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 with your ponytail? How can you sleep like that?"

"That won't bother you."

"..."

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 as she saw Natsu.

"Why are 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 are visiting 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…” 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."

“Slime…” 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 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.

Hard rocks were easily broken, sending shards flying.

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.

Paji——

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 and continued moving slowly.

"Xia-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?

Chapter 26 Awakening Special

"Shiina, now is not the time to explain. You can see how dangerous they are, right? We have to eliminate them before we can leave this place."

Xia Sheng stared at the remaining five slimes with a stern expression, explaining without turning his head.

"Eliminate? Leave? What exactly is this place?" Shiina Mahiru looked at Natsuo and couldn't help but ask.

"Shiina-kun," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.

“Yukinoshita-san…” Shiina Mahiru looked at her.

Both of them were very famous at school, so they naturally knew each other.

But this was the first time the two had ever spoken face-to-face, especially in a place like this.

"The situation is urgent now, this is not the time to answer your questions. Since this is your first time here, as long as you stay far away from them, you'll be fine. After that..."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Mahiru Shiina with a calm gaze: "He will explain to you."

Shiina Mahiru and Yukino Yukinoshita looked at each other, then nodded gently: "I understand."

She wasn't an unreasonable person; this was certainly not the time to ask questions.

“Under the snow, I’ve identified their weakness,” Natsumi said.

"I saw it too."

Slimes have a simple weakness: they will not attack unless you are within a certain range of them.

It's probably because their perception is low; they can't sense targets outside a certain range.

That would make things easier. Since they are not a single entity, we can lure them out one by one and defeat them one by one.

Without needing to communicate, Natsuo and Yukino Yukinoshita tacitly agreed on their plan.

"That......"

“I’ll help too!” Yukino Yukinoshita said seriously.

She could tell that Xia Sheng wanted to solve everything by himself, but she wasn't going to just be a bystander and do nothing.

“But you…” Xia Sheng frowned as he looked at her.

"Don't worry, I won't act rashly. I'm just trying to draw your attention away." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled slightly at Natsuo.

Xia Sheng looked at her; her eyes held a firm gaze, as if she couldn't be persuaded.

He was also aware of Yukino Yukinoshita's personality; she was independent and insisted on her own ideas.

"I see."

It's not a good thing to bear it alone. Since He has called them to this place, He definitely didn't want them to be bystanders.

He wasn't sure if what would appear later wouldn't just be slimes, or if they would appear here alone.

If he overprotects them and keeps them like fledglings, they will only face death if something goes wrong.

Perhaps, by destroying slimes, they can also gain special abilities.

Xia Sheng had no intention of taking all the benefits, especially with them.

“That’s more like it.” Yukino Yukinoshita was clearly satisfied with Natsuo’s agreement, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"I'll take care of the one on the left first, and you lure the one on the right," Xia Sheng instructed.

"it is good!"

With Natsuo in front and Yukino Yukinoshita behind, the two slowly approached the slime, then separated to the left and right.

Shiina Mahiru stayed where she was, carefully observing the two's actions.

She's a newcomer, a newcomer; all she needs to do now is observe.

It's not appropriate to act recklessly when you don't know anything about the situation.

Xia Sheng moved directly towards the slime on the left; his reaction speed was enough to deal with its sudden attack.

Yukino Yukinoshita was aware of her physical limitations. She picked up a few scattered stones, intending to try and lure them with something.

Moving to the right, Yukino Yukinoshita stood far away and threw a small stone at the slime.

Swish!

In mid-air, when the stone was about a meter away from the slime, it suddenly leaped up and crashed into the stone.

boom--!

The stone was struck and bounced back at lightning speed like a bullet, embedding itself directly into the stone wall.
