The rest of the night passed after Liora finished telling me the story of Helfri but it was going to be an interesting journey. Isabel sounds like she'll be quite the problem to deal with if we happen to catch her attention.
I didn't know they had such coverage over the continents of the world but I guess it's not too surprising to think about. This probably isn't too uncommon in a world like ours.
"Helfri, I didn't expect to go there in my lifetime but it's not the worst." Shimada speaks up before letting out a chuckle.
He really does know how to break the tension with these types of situations so I can't complain about how he's taking it. I've been thinking about it quite a bit since we caught everyone else up on it.
"We got ourselves a strong party so I think we'll be okay." Amelia chimes in with a confident tone in her voice.
With that they continue back on the road, following behind Liora as she leads the way to Helfri. It was quite far from Bristiel so it would take at least a good week of traveling before they even got close to Helfri.
The party mostly talked about the potential dangers that await them in Helfri as they traveled for the first day or two.
I'm still not use to having so many people by my side, especially not in a place like this. I've come to learn a lot about this world in such a short period of time, not everything is terrible.
I have something that makes me special in a world like this which is more than I ever had in my last life. I probably wouldn't have gone anywhere exciting there like I do now, so I don't think I'm missing anything.
Everyone in my party seems to care about me just like I care about them... I wouldn't want anything to happen to any of them.
Liora will have to prove herself to us over the course of her travels with us but I am pretty confident that we can trust her. Her information was completely accurate when it came down to finding the general.
General Nori was definitely a lot stronger than most of the previous enemies but at least I knew that he would be there in Bristiel. Shimada also seems to be pretty good at sourcing information, but it's a matter of how he got it.
That's something I'm still kind of suspicious about when it comes to Shimada, otherwise he's been pretty good with our party. I don't think he's against us or maybe he's doing a real good job at hiding it.
(A camp they setup in the woods.)
It wasnt too bad for them to setup a camp since they have a good amount of people to pitch in for everything. Everyone worked together to make a good spot for the night since they all need rest.
The camp was just enough for everyone to sleep comfortably for the night but of course Artemis wouldn't be left alone. Amelia and even Cynthia have usually been joining him lately as he is the source of comfort for them.
I didn't realize it at the time but the day had gone by a lot faster than I thought. Night was here and our camp was setup like it needed to be.
I knew what would happen next since it's been the case with every place that we stay at so far. The girls will join me in bed like usual so that they feel comfortable for the night.
It seems I really am building up my own little harem of sorts but I need to get closer with Cynthia as well. There's a lot I want to know about everyone here— They have out a lot of trust and faith in me so I want to be able to do that myself.
I keep charging into battle by myself to keep them all safe, but everyone else is strong in their own way too. I've got no reason not to let them help me in these battles anymore.
This isn't the first time the thought has come to mind so I need to make sure it's the last at least.
"You seem lost in thought." Amelia says as she takes notice.
I forgot we weren't even in bed yet so it's not like it's hard to notice. "I've just been thinking about how I handle the fights lately, maybe it would be best to get help from everyone." Artemis replies while taking a seat on the makeshift bed.
Amelia takes a seat next to him without any hesitation. "We're definitely capable of helping out, no one ever said you had to fight alone." Amelia says while still keeping a smile on her face.
She's right, no one ever told me to fight alone or that they didn't want to help me... It's just I want to keep everyone safe so it felt like it was always the right call.
Fighting alone to keep everyone out of danger but it won't always be possible when there's more than one enemy. It's probably better to get use to fighting together now so it's not something unfamiliar in the future.
"Then I'll be looking forward to the backup in future battles." Artemis says with more of a positive tone in his voice.
Cynthia happens to walk in during the end of that and a smile forms on her face as well. "About time you let us help out in the fights." She chimes in with a bit of joy in her voice.
Artemis lays back on the bed and looks up at the ceiling of the tent before the two of them lay next to him. "Would be best to rest a bit since we need the energy for the rest of our journey." Amelia says while cuddling up next to him.
She has no problem cuddling up to me but yet neither of us can handle a confession like moment? I don't understand why I'm struggling like this when I had someone before.
