I Became a Guide For My Childhood Friend - Chapter 77-2

Look at him now.

Wasn’t he sitting too quietly while staring at her?

His brazen statements made her blush hard out of chagrin.

Was Cassian always this cute?’

To be honest, it was a little good for Cassian to be anxious because of her.

“Promise me you won’t do that when we go back to the barracks.”

Depressed, Cassian sighed as he held out his little finger.

Yernia looked at Cassian’s reluctance with satisfaction.

“You’re so cruel.”

She couldn’t understand what the hell was cruel about it.

She was satisfied with the arrangement, but she couldn’t help but feel bothered.

Yernia narrowed the gap between them.

“A kiss will be alright.”

After crawling on all fours in front of Cassian, she closed her eyes.

Even if they couldn’t do it, a kiss would be fine.

She was confident that it wouldn’t go beyond that point.

Cassian tilted his head and put his lips on Yernia’s.

In his heart, he wanted to peel the blanket away from her but he endured it to the end because he didn’t want to be hated for anything.

‘Yes, of course.’

Cassian’s mouth held her lips together, devouring the upper and the lower wholeheartedly.

His teeth nipped at her lightly as if asking permission to open her mouth, but she feigned ignorance and stayed still.

A little later, Yernia pushed Cassian’s chest and bit her lip.

“I’m letting you off a lot.”

“Why don’t you cut me some slack?”

Yernia scolded Cassian for being disobedient while touching her swollen, plump lips.

“I have something to report to you, Major.”

Upon returning to the barracks, the soldier who found them approached.

When he found Cassian and Yernia arriving at the barracks while holding hands, he looked relieved and immediately reported.  “We’ve got Captain Reward.”

“Yes, hand her over to the superiors.”

“Aren’t you going to see her?”

“Is there a reason why I should?”

Cassian’s brows furrowed as he tilted his head to the side.

The soldier, who understood right away that he had to be careful of his words in front of Yernia, lowered his head.

“No, I’ll turn her over right away.”

“Yes, that’s good.”

The fact that Yernia thought he rescued her late because of the battle, it was clear that she hadn’t thought of Captain Reward deceiving her.

He didn’t have to shock her by explaining everything because he intended to deal with Captain Reward by himself.

“Did Captain Reward deserted the military?”

She didn’t ask earlier because she just heard it from the side, but now she was asking out of bewilderment.

As they proceeded to the barracks, Yernia felt multiple pairs of eyes staring at her and she felt sorry for worrying them.

When she looked up at Cassian, he frowned a little.

“It’s quite common. At least three people would leave every year.”

“Why are you frowning?”

“I was furious at what she did. Well, everything worked out fine but I will never forgive her.”

There must have been something else that she hadn’t figured out about Captain Reward.

Cassian was not the kind of person who would hate someone for no reason, even if he was mean to everyone.

No matter what others do, most people hadn’t affected him in this way.

‘Was my assumption right?’

However, Cassian said that their roads were directly crossed so he wouldn’t have said that if he hadn’t called her himself.

She still had unanswered questions, but she decided to believe Cassian’s words.

Thinking that her husband was furious about something else, she didn’t ask anymore.

Anyway, they’re back in the barracks.

Since then, peaceful days had continued and time had flown by.

“I have something to report to you!” Someone shouted as he walked through the tent curtains.

Yernia, who was reading a book, turned her head in surprise.

The same was true for Cassian, who was watching Yernia with his chin resting in his palm.

Before asking for permission, the person who rolled up the cloth delivered the news like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

“Because a demon suddenly appeared, one of the scouts was taken away!”

Two weeks had passed since Yernia and Cassian returned to the barracks.

In between, Cassian continued to beat up demons large and small even though he was reluctant to accompany Yernia or leave her behind.

But he had to go, so he left Captain Felix behind.

The last time Captain Felix had taken his eyes off Yernia, he seemed to have broken Cassian’s trust.

However, when Captain Felix cried and appealed for one more chance, Yernia agreed.

That was why Cassian left Yernia to him again.

Cassian, who had been in battle until the day before yesterday, was determined not to leave the barracks, claiming that it was his day off.

The promises they made in the cabin were kept in their own way.

Even if one didn’t go out to battle, nobody knew when the monster would pop out.

The situation was still dangerous so the scouts would look around the forest from time to time.

Thus, when someone noticed that a dangerous monster was nearby, he reported it to Cassian.

Then, Cassian would form a strategy based on the report and subdue the monster.

It was impossible for a scout to be captured by a demon so it must be urgent.

Their brief peace was broken.
