Chapter 19 - Finished already?

Reiji is jumping through the woods killing monsters as A distant figure follows amazed.

Reiji is bored as the fight with the bloody queen is in his mind.

" These mere beasts with no intelligence are no challenge to me, but I have yet to see it here. I've been here too long already..and that damn old geezer didn't even give me the reward for the queens death.

Reiji stares into the distance.."I wonder what was wrong with Rosalie." reiji jumps up towards a tree as a screeching howl permeates the surrounding area.

the black cloaked figure is stumbling in the woods as they look up and pant.

" how..far..can..he ..go" suddenly the screech resounds deafening the cloaked figure as a giant beast rushes towards the cloaked figure and knocks them away.

The cloak figures cloak is torn showing her face. It's Rosalie. what she's doing here reiji wonders. doesn't know but he has little time so he swings his fist as hard as he can shouting [white emperors fist]

Rosalie looks up as a hole is punched straight through the giant beast. she gets a good look at this beast. a 10 meter tall centaur with an axe on its back and red slit pupils.

She screams. A 2 srar rank knight beast!!! the beast falls to the side as it's heart is crushed by the surprise attack.

reiji jumps down his long coat billowing in the breeze as he looks at her sun shining behind him reiji asks." Are you okay Rosalie?

Rosalie cries desperately clinging to Reiji " i..was..so scared why..why did they send you here?

Reiji looks puzzled and pulls out the quest slip. Wanted : beast breaker kagune. beware!!! this is a 2 star knight beast. it is weakened by our guild master for training purposes.

Rosalie looks at the beast and notices scars all over its body 1 missing arm and its heart missing. reiji picks her up and carries her back to town.

"you know I can walk right" Rosalie says while hiding her face red in reijis chest feeling his warmth.

Reiji sighs inwardly sweating.. "Like hell I'd let you walk dammit I just saved you and you almost get killedagain." they walk towards the gate Rosalie grabs reijis shirt and asks him to stop.

he does and she stands there tears rolling down her cheeks. reiji reaches down and wipes her tears. " No matter who, no matter where I reiji hashimiya will not allow the mistreatment of others in my eyes all are equal except for 3. I shall always strive to help those around me.. tell me what is bothering you Rosalie?

Rosalie cries loudly holding onto reiji. Reiji is wondering to himself. Was that a bit much? why is she crying?

Rosalie starts yo tell her sordid tale. I am from a mountain forest near this capital even though we are allowed to stay most of us are exiled my parents and I were happy once..before. Before they came at night while most of us were sleeping a group of human nobles appeared taking us in the night burning our village and killing most of the young ones. I can't trust elves because of our exile.. Now humans attack and take us? over time elves and humans have bought us as well. Which made me wary of you.

I escaped as my father attacked a guard hoping to find help in town. but by thd time i got there. I was starved and desperate..that's when you appeared to save me. her tears roll continously as she explains.

Reiji stands her up and hugs her causing her to cry out more. reiji starts seeping killing intent startling rosalie. she pulls back and puts up a fighting stance as she sees the look on his face distorted in anger.

Rosalie backs away" s..sir..are you.." reiji is my name reiji hashimiya you can just call me reiji"

she nods as the killing intent deepens. her teeth start to chatter in fear as reiji stamps the ground causing a large depression to form. cracks appear across the ground slightly shaking the ground from the impact.

Rosalie falls and covers her face. then suddenly the intent and pressure stop. " I am sorry Rosalie. I got a bit carried away Wil you be making a request of the guild?

Rosalie eyes widen"..but..I have nothing to offer." her face darkens solemnly as she bites her lip. reiji interjects "you already paid me" she looks puzzled as reiji wipes her tears again."

make the request and take me there I promise to get you your family back

Rosalie jumps into reijis chest as she cries out..thank you thank you so much. reiji pats her head and says.

Thank me when your family is returned to you. he picks her up once again walking towards the city gates as they open." It's time for an adventure Rosalie."
