Chapter 68 Shaman's Life Before It All Began

After being frustrated and giving up on what Rea said Elysia, Shaman and Wolfy had some dinner and unpacked some of their stuff.

After getting comfortable Elysia and Shaman jumped into bed and snuggled into each other.

"I will say this is the most comfortable bed we have been in." Elysia was impressed with the bed as she has never had this kind of luxury before.

"It feels like I never transported worlds at times, since there are so many things that are just like where I came from." Shaman couldn't help but get a sense of familiarity as it seemed like her world just seemingly merged into the one she currently is.

"Now that I think about it you have not really told what your life was like in your old world." Elysia had heard the different technologies but not much about Shaman and what she was like.

"Well that's because it was not that interesting and the only reason why I'm so good fighting is just because I inherited the skills from the previous owner so other than that I'm not that special." Shaman was really grateful to be given such an edge in this new world as she never was anything special before coming to where she is now.

"I don't care about if you were good at combat, I did not even ask about that, I just want to know about you." Elysia flicked Shaman on the forehead as it was unnecessary for her to bring up combat.

"Ow!" Shaman put her hand on her forehead and looked at Elysia with an annoyed stare.

"Oh come on don't be like that, just hurry up and tell me about yourself." Elysia smiled, causing Shaman's heart to melt a little and forgive her for the flick.

"Okay fine." Shaman caved in as they had nothing better to do and would not hurt to tell Elysia.

"But you have to tell me about yourself as well." Shaman also realized that she hadn't heard much of Elysia's life before they met. Elysia sat there in silence for a moment as it seemed to be a heavy topic for her.

"I will but not tonight, how about after we reach tier 5 I will tell you my story." Elysia's voice was rather shaky.

"Deal." Shaman did not want to push Elysia into telling her story as it seemed rather difficult to even think about.

"Thank you." Elysia let out a deep breath as she was really glad that Shaman was willing to wait for her just a little bit longer despite her asking before.

"Well I guess I will start with when I got into high school as nothing really interesting happened when I was below the age of 13." Shaman had a pretty normal and mundane life and nothing noteworthy she could really think of.

"What's high school?" Elysia what normal school was but no idea what Shaman meant by high school

"Oh it just means normal school but for when you are between the ages of 13 to 18..." Shaman went on to explain to Elysia how her world's education system worked so she would understand some of the terminology she would use.

"Ah okay so you just finished high school before you got transported then?" Elysia knew Shaman was the same age and that they were around the end of the year.

"Yes I had actually just turned 18 when I got transported." Shaman had completely forgotten that her birthday was only 2 weeks ago.

"damn looks like I have to wait a year before I can get you a gift. " Elysia was a little disappointed in how long she had to wait but that gave her all the more time to think of what to get her.

"Well anyway, I was rather alone during my early years of school as I had only just moved into the town recently so I was rather an outlier when going to school."

"I was also rather tall as well so I was seen as the odd one and bullied by what you would call the popular girls and it never really bothered me." Shaman could see the annoyed look on Elysia's face and could tell she had added a few people to a kill list.

"Anyway I usually just read books and watch shows to escape from the real world and engage in a fantasy one."

"I even wished to be a part of that fantasy world and leave the one I was currently in as it just sounded so much better than reality but that wish never really came."

"However when I was a bit older I did manage to make some friends, however it was still very surface level and I never created a deep bond with them."

"I do miss them but I would always use novels to escape and pass time and get rid of the stress I would be feeling."

"I played a lot of video games but If I were to try to explain it to you, we may be here all night." Shaman was very hesitant to get into it as she was unsure how easy Elysia would grasp the concept of the internet. Elysia did not ask questions as it was already hard enough for Shaman to explain some of the things from her world.

"I have always been an underachiever and was just an average student so I can't say I was anything spectacular in the long run but here I am now with you having a much better life despite being almost killed already." Shaman began to feel a little depressed as she really did have a mundane life up until now.

"So how was it, my interesting life story where I was just alone for most of it and was bullied just because I was tall." Shaman let out an awkward.

"Well I know I have to pay a visit to some people in the future and to think someone so special was so alone, I wish I could have been there with you." Elysia felt a little sad for Shaman.

"Don't be sad, that's in the past plus I am here now and I don't even know if I would want to go back to my old world."

"I guess you're right but still I can't help but have a bit of heartache." Elysia pulled Shaman in closer, smothering Shaman in her chest.

"I really appreciate the concern but we need to get some sleep otherwise I feel like we might not get through Himeko's training." Shaman realized it was getting late and would rather not be sleep deprived.

"Yes but I'm not letting go tonight." Elysia pulled Shaman in even tighter now making it impossible for Shaman to speak.

Shaman did not bother and continued to enjoy Elysia's embrace and even almost began to cry as it had been so long since someone other than her family had shown affection towards her.

'I'm so glad I met you.' Shaman held back the tears and peacefully went to sleep in Elysia's arms.

The morning had arrived and a expected guest had arrived.

"Awww~ how cute." Himeko had come to wake the girls up and could see the two snuggling each other.

"I kind of don't want to wake them up, they look so cute together and peaceful." Himeko was conflicted as the site of the 2 fox girls was just too adorable.

"I'm glad Shaman has found happiness but training comes first sadly." Himeko shook her head and hovered over the bed.

"Now, what's the best way to wake them up?" Himeko was thinking of a good way to wake them up and then she spotted the tail of Shaman poke out from the cover.

"Fufufu~" Himeko slightly pulled down the cover so she could see the tail of Elysia and Shaman.

"Let's see how they feel after I pick them up by the tail." Himeko reached her hand out and quickly grabbed both tails and pulled them up into the sky.

"AHHHHHHH." Screams could be heard from Shaman and Elysia as they were lifted in the air by the tail. Wolfy had also woken up and got ready for battle as he thought it was an intruder.

After the screams Himeko dropped them from above the bed about 2 meters high.

"HAHAHAHA." Himeko screamed out laughing as the reaction was priceless.

"Grrrrr~, how dare you." Elysia was really grumpy as being woken up by tail pulling was not the nicest feeling.

"You should know to never touch a fox's tail, did my mother not teach you anything?" Shaman was not happy either as it was just like her hair was being pulled.

"Of course but I need you awake right away and it seems like it was a mission accomplished, so after you have breakfast, come to my room." Himeko then vanished in a ball of fire in the air and left the 2 grumpy fox girls to get ready for the training.
