The crowd first began to walk backwards, but then ran towards the City, trying to keep as much distance as possible from the nightmare in front of them.
Among that group, Taisetsuna noticed a few people with pointy ears and dressed in brown and dark green clothes, and she mumbled, “All this time without seeing an Elfian, and now a bunch were almost going inside Raluth. But they sure ran fast!”
At the edge of the trench, Tomiga and the others were telling people to get back to the Magical Circle and to travel to another country, while Chujitsuna was raising the people from inside the trench and telling them the same thing while carrying Tresuria on her right shoulder.
None of them could hear, because the screams from Raluth made it impossible, but they all easily understood what they needed to do. R
“With this, ends the adventures of Nozomu Shinchaku, The Amazing Sidekick, as he would be known in the Raluth World. His sacrifice saved everyone, and his friends remembered him forever. As for Taisetsuna, don’t feel sorry for her because she has three men that love her and, with time, were a good replacement for her lost love.

The sun was high, middle of the morning, temperature of 32ºc. Jack Snyder was riding his company car to visit another client. His phone rang over the radio, connected by Bluetooth. He pressed the small button on the lever at the right of the steering wheel and smiled at the name of his wife on the car radio display, "Hello, pretty girl. Miss me already?""Nah, just to remind you that I will come out late from work, and you have to go get Mia from school. Peter has an exam in the middle of the afternoon, so you can’t count on our older son to go get his sister, it has to be you.""I know, don’t worry. I have one client before lunch, and two more in th
Taisetsuna turned bright red and said, "We… were never a couple. We are childhood friends, and I would do anything for you, as you would for me. Well, I suppose I can’t say that anymore, considering you don’t remember me.""Sorry, my head is a bit blurry. So, you can use Fire and Healing Magic."Taisetsuna made a small Wind Tornado on her left hand and said with her head tilted sideways, "And Wind Magic, thank you very much! I am also special, because being able to use three different types of Magic is extremely rare. The Priest once told us that he only knew one Mage that could use three types when he was a soldier, many, many years ago."
The red Unicorn jumped ahead and ran at full speed with a screaming Cat-girl having a blast. He then made a tight turn and ran in the direction of the Orphanage.Nozomu tapped the white Unicorn’s neck and said, “It’s better if we follow them, but go slowly, okay? I don’t know how to ride, and my head still hurts a bit.”The white Unicorn walked slowly and made a turn. After a couple of minutes, he changed to a trot, with Nozomu holding the mane and squeezing his legs against the Unicorn’s sides, so as not to fall. Like that, it took them longer to reach the building where a smiling Cat-kind girl was already talking with an old man
Nozomu widened his eyes, "Or someone like me that can be used as a shield for the Monsters! Yeah, better to hide my ability, or I may be kidnapped and forced to enter one of those caves!"The Priest spoke with a worried look, "Another good reason why I told the Guild Master to take you in. No one messes with a Guild of Adventurers, unless they want to die. They have a saying, ‘mess with one, you get all of us’, and they always protect their members against another Guild, any kind of Monster, an army or a foreign country."Nozomu got up and when he was about to leave the room, he asked, "What about the Unicorns? What do we do with them?"
Taisetsuna swallowed and answered with a slight smile while showing him her fingernails, sharp as claws, "The first one that tries anything pervert against me, will lose both eyes. These are not only for show, you know?""Ok, as long as you are aware that you are too sexy and tempting for a hot-blooded male. Now, do you mind putting away those things? They are scary and I need to concentrate on this book."Taisetsuna grabbed her book and buried her face in it, hiding her redness and embarrassment. She said in a low voice, and Nozomu almost didn’t hear her, "Thanks for saying that I am cute and sexy, I really appreciate that."
Nozomu smiled, "I know, it’s to change the taste and effects of some drinks, mostly wine. Better than a branch from a tree, we could use leaves from black tea, because those kinds of leaves have an excess of tannins.""We have that type of tea! The Priest is always drinking it, he says it keeps him awake during the day when he stays up late, reading.""Yes, that’s also the effect of the tannins, they give a stamina boost, and you don’t feel sleepy."Taisetsuna slowly nodded, "It makes sense, because the book says that if a few steps

In front of Raluth’s mouth, Draiky and Oaky were facing him, waiting for further orders.Then, sensing something, Draiky signalled to Oaky, and they both stuck their hands on the soil.A deep hole appeared that sucked them in, and under Taisetsuna, her group, each Teacher, and student, a hole appeared as well, which took them to a few meters underground.Taisetsuna looked around and saw a few vines bound to form two small hands with four tiny fingers.The hands signalled her to wait, and she frowned as she said, “What is the matter, Draiky? Is that you, right?”Both hands gave her a thumbs up and signalled for her to wait again. The others inside the holes received the same signals, and they
Chujitsuna raised her head, stopping making the trench with her Magic for a moment to look at where Taisetsuna was pointing.She half-closed her eyes and said, “No, those are horses, cows, ‘Scaraar’s, and chickens. Do we need to stop them?”Taisetsuna frowned and answered, “Might as well. It will serve to test our defence! Everyone, make a line! Let’s do this! Chuji! The trench!”“Sorry boss! On it!”Taisetsuna looked at the City again and saw a big group of people coming from the gates with soldiers after them, shooting arrows and Magic. Two people in that group stayed behind to fight the soldiers by creating walls made of rock or throwing Wind Pushes against them, and the rest continu
The resurfacing of Raluth was felt all over the World, but it was the ‘Ifranluan Empire’ that suffered the most because it was in the mountain range in the north of the Empire that Raluth’s head appeared. Or better yet, the entrance to his massive body through his enormous mouth.Raluth’s went deep down in circles, from the head to the rest of his body, creating a never-ending spiral that occupied almost the entire Empire’s underground.When he resurfaced, the tremors lacerated the land, and at the Capital, the Castle cracked, unable to resist the trembling gro
Before they had time to say anything or see that he was crying, Nozomu ran out the door and helped Koyaga wrap the blankets around the piles of bags with chocolates near the Dragons that were waiting for him.When Draiky brought the last bag and Nozomu tied the last knot, he gave the wrapped blanket to Mizukonta, and he said to the worried Koyaga as he was giving her a dagger, “Go to the Princess. Tell her that Raluth is emerging and that he will control everyone with his Magic. All over the World, no one will resist him, and they will go to him to be eaten. This dagger is coated with a Sleeping Potion and you just need to scratch the Princess with it and you as well. Maybe if you are both sleeping, you have a chance. Trust no one, Koyaga, because the moment Raluth controls them, I don’t know what they will do.”“An
Everyone turned to where Mizukonta was pointing her clawed paw, and they saw it. A bright beam of pure magic was being shot straight into the sky. Something terrible was happening, judging by the pressure they were feeling in their bodies as if suddenly, they all weighed more than they should.The trembling diminished but didn’t stop, and Mizukonta stared at Hinotsume, who was looking at the beam of energy in silence.He then faced Nozomu and said, “It is time. We need to act fast. The Dragons know what to do, and by now, they are all flying to the Academy to meet us. We must go as well.”Nozomu looked at Taisetsuna, who was completely pale and staring at him. She immediately understood what Hinotsume meant, and despite the others being puzzled by his words, she was not.<
Nozomu scratched his head and said, “I need to be extra careful with those vials, then. And I am going to need a place to put all this money. I wasn’t expecting it to be this much already!”“The nectar doesn’t explode that easily, you know? As for the money, you need to decide where to spend it. You can’t have all these coins, or the country will have a shortage of coins very soon if the sales keep on increasing! We are already getting orders from other countries, and I need to hire more people to help our Cook. And the other Guild Masters are facing the same problem! Lack of staff for so many orders of pizzas, chocolates, and chewing gums! You are going to be filthy rich in no time, Nozomu! Together with your Baronet title and the lands the Princess promised, you will be a very interesting bachelor for every single woman out there. I would be very surprised if you don’t have a girlfriend already!”
