Chapter 29 The Nayuhahama Experiment
"Ah! I'm here again!"
"Good evening, Yuihama."
Natsumi waved and greeted Yui Yuigahama, who was wearing cute pink pajamas.
"Natsuo, good evening... no, now is not the time to greet him!" Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but make a self-deprecating remark.
Because the two of them came to this special place together again.
A week later.
As Yui Yuigahama looked around, she said, "I was wondering before I went to sleep if I would ever come here, and I never thought I would actually end up here..."
Her tone conveyed a sense of relief, rather than dislike.
She hasn't come here for the past few days, and she's starting to wonder if she'll ever be able to come back.
Fortunately, she wasn't abandoned.
"You seem really excited?" Xia Sheng noticed the excitement in her eyes.
"I'm not really looking forward to it... but I'm relieved." Yui Yuigahama smiled faintly.
"This is not a good place, it's very dangerous," Xia Sheng said, frowning as he reminded her.
"I know, but I was forced to come here anyway, so I guess I have no choice but to face it?" Yui Yuigahama asked back with an unchanged smile.
"...That's one way of saying it."
"Xia Sheng, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless, I'll listen to you."
"In that case..."
After thinking for a moment, Natsumi realized that since Yui Yuigahama was willing to listen to him, there was no need to emphasize any danger.
After all, he couldn't stop her from coming, so it was better to let her face it positively than to live in fear.
Moreover, he came with her and could take care of her.
Coincidentally, he was also planning to conduct an experiment.
"Natsuo, a slime has appeared!" Yui Yuigahama warned in a low voice.
"Yes, I saw it." Xia Sheng stared at the white slime, his expression calm.
Today, just one slime.
Is it really just one slime... or rather, one intruder every day?
And no one else appeared with them.
Is it because there are so many slimes that Shiina Mahiru also appeared yesterday?
There are many things I don't understand, but some things must be verified.
"Yuihama, you said you'd listen to me, right?"
"Yes... but you can't make me do anything too outrageous..." Yui Yuigahama replied cautiously.
"Something excessive?" Natsumi looked at Yui Yuigahama's timid expression and understood what she meant.
"What kind of person do you take me for?"
"Huh? Natsumi, do you mean I'm not charming?"
"...Please be mindful of the situation." Xia Sheng shook his head, pointing it out helplessly.
What's going on in that brain of yours?
Moreover, does he seem like that kind of person?
"Um..." Yui Yuigahama was embarrassed and didn't dare to look at him.
"First of all, Yuihama, you are cute and charming, but I am not the kind of person who forces others. Also, this place is not suitable for doing anything inappropriate for children," Natsumi emphasized irritably.
"Um... I'm sorry."
"I think you have paranoia, and you've misunderstood me like this. We're friends, after all," Xia Sheng couldn't help but scold.
"I'm so sorry!" Yui Yuigahama bowed her head in embarrassment and apologized.
"Yuihama, you've disappointed me so much."
"I'm sorry! Please forgive me, I'll do anything you ask!" Yui Yuigahama bowed at a ninety-degree angle, her attitude exceptionally sincere.
"Now you're saying things like that again? Aren't you afraid I'll ask you to do something excessive?"
"I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore." Yui Yuigahama shook her head without looking up.
Her bun was undone, revealing a head of soft, short, light brown hair that swayed and emitted a pleasant fragrance.
"Sigh." Xia Sheng sighed. Seeing her humble attitude, he couldn't bear to say anything more to her.
"Raise your head first, and take care of the important matters first."
"Yes..." Yui Yuigahama weakly raised her head, glanced at Natsuo, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was indeed not angry.
"Listen to my instructions later," Xia Sheng said, looking at the slime.
"Okay, okay!" Yui Yuigahama adjusted her emotions and boosted her spirits.
Xia Sheng searched around but couldn't find any broken stones. The broken stone pillar had actually been repaired, as if nothing had happened last night.
Then we'll have to resort to more destruction, since fists won't work.
Xia Sheng slowly approached the slime, stopping just before it reached its attack range.
He adjusted his position, leaning against the stone pillar, and then approached the slime again, stepping into its attack range.
Swish-!
The slime suddenly leaped up and crashed into Natsumi.
Xia Sheng easily dodged to the side, and the slime crashed into the stone pillar without stopping.
boom--!
The stone pillar was easily broken, and rubble flew everywhere.
Taking advantage of the situation, Natsuo grabbed two pieces of rubble and threw one of them at Yui Yuigahama.
"Catch it."
"Huh?"
Yui Yuigahama was stunned for a moment, then caught the rubble helplessly.
"Xia Sheng?" she asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"I'll draw the slime's attack in a bit, and you can take the opportunity to smash it to death with a rock," Xia Sheng explained.
He planned to see if they would receive any reward for dealing with the slime.
It's not enough for him to be the only one to receive rewards and become stronger.
"Eh—I, I'm going to deal with the slime?" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed, looking completely incredulous.
"Didn't you say you'd listen to me?" Natsumi said while seducing the slime.
"But...but..."
"If you listen to me, I will forgive you completely."
"I......"
"Don't hesitate, just do as I say!" Xia Sheng emphasized, giving a direct order.
"Yes!" Yui Yuigahama was startled and blurted out the reply.
"Good, come closer slowly. Slimes won't attack targets more than a meter away."
"yes......"
Helpless, Yui Yuigahama gripped the stone tightly and nervously moved closer to Natsuo.
Natsumi kept luring the slime to attack, and when Yui Yuigahama finally came closer, he stepped into the slime's attack range.
The slime leaped up.
"Now!" Xia Sheng avoided giving orders.
"ah--!"
Yui Yuigahama shouted, steeled her heart, grabbed the stone and lunged at the slime, smashing it hard the moment it hit the ground.
Splat!
The slime instantly turned into a puddle of jelly.
"Huff—huff—" Yui Yuigahama slumped to the ground, breathing heavily with relief.
"Well done." Natsumi smiled and came to Yui Yuigahama's side, ruffling her soft hair as a sign of praise.
"You promised to forgive me..." Yui Yuigahama reminded her.
"Don't worry, I forgive you." Xia Sheng smiled and shook his head.
"That's good...hehe~" Yui Yuigahama giggled happily.
"Get up first, your pajamas are getting dirty." Natsuo reached out his hand to Yui Yuigahama.
"Ah, my pajamas... Why are you wearing sportswear, Natsuo?" Yui Yuigahama quickly grabbed Natsuo's hand and stood up.
Xia Sheng voluntarily let go of her hand and explained, "Because I sleep in this outfit."
"Huh? Does that mean I can wear whatever I want here?"
"Probably..."
[Successfully eliminated the intruder, rewarded with one attribute point.]
His prompting echoed in my mind at just the right moment.
Natsumi frowned slightly and looked at Yuigahama Yui: "Did you hear anything?"
"A sound? There isn't one." Yui Yuigahama shook her head blankly.
"No..." Xia Sheng frowned.
Yui Yuigahama destroyed the slime, and he was the one who received the reward.
So how can they become stronger?
"Natsuo, what's wrong?" Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing... I should go now."
"Yes..."
