We follow the thoughts of a blonde-haired, dark-skinned sorceress named Amelia…
I still remember the last time my group was complete…
While my companions drank, I, Amelia, showed the other patrons at the bar where we were some magic tricks. I conjured water magic and summoned a beautiful rainbow…
You know, when I was a child, I loved doing these tricks to entertain the younger children at the orphanage…
I was so happy to see their faces light up, especially because I remembered when those children arrived. They were always sad, traumatized, mentally shattered…
Our orphanage used to house children who had lost their parents and homes in wars, whether between humans and demons or with the monsters that migrated due to the advance of the demonic army. If I could do something to make them smile again, it gave me a purpose to exist, and that’s why I’m so good at these things…
Entertaining the patrons at the bar where we drank brought me some happiness and helped me remember the good times of my childhood…
The atmosphere in the bar was very pleasant, but then a very unpleasant man tried to approach me.
“Hey, beautiful, want to have a good time with me at the inn around the corner?”…
I really disliked that guy, so I told him, “No, thank you.”
I tried to leave with my friends, but that idiot grabbed my arm and tried to pull me toward him, but then I heard…
“PARALYZE NERVOUS SYSTEM”
It was Ester. He had a serious look and used his degenerative magic on the man, leaving him writhing on the floor. Without saying a word, we returned to our table and continued drinking as if nothing had happened…
Being with my childhood friends gave me a great sense of happiness; they were my only family, and these moments filled me with immense joy…
I felt so comfortable with them that maybe…
I drank too much…
…
My companions went out to the back alley as a group, and I imagined what they were going to do.
If I had been sober… I wouldn’t have done what I did that night.
I approached them quietly and stood to urinate beside them, and I heard Ester say, “At least I have a bigger cock than Amelia.”
Then Ester noticed my presence. I looked at his little sword and said, “No, I have a bigger one, hahaha”…
If you’re wondering if I’m a man, the answer is no…
I’m not native to the Yamatory continent; I come from another, more tropical continent. I remember my mother telling me that in her lands, all were hermaphroditic women, so they had both sexual organs. But once they became pregnant, they lost their male sexual organ and became average women. I am a descendant of this tribe of women, which is why I have dark skin and dark blonde hair.
I never felt comfortable talking about this with anyone, not even with Master Kang…
Although I think he knew that I was descended from that tribe since he taught me both male and female sexual education.
From the expressions of my companions at that moment, I don’t think it impacted them much… except for Ester.
I noticed his surprise on his face…
I didn’t feel accepted by the very man who had always protected me since I was little. I admit I felt hurt and laughed more at Ester to try to calm my anguish. Ester left for the inn, leaving the rest of the group…
I saw that he had a perplexed expression, but I didn’t want to keep thinking about Ester, so we went to continue our little party in the town square…
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
Or at least we tried…
In the square, people were still in high spirits, with live music, and dancing until they dropped. It was the kind of party we liked best…
But we couldn’t enjoy the party for long…
As the mayor recognized us from among the crowd, he told us there was an emergency, and we knew the party was over.
…
Back in his office, we were given antidote potions to remove the alcohol from our bodies, for Eduard and me.
Yubel didn’t need them; he never gets drunk due to his accelerated healing, and yes, even though he never gets drunk, he always plays along when we drink alcohol.
The mayor told us that a dragon was approaching the village, and they had noticed it by the path of destruction it left behind. Since we are the highest-ranked adventurers in the city, at least for now, and it's a life-or-death situation, he offered us a very good reward. However, we had to leave immediately on horseback to subdue the dragon.
Before leaving the village, we stopped by the inn to look for Ester, but he was nowhere to be found. We quickly searched the city, and following his trail, we found a guard who had seen Ester not long ago.
“If it was a young priest with round glasses, I remember seeing him leaving the red-light district with a woman in his arms. I think one of my companions mentioned seeing a similar guy going to the cabins on the outskirts of the city with that woman. You might find him there.”
After hearing the guard’s words, I imagined what Ester might be doing and, strangely, I felt somewhat sad.
I met with my companions and told them what the guard had said. We decided to leave a letter with the innkeeper detailing our mission and instructing her to wait for Ester to return.
Once all our preparations were complete, we left together to subdue the dragon. But Amelia didn’t notice that when she left the letter with the innkeeper, her husband saw everything from a distance and recognized Amelia.
He was the same man who had tried to hit on Amelia and was stopped by Ester. That man had left the bar early as a consequence of Ester’s intervention and had watched from a distance as Ester separated from his friends… so he was laughing at his “small cock” issue.
He took the letter from his wife’s hands, promising to deliver it to his companion…
But out of his wife’s sight, he destroyed the letter. When Ester returned the next day, he received only mockery from the innkeeper. Ester didn’t recognize that it was the same man who had bothered Amelia, so he didn’t notice his malicious intentions.
…
Amelia and her team traveled in a horse-drawn cart to the area where the dragon was believed to be. Throughout the journey, the three adventurers were sleeping while a knight from the mayor’s office drove the cart, until they woke up to a loud crash…
The cart was destroyed, waking Yubel, Eduard, and Amelia.
“By the Goddess, what a terrible way to start the day,” I thought aloud.
Then Eduard said, “Amelia, stop joking. The driver is dead, and the dragon is eating the horse.”
It was indeed a very unpleasant sight. Yubel said, “Offensive formation,” as Eduard and Yubel drew the dragon’s attention while I recited the incantation for my Ice Coffin spell, aiming my spell directly at the dragon’s neck and hitting the mark.
Then Yubel went to attack the dragon’s neck, but we didn’t realize it was a fire dragon, so it easily freed itself from my Ice Coffin and, with its volcanic breath, sent Yubel flying far away.
Leaving Eduard and me alone to face the dragon. We could only defend ourselves from its sharp claws…
Then Eduard’s defense was broken as he took a direct hit from the dragon’s volcanic breath. Eduard managed to withstand the attack, but it wasn’t enough, and none of Eduard’s techniques could stand up to a dragon.

Yubel was sent far from us, and I felt that death was near. Eduard shouted, “It was a bad idea to fight this dragon without Ester. I have no vitality left to withstand the dragon’s attacks.”
Feeling that we were on the brink of death, I responded through my screams, “Then you shouldn’t have laughed at his small cock, you pair of idiots.”
The dragon stopped, and suddenly I didn’t understand what was happening… until it started laughing.
“What did you just say, little human? Care to explain?”
The dragon spoke to me… so to buy time, I told the dragon the whole story of what happened yesterday in detail to buy as much time as possible for Yubel to return and give us a chance to survive.
When I finished the story, the dragon was laughing.
“Hahaha, you’ve made my day. I’m Shiva, the dragon of wisdom. I travel in search of knowledge, but sometimes idiots attack me, either out of fear or trying to make money by selling my body parts.”
I responded angrily, “Then why did you attack us?”
In an interrogative tone, Shiva replied, “The soldier who was driving your cart tried to attack me first. With a bow and his little arrow, he woke me up, so I wanted to have breakfast with his horse, and then you attacked me.”
Somewhat incredulously, I said, “So you weren’t going to destroy the city of Sandiie?” But the dragon denied it.
“No, I was heading to the port of Zhanty to get books from other lands, but I guess it wasn’t a good idea to come in my dragon form.”
Then the dragon changed its form, revealing a woman around 20 years old with beast-like fangs for teeth, light red almost pink hair, horns hidden among her hair, and claws covered with scales shaped like hands.
"I didn’t want to adopt this form because it’s slower to move and I don’t have human clothes."
Since she was naked, I said, "You can wear Yubel’s old clothes; I think they suit your style." Once the dragoness Shiva was dressed as a human, I heard screams in the distance…
“Damn beast, I won’t forgive you if you touch my friends!”
Yubel returned, restless and scared, unable to control his murderous rage, fearing the worst… but he only found that his old clothes had been claimed by a pretty girl, much to his dismay.
…
Once we caught up with Yubel, we decided to take Shiva and add her to the team, as she had grown fond of me and wanted to meet Ester…
We returned to the village of Sandiie, which took us some time since the carriage was destroyed. When we were on the outskirts of the village, I stayed outside with Shiva to prevent anyone from finding out that the dragon was still alive, as we decided to fake its death to claim the reward.
While we were outside, Yubel and Eduard went to claim the reward, get us a new carriage, and bring back that idiot Ester…
Partially successful, because Yubel and Eduard returned with the gold they had promised us and with provisions for the trip, mounted on a new cart.
“Eduard, Yubel, where is Ester and why didn’t he come with you?”
Yubel looked away, and Eduard responded…
“His belongings weren’t at the inn. The man at the reception said he saw Ester with a woman heading to the adventurers’ guild. We went to ask about Ester at the guild, and it turns out he took a mission guarding a merchant caravan heading to the port of Zhanty. I’m really sorry, Amelia.”
At that moment, I felt my sadness turn into anger. That idiot abandoned our mission to save the continent.
He abandoned his childhood friends.
He abandoned me…
I was about to cry when I felt Shiva hugging me from behind. I didn’t say a word and silently left the city of Sandiie to continue our journey with or without Ester.
