-Gen's POV-

"Thank you for showing me that trick."She said with a bright smile and her eyes still red from crying.

"Always my pleasure~. So now for the fundamentals... As you know, Tsukasa does not envision to rebuild civilization. The people I mentioned before belong to the Kindom of Science, whose goal is to bring back civilization.The founder is called Senku-chan. In him, so to speak, lies the knowledge of humanity.
I am planning to change sides because: ...''
I explained her in detail what Senku has already accomplished and his future plans, as well as what had happened in the past.

"It feels so good to know all of that. At least I am less anxious I can have now hope for the future." she said with a relieved voice.
"You know what? I'm coming with you! My name is by the way (y/n)!" She added enthusiastically while sticking out her hand.
"You're gonna be in trouble if Tsukasa-chan finds that out!~" I paused and looked at her hand. The fact that she reached her hand to me made me smile, I shook her hand while saying: "I am Gen. Nice to meet you Newbie-chan."
"If so I'm just gonna tell him that you manipulated me to do so." She chuckled.

I couldn't help it but had to smirk because her method to get away with it was actually clever.
"Huh? Nice play. That is something I would say."

"Anyways we need 2 hours until we reach Senku and the others. I think we should sleep now and set out in the early morning."

-Y/N POV-

Before I began to lie down, I nodded. Man, that feels super uncomfortable, not lying in a bed.
It is kinda chilly. "I doubt that I can sleep like that. I am not used to it sleeping outdoors." I stated while looking to him.

He thought for a moment.
Then he took off his cloak and covered me with it. "I hope that serves you." He smiled.

"Huh???" Because of his actions I began to blush. I was sure he wouldn't see it since it's middle of the night.
('Aaaaaaa I am so awkward that I blush just because of this. Stop thinking you should  thank him!!!')
"Th-thank- Aaah why am I stuttering?"

...

"Did I said it out loud?"
And of course he laughed instead of answering it.
I sighed out of embarrassement.

"Thank you, it's way more comfortable." Trying to leave that incident behind me, I turned to the side, looking away from him, feeling ashamed.

«Good night Newbie-chan~»
«My name is (y/n). You're silly, good night."
He lay beside me with enough personal space so it doesn't bother me.
Trying to sleep, I cuddled myself into his comfy cloak.

-Next Morning-

('I couldn't sleep at all. My mind just wouldn't shut up. Paranoia always kicks in, I wish I could be more calm.') I sat up and looked at Gen who was still sleeping in peace.
"cute."

I got up and looked at his cloak, I grabbed it and tried it on. ('It is sooooo comfortable and warm!')
"I am a mentalist I wear a top hat, without my hat I can't summon any bunnies!"

Finally, the sleeping beauty got up from his sleep and looked at me with a "really now" face.
"Good morning sir! You missed my performance." I went full on English. Lack of sleep causes that I tend to be dazed, which means I am more open up and can be super hyper, almost not knowing the word shame.

"Oh sir! I think you cannot understand me. This show is only in English, I am sorry!"

"Miss Newbie, I could just understand every single word that you've said." He answered in English without any problem.
Impressed by his English pronunciation I gasped and applauded.
"That's so cool! how come?"
"I studied in my free time because a as famous mentalist I want to go more often overseas to perform."

"Oh, you really are a mentalist? I'm sorry that I made fun of you, I didn't know that."
"It's fine Nebwie-chan it was actually really charming, you look good as a wannabe mentalist~"
Huh? I wasn't charming I am just dazed af. I had to yawn.

"By the way I didn't sleep all night."

"That explains a lot why you are so cocky. You will get sleep later when we are there." While getting up he said: "Let's head out Newbie-chan."

"Mister Mentalist, I have a name!"

We walked for a while now and I was surprised that he didn't seemed to have troubles while walking barefoot. "Gen-chaaaan I am way to tired, you should carry me." Trying to mimic him while complaining at the same time.
He sighed. "You will get a bowl of ramen if you walk by yourself."
Instantly I ran in the direction we needed to go.
"Be careful! There are a lot of big roots! You might tri-''

-Gen's POV-

"Annnnd she tripped."
Quickly I approached her to help her.
"Are you alright?" She mumbled something facing the ground.

"Ehh? What did you say?"

"I can't hear anything when you talk to ground~"
She turned her head to the side and whispered: "My left ankle hurts so bad I think I am going to die."

"I got stabbed and I didn't die so, you won't either. You are able to sit up, right?"
Slowly she began to sit up.
"I am unlike you not a immortal."
With out thinking she wanted to get up. "Ouch."
She was about to fall into me. I caught her, holding her shoulder.
"Don't be so reckless, Sleepy-chan."
('She really needs her sleep, huh?')

"You saved my life, Genny-chan!~ I guess now you have to carry me!"

I ended up carring her. At least she sleept on my back. "I am gonna have lots of fun with you (y/n)-chan~"

//
Aye, finally done.
I hope I didn't write to repetive with the pronouns,, It was a challenge, because english isn't my main language and I hope it's enjoyable to read...  :3
Have a good day! uwu
