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

Chapter 33

Early in the morning the next day, we were saying our goodbyes. "Thanks to your help, Sir Ruijerd, we had not a single causality this rainy season." The chief informed Ruijerd then they shook hands. "Thank you, tell me more of your stories of old times one day."

"I will." Ruijerd nodded.

'Huh? When did those two get so buddy-buddy?' Rudeus thought.

"He made a friend on his own!" I was so proud of him.

"You sound like a mother." Rudeus laughed.

"Miss Ceres and Sir Rudeus. Thank you both for saving the children." The chief looked at us. "We can't do much to show our gratitude, but you are both always welcome in our village."

"I will come back one day!" I exclaimed. "Rui! I missed you!"

He picked me up and grinned at me. I haven't seen him much since as the chief said he was protecting the village. I started to cry because Eris, Tona and Tersena were when they were saying goodbye.

"Lady Eris." Gyes went over to her. "Would you spar with me before you go?"

"REALLY?!" I exclaimed confusing them as I had shining eyes.

"She likes swords." Rudeus pointed at me. "That's why she watched Tona and Eris train every time."

"Then I will gladly put on a show for her, Lady Eris. Would you show me the swordsmanship that Ghislaine taught you?" Gyes drew his sword.

"Yeah shove it into him how awesome you both are!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Eris agreed.

Everyone watched on as they stood away from each other and I was so excited since I got an ever greater view than normal because I was being held by Ruijerd.

"Go!" I exclaimed.

They both ran at each other with just one attack there was a huge clashing sound of their swords hitting each other making me squeal.

"Oh, Jeez!" Eris yelled confusing Rudeus since the fight didn't carry on.

"Thank you, that was a splendid demonstration." Gyes grinned.

"You are not bad either," Eris informed him.

'Huh? What? It's over already?' Rudeus asked in his mind.

'That communicated their strength! How can you not tell?!' I freaked out on him in my mind.

'...Paul never told me of this.' Rudeus thought.

'No, you just didn't get to that level. Paul just wanted to beat you up I'm sure of it.' I retorted in my mind and Rudeus laughed nervously.

"Visit us again. You will always be welcome. Tell her the same thing." Gyes held out his hand to Eris.

I flew over and then hugged his neck scaring him. "Good boy!" I exclaimed and ruffled his hair.

He seemed ready to cry shocking the others. "Lucky!" Some exclaimed since they wanted me to pet them to.

"...I am the only one who doesn't get it." Rudeus nodded.

We went on our way in a cart that was being pulled by a horse. We waved to them as they said goodbye to us. Since we were moving I couldn't be bothered with producing my wind magic then some random guy tried to jump onto the cart and I blasted him away.
