I was suddenly woken up by a feeling of something massaging my face. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Fujiwara looking at me with a smile on she face. I hadn't even realized I was falling asleep. Looking around, I could see the other girls sitting around the campfire. It had already gotten dark, indicating that I had already been asleep for a few hours.

"What happened?"

I asked, fixing my gaze on Fujiwara. Hearing my question, she put a playful smile on her face. For some reason, she was finding the situation quite funny. I really couldn't understand this girl.

"When we got here, we found you sleeping"

Fujiwara said. Hearing her words, I let out a sigh and started to get up. After that, Fujiwara and I approached the campfire and sat down. As soon as she and I sat down, I felt the girls' glances in my direction.

"What?"

I asked as I looked at them. Hearing my question, the girls looked at each other for a few seconds and soon turned their gaze to me. Then, Aoi-sensei began to speak.

"Well... we are not used to this new form of yours yet"

Said Aoi-sensei, looking at me. Hearing his words, I looked at Saemi and saw her nodding her head, showing that she also agreed with Aoi-sensei. Ana and Fujiwara seemed indifferent to this matter. I, on the other hand, didn't particularly mind staying in some specific form, even if the human form is a bit uncomfortable sometimes.

"Mimicry"

I said. As soon as I said this, a black mist surrounded me, and soon I had reverted to my human form again. Taking one of the fish that was on the fire, I started to eat while thinking about what points I should tell the girls about what happened today on my side.

"Did you guys find anything while exploring the forest?"

I asked while eating my fish. Hearing my question, Saemi, Fujiwara, and Aoi-sensei shook their heads. Ana seemed indifferent to this and continued eating her fish, but since they were all together, I thought Ana couldn't have found anything either.

"While exploring the ocean, I found the location of the boss. It's under the water"

I said suddenly, causing all the girls to look at me in surprise. From their looks, I'm sure they weren't expecting that we would be able to find the boss's spot so quickly.

"Wait, what? How did you find the boss's spot so fast?"

Saemi asked while looking at me. Aoi-sensei and Fujiwara seemed to share the same questions as Saemi.

"Well... it wasn't exactly me who found it. While I was swimming, I was pulled to the bottom of the sea by a colossal octopus. After that, I found a temple inside the sea. My goddess told me that inside that temple was the boss"

Hearing my words, all the girls were visibly surprised, even Ana, who was being indifferent to almost everything that was happening, was looking at me with slightly wide eyes.

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?"

Saemi and Aoi-sensei asked at the same time, both seemed genuinely concerned, although she was relatively quiet Ana was also standing next to the two showing her concern, Fujiwara seemed more interested in the story than truly concerned.

"I'm fine... although that giant octopus almost drowned me something killed it, thanks to that I was able to absorb the octopus, now I can breathe and see under the water"

I said nonchalantly, strangely enough although I almost died a few hours ago I really can't feel anxious or afraid, and as if my mind and body are not connected, this also proved to be true when the octopus was taking me to the bottom of the sea.

(That probably has something to do with my new race, doesn't it? and the only plausible reason I can think of)

I thought as I finished eating my fish, after everyone finished eating, we started to get ready for bed, as usual I was the last one to sleep as I looked at the faces of Aoi-sensei, Ana and Saemi, while the 3 slept Fujiwara was lying down looking at the sky.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

Fujiwara asked turning her gaze towards me while keeping a smile on her face.

"I'm not sleepy.... you can sleep first"

I said nonchalantly, hearing my words Fujiwara pouted for a few seconds before a smile opened on her face, soon she started to stand up with a smile while looking at me.

"Makoto, would you like to accompany me for a few minutes?"

Fujiwara asked as she looked at me, hearing her words I raised an eyebrow.

"Where to?"

I asked as I looked at her, hearing my question Fujiwara looked at me as she wagged her finger in my direction.

"Usually, men just accept you know?"

Fujiwara said as she sighed, but what can I do, it's not like I have too many friends to know how to act in those situations.

"Well... I guess it's okay"

I said sighing, hearing my words a smile formed on Fujiwara's face as she grabbed my arm and pulled me along.

"Yes, and this is how it is done, I have something prepared for you, I am sure you will like it"

Said Fujiwara smiling, after that Fujiwara led me to the entrance of the forest behind some bushes and trees, although we were hidden, the place Fujiwara had taken me to could still be seen the campfire burning along with the girls sleeping.

"What exactly did we come here to do?"

I asked as I looked around, hearing my words Fujiwara put a smile on her face as she unbuttoned her shirt, after taking off her shirt her bra along with her dark skin was in view, soon after that Fujiwara lowered her skirt exposing her beautiful legs along with the panties.

"Obviously we came here to have sex, what else did you think it would be?"

Fujiwara said as she looked at me with a naughty expression on her face.
