In that dimness the eyes of the beast resembled those of the boy hidden in the cave, his smell did not lie, he had found his prey and with a quick movement he enters the cave with his fangs the boy finds himself face to face with the creature that In moments she would tear her body with those sharp teeth, and one last thought came to mind. -I'm alone once again-he recovers from something that happened many years ago. Something that came to change everything.

When Hytori was about 8 years old he had never had trouble socializing on the contrary he was fun and cheerful with everyone, but one day that changed ...

???: -Hey boy.

???: Give it to me!

Hytori: -No! It was my mother who gave me ...

???: -Large soon!

Some boys surprised Hytori as he returned home after a day at school, they wanted to take from him a gift that his mother had given her on the birthday a bright green amulet of her favorite anime character. He carried it everywhere, it was his lucky charm as he used to say, some children were jealous and decided to tease him for days longer seeing that he still carried that charm, they found an affront and decided to settle once and for all, and they were there trying to take away their most precious possession.

???: me then that!

Some of the boys held his arms so that he could do nothing while the other plucked the amulet from his neck, Hytori crying asked them to hand back his amulet, plus one of the boys then said:

???: -You are nothing but a garbage, should not have that.

The boy after finishing talking throws his amulet against the wall breaking it whole, Hytori is paralyzed seeing that and has his body lying on the floor, the boys continue to tease him and his c.h.e.s.t fills with fury so he goes over had broken his amulet and punched him, the other boys hold him right after and then drawing the blood that dripped from his lips the boy who had been punched says -you will regret it. - as soon as they start kicking and punching Hytori who shrinks his Cyrus to protect his head, those kicks and punches in his body hurt no more than the pain he felt for those around him doing nothing to help him, he had not walked not even 10 meters from the school gate and the other students saw everything and did nothing, just looked at them if they said their friends, everyone was afraid of those boys who had been troubled at school, after several kicks and punches the boys left there no more before saying something Hyori would remember for the rest of her life.

???: -You have no friends you idiot, a trash like you will always be trash. - it was starting to rain.

They ran laughing to get out of the rain, Hytori who remained lying there without moving moved heard the spectators who laughed at him come out of the rain, leaving only one. After a while Hytori got up grabbing his ripped and soaked backpack without looking at that person standing there being bathed in the rain, what was it? Still wanted to see more? -... - so he stumbled his way a little without looking to see who that person was, after all she was also one of those who had done nothing, surely was still teasing him, staying there after the others were gone .

After that that cheerful and sociable boy closed to the world and became invisible after the discussions about the fight were giving way to other subjects at school, he became a nobody, a friend, one who didn't talk to no one the stranger in the room, and so on year after year until then. It always just was and always just would be.

Hytori: -Always just ...

Hytori closes his eyes as if accepting his death that was coming before him, was just as he had always been in the real world, yet another voice came to his mind. -Hytori! - and another -Hytori! - Hytori! They were familiar voices, so he saw himself on the last day of the event when his comrades laid their hopes on him, calling him by name all he wished he had heard that fateful day behind us, and their faces screaming his name made him open his eyes. again before the approaching beast.

Hytori: -This time ... just this time ...

Her body begins to emanate a black aura that takes over the whole place, it was the same sensation that felt on the last day of the event. Hytori then realizes that the beast has stopped and something runs through its body from the ground, it was a black thorn as before, but this time there was something different, his hands were not injured.

Hytori: -I'm going friends.

Hytori's body is shrouded in darkness so she starts running at high speed through the forest retracing her path there.

On the farm the fight continued, Yashina faced two magical beasts in the distance, farther away was Kamero trying to stop Aysa's bleeding lying on the floor.

Kamero: -what have in your head? Get in front of the beast like that.

Aysa had been trying to stop the beast that went after Hytori from following him but ended up being severely wounded leaving Kamero and Yashina with no choice but to let kamero press the ice of his magic into the wounds on her body while Yashina tried to gain time for her. They and Hytori find someone.

As time went on she got weaker and weaker, the last blow had consumed a lot of mana and she couldn't use another and now she was facing two, one more thing not letting her focus fully of the battle, the fact that Hytori is alone in the woods made her very uncomfortable, but she told him to go, yes she knew that and that's why she was so nervous.

Kamero: -Fierce torrent I'm almost done here, Yashina! kamero shouted when he saw one of her blows disappear before hitting the target was a sign that she had reached her limit. - "damn it".

Yashina: Right! - panting.

The beasts continued their attacks without diminishing their attack, they still had a lot of power and could turn the game at any moment, but like every hunter they were waiting for the perfect moment to strike with a final blow.

And so it was when Yashina tried to use a flash of light and from her hands nothing came out, the beasts saw that it was the right time and attacked her unprotected body.

Kamero: -Yashina!

Kamero was stunned by this scene, his body being smashed so hard in the blink of an eye.

Hytori: Are you alright?

Yashina: -Hytori?

Kamero: -Oh, "it's finally here."

Hytori had arrived at the last second and with one hand he eliminated the beast that came closest to Yashina, destroying his body with several black hands, the other beast retreated a little to see such force soon afterwards began to growl at Hytori.

Hytori's body was shrouded in black cloak, her eyes were dark as night, and her features were serious, almost unmistakable.

Hytori: -Yashina back away.

Yashina: -More ...

Hytori: -Please, you've done a lot for me, now it's my turn.

The girl's eyes started to water and without letting him see, she covered her face and started running to where Kamero was.

Hytori: Now it's between you and me, damn beast.

Hytori could end that beast quickly, but unlike the others, he knew he was strong and not serious off guard like the others, the wolf would use everything he had now that he saw his power. Hytori could not underestimate her.

The beast is the first step and begins to unleash sonic howls against Hytori who creates a dark matter shield on his left arm and fends off the blows, in counterpart he soon starts firing several pointed dark matter shots towards the beast. who dodges them as best he could and prepares a sonic howl again and fires at him, Hytori wears her cloak on her legs and jumps out of the beast's range and then creates a dark matter fist that hits the beast before she can get out. , throwing her against a tree plus she quickly gets up bleeding and rages letting out a loud howl that shudder atmosphere right then she advances against him hoping he was dizzy plus Hytori manages to use his shield and protects his body from teeth and claws of the beast and soon after creates several thorns underneath it that when feeling the earth jumps to deviate more ends up being hit by some grazing, taking advantage As Hytori was using that magic she uses her howl again to hit him closely, Hytori without much distance tries to protect her body more and struck and has her face and arms injured.

The beast stares at him, knowing that that blow did not kill him as he had anticipated, Hytori looks at her and with his dagger in hand shoots her toward the dodging beast before her was Hytori who had thrown his dagger to distract her like this Deflecting her to the side to which he ran and then with his spear-like fist he struck her in the middle of the head and threw her against a nearby barn, the beast could barely move, the blow had been more accurate before his mind. if it was she let out one last howl that went right past Hyrori.

Hytori: - "She made a mistake?" - no!

He looks back and the howl goes towards where Kamero and Yashina was, his body filled with fury so time has stopped, he had felt it before, when he was unconscious time seemed to be stopped shortly before waking up and then felt her body disappear and reappear ahead of Yashina, Kamero and Aysa, as time began to move again. He didn't understand what happened but knew what he had to do now.

Hytori: -Barrier of darkness!

Their power emanated from the ground creating a dense black wall in front of them that protected them from the beast's blow.

Kamero: That's impossible.

Yashina: -... tori.

He looked back and saw his friends but his body was heavy and then it was all gone from his sight, he had passed out as usual after using that power. But then he felt something, his hand was warmed and soon his body warmed so he returned, and seeing who held his hand he smiled.

Hytori: -Yashina ...

Yashina: -Hytori!

Here were the couple who had been ordered by Kamero who, as much as they wanted, could not leave the house under any circ.u.mstances so they watched without being able to do anything and as soon as the battle was over they ran to help.

Kamero: -Look, for the first time you woke up right after you passed out using your magic. This is a breakthrough.

Yashia: You saved us, Hytori.

Kamero: -Good friend.

Hytori smile then says:

Hytori: Actually, it was you who saved me from the world I had been in prison for many years.

Yashina: -...

Kamero: -After said you can't go back, it's us who saved him, you heard, our merits

Hytori: It doesn't fill Kamero! I knew I had said nothing. - Face twisted in discontent.

Yashina starts crying out of nowhere, and Hytori gets worried.

Hytori: -Yashina, what's going on?

Yashina: No, I ... I'm happy.

Hytori didn't understand what she meant by that, but she knew very well what had made her happy, something that had long consumed her with a sense of guilt that she carries today.

Some time later they were taken inside, the lady knew some healing magic so she took care of Aysa, the night was gone and the sun was already on the horizon, soon after eating something they were preparing to return to the city.

Mr. Yamanaka: Thank you very much once again for everything.

Kamero: It was nothing, it's our job.

Ms. Yamanaka: Are you sure you won't want the money?

Kamero: -Yes, we did it as a favor, after all your barn needs to be rebuilt. The body of the beast was still inside. Our friend here half squashed threw the wolf there.

Hytori: -You speak as if you had control over it!

Mr. Yamanaka: -Then take this little contia in thanks and not in payment, so we can rebuild our barn and you can use it on your journey.

Aysa: -Thank you very much, -She was going to get the coin bag when ...

Kamero: -This time the money stays with me.

Aysa: -More ...

Kamero: -No more. - everyone laughs.

Yashina: -Thank you very much lady for the advice.

Mrs. Yamanaka: -Good luck my girl.

Hytori: -Advice ...

Kamero: -Good, let's go.

Aysa: Bye-bye and thank you for the good wine.

As soon as the 4 start walking towards town, Yashina still waving to the couple turns their gaze to Hytori who had been silent since they had left.

Yashina: Is something wrong?

Hytori: -That ...

He stops walking when he remembers when he was passed out and felt Yashina's hands wake him up.

Hytori: It's nothing.

Yashina: -There ...

She is interrupted by Kamero when she starts talking.

Kamero: -I'll both of you, come or not?

Aysa: -They are on a romantic date, Kamero don't disturb.

Hytori: -What are you talking about woman! We are friends, that's all.

They both blush so Yashina gives her a kiss on the cheek and runs off with a beautiful smile to Hytori to where was kamero and Aysa.

Hytori: -...

Kamero: -See you soon.

Aysa: -He looks silly.

Yashina: -We are Hytori, my best friend!

Hytori smiles and then looks at the sky and closes his eyes, just after opening them he runs towards the others.

Hytori: -It's crazy to eat something at that barbecue sale.

Aysa: -Kamero, part of those coins are mine too.

Kamero: Not after what you did.

Aysa: -What the information was right wasn't.

Kamero: - We almost lost our lives.

Aysa: -We more help the old couple.

Kamero: Even so you're reckless with money.

Aysa: -Yashina, help me.

Yashina: "Will I ever .."

As they drifted away their voices faded into the landscape, the wind was blowing that morning and everything is back to normal, that furious night had been passed successfully they were once again on their way to the future.
