Chapter 18: Resolve

"Wow, such a sad story"

"Yeah... The three years of the four of us adventuring together was something that I couldn't forget even if I wanted to"

"Why did you want to become a teacher? Didn't you say that you wanted to be with Troy?"

"Of course I want to be with him... It's just that... I felt like I was in his way... Like literally, I got transported here out of nowhere! Got myself involved with other people's lives! I must have ruined Troy's life for the worse! Making him unable to do things he wanted to do with Helen! *Sniff* And I'm such a bad friend... Promised to matchmake Helen with Troy together only to get Troy for myself..."

"What do you want to do, Kokoharu?"

"Huh?"

"If you want happiness then why don't you go for it? Like who cares, right? You love Troy right? He was your first romance in this world so why not say the truth to him... that you wanted to start a family with him..."

"*Sniff* I don't want to ruin or interfere with his life anymore... The only reason why I wanted to become a teacher was so that I could teach other people but also to have a steady job with a reliable income for when Troy and I get married"

"Then why don't you! I've been with Troy for a couple of days and I could tell that he deserves a good life! Go on and tell him that you love him!"

"Y-You really think so?"

"Of course! I'm sure that if you take up courage and speak to him then he wouldn't refuse it one bit!"

"I-I guess you're right... Thank you... It's great to have someone back from my old world to express my secrets with..."

"No problem! Now what are you waiting for? Go and look for him!"

"A-Ah alright!"

Kokoharu immediately stood up from her chair and clumsily ran out of the room, Goberin followed suit.

"I need to steel my resolve! He was probably waiting for it all this time! I need to tell him that I had and still have feelings for him!"

"Gosh, I can't believe my adventure is to get other people to fall in love!"

Meanwhile...

"Hmm... Man, they sure are taking a long time... Huh?"

There was a mass of people gathering in front of a fountain near the center by a fountain.

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

A mysterious figure wearing a black cloak stood on top of the fountain. His face was covered but there's a dangerous aura around him. A long black staff with a visible red gem planted on the top of it.

"Mwahahahahaha! Listen peasants! I, Xaiver had been sent down here by the Goddess Athena to rule over your world!!! Now listen and give up your Kingdom or I will be force to unleash my beautiful Staff of Terror on your land! What horrifying effects might it cause? Mwahahahaha! I don't even know myself!" He swiped his cape and head up into the sky as he laughed.

"Man... There sure are some weird people nowadays..." Troy says as he scratches his head.

A group of centaurs suddenly approaches Xaiver, "Hey! You there! Stop making a scene in public!"

"If you don't wanna get hurt, please stop what you're doing!"

"Oh? So this world has some kind of police force, no matter! Now face my 'Ultra Lighting Instinct Hyper Beam'!" Xavier pointed his staff at one of the centaurs and it shot out a dark ray that hit and knocked back the centaur.

"Arghhh!!"

"Hey! Alright, we take that as you defying the law! Be prepared to face consequences!"

"Mwahaha *cough* *cough* ahaha! Goddamn it, die!"

One of the centaurs then lowered his head down and charged at Xavier. He then shot another one at the charging centaur. But when the centaur is charging at him, a faint glow of red emits from his horns. When the dark ray came into contact it then bounced right off and into the sky.

"W-What!?" Surprised as he was but before Xavier could counter-attack, the centaur ramps his head into his stomach pinning Xavier in the middle of his horns and launching him backwards.

*Thump*

He falls to the ground on his back and the weapon he had was disarmed quickly by the other centaurs.

"Take him to the Centaur Department!"

"Yes, sir!"

The scene was wrapped up and dealt with so quickly leaving Troy confused "What the heck was that all about?"

*Huff* *Puff*

Meanwhile Kokoharu has managed to chase up to Troy.

"H-Hey Troy! U-Um... Huh? Did something happen here?"

"Hm? I don't know honestly, it was probably a weird circus act or something"

"Strange... Ah but um... I- er... I have something that for a long time I have been wanted to tell you"

"Are you referring to..."

"Y-Yes! Back then I didn't know what I was saying so... I made things awkward between us! But now I've made my decision, I want to start a family with you! I love you!"

"You... would really love a fiend like me? Who would attack women at every forgiven opportunities he has?"

"Stop belittling yourself!"

"But I'm a scum aren't I?"

"No you're not! Stop saying that! You have changed into a better person! I know you have! You could say bad things about yourself! People could say bad things about you! But you are you! Right? Troy is Troy no matter whatever people say about you! Because I know who you truly are!"

"..."

Tears start to flow down on Kokoharu's face, "You've been very kind to me when we first met! *sniff* When I was down, you tried to cheer me up by doing wacky things! When I was in danger, you would always come to rescue me! And when our team was falling apart, you would always know how to bring us back together! And *sniff* even though you always teased me at everything I did, I knew that you were just doing that because you really cared about me! And you have always been beside me when the others weren't! *sniff*..."

"..."

When Kokoharu was crying when she suddenly got embraced by Troy.

"...!"

"Okay okay, stop crying... You're such a cry baby honestly"

Kokoharu giggles a bit "*sniff* I-I know but... You were the first one to come in and saved a stranger like me on the side of the road"

"Hehe... My thoughts were more along the lines of why was this amateur so stupid, hehe"

"Hey, stop it! Weren't you an amateur yourself back then?"

"Pfftss hahaha! Well at least I knew how to use a weapon!"

The two laughed it off. Goberin finally caught to see them hugging while Kokoharu cried her eyes out.

"What a cute couple" Goberin then sighs "I can't believe my first ever adventure would be like this..."
