I Can’t Run Away From the Girl Who Saved Me chapter 23

23 – Training (1)

＊

It must have rained in the morning, so the ground was wet.

The sky was clear and the air was just enough moisture to feel fresh.

It was a wonderful morning.

The morning sun beamed down through the open window, dazzling the scent of fresh grass.

I rubbed my eyes and slowly woke up

“did you sleep well?”

Sylvia-san’s voice came from very close, right next to her.

It could only be because she slept with me.

“Yes… did you sleep well?”

“Yeah, I slept well.”

Still delirious and delirious, I burrowed into her arms to escape the slightly chilly morning breeze.

Silvia-san stroked my messy hair.

“Look at that, am I right?”

“…”

Sylvia-san said so with a triumphant face.

I didn’t answer at all.

I was very happy with her breasts wrapping my face softly, but I felt like my pride was somehow hurt to admit it.

Last night, she ended up unbuttoned.

I was very perplexed at how bizarre this was, but I had no way of controlling her anyway, even though she was harassing me like this.

Fortunately, the bed was wide enough for the two of us to lie on, as she once said, so I tried to lie as far away from her as possible in the bed.

But Sylvia-san boldly rolled my body and took it into her arms.

She held me on her chest like a hen laying eggs.

say it again

She didn’t button up.

I panicked and asked her to let go, but Mr. Sylvia smiled and refused.

‘I know you haven’t been sleeping well lately. You said you couldn’t sleep alone today because you were scared, then you’ll need human warmth.’

With some strange logic, he didn’t want to let me go.

In the end, ‘I can’t sleep because my heart is pounding.’ I confessed my honest heart, but the words backfired.

Rather, she hugged me tighter.

Could it be because of the imbalanced sleep pattern that has been going on since a few days ago?

Or was it because he let go of his nerves right after he was almost chased to death by a bear?

I was sucked into sleep in an instant in her arms, putting my excuses to shame.

And, until morning, I slept really well.

These last few days, no… Maybe it was the most refreshing sleep since I came into this forest.

“It would have been nice if you had listened to me sooner.”

Sylvia-san said that in a triumphant tone and poked my cheek with her finger.

Even without looking, I could easily guess what her expression would be like.

“…”

As if trying to keep an eye on the last remaining worthless pride, I kept my mouth shut and burrowed into her arms to find warmth.

He was also a doctor who told me not to stab him in the cheek.

“Ah, Ash… That, there… Oh,”

“uh?”

The moment I heard her embarrassing yet somehow seductive voice, I woke up.

I fell, like a spring that had been pressed down, as if it had been thrown out of her.

“…what was it?”

Crazy, now that I’ve run away from sleep, I realized what I was doing.

I was holding my face between her breasts in my sleep.

It was kind of warm.

No, this is not it.

Anyway, I asked her in a puzzled voice.

However, Mr. Sylvia covered her breasts with both arms and stared blankly at my face with a blushing face.

After a while, she said quietly with a faint smile.

“…transformation”

“Oh, you misunderstood.”

“I didn’t know that.”

“No… what did I do?”

“…I can’t speak with my mouth.”

“Ahhh”

I waved my hand in the air and giggled like an idiot.

Sylvia smiled when she saw me like that.

When I saw her face, knowing that it was her prank again, I whimpered with anger and shame.

Sylvia seemed to be cute even when I was showing off my temper.

Well, if I had a temper, well, wouldn’t she get even a scratch on her?

A 3-year-old will look cute in my eyes when a little boy puffs out his cheeks and whimpers.

Maybe that’s just how much my anger seems to her.

Sylvia stood up slowly and looked out the window.

“Ash, look at the weather outside.”

I looked out the window with a sullen expression at her words.

It was wonderful weather.

Just like the morning I went to Laila’s grave for the first time after I woke up.

Just then, a cool breeze came in through the window and caressed my face.

I could feel my hair rustling.

I said, looking at the clear sky without a single cloud outside the window and the trees showing off their deep and vivid green beneath.

“The weather is pleasant.”

“okay. It is a perfect day to suffer.”

“…yes?”

“After eating, let’s start training.”

＊

Sadly, breakfast was a fiasco worthy of discrediting me as the cook of this cabin.

First of all, the algae she had caught for dinner last night had only been peeled and smoked.

It was because there was one more planting material to deal with.

The bear she cut in half yesterday.

The meat was so big, and there was no way to keep the meat fresh here, so I decided to eat the bear first.

I catch and eat the bear that tried to eat me.

looks good I will eat it, fry it, bake it, boil it, and eat it evenly.

To be honest, I had that thought in my heart, but the whole time I was peeling off that big skin, I almost died because it was so hard.

The stomach and surrounding flesh were completely inedible due to the rotten intestines, probably because they had been left overnight, so when I cut out the parts I could eat, she took the bear’s body and threw it away.

In the end, the parts that could be used for food were the flesh of the back and four legs.

But they were so large that one thick hind leg provided more than enough meat for the two of us to eat.

However, the bear’s meat was very fishy, and there were no more herbs left in the hut.

The reason I went into the forest yesterday was because I had run out of herbs and spices.

I asked Mr. Sylvia to bring something like alcohol that was old and tasted bad to just drink, and tried my best to catch the smell, but in the end it failed.

I barely ate breakfast while munching on meat that smelled like stink.

Let’s remember.

Bears are no help in life.

Fortunately, Sylvia-san didn’t care about the smell and ate well.

She didn’t seem to be that sensitive to the odds.

It’s fortunate if it’s fortunate, but when I saw her enjoying this kind of junk food, I felt a little sad because she didn’t seem to feel that big of a difference from the dishes I usually cook hard.

After the meal, Sylvia took out the tea leaves hidden in the cupboard and made tea.

I asked her brewing tea.

“Why did you hide the tea leaves?”

“I didn’t hide it, I put it deep inside.”

what’s the difference…?

“… so why?”

“Because tea leaves can never be bought again. to save money.”

“…Ah, that’s right.”

As I listened to her, I wondered if I could go into the woods and look for something to make tea with.

But I didn’t say it out of my mouth, but Sylvia smiled and opened her mouth as if she had read my thoughts.

“Honestly, if you boil the flowers and boil them, it’s flower tea, and if you pick and boil pine needles, that’s pine needle tea, but as for real tea leaves like this, all that’s left is a little bit left in this barrel. That’s why I only drink it on days I really want to drink or on very special occasions.”

After she explained, she carefully poured two cups of tea and handed me one cup.

Well, the possibility of tea trees in this forest is very small, and it may be difficult for ordinary people who do not know how to make black tea like this, although they may be lucky enough to get tea leaves.

In fact, if I had tea leaves, I could have caught the fish better than before, but I could fully understand her feelings of not wanting to use precious black tea to catch fish.

When I was living in the mansion, I drank a lot thanks to the Countess who liked tea.

Personally, I preferred milk tea, but the Countess used to say that black tea should always be drunk black.

The bitter taste that I didn’t like at first was now completely used to it.

The smell of black tea, which I hadn’t smelled in a while, made me feel better.

No, even if it’s been a while, it was actually only a month or two ago.

Countess, Countess.

Will the two of you be okay?

Will Alice noona be okay?

Suddenly, the people I left behind in the outside world began to come to mind.

It was relatively easy to accept the fact that I had to stay in the forest because I lost all my family members, but when I thought about it, they were people I missed very much.

I took a sip of tea to get rid of my thoughts.

Fragrant bitterness and sweet astringency.

hmm. Black tea is right.

It feels warm not only in the body but also in the heart.

I took another sip and asked her.

“Is today a special day?”

“The day I slept with you.”

“Khehehe!”

I spurted out that precious black tea.

Sylvia-san giggled at me.

＊

After drinking tea and digesting food, Sylvia and I went to the riverside for training.

She came with a large bear skin that had been cut in half yesterday and held it out to me.

“What is this?”

“Put it on.”

The bearskin wasn’t processed into clothes, it was just the leather.

I asked blankly.

“Do you want to wear it?”

“huh.”

“how?”

“Just look around. With the idea of covering the belly somehow.”

The weather was moderately cool, but it was still summer.

If it’s training, it’s definitely a matter of using your body, but if you run wearing fur like this, you might pass out from the heat.

I looked at Mr. Sylvia with a puzzled expression, but she just smiled.

“… should I wear it?”

“If you don’t want to die.”

“…yes?”

She smiled and pointed her finger somewhere.

I slowly moved my gaze along her fingers.

There lay the torso of a bear that had become inedible and had been abandoned.

It looks like she brought it here.

Sylvia chanted a short spell and created a thumb-sized piece of ice from her hand.

Then he threw it at the bear’s corpse.

The bear’s body exploded.

“…”

“Ah, I need to adjust my strength.”

“…”

“You told me last night what you were going to do? Wear it if you don’t want to die.”

Without saying a word, I wrapped the bearskin all over my body.

Correct.

Bears are helpful in life.

She will throw that ice at me from now on.

With that power that made the bear explode… No, please pray that she doesn’t lose control.

If not, it might go through the bearskin I wrapped around me, through my belly skin, and even through the trees on the other side of the river.

I felt the same level of fear I had yesterday when I heard a bear coming up from a tree towards me.

She looked at me, nodded, and smiled.

“ruler. start training. run.”
