Monster Integration (Web Novel)
chapter-94

I couldn't control myself and let out a shout of happiness as I got out of the valley with rhea.

I was high on my nerves in the last one and a half day, only after getting out of valley did I felt safe again.

I opened the map and check for the location of a small lake that we have trying to reach past few days and from the map I can see that we just have to walk for little more than an hour to reach there.

We picked our pace without wasting time, although it not necessary for us to go there as our main objective to there to find a way to reach home but now that we have to know about gathering from Andrew and Neil.

We still want to go there if someone is their or not, it will be good if we found someone they're as will companions on the way to gathering and even if we did not find anyone there, we will make the journey toward the wasteland, although it will be dangerous what choice did we have.

As time passes, the lake appeared before our eyes. walking near it except for a few monsters, we didn't discover any human.

"Didn't that tree stump little odd?" I asked as we found a large tree stump near the lake as there are no large trees near the lake.

"Yes, really odd!" she said, we walk toward the tree stump, as we drew near we noticed that some paper sticking on the tree stump.

Its the paper! the same paper that Andrew and Neil showed us, which marked the destination of the gathering.

"Someone must have left it here, others to find." she said, "Yes, looking at all signs around here, there were a lot of people here yesterday if we had arrived here yesterday, we would have able to catch up with them," I said.

"Let's look around the lake to see if we could find anything more." said Rhea, "Ok," I replied and we both started to look around the lake yesterday.

The lake serene, except for few low-level monsters there is nothing else, This small lake should be the territory of Corporal level monsters and its Specialist grade minions but there no sign of it.

They probably killed and hunted then eaten by the adventurers who stayed. Except for few footprints and snack packs here and there, I didn't see anything.

"Did you find anything?" I asked, "No, there is nothing!" She replied, I have expected we find nothing but there is also an exception and don't want to miss anything.

"We should set up a camp!" She said, ''right!" I said and started to find a good place to set up a camp, I soon found a good spot and activated tent artifact there

We both are feeling tired and wanted to rest a little, especially rhea as she fought most.

''I'll cook today, you should get some rest," I said when I saw her making for cooking.

She didn't deny it seeing firmness in my voice, ''I'll take a swim first." She said went inside the tent.

''Ashlyn, keep an eye out!" I asked Ashlyn seeing she is lazily resting on the roof of the camp.

"Chew chew chew!" She chirped in annoyance as she still isn't talking me since morning but seeing I am making food, she stood up on her tiny little legs and started to fly around the tent.

As I am preparing the food, Rhea comes out of the tent wearing a swimsuit, I looked for the second and looked away before she can spot notice me staring at her.

Despite looking away after taking a look only for a second, the memory of Rhea in swimsuit had itched in my mind.

Rhea is only seventeen and hadn't fully matured yet but she still looked stunning.

Her perfectly toned body without ounce on fat it, her b.r.e.a.s.t that hadn't fully grown but still looked full that one wanted to do countless things with them.

As Rhea walked toward the lake, I got the clear look of her perfect back and her ass and it feels amazing.

Although I don't have any feelings for rhea other friend but seeing a beautiful girl in a half-n.a.k.e.d cloths, anyone's emotions will rise especially sixteen-year boy who is high on hormones.

And that swimsuit didn't help either, it is very revealing that left little to the imagination.

We have found this swimsuit with some other girls clothing in Neil and Andrews camp, they must have trapped some poor girl in their vicious scheme to have ladies clothes in their camp.

I quickly controlled myself and cast out rhea's half-n.a.k.e.d form out of my mind and fully concentrated on the cooking.

I had learned a lot from watching rhea and Andrew cooking and I am quite sure in few days of cooking and my cooking will equal to rheas.

I am thinking of taking weekly cooking classes if I am successfully able to leave this realm.

Only after living in the forest this week I knew the importance of good food and if I am able to leave this realm alive.

But before that, I have a head home. Sunday has been passed and seeing my I hadn't called and received their call my parents must be worried sick.

To pacify their worry, I have to head home and see my haul this time, I can definitely bring back lots of gifts back home.

Soon rhea comes out of the lake with water dripping from all over the body, it will be very hard to sleep tonight with this memory in my mind.

"You should rest a little, lunch will be ready in half an hour," I said after keeping my emotions in check.

Soon lunch is ready and I called rhea and Ashlyn to eat, in the morning we only ate some packaged monster meat.

We quickly finished eating, after eating I also take freshening dip in the lake as I had had a proper bath since the cave I found rhea in

After bathing and we packed the camp and walk toward the wasteland as we have only seven days to cross the wasteland to reach the scind forest.
