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

Chpater 11

We hid in some hay and buckets then we got on a carriage back to Roa using the money Eris had for some reason. I don't know why they didn't take it off her.

Looting is one of the most important things to do.

We were both looking around as we rode the carriage. Eris was alert while I loved seeing 'Wheat! Mountains! And a ladybug kissed my nose, that's peak happiness!'

Rudeus grinned at my excitement and it also helped him relax.

I then felt the wind rush past me and I saw it was caused by some men that rode past us on horses. "Speed!" I yelled.

Eris and Rudeus covered my mouth confusing me. We were dropped off at the entrance of the town, and I bowed to the horses since they did all the work. 'I want to be one, the way they run so fast.' I was staring at them in awe, so Rudeus pulled me away.

I was yawning as we were going back. 'They are both yawning meaning they are relaxed. There were mistakes, but this is mostly according to plan.' Rudeus thought. 'She respects me a little now...I hope.'

'You wish.' I corrected him, and he just stared at me making me laugh.

We then saw someone from the manor, and I ran over with Rudeus since they must have sent out a search party for us, but then I felt the wind behind me move and I turned to see Eris was grabbed by some man.

I chased after them and started to let out wind magic. Rudeus came to my side and slammed his hand against the floor making spears of rock go after them until they got in front and made a giant wall blocking the way.

I had my wind magic start to surround them, so I could snatch Eris back by throwing her into the air when it was safe to.

"You two could have gone home if you stayed put!" One drew a sword while the other had Eris on his shoulder.

"Let me-!" Eris covered her mouth and looked at us like she was scared we would abandon her if she yelled.

I would never do that. 'Delay!' I yelled in my mind.

Rudeus nodded. "Please return the girl." He made a small fireball in his hand.

"I can't do that." A voice spoke up behind us, and it was a person who worked at the manor. "There's somewhere I need little Lady Eris to go for me."

"Looks like you are better at magic than I thought. Join us. We will give you a cut so you can support your deaf sister." The guy with the sword informed us.

"How much would that be, exactly?" Rudeus asked as I finally have my wind magic all in place without letting them detect its presence.

'Finished.' I informed Rudeus.

"How does 100 Asura gold pieces sound?" The man suggested.

"Would that pay for three enrolments in Magic University?" Rudeus stared him down.

"Oh, it could pay for ten and still have some leftover." He smirked.

"That's a tempting offer." Rudeus grinned. I heard a little cry from Eris, but I smiled at her to reassure her that we won't be abandoning her.
