New Fantasy

Chapter 3 : The Beginning of Fantasy

"Hey, hey!". Someone spoke while shaking my body.

"Okay, ehmm, hey, can you calm down", I complained.

"Grr, HEY !! Wake up you slacker !!". His sound is getting louder and somehow more annoying.

But because I'm a good boy, I open my eyes slowly.

"Whoa !!!", I was surprised by something that lay right in front of my eyes. A round, feathery ball stood in my handsome face (hehe).

"Hmm, since when I have a caterpillar ? ," I muttered to myself.

"Hey !! Who you call caterpillar, you damn bald monkey!", The ball can shout at me apparently.

"Whoa !! The ball speaking !!", I was shocked. "Wait, this seems to have happened before", I was talking to myself.

"Yes, yes, yes, this is me, you shrimp's head", I can recognized the ball as Chill.

After I was aware of the ball and got up, from the front door of the house came a pair of legs.

The owner of the foot spoke, "Hey, why it takes so long".

The owner of the foot is Angel. On her shoulder was a towel lying limp. Maybe she just came home from the bath in the river.

She went to one of my rooms to change.

"Hey, Chill, do we go right away?" I asked Chill, who had moved away from my face.

"You mean you want to stay here forever?" Chill asked me back.

"Erm-" I tried to reply.

"The answer is no", Chill answered me again. "We need to find as much information as possible while people's memories are fresh".

"Hmph, then okay", I replied curtly. After that, I immediately prepared for everything, even though I had Strag.

"Hey !! Are you guys ready?", Angel's voice echoed again in this place. Suddenly-

Crack! Creak! From outside the house came the sound of pounding feet. The sound was louder and louder that could signal that the owner of the voice was approaching.

"Um, guys, it seems like I got some guests", I said to anyone who listened. Then I stepped toward the front window.

And there were a few yards from the door, half a dozen short green creatures with sullen faces and armed with 'shortsword' on the right hand and a 'buckler' in his left hand.

They walked in unison. Three in front and three in back. And finally they came to my door.

"Hey! Looks like they want to force in," I told my two partners.

"Then let's just welcome them," Angel said to me.

"Tch, you don't have to say any, a host must have to welcome guests who come", I said while taking the 'knive' from Strag.

I was immediately pushed the front door with a straight kick as strong as possible.

As a result, the three strange creatures in the front row crashed into another strange creature in the back row.

"Grrgaa, urggagrr", the creature seemed to be talking. Or maybe crying? Or angry? Hmm ... who knows? Only they know.

The three creatures behind pushed the other three who were in front of me while the others in the front swung their shortsword in piercing style.

Fortunately Angel swiftly behind me with a memorized mantra protect. So the puncture of the three creatures was like a stone piercing.

But because it was attacked with a strong enough force and because Angels protect is still weak, the protect spell immediately destroyed like a broken glass.
