They let us stay for a couple of days, so I could fully recover and I was pouting when we had to leave. "Going already?" Rowin asked us.

"No!" I yelled.

"We need to." Rudeus informed me as Ruijerd patted my head. He was still carrying me in his arms. I asked him why he picked me up this morning since I have a full health bar now and he didn't answer.

"And who is this?" Rudeus motioned towards the lady next to Rowin.

"Old Roxy." I guessed making Rudeus laugh nervously.

"Actually yes, in a way, this is my wife." Rowin grinned.

'Ha!' I yelled in my head because I was right making Rudeus laugh.

"My name is Rokai." She informed us.

"Master's mother, you're so young." Rudeus commented.

"Oh, no, I'm 102 this year." Rokari blushed.

"That's...an age." I hummed.

"Yeah..." Eris mumbled wondering if she even got any of that right since this is all jibberish to her.

"If you see Roxy, tell her to visit once in a while." Rowin asked us.

"I can fart her here!" I exclaimed.

"No!" Rudeus scolded me and I whined. "May I call you father-in-law?" Rudeus asked him.

Rokari blushed and gasped. "No!" Rowin grinned.

'If you like Roxys, then do you want his panties to?' I asked in my mind.

Rudeus froze. 'I am so glad you asked that in your mind and no, I would puke and he wouldn't have any.'

"No undies?" I asked, and they all looked at me as I was looking at Rudeus.

"She means un dies." Rudeus laughed loudly. "No one can come back to life once they die, Ceres."

"Didn't I?" I asked.

"...Kind of." He mumbled, and Ruijerd was so concerned so was Eris.

"Use this if you like." Rowin handed a sword to me that I was in awe of. Rudeus started to have flashbacks, so I gave it to Eris then Rokari gave me a small pouch. "These are thanks for letting us know Roxy is safe."

"Hanks!" I grinned.

"Thank you very much!" Rudeus added then Eris stepped forward and did a polite bow.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Eris exclaimed.

"You're welcome!" They both grinned.

Eris looked at me and I gave her a thumbs up making her celebrate and then cough since she breathed in dust, I waved to them as we left.

I then checked out what was in the pouch "Charbowl?" I mumbled as my wind magic was just getting pushed around like crazy once again so my pronunciation will suck.

"It isn't charcoal it's bones." Ruijerd informed me making me freak out. I threw the bones but then caught them using my wind magic and had them go back into the pouch making me sigh in relief.

Eris then threw her sword making Rudeus scream and I laughed as Ruijerd panicked.

"Come on, Ceres!" Eris exclaimed as she had her back to mine.

We had been travelling for a little while and Ruijerd and Eris had been mainly taking care of the monsters, but I wanted to help to. I want to be able to do this with my own power, or what would be the point of all of my training?
