The Great Wall

I didn't know how to respond to such an absurd request! I was perfectly fine walking on my own!


"I can walk by myself. Why don't you ask your brother?"


"I… I don't know. He just wont let me."


"Hmm… why don't you train some other way? You don't have to train by carrying people you know?"


"Ah.. you are right… it's just that I can't really do anything else while we are walking. I… I feel like I am losing precious time! I… need to get stronger…"


I wanted to ask more but Mark called behind and said that we should take a break.


I didn't have anything with me but Mark was carrying a pack of supplies. He gave me some water and food as well so I was really thankful to him. Not only did these two rescue me but they are sharing food and water with me when they clearly didn't have much to share.


After taking a small break we decided to continue on our way. As soon as I stood up, Cindy came before me and turned around.


"How about if I carry you on my back instead. It will be more comfortable! I promise!"


I hit my hand on my face. Why did she insist on carrying me? How did changing the way she carried me mattered? I could walk on my own and it was embarrassing for me to be carried by a girl, especially one who was younger than me!


I didn't know how to tell my thoughts to her. Just as I was about to refuse again...


"Sigh… fine. But you can't carry me for too long."


"Sure! Let me know when you want to get down and I will put you down right away!"


Cindy turned around and hugged me happily. I was surprised by her enthusiasm. There must be some reason she is so desperate. 


She turned around and got in position to carry me. I jumped up on her back half expecting her to fall but she caught me easily. I wrapped my legs around her waist and kept my hands on her shoulders. Cindy was not satisfied with this and pulled my arms and wrapped them around her neck making me lean on her back.


After a few more adjustments Cindy started walking. Mark got in step with us and we resumed our journey.


To my surprise, the pace was actually faster than before. Mark was walking almost twice the speed as before and Cindy was keeping pace with him. I started to wonder if they had been going slower in consideration for me.


To be honest, Cindy's back was not very comfortable either. She was just too skinny and didn't seem to have any soft spots on her. I wasn't going to complain though. A thought suddenly came to me and I decided to verify it.


I grabbed the upper part of Cindy's right arm and tried to press. To my suprise, even this part of her body was hard.


"Wha.. what are you doing?" Cindy asked, a bit flustered.


Cindy flexed her arms and just as I had thought, I could feel her strong muscles form into a ball in her arm. This girl was really strong! That's why I couldn't feel much softness on her body. She had strong muscles all over her body.


I let go of Cindy's arm and asked, "You are already this strong and you still need to train more? Just what is your aim?"


"I… I am not that strong. I need to get stronger…"


Well if that's what she thought, then there was nothing I could say to her.  She reminded me of Elsie. I started to wonder who would win in a competition of strength, Elsie or Cindy. Both seem to be quite motivated to be adventurers.
