Chapter 27 Breakfast with Angels
Chapter 27 Breakfast with Angels
Are you alright?
Yukino Yukinoshita came to Natsuo's side and asked softly.
His expression looked a bit strange, as if he was lost in thought.
"It's nothing." Xia Sheng came back to his senses, shook his head, and then smiled.
"Thank you for your support just now."
If Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't thrown a rock to save him in time, he might have been attacked by the slime.
The damage caused by being hit is not to be underestimated.
He had experienced it firsthand; that feeling was excruciating.
Although he didn't know why he didn't have any major problems that time and recovered so quickly.
It's possible that something's wrong here, or it could be the newbie protection period.
But no matter what, we can't afford to fall into this trap so easily. If something happens to him, Yukino Yukinoshita and the others will also be in danger.
He just didn't expect that his fists wouldn't work.
"It's just mutual help. Without you, I wouldn't be able to deal with the slime either." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head indifferently.
"Did you hear anything?" Natsumi asked, knowing that Yukino Yukinoshita didn't care about such things, and changed the subject.
"A sound? What sound?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked in confusion.
It seems we didn't hear His voice.
Is it because the slime wasn't destroyed?
"It's nothing..."
"Are you alright?" Shiina Mahiru walked over at that moment.
"fine."
"Is that slime... alright?"
"this......"
Natsuo and Yukinoshita Yukino exchanged a glance, unable to answer.
This was the first time such a situation had been encountered. He neither explained nor reminded anyone, and even issued the reward as usual.
He seemed perfectly fine.
But Xia Sheng couldn't be sure if the slime was an intruder. It simply disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know whether it had returned to its own world or successfully invaded it.
If it successfully infiltrates, what impact will it have on the world?
It has an impact on society.
Does it still affect Him?
All of these scenarios are possible.
"We don't know either, we can only be thankful that it's just a slime," Yukino Yukinoshita replied.
"I'm afraid it will invade the real world and we won't be able to deal with it," Xia Sheng said worriedly.
"We'll see when the time comes. It seems like we can go back now," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded them.
The three people's bodies had begun to fade into nothingness, starting from their feet.
"What is this?" Shiina Mahiru looked at her legs, which had become transparent, in surprise. She could still feel the presence of her legs.
"The mission is complete, you can go back now. I'll explain properly tomorrow," Xia Sheng reassured him.
"Okay, but you're not allowed to hide anything."
"Don't worry." Xia Sheng smiled.
The three people's bodies gradually became ethereal and then disappeared.
Silence returned to this place once more.
......
Xia Sheng opened his eyes to the pleasant morning light. He reached for his phone and checked the time; it was exactly six o'clock.
It was the same time he usually woke up.
Xia Sheng sat up, got out of bed, and stretched his body. He felt no fatigue and was full of energy.
It seems that going to that place won't have any side effects.
Xia Sheng was somewhat concerned about the special aspect of his awakening.
It seems to be related to his body, since it's categorized in the same way as attributes like strength.
However, he can't feel anything special about this right now, nor does he know what use it is; it just gives him the attribute of a sixth side.
Is the goal to make him a well-rounded, all-around fighter?
He didn't explain anything, which was really no different from a blind man groping in the dark.
It's like playing a game without any tutorial or instructions.
That's too challenging.
Fortunately, Yukino Yukinoshita is there; if all else fails, you can ask her for advice.
The two are now true comrades-in-arms, and she will definitely help.
What worried him most was the escaped slime; he could only hope it wouldn't cause any harm.
Xia Sheng was not one to be complacent. He shook his head, dispelling his negative emotions, and left the room to wash up.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Xia Sheng put on the same clothes he wore last night and went out for a morning run.
Arriving at the park downstairs, Xia Sheng warmed up and began jogging slowly around the lake.
Not long after, a girl with a flaxen ponytail wearing a red school tracksuit barged in.
Shiina Mahiru didn't disturb Natsuo. She stretched her body for a bit and then ran alongside him as he passed by.
The two ran side by side for a while, and Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but ask, "Last night...?"
"I'll explain when we get back."
"Okay." Shiina Mahiru nodded.
Last night's events were definitely not a dream!
The two ran silently until they were exhausted and breathless, then stopped and walked slowly around the apartment before returning.
When Xia Sheng got home, he took off his clothes and threw them into the washing machine. He was shirtless and ready to take a shower first.
But then, the doorbell rang.
He glanced down at himself. He didn't have abs or defined jawline, but his skin was clean and white, so he wasn't afraid of being seen.
So he went straight to open the door.
"Xia-kun, you can tell me..." Shiina Mahiru was stunned before she could finish her sentence.
She looked at Xia Sheng's upper body, her gaze involuntarily moving from top to bottom, and visibly, a blush appeared on his fair face.
"What are you doing...!" Shiina Mahiru covered her eyes and hurriedly turned around.
"It's okay, I don't mind," Xia Sheng said cheerfully.
He noticed that Shiina Mahiru seemed to have only wiped the sweat from her face; it seemed she really couldn't wait for an explanation.
"You...you should get dressed quickly!"
"I was just about to take a shower, I'm all sweaty. Why don't you wait a bit? It'll be quick."
"You... never mind!" Shiina Mahiru walked quickly towards her home.
"Are you going back to take a shower?" Xia Sheng asked.
Shiina Mahiru did not answer. She went to her house, opened the door, and went inside.
"Have you not made breakfast yet? Can you make me some?" Xia Sheng asked as she was about to close the door.
The only response he received was the sound of the door closing.
Xia Sheng scratched his head, amused, closed the door, and went back to the bathroom to take a shower.
It seems the joke went too far.
Ten minutes later, Xia Sheng washed his hair and changed into his pajamas. He then took a middle school math textbook and started reading it on the sofa in the living room.
He watched for half an hour, but the doorbell still didn't ring.
Is Shiina Mahiru not coming?
However, considering that it takes a lot of time for girls to take a bath, Xia Sheng decided to wait a little longer.
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang again.
Xia Sheng put down his textbook and got up to open the door.
Unexpectedly, Shiina Mahiru, who was standing at the door, had not only changed into a light and airy house dress, but was also carrying a plate with a steaming breakfast on it.
There's a lot of it; it looks like a double portion.
"Aren't you going to get the cutlery?" Shiina Mahiru reminded Natsumi, who was still staring at the food.
"Oh, okay!" Xia Sheng immediately turned around and went to the kitchen.
Shiina Mahiru followed her in and went to the kitchen. She placed the plates on the dining table and couldn't help but look around.
Although fully furnished, the place is too simple, clearly indicating that it's for one person living alone.
"Hey, cutlery." At that moment, Xia Sheng came over with a bowl and chopsticks.
Shiina Mahiru looked away and began to distribute the food to him, just like before.
Miso soup and pan-fried tuna chunks.
After she divided the food, she sat down and started eating by herself.
Xia Sheng blinked. Did she mean she wanted to stay and have breakfast with him?
"What are you standing there for? Finish your meal and explain yourself clearly," Shiina Mahiru said, glancing at him.
"Okay." Xia Sheng smiled and sat down to enjoy breakfast with her.
This breakfast was exceptionally delicious.
