I'm already used to the feeling of teleportation
I opened my eyes and found myself in the same basement as a few days ago when I traveled with Roxy, obviously we were now in the city of Roa
We went up the stairs and found ourselves in a familiar atmosphere like the headquarters but in a smaller building.
To my surprise James was nowhere to be seen but it wasn't like that guy mattered.
I was holding the urn tightly to me and I could see that Sylphie was giving it uncomfortable glances.
I suppose that a situation like this is not normal and even weird...
Obviously we did not go unnoticed by our sudden appearance in the building but when they looked at Sylphie they either quickly lost interest or stared at her with other intentions.
Noticing this I brought her closer to me with one arm claiming her lips
The poor employees, seeing this, immediately stopped seeing my beloved.
We left the headquarters and walked towards the streets
Our plan is to go to Buena using a motorized carriage, and these are just outside the city.
I looked at Sylphie beside me and she had a slightly angry and embarrassed expression.
-What was all that about?- he asked me with a frown.
-Excuse me, what do you mean?- I said, playing dumb.
-Don't pretend Rudy!, that thing about kissing me in front of all those people, it was embarrassing you know?.....- Sylphie murmured
-Huh? Yeah, I was just showing to those employees that you're mine, but it seems like you enjoyed it, right? - I said with a smile.
-W-well.....I don't dislike it at all....but you know how embarrassing it is to do it in public!- Sylphie said with an adorable pout
-Huh? So what happens if I do this?- I said kissing her quickly and deeply.
When I left her, poor Sylphie was red as a tomato and staring into space.
-I...I...well...if you put it that way...- Sylphie murmured, snuggling up to my free arm.
-good girl- I whispered to her
Sylphie shuddered at that and nodded.
We walked for about half an hour to the exit of the city.
Apparently they rebuilt the protective walls but they are not even close to the same as the ones they had in my childhood.
At the exit of the wall there was a small caravan of motorized carriages and something like a toll booth next to it.
It seems that this is our means of transport
From what I could tell this was a very popular service as carriages came and went from the city.
We decided to order one to go quickly to the city.
-Good morning, one to go to the city Buena please- I said to a guy at the counter
At first glance I could describe him as someone average, dark brown hair, black eyes, with dark circles, about 40 years old and thin.
The living image of a salaryman bitter with life
He looked at me and Sylphie with a bored expression and looked at some kind of price list.
-How many are traveling?- he said to me in a monotonous tone.
-Just the two of us- I replied
The man looked at us again and at the price list.
-It would be 2 copper coins per person- the man said in total disinterest
We paid him and he gave us two tickets to board the carriage.
We handed our tickets to a carriage driver and boarded in one.
The interior of the carriage is not luxurious but at least it is padded. I was surprised that it has glass windows with a crank to raise and lower them.
With this cold we obviously decided to keep them closed, plus it has curtains for more privacy.
Sylphie sat next to me and the carriage started to move.
Although the carriage has space for about 6 people, it seems to be a fast service.
As the roads are now paved and the carriage is motorized, the speed of this was remarkable.
We move quickly along the path without worries
Sylphie took advantage of this to snuggle up next to me.
I decided to take advantage of this and caressed her buttocks
She didn't protest and to my surprise she uncovered her breast.
I continued groping her for a while but we stopped because she was about to cum and we didn't want her to get her clothes dirty.
Still Sylphie remained curled up next to me for the rest of the trip.
-I love you Sylphie- I said with a smile
-Yes, I love you too- she told me with a smile
In my childhood a trip from Buena to Roa lasted about 6 to 8 hours in a normal carriage.
But in this motorized carriage we reached the city in just one hour, to my great surprise.
After thanking the carriage for its services, we entered the now Buena City...
The view was....breathtaking in a certain sense
Obviously it didn't look anything like the Buena I remember.
It was now a large city with a huge protective wall around it.
I had mixed feelings about being here just like Sylphie.
I looked at her, took her hand, kissed her cheek and we entered the city.
We walked through the streets, the houses were now sophisticated stone or wooden houses, nothing like the humble houses far from each other that I remembered, people stared at Sylphie and also me with surprised faces
Although I can understand them, practically celebrities returning to their place of origin is not something that is seen every day.
-Miss Sylphiette has returned?-
-Will it be a baptism?
-Isn't that Mr. Rudeus?!-
These were some of the murmurs I heard.
We walked for about 20 minutes until we saw a small area of the city without pavement, inside that land was a ruined house and there were some people around
Of course I knew what place this was...it's my first house, the house where I spent a good part of my childhood until I was 7 years old...
The people around her were visibly surprised by my presence and Sylphie's
My old home was just as destroyed as I remembered....
Around the house there was a kind of protective mesh and in front there was a sign
"Rudeus Greyrat's home 407-481"
"The house was abandoned in 417 after the disaster of Mana"
These are the things the poster said
Seeing the people crowding around me, I decided to leave the place, after all, this is not where I plan to bury the ashes.
..
We walked for another half hour but I stopped to buy an apple plant.
-What is that plant for, Rudy? - Sylphie asked me curiously.
-It's for the grave, we'll plant it right on top- i explained.
We left at one point in the city and began to walk through the crop area to the place of a small hill, by the expression of Sylphie she must have already gotten an idea of where we were going.
Shortly after we arrived at the place, a small hill with a dead tree right at the top overlooking the entire city.
The place where Sylphie and I used to play when we were kids
We decided to sit here for a while leaning against the old dead tree
-You know, when I was a kid, the only good thing about my day was being here with you Rudy- Sylphie said as she snuggled up next to me.
-And when I married you every day was the best and still is- she continued.
I listened to her in silence while stroking her head
-So no matter what happens Rudy, I'll always be with you okay?- Sylphie told me looking me in the eyes
My response was to kiss her passionately for a long time.
Using gravity magic I pulled out the remains of the dead tree and threw it away.
In the hole that was left I put the urn, with magic earth I filled the hole and put the apple plant on top
It was an unmarked grave, which I didn't expect anyone to recognize.
Sylphie probably had mixed feelings about this but she didn't protest at all.
-If we are lucky, this tree will grow and be just as big as the previous one, and who knows, maybe it will serve as a play area for another pair of children who will grow up and fall in love like us- I said with a smile as I hugged Sylphie
-Rudy...how do you do it?....- Sylphie told me with teary eyes
-What?- I answered, caressing his hair.
-How do you make me fall in love with you more with a few simple words?- Sylphie murmured as she pulled me in for a kiss.
We stood there for a few moments observing the plant and eventually decided to return.
We had too much ahead of us to hold on to the past, I have to fight for what I have now
