After that fateful meeting, we started traveling together. Traveling together, we participated in my monster hunting quest and helped the heroes in taking down evil lords. We go to many battlefields and face hardships together. Eventually, falling in love and decide to live normally on a peaceful continent.

She was an over-protective wife. Falfa currently works in a flower shop. The task was easy, she said, and she could handle her work on her own. Meanwhile, I, who

Dungeon of Zero Short story 9: The lost amusement park (Part 1)
I have been walking around for hours and am still unable to find my way to the next town. According to the map I’m using, the next town is supposed to be located nearby. Is this map old? Because I do not see any towns around me at all. I thought and took another look and then I realized something undeniable. The map is supposed to be read horizontally, but I’m reading it vertically. I’ve been moving on a different path all this time. The sun is scourging hot and I’m not able to go back to the last city I left. The hours of walking went wasted. Surrounding me is just a sandy place with nothing. My water bottle is already empty. The heat has already exhausted my body. No food left. To be precise, I didn’t bring anything with me, thinking that the next town was just around the corner. As a traveler, I would like to travel with only a few belongings. Right now, I’m regretting my decision. “I should’ve brought some food with me.” I

“After the long journey of the hero. The hero goes into the pub and has his stomach filled with a lot of delicious food.”I said before I took a bite of the fried chicken legs in my hand. After biting and having a satisfying crunch. I took the cold root beer beside my plate and chugged it. Slamming the cup of root beer on the table.“Ahh~”I release a well-accomplished expression on my face.“So good!”“We’re very glad that Miss Hanayuki loves our dishes.”“It is so good… I don’t have a single complaint. The chicken is juicy and the skin is crunchy. The gravy is superb. The most important thing. Everything is free. Making everything more delightful.”“You’re quite right about that.”The orc woman said who was eating beside me. On the opposite side of the table was the little girl Shaymi. Just like me, she had a very satisfied expres

She never knew her parents. Their faces or their smell.But Shaymi weirdly never searches for them.The main reason was… Shaymi is already happy.The love the monster gives to her is enough… No, it is overflowing. They all took care of Shaymi and almost spoiled her. Despite that kind of bringing up. Shaymi never looked down on anyone. She remained down to earth and everything.

The monsters immediately encircle Hanayuki and their swords slash them.Before the attack landed on her skin. Hanayuki manages to leap upward to the sky to avoid the circle of attack. While she’s on air. The archer elf fired rapid arrows.“Lightning speed!”Hanayuki activated her signature magic, the Lightning speed. Lightning speed is a unique type of magic and only Hanayuki was allowed to use it. Upon activation, Hanayuki’s body is covered with lightning-type mana. Her body transformed into matter that can withstand great speed. Speed of lighting was added afterward to increase her agility at an inhumane level. Her speed is not only limited to the speed of lightning. Since her body won’t break down after being exposed to high velocity. There was a possibility for Hanayuki moving at light speed or greater than light speed. The downside of th

“Please…don’t leave me here all alone, Snow…”Two tears trickled down Nimym's cheeks, dripped, and landed on the large feather lying on the ground. The drops sprinkled.That pale blue feather was the only remaining memento of her family and friends. Snow, the only friend and partner she’d known for many months. Just a few minutes ago, Snow had died, bravely protecting her master. The monster’s weapon had delivered the final blow, and Snow had given a single, lonely cry, then shattered like ice. Just one long feather remained, the feather she so cheerily flapped whenever called.…Nimym was a spirit arts user. A class not often seen in this world. Spirit art users specialize in manipulating spirits and spirit energy. They make bonds with the spirit and be friends with them. It sounds easy, but being one is very hard. To be a spirit art user, some requirements need to be met.The spirit user must hav

“I’m sorry.”The light brown-haired girl said again.Ninym desperately blinked back tears and shook her head.“…No…It’s my fault…I was stupid. Thank you…for saving me…”She had to squeeze out the words between stifled sobs. The girl slowly approached, knelt before Ninym, and spoke hesitantly.“That small feather dragon… Is not a monster, right?”Ninym nodded and replied:“My friend was a spirit.”“It's not too late… there is still a way to save your friend.”She wiped her tears away and got confused about what Hanayuki had just said. Living things that have died won’t be coming back. It is true, but that law is not applied to everything in this world.For example, was spirit life. Spirits are creatures that will have the ability to live for a thousand years. They could still die, just like

Short story 12: Secret spy (Part 3)
“What is the status of the matter with the evil mage?” When I returned to the office, the boss was wearing another sour expression. “As expected… I brought down the evil mage with my own hands! Right about now, that woman ought to be dying of embarrassment in front of the whole city!” My plan is flawless. The evil girl in question is now dying with her stomach twisted after drinking my poisoned coffee. My acting is very good and I’m never suspicious. She’s now unable to go out because of her stomach being unwell. The poison I gave her will result in laxative diarrhea. She probably poops on her skirt earlier. Feeling so much shame that she would rather crawl in a hole and die. I’m truly a genius. I told my plan to the boss. And here’s what my boss had to say after silently lending his ear. “So I suppose you saw her dead in embarrassment with your own eyes?” “Of course not.” Seeing someone dying is something I don’t want to see. “...” At this point, my boss let out a huge si

Short story 12: Secret spy (Part 1)
A tough cookie like myself always begins his day with a nice cup of coffee. For us who dwelled in the shadows, making our living as spies, there was nothing better than taking up a cup of strong coffee to prevent our heads from feeling sleepy. Pumping ourselves full of coffee and drugs was the way of the world-weary. I mixed a drop of the medicine into my coffee and drank it down. This is my daily routine. I’d never been sure of what was in those drugs. I took them from a mail-order catalog. But they were super expensive, so I was convinced they were beneficial to my health. I took the cup and sipped it. “Bleh! So bitter…” This strong flavor was actually what banished sleepiness. Probably. That wasn’t written anywhere in the books, though. Coffee was bitter and gross and seriously tasted like mud, which triggered my gag reflex and made drowsiness my second priority. It didn’t taste anything like how they describe it in the spy novels. They wrote that black coffee was delicious or

Chapter 223: Voided Memories
Eden city, City hall. Dia clutched her temples trying to relieve some stress. “What is going on?” She whispered and stood up from her seat to get some tea. (I was gone for quite a while and problems pile up. Is that murderous Latina still doing her job? I take that back, she’s doing her job. She hated me more than anyone in this world. But she’s a big help, that’s for sure. I could not imagine myself doing this intense work without her.) Dia spawled back in her seat. She blow the hot steam first and sniff the relaxing aroma for a moment before she made her first little sip. She then shifted her sight to the paper laying on the desk. Most of them are report letters for spies Dia deployed to investigate other kingdoms' actions. The land that pull her interest the most was the neighboring country Ruki kingdom and The remote Islands of Youko. Youko wasn’t part of the world organization and they always push any offer from other countries as if saying that they could survive on their

Dashing at the dunes of the great desert back to Foire territory. I’m not planning on going to Fiore to ask for help from the knights. I’m merely going to use the route from Fiore to Yuno kingdom. Knights of order aid will be great, but I decided not to bother them. The last time I visited, I find out that they were having a long battle between the kingdom knights. The demon king might be gone, but the war continues. It will be inconsiderate of me if I ask them for a selfish favor. I have no exact plan on how I’m going to save Falfa. This might seem like jumping on a cliff, but I can’t help myself to jump. I have to save Falfa no matter what. This desperation is driving me to my limit.

“Princess Alina… Your tea is ready.” Miko placed the cup of tea accompanied by several variations of sweets. As for the girl in question--Alina-- was busy glazing into the unknown. For what reason she’s looking high up in the clear blue sky? For sure Alina won’t be adoring the blue sky. She is not the type of person who likes beautiful things after all. The craziest part was that Alina was standing in the same spot in front of the giant window for one week. She’s not sleeping or eating anything. Her eyes were simply fixed on something. Miku deep in her heart was worried and would like to ask what is going on. But if she does, that might be the end of her. In other words, death. Miku simply support her in whatever Alina wanted. There’s still the tea she serves earlier and Alina’s favorite strawberry shortcake. Miku can’t do anything but have a deep breath and placed the untouched food back into her pushcart. “Good night milady.” Miku greeted her and bowed her head before leaving Al

Chapter 220: Witch Contract
“I’m dead!” I sat up as I woke up. Immediately I have my hand on my chest and check my wound. There are no wounds in my chest. My body is perfectly fine. I was skeptical myself and look around. The place where I found myself wasn’t someplace I know. There's no floor but I’m sitting. No walls or anything. The closest description I could ever think of was that this place looks like the starry night sky I usually gaze into. From some angles, this place looks majestic. I didn’t notice immediately, but there was a girl sitting on a throne in front of me. The face same as Elaina's. This girl was the Cosmo witch. “You really mess up there.” She said. “You here to help me again. Thank you so much…” “Help you?” The witch gives me a cold gaze. My limbs were torn apart and my head was skewered by a golden sword. “... Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m not helping you or anything. Well, in some aspect we can say that I was helping you. I mean, you are dead right now and I’m the only one wh

A 50-meter-tall dragon appeared out of nowhere. Monsters aren’t supposed to get through the barrier of Liana. The barrier of Liana is been protecting the whole continent for hundreds of years. While I was dashing in full throttle something from the past resurfaced in my mind. In the past, the time Falfa and I were still new on this continent. There was a case about the havoc of the horned bear. The main culprit for that was the wyvern that took their shelter away from the bears. I took care of them and finds out that a part of the barrier melted. The hole wasn’t clear to the naked eye and only I who had a gleaming yes could see it. Wyvern noticing the hole is simply dumb luck. However, there must be someone who can see the barrier just like me and… Is this event caused by my ignorance? I want to live life os selfishly thinking of my happiness with Falfa. I don’t want to live like a hero who will selflessly dive into danger ever again. I don’t want that feeling anymore. But why am
