The violent storm of dust with low visibility gradually dissipated.
Aker didn't suffer any serious injuries, but a huge wave of magical power blast out at close distance blew his body away, and his back slammed into the trunk behind him, causing a faint pain from time to time.
The other party must have received the same degree of shock. Now that the surroundings have fallen into silence again, the man should be temporarily unable to rush over aggressively as before.
Aker didn't know why he became the target of that person, and the conversation between the two had not been established, but if he could, he would rather not know the answer, as long as he would not meet with that person again.
At this time, it was great that Loulou didn't rush into the fighting circle. When fighting with the man, Aker once worried that Loulou would rush in trying to help him, but she did not make such a dangerous move, so that Aker could concentrate on facing the enemy before him.
The field of vision gradually became clear. The attacker in the dark robe did not flee, but also fell not far from Aker, seeming to lose the ability to continue fighting.
Aker stood up with difficulty. Although the bones all over his body were aching, he still couldn't let his guard down.
"Elder Brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine..."
Loulou rushed over towards Aker and held his staggering body. With Loulou's support, Aker approached the man who fell on the ground.
The opponent should have been directly affected by the magic burst and fell into a coma. Aker squatted down beside that person, and Loulou stood nervously behind Aker.
He reached out his hand cautiously and lifted the dark hood that covered the attacker's face.
"Eh?"
The beautiful long blond hair came out from under the hood, and the delicate face hidden under the hood appeared in front of Aker's eyes.
"A girl?"
Aker could not hide his surprise at the moment. The attacker who almost pushed him to desperation a few minutes ago was actually a girl who looked about his age.
"Why would she..." At this time, Loulou also noticed that the unidentified girl had not simply just fallen into a coma, "Elder Brother, she seems to have difficulty breathing, and her face was very pale..."
Loulou walked forward cautiously, leaned down beside Aker, and gently placed the back of her hand on her forehead.
"It's hot..." Loulou frowned. "We must quickly cool her down, otherwise it will be dangerous to keep letting her have a high fever like this."
"Oh..."
Loulou could always make judgments calmly when encountering troublesome things. In addition, in order to take care of herself, she had also learned some medical knowledge. Aker knew that it was the most correct choice to follow her instruction now.
"If possible, I hope Elder Brother can help me prepare enough water," Loulou did not hesitate to put her hand into the blonde girl's clothes, "Sure enough, her underwear is also wet..."
"I see, we can't just leave her alone, right? Let's send her back to the tent first."
Although Aker's body ached, there was no problem for him to carry her back to the tent with Loulou, not to mention the two people's tent was not far from here.
To be on the safe side, Aker took out the rope he was carrying and temporarily tied the hands and feet of the unconscious blonde girl. This was the gentlest emergency treatment, so if she woke up halfway, she wouldn't do anything to Loulou.
After that, Aker fetched enough cool water from the creek according to Loulou's instructions. And then, Loulou would handle the rest. Because Loulou reminded Aker many times that he was not allowed to enter the tent without her permission, Aker had to stay outside the tent and wait patiently for Loulou to finish the treatment.
As for the reason for the sudden attack, Aker still had no idea.
The face of the blonde girl had never been seen by Loulou and Aker before, so it was undoubtedly a stranger who they had never met in the past. Why would she want to attack him?
Except for asking the girl after she woke up, Aker didn't think there were other ways to find out the answer.
…………
Night fell.
The forest at night was full of the noises of unknown bugs.
Accompanied by the forest nocturne, Aker sat by the fire, feeling a little drowsy.
"Elder Brother?" At this time, Loulou walked out of the tent. "You must be exhausted today. You should go to rest early? I can take over from now."
She was holding wet clothes in her hands, which should be the wet underwear of the blonde girl.
"I'll wait until she wakes up," Aker tried to stay awake in front of Loulou, not wanting her to see his tired appearance, "How is she?"
"The fever has basically gone, and after a night's rest, she should get better tomorrow."
Loulou skillfully used thicker branches to set up a few short supports and spread the clothes beside the fire.
Aker looked away with embarrassment because he caught a glimpse of a girl's underwear that he would not normally see.
"Elder Brother, what should we do next?"
Without asking Loulou, Aker knew that the current situation was not as peaceful as it seemed. Even if it was a delicate girl who was seriously ill, it was an unquestionable fact that she attacked Aker and Loulou without warning.
Before confirming the identity and purpose of the other party, Aker could not take her lightly. Therefore, naturally, it was impossible for him to sleep peacefully tonight.
"Just wait until she wakes up, don't think too much for now."
"Okay……"
Loulou sat next to Aker by the fire. Warmth quickly enveloped their bodies. Accompanied by the noises of tiny insects, there was a relaxed silence between the two.
"Elder brother."
"Huh?"
"Can I sleep here tonight?"
"Um... Indeed, there is only one tent, and you cannot be alone with her..."
Aker was in a quandary. Ignoring her elder brother's quandary, Loulou leaned her head against his shoulder.
"Good night, Elder Brother."
"…Mhm."
Feeling the reassuring weight, Aker stroked Loulou's head.
Soon, the noises of tiny insects finally disappeared. Only the occasional "crack" sound of the fire and Loulou's steady breathing surrounded Aker.
