I woke up in the middle of the night and went to check to make sure that there wasn't any signs of spiders. It was clear but I noticed something, Yukino was out of bed and was on her way outside.

"Going somewhere?"

She looked at me.

"I just need some fresh air."

I raised a brow.

"I'll go with you."

She got nervous.

"Y-You don't have to come. Really, I'll just be outside."

I raised a brow then nodded. She went outside and went to get my sling shot that I had made while I was out earlier.

When I got outside I sat next to her.

We didn't say anything at first then Yukino spoke.

"Miss Orland, which part of Yakuma is your favorite spot?"

I didn't look at her.

"The very area we're in. I used to be so scared because I was always alone but then as time went on I got used to it."

"What about your parents?"

"Not much on my mother but as for my father, he's someone I fear."

I glanced at Yukino only to see that her expression was a saddened one so then I turned my head.

"Not really thanking the old head but because of his ways I'm not fragile."

She looked at me then I looked away.

From afar I saw a spider on a tree and got my sling shot ready. I wasn't going to kill the small creature but I couldn't let Yukino see it either. I fired my sling shot only as a warning for the spider to leave which it did then I rose to my feet.

"Let's go back in. I plan on doing my work out training when the sun comes up."

She nodded then we went inside.

When the sun came up Erza and I were outside doing out hand to hand combat spar. As far as I knew Erza and I were rivals but when it came to hunting and surviving I had the upper hand.

I went on to spar with Erza but then we stopped when I smelled something in the air.

"They're cooking."

Erza blinked and sniffed the air.

"Just how strong is your sense of smell?"

We both went into the house and sure enough saw Yukino and Lucy in the kitchen. Yukino was cooking and Lucy was talking about Erza and I.

"You know, Yukino our two escorts are attractive."

"I agree but..."

"But?"

"I'm certain that they much rather be free with their jobs. I mean from what they're saying about being a SEAR member sounds like a job that is not only hard to join but it seems that one would have to be married to it."

"True. I mean I noticed how you look at Orland. She is hot but I'm sure you'd be perfect for her. After all she gave you her food last night."

"I felt so bad."

"She just wanted to make sure that you wouldn't go hungry."

"But still she needs the food more than me, she's the one who's part of SEAR."

Erza and I both left the two alone to set up the table. Erza knew about romance better than I did but for me I just didn't care. I was never really interested about them.

When breakfast was ready all four of us ate together.

Yukino had made these pancakes with oatmeal on the side. I was impressed with her cooking then looked at her while Erza spoke.

"So what's the plan for today?"

Lucy smiled.

"Yukino and I are going to be learning about the different plants in this area."

I nodded.

"Alright. Erza will be here with you both while I'll look for dinner."

Lucy looked at me.

"Would you allow us to tag along?"

"No. It's too dangerous."

Erza smiled.

"Out of all of us Minerva's an awesome huntress so we don't have to worry about going to the city for food."

We finished our meal then I helped Yukino clear off the table. Lucy and Yukino went to take of the dishes while Erza and I were in the hallway.

Lucy looked at us with a smirk.

"Yukino, since you're acting like a housewife you should kiss Orland on the cheek or something."

I raised a brow and Yukino stuttered.

"L-Lucy...I-I can't do that..."

Erza and I share a glance then Erza motioned me to go to Yukino.

I went to Yukino only to say something.

"It's not a bi-"

Yukino had struck me in the head with a frying pan hard enough that I fell to the floor. Yukino shrieked and rushed to my side picking my head up.

"Miss Orland, are you alright?"

"Father...forgive me..."

I passed out after that.

When I came to I opened my eyes to see that Yukino was looking at me with a saddened expression.

"Aguria..."

"I'm so sorry, Miss Orland. I didn't mean to do that to you."

"I'm impressed that you could hit like that."

She looked away then I smiled.

"Your surviving skills just need a little adjusting."

I blinked.

"What is my head on?"

"My lap. I couldn't get into your room to get a pillow."

I nodded then sat up and looked at her.

"That's fine then. However, I have to get some meat for dinner."

"I'll come with you."

"No."

I rose to my feet and got my knife. I turned to look at her.

"Practice getting bullets out of someone."

Yukino nodded and I went to the door only for Yukino to say something.

"Please come back safely."

I looked at her.

"I'm just going hunting."

I left after that and went to a part of the forest that wasn't safe. I began searching for any animals that would be nearby but couldn't find anything.

"A housewife huh?"
