Chapter 66 Pure Blue Slime
"Hmm? You are...?"
Mai Sakurajima looked at Natsuo with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?"
"Try pinching yourself first and see if you can feel any pain," Xia Sheng reminded her while glancing around warily.
Now is not the time to flirt with Mai Sakurajima.
This time, something truly strange happened; Yukino Yukinoshita and the others simply disappeared.
He wasn't sure if they hadn't come or had gone somewhere else, and he was a little worried.
It's good that they didn't come; if they had gone somewhere else, it would have been dangerous.
The slimes now are beyond their ability to handle.
"Not a dream...?"
Mai Sakurajima pinched her arm, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.
The pain was very noticeable.
This is really not a dream.
She should have realized it sooner. After all, if she hadn't woken up when she realized she was dreaming, she could have been sure it wasn't a dream.
Lucid dreaming?
She has never done that.
"Where exactly is this place? Why am I here?" Mai Sakurajima asked Natsumi calmly.
"I don't know why you're here, but you're here on a mission," Xia Sheng said sternly, turning to look at her.
"Task?"
"Yes, believe it or not, we're here to prevent invaders from invading our world." Xia Sheng looked at her seriously.
"Is that so?" Mai Sakurajima nodded and looked around.
She had never seen such a scene before. If this wasn't a dream, no one would believe it, right?
Filming a movie is out of the question; she's not on a film set, she's at home.
She remembered clearly that before she appeared here, she was lying in her bed at home, and her pajamas were still the same.
Was she brought here by the stranger in front of her?
That's highly unlikely.
"You believe it?" Natsumi asked curiously, seeing how calm Sakurajima Mai was.
"Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter, I can leave here, right?"
"As long as the mission is completed."
"OK."
Mai Sakurajima nodded, looking at Natsuo, certain that she didn't recognize him.
"Speaking of which, you just called me... senior?"
"Yes, I'm your junior, Xia Sheng." Xia Sheng introduced himself.
"Xia Sheng..."
It was a name she had never heard of before.
Would a normal person dream of someone they've never heard of or seen before?
The possibility that this is not a dream is still increasing.
"Xia Sheng, I'll remember you. If I can still remember you after I leave here, I'll come find you."
"Looking for me?"
"If this really isn't a dream, I should at least find out what's going on, right? Judging from your appearance, it doesn't seem like this is your first time here, right?" Mai Sakurajima asked calmly.
"Please be mindful of your words, senior."
Mai Sakurajima couldn't possibly go to his house to find him, so she'd have to wait until school started. But if she went to school, it would cause quite a commotion.
This is something that Yukino Yukinoshita coming to see him cannot compare to at all.
He became famous throughout the school.
It sounds like a great thing, with everyone around you envying and being jealous, but it also comes with all sorts of troubles.
Not to mention that people will come to him to ask about various situations, there will definitely be people who have feelings for Mai Sakurajima who will come to him.
There might be people threatening him.
There are many arrogant people who want to possess the person they like, especially teenagers. When their blood boils, they don't care about anything else.
School fights and stuff... wait, he doesn't seem to need to be afraid of that?
The attributes he improved—speed and strength—are reflected in his body; it's a real, tangible improvement for him.
Why should we be afraid of underage kids?
That's fine.
"How to strike a balance?"
Mai Sakurajima understood what he meant, but smiled faintly, her expression dazed: "If this isn't a dream..."
"Sakurajima-senpai?"
"fine."
Mai Sakurajima shook her head, her expression returning to normal, and changed the subject: "Natsuo-senpai, what mission are you talking about?"
"Over there," Xia Sheng gestured in the direction inside.
His danger perception reacted, and it worked here as well, allowing him to sense the slime's imminent appearance.
Mai Sakurajima looked in the direction Natsuo indicated; the space was dim, and there was nothing there.
But the next second, a blue blob appeared out of thin air.
"That is..." Sakurajima Mai's expression changed.
Is this the intruder?
Why does it look kind of...cute?
"That's a slime, an intruder. Don't be fooled by its harmless appearance; it's very aggressive and powerful. It can easily break these stone pillars," Xia Sheng explained, keeping a close watch on the appearing slime.
There is only one.
Not six!
What about the other five?
Could it be with Yukino and the others?
Xia Sheng couldn't help but worry.
Moreover, this slime is completely different from the previous ones.
The previous blue slime only had a hint of blue inside, but this one is completely blue.
Has it gotten stronger again?
"It can break a stone pillar? Really?" Mai Sakurajima looked at the stone pillar, which was about the same thickness as her body, and couldn't imagine that the cute, jelly-like creature could break it.
However, Xia Sheng's serious expression didn't seem fake.
"Sakurajima-senpai, step back. This time, it might be very dangerous." Natsuo stepped forward and stood in front of Sakurajima Mai.
"This time? Dangerous?"
"Now is not the time to explain. I will explain it to you later. I need to deal with this slime first."
"You...I understand." Sakurajima Mai took two steps back, moving away from Natsumi.
She wasn't oblivious to the situation; she had just arrived, and Xia Sheng was more familiar with the place than she was, so she should follow instructions.
This junior is trustworthy for now because he doesn't look at her with prejudice, even though she's dressed very scantily.
Mai Sakurajima was still confident in herself; anyone who saw her like this would not be able to remain calm.
Xia Sheng, however, did not react at all.
She felt it wasn't that she lacked appeal, but rather that the place was indeed very dangerous.
She had always been wary of Xia Sheng. In this unfamiliar place, with only a man and a woman alone, if he wanted to do something, she wouldn't be able to resist at all.
Whether this is a dream, or Xia Sheng isn't a bad person, or whether this place is truly dangerous, we'll have to wait and see.
Natsuo had no idea what Sakurajima Mai was thinking. In fact, he did want to talk to her more, but the timing just wasn't right.
Today, this place is entirely unknown.
He became more vigilant, inching closer to the pure blue slime, his inner alarm bells ringing continuously.
That was his sense of danger alerting him.
This pure blue slime is dangerous!
Standing far away, Xia Sheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. He felt as if he had been locked onto.
The pure blue slime was staring at him.
In the next instant, the slime suddenly moved quickly and rushed towards Xia Sheng.
It was crawling on the ground, but it moved as if it had legs, and it was very fast and agile.
In the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of Xia Sheng, then leaped high and crashed into him like a cannonball.
Xia Sheng quickly ducked to avoid its charge, then rolled forward to get away from it.
boom--!
He heard the sound of a stone pillar breaking behind him, and Xia Sheng immediately turned around to look.
Amidst the rubble, the slime landed on the ground, then turned around and locked onto him again.
This slime has no intention of running away; its target is Natsuki!
Moreover, its speed is already approaching his.
Without hesitation, Xia Sheng added that attribute point to speed.
