The Extra's Harem In Dead End Game

Chapter 98: A Stormy Escape

Anyway, I agreed. She is the named heroine who is helping me the most right now. There is absolutely nothing wrong with bringing things closer together.

And th I thought about it again. The fact that she, who couldn't ev swim, brought me to the lakeside means that she trusted me that much. It might not be an exaggeration to interpret this as a trustworthy presce ev in pottially dangerous places.

"Th let's ride."

"Yeah, yeah."

We took a ferry and wt into the lake. At first, Hiresia seemed very nervous, but as time passed, her expression relaxed a bit.

*Whack. Whack.*

I asked, rowing hard, "Where should I go?"

"Go straight to the cter."

"Aha."

I nodded as if I understood.

*Whack. Whack.*

The course was set right in the cter of the lake.

"But you chose this place?"

"Yes. I think if you go there, you'll see a view that I really like."

A slightly difficult task that appeared in a surprise quest. Now I can understand. It might be easy for some, but for her, going deep into the lake would require a lot of courage.

'Oh, so that's what it was.'

Now I know why this quest appeared in the first place. Because I've never be this close to the main character at this point in my career. To be honest, ev now, it's more like a relationship betwe frids of differt races rather than a relationship betwe a man and a woman.

Rather, I felt relieved because it was less burdsome.

"Okay, we've arrived."

I stopped the ferry.

The wind was calm. If the boat were rocking back and forth, it would be difficult to draw, but fortunately, that didn't seem to be the case.

"Oh, indeed! This body's prediction was not wrong!"

Hiresia let out a satisfied sigh, her eyes shining. Flowers in the fields spread out across the lakeside. Beautiful, colorful wildflowers were showing off their harmonious beauty.

The mist that hung lightly over it added to the charm.

"Good."

It was such a beautiful view that I wanted to take a picture. If this were captured in a painting, it would definitely be art.

"Haha, really? Th let's do that."

Hiresia spread out the canvas and picked up the charcoal.

*Swish swish.*

Hiresia was sketching with charcoal. *Oh....*

I oped my eyes wide at the skill that was much more proficit than I had expected. In fact, it was the first time I had se her draw. She must have be handling art tools since she came into the human world, but her hand movemts were not ordinary.

Wouldn't this be considered a pretty top-tier skill? I wanted to say something, but I held back because it was obvious that it would be a distraction from conctrating on drawing. I watched her draw quietly in silce.

After finishing the sketch, she took out her brush in earnest.

"Can you get me some water?"

"Yeah, yeah. Since it's already 70% complete, I can go back and do the rest... ... ."

"Th let's go."

I started rowing with all my might.

A faster speed than before.

The boat naturally rocked more.

Hiresia, balancing with a tse expression. She was scared because she couldn't swim.

But I didn't have the luxury of caring about her right now.

I looked straight ahead and rowed hard toward the dock.

Suddly.

*Crack.*

Unexpectedly, she reached out and grabbed the back of my shirt.

I could feel her hand trembling.

'Ugh'

Why does my face heat up in such a situation? Hearts are truly strange things.

Just a momt ago, there was no sse of male-female relations betwe us. To me, she was just a fridly otherworldly creature, nothing more, nothing less.

I bit my lip and forcibly calmed myself down.

Now was not the time to be distracted.

*Swish. Swish. Swish.*

The rowboat cut through the water, moving swiftly forward. Fortunately, we reached the dock before the storm hit.

"Get off, sior!"

I said, picking up the basket of art supplies. I also had a lunchbox in my backpack, but that was manageable.

"Th-thank you."

Hiresia quickly disembarked with her canvas.

I looked up at the sky to assess the situation.

It seemed the cloud would reach the academy before us.

Th.

"Let's hurry over there, sior!"

A small wood building by the lake. Usually, it's the lakekeeper's place, but it should be empty on a holiday.

Whatever the case, it would provide shelter from the rain.

"Okay!"

We rushed to the wood building.

Just as we slammed the door shut behind us,

*Boom! Crash! Whoosh!*

The sky darked, and the downpour began.
