Chapter 118 Yuki Suoh Joins the Battle
Breakfast was eaten peacefully and quietly.
Xia Sheng never imagined that he would be able to have breakfast with them so soon.
This is all thanks to his hard work.
Although it was nice to have dinner with everyone, he didn't want a repeat of last night's situation.
It's still too dangerous.
Unfortunately, he could only become stronger passively, facing danger first and then improving his strength, unable to make adequate preparations.
If he can actively become stronger and cultivate, there's no need to worry about so much.
Perhaps it's time to try some possibilities.
After breakfast, Yukino and the others didn't rush back, but went to Mahiru Shiina's house together.
Yuki Suoh did not go with them.
After all, that place had nothing to do with her, and it wasn't appropriate to tell her about it.
At Shiina Mahiru's house, Sakurajima Mai recounted what happened on the first floor the previous night, while Yukino Yukinoshita Yukinoshita recounted what happened on the second floor.
"Will that big goblin show up tonight?" Yui Yuigahama asked worriedly after hearing the question.
"It's hard to say..." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head uncertainly.
"Yui, don't worry, even if there's a big goblin tonight, we'll be able to handle it," Natsumi said with a smile, trying to reassure her.
"Natsuo, what do you mean?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him, guessing what might be the case.
"Yes, I have an even more powerful weapon now," Xia Sheng nodded and admitted.
"What is it?"
"Iron sword."
"Iron sword...is it for fighting big goblins?" Yukino Yukinoshita immediately understood the weapon's purpose.
"It seems the wooden sword isn't enough to deal with that big goblin."
"Why is this weapon...a reward, only given after we've dealt with the goblins?" Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but ask, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction.
If they had had new weapons sooner, Xia Sheng wouldn't have had to fight so hard.
"I'm curious too," Yui Yuigahama added.
Even though she hadn't seen Natsumi's miserable state last night, Yukino Yukinoshita's description was enough to make her feel sorry for him.
"Perhaps, that place couldn't predict the arrival of the intruders," Yukino Yukinoshita guessed.
"Unpredictable?"
"That place definitely wants to eliminate the invaders completely, otherwise they wouldn't have given Xia Sheng a reward. However, the strength of the invaders is not determined by it, and it cannot provide timely support."
"I think so too, otherwise the reward given to Natsuo wouldn't have been a weapon that was exactly what he needed to deal with him," Mai Sakurajima agreed.
"In that case, aren't we always in a passive position?" Shiina Mahiru continued to ask.
"Trust that place, if it doesn't want to be occupied by invaders..." Yukino Yukinoshita gently comforted him.
"Alright, so what should we do now?"
"Make yourself stronger first, so you won't become a burden."
"Then we can only...:." Yui Yuigahama hesitated, looking at Natsuo.
"You obtained magic from Natsuo, right?" Mai Sakurajima chimed in.
Her words silenced everyone, and they all looked at Xia Sheng, intentionally or unintentionally.
Of the four people present, two have already gained magical powers.
Whether magic works or not is one thing, but whether it has any effect or not is another matter entirely.
Without magic, one can do nothing at all.
They all knew this.
Xia Sheng remained calm, keeping quiet as everyone watched; it wasn't the right time for him to speak.
They made the decision; he just needed to cooperate.
By noon, Yukino and the others had left, as there was no point in them staying any longer.
After all, everyone is here, so even if we want to do something, we can't.
Perhaps because Sakurajima Mai pointed it out, Shiina Mahiru seemed a little unhappy again.
She did not eat lunch with Xia Sheng and the others.
Natsuo could only eat the spicy set meal made by Suoh Yuki. Fortunately, he wasn't too afraid of spicy food, and she went easy on him.
In the afternoon, Natsuo began drawing illustrations for the third volume of "Konosuba". Suo Yuki, who had nothing else to do, followed him to the studio and watched him draw for the entire afternoon.
No one disturbed him during that time.
Every time Xia Sheng finished a drawing, she would excitedly take it and admire it carefully.
She is indeed a loyal fan of "Konosuba". "Cousin, what would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."
"That's so good?"
"After all, my cousin showed me some good stuff~ I feel like I've grown a lot."
"You're not studying, so what growth are you talking about?" Xia Sheng found it strange.
"It's all the same, so I'm going to mess with my cousin, hmph~"
"Just put in less chili."
"No problem! What would you like to eat, cousin?"
"Let me think... I'm quite interested in hamburger patties," Natsumi said after a moment's thought.
"Hamburger patties? Got it, just leave it to me!" Suoh Yuki patted her chest and walked towards the kitchen.
Xia Sheng watched her lively figure disappear into the distance, smiled, and went back to his room.
He took his phone, lay on the bed, looked at the messages Yui Yuigahama had sent him, replied to a couple of messages, and then messaged Mahiru Shiina.
Savior: [Aren't we having dinner together tonight?]
Shiina Mahiru: [I'm not in the mood.]
Savior: [Don't be jealous. It can't be helped. You weren't like this last night.]
Shiina Mahiru: [I'm not jealous.]
Savior: [Then why don't you eat with us?]
Shiina Mahiru: [I'm in a bad mood.]
Savior: [...Then, what about the experiment?]
Shiina Mahiru: [What kind of experiment?]
Savior: [We don't yet have the ability to test whether we can share this information.]
Shiina Mahiru: [You wish! Getting handsy like that, how wicked!]
Savior: [My right hand has its own ideas; don't blame me.]
Shiina Mahiru: [...]
Natsumi and Shiina Mahiru chatted for a long time, which calmed her down a lot, but she still didn't come to have dinner together.
He could only eat with Yuki Suoh.
Yuki Suo's hamburger patties were pretty good, and not spicy at all, so Natsuo was very satisfied with his meal.
After dinner, Natsuo and Suoh Yuki went back to their respective rooms.
Natsumi chatted with Yui Yuigahama on LINE for a long time, until late at night, before finally going to sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was the same place again.
"Natsuo~" Yui Yuigahama walked towards him with a bright smile.
"Okay, come and do an experiment with me." Xia Sheng took her hand.
"What kind of experiment is this?" Yui Yuigahama looked up at him, blinking nervously.
"I want to see if you can use the wooden sword." Xia Sheng took out the wooden sword.
"Oh, so that's what it is..."
"What did you think it was? You don't want to kiss me, do you?" Xia Sheng looked at her amusedly.
"No way!" Yui Yuigahama denied, blushing, and took the wooden sword to try to imbue it with magic.
"It still doesn't work."
"Perhaps you don't have enough magic. I'll give you some magic."
"Th-that doesn't mean..." Yui Yuigahama's heart raced.
"Come here." Xia Sheng hugged her and slowly leaned closer.
Yui Yuigahama immediately closed her eyes and gripped the wooden sword in her hand tightly.
The next moment, she felt a touch on her lips and smelled Xia Sheng's scent on her nose. She couldn't help but hug Xia Sheng's lower back tightly.
Xia Sheng hugged her tightly, pried open the lock, and after binding her, he prepared to transfer his magic to her.
However, a familiar voice interrupted him.
"cousin?"
"!" Yui Yuigahama shoved Natsumi away abruptly, looking incredulously toward the source of the sound.
"Y-Yuki?"
Upon recognizing the owner of the voice, Yui Yuigahama blushed deeply, feeling both embarrassed and agitated.
"Yui-senpai... were you just talking to your cousin..." Suoh Yuki hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
She saw that scene clearly.
But doesn't my cousin like Mahiru-senpai?
Why did he kiss Yui-senpai?
"This, this..." Yui Yuigahama felt shy and could only look to Natsuo for help.
Natsuo didn't seem to care. He looked at Suoh Yuki, who was wearing only a thin nightgown, and said as expected, "Yuki, you're here too."
"What? I'm here too...? Where am I? What place is this? How did I get here? Am I dreaming?"
Yuki Suoh then realized her surroundings and couldn't help but look around curiously.
"Yuki."
Xia Sheng stopped her and explained in a serious tone, "This is not a dream. It's dangerous here. We're here to defend against invaders."
Protect the world.
