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

Chapter 17

Once everyone settled down, I went off to go eating some of the cake and I was loving it. "Mister Rudeus, Miss Ceres, what in the world?" Edna asked us.

"Many silent...farts." I whispered and she looked concerned.

"We learned to deal with feints in sword training, and to evade magic from Ceres, so Ceres used her wind magic to help Eris delay her timing since her steps were to quick." Rudeus explained.

"That's amazing!" Edna exclaimed.

"See?! Rudeus and Ceres are amazing!" Eris suddenly appeared making me choke.

She helped me out and then pulled me by my hand. "Dance with me next!"

"Its usually the opposite sex you dance with." Rudeus spoke up unsure if we should.

"I know fe-man and man roles, let's go!" I pulled Eris with me, and people were surprised to see us dance together, but we were amazing so they stayed quiet.

It was so much fun to do something I love with someone I care about, after the dance I saw a new hand offered to me confusing me. "Lady Ceres, may I have this dance?" A boy asked me nervously.

"Yah!" I nodded.

'CERES JUST SEDUCED ALL OF THE BOYS!' Rudeus yelled in his mind.

I took a moment to see that I was being watched by many people, especially the boys near my age.

I carried on without a care as Rudeus was sulking that I'm making this world into a reverse harem or something.

After a couple of dances, I went back to the others to find some girls around Rudeus. "How old are you? What do you like?" They asked many questions and Rudeus was overwhelmed.

"Rudeus, Ceres." Philip called out to us.

"No dance." I rejected making him laugh.

"I'd rather you two didn't stand out too much. Still, this is a special day, so I will allow it. If you take one to bed. Use protection." He warned us.

"Against what?" I asked as Rudeus was laughing then he got hit by Eris and dragged away, I followed after.

Eris was standing with her arms crossed, and Rudeus was fixing his clothes then sighed. "So Ceres, do you like tall guys?" Rudeus tried to tease me then got nervous as I actually thought about it.

I don't care about it romantically or think I need protection from it boys. "...I like ones with fluffy coats! Also, they have to be socially...awkward!" I grinned.

"THAT WAS WAY TO SPECIFIC!!" Rudeus yelled. "WHO DID YOU MEET?!"

"WHO?!" Eris added.

"Oh, Or-" I went to say but something appeared.

"May I have a dance, my lady?" I turned to see the same boy who messed with Eris earlier and he glanced at her and then laughed.

'DO YOU WANNA GET PUNCHED?!' Rudeus yelled in his mind. I could tell from Eris's breathing she got nervous again.

I slapped my hand onto his shocking him, and he looked at me. "Well?" I grinned.

He smirked and then led me to the middle of the room. Rudeus was planning to murder him in his mind and instructing me on how to deck him.

He was alright at dancing and it was really boring." Am I good?" He asked me.

"Orsted is better." I sighed and he looked annoyed.

I pretended to go down and made a sound of pain and everyone looked over. "Ory." I let out.

"Hey, why did you fall?" He asked me confused.
