Shield Hero With Barrier Magic

(After Ren went to the Mirso Village)

(Third Person's POV)

And Hiro sent Ren for the first roasting. Now, he decided to go to Gaelion and teleport him back to Riyute. And on the road to mountain, they stopped in a place and Hiro confirmed if there aren't any strangers around.

Hiro: "Rose, You can come out !!"

The next moment, Rose appeared in her Shadow Form. By the way, Rose didn't know what happened on the mountain. After Hiro revealed that the village is lying, he ordered Rose to stay back in Mirso Village till he came back and collect information about the village. And he picked her up when he was in the Mirso in a cloak. He then ordered her to follow him wherever he went.

Rose: "Hiro-sama, you should have at least signaled me that you will be staying back in the mountain yesterday, degozaru."

Hiro: "Well, sorry Rose. The situation demanded it."

For Rose, orders were absolute. She was ordered to gather info in the Mirso Village which she did. And once she did, there was an unpleasant feeling in her that she couldn't understand. Hiro didn't know but yesterday was a roller coaster for Rose's heart. Various types of feelings attacked her at once.

First, She experienced an unpleasant feeling which made her want to kill the villagers for some reason. She didn't understand. Rose already knew that many people are rotten and do bad things. She never really cared about it and did her job. But this time, she wanted to punish them. She didn't know why but she knows that she wants to. (anger)

And the next unpleasant feelings that came to her was at night when Hiro didn't return to the village. The villagers started gossiping about how the dragon might have killed her. She experienced the same unpleasant feeling that she experienced before towards the villagers but along with that, there is something else that she experienced. Rose knew that Hiro is investigating, but she wondered if the dragon assaulted them. She thought that Hiro would be able to kill that dragon in that case, but the villagers' gossip made her doubt it. After all, she didn't know what level the dragon is. And when she thought about it, two new unpleasant feelings assaulted her. The ones that made her want to go to the mountain herself and made her wish for Hiro's safety. But she can't go since she was ordered to stay in the village till their return. (anxiety and fear)

Rose then thought of the other girls with him. And this time, another two new feelings assaulted Rose. Rose wondered if they were safe or not. And most importantly, she wondered if they were able to keep Hiro safe or not. Rose thinks that Eclair is the strongest in the team. When Rose thought of how Eclair and other girls can be at Hiro's side all the time protecting him, there were these heavy feelings in her. She wants to be in their place. She wants to be with them. But she can't since she is a Shadow. (sadness and jealousy)

She spent the whole night in the village with these feelings. The morning came. And the Sword Hero came to the village. the villagers told him the same lies they said to Hiro. And Rose didn't know what came to her but she mixed herself in the crowd and changed her voice and shouted that Shield Hero went yesterday and didn't come back.

Of course, the crowd didn't observe who shouted it but Ren immediately asked for further details and ran to the mountain after getting them. Looking at Ren's team going to the mountain Rose was assaulted with a few more feelings. One of them is something that's involved with expectation. She wants Hiro to be safe and for Ren to find them. She never wished for something this much. She didn't care about anything else. She just wants Hiro to be safe. (hope)

And she was also feeling something more. An unpleasant feeling which is similar to what she felt when villagers wished for Hiro's death yet so different. It was like this unpleasant feeling is directed towards herself. When she saw how Ren and his party ran for Hiro, she wanted to be like them. She also wants to go to the mountain and find Hiro but she can't. When she thought about it, this unpleasant feeling keeps assaulting her like she wants to punch something. (frustration)

And when she was waiting for Ren and Hiro in the village. She was in the inn where Hiro said he would pick her up after coming back in disguise of a village girl. A person in a cloak contacted her. She looked at the face to find Hiro. But before she could even react he signaled to back of the inn where there won't be people. And went out of there.

If Hiro stayed there even for a moment, he would be seeing the smile that formed on Rose's face without even her realizing it. She couldn't contain her lips from forming a curve. She didn't understand why ?? And all the unpleasant feelings were gone. Instead, she was filled with pleasant feelings. (happiness and relief)

She immediately wanted to meet Hiro. And she didn't understand why her lips were forming a curve. She contained herself and came back to her usual expressionless face. She went away from there and changed into Shadow form and went to meet Hiro. For some reason, he wanted to hug Hiro. But she contained herself.

Hiro told her that this was a part of a plan and that he would explain everything afterward and just follow him from distance in her shadow form. And once he said it, he went to the crowd which gathered because Ren came from the mountains.

Rose experienced another unpleasant feeling directed towards Hiro for making her undergo all those unpleasant feelings. It was a little similar to what she felt towards villager but with less intensity. That feeling made her pout, and unfortunately, her pouting face was also missed by Hiro. (annoyance)

But the pleasant feelings that came from seeing Hiro dominated that little unpleasant feeling. And she followed him from the distance and kept looking at him. She didn't care about what he did or what others around her did. She just kept looking at him and followed him the whole time until he called her name. And before Hiro could say anything else, she conveyed her opinion since she doesn't want to go through this state of turmoil again.

Rose still doesn't know that the reason all these unpleasant and pleasant feelings are all because of one stupid feeling that she is feeling towards Hiro. (...)
