Chapter 44: Questions and Reunions

Ruby: "WAIT!!!! Before we start! We have a Discord now! Buzzy won't stop saying that he wants more people in it! You can find a link to it or something in the Author's Bio? Message him if the link went bad or something."

Blake: "Here's the Current Link! https://discord.gg/RdFtxsaZ Please ask Author for a new one if it expires!"

Weiss: "He even tried to kidnap someone on something called War Thunder. What is a Discord anyway? Author has a Bio? I'm not surprised that Buzzy tries to kidnap people..."

Ruby: "I have no idea! Buzzy paid me in cookies to not ask questions. Also, it's the Author! What do you need to know other than he is rather eccentric!?"

Weiss: "Well that's true but wait...Buzzy paid you? After what you did?"

Ruby: "Oh...right....I..uh...don't feel...so good...."

THUD

Weiss: "Idiot."

Blake: "But she is our idiot."

Buzzy: "Not for much longer....."

Day 2

Wilderness

Morning

Neo Pov

I'm surprised that I slept so well. It feels kinda surreal to be making some soup while the others are being roused awake. My brother is getting firewood while Sammy is off doing something. Jurgen and Vahn are waking the others. I would laugh when I saw Claire using Rein's stomach as a pillow. I don't get those two at all. Least she doesn't complain while making a meal. I don't like beans but can't be picky.

Thebia: "Mistress. Do you require--"

No. I can make some soup. Besides...How can you help with your blade limbs!? Thebia's shoulders dropped as she goes to climb up a tree like a demented spider to stand watch. Sometimes it creeps me out when they do that. One moment they are graceful and the next....

Claire: "I really hate it when they do that."

She hates a lot of things. My brother in particular. Sometimes I just reaaaallllyyyy want to smack her...with the flat end of my sword! I do like her. Sure she can be super moody but she is a lot of fun to be around once you get to know her. She just really needs to lay off my brother. I'm the only one allowed to bully him! I do it out of love but still! It's my sisterly right! Should dye some of his shirts pink when we get back home....Should wear some green to make up for it.. Yeah that works! Oh? Looks like the masses have finally woken up. They start taking the bowls of soup with surprising gratefulness. I was expecting some snark but this works.

Classmate: "Only half a bowl?"

Classmate 2: "Shut up. We got to ration our food. Half is more than enough."

Jurgen: "Wonderful that we can start the day fresh. Thank you Neo and Claire for the meal."

Vahn: "Never a fan of beans but hey beggars can't be choosers."

Classmate 5: "Where's Reinheit?"

Reinheit: "Neo! Bring me some rope!"

I quickly devour my bowl and get the rope from my bag. We were told to prepare for anything and it's a good thing we listen to everyone offering advice. Dad in particular was really fussy about it. He may never show it but he worries as much as mom does. I head off in the direction of my brother's yelling and find him with a dead deer at his feet. A small pile of firewood is set off to the side. I got my scroll out cause I got a few questions for him.
