Chapter 2 - Secret art of knowing the plot

(Y/N) POV -

After Rimuru told the others about what happened to Shizue, they had a little talk and Lucia decided to stay in the village. I told Rimuru that I would like to explore the forest first and then tell him my decision. It was pretty late so I had to stay in the village for the night.

I woke in middle of the night and saw that Rimuru was missing. I had stayed in his house with Lucia because there weren't any spare houses. I went outside and saw him sitting under a tree near the edge of the village. I sat next to him and he seemed confused.

"E-eh, did I wake you up?" he asked concerned about what I was doing here.

I shook my head. I was wearing my mask so I could understand him.

"Hmm, you want to ask something?" he asked.

"So... something bothering you?" I asked.

"Just thinking about Shizue-san" he responded in a sad tone.

 I decided to pat his head to calm him down.

I wrapped my wings around the both of us as we stared into the sky. 

"You want to know how I first properly met Aether?" I asked, trying to lift his mood

"Aren't you uncomfortable talking about Teyvat? You don't hav-" I cut him off by giving a silent chuckle.

"You remind me too much about him. We were talking just like this when he got separated from his sister"

I distracted Rimuru for some time by telling him about Teyvat. It didn't work for too long as the emotions got too much for me. Rimuru started talking about how he missed Shizue and both of us just sat there the whole night.

*KING CRIMSON!*

The next morning I left after Lucia woke up.

"VOW, the ogres must have been attacked at this point right?" I asked it.

"Affirmative. Based on the timeline, the attack must have taken place this morning and there is a chance that some of them are still fighting" it replied.

"Alright. Remind me to reduce casualties every time it is an available option unless it's the massacre of Tempest"

"Affirmative"

I explored the forest and soon found the orc army. They had killed every ogre but hadn't fully consumed them. I also saw some undead helping them.

"VOW? Why are there undead here?" I asked.

"This is one of the anomalies that separate this world from the one you know about. The only other anomaly detected has been the individual known as Lucia. In this world, Clayman seems to be a lot more cautious and has send a large number of undead to support the orcs, who are also a lot more in number" it told me.

"Well then, let's start killing"

While I was killing the orc unit to resurrect the ogres, Rimuru attempted to contact me.

"Hey Rimuru? You need something?"

"Yeah, we're being attacked by some ogres. Can you help us?"

"Sorry man, I'm a little bus- SHIT! THAT HUTS YOU ASSHOLE!!!"

While I was talking with Rimuru, one of the orcs managed to sneak up on me and attacked me.
