While I am thinking of all this I still can’t help but notice why I am not even the slightest upset about being carried like this since it is really…. Not something a guy would like to be carried like.

But then again… this at least puts them to use… but then again I should probably still walk on my own…

Though when I tried to move I felt like my body was under too much weight and could barely even move my fingers, but she seemed to notice.

“You really are something, my lord” Nimue

“Yes… totally like an angel, my lord” Random girl 1

The rest of them seem to nod with them, but why would they call me a lord? I mean I can understand the idiot Nimue…. But why would the rest of them?

One of the girls seemed to notice my confusion.

“We believe that you will be our reason for living, with Your Grace’s blessing we have been able to move again.” Random girl 1

Really I shouldn’t even consider this… since they are probably just following us since they can’t defend themselves. But some reason I feel like we are going the wrong direction from the way we was going since the last time we were going towards the direction of the sun… and now the sun is beside us on the right…. Meaning she decided to take a fork in the road, but maybe she isn’t directionally impaired….

“My name is Mirai, the girl to your left is Sarah, the one to the left of her is Mary, and the two on your right from closest to farthest is the twins Clara and Luna.” Mirai

Well it seems that I have some sort of party? It’s hard to do anything now anyways.

“Why… do you call me my lord or my grace?” Jona

I hate talking but I have a feeling this is going to be more trouble than it’s worth.

“Cause an Angel like you deserves to be protected, and the power you gave us has made us stronger than before, in fact now I am sure we have the raw power to defend against bandits even without any knowledge… of fighting… since we have been attacked twice so far…” Mirai

She seems to be the only one talking to me but when I move my eyes to look at the others they move their head the other direction rather fast as if looking at me is scary.

The problem is once it got dark they still wanted to keep going like idiots… I had to actually demand and order them to find a place to make camp since it would be too dangerous to fight.

…. I wonder if blood would heal me.

“Nimue… you know a lot of the Flame clan? Or fire which ever you call it right?” Jona

“Yes?” Nimue

“then you must know… blood heals us…”Jona

I talked to her in a small voice so the other girls can’t hear me, and she nodded and tilted her head and said, “Then you want me to offer mine?”

I just nodded and she came close and took a small dagger out of her side pouch and cut a small part of the side of her neck, but what came over me I couldn’t understand cause I instantly went for her neck even as weak as I was it seemingly moved on its own without my control.

As I was drinking her blood  I could see her blushing from this while holding her mouth shut. Hmm? Does she enjoy this….? Well it’s not like I can control the urge to drink… but my body feels like it’s being brought back to life to the point I could control myself again and then I licked her neck cause of the taste is just too good to waste but when I heard a cough from beside us Nimue moved fast to protect me, but it was just the girls blushing while watching.

Which sent Nimue into a panic attack as she started turning red and stuttering at the girls who is kind of cute, and I could even hear Rose laughing inside my head?

“Don’t you girls need to get some sleep?” Jona

As if it was an order to scatter and give us our privacy they all started leaving and giggling while looking at me with knowing eyes for some odd reason.

As the night went off I had a strange feeling Nimue had been watching me the whole time.

…..

………

…………..

The next day when I woke up I felt something squishy and soft unlike the ground, but when I looked up I could only see that I was laying on Nimue curled around her while my head was resting on her chest while most of my body was on top of her.

I was too shocked as to why this happened? I mean I was sure I went to sleep by myself, but when I woke up I was onto of her, by looking at her she is still asleep or at least acting like she is.

Anyhow I can only move away slowly as if not to wake her but when I turned my head Sarah was looking at us with a smile that says she is going to so gossip about this…..

I wonder if in this world same sex isn’t that bad, though I haven’t been treated anything less than an equal by people so far, but it could also be that of my title? And job as princess… sigh…. Really not something I would want to do… hell I am even getting too use to this body, as of lately, I haven’t really complained too much about the undergarments, though I have been wearing the same clothes for awhile now…. Since I was lucky there was more than one of it.

But even so I have my ninja gear inside my gem which would probably give me more bonuses to this class if I had used them but even to me that type of gear…… the at most I would use is the jacket in one of them that covers the one piece that is more like an armored tunic.

But all well any guy would love to be able to lay their head on such a chest right?

Well since I am a female now it can’t be considered too perverted at the moment… hopefully they don’t see it as some romantic thing, since… I really haven’t even understood anything like Love once in my life.

Yes I felt responsible and honor as the oldest child of my family, but really? The only ones I really cared for truthfully were the useful ones…. I still keep my word to keep them safe from my father which was one that I cared for more than anything.

Though it seems like everyone else is awake aside from Nimue but since she… carried me this far..

Well besides that I guess I will prepare something for them to eat huh? Well first of all I have no idea how long the meat I bought will last. But last night… they didn’t even know how to start a fire properly… they just put sticks in a pile and used a fire spell…. Really unnecessary. Since the pile really isn’t protected that much…. And if the fire or the sticks would shift wouldn’t it cause problems I rather avoid….

So first I need to get is skewers for the meat, and since I really don’t have long enough wood blocks since they were meant for smaller objects. I have to go find some sticks long enough and straight enough to work, though the sun is just barely rising….

While on this train of thought I keep from drawing attention from them and walked off into the woods besides us looking for enough sticks to feed us all.

‘You know.. if you’re a vampire wouldn’t it make the Paladin class useless?’ Rose

No clue, though since I can use holy magic, I am sure I could use the class…. But to me Paladin was one of the classes I really didn’t bother using too much, when I played the game that had it I just used it for a healing tank since…. Most of my friends were just idiots… they only wanted to be the weak defensive classes like archer, rouge, mage,  and fighters. Though fighters had higher defense, really none of them would ever play a healing class, aside from mage it’s heals were mostly like life stealing, my witch class did better on that to begin with…

‘But Paladin is one of your maxed level classes, wouldn’t it be the best we have?’ Rose

Well that depends… I doubt we’d be suddenly surrounded by undead and evil monsters, and most Paladins in stories are like Knights only with a stronger feeling of justice, and ridiculously amount of devotion to their gods.

‘Wouldn’t that make it over powered? I mean you have the blessing of two Gods, and the favor of another, I mean the Goddess of Time, God of War, and the Goddess of Light all liking and watching you.’ Rose

That…. Is good and bad you know? Gods have a habit of playing with people’s lives, that’s why they probably let me keep Paladin maxed. And the fact of Blade Dancer really has maxed out at 50? Isn’t it because the game maxed out at 50? I mean I am sure it went farther…

‘No, Blade Dancer didn’t max at 50 didn’t you remember anything? I am a clone when I use it, there for I can only use half of its levels, though I can pretty much use most of the skills without any issue.’ Rose

So you’re saying if I was to use it I would be able to access the arts of my class? Well not like I would… it’s not like I have had any chance to fight much since I got here since you wanted to fight the first battle… and I didn’t even feel like fighting the bandits…

‘You will have a chance to fight, though you keep a rather low class set… is weird to me… though I guess it is the best you got for stealth.’ Rose

If I had wanted stealth, I would have switched to Hunter, since it is more or less built for that…. But something tells me I should switch to Scavenger on my Job to get the best outcome here… but since it’s just for sticks…

After a few hours I was able to find enough to fit my liking… having gotten mad a few times and snapped too many cause it had too many problems in the curve or knots on them when I was using the wood knife I bought for my figurines to get them nice and sharp points with smooth all the way across it the best I can.

Luckily I was also able to find a river, though I had to test the water to see if it was drinkable, it was really pure compared to my old world were all such things would end up being a problem, but waiting another thirty minutes to let the skewers get the water in them so they won’t burn when I decide to start cooking was strangely boring.

So while waiting I was looking through my herbs I had bought back in town before starting this trip…  to see if I had the proper ones to fix a tasty treat out of this. Though I was really surprised they had the proper stuff to make a sauce that would go good in it though they didn’t call it like we would have in our old world the taste of it was the same as a nice sauce anyone would expect on a shish kabob, only problem is that it is greenish by color.

The spices I couldn’t find eatable mushrooms, but the garlic here was more or less… another shape all together it was even tasted different. More like an onion with a taste of garlic but had a mix of the taste of onions in one.

They had plenty of different peppers but the black pepper I would have preferred wasn’t really here, but I could say that they did have a powder of a non-spicy pepper and a spicy one inside a jar which was rather cheap, and the salt they had was just imported from the sea, but they did have lemons… and believe it or not they had soy sauce.

So while waiting I spent my time grinding and mixing all the spices and herbs into that I thought would also make the meat taste better such as corfix which in my old world would be more or less paprika. Then added them into the sauce while having an empty jar to juice out the lemons while the seasoning then is put into, while shaking it up as much as I could then slowly added meat out that I had ordered to be sliced before hand and something that resembles cherry tomatoes and zucchini to let them marinade inside it.

I would use the sauce I had got to coat it after so it doesn’t take the taste away from the actual spices, and not a lot of people in my old life actually cared for the spices taste, they mostly cared for what tasted good or not.

Well with the prep done on the way back which took me another few hours Nimue was still asleep… really did this girl sleep too much?

And for some reason Rose has gone silent just to watch me for some odd reason she seems really interested in what I am doing and going to make… .she’ll probably ask me to make a clone, but I have always checked my stats secretly before bed, which let me know if I use the clone I can use it at least twice a day if I make it in bare movement since I have now gained over 423 spiritual power, probably with the slow recharge it has a faster increase?

Sitting the fire was actually more annoying then I would have thought since I had picked up some good size sticks for it with rocks to make it look like what I had seen in books. My problem was actually starting the fire… since I am sure I didn’t have any type of magic other then holy, and I really don’t want to chance the chance of being a witch in front of others.

Since that class has been hated and hunted in my own world for a long time to leave a dirty scar on history, but once I finally got it to start I had to even have help with the girl that had minor fire magic anyhow since it just keep going out… even though I was sure I picked sticks that would burn easily…

Taking the sticks out of my item box, I started slowly taking the meat and veggies out and put them one after another two sticks per kabob to hold it in order and stable while after I was done and made sure the spices was coated and sticking to it….

These alchemist jars really do speed the process… I had just questioned the thought of it since it came from my job, to me I had thought they were just jars, but now that I look at it the meat and veggies have the same process of have been in it for over eight hours. So even without that job in use I can use the materials and tools… Probably of lesser quality.

Then I added the sauce over it lightly on all sides before placing them into the fire with the hold I had in the center sticking them into the ground just before the rocks and waited to it got cooked evenly would take at least a little while, but the smell of it is really attracting their attention hell it even woke up Nimue she is eyeing it like a hungry beast about to pounce…. I understand the feeling pretty well.

‘You made an extra one who is that for?’ Rose

It is for you, I figured since my {Perfect clone} is an exact replica of a human body even down to the stomach, and even its functions I figured you would want it.

‘REALLLY~? THANK YOU! YOU’RE THE BEST EVER~!’ Rose

Just shut up! Stop screaming in my head, jeez why are you and everyone I go around so weird and hyper, it’s just food nothing to get energetic about.

Though… I secretly felt happy about it, but I didn’t let it get into my thoughts too much, but I feel she knew anyhow… god… it is a pain when these emotions are not what I am use too.

After it was finished I called everyone over then told them I had someone for them to meet, then did the cloning art allowing Rose to come out and talk to people… but really I think that was a mistake… and why is the clone in a maid outfit?

“Greetings all, I am the humble servant of Princess of Flames” Rose

She bowed while holding her him of the maid outfit like she’s done it for years…. But really I didn’t expect it to be a maid outfit? Maybe she had some influence in that… yeah it had to be her and not me.

Everyone was just eyeing her with a dropped jaw, but Nimue seemed to just get competitive for some odd reason..

“I am the Royal Knight of the Princess of Flames, Nimue Blu Alister” Nimue

She put her hand over her chest and slightly bowed her head while standing attention.

“I guess… I should introduce myself as all of you have done so and we have been ill mannered in this case I am Jona…” Jona

Having said that I didn’t bother to care about the rest of them any farther since it is just polite to really introduce myself to them, but for some reason I think I decided to ignore them cause of Rose and Nimue, both seemed to be staring at each other with great effort which is somehow really scary…

Though once the food was done and handed to everyone, the first bite they took made all of them even Rose stiffen up like a board.

What did I make it wrong? To me it taste perfect… but I have been told in the past I add a bit too much into the seasonings and could drown out the actual meat or veggies taste… but I can’t say anything to that since to me. Well before I got this body tasting food without enough seasoning didn’t have any taste at all.

“…. Not good?” Jona

I really don’t know if it my eyes on them since all of them seem to be setting on a higher ground then me or the fact my emotionless face is scary, but all of them couldn’t help but turned their heads down as if to hide their faces from me even Rose herself, though she doesn’t seem to hide her emotions, and lets them flow, I had a feeling she would of told me if it was bad or not… not this reaction

While I was starting to feel bad for giving them something that didn’t taste good, before I could even say anything else they started eating it with great vigor… and was gone before I even realized… did they really force themselves to eat my cooking? It’s… not good for your health… to eat bad food…

And it is worse cause for some reason none of them could look at me, or even say anything just keep looking down or away in the other direction while I finished my meal.

“the skewers… can I have them back” Jona

It took too long to find the sticks that would make these… I would hate to do it every time I rather re wash them and use them again, but some reason their reactions was faster than expected cause they all handed them back to me.

In their haste I could see one of them having drool still on her mouth probably was too bad that she wanted to puke?

While washing them in the sanitizer before rinsing them off with some of the water I had in a water skin leather bag before putting them back into my item box.

Still feeling down I put out the fire and without even calling out to them started walking down the road, but I guess they moved fast enough cause they caught up to me after thirty minutes breathing very heavily.

“you.. really shouldn’t walk so fast… it is hard to catch up…” All of the girls said even Rose,

“Hmph” Jona

I couldn’t take my time to deal with rude people that wouldn’t even answer my question to my cooking…  Not that I was wanting a compliment or anything… really I didn’t expect one, I just would have thought they would say something, but even I myself has no clue as to why it is upsetting me.
