My second go at life // Orsted x oc (Mushoku Tensei)

Chapter 4

Zenith was holding me tightly, and Paul looked disgruntled as they silently walked together to the doctor's house.

I waved to the people in the village as we passed them and when we arrived at the doctors, the doctor was a little unnerved by Zenith's and Paul's demeanour.

He took us in very quickly after I saw Paul talk with him only a little and Zenith was rubbing my arm that broke earlier.

I was a little uncomfortable in the doctor's room since it only reminds me of where I practically lived for 18 years. I used my wind magic as I was nibbling on some food Zenith got for me to make me more comfortable.

"Be good for the doctor." Zenith asked of me and I nodded.

I have been surrounded by doctors my whole life I know most mean well. He did some tests that were similar to my previous world then some that were completely different and some of them were just plain stupid.

Both Zenith and Paul looked terrified and I smiled every time they looked at me. It helped Zenith a little, but Paul just looked more miserable and I was shaking every time concerning them even more.

The doctor was confused by my shaking until he asked if I'm scared and I nodded shocking the other two. "I mean not!" I yelled seeing them frown and I felt ready to cry.

The doctor laughed and patted my head then asked them to step out since he needs me to keep still.

He also checked my hearing and was impressed by how much progress I have made with speaking making me grin from the praise and then shake as well concerning him once again.

He says the shaking might be because I'm not used to getting compliments and my mind doesn't know how to handle them, so I get scared and just shake instead of responding.

He invited them back in when he was finished and he wasn't happy with the results.

"So what's wrong with her?" Paul asked.

"No more sword training, she has weak bones." He informed them and they were a little shocked. "A strike from you could break many bones easily. You were lucky it was just the one this time."

"Really? But we are really healthy." Paul retorted with a weak smile.

"What is it exactly? Was it caused by her birth?" Zenith asked while shaking a little like I do.

"Her birth probably doesn't have anything to do with her bones." He spoke honestly. "She was just born weaker, and you said she had a difficult time eating when she was first born, right?"

Zenith nodded. "That might have taken a part in it, and the birth didn't help since it was quite traumatic for the body and her hearing also shows the birth had an imp..." The doctor stopped speaking seeing how ashamed they looked then he gave me a look of sympathy.

"But I'm alive." I added, and the doctor grinned at me.

"You're." He patted my head.

"Then I'm fine!" I grinned since at least it was a little better than my last life.

My bones really aren't that weak this time since I have fallen quite a few times before and hit things. My muscles are fine to while in my last life even moving was hard, but in this world, I can run all I want.
