Girl's Story

In the early morning before Bourne went for the quest, he ate breakfast together with Ur, but somehow her complexion was quite bad.

"Ur, what's wrong?"

"Hmm... Nothing, just eat your breakfast since you need to do your quest later."

"....."

Bourne was very uncomfortable, and somehow he had some idea why she was angry, but at the same time, he felt that his reaction was normal since he was a child. Even though he wasn't a child inside, his body was a child's. He didn't think too much and decided to eat his breakfast calmly hoping time would solve it.

Ur hated herself and sighed inwardly. She looked at Bourne and somehow she couldn't be honest with herself. She knew that it was wrong, and she shouldn't do it, but somehow, it was hard to deny it.

'No, I can't!'

Ur shook her head and ate breakfast quietly.

The only noise which could be heard in the room was the sound of their chewing and spoon which hit the plate.

"Please help us!"

The head village bowed his head and asked Bourne and Ur to help them once again. He had asked them last night, but he felt that it wasn't enough and asked him for this request once again. Bourne had told him before that depending on what had happened during the quest then he might ask for more reward since the difficulty of the quest might increase.

The head village didn't really mind it as long as the job was done.

"Don't worry, we'll solve this quest."

Bourne looked at Ur who was smiling while answering the head village. 'She's in a better mood.'

"E, excuse me..."

Bourne and Ur turned and saw a quite beautiful girl with long wavy hair and freckles on her face in front of them. Based on her appearance, she might be in her 17 or 18.

"Yes, is there something?"

Ur looked at Bourne and frowned.

"Please save my fiance! He has been kidnapped by Vulcan and I, I hope for him to come back."

"Your fiance?" Ur asked.

The girl nodded then looked at Ur. "Yes." She smiled and couldn't help but reminisce. "He's 20 years older than me, but I love him very much. He wanted to protect the village, but..." She couldn't help but cry when she thought that she would lose him.

"20 years?" Ur was surprised.

"Haha..." The girl laughed in a self-depriciating tone while looking at Ur. "I know that you might be surprised, but I love him. When I was child, he took care of me and loved me dearly as if his daughter. But I don't want to become his daughter and I want to become his wife..." It might be because that she had been in a very weak state and the two people in front of her were a magician who had accepted the quest of her village that she couldn't help but tell them about her past with her fiance which was missing.

"......"

'20 years difference?'

Ur looked at Bourne and he just happened to look at her. She hurriedly looked away and blushed. 'What the hell am I blushing for? Think of your age, dammit!' Unlike the girl in front of her, her relationship was different and she was an old hag in his mind after all. She was her teacher and he was her student, that's all.

'But...'

"Ur, let's go."

His words caused her to break her thoughts. Ur nodded and reassured the girl that she would save her fiance. She didn't know that when she was talking with the girl, Bourne had been looking at her closely and seemed to observe her.

Then they didn't waste their time anymore and quickly went toward the snowy mountain which was being told as a den of Vulcan.

It might be because he had been trained in the snowy mountain all of years and even went on wearing only his undies that it made him feel this cold was quite comfortable. He was sure that he would be alright to walk in this place with only an aloha shirt, shorts, and sandals.

Enough of his random thoughts, Bourne was quite calm for his first quest and it might be because of his personality had changed somehow after his reincarnation which made it very hard for him to become surprise, alert, or even lose his composure. He wasn't sure what was the reason, but he thought that it might be a side effect of being reincarnated? Well, he wasn't sure, but besides being unable to remember his own name, he remembered everything in his life, even the data which he kept on his hard-disk. He hoped that no one would open his hard-disk since it would reveal a lot of things there (definitely not porn). But he knew that it was useless to think about it since he was living in this world now and not in his previous world.

While Bourne was thinking about something useless, Ur was thinking about the story which came from the mouth of that girl before. She might be strong, but her mind was quite fragile and she was also afraid of getting hurt. It was also the reason why she had decided to live on the mountain rather than living on the town. Being abandoned by her husband, she felt hurt at first, but she didn't mind that when she thought about her daughter since she felt that she could live very well with her daughter, but fate played her and made her lose her only daughter.

In a moment, when she wasn't sure about her life, she found him in a very strange place and she took care of him on a whim. Then she also decided to make him into her pupil after she saw that he couldn't control his inborn magic which was quite powerful magic. She taught him a lot of magic and he could learn it quickly. Both of them had grown attached to each other in the past year and both of them had been living together. It might be because he was too young for her to see him as an opposite gender, but when she thought about it he was a man after all. He might be young, but he was very dependable. She was strong, but she was clumsy. However, he was there to fill what she couldn't do and even taught her somehow.

Looking at Bourne who was walking in front of her, Ur was sure that he would become very popular in the future and there would be a lot of girls who came at him, but somehow she felt indignant when she thought about it. She knew that it was very bad for her to think about such a thing, but she didn't think too much since she felt that it was normal for her to worry about him being caught by a strange girl.

However, last night, when she asked him on a whim, his answer annoyed her. She knew that he might not understand a woman's feelings that much and she might want him to treat her differently or rather more than a normal teacher deep in her heart. She became angry when he asked her whether she wanted to marry someone since she thought that he didn't have feelings for her. She was wondering whether it was alright for him to let her marry someone. She was wondering whether his feelings for her were so shallow that he was able to give her to someone else. She pouted and her heart became uncomfortable again. Though, at the same time, she also thought about the age difference between the two of them. She gave birth to her daughter at 18 years old and she was very young back then. For now, she didn't want to admit her age, even though she was young, but compared to Bourne, she was older after all.

However, when she heard the story of the girl, her heart started to tremble. She didn't expect love would be that powerful. She looked at Bourne and wasn't sure what this boy was thinking. She also thought that his thoughts would change when he became older later.

"Ur, Ur."

"Y, Yes!"

Ur was startled when her name was being called.

"Here, they're."

Hearing Bourne's words, Ur looked at her surrounding area and noticed Vulcan which appeared in front of them.
