Ch 9: All Too Familiar

Y/N's POV

I finally found my path back to the capital after a few days of walking past villages and forests that seemed so familiar. I even passed by what seemed to be an abandoned village, lifeless, yet with a church that seemed to still stand where it was, seemingly left untouched. It was there where I slumbered one night and saw a vision.

In a field I awoke, in what seemed to be the same village I took rest in, however, much more livelier than before. In front of me stood a young boy dressed in blue clothing and had blonde hair. Another boy with black hair like mine and wore greyish-black clothing. Finally, a girl had just arrived from our left with a what seemed like a picnic bag-she wore a white apron covering a blue dress she wore and had beautiful blonde/golden hair running from her head to her waist. It was a strange dream, as many of my recent ones have been, but this one in particular felt odd, not bad but odd in the sense that it felt like I was reliving a memory. What made it even weirder was that I had not control over my body and what happened. We had a nice picnic and chat about the village before the black haired boy asked the blonde boy whom he called "Eugeo" about the next time he would be free just to hang out.

???: So Eugeo, do you know when you'll be free again to eat with us all?

Eugeo: Hmm...I'm not sure Kirito, besides you're just asking me so that you can eat again huh?

Kirito:(busted) N-not necessarily I'm just curious that's all...I swear.

Eugeo: Good grief...I'll probably be free again on Saturday if that's what you're wondering after I've done the weekly routine in chopping at that tree.

Kirito: You haven't been able to make a dent in it yet?

Eugeo: No, not at all. It's a shame that my life will likely be consisted of chopping at this tree but what can I do about it.

Suddenly I started talking out of my own mouth without even thinking.

Y/N: Hey don't worry bud. I'm sure when we're all a couple years older you'll be able to chop it down.

Eugeo: That's what my dad said, and his dad, and his dad...

Y/N:...

Kirito: Then in that case, why don't we help you?

Y/N: Oh right...that would be a great idea! Plus we can get Alice to bring more food for lunch cause we'll all be hard at work(slightly smirking)

Alice: *giggles* I'm more than fine with making food for everyone but Kirito and Y/N, don't you both also have duties as upcoming swordsmen for the village.

Kirito: Shoot...

Y/N: Perhaps but, all we have to do is show up for morning practice and evening training so we're free for most of the day, therefore...

Eugeo: Therefore you should take it easy on yourselves before you both run yourselves into the ground from workload.

Y/N: I don't wanna hear it Eugeo, from this day on, Swordsman Y/N and Swordsman Kirito will be assisting you for the foreseeable future.

Kirito: That's right...we all made a promise before that we'd stick by each other's sides until the end. So we won't just stand by and watch you suffer from boredom...plus you do look miserable half the time doing it.

Eugeo: Wa-you spy on me?!

Kirito: I mean we both have extra time. What do you expect?

Eugeo: To do something else?!

Y/N: Such as?

Eugeo: I-I don't know, maybe help Alice out here and there.

Alice: Don't worry Eugeo, they stop by plenty of times to help out.
