here.
"That was a lie, Lisandra never told me about it. But it seems like it was enough to deceive you. Now answer me, why exactly do you want to go hunting at this hour? Maybe I can help you."
I thought for a while longer and decided to tell her some of the truth. Minimal stuff that won't affect me too much in the future.
"Well... It's something important, but I can't tell you the details, is that okay?" I said as I approached her bed and faced her, "Now give me the sword, it's too late already."
If I stayed here longer, I probably wouldn't have much time.
"Okay, I'll lend you the sword. But tomorrow you need to spend the day with me, what do you think? Or maybe you can sleep with me today and I'll lend you my sword tomorrow." When Ciaphia said this, she emphasized her breasts towards me.
"You're more perverted than I thought..." I said as I looked at her disappointedly. But of course, I was enjoying that view, I would have no reason to refuse to look at such a sexy girl in front of me.
"You fool. Take it." Ciaphia's face turned red and then she got up and grabbed her sword from a small table.
"Don't you want me to sleep with you today?" I held her hand that she use to hand me the sword, making her face even redder.
"That was a joke, idiot."
"I'm kidding too." She is much purer than I thought. But I better stop playing around for a while, if she ends up falling in love with me could get more complicated.
"Right. But make sure you come back early and be careful, I'm only lending you this because I trust you and I know how strong you are."
"Have you seen me fight before?"
"No, but Lisandra told me some stories, about how you are the village hero and saved a woman-"
"Okay, enough, I don't want to hear about it. It's very embarrassing." My body squirms just imagining Lisandra treating me like a hero and telling these stories, it's embarrassing.
"Now take care, alright?"
"Hm?" I looked up and Ciaphia was much closer to me than before, then I noticed a soft, suffocating sensation on my face. I was being drowned in her breasts.
Ciaphia hugged me for a while longer and I put up with that feeling. When she released me, her face was red and she was about to start crying for some reason.
"If you're not prepared to do something like that, it's better not to do it."
"Shut up..." She pouted and then turned her face away, but I could see she was happy.
Looks like she fell in love with me for some reason. Maybe she's fallen in love because Lisandra telling her my stories to her? Or maybe she fell in love because we had so much fun together?
Well, when I was together with her in the capital it was really fun. If I had to say... I like her. She probably likes me too but on a much higher level.
Why did she fall in love? I need to think about what to do about it later, maybe I'll end up accepting her in the future? No, I already have Lari in my mind.
Haaa~~
I scratched my head and sighed as I left the room.
Outside I found Taciane with a smirk on her face. Was she listening to everything?
"Okay, now I need to say goodbye."
"All right. And you know, I don't want you to end up making Ciaphia cry, so you better think hard about her."
"Hm? Is she that in love with me that much?"
"I don't know if she's really in love or not, but I know she likes you. I also know you guys get along really well together, so that must have made her fall in love with you."
"I was thinking the same thing. But don't worry, I'll think about it."
"Right." Taciane looked pleased and I walked out of the girls' house now with a sword at my waist.
"Come on, I'm sure this is going to be fun." A smile appeared on my face, which was covered by a piece of cloth.

Coming out of the house, the fog was even stronger outside. The guards held small lamps and walked around the village so I could tell where they were and not approach.
Being careful, I went to the back of the village. If I jumped over the wall I would fall straight into the forest.
If I went through the front, the guard on top of the tower would see me and put an end to my plans.
Arriving at the back of the village, there were some houses around here, but it was all dark showing that everyone was already asleep. Being very careful not to make any sound, I approached the wall.
As I approached, I noticed that I would have some difficulties.
The wall was completely smooth and there was no support I could use to climb over the wall, it's really hard. Seeing that I couldn't jump over the wall without using something, I had an idea.
'That's not a good idea…' Even though I have that idea, I sure as hell don't think it's good to do it.
I took a deep breath and started to climb the house that was next to the wall. Have people here, so I climbed carefully while leaning on the window and some building irregularities.
When I climbed to the ceiling, I held my breath and paid attention to my surroundings. It didn't look like anyone had seen me or the people inside the house had woken up.
So using a little boost, and a little bit of wind magic, I lunged forward and grabbed the top of the wall. It was pretty easy with my strength and agility.
Climbing over the wall, I was careful not to fall on the other side and end up in the hole, so I stood on the top of the wall and then threw myself towards the forest.
As soon as I fell, a loud noise was made, so from inside I could hear a voice.
"Is anyone around here? Show up." It was a man's deep voice, it was one of the guards.
So without looking back I moved on using fire magic to lighten the forest. The moonlight didn't reach here, so it was dark.
I also ended up encountering some traps along the way, but I managed to avoid them as I knew them and knew how they worked. After a while, I passed through the entire field of traps.
"There, now that I'm here I need to prepare." I took the cloth from my face and smiled mischievously.
I know I shouldn't be doing this, as it would probably I will affect the war, but I just can't control myself.
Removing my sword from my waistband and putting the mask on my face again, I started walking through the forest towards the country's border. Sometimes I found lost little monsters.
Slash~~
But they were easily cut leaving a large pool of blood on the floor.
"This sword is very good, I have to thank her better tomorrow. Does she still want me to spend my day with her?"
