Rebirth Online World

After going on rampage for the whole night, i took a bath at the river and went back to the camp. I just sat there in front of the campfire waiting for the sun to set.

Then morning came. The three guys woke up and greeted me with an ear-to-ear grins. I don’t know why though. But then they frowned when they saw my finger. I just said to them that a Rat beast bit them when i dozed off last night, but then i punched the shit out of it for eating my fingers. Then they laughed. Losing body parts were a pretty usual occurences for adventurers after all.

Then Harvey, Bernardt and me put down the men’s tent, while Alex cleaned the rest of the campfire. After that we prepared the breakfast, but Sakura was still in her tent and hadn’t come out. I thought that she was still sleeping, so i just left here there for now.

We four ate the boar from last night, together with some bread. I ate my fill then put some boar meat and a bread onto a plate. Then i left the three and went to Sakura’s tent with the plate on my hand.

“Sakura, are you still sleeping? Do you want some breakfast?” i called her from outside.

No one answered, but i know she was still in there from [Mana Web].

Then i put my head inside the tent’s entrance and looked inside.

Sakura sat there on top of the bed. She glared at me…

‘Uh oh…this is gonna be bad…’

“Give me a minute…,” i said to her.

I put my head back out and went to the other three. They had already finished eating and now started to pack up. I said to them, “Alex-san, Harvey-san, Bernardt-san, I need to talk with Sakura for maybe 10 minutes. Can you guys please wait in the carriage?”

They looked a bit surprised then looked at each other while grinning.

‘Hmmm? What’s wrong? They seemed a bit strange.’

“Don’t worry! I too suddenly want to go to take a bath, so you two can ‘talk’ in private,” said Alex.

“Oh me too! But be careful when you ‘talk’ to her okay! Don’t make her faint again,” said Harvey.

“We will come back after around 30 minutes, take your time ‘talking’ with her,” said Bernardt.

I just tilted my head in confusion as they went to the river.

‘Whatever…i have a bigger problem right now…’

I went back slowly to the tent. I stood up in front of the tent’s entrace for a while, then took a deep breath and crawled into the tent.

She still sat there on top of the bed glaring fiercer at me.

I sat in front of her on the leather blanket.

“Zedediah…did you know that i wake up last night?” she asked me.

I shook my head.

“…did you know how worried i was when i realized that you weren’t there beside me anymore last night?” she asked again.

I shook my head again.

“I waited for you for five hours…but you didn’t come back…hiks…”

She started to sob…

“…hiks…hiks…you said you didn’t hate me…, but you weren’t there. I thought you have left me…hiks…”

She fell silent for a while. Her sobbing stopped then she said to me again, “But then… i saw your shadow over the tent. I was happy that you came back…so i waited for you to come in, but you just sat there at the campfire…i thought you didn’t want to come near me…so i just sat here waiting for you to came to me…uuuu…” She gazed downside and started to cry.

I didn’t know what to say to her, so i just sat on my knees and then kneeled at her. “I am sorry Sakura.”

She said nothing and cried for a while.

We were silent for a while. I kept kneeling to her.

After she stopped crying, she asked me, “Where were you last night?”

“I went to kill Magical beasts,” i said to her.

“Why did it take you so long?” she asked me again.

“I went to kill around forty of them.” I said to her straightforwardly

“Eh? Why?” she asked me.

I shook my head then said, “I-i can’t tell you the reason…”

DUAAAK

Her Holy Bat hit the leather blanket beside my head.

“Tell…me…why…,” she said to me slowly.

‘Ouuughhh….like ‘mother’ like ‘daughter’ indeed….’

I lifted my head, looked straight to her, then said, “Do you really want to hear the reason?”

“Don’t…make…me …repeat…myself…”

I scratched the back of my head as i gazed down to the blanket and said to her, “Fine…if you insist. You realized that i’m a man, right?… If a beatiful girl kissed me, lied down over me, and hugged me with no underwear on. Of course, I will get excited… So, i went on a rampage killing Magical beasts to suppress my feeling of wanting you…”

She fell silent for a while. ‘This is why i didn’t want to tell her…now she will be disgusted at me again…but i don’t want to lie to her anymore…,’ i frowned.

“You…wanted…me?” i heard her low voice asking me.

I looked up to her. Her face was as red as an apple. ‘So cute…,’ i thought to myself.

I said nothing to her and just nodded.

Then she gazed down at the blanket and fell silent.

She fidgeted her finger then spoke with a really low voice, “I…..n’t……d……gh…”

She spoke with a really-really low voice that i couldn’t even heard. “What did you just say?” i asked her.

She suddenly got shocked and swung her bat wildly at me. “N-no! Nothing!! Zedediah you pervert!!! I hate you!! I hate you!! Get out!!”

“O-okay…just stop it…i will get out…,” I felt really down as i crawled out of the tent.

‘She hates me now…uuu…,’ i cried in my head.

But before my whole body finished crawling out of the tent, i felt something touching my foot. I looked back from outside, then Sakura’s voice rang out from inside, “Ze-zedediah…i-i don’t hate you…so don’t ever go away without telling me, okay…?”

“Yes, i promise you this…,” i said to her.

I sat on the log in front of her tent and began to think. But i could only tilt my head in confusion as i pondered about her reactions.

‘A Girl’s heart is really complicated… Tooru…how did you even make the three of them to like you when you didn’t even do anything…,’ i felt awe when i remembered about him and the three girls.

RUSTLE RUSTLE

I looked back to the source of the sound and saw her crawling out of the tent. Then she stood there in front of me wearing brown robe, one sleeved shirt, and knee length stripped orange skirt with ribbon behind it. She looked really beautiful under the morning sun.

She walked to me, then sat on the left side of me. She said nothing but a hint of smile was there on her face.

“Do you want some breakfast?” i said to her as i took the plate filled with boar meat and a bread.

She nodded and took the plate from me.

Then i stood up and said to her, “I will call the other three while you eat here, so we can begin to leave straight after you finished with breakfast.”

But then he grasped my left hand and stared at me with an upward glance. Then she said to me, “You will leave me? You don’t want to accompany me while i eat?”

‘Uuuuh…that upturned eyes is cheating you know…’

I sighed, then said, “Hahh…okay…i will accompany you…” I smiled bitterly then sat down again.

She smiled happily at me. But then her smile was gone and changed into a sad look as she stared at my bandaged left hand. “Does it still hurt?” she asked me while holding my left hand tightly.

I stroked her head gently with my right hand and said, “Don’t worry, something like that doesn’t even itch.”

“Here eat…,” i took a bit of the boar meat with my right hand then fed it to her.

She looked a bit embarrased, but then opened her mouth, “Aaaaa~~”

She chewed it while smiling like a child. I fed her the breakfast with my hand as she smiled brightly at me.

‘Haah…this is happiness…,’ i tought to myself.

After she ate the last bite, a cough was heard from in front of us, “Uhuk…uhuk…are you guys done? We are going to be late, you know?” There stood Alex and the other two watching us with huge grins on their face.

Sakura got a bit startled the jumped up and ran to the carriage.

“Ehehehe, sorry that we bothered your lover time. But we need to get going,” said Bernardt to me.

“Eh? No! Sakura and i are not lover!” i retorted to him.

“””Yeah..yeah…whatever you say…,””” said the three as they kept grinning and walking to the carriage.

‘Seriously…what’s wrong with them…’ i just frowned and tilted my head.

I put Sakura’s tent, the leather blanket and the leather bed into the Storage ring, then ran after them to the carriage.

Sakura stood there beside the carriage, waiting for me while smiling. I jumped over her then put my hand down to her. She took my hand, then i pulled her over to my embrace. Her cheeks reddened as we stare at each other’s eyes, but she didn’t resist and just stayed there motionlessly. “Re-release me…,” she said to me as she looked down to avert my gaze from her eyes. So i released her slowly onto the carriage roof.

Then i took out the leather bed from my Storage ring and spread it over the roof for her. “Let’s sit down,” i said to her.

“Ah Z! We are gonna leave the forest in half a day and proceed to enter the grassland, so we will took turn to drive. Me and Harvey will drive at day, so you and Ojou-chan will drive at the night. Okay?” said Alex to me from below.

Spending the night at grassland is more dangerous than forest, because the Magical beasts can easily spot you from afar then surround you. So running straight through it, is the best choice.

‘And fighting the Magical beast at grassland is troublesome. I can’t use my Skills because the others will see it easily.’

“Understood Alex-san, leave it to me for driving at night!” i said to him.

“Good!” said Alex.

I took out the white old clean blanket and spread it over the tiger leather bed.

“Go to sleep Sakura. I will teach you again later at night as we drive the carriage,” i said to her while patting the blanket.

“O-okay…,” she said to me as she went under the blanket.

I smiled at her as i sat there in front of her seeing her lying on the leather bed.

But she won’t close her eyes and go to sleep. She just stared at me, so i asked her, “What’s wrong? Is it uncomfortable?”

She shook her head, she flustered a little then patted the half part of the leather bed beside her with her hand.

I tilted my head and then asked her, “Should i lie there?”

She hid half of her face with the blanket then slowly nodded.

I crawled there and put myself under the blanket. I lay on her right side while gazing at the sky over me.

Then she took my left hand, put it horizontaly on the bed and began to use it as a pillow.

We gazed together at the blue sky as the carriage slowly travelled throught the forest.

‘This feeling is really nice…’ I smiled then closed my eyes.

There, the two of us slept beside each other under the warmth of the sun, waiting for the cold of the night to come.

——————————

Let’s see what Sakura was thinking when they argued inside the tent…

“Zedediah…did you know that i wake up last night?” i said to him

He shook his head.

“…did you know how worried i was when i realized that you weren’t there beside me anymore last night?”

He shook his head again.

“I waited for you for five hours…but you didn’t come back…hiks…..hiks…you said you didn’t hate me….hiks…but you weren’t there…hiks…i thought you have left me…”

‘I was really afraid that he was hating me for making him cut his own finger… Eventhough he said he didn’t hate me…he could have changed his mind then left me…,’ i remembered the feelings i had that night as i cried when i waited for him to come back.

‘But then eventhough he did come back…’

Then i said to him, “But then… i saw your shadow over the tent. I was happy that you came back…so i waited for you to come in, but you just sat there at the campfire…i thought you didn’t want to come near me…so i just sat here waiting for you to came to me…”

I looked downside and started to cry. ‘I thought that, eventhough he hated me, he already promised Astraea-sama to protect me… so he had no choice but to come back…’

Then he kneeled at me and said, “I am sorry Sakura.”

I cried…

‘Why is he apologizing? Because he left me alone? Because he now hates me? I don’t understand…’

But then i suddenly realized…

‘No! This had happened before! Because i didn’t trust him and just guessed by myself he ended cutted his fingers for me! Let’s ask him first! I already decided yesterday that i will trust him!!’

“Where were you last night?” i asked him.

“I went to kill Magical beasts,” he said to me.

‘Oh…Was the Magical beast so strong that it took him 5 hour to kill?’ i pondered to myself.

“Why did it take you so long?” i asked him again.

“I went to kill around forty of them,” he said to me straightforwardly.

‘That much?’ i was surprised

“Eh? Why?” i asked him in confusion.

He shook his head and said, “I-i can’t tell you the reason…”

‘I want to trust him but he won’t try to trust me!!’ I got angry and swung down the Holy Bat to the blanket on the side of his head.

“Tell…me…why…,” i said to him as i tried to contain my anger

He lifted his head and looked at me. He then asked, “Do you really want to hear the reason?”

“Don’t…make…me …repeat…myself…,” i said to him angrily.

He gazed down to the blanket and said to me, “Fine…if you insist. You realized that i’m a man, right?… If a beatiful girl kissed me, lied down over me, and hugged me with no underwear on. Of course, I will get excited… So, i went on a rampage killing Magical beasts to suppress my feeling of wanting you…”

‘E-eh? I-i am beautiful?’ i touched my cheeks.

‘H-hug him w-with no underwear?’ i grabbed my breasts. Then i remembered that when i hugged him, there were only a single layer of fabric that separated our skins. It was just like i hugged him with naked body.

’Ah….i was really bold wasn’t i??!! Oh no…he will think of me as a nasty girl now!! W-wait…What did he say again? Did he really wanted me?? As it is with a man an woman on a bed?? H-he wanted an ugly girl like me?? N-no! He find me beautiful…and i really have no more scars….s-so he really wanted me?? Is he?’

“You…wanted…me?” i asked him slowly to confirm it. My face reddened as i imagined what he will do to me if we really sleep together in a bed.

He looked up to me and stared at my eyes. Then he nodded to confirm what i asked him.

I gazed down at the blanket, and though, ‘So he really wanted me…..’

I fidgeted a little then said to him, “I-i don’t mind though…”

“What did you just say?” he asked me.

Then i realized…

‘Eh..no!! I just met him for two days!! I can’t throw my body so easily like this!! I don’t know him that long yet!! H-his pervertness is contaminating me!! That must be it!!’ I started being irrational like usual.

‘I-i have to use the Holy Bat to purify it!!’ I swung my Holy Bat at him.

“N-no! Nothing!! Zedediah you pervert!!! I hate you!! I hate you!! Get out!!” i screamed and blabbed as i couldn’t accept about what i just thought about me and him.

“O-okay…just stop it…i will get out,” he said to me as he crawled out.

‘Ah no!!! I misspoke again!! Stupid me!! Please don’t go!!!’ I just realized about what i had said to him. I grabbed his foot right before he went out.

“Ze-zedediah…i-i don’t hate you…so don’t ever go away without telling me, okay…?” i said to him.

“Yes, i promise you this…,” he said to me then went out.

I was dazed for a while then started rolling around inside the tent. ‘Ehehehehehe….he said that i am beautiful….and he really really wanted me, that he had to kill forty magical beasts just to suppress his lust…I-i can’t even imagine how intense it will be if he really did it to me last night…kyaaaa~~~….’

I grinned from ear to ear as i imagined about ‘it’.
