Chapter 215: Can’t Sleep After All

Inside the cramped tent, the sound of multiple people breathing in their sleep filled the air.

“Zzz… Zzz…”

“…So, this is how it ends.”

Rest muttered to himself.

After returning to the camp, Rest had been thoroughly lectured for his reckless actions before finally lying down to sleep.

Although it was nearly dawn, he had no choice but to try to rest. The excitement from the worm meat had kept him awake all night, leaving him with no sleep whatsoever.

Even if his mind was wide awake, his body—strained from the intense battle—was screaming for rest. Ideally, he’d sink into sleep like sinking into a swamp, but… circumstances wouldn’t allow it.

“Mmm… No more food… A classroom full of pig trotters is too much… If the cows join in, then…”

“What kind of dream is that?”

The one muttering unusually clear sleep talk was, unsurprisingly, Yuri.

Yuri was clinging to Rest as she slept.

Her slender, graceful limbs were wrapped around his body in an embrace.

Even though her arms were slim, Yuri’s strength far surpassed Rest’s, making it impossible for him to escape. It was borderline terrifying how tight her grip was—enough to make him wonder if she might strangle him in her sleep.

After returning to camp, Rest had intended to sleep alone as usual. But, as a punishment to ensure he didn’t sneak off again, he had been forced to share a tent with Yuri.

Previously, he’d claimed he needed solitude to maintain the magic barrier, but he’d unintentionally demonstrated that the barrier could remain intact if properly fueled with magic beforehand.

Having recharged the barrier earlier, it would hold until dawn without issue.

“Ah… The pig trotters and the roast are fighting…”

“Mmm…”

As if refusing to let him escape, Yuri clung to him even tighter.

Her chest and thighs pressed against him mercilessly, their softness making their presence unmistakable.

The situation was so compromising it was difficult to imagine any explanation other than a post-incident one.

If Yuri’s father had been there to witness this, he would undoubtedly have flown into a berserk rage.

“Meat… More meat…”

“You’re the meat here… Maybe I should eat you instead.”

Rest muttered, still managing to retain some sense of humor.

If he had still been in the hyper state induced by the worm meat, he had no doubt he would’ve acted on impulse.

“Zzz… Zzz…”

Rest, fortified by a steel-like self-restraint, endured. But there was another reason he couldn’t lay a hand on Yuri.

Sleeping on the opposite side of him was another girl.

“Zzz… Zzz…”

“You too… Urla?”

There she was—Urla Lavender.

Urla was sleeping in the same tent as Yuri.

Rest had considered asking her to use a different tent, but somehow, she had ended up there as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Zzz… Zzz…”

“…Please, stop staring at me like that.”

To make matters worse, Urla was staring straight at him—even while asleep.

Some people slept with their eyes half-open, but Urla was of the rare type who slept with her eyes wide open.

Her eyes were so fully open it seemed as if her eyeballs might pop out, and they stared directly at Rest, filling him with an inexplicable sense of guilt.

“……”

(Still… Those are such strange eyes…)

Rest stared back into Urla’s eyes and had a sudden thought.

At first glance, he had assumed her eyes were the color of amethyst, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to shimmer with a rainbow-like brilliance.

It was a macabre thought, but if such eyes were gemstones, they would undoubtedly fetch a high price.
