Chapter 7: Butlers beginning
Nothing to say, just that hope you enjoy
I do not own Dark Souls or Re Zero
Inside Birsingr's room
Birsingr continues to stare at the ground as the sun rises, Birsingr is too deep in thought, suddenly a knock on the door snaps him out.
Birsingr looks at the door, "Enter" Birsingr expects to see one of the maids, but it turns out to be Emilia, with clothes in hand, and a small pouch on the clothes.
Birsingr stands up and looks at Emilia, "Lady Emilia, what may I be of serves?" Birsingr noticed that Emilia has a sad look on it. "Could it be from my outburst last night? I should have kept my emotions in check."
"I wanted to apologise for last night I stepped out of line." Birsingr apologises.
"Its alright Birsingr, I should have known that losing your friend would be difficult, I lost someone close to me a long time ago." Emilia says with a sad look on her face.
"You don't know, how much I have lost Emilia" he thinks coldly.
"Is that my butler uniform?" Birsingr changing the subject.
Emilia smiles "Yes, Rem customised it last night so it can fit you better." Emilia hands over the suit.
Birsingr notices the bag "What is this Emilia?"
"That is karnago powder, it is used to hide smells like your ashen smell" she explains.
"Eh, thank you Emilia?" Birsingr puts the suit on his bed, and the pouch on the desk and starts taking off his shirt.
As his top half of his body is exposed, Emilia couldn't help but blush at how well defined his muscles are, but at the same she couldn't help but be shocked at how many scares he has all over his body some of them shouldn't be survivable as well as burn marks on his back.
"How did you get those scars?" Emilia asks
"Let's just say, I have been through many battles." While putting on the shit
"Was your homeland that bad?" Emilia asks curiously.
Birsingr does up the buttons "It was living hell, death and misery all around, where hope is gone, and men go mad."
"As well as go hollow when they lose hope." he thinks the last part to himself.
Emilia has a look of shock; "how can a land be so dark and depraved of hope."
"It fell, my home now nothing but ashen ruin… destroyed by its own foolishness."
"I'm sorry, that's why your friends are no longer here, they where killed." Emilia comforts
Birsingr nods "But I don't feel sorry."
Emilia is shock at that statement "Why, don't you feel sorry."
Birsingr walks to the window, too see the garden view "They have found peace, while I continue my fate."
"But you can live peacefully now, ." Emilia sympathies with Birsingr.
Birsingr walks back to the bed and grabs the waist coat puts it on "Yes, I can live in peace now." He lies, he then picks up the coat and puts it on, but whispers "But peace is temporary."
Birsingr sees Emilia holding one more thing, a piece of string "What's that?"
"It's a bow tie, no butler can't be seen with out one." Emilia walks over and starts tying it up.
Birsingr didn't like the feeling on the neck, it felt like it's going to choke him, like one of those things covering his head.
Emilia finishes tying the bowtie and to see Birsingr all dressed up as a butler, she looks at him for a bit longer, but she couldn't hold it back any longer, and starts to giggle.
Birsingr looks at Emilia confused "What's so funny?"
Emilia stops laughing "Sorry but seeing you in a butler uniform is kind of odd, considering you wear armour all the time, making you look menacing."
Birsingr didn't say anything, but he looks at the mirror in his room, and for him, to wear this type of clothing without his armour, makes him feel vulnerable, "Perhaps I should put chain mail underneath it?"
Emilia then goes to the desk and grabs the bag, reaches in and is holding the powder.
Birsingr agrees, because he lives under them now, so he needs to keep his best appearance up.
"Rem and Ram are waiting at the entrance of the mansion for you, go see them when you are done, I'm sorry I have to go, but I have to study." Emilia closes the door her when she must go.
Birsingr stares at his reflection "What have I gotten myself into, I was once a slayer of beings who linked the fire, and as well as a God Slayer, reduced to the role of servant, but I'm doing this for Felt, so I need to tolerate it for a while. " Birsingr looks, away from his reflection, down at his hands, "but can I, even live with peace, when I have this curse?" he contemplates, "Nothing last forever."
Birsingr walks out of his room, while in thought "My age is gone, I'm a relic of a past long forgotten, I should have perished as the flames faded." He stops and looks at the sun, "But, for as long as the sun shall shine, it should shine a way, right Siegward." Birsingr than starts walking to the maids.
"But my biggest question, who was that person impersonated the firekeeper, and what sort of game does she have in store for me."
Mansion entrance
Rem and Ram are standing at the front of the door, waiting for Birsingr to arrive.
They hear foot steps coming down the stairs to see Birsingr, in his new uniform which really didn't suit him.
Birsingr fiddles with the collar because it feels like the bowtie, is strangling him.
"Mr. Ash, you are late, if you wish to be a butler to Lord Roswaal, you need to be on time" Ram warns
"Yes, Birsingr you must be on time, if you wish to serve Lord Roswaal." Rem chastises Birsingr, who is still fiddling with his bowtie.
"Hang on, I need to fix this." He says while, loosening his tie.
Rem and Ram sigh, with annoyance they can't believe they have to work with this unexperienced butler, who can't even fix his bowtie
Rem walks up to Birsingr "Hold still" she orders, Birsingr raises his eye brow, confused on what she is going to do
Rem loosens the bowtie, making Birsingr stop fiddling.
Birsingr is a bit irritated "I could have done that myself."
She ignores his bickering "First, we will give you a tour of the mansion, then we can start today's work." Rem explains.
"Yes please, follow us and we can show you around."
"Bitch." Birsingr mumbles low enough so the maids didn't hear him.
After that Rem and Ram lead Birsingr around the mansion, the first stop is the bath he was in yesterday.
"Mr. Ash, when you enter the bathroom, make sure to take off your shoes, as you will bring in more dirt." Ram explains
Birsingr did what he is told, and takes off his shoes, and he opens the door to see a room like the one he bathed in when he first arrived.
Birsingr exits the bathroom and puts on his shoes, "Now that you have had a look, lets us continue"
The kitchen is next, it is quite large, with shelves full of plates, and drawer's full of cutlery, the sides had barrels and boxes of food, and a table in the centre of the room, with various kinds of utensils.
Once he looked kitchen they let or the final area, which is the bathroom, Birsingr has never seen a bathroom before as he never needed one, as being an Unkindled, he doesn't need to do his business.
Birsingr walks over and opens the door, and what he sees is Beatrice tickling Puck, Birsingr frees for a second, remembering when she threw him out the window.
Beatrice suddenly stops tickling Puck to see the door is open, the two stares at each other, "My mistake, wrong room," he closes the door, he was about to leave but remembers something "Perhaps she will be gone when I open the door."
Birsingr opens the door again, to see a toilet, in the centre of the room, and is curious about this contraption.
"Why are you staring at the toilet?" Rem asks.
"I'm just curious what this is, this so-called toilet." He asked
"Didn't your home land have toilets" she asks, which he shakes his head to respond.
"Your homeland must be primitive, if it doesn't know what a toilet is" She insults.
"But we have other things to do, first we need to sweep the entire mansion floors, then we have to make lunch, then do the gardens, then, we need to clean the bathroom, and finally prepare dinner." Ram explains very quickly, as she quickly moves past Birsingr
Birsingr stops on the spot seeing Ram move fast, trying to process what Ram is saying, he shakes it off and quickly follows her.
Ram leads Birsingr to a vacant room, filled with boxes and barrels, and stacks full of wine.
"Sweep this room, then move on to the next one." Ram gives him a broom and moves on to her duties.
Birsingr enters the room, and decided to put the broom down, and takes a random bottle, to see the date, the date of this wine is 150 years old.
Birsingr stares at the bottle for a bit, then turns his attention to the rest around him. "If I was alive I probably would have drink all of it." He amuses himself.
Realising that he is supposed to be sweeping and not reading he grabs the broom and starts sweeping, as he is sweeping he could hear a crunching sound, Birsingr ignores it and continues sweeping, after the forth stroke the broom snaps in two because of his strength.
"Oh, for the love of Gwyn" Birsingr walks off, trying to find a new broom.
"Should I get the maids, nah, I'll find it myself"
As he is walking out, Rem is walking towards him, with a hand full of towels.
"Aren't you supposed to clean the room, Birsingr, you shouldn't be lazy on your first day." She says in monotone voice.
"My broom broke, so I was going to get a replacement." He explains.
"There is a closet, two doors down next to a vase, it should have a spare broom, so please don't break it this time, and please put the broken broom leaning on the wall, and I will put it in the bin when I have time."
Birsingr nods "Thank you, Lady Rem."
Birsingr, puts the broken broom pieces down, then makes his way to the closet, after passing two doors, he opens it to see a broom, rags folded, and some potions on the rags.
Birsingr grabs the broom, and takes it, but accidently knocking a vial over in the proses, but thankfully he has the reflexes and manages to catch it and places it back on the rags, he sighs satisfied "Thank Gwyn, I would have hated to know what they would have done, if I broke this."
He closes the door, and makes his way back, but he didn't realise that the broom further out then he thought it was, which made it hit the vase stand by accident, causing the vase to wobble, before hitting the ground.
CRASH
Birsingr stops as he hears the crash and he clenches his teeth "Son of a bitch" he swears, as he probably destroyed a priceless piece of art, "Crap, if I don't fix this, there will be hell to pay"
Rem and Ram make their way to the sound of the crash, as they arrive they see Birsingr putting some strange powder on it.
"What did you do Mr. Ash?" Ram asks with irritation.
Birsingr gives up, the vase is beyond the Repair Powders' capabilities, "I broke the vase when I was getting a new broom."
"You are very clumsy Mr. Ash" Ram insults
"Yes, Birsingr you are clumsy" Rem repeats.
"Alright, I'll be cleaning this up." Birsingr offers but is shot down.
"No, we will clean this up, you have other duties to attend to" Ram orders.
Birsingr gets up and walks away, annoyed.
He grabs the broom and get back to his job, of cleaning the room full of boxes.
When Birsingr left, Ram speaks "Did you see the powder Rem?"
"Yes sister, it is quite suspicious, we should give a piece to Lord Roswaal to see what it is."
After a short travel he finally makes his way back to the room, he enters it and starts sweeping up the dirt.
"I can't believe I broke that vase on my first day." He grumbles annoyingly, then realises something "I hope they didn't see me put powder on the vase.
After cleaning the whole mansion floor from top to bottom , Birsingr and the twins made their way to the kitchen
Once in the kitchen the twins point to the barrel next to the table "Now Mr. Ash, we need to prepare lunch, so you can start by the peeling potatoes, while I and Rem prepare the main course."
Birsingr nods as this will be a simple task, he picks up the knife and grabs a fresh potato, from the barrel.
Birsingr is observing Rem and Ram preparing the chicken while peeling as it is boring.
"Are you focusing on the peeling Mr. Ash" Ram asks
"Yes, I'm focusing on the potatoes" he says while on his 5th potato.
"Birsingr, could you cut the potatoes into smaller pieces and put them into that bowl next to you, when you are done peeling them." Rem requests.
"Of course, Lady Rem, I will put them in when I'm done."
Ram looks at Birsingr and is curious about something.
"Mr. Ash, besides being a mercenary, were you a cook as well?" Ram asks.
"No, I've never cook before why are you asking." He says raising an eye brow.
"I'm asking because your peeling the potatoes very fast, as only trained chefs can peel that fast." Ram replies.
Birsingr looks at the pile of now 10 peeled potatoes, now on his 11th "I'm just good with a blade, besides peeling potatoes is easier than peeling the skin of an animal." He lies, as he has never peeled skin off animals before as their where no living animals in Lothric.
Ram stares at him, before she continues with her preparations.
Birsingr than chops the potatoes into chunks, each chunk perfectly cut with no flaws.
He grabs the bowl and slides the potatoes into the bowl and gives them to Rem.
"You can go on a break while we finish the lunch preparations." Ram tells him.
Birsingr nods his head then goes out of the kitchen leaving the twins alone.
"Sister, Birsingr is quite suspicious, isn't he" Rem asks Ram.
"Yes Rem, he is trying to change the subject." She replies.
"We have to be careful, so that he doesn't suspect what we are after."
"Yes, we need to make sure Lord Roswaal, is happy with the information we get from him."
Birsingr is outside the mansion observing the sun sitting on a bench.
"Being a butler is so boring, I'm getting impatient because I can't fight anything, normally I would be surrounded by hollows ." He says to himself.
"This is age is very odd, no bonfires, no hollows, no creatures after my head every second, but what is curious who was that person who set me free, the firekeeper as I know is Felt her reincarnation and her descendant, so who ever she was, it can't be good." He says out loud to himself again.
"Speaking of Felt, I wonder how she is doing, I bet she is trying to escape Reinhard as I speak, but probably failed again." He muses the idea
As Birsingr is quietly looking at the sea of green, he suddenly feels a dark presence within the forest, he dismisses it "Probably, something I don't want to be involved with.
He hears a bell, thinking it is the maids summoning him, he makes his way back to the mansion
Deep into the forest, a man wearing a purple hood and a red eye in the centre, was spying on Birsingr on top of the tree lines, he decides to return the to report his findings.
"Is that him?" the other cloaked man said
"he is the Arch Bishop of Pride, there is no mistaking it." He says back
Birsingr is walking back after taking a break, but as he is making his way back to the kitchen, a voice appears behind him.
"Hey Birsingr." High pitch voice calls him.
Birsingr pauses for a moment and is twitching because of who is calling him.
He turns his head to the sound, "Yes Beatrice, what may I be of serves" he asks begrudgingly
"I need you for a second, I suppose." She demands.
Birsingr sighs, and takes a deep breath, "Whatever she wants, I have to deal with it sooner or later."
Birsingr follow Beatrice into the library "What is it that you want?" Beatrice is grabbing a few books, once she grabs a few she makes her way to Birsingr.
She gives Birsingr the books, which he grabs underneath.
Beatrice continues to add books, until he is holding a stack taller them him.
"Now hold those until I can find a new spot for those books." She says while smiling.
Birsingr figured out what she is planning she is trying to get a reaction out of him to get amusement from his suffering, "Stay calm Birsingr, she is trying to get to you,"
Beatrice sits down hoping to see his annoyance, but she frowns when she sees that he is not even bugging.
"Where would you like me to put these books Beatrice," Birsingr asks.
"You can put them next to me, for now Birsingr." She points to the floor in front of her.
Birsingr nods and walks over, and puts it down, "Is their anything else you would like me to do?"
"Hmph, you may leave, I suppose." She shoos him away.
Birsingr gives a mocking bow before leaving the little brat, he closes the door before she could respond to his mocking bow to her and make his way to the kitchen.
He finally arrives to see Rem and Ram with the chicken ready to be served.
"Excellent timing Mr. Ash take the chicken, and I will take the potatoes, and Rem takes the wine." Ram orders.
Birsingr take the chicken and follows Rem and Ram to the Dining Room.
Roswaal is sitting comfortably with Beatrice still a bit annoyed that she was humiliated, by a human no less
Emilia is sitting down waiting for her meal to arrive.
"So, how is our new butler doing?" Roswaal asks.
"Fine, I suppose, he does what he is told." Beatrice says with a fit.
"He is doing very well, I saw him, sweeping the mansion floors with no problems, but Rem and Ram did say he accidently broke a vase." Emilia adds
Roswaal smiles, "oh well, it wasn't valuable anyway."
The door opens with the twins, and Birsingr walking in with the chicken in hand.
Birsingr quickly places the chicken in the middle of the table, followed by Ram, who put the potatoes next to the chicken, and finally Rem with the wine."
Birsingr then moves behind Emilia waiting to be needed like how the twins stand behind Roswaal.
"Birsingr." Roswaal calls.
" Yes, Lord Roswaal." He says while rolling his eyes.
"I need to ask, how has it been so far?" Roswaal asks while leaning on the table.
Birsingr huffs "It has been good so far Lord Roswaal, the maids have been instructing me on how to do my work."
"Yes, Lord Roswaal we have been teaching Mr. Ash," Ram comments.
"Yes sir, we have been showing Birsingr how to work properly." Rem comments.
Roswaal is quite happy "Excellent, I'm so glad you are adjusting wonderfully." He then smells the air "It would seem you received the powder, good, that ash smell was putrid.
Birsingr grumbles, not liking he is called putrid.
"On to other news, it would seem that the elections are moving along fairly quickly, as it is almost time, for the gathering." Roswaal says.
Roswaal looks to Birsingr "Birsingr as an outsider what is your opinion?"
"If you ask me my Lord, this is stupid, you need might to lead your people." Birsingr inputs.
"So, your lands where ruled by those who were mighty, Birsingr." Roswaal asks, which Birsingr nods.
"So, is your Kingdom ruled by tyranny? " Emilia asks sad.
"Lady Emilia, no disrespect, but this world does not revolve around being nice, sometimes you need to be cruel to make things right." Birsingr says coldly.
Emilia looks away sad, "But still, not to care for others is quite sad."
"Let me ask you this, if a ruler doesn't show his might, then the other kingdoms will think he is weak, and is easy to step on, so one must be strong to keep his people safe." He explains.
Emilia nods understanding, why he has a cold outlook on this world.
"Thank you Birsingr for your opinion" Roswaal thanks Birsingr which he nods his head, "know we should eat before the food cold gets gold.
After the three of them finish eating, Rem and Ram and Birsingr, clean up the table, Birsingr taking the bulk of the dishes, back to the kitchen, leaving Emilia, Roswaal, and Beatrice alone in the dining room.
Roswaal looks to Emilia, "My what an interesting perspective that was, Birsingr's homeland is quite interesting , if the leaders are chosen by who is mightiest, I would dread if they become Emperor."
"What a stupid, idea that is a leader chosen by might alone, he probably be a bone head, if that's the case, then it deserves to be destroyed, I suppose." Beatrice says ignorantly
"Don't say that!" Emilia shouts as she looks at Beatrice angrily "He lost his home, and everyone he cared about, he has no place to call home, so it is understandable why is so cold, to him, fighting is all he knows, so we shouldn't be so cruel to him."
Beatrice looks to the side, not caring, because it is their fault that they were destroyed.
Suddenly Puck appears half asleep, "What's going on, yawn, I could hear shouting, about Birsingr's homeland."
"Well talks about it later." Emilia tells the spirit.
"We where talking about how, Birsingr's homeland is filled with nothing but idiots." Beatrice tells her fellow spirit.
While this is going on Roswaal is currently sitting quietly assessing the whole discussion of Birsingr's past "Who are you really Birsingr, the more I try to understand you, the more questions I have, well I'll just have to dig deeper to find out more." Roswaal smirks before stands up, "Excuse me, I must return to my study, to finish some research, so tata ladies." But before he leaves he whispers something into Beatrice's ears.
Emilia gets up "Excuse me, I must return back to my studies." Emilia walks away from Beatrice.
Beatrice know alone sits for a moment, before huffing and returns to the library with Puck in hand.
After the three of them where done cleaning the dishes, Birsingr and the twins went outside to do the gardening.
Ram looks to Birsingr "Mr. Ash please stand back and watch, while me and Rem and do the gardening, as you are not ready."
Birsingr rolls his eyes but does what he is told and stands back seeing the twins trimming the hedges and trees for about 30 minutes.
As he is standing, a lingering thought enters his mind "Those two are really underestimating my skills, but I don't cut plants, so I'll have to agree to their terms for now."
Birsingr continues to watch the maids do their work while the twins continue to tell him what to do and not to do.
Birsingr starting to get fed up of the maids telling him to sit there he decides to show them what skills he can do so he walks over to Rem. "I would like to have a go now please, as I am more than capable of cutting these plants."
Ram walks next to her sister "Rem, Mr. Ash is not ready to trim the hedges, he's to clumsily." She makes fun of Birsingr.
The Unkindled's eye twitches out of annoyance "I'm starting to regret working here if the twins give me so much shit with everything I do." He shouts mentally.
Rem nods "Of course sister he broke a vase on his first day." She agrees
"Technically the broom struck the vase not me." He defends himself.
"Very well, you can prove it by trimming the tree." Ram offers him the sheers.
Birsingr snatches it from her hands and makes his way to the one of the hedges once in front of the hedge he starts clipping the tree.
As Birsingr is clipping the tree the twins decided to talk.
"It would seem, that Mr. Ash got the karnago powder, because he doesn't smell like ash." Ram says.
"Yes sister, but Birsingr smells weird without the ashy smell he almost smells like a…" Rem could finish as aloud noise stops her.
They hear a loud crash behind them they turn to see the tree that Birsingr was trimming on the ground, they realised that the tumbled was a whole tree down with just sheers."
Ram looks at Birsingr with annoyance "Mr. Ash you are a horrible gardener." She insults-.
Rem has a look of irritation "Birsingr, you have very poor skills, you should never garden again." Rem recommends.
Birsingr takes a deep breath, he is good at using diverse type of weapons and not used to making art.
Birsingr walks back to the twins "Again accident" he says sarcastically, after that he walks off creating distance away from the twins.
"We need to report his strength to Lord Roswaal" Ram tells her sister, to which Rem nods her head, not saying anything.
After that for the last task of the day. Birsingr is now in the bathing-room his jacket is off leaving his waistcoat and his white shirt and bowtie his trousers rolled up above his knees.
Birsingr is on his knees with an irritated look on his face while scrubbing the floor, "I can't believe they left me alone, scrubbing the whole bathing-room all by myself, just because I cut down the tree." he smirks "heh, worth it."
Has he been scrubbing the floors he hears the door opening he stops scrubbing and looks to see Emilia walking into the bathing-room with her shoes off.
Birsingr stops scrubbing and puts the brush in the bucket of water and gets up seeing what Emilia wants.
"Do you require the bathing-room if so give me 5 minutes and I should be done by then." The Ashen One explains.
Emilia shakes her head "I just came in to check up on you and tell you that you are free tonight as Rem and Ram can handle dinner preparations."
The Unkindled looks at Emilia with curiosity "Why did the maids give me the evening off especially on my first day?"
"Well Ram said 'Mr. Ash destroyed a vase and cut a tree in half I cannot risk him destroying the silverware, so he can have the night off'" Emilia repeats what Ram told her.
He could feel his eye twitch out of annoyance again. "Very well thank you or letting me know Emilia I will be done and head back to my room."
Emilia smiles and walks off leaving the Slayer of Lords alone in the bathing-room.
He is making his way back to his room after he finishes his duties.
Once in his room he sits on his bed and breaths a sigh of relief "Those maids have been driving me up the wall all day."
Suddenly an idea pops into his head "How about I go out and train take my stress out on something like on some poor trees or some of those Mabeast I fought before."
The Ashen One gets up and looks outside the window to see the sun going down. He decides to wait till it gets darker so that way when he leaves most of the house hold should be asleep by then and since he doesn't need sleep it is the perfect opportunity to slip out.
He takes a chair from the desk and places it in front of the window, he sits down and waits.
Once the moon appears in the sky, Birsingr knows it time to go.
He gets up from the chair but before he goes to the door takes out the Crystal Sage's staff and casts the spell Spook to muffle his foot noises.
He opens the door and peaks through it checking left and right to see if the coast is clear, once he determines that it is clear he exits the room and quietly closes the door.
Walking in the mansion at night feels like walking through Lothric Castle heck Birsingr expects some knights to come around the corner and try and take his head off but it's highly unlikely that clown has any killer knight armour that comes alive.
He finally reaches the mansion's entrance door he opens it and walks out.
After he left the mansion two particular maids entered his room with pieces of black armour with a hood and cloak, and once they entered Birsingr's room it is empty.
"Sister, it would seem our Butler has left the mansion." Rem tells Ram.
"Yes, we should go find him and make sure he is not up to no good."
Rem and Ram places the armour parts on the bed and quickly leave the room and try and find the clumsy butler.
Birsingr is trudging in the forest keeping his guard up as those accursed beats could jump out anytime and try and rip his head off, but it is more likely that he would cut them in half before they can reach him.
"Now where would I go to train?" Birsingr looks around for a good spot.
As he looks around he then hears running water thinking it might make a good spot.
He makes his way to the location of the sound and when he arrives he is satisfied on how it looks.
The area is a large opening with the back of a mountain where the source of the river begins trees surrounding the area, pebbles lay the ground and rocks at the entrance of the river.
Birsingr walks to the centre of the field and starts swinging so that he can get a feel of the sword.
He hops back, before running forward and slamming the sword into the ground leaving an imprint of the slice, so he could feel the strength of the impact.
He then does vertical slash and cuts the air.
And finally, he readies the sword to his side pointing it diagonally, he pauses for a second before crouching down and leaping forward doing a cartwheel spin and slamming the sword into the earth while crouching.
He gets up and prepares to do it again, but he can feel six individual souls all of them quite small.
"Come on out I know you're there."
Suddenly six children come out from behind the bushes.
The first one is young boy with brown hair which is combed backwards, he is wearing a black shirt with a sleeveless jacket with fur lining on the sleeve and bottom of the jacket.
The second one is also a boy with short brown hair and snot coming out of his nose, he is wearing only brown trousers and a red scarf.
The third one is another boy, but he was a bit larger then the other two he has a shaved head and is wearing a green shirt and a green sleeveless jack with frills coming off the sleeve and bottom of the jacket
The fourth one is a girl with orange median length hair and a red a ribbon tied to her hair, she is wearing a white blouse with a yellow jacket tied with a red bow.
The fifth one has spikey hair that is pointing upwards, wearing a red shirt with a sleeveless jacket but unlike the first the fur lining is on the centre side of the jacket.
And the final one is another girl with almond colour hair in the style of a pig tail and she is wearing a blue shirt with a pink jacket.
Birsingr looks at the children and wonders what they are doing out here specifically all the way out here.
"Who and why are you doing here?" Birsingr asks.
The boy with the comb back steps forward "I'm Cain."
The large one steps forward "I'm Mild"
The boy with the spikey hair takes a step forward "I'm Dine"
The girl with the red bow steps forward nervously "I… I'm Petra."
The pig tail girl steps forward "I'm Meina."
The boy with the short hair walks out "I'm Lucas."
"And why are you here?" he asks.
"We heard loud noises coming from the forest and we were curious on what was making that noise" Dine answers the question.
Birsingr facepalms "I should have checked the area more thoroughly."
"You know Mister, those moves where awesome the way you jumped was cool and slamming it in the ground was impressive." Lucas complements
Birsingr starts to ignore them and continue with his training, but the kids would not leave him alone as they start to swarm him.
Birsingr continues to slice the air.
Lucas suddenly had an idea he took the stick he had and decides to throw it at the Ashen One. With all his might he chucks it at Birsingr.
Birsingr could feel something coming towards him, with reflex that the kids couldn't see he slices the stick in half with his abyss sword, which was a big mistake.
All the kids look in awe at the speed in which Birsingr use to slice something so easily.
Birsingr has a look of dread on his face "Oh no." he mumbles
"Hey Mister, could you train me" Dine requests.
"Yeah train me to, so I can be as strong as you" Cain also request.
"Please Lord Gwyn end my suffering." Birsingr prays to the gods.
Far from the spot where Birsingr is, Rem and Ram are studying at just what happen.
If they had any more reason to suspect Birsingr then the way he uses that sword, and the skills he had where more than enough to put them on edge because if he decides to turn against them, they might have a tough time fighting him if the time comes.
They quickly turn around and make their way back to the mansion to inform Roswaal of the new development on their inexperienced butler.
On the other side of the forest multiple men in hoods are also spying on Birsingr.
