Ch.21 Versus Slimes

"Ah, slimes!"

Just a short walk away.

There are several slimes there that look just like the ones I'd seen very recently.

"Your physical abilities and defensive capabilities have been enhanced the moment you enter the dungeon. Try to fight calmly. If things look dangerous, I will intervene before you get hurt."

"Okay! Then let me! It's fine right? ...Yaaa!"

Hinata-san, who had always wanted to fight monsters, immediately swung her weapon and charged forward.

She's amazing, being able to wield such a heavy-looking greatsword.

If It's me, I'd probably get squashed.

"Yumetsuki-san, try casting your magic... towards the slime that's located some distance away from Mukoubi-san."

"Y-yes."

As she cautiously reaches out with both hands as if searching for something, flames appear like a CG effect.

She hesitated for a moment, but then she pushes it forward even more... and it soars off.

"Pigiii!"

"... So, this is magic...!"

[Poor Slime-chan]

[Thinking about the fate of the farmed slime-shans used in beginner training sessions, something every dungeon explorer experiences at least once...]

[But think about it, they're going to be defeated by a beautiful girl, you know?]

[That is the best]

[lol]

[But still, they feel so fresh it's lovely]

[Yeah... this is what being a beginner is like after all]

[I usually just drop in on streams of people I'm familiar with, so this is incredibly refreshing]

[So, what about Yuzu-chan?]

[She's obviously going to have her unicorn attack, right?]

[But can it really do it? With that appearance?]

[It's totally looks like a stuffed animal, after all]

[Well, I guess it could at least attack by just ramming into them, probably]

With a cheerful voice, Hinata-san is taking down the monsters one by one, even though she's fumbling a bit with her weapon.

Yumetsuki-san seemed to have enjoyed the magic, and with a slightly happy expression on her face, she's now attacking with a water bullet magic.

"Hoshino-san."

"Ah, instructor-san."

As I was idly watching the two of them, she came over to me and gently stroked my and Omanju's head.

"...It's okay."

"Hmm..."

"Kyui..."

[Ah (sudden death)]

[A sudden and poignant death]

[Because it's just too cute!]

[Exactly!]

[Yuzu-chan and her pet closing their eyes while being petted...]

[Why is Yuzu-chan so cute in every way...?]

"Hoshino-san is a tamer. When you're not used to it, just point to the monster you want to target and say, 'Defeat that one,' and it should understand. It might be scary at first, but you'll get used to it."

A kind instructor.

It feels so good when my head is gently stroked like this.

Lately, even when Okaa-san tries to do it to me, I feel embarrassed and end up avoiding her... It's because it's a stranger that I feel like I can rely on them.

...It's okay once in a while, right?

"Besides, even if you tame them, monsters are still monsters. Apparently, they don't feel fear unless they're up against someone significantly stronger."

"Hmm……"

[●REC]

[Yuzu-chan and a unicorn getting thei head petted]

[So cute]

[Too precious]

[Yuzu-chan's sweet voice...it's really nice]

[What are these adorable creatures?]

[This is the lol* who caught the eye of a unicorn...!]

"……Thank you very much."

"Kyui."

If this keeps on going, I'll want to be petted forever, so I'll do my best to get back to normal.

Omanju is jiggling and lookint up at ne as if to say, "Let's do it quickly."

"Hinata-san, please step back for now."

"Eeeehhhh!?"

"Party members should contribute within reasonable limits, and the rewards should be distributed as equally as possible. Consideration for others' fatigue and injuries, as well as the distribution of the rewards, is essential when forming a party."

"...Ah, I see. If I take the lead too much, I'll end up monopolizing the rewards."

"Also, there's the risk of being surrounded. If you're going to be on the front lines, be careful."

"Yes!"

[How smart]

[She's a little girl, but she's smart]

[Yeah, that's true, melee classes are always the ones that get the kills]

[If you don't give your backline or support a role in the fight, even if the rewards are equal, their level and skills won't increase, which is sad.]

[I understand]

[That's what you should consciously try to do]

[So many parties are falling apart over who gets the most credit for the battles...]

[Well, everyone usually messes up in the first party they form anyway]

[Exactly!]

[Expulsion dramas happen at quite a few parties, don't they...]

[People grow stronger by bearing their own burdens of suffering...]

[And those who didn't grow up...]

[Successfully added to the blacklist]

[Sad]

Hinata, who had gone ahead chasing a slime, comes hopping back.

"I'm sorry, Yuzuki-chan."

"No, thank you."

[So kind]

[A gentle world]

[To us, who are utterly tainted, it's dazzling]

[Yeah……]

"Well then, Hoshino-san, I'll protect you if necessary, so let's go to that monster."

"I'll protect you too!"

"...I will also be working from the shadows."

"Thank you"

Saying that, Instructor-san gently pushed me forward, as I was hesitant to move forward.

Following that, Hinata-san comes and snuggles up right next to me, while Yumetsuki-san stands beside her.

[So cute]

[Good……]

[True yuri is here]

[But they're going to break up anyway]

[They'll get a boyfriend each eventually... it's inevitable...]

[They're so cute, and so young.]

[Ugh...]

[Why would you say something like that?!]

[lol]

"...Phew"

A group of slimes, half-destroyed, are being chased by Hinata-san and hit with magic from behind by Yumetsuki-san.

……I'm scared.

Even though I managed to defeat skme back then, it's still scary.

"Kyui?"

……But.

I have Omanju in my arms now.

"...Will you fight alongside me?"

"Kyui!"

The voice seemed to say, "Leave it to me."

"...It's...it's scary, but I'll do my best! ...I'm not the one doing the attacking, though..."

[So cute]

[So cute]

[She talks like a boy...]

[A shota?!?]

[There's a shota here!!]

[Calm down]

[There's no way such a cute person could be a boy.]

[It can't be!]

[lol]

[It's obvious from the unicorn attached to her from the start lol]

[Therein lies a glimmer of hope...]

[No]

[No way]

[It's a unicorn, so there's no chance of her being a boy]

[That's reassuring]

[While the unicorn is around, there are definitely no men around, and the girl would never have a boyfriend... so I can watch her with peace of mind...]
