Behind The Helmet

Chapter 11:Big Bro Slayer

*Sister Lily comes around the corner to see Slayer sutting in the floor with the kids climbing him like a tree*

Sister Lily:Did you all have fun?

Aruru:Yeah Big Brother is strong!

Sister Lily:Big Brother?!

Hollo:Yeah. Big Brother!*Points to Slayer*

Slayer:Its fine. I don't mind it.

Sister Lily:Care to join us for dinner? Its not much but we try.

Slayer:Pot potatoes huh? Its been awhile.

Sister Lily:You've had them before?

Slayer:Yeah...A very long time ago.

Noelle:Pot..Potatoes??

Slayer:They taste great but dry your mouth out like no tomorrow. But they are a very versatile crop.

Noelle:Alright..ill have some too.

*The two knights sit down at the table with the church. After the church blesses the food they dig in.*

Father Orsi:Question Slayer sir?

Slayer:Yes?

Father Orsi:How are you supposed to eat with that helmet on?

Slayer:Oh..*Slightly lift his visor up for food* I can adjust the visor. I usually do it just like this when around people. Its just enough for me to eat.

Father Orsi:Why hide your face?

Slayer:I have my reason. Plus I don't think any of you are ready for that yet.

Sister Lily:I see. Well eat to your hearts content.

Noelle:*In a dry voice* You weren't kidding..these things do dry out your mouth.*Drinks water*

Everyone:*Starts to laugh as Noelle joins in too*

Noelle:But they do taste pretty good.

Slayer:See commener food aint all that bad miss royal.

Father Orsi:WAIT ROYALTY?!?!?

Slayer:Yeah why? She doesn't care for the whole looming down on peasants.

Father Orsi:Still Slayer you should have said something before hand!

Slayer:She said she was when I save the village a year ago.

Sister Lily:Forgive his panicked state. He is getting quite old.

Father Orsi:HEY IM NOT THAT OLD YA KNOW!

Noelle:*Laughs* Its fine honestly. I don't mind at all. Its refreshing from the royal life. I actually prefer this way of life along with royal side as well.

Slayer:Well to be fair I kinda forced you to get used to it.

Noelle:And I'm glad. Thank you Slayer!

Slayer:Your welcome??

Noelle:Man you can't take a compliment.

*Eveyone laughs and continues eating*

*Later Noelle wakes to find herself in the same situation from the other night but feel that something is off*

Noelle:*In her head* Calm down Noelle. You know it was because of the lack of space. Plus he is actually asleep this time. What time is it?

*She looks at the grandfather clock*

Noelle:*In her head*It's three o'clock in the morning?!

*Slayer wiggled a bit seemingly adjusting himself*

Noelle:*In her head*Is he not comfy on this massive bed?

*Noelle starts to hear more breathing towards Slayer*

Noelle:*In her head*What the?

*Noelle sits up to find that Aruru and Hollo are cuddling with Slayer*

Noelle:*Immediately starts to smile from the scene before her* Awww.

*Noelle slwoly fall back asleep but when she wakes up she wakes to the interior of her and Slayer's room*

Noelle:*Grogy voice* Huh? When did I get back here?

Acier:About time you wake up.

Noelle:Oh hey mom. When did I get here?

Acier:It was around ten o'clock.

Noelle:Ten?!

Acier:Yeah. Slayer had carried you all the way here.

Noelle:Cause of course he did.*Sighs*

Acier:What is it sweetie?

Noelle:*Starts to remember yesterday at Hage* If only you guys had seen what Slayer did.

Acier:What did he do?

Noelle:You know Hage Village right?

Acier:Yeah. The place Asta is from.

Noelle:Well Slayer became a big brother of three.

Acier:What really?!

Noelle:Yeah.

Acier:Speaking of Hage tonight for dinner they are coming over at Slayer's request.

Noelle:Really!?

Acier:Yep.

Noelle:I'll get ready for today then.

Acier:Same here but remember it is only twelve.

Noelle:Right. Also thanks for waking me up mom.

Acier:No problem sweetie.

Noelle:Where's Asta anyways?

Acier:Training. Why?

Noelle:Just wanted to know...

Acier:Still can't get over him?

Noelle:*In a sad tone* Yeah..It just bums me out a little that we dated but I still haven't had a first kiss and i wanted it to be Asta but...We were close too as well but he would pull away every time.

Acier:He probably wasn't completely confident in his kissing skills or wasn't comfortable.

Noelle:I guess...I should probably go at least check on him see how he's doing.

Acier:Thats fine. He is your squadmate after all. So yeah go check on him.

*Acier leaves while Noelle gets up,dressed, and heads outside to find Asta*

Yami:So Slayer.

Slayer:*Helping Charmy with cooking* Yes sir?

Yami:When the he'll did you become so social and WHEN THE HELL DID YOU LEARN TO COOK!?!?

Slayer:Well before joining I lived by myself in the wild and for the social thing I uhh..i don't know why either.

Yami:Whatever floats your boat.

Charmy:Slayer-kun could you pass me the Garlic!

Slayer:Here you are Miz Charmy.

Charmy:Thank you!

*With Noelle*

Noelle-Hey Asta..

Asta:Hey.
