"...So, cousins, you've been here all this time, fighting off invaders and protecting the world?"
After listening to Natsuo's brief explanation, Suoh Yuki wore a dreamlike expression.
She was still a little skeptical, wondering if she was dreaming.
Invaders? Protectors of the world?
Slime? Goblin?
She felt that she must have read too many novels, which was why she had such a dream.
But why would I dream of my cousin kissing Yui-senpai?
"Yes." Xia Sheng nodded.
"Really?" Suoh Yuki asked, her eyes full of doubt.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me so easily, but that's okay, I'll prove it to you."
"How do I prove it... Ouch! Cousin, what are you doing? Ouch~" Suoh Yuki slapped Natsuo's hand away, covering her left cheek where he had pinched her.
He questioned her angrily.
"Prove it! Did you feel the pain?"
"What does this have to do with pain...? I can feel pain, it's not a dream?" Suoh Yuki realized.
"Do you believe it now?"
"But... if it's a dream, everything in it is fake, right? The pain might also be an illusion, right?" Suoh Yuki remained skeptical.
"...Then let me ask you, are you ever this conscious in your dreams?" Xia Sheng pointed out.
"That's right!"
This is something that made Suoh Yuki willing to believe.
Pain may be fake, but thoughts can never be this clear; one can never have such a lucid consciousness while dreaming.
"Cousin, is this... really not a dream?"
"You'll doubt whatever I say now, so let's wait until you wake up and let you judge for yourself."
"I understand... But what does this have to do with you kissing Yui-senpai, cousin?" Suoh Yuki got back to the point.
Compared to the unreality of protecting the world, she was more concerned about the kiss between the two.
"Um..." Yui Yuigahama blushed.
"You might not believe it, but we're protecting the world," Xia Sheng said seriously.
That's not entirely wrong.
"Does protecting the world require kissing?" Yuki Suo doesn't believe it.
"Look at this." Xia Sheng raised his right hand, and a bright white light appeared.
"What is this?!" Suoh Yuki stared at the scene in astonishment.
"This is magic. You should know what it is, right?"
"I understand." Suoh Yuki nodded.
She's someone who loves reading light novels, how could she not know what magic is?
"This magic is unique to me; Yui and the others don't have it. And the only way I can give them this magic is through kissing. You understand this setting, right?"
"Understood!" Suoh Yuki nodded knowingly.
"This really was a dream."
...Never mind, I can't explain it to you. I'll explain it to you tomorrow. The slime is coming.
"Cousin, how come... you really are a slime!"
Before Suoh Yuki could finish her question, she followed Natsuo's gaze and saw a pure blue slime that had appeared out of thin air.
"Step back, the slime is dangerous." Natsuo blocked Suoh Yuki behind him.
"Aren't slimes super weak?" Suoh Yuki wondered.
"Slimes can be very strong too, okay? Besides, this isn't another world, we're not from another world, we're just ordinary people."
Slimes are monsters.
"That seems to be true."
"You don't believe me? Then I'll show you its power. Yui, you watch her."
"OK!"
After giving his instructions, Xia Sheng walked towards the slime without using his ability to conceal his presence.
The slime also focused its attention on Natsumi. When he got close, it leaped up and crashed into him.
Xia Sheng easily dodged, but the slime remained in the same direction and crashed into the stone pillar behind him.
With a loud bang, the stone pillar broke, and rubble flew everywhere.
This scene left Suoh Yuki completely dumbfounded.
How could a slime that looks like jelly break such a thick stone pillar?
What kind of superhuman strength is this? Is this still the slime she knows?
It turns out my cousin wasn't exaggerating at all; slimes really are dangerous.
"See that? Still not convinced?" Natsumi distanced himself from the slime and asked Suoh Yuki.
"No, I won't." Suoh Yuki quickly shook her head.
"This isn't another world, or a novel; it's reality. You can't use the common sense from novels to judge invaders," Xia Sheng instructed, while drawing his iron sword.
The iron sword doesn't look much different from the wooden sword, but because of its metal material, its gleaming silver light, and its sharp texture, it looks much cooler.
Xia Sheng immediately took a liking to it.
Even an iron sword can be imbued with magic. Enveloped in a shimmering white light, it resembles a divine weapon, radiating power.
Holding it, Xia Sheng felt invincible; he could even slay that giant goblin from yesterday with a single sword strike.
The confidence that comes with good weapons.
"Why did you suddenly pull out a weapon, cousin? Where did you get it from?" Suoh Yuki asked curiously, looking at the iron sword wrapped in a shimmering white.
"This... it's hard to explain in a short time. He should be able to explain it to you tomorrow," Yui Yuigahama replied softly.
"Tomorrow... Why do I suddenly wish this were true?"
"Hehe~ I had the same thought as you before, but it's really dangerous here. Xia Sheng almost got into trouble yesterday."
"What happened to my cousin?" Suoh Yuki asked anxiously, her expression changing.
"We encountered a very strong goblin. Yukino said the battle was extremely fierce, and he even coughed up blood..." Yui Yuigahama said, looking at Natsuo with a pained expression.
"So it was that dangerous...: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things." Suoh Yuki corrected her attitude and apologized.
"It's okay, you're new here, it's normal. Xia Sheng will explain it to you tomorrow."
"OK."
The two looked at Xia Sheng and stopped talking.
Xia Sheng had already entered the slime's attack range. It quickly leaped up and crashed into him.
Xia Sheng did not dodge this time. He raised his sword horizontally and slashed at it.
The sword light clashed with the slime, and Xia Sheng encountered no hindrance, simply switching places with it.
The slime landed in a parabolic arc, remaining unchanged, but the instant it hit the ground, its body split in two.
Xia Sheng sheathed his sword and waved to the two of them: "Alright, it's all over now."
Yui Yuigahama and Yuki Suo walked towards him: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Relax and easy."
"It really is a slime." Suoh Yuki squatted down in front of the slime's corpse, examining it curiously.
"But why are the intruders slimes?"
"You ask me? I don't know either. The second level is still goblins."
"Could it be that our world and another world have merged?" Suoh Yuki asked, speculating.
"Maybe."
"Never mind, I don't understand this place either." Suoh Yuki shook her head, stood up, and looked at Natsuo with admiration.
"Cousin, you looked so handsome just now!"
"Really?" Xia Sheng seemed quite pleased.
After all, it seems that only Suoh Yuki has praised him like this so far.
"Yeah, yeah, that's so cool! I never knew you were so amazing, cousin!" Suoh Yuki praised without reservation.
"It's alright." Xia Sheng was pleased to hear this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"So, cousin, you come here every night to protect the world?"
"No, it's Friday night and Saturday night."
"Last night? Then why am I only here today?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know either. All I can say is that you are also a chosen child."
"I see, I see." Suoh Yuki accepted it immediately.
"Alright, you should go back now. I'll explain everything to you properly tomorrow," Xia Sheng suddenly said.
"Huh?" Suoh Yuki also noticed that her feet were beginning to become ethereal.
"Are you leaving already? Cousins, why are you all alright?"
"We need to go to the second floor."
"The second floor... Alright, then cousin, Yui-senpai, I wish you a resounding victory." Suoh Yuki bowed slightly and gave an elegant greeting.
"Okay, goodbye Yuki~" Yui Yuigahama smiled and waved to her.
She could also watch others leave.
Yuki Suoh quickly became intangible and disappeared. As soon as she left, the door to the second floor appeared.
