Rudeus's POV
..
..
Oh man....
I knew Nanahoshi might react this way but now this is so awkward...
Nanahoshi has been crying for about two minutes now and it doesn't seem to stop....
The poor thing is curled up, and covers her face with her hands while sobbing loudly...
This will certainly not end well if I don't do something...
-h-hey Nanahoshi...Calm down... let me explain everything to you... - I said as I slowly approached her
I touched her shoulder gently and in that instant upon feeling my touch Nanahoshi raised her head and looked into my eyes
Her eyes are swollen from crying and wide open.
He stayed like that for a few seconds, looking me straight in the eyes and...
-.....uuuug... Rudeus!!- She screamed and lunged at me, hugging me tightly as she buried her head in my chest while continuing to cry.
(sigh)
And to think that Orsted lightened the mood
If he hadn't spoken to her before me, the poor girl would have fainted instantly...
So I tried to comfort her as best I could.
-shhhh, calm down Nanahoshi, stop crying I'm here- I told him while stroking his hair
-uuuuuu....I..(sniff), I was...so..(sniff), so devastated...(Sniff), Peragius told me that...(Sniff), that you had died...uuu...- She said between sobs as her hug became tighter.
I didn't answer her and continued hugging her and stroking her head.
(sniff)-I...I...missed you...so much...Rudeus...(Sniff), those were the worst days of my life...(Sniff)
Nananoshi continued, but he seemed to have realized something because he immediately let go of me and looked into my eyes.
-Watashi no koto o rikai dekimasu ka?...,(You, can you understand me?)-He said in Japanese
I see you must have your doubts, I don't blame you.
-Mochiron nanahoshi-san no kimochi wa yoku wakarimasu (Of course Nanahoshi, I understand you perfectly)- I answered
This made her even more surprised and a beautiful smile appeared on her face and she cried again and even harder than before without first hugging me again tighter than before
-Sore wa hontōni anatadesu!! Watashi wa totemo shiawasedesu!! (It's really you!! I'm so happy!!)- she said while sobbing but now from joy
..
..
About 10 minutes passed and Nanahoshi had finally controlled herself a little but she was still sobbing a little and she couldn't take her eyes off me.
-And...how did it happen?...I...I mean how did you end up in the future?- Nanahoshi asked me.
-Well, it's a long story, do you want me to summarize it for you?- I asked him.
-Tell me everything- he replied with a beautiful smile
-Okay...well, I was in the teleportation labyrinth with my father and we were fighting a hydra when....
...
...
-And that brings us to today- I finished telling him, it had taken me half an hour to tell him everything in detail and the more I told him, Nanahoshi took a thoughtful position.
-We have an idea of how I could have ended up here...but it's not entirely certain- I added.
-hmmm... from experience, time travel is not impossible, right?- he told me with a smile
What are you talking about?...
Noticing my confusion Nanahoshi put on a surprised expression and spoke
-Hey! I-I mean I've seen that your version of the future but the other version, the one that warned your other version of the future about Hitogami's betrayal, He achieved travel to the Past...and...so...traveling to the future isn't so impossible right?- she said
....what?, what was he trying to say?
Oh yes... it must be from that other diary from the future... I haven't read it and Orsted didn't recommend it to me either, but he said that version of me had a very tragic life.
-Demo sore wa chigaimasu, anogoro no watashi wa katte ni kako e tabidatte ita nodesuga, watashi wa nanimono ka ni yotte mirai e yobidasa rete shimatta nodesu….(But this is different, that version of me traveled on its own to the past, but I was summoned by something or someone to the future)- I told him in Japanese, I feel it's best for Orsted or Alek to hear something that is not due.
-Rudy..there is no need for that here, anyway we must discuss it with Orsted and Peragius right?- She told me
Since when does she call me Rudy?....Meh, nevermind
-Well.... you're right, so do you have any ideas?-I asked her looking into her eyes
Am I hallucinating or what? Because when I looked into her eyes she blushed and looked away.
-hmmm, the theory that something happened in the future is not so far-fetched, it is the only logical reason for someone to have summoned you in such a way, although it seems that it was a wrong magic... - she said while closing her eyes thoughtfully but I could notice a slight blush on her
-Yes...but what went wrong? That's what we want to know...- I said while I racked my brains for an answer.
-That doesn't matter now, that future will never happen now- she replied
-What do you mean?- I asked him intrigued.
-I mean that because you are here that future will no longer happen, why? Because now you are here, precisely to avoid that future, it may not even have been a wrong date...maybe...Maybe... they sent you here on purpose, to prevent everything...- Nanahoshi said as her tone of voice became more enthusiastic.
-That...that makes sense actually!- I said excitedly to Nanahoshi while looking at her with a smile
She froze on the spot and blushed deeply.
-you- You're welcome... and I'm good at this..- she said while While playing with one of her locks of hair
-Sore ni, watashi wa anata ga inakute totemo sabishikatta wa ne? .... Anata nashide koko ni iru no wa imi ga nakatta...(Besides, I missed you a lot, you know?...it didn't make sense to be here without you anymore)- Nanahoshi said in a whisper but I heard it...
-Mā... Watashi ni totte wa, anata ni awanakatta sūkagetsukandattanode, watashi mo anata ga inakute totemo samishikattadesu (Well...for me it was a few months without seeing you so I missed you a lot too)- I answered with a smile
Nanahoshi opened her eyes wide and her face seemed to turn a tomato from how red it was and she looked at the floor
-Watashi wa... Tsumari... Sōde wa arimasen...(I...I meant...not that...- Nanahoshi stammered with her head down, eyes closed and face red as a tomato.
This one made me laugh so I tried to keep teasing her.
-Ato, yasashī nanahoshi o nogasanai ni wa dōsureba īdeshou ka...(Also, how could I not miss my sweet Nanahoshi right? That would be)- I said before a knock on the door interrupted me.
*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK*
-Lord Rudeus, Miss Nanahoshi, I ask you please to only speak the human language in Lord Peragius' castle please- said Sylvaril from the other side of the door
-Yes, we are sorry- I replied
-What do you think if we go out Nanahoshi?- I asked her but when I saw her I was surprised
The girl was still the same, her head down and red as a tomato, she was breathing with difficulty and I swore I saw steam coming out of her head.
-Hey, are you okay?....- I asked him a little scared
-Yes..yes!, it's just that..all this is very sudden, that's it- she answered me While avoiding looking into my eyes
We left the room and Orsted and Alek were no longer there but Sylvaril was waiting for us
-I assume you've finished talking, right?- Sylvaril asked us.
-Yes, indeed- Miss Sylvaril could you take us to Orsted please?- I asked her
She looked at me with an indignant face, flapped her wings repeatedly and spoke.
-Please follow me- he said as he began to walk.
Nanahoshi walked beside me but something that surprised me was that she grabbed my hand without saying anything, I guess she must have missed me a lot, right?
Without protest I accepted his hold and we walked through the castle hand in hand.
