Chapter 4 Yukinoshita Yukino
Chapter 4 Yukinoshita Yukino
"Who are you?"
The girl noticed Xia Sheng.
However, Natsumi's allure to the young girl was not as strong as his surroundings.
"Where is this place?"
"I don't know either."
Xia Sheng walked towards the girl, and as he got closer, her appearance became clearer to him.
She simply stood there, exuding the air of a refined lady from a noble family, even though she was only wearing pajamas.
With her exceptionally beautiful features, delicate facial features, fair and translucent skin, exquisite cherry blossom-colored lips, long black hair that reached past her shoulders, and an irresistibly cute face, she was practically the embodiment of an elf.
However, she was a snow spirit, and her body exuded a cold aura that made people dare not approach her easily.
During the day, Xia Sheng was worried that she might not be at school, but he didn't expect to run into her that night.
But how did she end up in a place like this with him?
What exactly is this place?
"Am I dreaming?" The girl stroked her chin, ignoring Xia Sheng, and pondered with her head down.
"Should we pinch ourselves?" Xia Sheng couldn't help but strike up a conversation with her.
"A little self-reflection? Yeah, that makes sense..."
The girl nodded, pinched the soft flesh on her left arm with her right hand, and then squeezed hard.
Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly: "I feel pain, so it's not a dream? Or is it a lucid dream?"
"Why don't we think about it together? You probably won't have any clue on your own," Xia Sheng suggested.
"So who exactly are you? Why are you in my dream?" The girl stared at Xia Sheng warily, even though she believed it was her dream.
Her understanding and her beliefs prevented her from doubting other possibilities, after all, she had just gone to bed.
"Why do you think it's your dream? Is it possible that this is my dream?" Xia Sheng retorted.
"We've never met before, so it's impossible for me to dream about you," the girl said calmly.
"That's normal. People dream about people they've never met."
"You mean your dream lover? Sorry, I'm not interested in that kind of thing. No stranger has ever appeared in my dreams," the girl replied coldly.
"Then let's introduce ourselves first. Maybe we've heard of each other before," Xia Sheng said calmly, not minding the girl's attitude.
"you......"
The girl sized up Xia Sheng and asked, "Are you a student at Jingxiu Wenwu High School?"
"Why do you ask that?" Xia Sheng asked back.
"I'm not interested in strangers' names, but if you're a student at Jingxiu Wenwu High School, you must have heard of me," the girl said confidently.
"So confident? But you're only half right."
"Half?" The girl looked at him in confusion.
"I am indeed a student at Jingxiu Wenwu High School, but I just enrolled during the day. I have never heard of your name before," Xia Sheng said truthfully.
He was telling the truth; although he knew her, he hadn't heard her name or any information about her today.
"Just enrolled? That transfer student?"
"It seems you know me." Xia Sheng laughed.
"Then I couldn't possibly dream about you. I've never met you, so how could I dream about you so clearly?" the girl analyzed calmly.
"Don't rush, let's introduce ourselves first. My name is Xia Sheng, and I'm a transfer student who joined Jingxiu Wenwu High School today. I'm in Class F of the first year," Xia Sheng calmly introduced himself.
"My name is Yukino Yukinoshita, and I'm a first-year student in Class J." The girl, Yukino Yukinoshita, politely introduced herself.
"Yukinoshita-kun? Her name suits her perfectly," Natsumi commented.
"I don't need you to tell me, just tell me what's going on?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked coldly.
"How do you know this is my fault? Weren't you just wondering if it was a dream?"
"Excluding my possibility, it's only you left. I don't think this situation can be explained by a dream. Besides, this happened just as you started school today, it's hard not to suspect that you're involved," Yukino Yukinoshita analyzed calmly.
"Okay, it is indeed related to me," Xia Sheng admitted.
"So, you're the one who dragged me here?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, glancing around again.
There was absolutely nothing there, it was like a hole in the ground.
"No, this has nothing to do with me." Xia Sheng shook his head.
"Then why am I here?"
"It's simple. Since you're here, you must have something to do."
Natsumi guessed that this was what He meant by helping Him, and that Yukino Yukinoshita's appearance might be related to her belonging to this world.
Protecting this world cannot rely solely on him, an outsider.
Surely it couldn't be that he brought her to a place like this just because he wanted to see her, right?
What do you want him to do?
"What do I need to do?" Yukino Yukinoshita fell into deep thought.
Despite exuding an aura that keeps strangers at bay, her furrowed brows still possess a breathtaking beauty.
Only by seeing her face directly can one truly appreciate her beauty.
Just as Xia Sheng was getting engrossed in watching, a voice sounded in his mind.
[Destroy it.]
"I think our task has come to fruition." Xia Sheng looked into the depths of darkness, where something was shimmering.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Natsuo's words, Yukino Yukinoshita stopped thinking and looked up in the direction of his gaze.
In the darkness, something was flickering and dancing, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, becoming clearer and brighter. It was round and not very big, probably only a little bigger than a watermelon.
When it emerged from the darkness in this form, Natsumi was dumbfounded.
"What is that?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the cute, unidentified creature with a puzzled expression; she didn't recognize it.
"It's a slime?" Natsumi said, uttering the creature's name.
What appeared before them was a round, jelly-like creature—the weakest monster in the other world—a slime.
Its overall color is white with a faint blue tinge, and there is a hard lump inside that looks like a core.
Is it something that He cannot deal with?
Xia Sheng was skeptical.
"What is a slime?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, puzzled.
"This is a slime, the weakest monster that appears in isekai manga or light novels," Natsumi explained.
"I see... So, we have to deal with it?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked knowingly.
"No problem, leave it to me." Xia Sheng said confidently as he walked towards the slime.
He really didn't take him seriously; he's not some kind of cute king.
Moreover, it's impossible for Him to suddenly make him deal with something he can't handle, right?
Standing before the adorable slime, Xia Sheng sized it up. It seemed harmless, but since it was connected to polluting the world, he couldn't let it go.
Xia Sheng picked up a piece of gravel from the ground, gripped it tightly, raised it, and prepared to smash it into its core.
But just then, the slime suddenly moved. Its tiny body flew up in a flash and slammed hard into Xia Sheng's abdomen.
Xia Sheng's eyes widened instantly. Before he could react, he was thrown backward and flew backward, crashing heavily into the stone wall.
He then fell to the ground and lay motionless, as if he were dead.
Xia Sheng was not dead, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. His whole body felt like it was falling apart, and he lay on the ground unable to move.
He felt as if he had been hit by a truck, and the impact brought back unpleasant memories.
Is this slime really that strong?
