Chapter 8:
The Perfect Older Daughter Who Can Never Get Her Parents’ Recognition Is Reborn into Another World
We encounter a beast early on the second day. The beast looked like a navy-blue bison. It was away from the rest of the herd on the road. Before getting closer, everyone took their positions to attack. Dad stayed in the back with Paulus and me. That didn’t make any sense to me. Dad looks like the strongest of the group. I heard he went to the academy too, so he probably knows how to fight. Just give Dad a sword and let Mom stay with us. But suddenly, the three adventurers and Mom attack the beast.
“By the Gods, bring your presence before me, come forth and ignite from within me, fire boost!” In an instant, Fabia’s body was shining, and she jumped head-on to stop the bull that was running toward us at great speed. The closer the bison got, the more I could see how terrifying the beast was. The bison’s eyes were red, its horns were massive and pointing upwards, its tail sounded like a whip, it had a gigantic frontal bone, it was easily more than 9 feet in height and 12 feet in length, and it was powerfully built. It looks as big as a tank or a big boulder.
“Deities of the wind, by life you guide, power unleashed in the tempest’s cry, cut through the dark with a light and crisp slice, wind of the Spirit, unseen, untamed, guide us by your might, boost speed!” Quintus said, and Pontius started shining, and then he disappeared.
Fabia stopped the bison head-on with both of her hands, like the bison was a small pug holding the bison’s horn. The bison dragged her for a couple of yards, but the beast stopped completely. Pontius was already next to the bull, sword out, cutting its head off with a clean slice. The battle ended in seconds. I could not believe what I saw.
“Anto, your defensive magic is as powerful as ever. It felt like I was stopping a puppy. I don’t think I could stop it with my battle aura alone.”
“He, he, he, he,” Mom grinned. “I kept practicing magic, you know. Someone must protect the family.”
“I will gather the materials and meat; we will have fresh meat for the road!” Said Quintus.
“Anto wash me and Pontius with water magic. I don’t want the blood of the Bison all over my clothes.”
“Sure, but I'm not part of your party, I’m gonna need a discount.”
“You greedy witch. I guess people don’t change after all.”
“Uh ha ha ha, rich people are good at saving.”
“Don’t listen to her, Fabia.” Said Dad.
Nothing else happened on the road. It looks like adventurers often clean off monsters from the main road. We also saw other people on the road. Everyone looked friendly, but some would ignore Dad completely. I didn’t like that, but it seems Dad was used to that treatment.
On the morning of the fourth day, I woke up early and decided to sneak away from Mom and Dad to find Fabia. This was my last chance to get a good look at her. I got out of our tent. And start walking around the camp. The fire was almost extinguished, and it looked like no one was around. I would like to know in which tent Fabia is sleeping. As I moved further away from the other tents, something caught my foot. I was being held in the air by my foot! Fabia got me!
“Hey, what are you doing here? Did you come to change guarding duty with me?” she said, smiling.
“Sis is p-ret-ty. Hug.” I said, laughing. Mom loves it when I tell her she is pretty.
“What a cute baby!” She hugged me and kissed me all over.
To my surprise, she also has a small chest! What is going on in this world? Everyone seems skinny. She is pretty regardless, and with a defined build. She is wearing a skirt and a blouse. I was kissing her and hugging her all over, it reminded me of Minoru, my cat. I couldn’t stop myself from smelling and kissing her. She looks like a normal human. However, she has cat ears and a tail. Her hair is orange, and it feels different from human hair. I could tell her hair continues from her head in a thin line down her back.
“Do you like me, little princess? Okay, I will let you stay with me for a moment. I’m looking around, guarding the camp in case any bad people or monsters appear.” She chanted wind magic, and then she jumped up through the branches of a big tree that was close to the camp. From the top, we could see the entire area, and the sun was rising.
“You see this direction? That’s where we are heading, the city of Dale. That’s the closest city to the capital where the royal palace is.” In the distance, I could see the city we were heading to. I’m excited. There are so many things to explore in this world.
“We will get there in around 5 hours. Oh, I guess Mom just found out she is missing something.” Said Fabia.
In an instant, we were on the ground heading to the camp. I heard my mom shouting my name in the distance.
“She’s okay, I find her walking around in the camp,” Fabia said.
“Ah, thank you. She is a wild one, well awake and always looking for adventures.” Mom said.
