Hogo No Yujin (Protective Friend)
Episode 70 – Rescue Mission

Tanaka Dan Zai has just finished installing a new door to replace the broken door of the house. Lastly, Zai tightened his bolts, then he stood back up and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Anjay is so."

"We both did it." Tanaka clenched his hands and raised them. They fight boxing as warm and peaceful greetings. Then after that, exhausted, the two of them came in and leaned on the sofa.

The situation in the house is also rearranged neatly as before. Damaged things, just thrown away.

Before long, Fely came to bring cold drinks to his two hard-working friends. "Thank you, yeah. But don't make it up again, okay?"

"Ready!" Tanaka and Zai nodded steadily. Then they drank the drink that was given by Fely until it ran out. Shortly after, Asuka returned to the living room to tell her something.

"They're coming." Asuka said, then before long, there was a knock on the door from the front. When Fely wanted to open it, Asuka forbade him. He will open the door.

"What exactly is it?" Fely. All eyes were on the door and the figure of Asuka was about to open the door.

But instantly, Zai felt a great force from behind the door and seemed to recognize the aura. "I–It's kan–"

"Eh, don't tell me that–" Looks like Lea feels the same way.

"A–what? What's?" Takana looks confused because he doesn't know anything. But her brother remained seated casually, then before long her eyes glanced at the front door that Asuka had just opened with a smile.

After Asuka opened the door, the woman also smiled and welcomed the new guest. "Finally .. You came too. Lenard–Dono."

"Do–Dono?!" Takana was shocked to hear his rank. As soon as Lea made Takana bow respectfully to Chairman Oniroshi with the highest rank in the world, he was her teacher of Oniroshi. Everyone immediately bowed respectfully to him.

"Sir .. I want es–" Dylan came out of the room about to take a drink. He saw a stranger at the door. "Eh, who are you?"

"Dy–Dylan!!" Fely immediately snapped at him because his sister was considered disrespectful. The woman approached Dylan and forced him to bow before Chairman Oniroshi.

"For this time, Dylan. Be polite." whispered Fely with a sharp look. Dylan just nodded stiffly. He wanted to go back to his room, but his brother forbade him. "Don't be alone. Come here!"

"Ah troublesome."

"Ma–maaf if I'm presumptuous. I just wanted to ask you about your purpose in coming to this world." Divan said with doubt.

"Ooh .. He came to pick you up to the Academy." Asuka answered him. But Lenard shook her head slowly.

"No. Not only that. I came here because I felt a great power that would threaten the lives of the creatures of this world. Plus ..." The man pulled out a bubble ball. "I found this from the woods. Looks like it belongs to your friend."

Takana was surprised to see it. "Eh, this bubble is like power ...."

Lenard stabbed the bubble. Not that it broke, but the bubble let out a familiar voice in everyone's ears.

" ... A–I need your help .. hah .. please help. I was hunted by Onirida and I couldn't hold out much longer. There's poison going into my body .. ugh .. important now ... I want Bella to be safe ....."

As long as the sound came out, the bubble slowly began to shrink. When his voice was no longer heard, the bubble disappeared. It seemed like a short message sent from Irvan through the air and power intermediaries.

"He was why?" Zai called because he did not listen to her clearly. Unfortunately, no one answered. "Okay, I'm fine."

"Let's go!" takana exclaimed with her usual spirit. Everyone gets ready. Felly's carrying supplies. Because of his role as a supporter, so he only brought food and medicine boxes.

But before everyone left, Lenard wanted to say something. He looked back. Then before long, there appeared a person peeking out from his burly body.

Takana looked at the man. It looks cute in his eyes too. "Eh, who are you?"

"He's Shikoo." Answer Zai. "I think he'll be needed if there's a precarious situation."

"Your friends from the academy?"

"Yes." Yeah." Zai nodded. "He was shy, so he rarely spoke. But you don't underestimate him. He was one of the best students of Lenard-Dono."

"Ah souka .. I want to be good friends with her."

"Come everyone! We're off to save your friend!" Asuka exclaimed, then kept the ice bow she had prepared. Everyone followed Asuka away. Except for Lenard who no longer has the power. He could only pray for his students to return home safely.

...****************...

"Huh .. Why am I following them all?" dylan was carrying Tanaka on his back. After hearing Dylan mutter like that, Tanaka just chuckled, then advanced his running speed on top of the tall building. Having gotten used to it, Dylan was no longer afraid.

It didn't take long, everyone reached the forest. At that instant, Lea sent a wave of signals throughout the forest until it could be reached for several kilometers. It allows Lea to track someone from afar. Shortly thereafter, the shoots of the plant above his head moved westward. "He was there. Westbound about 30 yards from here."

"OK let's go! No one separates!" Asuka prepares her bow and runs after Lea because only the girl knows where Irvan and Bella are.

Takana clasped Dylan's hand and pulled him. They ran together and subconsciously, the two began to merge.

...****************...

"Huh .. hah ..." Irvan continued running without any clear direction. His energy was running out, but he kept on using the Protective Bubble. Just in case a sudden attack appears. The man was still holding Bella.

"Purpose ... Irvan ...?"

"Are you conscious?"

"Eh what is this? Why are you carrying me?!" Bell immediately rebelled asking to be taken down. Frankly, Irvan could not do so as he still sensed the presence of Onirida nearby.

"Stay, Bell. We're being chased" Irvan said.

Not yet had time to answer, suddenly appeared a mochi bomb right in front of Irvan's face. The man did not escape and the mochi exploded. The explosion caused Irvan and Bell to bounce off several meters and his Protective Bubble instantly broke.

Irvan and Bell were also several meters apart. But not far. As soon as he hit the tree, Irvan immediately got back up while touching his sick arm. "Ah, Bell. Run!"

"What?!" Bella stood up again. He wanted to approach Irvan, but suddenly Lucia appeared from the top of the tree. Reflex, Bell immediately retreated backwards.

The demon girl threw away her gum, then brought up some mochi that wanted to be fired at Irvan. The man unleashed his detached power to strike back if the time came.

But when he wanted to let out his aura, suddenly his neck felt like it had been pierced by something. Haven't had a chance to look, his gaze immediately blurred and instantly fell unconscious.

"Irvana!!" Bell wanted to approach his darling, but suddenly a mochi bomb exploded in front of his feet. The girl was shocked and fell. Fortunately, it only takes a little.

"Little child, stay there," Lucia said in a creepy tone. He looked at his brother in front of him. Who else if not Lucid? The man with the snake whip appeared suddenly behind Irvan and the snake immediately bit Irvan's neck.

"Wleeek .. I got him first." Lucid stepped on Irvan's body, then stroked his pet head.

"You didn't kill him, did you?"

"You think my snake venom can only kill?!"

"... yes it's fast let's take him–" Not just stepped forward, suddenly an ice arrow stuck in front of Lucia's feet. At once, an ice crystal appeared that froze the girl's legs. "Ugh ... What is this?!"

Lucia wanted to make Mochi Bomb to release it from the ice, but suddenly a blue fireball shot her hand and detonated the Mochi Bomb in front of her face. "Akh shit!"

"Eh?!" Lucid turned to the side. He was surprised by the appearance of the Oniroshi who had surrounded him. The man pulls Irvan's rear collar and intends to escape by carrying the body of his prey. But suddenly he couldn't move. Upon sighting, it turned out that his legs had been wrapped around by the many roots of the surrounding trees.

Then before long, the ground beneath him shook. Instantly formed a deep hole under his feet. The devil fell into the hole. Tanaka uses her tentacles to pull Irvan's body and protect her.

Shortly after, Zai emerged from the underground and instantly clenched his hands. Instantly, the hole in which Lucid's body was located immediately closed. The devil was buried alive in there.

"Te–friends!" Bell looked happy once help had arrived. Takana approached her friend and immediately hugged her. "You gapapa?"

"Huum ... but Irvan–"

"Please, please" Takana patted Bell's head and stroked her back. "He'll be treated by Brother Felly. It'll be fine."

Bell nodded, then Takana invited Bell to join the others. Tanaka hands Irvan over to Felly for him to check. Lea will also help his recovery.

"Wah~ did you really bury him alive?" tanaka asked in disbelief while nudging Zai's body. Zai who felt uneasy also pushed Tanaka to fall from the top of the tree.

"Ugh, why are you pushing me?!" Tanaka stood up quickly. "When I die, what?!"

"Your own fault is not clear! I almost fell too, you know!"

"They were fighting mutely all four." Dylan's insistent mind heard the loud voices of his two friends. He closed his ears, then glanced in the other direction. His gaze unintentionally saw a black cat that had peeked out from another tree. But as soon as Dylan saw it, the cat disappeared. "Eh?"

"What's up, Dylan?" tanya Takana while approaching her.

"I saw the cat."

"Where? There's no tuh."

"Have forgotten."

Asuka pointed her arrow at Lucia who was still trapped with the ice crystal. The woman approached the demon. "You've been arrested. Injuring my students and making a fuss in the human world. You'll be arrested by Heiwa's side."

"Can you?" Lucia grinning. Then suddenly the ground around them shook violently like an earthquake. Asuka asked everyone to stay away from the place, but it was too late. Lucid came out from within the ground and directly swung his whip to the earth strongly.

BOOM!!

The explosion occurred as soon as the whip hit the ground. The Oniroshi were thrown away, as well as the trees around them. In an instant, everything was swept away by the ground and dust. The former whip lashed it until it formed a small crater, the surrounding land shattered and cracked.

Asuka landed safely. So too with the others. Fortunately, they were not thrown too far and did not suffer great damage.

Lucid landed his feet in front of the crater he made. "Heh, do you think I'm buried so I'm going to die?! Earth elements! How could I possibly die from the ground."

Lucia formed the Mochi Bomb, then shattered the ice crystal that was holding her legs. After that he formed a large Mochi which was then detonated and appeared an air rifle belonging to him. "Let's fight them. Don't let us disappoint Wan."

Lucid grinning. Then he slashed his whip to the back of the body. Instantly the trees behind him were instantly cut into two. "Please be very disturbing. Let's get rid of these fucking Oniroshi!"

"Everything ready! Let no one be caught off guard!" asuka's orders prepare her flagship weapon. The other Oniroshi also prepared their own elements and weapons. "Shikoo, let's get started!"

Shikoo nodded. He attacked, then put both hands together. "Dimenshonshifuta." After mentioning his Mana name, Shikoo immediately opened his hands and instantly formed a giant protective dome that surrounded them including Lucid and Lucia as well. "My money!"

Shikoo again removed the transparent dome, then hid behind Asuka. He had just copied the previous world and moved it to another dimension. That way, willing to fight any weight, they would not damage the nature of the original world.
