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

Chapter 51

Azizi was huffing the entire time making me laugh a little as I made some fire for him to eat. I made my way back towards the inn since it was still a few hours off from when I needed to meet Orsted.

I wasn't too far away. 'I should be careful and not make my move until I'm sure. Right, Paul?' Rudeus asked in his mind making me pause.

'What's happening?' I asked nervously as I froze.

'Does she realise what that means?! WAIT, YOUR BACK! WHAT HAPPENED?! Ceres, you might need to run.' He warned me. 'No, no, I need to control myself! I mean, it's not even like that between me and Sara.'

'She likes you. It's obvious.' I informed him.

'IT IS?!' Rudeus freaked out.

'Poor dude lost that much confidence.' I pitied him.

'...SHE IS HORNY!' Rudeus declared. '...My sister helped me understand that. I apologise so much! I will go with the flow, so you will go to the woods!'

'Will do if she doesn't punch you.' I replied. 'Just say run.'

We had our plan and as he had made his way back with her to his room he was asking me where I had been. It was sweet he was somehow focused on me a little since our conversation did get cut off earlier.

'Oh...rain.' I answered and it was just silent. 'I'm not good at lying.'

'Why are you lyi-Run!' He exclaimed in his mind.

'Good luck I guess!' I bolted it to get out of range, and I went to go to the meeting spot Orsted told me about.

He was already there, but we were supposed to meet in three hours time. He still has his habit of arriving really early making me smile a little until I heard an oh no in my mind.

"Orsted kidnap me!!" I ran towards him and he was confused. "My brother is going to have sex!!"

He seemed confused but took my hand, and I pulled him along then nearly fell into the snow so he lifted me up by my hand.

I giggled as he walked into a tree since he was so focused on me, he nearly took the tree down. He was so unfazed as he looked down at me then snow fell onto his head from the tree and I just laughed even more.

When I heard Rudeus's mind again I pulled him with me again. I didn't hear Rudeus in my mind anymore as we got quite far away.

I just nearly kept tripping making me laugh as he kept me up then fell over himself since he kept his focus on me.

When we did finally stop and settle down, we were under the night sky. It was so pretty to watch. "Ted, what have you been doing today?" I asked him, and he seemed confused by the unusual question. "It's a weird so-called normal question humans ask each other."

"...Ants ran away from me." He informed me. "I saw no other living creatures than ants and you."

Azizi squawked at him making me laugh then he just flew off annoyed. "How was your day?" He asked me.

"Ah..." I let out. Meeting Perugius might not be a good thing for him. "Sit."

He sat down and I got some snow then made it into a snow bunny and handed it to him as a peace offering this time. "...Is this a sign I could get mad?" Orsted asked me.
