The day came when we went into the centre of the city. "Hurry!" Eris yelled and pulled on Rudeus's arm while I was running in the front.

I got grabbed making me whine loudly while shaking my arms. "You both need to be careful." Rudeus sighed as he held me up a little. "You both can get abducted, you are especially easy Ceres."

"I can fact!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, she knows things!" Eris agreed while I actually meant to say fart, but I am smart at combo moves, try me.

"You need to test out if you can handle the sound here, if not I will hold your hand so I don't lose you Ceres." Rudeus explained and I nodded.

"That aside, your dresses." Rudeus hummed as he put me down.

Eris huffed and turned to him. 'They do say fine feathers make a fine bird.' Rudeus thought.

"He thinks you're fine." I informed her.

"No, it looks lovely on you, my lady." Rudeus grinned she still slapped him and then walked off.

"What's her problem?" Rudeus sighed. "Well, Ceres...you look great."

"Thanks!" I spun happily. I was wearing an old dress of Eris's. It's mostly black with a little white thing in the back that looks like a very short cape to me so I have found my fighter outfit.

Rudeus patted my head then took my hand and we saw Eris run into town. I was in awe seeing it all properly for the first time and I started to go up and down on my toes making Rudeus laugh.

I tried out my wind magic but. "Too much." I groaned and had my wind magic go up to the sky to escape all of the sounds then it was silent except for the sound of birds up above so I was fine.

I guess I am still useless. Rudeus pulled my cheek, and Ghislaine pulled the other on his instructions I think. 'You have me here. I'm never leaving you so don't worry about it.' He reassured me.

'I can make us travel quick!' I added.

'I like the ground.' He admitted making me pout.

Eris was running everywhere and Rudeus allowed me to if I stayed near them. Rudeus was rubbing his cheek against a wall weirding the other two out. Eris poked me on the shoulder and then pointed to him to try to ask me what the hell he is doing.

"Horn?" I mumbled.

'I am not!' Rudeus turned to me.

'But you said you're excited in your mind.' I retorted.

Rudeus pulled me along, and we went to a market and Rudeus made sure I didn't bump into anyone.

Rudeus was telling me to write things down on a pad he was holding, I was writing the prices I see so I didn't even need to talk to him.

Then he pulled me to some stall with a suspicious guy and they seemed to be talking. He showed us a box, and it looked like a potion and to me, it looked pretty so I grabbed it.

I was focused on it then looked to the man and tried to read his lips, I got the words slip and spread open. 'So you fall and do the splits, yep, I'm a genius.' I nodded to myself.

Rudeus shook me. 'ITS AN APHRODISIAC!!'

He for some reason cried when I went to write it so I let him write it instead. Eris then jumped him to see our notes.

They seemed to be arguing. 'What a little tyrant.' Rudeus thought. 'Ceres, I'm just explaining that we are researching market prices as you do for MMOs.'

"Ha?" I let out surprised. 'I thought you just stabbed things in those games.'

'You do, that's a part of it to.' He explained to me.
