It had been an hour since we left Avaris, and I thought we would be in a carriage for this escort mission.

I thought a mission like this would be easy. Now I could see why it was worth two platinum coins.

Olivia, beside me, didn\'t look too thrilled about this job. I could understand her frustration, but it was already too late to complain.

In novels, doesn\'t the main character always sit beside the manager in the carriage? Who am I kidding? It\'s not like I\'m some charismatic main character.

"How are the two of you holding up?" Kimi asked while grinning.

"Nothing like you expected, right?" She probably had the same idea when she first did a job like this.

"Don\'t worry, the both of you will get used to this." I rather not doing a task like this was too much work. I might as well choose a different task next time.

"Olivia, let\'s buy a transportation artifact next time," I said. I would self-improve with Olivia. Still, exercising was pretty useless, considering we have mana.

"Agreed." Olivia was on board with this idea.

The scenery was the same for the most part. Everything was just a forest with a road to walk by. It was a good thing that we hadn\'t encountered any monsters.

"Olivia, I\'m sorry." It was so dull, and I regret picking a mission like this. Olivia looked toward me and understood why I was apologizing to her.

"I\'m going to make you work extra hard. In bed." She said those two words extremely quietly, only for me to hear.

I wasn\'t sure if I wanted to do it with her here. There were many people here that could catch us in the act.

Even if we bought a noise canceller, there was a chance that if one of us woke up late, it would be all over. Olivia, I would have to talk to her about this late at night when no one was around.

It wasn\'t long before some presence arrived near the carriage. A pack of hungry rank two wolves was lurking around us.

Looking at the leader howl, I could tell that he was a rank three monster. "Stop the carriage!" Kayla yelled at the coach to stop the carriage.

The wolves were on standby, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Why would I let them strike first when I could do so?

Firing a beam of my magic, I had already killed three of the wolves. And more were still going to die from my beam.

The pack leader growled, looking at its pack die to my magic. Before I could cause any more harm to them, the leader ran straight toward me.

Before it could reach me, both of Kimi\'s friends had weakened the wolf leader. Kimi herself jumped toward the wolf leader and grabbed it by the head, smashing it to the ground.

With the wolf leader killed quickly, the rest of the wolves ran away in fear. This battle was pretty easy, I wished it was a bit harder, so my boredom would\'ve been relieved.

"Charlie, that was a nice shot. Thankfully we didn\'t wait a long time before they struck first." It couldn\'t be helped. Kimi, our main attacker, didn\'t have any range moves. On the other hand, Angie didn\'t even have moves that could help.

After picking up the bodies of the dead wolves, we went onwards. It was good that the sun was at its peak, well, for me, that is.

Olivia was sweating a bit. "If you\'re hot, make some ice to cool down."

Olivia had the tools to do so. So making them wouldn\'t be a bother to anyone. It was already near lunch. By now, the carriage had stopped.

It wouldn\'t be funny if someone here died from hunger. Sitting on a carpet that we bought, Olivia had made us a fancy meal.

"Do you mind if the three of us joined?" Kimi and her friends asked.

I looked at Olivia, and she didn\'t mind. Switching my position to beside Olivia, I said. "Go on right ahead."

Having the three of them join the mix, Olivia created more food. Lunch was nice with Olivia\'s magic.

"Thanks for the meal!" Kimi thanked Olivia for the food she had created.

"I had heard that your food was pretty good. But I didn\'t think it was that good." Kimi was someone who knew how to talk.

"It is also nice that you joined us. It is not common for us to eat fresh food out in the wild while traveling."

Returning to our post, I could see Kayla was dissatisfied with us. Was she jealous that she couldn\'t eat Olivia\'s food? Maybe we should invite her for the next meal.

Our day went the same as the rest. I loved it the most when the sun was at its peak. That was when I felt the best.

Now my mood was going down by the minute. The sun was going down, and more monsters would approach.

Nighttime was when the hunters would come and play. Olivia and I wouldn\'t have any intimate times during our trip.

"We\'re going to set camp for the night." It was getting dark, and going further wouldn\'t be safe. Olivia and I had a tent that was an artifact, and it didn\'t take long for us to set up.

Kayla and Kimi\'s group also had an artifact that would house them safely. Only Kayla\'s employee and Angie would have to do them manually. I sometimes pity the poor.

Before we ate dinner and slept, Kayla had to discuss something with us. "Before we sleep, I want us to decide our shifts for the night."

Olivia had forgotten that we had to do this. Her lovely plan had been ruined just by those words.

"Then do you mind if my friend and I go first?" Some people who heard me say that were dissatisfied with my choice. Everyone here wanted first or last.

"I will let everyone here eat my friend\'s delicious fresh cooking." She would have agreed with me if I didn\'t ask for Olivia\'s opinion.
