Chapter 123 The Demons Attack
The next morning, when Shichen woke up, he found it difficult to breathe. His head was covered, and he could hardly breathe.
I opened my eyes, and it was pitch black, but the soft touch on my face was very clear.
What's going on?
Shichen pushed away the thing that was holding his head and then realized that it was Aqua.
He sat up, looked at Aqua sleeping soundly, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
They probably didn't sleep like this last night, right?
Shi Chen clearly remembered that he had slept with Aqua in his arms last night, so how come when he woke up this morning, she was the one holding his head?
His position hasn't changed, which means that Aqua is the one who's not sleeping soundly?
He didn't react much to Aqua's behavior last night?
Was I too trusting of her?
Seeing Aqua breathing with her mouth open, showing no sign of waking up, Tokishi shook his head helplessly.
It's true, aside from her appearance, she has absolutely no feminine charm in any other way.
However, since he was only sleeping with her so he could sleep better, he couldn't possibly have any expectations of her.
Shi Chen sighed, got up and changed his clothes.
Even though Aqua is so beautiful, more beautiful than any woman he's ever seen, last night...
It's really better to sleep alone.
Even though I tried the facial cleanser first thing in the morning, I felt nothing.
However, this is not a bad thing; at least it proves that he is not a man who is attracted simply by his good looks.
There aren't many men as outstanding as him anymore.
Without avoiding Aqua, Tokichi changed his clothes in the room and left.
The hotel was quite quiet, though there was some noise coming from the kitchen. Instead of having breakfast, Shichen left the hotel to go for a walk.
Axel is quite large, and he hasn't had a chance to explore it properly yet; his spatial teleportation can't take him anywhere.
He can teleport to any place he has been, but he cannot do so across time.
Whether in this world or in Frilian's world, he cannot teleport to other worlds.
Whether it's due to the dimensional difference or his lack of strength, if possible, he could take the others on a dimensional journey.
Perhaps, a familiar beast can take him across dimensions.
However, ordinary women do not have the aptitude to awaken a familiar for him, and he is not sure which fragment that familiar resides in.
I can only try them one by one.
There is one person in this world whose blood is definitely qualified to help him awaken his familiar, and that is Aqua. It's just that she feels a little guilty about attacking an idiot.
He could only treat her well first, and then make his move, so that he would at least feel less ashamed.
I have a conscience, but not much.
After exploring most of the town, it was time to return to the inn. I then woke everyone up and we had breakfast together.
No one found out that Yuu slept with Aqua last night, but it seems she didn't sleep well.
She has dark circles under her eyes and yawns a lot.
"Youyou, did you not sleep well last night?" Shichen asked with concern during dinner.
"Ah? Um... a little." Youyou was a little embarrassed.
"Was it Huihui who made the noise?"
"Shichen, what do you mean?" Huihui asked, dissatisfied.
"Why else could it be that you two slept together, besides because of you?"
"Hmph! I fell asleep very quickly last night, it has nothing to do with me."
"Really? What's the reason for that?"
"Don't worry about the time, I just sleep late," Youyou explained, waving her hand.
After she got home last night, all she could think about was Shichen's embrace and that feeling of spaciousness. She couldn't fall asleep for a while in bed.
But how could she possibly say such a thing out loud?
"Really? Then let's finish our tasks quickly in the morning and do our own things in the afternoon."
"OK."
After breakfast, Shichen and the others returned to the guild to receive their quests.
The mission remains the same: to defeat the giant frog.
This task is the most suitable for them for the time being; apart from Huihui, no one else can get involved.
Shi Chen wasn't one to show off his abilities, since they weren't particularly useful and he didn't need to level up quickly; it would only provide him with limited improvement.
"Let's go, let's slay the giant frog! You absolutely have to let me fight today!"
After receiving the quest and leaving the guild, Kazuma Sato excitedly led the way toward the city gate. Now equipped, he was ready to take on the giant frog.
It's just like playing a game; once you have weapons and abilities, you're bound to be eager to fight monsters and level up.
Once outside the town and onto the plains, giant, colorful frogs were everywhere.
During the breeding season of giant frogs, they appear in large numbers every day, which can be troublesome for ordinary people.
But for adventurers, it is an important source of income.
"Brother Shi, I'm going to go!" Sato Kazuma was eager to try.
"Go ahead. With Aqua here, you don't need to worry about dying at all. She can revive you," Toki said.
"Really? Aqua is that powerful?"
"Kazuma, how dare you underestimate me? Be careful, or I won't give you any buffs," Aqua said, displeased.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault!" Kazuma Sato immediately bowed and apologized.
"Hehe, go ahead, but be careful, you'll still feel the pain when you're killed."
"OK!"
Sato and Makoto excitedly ran toward a lone giant frog that was relatively close to them.
"Take this!"
His short sword struck the giant frog's belly, but it was to no avail; it didn't even leave a wound.
"Huh? Why isn't it working?"
"You're only at level one, your strength and such are far from enough. Just keep practicing your skills," Shi Chen reminded him.
"How could this happen!" Kazuma Sato immediately turned and ran away.
"You can have that giant frog; we'll deal with the others."
"No, please!"
"Don't you want to upgrade anymore?"
"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!" Kazuma Sato turned around and slashed at the giant frog again.
Shichen ignored him and moved with Youyou Space to the other side of the giant frog.
"Youyou, let's do it the same way as yesterday. You deal with the one on the left, and I'll deal with the one on the right."
"Okay! Fireball!" Youyou's gaze shifted from Shichen's hand on her shoulder.
Concentrate and unleash your magic to defeat the giant frog.
"Lightsaber!"
The two unleashed a flurry of intermediate-level magic, and the giant frogs were no match for them, collapsing to the ground one after another.
Megumin and Aqua can only watch; one is a support and the other only has her ultimate ability, so they can only be spectators.
Shi Chen had no problem with the two of them, after all, he knew them too well.
The giant frogs were similar to yesterday's, and the two of them quickly finished them off. However, on Sato Kazuma's side...
He hasn't solved it yet.
Today, Aqua learned her lesson and behaved herself, without any of her usual impulsive attempts to show off.
"Die!"
Kazuma Sato smashed the giant frog's head hard, finally finishing it off.
"Brother Shi, I did it! I even leveled up!"
"Okay, let's go back then."
"Oh! I'm going to hunt two tomorrow!"
"Any three are fine."
"Ahem, then let's wait a bit longer."
Just like yesterday, the clock controlled the giant frog corpses, making them line up and float behind them.
However, he doesn't have to carry Aqua today.
On their way to the guild, they once again attracted the attention of the townspeople, some of whom even cheered them on.
"Shichen, well done! These giant frogs are counting on you!"
"come on!"
"You are the pride of our newbie village!"
Upon arriving at the guild, Shichen led the way in, but the atmosphere was a bit strange; there were many adventurers, and each of them had a solemn expression.
"Mr. Shichen, you're back! That's great! Were you safe?" Luna rushed over and asked.
"Danger?" Shichen glanced at the gathered adventurers and asked, "Has something happened?"
"Yes, a high-ranking demon has appeared in the forest," Luna replied with a serious expression.
"A high-ranking demon! Why is it here?" Youyou asked in a panic. She had seen demons before and knew how dangerous they were.
"According to the adventurers who were attacked, it seems to be looking for a huge black monster," Luna explained.
"A gigantic black monster?"
"I have a clue. It's an extremely dangerous monster known as the rookie killer."
"Why would a demon want to find that monster?" Huihui asked, puzzled. She had a feeling that something was wrong.
Luna shook her head: "I'm very sorry, I don't know about that."
Is that so?
.
"Mr. Shichen, please don't go outside recently. High-ranking demons are too dangerous," Luna said to Shichen.
"Are there any missions to slay demons?" Shichen asked in return.
"Huh?" Luna paused, then asked uncertainly, "Mr. Shichen, you don't mean...?"
"Yes, let's go and slay the demons." Shichen nodded with a smile.
"Alas!"
