House Isekai ARR Masterlist Here

Time: The week between Parts 3 and 4

The ODST's, Duvalie, and Raelyn try to grow accustomed to this new world they've been thrown in, living in Abyss...

----

[The Forgotten - Fire Emblem: Three Houses OST]

Raelyn's armor's echoed throughout the stone halls as he walked.

Everyone he passed by looked at him in awe, seeing an 8ft armored demigod stroll past them alarmingly quickly for someone his size.

Raelyn paid them no mind. It made sense they would stare, never having seen an Angel of the Emperor before.

Raelyn turned the corner to the open market of Abyss. It was packed with activity, Monastery Guards working together with the people that had been living down here.

Many merchants were peddling their wares to anyone who would take a second to listen as children ran by giggling, narrowly hitting several of the people walking.

Scanning the crowd, Raelyn's visor identified no threat.

None that he could tell, anyway.

(Buck) "Damn, you sure stick out like a sore thumb."

Raelyn's helmet slightly turned to the direction Buck was coming from, which was out of the market crowd to his right.

(Raelyn) "I have finished my sweep of the area, Sergeant."

(Buck) "Anything interesting, big guy?"

(Raelyn) "Hm. There is a bridge that was partially broken, but been repaired with glowing crystal. Other than that, there was nothing but dark alleyways. I suggest we stay clear of them."

(Buck) "Well, guess that finishes our job. Let me call my boys back."

Buck reached for his helmet's comm-piece and began recalling his squad.

Raelyn meanwhile looked back at the crowd and saw Duvalie talking with some of Abyss's guards near the bridge.

Duvalie shrugged and she noticed Raelyn and Buck, making her way toward them.

(Duvalie) "They said no one's allowed to pass that bridge. Too dangerous or whatever. I sincerely doubt anything is scarier than us down here."

(Raelyn) "Overconfidence can quickly lead to one's downfall, Duvalie."

(Duvalie) "Psh, whatever."

(Buck) "Roger. See you there."

Buck turned to the two and motioned his head to follow him.

(Buck) "Mickey told me our resting quarter's good to go."

(Duvalie) "Good, can't stand sleeping near all those kids. Everyone does the exact same thing and stares at us! I at least look normal compared to you all!"

(Buck) "And that mouth of yours is anything but normal."

(Duvalie) "Excuse me?!"

(Raelyn) "If your goal is to not draw attention to yourself, I do not believe provoking everyone who seems to slight you-"

(Duvalie) "Cause people like this jackass start it!"

(Buck) "Hoo boy, you'll be a great roommate."

The three walked down another hallway, their armor clinking giving their position away in the echoing halls.

(Duvalie) "Speaking of, are you ever going to take that thing off?"

Raelyn looked at Duvalie, then to Buck.

(Duvalie) "Yes, I'm talking to you, Amuto."

(Raelyn) "Not without the assistant of servitors and a Tech-Priest. The way this armor is designed prevents me from taking off anything besides my helmet."

(Buck) "How the hell do you sleep in that thing?"

(Raelyn) "By laying against the wall. Normally I would be concerned about my power pack, but it seems to not have drained in the slightest these past few days."

Buck checked his helmet's HUD and realized something similar was happening.

(Buck) "...Weird. Gonna have to check our equipment later."

Buck slowed down so he could walk alongside Duvalie and Raelyn.

(Buck) "How 'bout you, Duvie?"

(Duvalie) "Don't call me that. And unlike you, this armor is conventional. It isn't equipped with any technology."

Even though he was wearing a helmet, Duvalie could tell he furrowed his brow in confusion.

(Buck) "Really? Then how the hell do you go so fast?"

(Duvalie) "Hah, jealous? You should be! I was trained by Arianrhod herself!"

(Buck) "So this master of yours, she can go crazy freakin' fast too?"

(Duvalie) "All of the Knights of Stahlritter can! I am the leader of this elite unit as well, so don't you doubt me, soldier boy!"

(Buck) "...Didn't say I did but alright."

(Raelyn) "They sound impressive."

(Duvalie) "Because we are! Especially my lord!"

The two noticed Duvalie puffed out her chest in pride, clearly having such fondness for her master and unit.

Buck could understand that to some degree. He was proud of his squad but he wasn't sure if he'd boast about his training like she would.

Raelyn understood better than possibly anyone in House Isekai.

His Battle-Brothers were a terrifying force to meet on the field and he took pride with them. Duvalie obviously felt the same way about her team.

Finally reaching their room, Buck opened the door and saw his team with their helmets off, taking in their surroundings.

(Dutch) "Place is a little too open for my liking."

(Duvalie) "A classroom?"

(Mickey) "Certainly looks like it. The books in here appear to be related to the history of this land, magic spells too."

(Romeo) "Sounds uh....real fascinating that does."

Romeo rolled his eyes and went to check his sniper rifle.

Buck took off his helmet and joined his squad in checking their equipment.

Raelyn also took off his helmet and went to a corner, checking his belongings.

Duvalie leaned against the wall and slowly slid down, being able to somewhat rest.

Until a knock came at the door.

Dutch opened it and found a guard with a small box.

(Guard) "Food from the mess hall. Courtesy of our boss."

(Dutch) "Well, tell the big man thanks."

Nodding, the guard handed him the food and left.

Dutch put their meal on a crate and opened it up.

It was an assortment of bread, meats, and some cheese. It looked well maintained and the meat appeared to be freshly cooked.

(Buck) "Huh, that doesn't look half bad."

(Romeo) "Welp, I'm not one to say no to free food."

(Mickey) "You two eating?"

(Duvalie) "...Sure."

(Raelyn) "My thanks."

The ODST's grabbed themselves moderately sized portions while Duvalie and Raelyn grabbed barely anything.

(Buck) "You not hungry or something?"

(Duvalie) "I'm trying to watch what I eat."

Everyone raised an eyebrow looking at her.

(Romeo) "If anything you look like you need a burger or two."

(Duvalie) "Shut it."

(Dutch) "How 'bout you Amuto? Big guys like us need to eat. Though, think you need like 4 of these to even be satisfied."

(Raelyn) "Astartes metabolism is far higher than that of a normal human. This will suffice."

Shrugging, everyone continued to eat in a somewhat comfortable silence.

(Everyone) "..."

(Mickey) "Well this silence over the coming months is going to be pleasant."

(Romeo) "We finally got miss loudmouth over there quiet and you wanna break it?"

(Duvalie) "That's rich coming from a smartass like yourself."

(Buck) "Jesus, what are we, high schoolers? Shut it down both of you. And Mickey?"

(Mickey) "Yeah?"

(Buck) "Ya need to learn how to shut your freakin' mouth."

Dutch chuckled quietly continuing to eat.

Raelyn shrugged and remained silent, watching everyone's bickering go back and forth.

He was quite curious to see how this would continue in the coming months...
