Nozomu quickly wiped his tears before Takanari noticed and kissed her forehead. With a last smile, he went to the columns where Koyaga and the Unicorns were. As they waved to the happy Dog-kind family, the old Mage activated the rotating disks and Nozomu watched in amazement as the Magical Dome appeared on the Circle, right in front of him. When the extremity of the Dome touched the Circle on the other section of the Magical Circle, the portion in front of Nozomu retreated, and the Magical Circle was now empty.Nozomu thanked the old Mage for the help, and went to the middle of the Circle, with two frowning Unicorns at his side.Koyaga stood next to him and asked, “You were crying when they were leaving, weren’t you? Takanari really got a place in your heart. You
Nozomu and Koyaga looked to where the voice was coming from, and they saw a young Cat-kind, about the same height but looking older than Nozomu.With short, light brown, messy hair, and light green eyes, he kept on staring at Nozomu as he walked next to him, and spoke in an accusing tone, “Who did you kill to get them? No way they would be willing to follow you like that!”The tone of his voice and the proximity to his friend made Rampage rush forward, and he pointed his sharp menacing horn at the boy’s neck.Nozomu stopped while grinning at the now scared Cat-kind boy, who was frozen in his steps, looking down at the glowing horn full of Magic. “Easy now, Rampage. No need to pierce him. W
The Guild Master made a big smile. “I understand that, and if you are going to other Cities to teach the Cooks in the Guilds and Inns to do this, you will get a ton of money in just a few days, because I am predicting huge sales.”“Well, ever since we started selling this in Ourelona, we have long lines every day. People come in the morning to buy pizzas and chocolates for lunch or for a snack in the afternoon, and others come by dinner time to eat at the Guild or to take home. We had an increase in our finished Quests because the Adventurers want to finish in time to return to the Guild for dinner. Since the Guild also earns a share of the sales, we are getting a big profit every day, according to our Guild Master.”H
Nozomu nodded, unable to stop looking at those pink eyes. Koyaga spoke, and the plant girl looked at her with a big smile. “Hello, Tresuria, nice to meet you. I am Koyaga Azusake and he is Nozomu Shinchaku.”“This one is pleased to meet you, Koyaga Azusake. This one is also pleased to meet you, ‘new hope’. This one likes your name, it makes this one believe you will do great things.”“Thanks, I guess, but you can call me Nozomu, like everyone else. No one ever calls me by what my name means in the ancient language. I hope you don’t mind my question, but why do you refer to yourself in the third person by saying ‘this one’ all the time?”<
Nozomu wondered why Koyaga was looking at him with her eyes glowing, and she said, “You will like her, Nozomu! Muse is a crazy woman, but an exceptional fighter! She can use anything as a weapon. When I was in the Academy with her, I dared her to fight with a broom, and I got my ass kicked! Oh, I almost forgot! Nozomu, this is the Guild Master, Agu Sirel, and for me, the greatest Dwarf that ever lived! Or used to be, but then his daughter was born. Darn it, I miss Muse. And this cute little thing is Tresuria. We just met her moments ago.”“Yes, I know Tresuria. She arrived yesterday with her Party. Where are they, by the way?”The smiling Gailie answered with her hands behind her back and with her body wobbling back an
As if to prove what she was saying, Tresuria pointed to the red flower that was still opening and closing, accompanying her breathing.He gulped and said, “It seems the chewing gum affected you almost in the same way as it affected me when I tested it yesterday. I think Gailies and Humans have more in common than I thought. I am sorry, I didn’t know.”“Don’t worry, this one was just caught by surprise. This one will be alright in a minute. This one is already in the proper age for ‘experiment’, but this one never did it.”She immediately covered her face with both hands as she vigorously shook her head. “Oh no, this one did it
By the middle of the afternoon, Nozomu was in the kitchen, making the dough for the next day, and Seta Azusake was near the stove, tasting the chocolate mix.The Guild Master arrived with a big smile on his face. “Nozomu, if this keeps up, soon we will have enough money for some necessary repairs of the building! Did you guys see the line today? It was even bigger than yesterday! If your food has this success in other Cities, you will be filthy rich in a few months, Nozomu!”“The Guild Masters of the two Cities that we went to today also said the same thing. I wasn’t expecting such a reaction from the people, actually. I thought the pizzas and the chocolates would be appreciated because they are tasty, but the side eff
Nozomu noticed and whispered, “A friend of yours? He seems happy to see you.”“He is just a stupid brat that thinks too high about himself. Can you believe he tried to convince me to join his bed and after I refused, he acted all nice to me, as if nothing had happened? No idea what is inside that empty head of his.”“Judging by the way he is smiling at you, he probably likes you. Hey, don’t make such a face to me, I was just saying!”Taisetsuna was making a grimace after his words, and she then glanced at the group of Nobles again, and saw a certain Noble young woman trying to kill her with her eyes.
