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

Chapter 15

I smacked on the door instead of knocking since it takes less time and I just want to go inside. I opened it myself and Edna grinned at me, she seemed a little anxious.

"Why are you here?" Eris asked me when I came in but got very close to me like she wants me to save her.

"I want to dance!" I explained.

"Why?!" Eris yelled and shook me by my shoulders. She then checked me for wounds. "There's no way you're okay!"

"Miss Ceres, I'm happy you can join us." Edna greeted me.

I did my amazing bow, and she laughed as I sat on the floor since I couldn't get back up after the squat. "Now let's start." She gave Eris a concerned look.

We started, and Edna taught me the first couple of moves. I saw Eris do the same as me, but I was just a little better than her and she must have been practising for much longer.

We kept trying for Eris to perfect the first part since she needs to get that down before we can move on. "Break? Or Eris is going to break." I whispered to Edna and Eris broke.

"ENOUGH!" Eris smashed through the door.

We went after her, but she was gone. Rudeus came out of his room concerned since he heard it all go down. "I'm terribly sorry you had to see that." Edna apologised to him.

"He likes her every sight." I informed her.

"I do." Rudeus admitted. "Now, what's wrong?"

"Eris, dance, hate." I simplified it.

"She can't seem to get the knack for it." Edna added.

"You have my sympathy." Rudeus mumbled.

"At this rate, Lady Eris will embarrass herself terribly." Edna sighed.

"K.o. everyone else." I gave our solution making Rudeus laugh while Edna was confused.

"To be made a laughing stock on her tenth birthday...don't you think it's just too awful?" Edna looked to Rudeus and he sighed knowing what she was trying to do.

"Do you want me to do so-" Rudeus went to ask.

"Would you convince Lady Eris to come back?" Edna begged him and held his hands, and he looked done confusing me.

'Don't you like women?' I asked in my mind.

Rudeus shivered. 'She's old.'

'So is Roxy.' I retorted.

"Loli." He grinned.

"So you want to lick her still?" I tilted my head and Edna looked ready to stop us from going after Eris.

Rudeus just pushed me along before I could say anymore. "You learning to speak might be a mistake." He mumbled.

I looked at him annoyed surprising him. "Do you want me to speak like this or lakis bis?" I allowed my words to freely slur.

"I like the first." He laughed nervously. "Sorry Ceres, and thank you for learning."

We found Eris on some hay next to the stables. I was sitting on the wall next to it while Rudeus climbed the hay to reach her. "Are you having trouble danc-" Rudeus went to ask and she kicked him off.

Rudeus screamed, and I used wind magic to lighten his fall. He gave me a weak thumbs up since there wasn't a lot of wind magic down there to help him. "Will you go back to practice?" Rudeus asked after a minute.

"I don't need dancing." Eris retorted. "I will skip the party."

"Main boss, so no." I pointed at her. 'You can't do an RPG game without an amazing boss!'
