I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess

Chapter 20: A Perilous Journey (5)

After last night’s attack, I managed to get a bit of sleep.

Sirien held out for quite a while on the first watch. Longer than I expected.

When she cautiously nudged me awake, she looked like she was about to cry, but she seemed to have endured well on her own.

However, she was quite scared of the night until she fell back asleep.

“Ugh, the leaves keep rustling in the wind… and there are strange noises too. I’m sorry, but could you stay with me for a bit? Just for a moment.”

“Why not just sleep? You’ve done enough.”

“Really? Then just for a little while, hold my hand again.”

So, I spent the night with one hand held captive, and Sirien, who had fallen into a deep sleep, woke up to a painful morning.
