Ailian's stomach suddenly growled.
She touched her stomach shyly.
"Sorry, I didn't eat enough before I left..."
"Let's take a rest first, Ligurd!"
Chen Hai summoned the village chief and asked him to make arrangements.
Soon everyone gathered and took their seats in the largest tent in the goblin village.
The three adventurers began to whisper among themselves.
This was the first time they had ever seen goblins, oni, and fanged wolf tribes getting along so amicably.
This situation completely overturned their expectations.
It's like a dream, completely unrealistic.
But the aroma of the food and the enticing scent of the broth made one realize that 'all of this is real'.
Without discussing the topic in depth, the three adventurers began to feast.
Even though Kabaru and Kid weren't particularly hungry, they decided to finish the food in front of them.
There was no other way; when adventurers went out, in order to reduce weight, the food they carried was either flatbread or dried and smoked meat to ensure it wouldn't spoil easily.
After all, getting an upset stomach while on an adventure is very dangerous.
That's why those things weren't particularly delicious.
The monsters' cooking made them very hungry.
After eating and drinking his fill, Kabaru finally noticed that Chen Hai was staring at him.
He then began to introduce
"I am Kabaru, this is Ellen, and next to me is Kid. The three of us belong to the same team."
Hello! I'm Ailian!
"Kidd...Nice to meet you."
As for the fourth person...
Kabaru looked over.
Wearing a mask, Shizuka maintained the upright posture of a Japanese person and introduced herself.
Please call me 'Jing'.
The Blazing Dominator, Shizue Izawa, makes her appearance at this moment.
Chapter 94 Invites Izawa Shizue to a Date at "The Apocalypse"
Under Chen Hai's influence, some plots in the "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" world have changed, while others have remained true to the original work.
So what is the situation now?
Chen Hai was curious about this, so he turned to Jing Ze Shizue, who had just finished introducing herself.
He spoke as the three adventurers began to taste the fruit the goblins had gathered.
"What is Miss Jing's reason for coming to the forest with these three adventurers...?"
In this moment, where the plot differs from the original, is Shizue Izawa here to find her 'destined one'?
Or are there other reasons?
However, before Izawa Shizue could answer, Kabaru interrupted first.
Before he could speak, the demons and several goblins arrived at the scene.
Feeling some pressure, Kabaru became cautious and decided to weigh his options before speaking.
"We... accepted a mission to investigate the current state of this forest, and we never expected to meet Lord Chenhai... You are... human, right?"
"As you can see."
"It's unbelievable that you, a human, can gain the obedience of monsters..."
"Strength is everything, isn't it?"
"That's true."
Kabaru nodded repeatedly.
"We mean no harm."
Ailian added from the side.
She still had dark circles under her eyes, she emphasized.
"We are just conducting an investigation; we have no hostile intentions whatsoever!"
She said that because she had been being watched by Shion and Benimaru.
Kidd, standing to one side, surveyed the scene and continued the conversation.
"Because a lot of strange things have happened in this forest recently, we were assigned to investigate it; there's no other way, for the small countries around us, the stability or unrest in the Jura Forest will have a great impact."
"That's right, that's right."
Kabaru nodded repeatedly.
He scratched his head and said with a wry smile.
“We’re not businessmen, but we do know a little about the situation in the countries surrounding the forest. If the forest is stable, caravans might choose to pass through here. If it becomes restless, they’ll probably all be thinking about how to strengthen their defenses instead of how to develop and make money.”
This demonstrates the importance of the Jura Forest to neighboring countries.
It could become a shortcut to 'revitalizing the economy';
It could also be seen as a dangerous 'time bomb'.
One of the demons who had just arrived at the scene...
Benimaru, who had been staring at humans, frowned.
"What will you do after you've investigated? Based on your answers, there's reason to take further action..."
After saying this, Benimaru placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
Ziyuan, who chose to sit to the left of Chenhai, also agreed.
"Now that you know our location, once you go back and tell your clients, a 'monster-slaying army' might appear in the Jura Forest in a few days."
"Will that really happen?"
Zhu Cai, who was to the right of Chen Hai, didn't quite believe it.
She felt that the adventurers in front of her didn't seem like malicious people.
"Please be patient, everything depends on Lord Chenhai's decision."
Bai Lao instructed Hong Wan and Shi Yuan not to make decisions on their own.
The proposal was unanimously approved by the other demons and goblins.
"I still think it's better to be cautious, Lord Chenhai. You shouldn't trust humans too easily."
"Benimaru, I am human."
“You are completely different from cunning humans.”
"Your filter is way too heavy..."
That being said, the monsters present, just like before, expressed their support for Benimaru's statement.
In the eyes of the demons and goblins, Chen Hai was probably the kind of person who was 'different'...
To calm the surrounding monsters down, Chen Hai turned his gaze back to the three adventurers.
"And what was your answer?"
"No, no, no, we have absolutely no intention of releasing any information about this place!"
Cabaro was the first to make a commitment.
Kidd, sweat beading on his forehead, pulled out a notebook.
"This contains our work records. The three of us are basically adventurers earning a living, and we have no intention of getting involved in any major events, because we know our own limitations."
Shion took the notebook and looked at the human writing on it.
Seeing this, Zhu Cai leaned forward and rested against Chen Hai's chest.
Seeing his sister's rudeness, Benimaru was about to stop her when Souei stopped him...
As Soei shook his head at Benimaru, Shuna withdrew herself, while Shion handed over her notebook.
"can't read."
"No, you're looking at it even though you don't understand it? What's going on?"
Gobuta, who arrived at the scene, couldn't help but complain.
As a result, she was glared at by Shion.
Sensing danger, Gobuta fled the scene under the pretext of "I'm going to get some water."
"Let me tell you."
Mmm...
Ellen, the only woman among the three adventurers, swallowed the fruit in her mouth.
Although she had dark circles under her eyes, she looked much more energetic than before.
She took the notebook and read it aloud.
"'Today's job is to search for the giant rats in the nobleman's basement. The pay is generous, enough to cover a month's living expenses. But Kabaru gambled it all away.' I was furious!"
Immediately afterwards...
"The next day, we were assigned by the Free Guild to escort a caravan. It seems that Ailian is having an affair with the caravan's second-in-command and has been swindled out of all her money." No, that's wrong! The second-in-command tricked me into giving him money because he claimed to be able to tell fortunes! Who knew he would just take the money and run away!
And there is...
"On the third day without work, I got a job cleaning the large public bathhouse. After that, we could take a bath for free, and everyone was very happy. That task was really interesting."
Ailian said with a smile.
The daily lives of the three adventurers are mostly similar, consisting of inconspicuous individuals who constantly accept commissions in order to survive.
"We don't intend to casually reveal information about our savior."
Ailian made the promise again.
Kabaru and Kidd nodded vigorously.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about."
Shuna is inclined to let the three go rather than impose sanctions.
In her view, if Chen Hai intended to kill the adventurers, he wouldn't have offered help before.
"That's great... We never intended to get involved in these troublesome matters in the first place..."
A relieved Ailian recalled the past.
"It seems like it'll be the same as last time, taking a shower."
"If you want to wash yourself, there is a river about 500 meters from the village."
Shion said this.
Ailian shook her head
"Taking a bath is completely different from rinsing your body, especially in a warm bathtub. It's so comfortable to drink a beverage while soaking in the bath."
"Warm water? Boiled water?"
"Yes."
"That's too much trouble."
