It was going to be a normal day, or so i thought...

★☆★☆

"Everyone, run! Monsters!"

The town's in chaos as a horde of monsters started to attack. The people started to ran away while the adventurers use the opportunity to earn some cash.

It was a sudden for us since May was still beating me up while the horde approaches us. She felt stiff as she couldn't move her body while the monsters were so close.

Ah, dammit!

"Crix...?"

If she dies or something, the king will send me back to hell. I aint going back there!

"Run! I don't want you to get hurt."

"..."

I went to face the monsters as i pick up a nearby sword that one of the adventurers drop. The adventurer ran away while forgetting his sword. Maybe i should use this opportunity to score som-

"Owowowowow. Why did you do that?"

"...idiot! I'm the hero right?

"..."

...Damn. but...

"And i'm the knight who will protect you. Got it."

"...Yeah."

She blush a little as she begins go grin while we face off the horde of monsters. We may not suvive this battle, but i, at least will protect the hero...

★☆★☆

Well...that was anti-climatic.

There were many corpses around, monster corpses. The adventurers were shock as i had defeated some of the monsters. But as i turn around...

"My god..."

There were also monster corpses, but twice or thrice as much as mine. May brush off the blood as she begins to grin at me.

"Hehehe, i win."

Beautiful...

"Beautiful..."

"..."

What? You were beautiful. Why are you angry at me?

"Why can't you-"

"Watch ou-"

A beam of light appreared as i push May away. The beam pass though my chest as i begin to cough up blood. May became shocked as there was a hole through my stomach. A loud voice begins to laugh.

"Fools! Do you think that you-"

"Shut up!"

Before it could continue, it was cut in half as May glared at it with hate.

It didn't even finish his introduction and was kill of as if he was nothing. May rushes to me as her hand was covering the wound.

"Crix! Don't die!"

.........................

"Please, don't...i love you...please..."

.........................

"Crix...?"

.........................

"Crix! Nooo!"

.........................

"Uuuu....."

"Miss? I think you should get away-"

"Shut up! He's still alive right?"

"Yeah, but your killing him."

"..."

★☆★☆

I was at a inn where there was the two of us. The room became awkward as i spoke first.

"Um...May?"

"..."

"About the thing you said,"

"Uuuu...."

May begins to cry as i was about go repreat the word she said. She cover her ears as she didn't want to hear it. But i continued...

"'I love...'"

"Uuuuu..."

"'...Run?'"

"Eh?"

"You love running, right? Hahaha, i thought you said you love me. Hahah-"

"IDIOT! IDIOT! IDIOT! IDDDDDDIIIIIOOOOOOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!"

"Owowowowowowowowo, i still not recov-owowowow"

"Uuuuu...."

★☆★☆

Troubles keep rising as i'm with her. But its fun to have someone that can adventure with. She was the hero who will save the world and i am just the knight that follows her in her journey. We will face all that as i will protect the hero. Thats how i protect a hero...

Arc 1 End.

**************

Arc here,

This is the end of the Htpah's arc. The first 5 chapters were short since i didn't now the basic length of a single chapter but as i wrote this, there was one thing on my mind...

Dense Motherfucker. Right, the MC is a fucking dense. But i like the outcome of the story, even if i suck at grammar. Anyway, i hope you like the story and i will see you in the next arc ( or my other stories.) See ya!

Arcadia Blade, signing out.
