Remember, Never play with a woman's heart again.

I woke up feeling happy.

The reason? Of course because my date with Rika yesterday was extraordinary. In fact, I even dreamed of Rika in my sleep last night.

And I didn't forget to tell Rika about my camping plans either.

I lied to Rika saying I was going camping with my friends. I also told Rika that this was my last winter vacation in high school.

With that reason, Rika also believed.

Actually I feel guilty for lying to Rika, but it can't be helped. I'm doing this for Rika.

I need power to protect myself as well as Rika.

With our Date yesterday, I firmly believed that I needed strength to protect Rika.

Rika attracted too much attention from others, for better or for worse.

[You bad man, you always lie to your lover. Hmph!]

Suddenly came Karen's voice, It seemed she wasn't in a good mood.

"Hehe, Karen, are you jealous?"

[W-who is jealous? It's just your feeling, Master. The system has no jealousy or feelings.]

Hearing Karen's answer just now made me want to tease her. Hehehe.

With a sad expression I said, "Yeah, you're right Karen. You're a system. Too bad. If only you were human, I'd love to date you too."

[Really, Master?]

Karen answered in an enthusiastic voice.

My sad expression immediately disappeared to be replaced by a mocking smile on my face.

"Heh, See? Who said the system didn't have feelings just now? You seemed happy just now."

[How dare you play with a woman's heart, Master. ]

[Ding! Missions: Push Up 200 Times, Sit Up 200 Times, Squat 200 Times, Run 20 Km.

Punishment : The body will experience pain for 2 hour.

*Punishment will be given if the mission fails.]

The smile on my face instantly disappeared as the mission display appeared in front of me and read the mission description.

It was an ordinary mission, only it was multiplied by 2 times.

To make matters worse, I only had 3 hours before to finish this. I have to go to Grandfather Arvin's house at 8 am.

I would definitely be extremely exhausted if I completed this mission before going camping.

"Karen, I'm sorry. I told you the truth, I didn't lie to you."

[Hmph.]

Damn, this definitely won't be easy. Think, think. I have to find a way to make Karen happy and forgive me.

After thinking hard, I finally found 1 way. And I'm sure that it will work.

I immediately put on a pitiful face, and said, "Karen darling, please don't be angry.

[Please say one more time, Master.]

"Tell me what?"

[Call my name like just now.]

"Karen darling."

[Umm, that's really good.]

Hahahaha, I knew that this was a good plan. If it's like this, it's time to move on to the next stage.

"Karen darling, please forgive me. I told the truth earlier, I'm not lying. You believe me right?"

[Umm, I forgive you, Master. Remember, Never play with a woman's heart again. "

"Of course, Karen darling. I will always remember your advice."

Hahaha, easy, very easy. Now is the last step.

"So, Karen darling, can you clear the quest?"

[Ah, about that mission, you should complete it, Master. ]

"Eh?"

My smile and laughter immediately stopped hearing Karen's words just now.

"W-why?"

[I have forgiven you, Master. but a mission is a mission. HAHAHAHAHAHA!]

"KARENNNNNNN!"

[You are very noisy, Master. Your neighbors may scold you. Come on, Master. If you don't complete the mission now, you will be late. ]

------

After completing the damn mission, I immediately took a shower, and changed clothes.

Then, I took a large bag containing the clothes and things I needed.

Luckily I had prepared for this from yesterday, otherwise I would have been even more late.

After making sure that nothing was left behind, I immediately ran to Grandfather Arvin's house.

"Huft... Huft.. Huft.. Forgive me for being late, Grandfather Arvin."

I finally arrived at Grandfather Arvin's house, even though I was 30 minutes late. Damn it, I'm so tired right now, I haven't even rested yet.

Arvin's grandfather looked at me with a confused look.

"why did you come so late, Yuki? And, why do you look so exhausted?"

I was silent for a moment before answering Grandfather Arvin's question,

"Last night I couldn't sleep, because I was nervous about going camping and training with you today Grandpa Arvin.

However, when morning came, I became sleepy and decided to take a short nap, but I didn't expect that I would wake up so late."

'Damn it, Arvin's grandpa must have thought of me like an elementary school kid who was too excited for a school trip.'

[Hahahahaha.]

I ignored or at least tried to ignore Karen's laughter.

Hearing my answer, Grandfather Arvin smiled.

"I see, don't worry, let's go now Yuki."

-----

After hours of traveling from Tokyo by train and bus, as well as taxis. We finally arrived at our destination.

On the way, I asked about the location of this camp, and Grandpa Arvin answered that it was the Forest. However, I don't know which forest Grandpa Arvin wants to go to. Because in this country there are quite a lot of forests.

Just before we entered the Forest, I saw the name of this forest and a signboard.

Seeing the name of this forest, my body immediately froze.

'Isn't this the famous scary and haunted forest? And, I will be camping in this forest for 1 week? Has Grandpa Arvin gone mad? He should have chosen another forest.'

Reluctantly, I followed Grandfather Arvin and entered the forest.

We kept walking and walking deeper into the forest.

And finally, Grandfather Arvin stopped his steps, and I also stopped my footsteps.

In front of us is a fairly large flat land, and near it is a river.

"We'll be camping here, Yuki. Let's prepare the tent."

I nodded my head, and we put up our own tents.

It didn't take long, we finished putting up the tent.

I inspected the inside of the tent while storing the things I brought with me.

After finishing, I lay down my body.

"Yuki, come here!"

My eyes twitched when I heard Grandfather Arvin's voice.

'Couldn't I rest a little longer? It's only been a few minutes since I laid down here.'

I sighed, and went outside the tent.

outside, I saw Grandfather Arvin who had changed his clothes.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Let's start the practice, Yuki."

"WHAT?!"
