Chapter 27 - 22 Stop Reading My Mind.

It has been some time since the meeting with the humans and a bit has happened. For starters I have some what met all of our guests and have learnt a little about them, however our interactions were quite short to say the least because I wasn't really in the right mood to talk at that time. The next thing of note is that Youm and his group have been training with Hakurou to become better worriers. Unfortunately they had left town about a day or so ago to gain some fame and spread there names around so I never really got the chance to speak with them.

Also in this time I've..... gotten better. I'm still a bit of a wreck mentally and I am still hesitant to go near others out of fear of losing control of myself again and hurting someone by accident but I've definitely gotten better. I really doubt this would have happened so quickly if not for the constant support of everyone around me.

Right now I was sitting with the twins and Zeref just outside of town. Kuro was not with us as he was currently helping Geld with something. I was actually hoping to just relax in my room today but Yang and Yin had dragged me outside instead.

"Yang what exactly are you doing?"

Yang had been holding on to my hand since I left my room. At first I had found it quite cute but now it was starting to get just a little annoying.

"If I let go of you right now your just going to run off and hide in your room again" she said while puffing out her cheeks.

(Well I can't really blame her for thinking I would do something like that, after all I really have not been going outside that much now a days)

"I promised that I won't, I swear"

"Hmmmmm"

"Now Yang there'sssss no need for that, I doubt that lady Sssssuu would just vanissssh into thin air ȧsss ssssoon ȧsss you let her go"

"See, Zeref agrees with me"

"Fine....." Yang then hesitantly let go of my hand.

"Now then.....Errrm..... oh, what do you all think about the humans?" I was obviously trying to change the subject away from my sad state, thankfully for me it worked.

"Their very... interessssting" Zeref said looking a little thoughtful.

"I think there funny, especially those three adventurers. Hehehe, their always getting chased by something" Yin replied happily.

"They have been to a lot more places then us and they may even know somethings that we don't, as such we should be able to learn a lot about the world from them" Yang was the last one to answer.

"What about you lady Suu, what do you think about them?"

"Well Yin.... I don't really know, I haven't really had much interactions with them but from what I have seen they are good people"

(However not all humans have good intentions) I thought as I started to remember back to my past life.

"Birdy!" Before I could get too far into my own thoughts someone interrupted me.

"There is only one person who calls me by that nickname"

I turned around to see Milim excitedly running towards us at full speed. It literally only took a single second for her to reach us.

"Milim? What's got you so excited?"

"That Kaval guy, the human in blue armour"

"What about him?"

"He and his group are going out hunting for monsters and I decided that I would be going with them"

(Why would she even want to go with them.... oh, it's probably for the food) I sighed internally.

"Okay, what exactly does that have to do with me?"

"I want you to come with us!"

I honestly didn't expect her to ask that at all, so I was slightly confused for a second. However once the confusion wore off I was a bit hesitant to say the least.

"...I don't know"

"Come on please, if you come with us then we can get lots and lots of yummy creatures to eat"

(Haha, called it....)

(Anyway all jokes aside for a second, it might actually be pretty fun to let lose a little and I may actually be able to learn more about the humans of this world but.... what if I lose control again?)

"It will be fine because even if you do lose control I'll be there to stop you" she was apparently very confident in herself.

"Haven't I told you to stop reading my mind already" I couldn't help but groan a little in annoyance.

"Please please please please"

"Fine I'll go, just please stop yelling already"

"Yaaaay"

(She's gonna be the death of me I swear)

"I would never hurt my besties daughter"

"STOP READING MY MIND ALREADY"

*Whistle*

My eyes twitched slightly when I saw her looking away from me while whistling innocently. She was acting as if she wasn't just invading my mind a second ago.

(I guess this could also give me time to ask her about that.....)

"Sigh. Anyway it seems I'm needed else where" I said as I turn back to the others

"It'ssss fine"

"Yeah lady Suu go and have fun"

"Hehehehe, Yang and Zeref are right go on"

"Huh?" I was slightly confused about the mischievous glint in their eyes but I just decided to shrug it off.

"Alright let's go" I said as I got to my feet and walked past Milim.

Unbeknownst to me as I was walking away with Milim the three I left behind started talking about something. If I was there to hear what they were saying I would have probably been very flustered.

It really didn't take us that long to make our way over to where Kaval and his party was, they had been waiting for us at the entrance to the town. As soon as we came into their line of view they walked over to meet us.

"Hey, it's been a while since we've seen you around"

"Your Eren right?"

The girl in front of me had light blonde hair as well as a blue ribbon wrapped around her head. She was also wearing a white robe with gold patterns with a pink bow just below her neck, she also had a pink skirt and brown boots on. I was guessing she was a magic user as she also had a staff with her.

"Yep that's right and incase you have forgotten this is Kaval and this is Gido"

"Your lady Suu right, Rimuru's daughter" Gido asked with interest.

"Yes but you can just call me Suu"

"Alright"

"Also I'd like to apologise for my attitude in that meeting we had, I was having a really bad day" I gave them an apologetic look.

"N-no it's fine"

"Yeah Eren's right everything's fine, there is really no need for you to apologise for anything" I smiled up at both Eren and Gido as they smiled back.

"I think that we should probably get going if we don't want it to be late when we get back" the moment was then interrupted by Kaval.

(Welp it was nice while it lasted)

"Yay I can't wait, yummy food here I come" I could only roll my eyes at Milim's antics.

"Anyway while we're walking do you mind if I ask a question or two"

"Not at all"

"Thanks, I was wondering how you all ended up meeting my dad?"

==========timeskip==========

We have been walking for a while now with out running into anything at all. Kaval and Eren had just finished telling me the story about how they had met Rimuru. They had also told me a bit about Shizue, I had already heard some stuff about her from Rimuru but not that much. She seemed like someone I would have like to have met at some point, unfortunately that will never happen as she had died a while ago.

"So anyway could I ask you a question now?" Eren asked curiously.

"That really depends on what the question is "

"What type of monster are you? I mean Rimuru said your not a slime"

(Hmmmm, should I tell her..... it would be fine right?) However I never got the chance to say anything.

"You can't just ask her something like that, if she wanted to tell us she would have done so already" Kaval said while shaking his head.

"But I was only curious" I smiled slightly as the two started to bicker amongst themselves.

(If only I could be as carefree as them)

"This thing is so heavy" my thoughts were cut off when someone spoke behind me.

"It's gonna be heavier on the trip back" I said while looking over at Gido who was pulling a large wooden cart.

(Why did we bring that thing anyway, I could have just put everything into the abyss) I thought.

"Please don't remind m-"

"Hmmm?" Gido's complaining was cut off by Milim who suddenly stopped.

"What's up Milim?"

"Dinner"

I knew what she meant immediately, the three adventurers however took a minute to realise what she meant. Soon after we spotted a group of large Spider like creatures that were around five feet tall off in the distance. These were called Knight Spiders and they were probably pretty young ones because they have the potential to grow to the size of trees.

Knight Spiders were a type of unintelligent monsters that lived in the forest of Jura, unsurprisingly they are a type of spider monster with eight legs and all. They look like a cross between a crab and a spider, they have a brown upper body with blue stripes however their under belly is pure white in colour.

"So how are we doing this. There is at least seven of them so we need to be careful" Gido asked while crouching down next to Kaval.

"Here is my idea, first will split in to two groups. Then one of the groups will head around them to the other side and draw there attention. As soon as the Knight Spiders start heading towards the first group the second group will attack them from the back"

"We could do that..... or I could just do this" I then snapped my fingers as black shadowy spikes came shooting out of the ground right under the Spiders impaling them all.

Kaval and his group looked over at me with shocked faces. Seeing this I could only look away sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head awkwardly.

"....."

There was a long awkward silence between the four of us. While this was happening Milim was giggling in the background much to my annoyance.

"We-well that was anticlimactic"

"You can say that again Gido"

Kaval only nodded in agreement to his two companions conversation. This only made me feel even more awkward, it probably would have been a better idea to just work with them instead of instantly killing all the Spiders.

(Maybe I shouldn't have done that)

I could only watch as the three of them stood up from where they were crouching down and walked over to the now dead Knight Spiders. I was about to go with them when a sudden thought popped into my head and I turned to look over at the still giggling Milim.

(Should I ask her now. Hmmm, there is no one around except for those three so it should be fine)

"Sigh"

"Hey Milim, you mind if I can talk to you in private for a second" Milim only nodded in response and followed me as we walked a little further away from the three.

"I've been meaning to ask you something for awhile now"

"What is it Birdy?" She asked while tilting her head to the side.

"How..... how do you do it?"

"Do what?"

"How are you always so happy.... ev-even with those eyes of yours?" Milim only looked at me even more confused.

"When we first met I couldn't help but feel weird around you, it was as if something about you just.... pissed me off for some reason. Eventually I ended up figuring out what it was that irritated me so much about you, it was your eyes. The eyes of someone who has been hurt.... hurt to such a point that they shatter and break, just like mine" I took a second to breathe before continuing.

"Yet despite all this your still happy. Your happy all the time and it makes no fuċkɨnġ sense to me what so ever"

Milim seemed to think for a second before looking back at me. I was a bit surprised to see a warm and some what sad smile on her face.

"I've been a live for a really long time and in that time alot has happened to me, some things were bad where others were good. However something that I've learnt is that no matter how bad it gets it will get better eventually..... even if only a little bit"

(I wasn't expecting all that, especially not from her)

"And besides if everything was terrible all the time I wouldn't have ever met you and Rimuru" I could only smile as Milim went back to her normal childish voice.

"Haha, yeah.... yeah I guess you do have a point there"

"Come on let's head back Birdy"

"Wait a minute, before we head back I do have one more question for you"

"Hmmm, what is it?" She asked while looking back at me.

"Why do you keep calling me Birdy anyway" I asked curiously.

"Huh? Well I think that it's a pretty fitting nickname for you"

"Why? Is it because I'm a Phoenix?"

"No, it's not because of that....."

"What then?"

"I just think it's a cute name"

(Wait wait wait, does that mean she thinks I'm cute?) I thought while blushing slightly.

"Who knows"

"H-h-how many ti-times do I have to s-say this, STOP READING MY MIND" my blush only grew bigger as i stuttered.

"Hehehehe"
