"Oi kid!" 

"YOU DID IT!"

As much as everyone wanted to celebrate as they reached out to her to celebrate their survival against the Ogre.
Lit unfortunately cried internally in her mind. (STOP SHAKING ME!)
But it was too late.

She instantly spewed her guts as all the food she ate this morning caused everyone to frown.
The worst one who suffered the most was the blond knight as her puke got inside his armor.

...

"So... your telling me you dreamn't of us getting massacred by that ogre?"

"Not only you guys, but myself as well.
My magic did literally nothing against it."

Lit was given a hot cup of warm sweet drink that tasted like milk as she savoured the flavour in her tongue.
We are currently camped outside after it got dark, we rode as far as possible from that ferocious ogre.

To the extent that the wheel of our carriage finally broke down due to how the burden of our speed.
At that time we decided to camp nearby, while checking the map and scouting if we were close to the nearby village or town.

"You don't need to worry about the broken wheel though..."

Of course... I used [Bone Craft] to recreate a copy of broken carriage wheels.
After a few multiple failures it finally latched on properly without a hike.

"So... is it really made out of bones?"

Lit gazed at the boy who asked such a question as others too became curious as their gaze turned to me.

"Technically, it's not really made of any bones from any living being so rest assured it's not sinister or anything.
But more of a creation of my own magic." Lit was feeling pressured by their gaze.

"So... in a way, it is bones.
But made out of magic." She roughly explains.

Then the red haired noble boy came out.

"It seems like its unique magic.
I've seen other magician but never someone like you, Lit."

"I guess so..." Lit scratched her head and then asked.

"Oh right, i forgot to ask your name.
I was wondering why I was having a hard time calling your name."

"It's Roel, Roel Valorian."

Her eyes then turned to the other boy who was skinny yet curious.
His hair that used to be dirty that looked black wasn't so dirty anymore.

It had been washed and was now grey white.

New clothes bought from the city made him look more approachable.
In a sense, Lit thought he had made a bit of improvement as his thin arms and face were slowly getting some fat.
His bangs still hid his eyes but she wasn't that curious to peer closer and see.

"Um... what is it?" he asked.

"When are you going to tell me your name?" she bluntly said while her eyes dug into him like daggers.

 "Uhm... um... its..." 

"Trash..."

"That's my name."

The surrounding suddenly became dark and depressing.
As Lit expression froze.

(I called my sword trash because it is trash, for me anyways.
Now I see a young boy who was destined to be a slave who had the name TRASH.
Somebody, save this poor soul!)

"I don't like it." Lit retorted to his name and firmly said.

"I'm never calling you that name." Lit was completely against it.

Even Roel couldn't help but frown.
"I think... you should change your name to a more appropriate one."

"But...
That's what my father called me..."

"What about your mother?" Roel asked

He shook his head and said. "I can't remember anymore." once more the air became depressing.

(This boy is depressing as hell!
Somebody do something!)

Finally the one who rescued this situation was Ralph.

"Oi, Oi...
You shouldn't talk like that kid.
We just survived against an ogre! A FREAKING OGRE!

You saw how big, scary and terrifying that thing was!
Cherish your life alittle bit, you now have a good story to tell!
Miss.Lit here worked hard just so you could continue breathing with a new life you know!"

The Air turned festive again as he said those words.

Lit gave him a thumbs up with a smile, as he replied the same way in turn.

But after a short while...
The this depressing boy then turned to me and said with flushed cheeks and red ears.
He then raised his head and came closer to me as I saw his radiant pink puppy eyes as he smiled like the sun.

"Uhhh uhm... thank you very much!" 

Lit felt a sudden sensation as she saw it she quickly hid herself inside her hoodie.

(Huh? why is my heart beating so fast?
What is this? Am I going crazy?)

The others who saw her cheeks grew flushed red reaching to her ears.
Began to grin and smile at her expression.

"Ah... youth..." Ralph said while gazing at the scenery in front of him. 

...

...

...

Meanwhile as Lydia and Ralph were gathering firewood.

"Now that i think about it...
Why hasn't the girls of the group approached Litty?" when Ralph asked this question to Lydia.

Lydia then kindly explained.

"Ah... that's because, they didn't know what to say her...

In the distance the girls of the group usually just observed lit while her hood is on.
Those who tried to approach her, did talk to her a few times.
However..." Lydia then whispered to his ears.

"They simply couldn't figure out how to talk to her.
Since she act's and speaks like a boy..." 

Ralph who heard her words could only nod his head.
Her posture and movement were rough and she sometimes hit's his back or threaten him.
It's not surprising that the girls would be scared of Lit who might lash back at them like how she does to Ralph.

"After they saw how she interact with you,
They became a bit distant or couldn't find a way to communicate properly without disturbing her.
Hence they decided to leave it alone and just watch her from afar."

"I see... so they didn't want to bother her." Lydia nodded.

"Lit is also at fault for not interacting with them.
She seems closer with the boy's more...
However, whenever the girls did converse...
She appears to be looking a bit too shy or confused and unable to say much.

We also invited to bathe with us but she refused."

"So basically, Lit and girls had some kind awkward circumstances between them."

"Very much so... that I'm feeling a bit concerned." Lydia confessed.

But Ralph thought differently.
"I don't think that's necessary, she's quite a strong kid.
Most children her age wet their beds when they have terrifying nightmares.
But Lit acted more maturely to keep her own thoughts while conveying it to people she believe who could help.

We can't call her as ordinary either like the young girls who are much more powerless than her.
After all, she didn't only free us but gave us a chance to start a new future without chains wrapped around our ankles."

Lydia couldn't help but gently smile at Ralph while grinning.

"Your like a father who is watching his kid grow up."

Ralph expression froze at the thought.

"No... it's just..." his ears and cheek blushed red as he tried to hide his embarassment but Lydia went ahead as the two returned to the camp.

...

...

...

After the celebration of our escape.
Everyone began to discuss what they would do after they reach our destination.
Since I had more time to spare I called out to check the things I still had...

"Inventory..."

[Bones: 9, 99, 994, 231]

The slot where diamond, gold, silver and bronze...
The currency of Lost world had turned to bones.

I checked the items and pressed it with options around it.

[Move]
[Use]
[Store]
[Remove]

"Storage."

[Error: Require's you to be in safe-zone to activate.]

what's the point of the store button if I can't use it!

I forgot to check if the storage still works in the city!
I should have done it in Taire...

The limit of bones I could store was 999 million.
My storage still had more to spare.
Technically such an amount is already limitless for me.

Not like it would run out considering I only use single digit/double digit more often than four digits.
But if the storage does still work, I want to see if my old items there still existed inside it.

I deeply sighed.

Aside from that...

[Bone Craft] despite the stupid [Mana cost = 0%] Below it which is a complete and utter lie.
The consequences of creating too big of an object looks like it chunked a huge part of my mana that it dragged my mana to Zero.

My mind stat is already three freaking digits! THREE FREAKING DIGITS.
That alone means my mana had reached a point that I can repeatedly use skills for 12 hours without stopping.
Then why?? why did I collapse from that?

So far, I couldn't find my MP or HP stat since the system is broken.
But the fact I suffered from mana loss that left me vulnerable is a huge issue.

(This skill is too high risk when fighting bosses.)

I can't rely on it too much.
As a result I told myself that recklessly using such an ability was too costly.

But while I was infuriated...
I checked the Mana cost again...

[0%]

Does that mean...

No way...

It chunks my mana by PERCENTAGE!? WHAT THE HECK!

Out of the many skill I have seen.
[Soul Strike] costs a flat 100 on its side.
While [Bone Sacrifice] had zero cost.

So I never paid attention to it.

But for the first time...
I never imagine such an important detail would be missed.

That means the bigger it is the more % it eats my mana.
Considering how [Bone Boulder] was able to be produced despite probably having 1-5% mana at the time.
Let's try and avoid creating giant walls or mega structure next time.

Regardless, this skill saved my arse and everyone in this trip.

While I was in deep thought.

"Litty..." my head turned and saw Lydia with a few girls behind her.

"The girls noticed that you've been wearing the same clothes for quiet a long time..."

"Hmhm?"

"And... they wanted to offer these clothes to you."

It was a pretty pink one piece dress worn by commoners.
Technically for girls, just by looking at it is something I can obviusly tell that its cute.
But...

"It's size is a bit..."

"Big? it's fine..." When lydia said such words.

"Why not give me your clothes so we can wash them.
You can wear these for now..."

The girls behind her had eyes that looked curiously at me.

I sighed and said.

"There's no need."

"Hand it to me."

As I said such words, I placed it in my inventory as it vanished.

"Eh? what did you..."

Then I pressed [Equip]

My original clothes dissapeared and before I knew it, I was now wearing the one piece dress as she asked me to...
As for my original clothes it became a part of my inventory.

Tagged as [Little One's Clothing (Set)]

As I checked the details of the clothes for details using [Analyze] these specific skills poped up.

[Immune to Dirt][Self-repair][Immunity to All Elements][The Little Ones True Cloth.]
[Temperature control] [Refreshing] [Weightless] [Cute] [Cool] [Adaptive]

[The Little One's cloth...
It's both cute and cool.
Very attractive for all ages.]

Wow... but then... I saw its defence.

[Defence - 0]

It's just bloody aesthetics!
At least give me a some actual protection or something!

I soon snapped out of my frustration as my brow twitched.

"What about your clothes?" when lydia asked such a question I shook my head.

"There's no need.
It's always clean."

"Huh?"

"It doesn't get dirt, grime or even stains.
It's quite special...
I don't know where it came from...
But it's seems to be special clothing that was specially made for me."

I soon removed it from my inventory and showed it to her.

"Then... may I check it."

"Go ahead."

*Sniff* *Sniff*

(Uhh... miss lydia isn't that a bit too perverted?)

But Lydia was showing surprise.

"You hadn't washed it?"

"Nope." I honestly answered

"It's... quite amazing.
There isn't a single trace of your scent on it!"

(Oi, miss lydia... are you saying I reek.) while I wanted to retort to her words, I held my tongue.

"But... now that I look at you."

"You look more charming in those clothes."

"Ahaha thanks for the compliment..."
(I can't see myself since there is no mirror, but I can imagine it.)

I soon reached out to my own clothing in her hand as I dragged it back into my inventory.
As it dissapeared in her hands.
Then I equipped it back...

"As much as I like the one piece,
I prefer using this for now..."

"Eeeeh how come!" 

My eyes turns to the boys behind them who was peeking,
I noticed their gaze as it was giving me the creeps.
They soon returned to whatever they were doing...

"Because I find these clothes much more comfortable to wear.
I'll probably wear the one piece when I find myself desiring a new look."

But the reason why I liked these clothes more...
Is because of its appearance.

Aside from being soft, silky and completely weightless.

It's actually something special that I would like to continue using...

Until I find better protective clothes that actually shields me from harm.
I also quickly realized the difference between this cloth and the one piece and I realized.

(These clothes are way too comfortable that I can't wrapped my head around it.)

...

...

...

And so... after a day of rest we went on our way once again.
With bone wheels the carriage was moving at quite a decent pace without much issue.

"Those wheels you've made kiddo are surprisingly sturdy, kid." the beast master said.

(They are made out of bones.) I thought.

"Still... but why bones?" when the beast master asked.

"Why not bones?" Lit asked.

"Right? we shouldn't be complaining considering you saved our lives.
Though, others might think your magic is sinister and uses the illegal art of necromancy or something...
It's not necromancy is it?" when the beast master asked her with worry.

"Ahaha... of course not." Lit denied it she was now worried that the country will see her as a criminal.

"Ahahaha!" the Beast master laughed with her as they continued their laugh.

"Haa..." as the two calmed down they gazed at the bright sky.
The bristling wind tickled around their skin as their carriage comfortably moved onwards.
Their buttocks ached yet they were smiles on their faces.

Morale was high after their tight escape from a ferocious beast.

As Lit soon saw a town from a distance.

"Welcome to the Town of Palia."

Lit then asked Ralph who was calmly sitting in the carriage "So... what's so special about the town of Palia?"

"Hm? the meat, milk and women."

"So... this time its women this time?" when Lit asked this question.

"Yup, there's alot of brothels around here.
Though, that's what the broker in Taire told me.
There isn't anything special aside from the mercenaries keeping guard of this place against bandits and monsters.
But other than that there's-"

We soon saw a pile of literred corpses of greenskins.

"Green skins again and why does it has to be orcs this time." Lit showed a really tired expression as she saw the mess.

"You don't have to worry, your not the one fighting them, this time." when Ralph said these words.
I felt a bit relieved yet can't help that such words is just air.

As we saw a guard in the distance waving at us they soon started their inspection on our carriage.

"So... you guys are heading to the capital city of Kalis huh?
Well it's definitely a good idea but..."

"But what?"

"The orc's are currently mobilizing around those areas.
If you don't mind encountering an army of them on the way, I advise you remain here for now."

"Your joking us right!?" the beast master complained.

"We just got through an ogre and now your telling us, hordes of orc's are going around this place?"

"Hey wait? Ogre?" when the gate guard asked.

We soon explained what happened at the bridge.

"Bloody hell!
If what you say is true then this side of the city might also be in trouble!"

"What do you mean this side?"

"The North east and North west of the city is constantly under attack by Orc's.
This area is calm because it's their encampment is positioned too far from this area.
You folk's didn't lure the ogre here did ya?"

We shook our heads.

"Our magician managed to repel it...
Though, we were focused on escaping." When one of the knights spoke up.

"Then... can your magician lend us a hand.
Our forces right now is a bit troubled right now.
That we are trying to get more help in our fold anyway we can..." everyone became uneasy as he said those words

Then lit spoke up, "What kind of orc's are we dealing with?"

When she asked that question. "Oi... lit." ralph tapped her shoulders with concern.
But the guard saw her and frowned.

"Hm? kid, don't butt in adult conversation." The guard said in annoyance.

Lit could only frown as she shrugged.

"But if you guys are asking about it, then we are dealing with only orc warriors and fighters.
Fortunately, they didn't have mages but there are a few archers on the back as well.
The mercenaries managed to repel them a few times but it wasn't without losses."

Lit could only thought, (These guys are having trouble with just some orc's?)

"Don't you guys have magician around to deal with them?" when Lit asked this question.

"We did! but those archers managed to kill our best sorcerer in an ambush.
Now we are left with only novices who can just take down a few orcs and becomes utterly useless afterwards."

"Woah... harsh." Lit snickered.

She then thought what kind of magician was that weak...
(Considering this world couldn't allocate Mind stat for optimization.
It's not surprising they would be weaker here in comparison to the game.)

"Buh-huh? didn't I told you kid to not meddle in this conversaion." But Lit turned her head away while grinning at him.

But one of Roel's knights stepped forward and said.

"Um...
Pardon me, sir. but this child you speak of...
Is the one who actually repelled the ogre.
Despite her appearance's she's quite strong for her age."

"Hah?" he was dumbfounded.

With Lit waving her boney staff she then said with a smirk and a cute voice.

"Don't waste your breath. Sir.Knight.
He won't believe it, even if you tell that to him.
I don't really feel like helping right now after facing after facing off with that ogre."

"Aside from that, we should find a place to stay since we just arrived!
It would probably be nice to find some good food and nice bed,
while we stuck here for a while... I'll decide after that."

Ralph couldn't help but give her a wry smile. "This gal has her priorities right."

Everyone was tired from sleeping outdoors and constantly moving from their rickety carriage.
They couldn't help but nod.
