Chapter 113 The Big Goblin Appears
"I'm sorry, Yukinoshita." Shiina Mahiru immediately apologized to Yukinoshita Yukino, feeling embarrassed.
"You're too easy to please, aren't you?" Yukino Yukinoshita didn't seem to care much, but she still teased Mahiru Shiina a little.
"This guy is so honest, it's impossible to get angry at him," Shiina Mahiru replied helplessly.
"Honesty is good, but these are things that must be done. You can't always be jealous," Yukino Yukinoshita emphasized calmly.
"These are things you can't control," Shiina Mahiru shook her head.
"Yeah?"
"Yes, I believe you will be like that in the future." Shiina Mahiru looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and smiled slightly.
"Maybe," Yukino Yukinoshita said, not denying it.
"But let's see if you can bite Natsumi's lips first," Shiina Mahiru joked with a smile.
.
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her, unable to bear it any longer: "You're not jealous anymore?"
"I don't know why, but I'm even more curious to know your reaction at that time."
Have bad taste. "
"Since our relationship is rather special, we can only try to find joy in the midst of hardship."
"It's nothing serious, I'll handle it calmly."
"You think that way only because you haven't experienced it yet. I'm waiting to hear your thoughts when the time comes."
"Let me see your test results first," Yukino Yukinoshita changed the subject.
That's it.
As Shiina Mahiru spoke, she raised her right hand. With a thought, a faint, shimmering white light appeared and enveloped her slender hand.
"So she really has magical powers now." Yukino Yukinoshita stared intently at her hands.
"Yes, but the amount of magic is very small, yet it can be truly felt and freely controlled."
"I can't understand why you're saying that."
"It's alright, I believe you'll take action soon."
"...Natsuo, how much magic do you have?" Yukino Yukinoshita didn't want to talk to Mahiru Shiina anymore, so she asked Natsuo.
"It's only seven times that now, but it can keep improving," Xia Sheng answered truthfully.
Is there an upper limit?
"It's hard to say, there should be some, but I don't know if I can break through." Xia Sheng was also uncertain.
His current goal is to maximize all attributes.
If you max it out, maybe it will undergo a qualitative change, or maybe nothing will happen at all.
But if his help is needed, his potential should not be limited.
What will happen to him then?
Xia Sheng was somewhat looking forward to it.
"Breakthrough... I think so. The world has chosen you. If the invaders keep coming and the intensity of the invasion keeps increasing, then you can't be confined to being a mortal." Yukino Yukinoshita stroked her chin, thinking and analyzing.
"And what about you? You can only rely on me to share magic with you? Having magic alone isn't enough," Xia Sheng emphasized.
Magic is merely a means of dealing with invaders; what they truly need is their physical prowess.
But magic cannot strengthen the body.
They still couldn't handle the invaders on their own, not even the slimes; their physical abilities simply couldn't keep up.
Magic cannot even be released simply, in the form of projectiles.
It's also possible that the magical power is insufficient?
As long as Yukino and the others can unleash magic in the form of magical cannons, like magicians, there's no problem.
But magic can only be applied; you have to fight it hand-to-hand.
"Perhaps, there will be a chance..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Natsuo, her eyes flickering.
"What opportunity?"
"No rush, we can talk about it later." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head, not intending to say anything more.
After all, she hasn't even kissed Xia Sheng yet, so there's no need to think about what will happen next.
"Why have you become a riddle teller too?" Xia Sheng sighed, looking at her with disbelief.
"It's just a guess, there's no need to say it out loud."
"Alright... Mahiru, I'll try out my new ability. Come with me."
"What?"
[Can you hear me?]
"W-What is this?" Shiina Mahiru's eyes widened in surprise.
[Looks like it'll work.]
Indeed, one must possess magic to communicate with him on a spiritual level.
"How did you do that?" Shiina Mahiru asked incredulously.
"Just received it."
"Wow...that's amazing!"
"What happened?" Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't contain her curiosity and interrupted to ask.
"Natsumi can talk to me in her mind," Shiina Mahiru explained. "In her mind?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Natsumi.
"It's telepathic communication, but you need magic to do it. Mai-senpai and I tried it, but she couldn't hear us."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked helpless.
"How did it become Mai-senpai?" Shiina Mahiru noticed Natsuo's way of addressing Sakurajima Mai.
"She told me to call her that, after all, we're all companions," Xia Sheng answered frankly.
"Is that so...?"
.
"Speaking of which, why are you still addressing each other by surname? You're so familiar with each other, shouldn't you be calling each other by first names?" Xia Sheng asked.
"That's true."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Yukino, is it okay for me to call you that?"
"Of course, Mahiru."
"That's more like it."
Natsumi was satisfied with what he saw. He moved closer to Shiina Mahiru, took her hand, and shared his sense of danger with her.
"The goblins are coming."
"This is... danger perception?" Feeling the alarm bells ringing in her heart, Shiina Mahiru's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.
Yui Yuigahama has already mentioned this situation.
"Yes, this ability allows you to fully sense the approach and appearance of intruders, but unfortunately, you need magic power to share it."
"Yes, it's a pity Yukino won't be able to experience it." Shiina Mahiru shook her head regretfully, with a hint of teasing in her tone.
"...It's alright, I can see it anyway." Yukino Yukinoshita ignored her and looked expressionlessly at the goblin that had appeared out of nowhere.
There were still six of them, all short and of similar size, each holding a club, grinning and smirking – the arrogant faces of invaders.
"I'll go after them myself." Natsumi released Shiina Mahiru's hand, took out a wooden sword, and stepped forward.
"Okay." Shiina Mahiru stepped back and stood with Yukino Yukinoshita.
Although she possessed magic, she wouldn't act recklessly; goblins were not someone she could handle.
With magic imbued into the wooden sword, Natsumi used his ability to conceal his presence, preparing to eliminate the goblins in one fell swoop.
With the aid of his swordsmanship, he silently dealt with two of them, and then he could face the remaining four with ease.
However, after taking only two steps, Xia Sheng suddenly stopped, his face filled with disbelief.
In my heart, the alarm bells are ringing again!
And the crisis he faced was even greater than the one posed by the six goblins!
What's going on?
Is there some unusual activity?
Xia Sheng stared intently at the goblin's back with a solemn expression. The next second, a goblin appeared out of thin air.
But it's different from those six goblins!
It was large, taller than Xia Sheng, at least two meters tall!
It also wielded a club, but the aura it exuded towards Xia Sheng was far superior to that of the six goblins.
Extremely threatening!
Not only that, the moment it appeared, its gaze fell on Xia Sheng, its face smiling, seemingly mocking.
Xia Sheng used the ability to conceal his presence.
It can see him!
The ability to conceal one's presence is useless against it!
Xia Sheng immediately understood the situation.
Natsumi gripped the wooden sword tightly, his expression serious and calm, staring intently at the Big Goblin.
Tonight, there may be danger.
Behind Natsuo, Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina also saw the suddenly appearing goblin.
The two of them unconsciously became nervous.
Shiina Mahiru began to worry about Natsuo, but dared not make a sound to disturb the goblins.
Yukino's face remained calm, but her heart was filled with unease.
The change happened so quickly; this giant goblin is definitely not something those six goblins could force.
They are the same; they can't do anything.
Perhaps she shouldn't have hesitated so much. If she had made up her mind sooner, with her magic, maybe it would have at least had some effect.
But it's too late to regret it now.
All she could do was pray for Xia Sheng, pray that he would be safe and sound, and pray that he could resolve these issues.
Only after tonight can she make amends for her regrets.
Otherwise, it's all just wishful thinking.
