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

Chapter 12

"Father, they both have Greyrat blood, rather than a mere show of gratitude, I hope to thank them warmly, as family." Philip explained.

"As long as you have a plan!" The sauce man seemed to be satisfied.

'So he won't apologise for the punch? Come to think of it, Eris never apologised to me, not that I really mind.' Rudeus thought.

"Masoch-" I was trying to say the words I saw in a book.

"No." Rudeus sternly told me.

"Rudeus! Ceres! I have a request!" Sauros yelled.

"Sure!" I went over.

"She means yes sir!" Rudeus ran over.

"Teach Eris magic!" He yelled. "She says she can't get the spells you cast out of her head! And was amazed by Ceres' farts! And the determination Ceres had when she threw her and used when Ceres farts like a fart ma-"

"Please stop." Rudeus bowed and begged making me laugh.

"I can't teach her how to control them." I informed him.

"Why?!" Sauros yelled making me whine.

"Practiced since I was little to help me hear." I pointed at my ears. "Rude can't do it."

"Eris did mention..." Sauros weirdly went quiet. "Are...you...deaf?" He asked me slowly and quietly. How the hell is that supposed to help me understand him? Do it at the normal speed. I'm used to that.

"Yes." I answered.

"She told me screaming can hurt you." Sauros hummed.

The man picked me up and put me out the window on the side of the building making Rudeus scream while I was in awe seeing the area even better now. The window closed then the building shook for some reason.

The window then opened again and I was pulled back in and hugged by Rudeus when I was put on the floor.

Eris was nearby posing weirdly. "Please..." She started to say.

"Is that any way to ask for something?!" Sauros spoke up.

Eris grabbed her hair and made them into pinky-tails confusing me. "Please teach Eris magic, meow." Eris laughed.

"The ears where?" I was searching her head as her father and grandad were praising her for her cute ears.

"The masters are fond of beast people." The head servant informed us. "That pose is an imitation of drooping ears."

"I don't need reading, writing or math, meow! Just magic, meow!" Eris yelled.

"No, meow!" I retorted.

"This isn't any way to ask for something!" Rudeus freaked out and then turned to me. "And don't you start!"

Every day, when we got up the family would eat together while Ghislaine and I drooled over it, I saw Eris motioning me to come over so I did.

She held out some bread to me and I just bit into it making her laugh.

Rudeus was the main teacher for our lessons since my speaking was just a whole other problem, but I did all the demonstrations for magic since I had the best control.

"What should I do?!" Eris yelled.

"Fire." I answered.

"But we could all die." Rudeus retorted.

"But the moves she could do...death is worth it." I put my hand on his arm.

"No, it isn't!" Rudeus yelled.
