One More Time: Rebirth

Chapter 29: Obligatory bandit attack or not

I was fighting the demon lord. All of my companions were already dead. I was the only one who reached the innermost chambers. The battle was fierce but it seems like the demon lord was hesitating. I slice the helmet the demon lord was wearing what I saw behind the helmet was...

I woke up and I saw Tsukiyomi was staring at me seriously. It was at that moment I finally understood what was happening as I sensed that we were surrounded.

The Horse carriage stopped while the coachman was in a state of panic. "What do you want to do Edge? Will I finish them or will you?" Even though we are surrounded and outnumbered Tsukiyomi asked so nonchalantly.

Well, this really doesn't seem like a threat. I do know the people of this world are stronger than those of my previous one. But that doesn't necessarily mean everyone is stronger. These bandits had very average mana fluctuations and even the way they surrounded us was easily found out.

"I'll do it, I want to test something out." When I got out of the carriage what awaited me were unconscious bandits that were already beaten up. We were in a place surrounded by large trees, which made it an ideal area for an ambush.

'Who the hell did this?' I looked at the surrounding area. Tsukiyomi also went out of the carriage and looked around with me. We then saw a man in a white robe. He had messy green hair, a sleepy look in his face that didn't match his handsome figure.

His eyes where azure blue like mine. He didn't carry anything not a sword nor a staff meaning he beat these bandits with his bare hands. Tsukiyomi whispered in my ear with a serious tone.

"That guy is incredibly strong." This was the first time I heard Tsukiyomi say someone was incredibly strong in such a serious manner. Even my parents were rated as so-so by her.

It was then that I noticed it, I couldn't feel his presence? Even though he was right in front of me I still couldn't feel his presence. Even with my eyes directly staring at him, it seems like he isn't really there.

As oppose to Tsukiyomi's overwhelming presence that even if suppressed you could still feel it. This guy had nothing it was as if he himself was nothing. The man in the white robe looked at me and Tsukiyomi. He then nodded with a smile on his face.

"I see... The other one looks good but doesn't have the thing most necessary... (Sigh) If only she had more of those she would be perfect. Well anyway, see you later Edge-kun, Tsukiyomi-chan."

After staring at Tsukiyomi and saying those lines he said our names. "Hey wait how do you-" Before I could finish asking the mysterious man was already running away. I followed him but neither Tsukiyomi nor I could catch up to him.

'What the hell was that?' "Hey, Tsukiyomi do you know who he is?" Tsukiyomi shook her head then said with a little hostility.

"I don't know who that rude man is... But the next time I see him I'll be sure to half kill him." This was the first time I felt and heard such negative emotions coming from Tsukiyomi. What did that man do? Wait something Tsukiyomi lacks? I looked at Tsukiyomi, specifically her breast.

"I see..." I murmured to myself, I then felt Tsukiyomi's hostility was directed toward me. Did I dig my own grave?

"Hey Edge why did you say, I see?" She was smiling but her ruby red eyes weren't.

"Nothing much, I just realized something," I answered nonchalantly, even though I was sweating a little as I felt Tsukiyomi's killing intent.

"Are you willing to tell me what you realized?"

"Nothing much, I just realized that some people are more fortunate than others," I answered. Tsukiyomi looked at my nonchalant expression and sighed as she suddenly came close to me.

"Hey Edge I'm feeling a little bit itchy, and I'm sure that you are too since you didn't get to fight. So how about we spar a little, before we continue on our journey." Without even waiting for my reply Tsukiyomi started attacking.

Bruised all over I was treating myself while Tsukiyomi was still in a bad mood. We then finally reached the capital, Shura. Upon seeing the streets filled with unknown delicacies Tsukiyomi's mood turned from bad to great. "Edge as punishment from your rude thoughts awhile ago, later you must bring me to all the food stalls. You must accompany me until I'm satisfied."

Seeing as you already beat me up, you want to extort money as well? I then looked at Tsukiyomi whose glittering eyes were looking at the food stalls in excitement. I could only sigh, as I answered with a slight smile. "Sure my queen."
