Chapter 143: [Vol.2] Quest 127.6- Childhood Crush

Woosh!! Creak!!

Woosh!! Creak!!

Woosh!! Creak!!

The storm rocks the ship as the Susanoo Familia heads to the mainland.

“Hic! Hic!” Ai was crying in the corner. “I wanna go home. I miss my mom and dad.” she was regretting her choice.

“Ai.” Susanoo said next to her. “I know you are feeling…homesick but you have to stay strong. This is hard on all of us.” He strokes her hair to try and comfort her.

“W-will I see mom and dad again?” she looked up at him with tear filled eyes and stained cheeks. “Will we be back for the Solar Festival?”

“I…” pain filled his voice. “I am sorry, but I don’t think we will make it back for it…or the next one.”

“Hic! Hic! Hic!!”

Susanoo held her close as she cries out her sadness.

 

Side of the road on their way to Orario.

Swish!

Swish!

“Huff! Huff! Huff! Clack!” Ai was exhausted, her body was covered in bruises, and dirt.

“Pick up your sword Shirakusa.” Kushida said.

“I-I’m tired!”

“We are going to Orario, the Labyrinth City that houses the Dungeon. There is no tired when monsters are around you. Until you have proven to me you are a samurai I will only call you Shirakusa.”

“B-but-“

“No buts. If you can’t swing a wooden sword with a Falna then I will have to train your body. Girls! Shirakusa will carry our bags!”

“What!?”

“You heard me. You need to build your strength and stamina.”

 

 Orario.

“Hmm…hmm…” Ai looks around lost.

‘Why did I think I wouldn’t get lost! This city is to big! What if some guy tries and-‘

“Hey are you lost?”

“H-huh!? w-who are you!?” she said a bit nervous and scared.

‘Is he a guy who is going to sell me down the river!!’

Ai looks at the boy with long bangs.

“My name is Cirrus, what is yours?”

‘M-maybe I can trust him???’

“M-my name is Shirakusa Ai!” she stated looking pass his bangs and into his green eyes.

She could feel a sense of level-headedness about Cirrus.

“Well Ai, if you are lost I can help you.”

His eyes told her he wanted to help her; it was the same eyes that Susanoo made on the ship.

“R-really!”

 

Coming up from the Dungeon’s 13^th floor.

“So how do you fight?” Ai asked Cirrus. “You have a sword and shield so how do you fight?”

“Hm? You wanna see me fight?”

“Yeah! Everyone but you fought.”

“Shirakusa do not ask him to fight monsters from the 12^th floor! I’m sorry if-“

“No it’s fine.” Cirrus said walking up front. He draws his blade and gets his shield up. “I can fight.”

Appearing from the fog where two orcs.

“Cirrus let me-“

“Tap!! Tap!! Tap!!” Cirrus kicked off before Eupheme could speak.

Ai watched as Cirrus flung himself into battle.

“Waah!” she was memorized by how he fought.

It held a pragmatic and efficient way of combat; his small body lends itself greatly to him as he strikes their weak points until he is able to lay the finishing blow.

Jump!!

Cirrus jumped as high as he could in the air to get the force he needed as he plunged his sword into one of the orcs chest destroying their magic stone.

“Fuu~ there how about that!” he said smiling ear to ear.

Thump-Thump!!

“Oooh!! Amazing!!” she said amazed.

 

Blink! Blink!

Ai looks up at the cloudy sky when someone looks down on her.

“So how’s the view?” Cirrus said with a smile looking down on Ai.

She could see his face for the 1^st time behind his bangs. His emerald eyes and beautiful face easily ensnared her, especially his smile.

Thump-Thump!! Thump-Thump!!

But she was in training, she didn’t think long on those feelings she never experienced before.

“Mmmmm!!!! Again!!”

“Sure thing!”

 

Crash!!

“-ck.” Cirrus said

Ai slowly approached him.

“I….should have…gone a bit…seriously…” he said weakly.

Ai stood over him to see his blood covered face. His eyes were unfocused.

“A…i?” he said weakly before he closed his eyes.

“!!” Ai’s heart sank seeing him in this state. “Cirrus! Are you okay!?”

 

Thud!

“Sorry but that’s enough.” Cirrus said with his hand blocking her fist.

Thump-thump!! Thump-thump!! Thump-thump!!

 

Early morning in Orario.

“Ai is something wrong?” he said with a concerned look on his face.

“N-no nothing is wrong I just wanted to give you these!” she hands him the charms.

Thump-Thump!! Thump-Thump!! Thump-Thump!! Thump-Thump!!

           

Northern mountains of Telskyura.

‘I did it!!’ Ai thought with a bright red face.

She took a quick glance to find Cirrus flush red and eyes widen touching his lips in a bit of a daze.

‘It really worked!!’

Thump-thump!! Thump-thump!! Thump-thump!! Thump-thump!! Thump-Thump!!

 

Goddess Festival

They had their arms linked hand in hand.

"What’s your favorite color?" asked Cirrus.

"Mmm...purple and green. Yours?'

"Blue and black. Birthday?"

"October 5th. Yours?"

"May 15th. Food?"

Thump-Thump!! Thump-Thump!! Thump-Thump!! Thump-Thump!! Thump-Thump!! Thump-Thump!!

 

“Hm♪ Hm♪ Hm♪” Ai was getting her stuff to go down the Dungeon with Cirrus.

Your chance…Get….pill….red…light…district…

“Hm?” Ai looks around. “Did I hear something? Pill? Red light district? Mmm…!” She checked how much money she has and wrapped up her face. “C-can’t be to safe!”

 

50^th floor, Ai was in the tent.

…Chance…take him in…show your love…let it explode…steal his heart…

Ai open her eyes from the thoughts racing across her mind.

“…” her face was a bit red from having such thoughts. She slowly opened the tent to see Cirrus sleeping. She could vaguely remember the thoughts she had. ‘I-I’m just bringing him in from the cold! Yeah! Just that! But…what if?’

She went over to her bag and took out a small bottle with some pills.

“...Aisha did say it helped with Amazonesses.”

 

A while later.

“I love you.” Cirrus said as warmly as he could as he slowly falls asleep.

Ai slowly opens her eyes still drunk on the whole experience and from her dream. She smiles remembering exactly when this feeling started, a meeting with a childhood friend and a smile from a childhood crush.

She snuggles in closer burying her face into his chest with his arm under her. Her tail was wagging briskly, it slows down as she slowly lulls to sleep.
