When Taisetsuna and the others joined Chujitsuna Hito and Tresuria on the other side of the tree, they all saw Chujitsuna looking up at the mountain and frowning.
She elbowed Tresuria and asked, “Do you see anything up there? Because the stench is making my nose want to leave my face!”
“Yes, it is indeed strong. Smells like… rotten flesh? Or is it death? But it doesn’t seem to come from up there, or else the smell wouldn’t be here. It is lower, maybe…”
Her eyes stopped on two big rocks that were leaning against the mountain. There was a small space between them, near the soil.
Tresuria nodded, and with a slow movement of her hands, the vines opened a passage, and they went to the corridor that led to the big open clearing.She walked carefully to the curve, with Chujitsuna Hito right behind her. With a last glance back to check if the now serious Snake-kind girl had her arrows ready, Tresuria poked her head into the clearing. She carefully aimed her green flower at one Goblin that was on the path on the plateau. The small seed hit him on the leg, and he almost fell.The other Goblins behind him grunted, annoyed by the sudden stop, and while he was rubbing his leg and wondering what that weird pain was, Chujitsuna pointed an arrow at the piece of bloody meat he was carrying over his head.Five arrows hit the meat that f
While everyone was smiling, Nozomu scratched his head. “That will be so tiring… carrying all these bodies? They are not heavy. I guess I can carry two at a time, but they are so many!”Tresuria timidly raised her hand and said, “This one can make the waggons… And… what about if Chuji made the floor slippery, and we threw the Goblins on the floor at each other? We could make a line on the intersections we crossed to get here and slide the Goblins out…”Chuji vigorously nodded. “I can do that easily! Way to go, Tresuria! We can use that with the scales and the claws as well! Let’s carry a few Goblins and each of us stops in an intersection while the others continue to the outside.
Taisetsuna raised her hand and asked, “Principal, when are the Dragons supposed to arrive?”“They normally appear by this time on that field where the targets were. Are you sure you and your Party want to face them? You are all covered in blood, and you seem too tired and almost ready to faint from tiredness.”She took a few vials of Healing Potion from her bag, distributed them among her friends, and gulped down half a vial, feeling her body full of energy and Magic again.While the others were also drinking their Potions, she smiled at the Principal and said, “We are not tired. Those Goblins were just a nice warm-up. We just need a few minutes to put the waggons somewhere, and we will be good to go.” Nozomu poked the big, hard nose in front of him and said, “The problem is, you can’t kill me like that, because we are here to fight you. According to your old promise, you and your blue friend over there like to come to this Academy every year to put fear in the hearts of the new students. And if a student or a Party of students defeated you, you would both forever be their loyal servants.”The big Dragon made a weird grimace with his big, enormous mouth and answered, “As if! You and your friends will be lucky enough to survive for ten minutes to get the points to enter the Academy! If you want to fight us, it means this is your last chance to enter, because you failed all the tests.”“That is where you are wrong, you stupid, bad-smelling lizard! We already have the three points needed. We just want to The Amazing Sidekick Chapter 61.1 – Fighting the Dragons – part 2
Hinotsume had a slight frown on his massive forehead when he asked, “That means you don’t want to fly with me? Well, it seems it is just your friends, then.”“Hey! I didn’t say that! I just… Holy moly, put your mouth away, man! I am about to throw up! What the heck did you eat? Go eat some fruits or vegetables!”“Stop talking about my breath, will you? I ate one Drake this morning that was attacking a village to the north of here! It is not my fault that Drake’s meat has a weird smell! You should thank me for eating that Drake, you know? I helped a bunch of meat sacs like you that live in that village!”Nozomu crossed his arms over his chest and spoke, “Again with the meat sac? You lack manners, lizard. Maybe I shoul
Nozomu gave a slight smile and said, “Okay, understood, Hinotsume.”“It is probably better if I tell you another thing. I didn’t know you could make those weird explosions, so I said Raluth was going to awake when you would be long dead, but that might not be correct. You should prepare yourself for Raluth in your lifetime. That also means I must talk with Mizukonta. For you to exist means that Raluth will awake. From what I know, it has happened before. A being immune to Magic and able to make unusual Magic was born, and Raluth awoke. It is as if the Gods created beings like you to fight Raluth. Among the Dragons, this story is told by parents to their offspring about a being that fights Raluth and dies every time. There was once one being that refused to fight and remained hidden. He survived the cleansing, but remorse ate him inside. He killed himself two months after t
Taisetsuna gulped and tried to speak, with her throat going dry. “That… is so sad… for you and them…”“I also thought the same. And… the Princess told me that in three years, I would be older, and I could be next to her as her consort. Then, I told Miss Koyaga to talk with the Princess to see what they wanted to do without me in the middle. After their talk, they came up with another idea. I would be the Princess’ consort, to fool the country and the Nobles, and to give her an heir, when in reality, she would be with Miss Koyaga.”“But… they would use you just like that? And you agreed with that? That is a sick plan, you know?”Nozomu took a slow deep breath and faced the now angry girl and explained, “What else could I say? You saw those Nobles in her court? If the Princess has no heir, they will certainly cause a civil war to get the crown for themselves. And if the Princess and Miss Koyaga are apart like they were until now, they will continue to be miserable. They can’t be with me
After bathing and changing clothes, Nozomu and the others met the girls in the main room at a table. Most students were already there, and a few were still arriving.The moment Nozomu sat, Chujitsuna asked, “You got a nice bath, Nozomu? I had a fantastic one with these two pretty girls! Man, Tresuria has a nice body, but Taisetsuna? She is gorgeous! I just wanted to lick her all over, but she didn’t let me!”Nozomu almost choked and said when he noticed the redness on Taisetsuna’s face, and the angry look that Tresuria was trying to disguise, “You shouldn’t say things like that, Chuji. You might make Taisetsuna or Tresuria angry at you.”She immediately turned to face Tresuria and noticed the frown she had on her forehead, which she was tryi
