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

"Ted!" I yelled then huffed after I looked around to find nothing. "I saw him! But it's also snowing...Rude says he hallucinates when he sees red...AM I GOING WEIRD LIKE HIM?!" I freaked out.

I then made my way off deeper into the woods without knowing there was a figure watching me from far back.

I pulled my hood down to enjoy the beautiful snow coming down on me. "This world truly is beaut-" I went to say.

'Her sweet ass was beautiful, I want to slap it again.' Rudeus thought and I sighed.

'These thoughts of yours have been a constant thing, I think I need another break from it.' I admitted in my mind.

'...Sorry.' Rudeus apologised with a weak tone making me frown.

"He hasn't cheered up at all." I sighed as I followed the breathing sounds I had found with my wind magic. Some of the breathing patterns I recognised are from horses that are doing some mild labour like pulling a cart or carriage, so I have found our ride.

I had them in my sight not long after and the driver looked up at me as I approached.

I held up the thing we were given when we purchased a ride. He slowly nodded finding it strange that I would get on here.

"He said another would join out here, didn't think it would be someone so small." The guy hummed. "Get in the back."

I walked past two of the carriages and then hopped into the back of the last one using wind magic to help me up.

I hopped in surprising the other people there, and I grinned at them just to show I'm friendly.

Rudeus was sighing constantly, so I pulled his cheek. It seems the lady apart of the other group was trying to talk to him. He loves women, but he's ignoring her.

"Eris always beat you into submission...you were into that were-" I went to ask.

"Stop!" Rudeus exclaimed.

"Wow, that's the first time I have seen some life out of him!" The lady exclaimed, and I looked at her to see her smiling at me.

"Has he been sighing nonstop?" I asked.

"Yes, do you know his problem?" She asked me.

"Oh, he has many!" I exclaimed as I sat on the edge so I could eat the snow when I leaned back.

"What brings you two up north?" She hummed.

"Why ask us that?" Rudeus grumbled.

"You are heading to a dangerous place." She explained. "But you two don't strike me as adventurers like us. Mage or not, you two must still be children."

"Do I need to answer that?" Rudeus let out.

I heard an arrow snap and saw it was the girl next to the lady and she looked to be around our age. "Suzanne was trying to be nice!" She yelled at us. "Is that any way to treat her?!"

'They are alike.' Rudeus thought.

"Sara, they are not trying to fight," Suzanne informed her.

"But you have been worried about him since yesterday!" Sara exclaimed.

"We are looking for our mother, a victim of the mass teleportation in Fittoa," Rudeus explained.

"That's still no excuse to be rude," Sara mumbled.

"But prying too much can hurt," I added. "Well, anyway, if you see anyone with my exact face, but so much prettier with a gorgeous laugh, that's our mum!"
