Chapter 145 How about we eat slime?
"Can you take out your weapon? Let Mahiru try it first."
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama's magic has been taken back by Natsuo, and now only Mahiru Shiina has magic.
"Okay." Natsumi took out the wooden sword and handed it to Shiina Mahiru, who had transformed into an ostrich.
"Mahiru, don't be shy, let's continue the experiment." He teased.
......knew."
Shiina Mahiru wasn't someone who didn't know her place; she answered from the ground, then hesitated before raising her head.
Her face was flushed red, extending to her earlobes, and her eyes were misty, making her look pitiful.
Seeing her like this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but blink, his heart fluttering.
She's so delicate and lovable that she's almost too precious to be true.
He had an urge to tease her right away, but unfortunately, everyone was there.
Shiina Mahiru had no idea of Natsuo's wicked intentions. She took the wooden sword, channeled her magic, and tried to attach it to the sword.
However, the magical power within her, which was much greater than before, was unwilling to leave her body.
In other words, she still cannot imbue her magic into the weapon.
"no.
"Try this one again." Natsumi handed the iron sword to Shiina Mahiru, who returned the wooden sword to Natsumi. She took the iron sword, tested its weight, and found it to be just right before trying to imbue it with magic.
But it still didn't work.
"No..." Shiina Mahiru shook her head helplessly.
"So it didn't work after all." Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, not at all surprised.
"Why is this happening? We already have magic power, so why can't we use weapons?" Mai Sakurajima asked curiously.
"Perhaps... the relationship isn't strong enough," Yukino Yukinoshita replied. "Relationship?"
"At this point, I don't intend to hide my guesses anymore, but you can just listen to whatever you want," Yukino Yukinoshita said, looking at everyone.
She and Shiina Mahiru exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a message.
Both of them had actually guessed at a certain possibility, but they just didn't mention it.
"Yukino, you're being so serious. Is it something really serious?" Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but ask.
"Not really... but it depends on the person and the feelings," Yukino Yukinoshita replied hesitantly.
"Feelings?" Yui Yuigahama glanced at Natsuo.
"It's very simple, it's about having a closer and more intimate relationship with Natsuo," Yukino Yukinoshita said directly.
"A closer relationship... Could it be?" Yui Yuigahama suddenly realized, her face flushing and her heart pounding.
"Yes." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently.
"What does that mean?" Suoh Yuki still didn't understand.
"It's just..." Yui Yuigahama whispered in her ear.
"Eh!" Upon hearing this, Suoh Yuki exclaimed in surprise, her face turning bright red as she looked at Natsuo.
"Do you want to do 'that' with my cousin?"
She hasn't even kissed her cousin yet, and she's already expected to learn something even more incredible.
too fast.
"Is your guess accurate?" Mai Sakurajima asked Yukino Yukinoshita calmly.
She could understand it perfectly well.
"It's just my guess, but the possibility is quite high," Yukino Yukinoshita replied.
"That's certainly very possible." Mai Sakurajima nodded.
If kissing is the only way to transfer magic, then it makes perfect sense that sharing abilities would require going a step further.
She's been free lately and has been reading a lot of novels about other worlds, so she's not unaware of this possibility.
However, understanding is one thing, taking action is another.
As Yukino Yukinoshita said, this involves feelings, her relationship with Natsuo, but it hasn't even reached the point of having feelings like kissing.
"Then... does that mean I should... talk to Natsuo...?" Yui Yuigahama hesitated, her face flushed with shyness, wanting to look at Natsuo but not daring to.
Everyone couldn't help but look at her, because the way she looked made it seem like she really wanted to take action.
"Yui, you don't need to be in such a hurry." Shiina Mahiru's eyes flickered, and she soothed her gently.
"Misunderstanding? I... I'm not in a hurry." Yui Yuigahama blushed and hurriedly shook her head in denial.
"and you?"
"I was just asking... And what if the intruders get stronger? We're powerless to help Xia Sheng, and if we get targeted, we'll just become a hindrance to him... :.:"
"The possibility of the invaders becoming stronger is indeed very high," Yukino Yukinoshita added.
"What do you mean?" Shiina Mahiru frowned as she looked at her.
"Natsuo's sudden increase in strength may have been caused by that place, to enable him to deal with the dangers to come," Yukino Yukinoshita speculated.
"Will it become more dangerous...?"
Everyone fell silent.
They were not people who wanted to run away, but they were also truly powerless to do anything.
If they had the ability, they wouldn't have given Xia Sheng a chance to make a move.
But to have the ability, you have to give it your all.
They naturally had no aversion to Xia Sheng, having spent a considerable amount of time with him and gained a good understanding of his character.
But what will happen to them all after they've all been with him?
To stay together forever, without getting involved in anything deeper?
Have they maintained this abnormal relationship all along?
A life philosophy formed over a decade or more is not so easily changed, even when it involves life-threatening situations.
They were willing to give everything for their lives, after all, Xia Sheng wasn't a stranger; they knew him first before considering the situation.
But it's not romantic enough.
At their age, they also crave romance.
It's really hard to accept giving oneself up in a business-like manner.
Moreover, there are others.
We can't just treat Xia Sheng as a tool, can we?
They never imagined they would be in a romantic relationship with someone they needed to share with.
But now, we have to think about this issue again.
"It's alright," Xia Sheng said softly, drawing everyone's attention.
"I am strong now and can protect you properly. You don't need to struggle with things you don't want to do."
"Natsuo..." Yui Yuigahama murmured as she looked at him.
"Besides, that kind of thing isn't always effective. Let's look at other methods."
"Are there any other methods?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him expressionlessly, her tone slightly cold.
"What if something really goes wrong? This is no time for jokes."
"Then are you willing?" Xia Sheng looked at her, his expression serious, and asked in return.
"I..." Yukino Yukinoshita said.
"If you yourself are unwilling, you can't expect everyone else to be willing, can you?"
"I didn't say... I didn't want to..." Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her head and responded softly.
"What?" Xia Sheng was stunned for a moment, looking at her in disbelief, wondering if he had misheard.
The others also looked at her.
Her voice was very soft, but the people here could hear it very clearly.
"It's nothing." Yukino Yukinoshita raised her head, her expression returning to calm, as if she hadn't said anything at all.
"Since you said you're looking for other methods, what direction do you have in mind?" she asked, changing the subject.
"Yes, there is... it just depends on whether you dare to do it." Xia Sheng didn't press further; he suspected that Yukino Yukinoshita was just talking nonsense.
"Do you dare?"
"It's simple, eat the flesh and blood of the invaders," Xia Sheng said calmly, glancing around at everyone.
By devouring their flesh and blood and digesting their energy, one might gain their abilities.
This was something Xia Sheng had wanted to do before, if he hadn't awakened and strengthened himself.
Now, he doesn't need it anymore.
However, perhaps Yukino Yukinoshita and the others could.
"This..." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, pondering the possibility.
"You mean, you want us to eat slimes and goblins?" Mai Sakurajima asked with a look of disgust.
"This is the only method I can think of."
"Eek—" Yui Yuigahama pouted, her expression conflicted.
"This... I just can't bring myself to eat it."
"How can we not try if we want to become stronger, protect ourselves, and stay safe?" Xia Sheng retorted.
"Then it would be better to...:::" Yui Yuigahama looked at him, hesitant to speak, her eyes darting away.
Her meaning was quite clear.
Xia Sheng was naturally happy, but he couldn't show it.
"Goblins are a bit... but slimes being like jelly isn't good either?"
"The main thing is that we already know about them..." Shiina Mahiru's expression was hard to hide.
She wasn't really comfortable with the suggestion either.
"Then, shall I try it for you first?"
