Chapter 25 Yukinoshita and Shiina
Chapter 25 Yukinoshita and Shiina
The club was newly established and had no reputation, so there was no possibility of club activities.
Furthermore, most clubs do not hold club activities on Fridays, except for sports clubs and brass band clubs that participate in major competitions.
They are fledglings chasing their dreams, training every day and constantly honing their skills until they eventually grow powerful wings and soar through the sky.
Xia Sheng really wanted to visit these clubs after school.
These clubs are quite famous; you might even know someone in one of them.
But Isshiki Iroha's matter is more important now.
She'll be taking the high school entrance exam next week, and the weekend is the last chance for her to finish. Xia Sheng plans to tutor her for the entire next two days.
Even last-minute preparation can be effective.
After the evening tutoring session, Natsumi discussed this idea with Isshiki Iroha, and she readily agreed.
Isshiki Iroha is determined to improve herself and genuinely wants to attend Kyōshū Bunbu High School.
Of course, I'm willing to work hard to achieve my goals.
After all, it's only a couple of days. Just hang in there and it'll be over. If you succeed, you'll be free.
After having dinner at Isshiki's house, Natsuo went home alone.
It was already dark when Natsuo passed by the silent Shiina Mahiru's house and felt a little disappointed.
Even if you do nothing, just coming back to see the angels and having a chat is enough to make you happy.
However, given Natsumi's current relationship with Shiina Mahiru, knocking on the door to call her wouldn't be a problem.
But he didn't want to bother her over such a trivial matter; what if he made her angry?
It's a bit of a loss.
Back home, Xia Sheng put his things away, took a shower, and even washed his hair.
Without blowing his hair, Xia Sheng returned to his room, sat on his bed, and began reading his textbooks, absorbing knowledge.
As it approached eleven o'clock, drowsiness overcame him. Xia Sheng changed into his only white hooded outerwear, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.
......
Opening my eyes, I found myself in a silent, empty space filled with stone pillars. The walls and floor were also made of rock, just like a mine.
In familiar surroundings, Xia Sheng returned to this place once again.
"Just as I expected."
A clear, melodious voice rang in his ears. Natsuki turned his head and saw Yukino Yukinoshita.
She was wearing a red school tracksuit with her hair tied in a high ponytail, and it fit her surprisingly well.
Most people become fashionable through clothing, but she does the opposite; ordinary sportswear looks stylish on her.
"Are you wearing your school sports uniform?" Xia Sheng asked.
"Is there a problem? It's very convenient."
"Okay... but what's wrong with your ponytail? How can you sleep like that?"
"No need for you to worry about that."
"..."
Yukino Yukinoshita is really difficult to talk to.
Xia Sheng gave up on talking to her, turned around and looked into the depths, preparing to finish the matter quickly.
He was quite looking forward to whether he would gain new abilities.
"Huh? Where am I...?"
But just then, a familiar, gentle voice rang in my ears from the other side.
Xia Sheng wondered if he had misheard. He turned his head to look, and the flaxen color came into view.
"Shiina!" His eyes widened.
Before him stood Shiina Mahiru, dressed in a light, pale yellow lace nightgown, looking exceptionally adorable.
"Natsu-kun?!" Shiina Mahiru exclaimed in surprise when she saw Natsu.
"Why did you...?"
Why did you appear in my dream?
Before Natsumi could finish asking, Shiina Mahiru asked first, clearly treating the current situation as a dream.
People who come to this place for the first time will naturally think that way.
"Maybe you miss me too much." Seeing Shiina Mahiru's incredulous look, Natsuo couldn't help but make a flirtatious remark.
"I miss you... this kind of thing..." Shiina Mahiru was confused.
She didn't think she would miss Xia Sheng, but he really did appear in her dreams.
Does she really miss him?
Why?
"Alright, stop embarrassing yourself. This isn't the time for you to flirt," Yukino Yukinoshita interjected, her tone serious.
Xia Sheng became alert, looking into the depths, his pupils slightly contracting.
There, six slimes were slowly crawling towards them!
Five are white, and one is white with a hint of blue.
[Destroy them!]
His voice rang in my mind at just the right moment.
"Eh? Yukinoshita... classmate? Why are you in my dream too?" Shiina Mahiru noticed Yukinoshita Yukino again and exclaimed in surprise.
"Sorry, Shiina, this isn't actually a dream," Natsumi said, staring intently at the six slimes.
He wasn't confident he could handle six slimes attacking at once.
"Not a dream? What do you mean?" Shiina Mahiru asked, puzzled.
"I'll explain later. In short, we're here with only one mission: to wipe out those slimes."
"Slimes..." Shiina Mahiru followed Natsuo's gaze and noticed the group of slimes.
Just like jelly, it doesn't seem harmful at all.
Destroy them?
What exactly is going on here?
Shiina Mahiru secretly pinched herself and felt pain.
It really isn't a dream!
She then looked at Natsumi and Yukino Yukinoshita, who both seemed very experienced.
Have they already been here?
"I'll go check out the situation first. If they don't attack together, there's hope of dealing with them."
Natsumi couldn't pay attention to Shiina Mahiru right now. He spoke sternly to Yukino Yukinoshita and slowly walked towards the slime.
"Okay." Yukino Yukinoshita knew she shouldn't cause trouble, so she waited where she was.
Shiina Mahiru, confused about the situation and seeing the serious expressions on the two people's faces, knew that the situation was no small matter and stood there without daring to say a word.
Xia Sheng shuffled closer and closer to the slime, his heart pounding with nervousness.
These slimes are not the harmless beings found in those isekai (otherworld) novels.
He had experienced its attack power before; if six of them attacked together, he might die instantly.
He didn't know if dying here would mean returning home, and he dared not gamble on it.
But we can't leave without addressing these issues, otherwise we can't stay here or protect this world.
This slime is different from the previous ones; it will move forward on its own.
Previously, it would just stay in one place and not move, as long as no one approached.
Six slimes, just like they hadn't appeared together for the past six days.
It would be better to let him come and take care of them one by one each day.
Xia Sheng was just complaining. He must have known that this would be an easier solution, but the fact that he didn't do it means that one doesn't appear every day.
Fortunately, it was just a slime.
As Xia Sheng got closer and closer to the six slimes, they moved closer together. Just when he was only about a meter away from the slime in front, it suddenly sprang up and crashed into him.
The speed wasn't fast, and Xia Sheng easily dodged it.
boom--!
But the slime couldn't stop and crashed hard into the stone pillar behind Natsumi.
The hard rock was easily broken, and fragments flew everywhere.
With lightning speed, Xia Sheng grabbed a stone flying through the air and pounced on the slime, smashing the stone down on it with all his might.
splat—
The slime really turned into a puddle of jelly.
Without pausing, Natsumi immediately got up and returned to Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina, staring at the remaining five slimes.
They didn't react much and continued moving slowly.
"Natsu-kun... what is this...?" Shiina Mahiru's mouth was slightly open, her small face full of shock.
That harmless, jelly-like thing actually managed to break the stone pillar?
If someone were hit by that force, they would be half-dead, if not killed.
What exactly is going on here?
