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

After a long journey, I came back once I started to feel a little homesick...I missed Rudeus thinking of panties that's so weird, right? Well, I guess that's home to me.

Better than being murdered by your own mother...I don't think that should be a thought I have.

I made my way through the last of the forest by myself since someone might see Orsted if he got too close, but he wasn't too far back confusing me a little. He has been closer to me lately since he normally just lets me decide what path to go on and then follows behind me. He only gets closer whenever we are transversing mountains since I do nearly run off them a lot.

I got out of the forest and was heading towards the guild since they were probably all there at this time of day.

Then my wrist got grabbed from behind. "Dah wha?!" I let out in just shock so it was gibberish.

I turned to see it was Soldat who grabbed my wrist. "Do you need something?" I asked.

"Are you okay?" He pulled me closer. He was quite protective and looked at the forest while shivering a little.

This man has never shown fear before in front of me. "There was something monstrous here just now...what was it? I felt it watching me before...back when I punched Timothy." He scanned the forest with his eyes trying to find something he knew would terrify him.

"I suggest you let go." I shook my arm. He let go noticing he had quite a tight grip on me then he relaxed a lot showing Orsted was gone.

I made my way towards the guild, and Soldat was calling out to me, but I ignored him.

Seriously I got such little wind magic out, but I can hear his annoying voice clearly. "Where have you been? Did you really go al-oh, nice gift?" He let out as he saw my middle finger.

I then ran the rest of the way. I tripped and hit the snow, but got back up and carried on as I held two thumbs up to the woods confusing Soldat, but I saw Orsted. He gave me one back making me giggle seeing him do that with a straight face.

I smashed open the doors with my wind magic and everyone looked over.

"Ceres!" Rudeus grinned seeing me as he was with Counter Arrow again, and he looks happy!

'He looks so happy!' I fisted pumped the air, but punched a door during that and cried out.

Many were concerned as I held the wrist of my hand and then breathed in. "I'm back!" I exclaimed then got so happy and hugged him.

Rudeus happily laughed seeing I was so cheerful. 'You look less lonely too!' I grinned.

'It isn't because you were gone!' He reassured me in his mind.

'I know...why did you assume that? We both needed more people!' I nodded. 'We needed to be free! So have you married Sara yet?'

"What?!" Rudeus blushed confusing the others since I asked in my mind and I laughed at his reaction.

"Nothing at all?" I asked and he slowly nodded. "...when did you get slow?"

He nervously laughed, and I could tell he might just be scared to lose the relationship he had made with her. I was terrified that I was losing mine with Orsted, so it's fair.

I went to reach for his head to pat it, but I struggled to reach it. "...Dude, how much are you going to grow?!" I whined.

I carefully knocked him down onto the floor with my wind magic then sat on his back. "Paul would say you are off your game." I hummed.

"Well, you got none." Rudeus groaned.

"You sure about that?! I had tons before!" I grinned and he nearly freaked out. 'Video games.' I stated in my mind.
