You and Melty joined the shield hero's team, when Malty falsely accused him of raping her you didn't know if you should believe her, but when you saw the mocking grimace she made at the shield hero you felt fury and hatred towards her, but above all sympathy and sadness for the hero
After days where Malty was watching you so that you wouldn't look for the hero you decided to be brave and go look for him, after hours you found him in the field, sleeping under a tree and with a campfire lit, he looked quite uncomfortable so you decided to place his head on your chest very carefully so as not to wake him up, your plan was successful and soon his muscles stopped being tense and his expression looked more relaxed
Hours later he woke up, somewhat confused by the comfort he felt and how well he rested, until he looked up and saw you staring at him with a shy smile, he quickly went on alert
