Chapter 128 Holding a Girl in One's Arms for a Killing
The "Newcomer Killer," as the name suggests, is an assassin targeting newcomers; however, it's not a human, but a monster.
After all, Axel is a beginner village, and it's perfectly normal for many new adventurers to fall victim to its minions.
This is why it's called a "newcomer killer".
The rookie assassin was located in the forest outside the town. Shi Chen, carrying Youyou Space, moved to the city gate and walked with her towards the forest.
Of course, we're still holding hands.
"Um, the time..." Feeling the large hand enveloping her, Youyou blushed slightly, looked down, and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Shi Chen looked at her dangerously.
"No, it's nothing..."
"Let's go then."
"Hmm...::::" Youyou's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and let Shichen hold her hand.
The two walked slowly, passing through plains, swarms of giant frogs, and a huge crater created by Huihui, before finally arriving at the forest.
There are so many giant frogs; during their breeding season, huge numbers of them appear every day.
That's good too. At least most adventurers are easy to deal with, and you can earn a decent income. Plus, their meat is indeed delicious.
In this other world, there's absolutely no need to worry about the frogs having any parasites.
At the entrance to the forest, there were still traces of the battle left in the morning. Houst was completely gone, not even a trace remained, but the damage caused by Huihui's explosion magic was still there.
As expected of humanity's most powerful attack method, looking at the charred crater, Shi Chen felt it must have had a power level comparable to a nuclear bomb.
After all, most of the damage was absorbed by Houst.
However, there is one thing that nuclear bombs cannot compare to: explosive magic does not pose much of a radiation hazard.
"Shichen, where are we going to find that rookie assassin?" Youyou asked curiously.
"Luna told me it lives in the forest, and the commotion this morning should have made it hide. We need to look for it."
"
"Will it keep hiding?"
"Probably not. We look so much like newbies. If that guy finds us, he'll definitely attack us."
"Shichen, you're no newbie. You made the attack of the high-ranking demon ineffective with a simple spell," Youyou said with a smile.
"That's just the power of fire, and I've only been an adventurer for a short time. Aren't I a newbie?" Shichen asked with a smile.
"What newbie could possibly handle a high-ranking demon?" Youyou retorted.
"Hehe~ That was made by Huihui, what does it have to do with me?"
"Shichen, you're too good at making excuses."
"Haha~ Enough said, let's find that rookie killer."
"It's okay to go a little slower..."
?
"What?"
"It's nothing, let's go in!" Youyou took the initiative to pull Shichen into the forest.
Shi Chen smiled, took her hand tightly, and followed her.
Youyou walked slowly, carefully observing her surroundings and wary of any sounds. However, perhaps due to the morning's influence,
Not a single monster was seen.
"Don't go any further ahead."
Just as Youyou was about to step into the depths of the forest, Shichen stopped her.
"Talk? But we haven't found anything."
"The rookie killers there wouldn't dare go. Let's look somewhere else."
"All right."
This time it was Shichen's turn to lead the way. He changed direction and led Youyou along.
There was no danger just now, and Youyou relaxed as she followed the time, but couldn't help but pay attention to the two holding hands.
She didn't know why Shichen was holding her hand and wouldn't let go. It couldn't have been intentional, could it?
She didn't have many friends before, let alone hold hands with someone of the opposite sex. The warm, enveloping feeling made her suddenly realize how big a man's hand could be.
Just having your hand held feels like having your heart held as well.
Nervous, excited, and at ease.
"Time..." Youyou suddenly spoke slowly.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you like Huihui?"
"Hmm? Why do you ask that?" Shi Chen stopped and looked at her.
Youyou mustered her courage and looked Shichen in the eye: "Although you seem to be bullying Huihui, I can tell that you actually dote on her a lot."
"Yeah?"
"And Megumin is so cute, and so amazing too."
"You're cute too," Shichen said.
"Huh? Ah, um..." Youyou suddenly became embarrassed.
"Hehe~ Be more confident, Youyou. You're no worse than Huihui. You're cute, have a better figure than her, and are very powerful. Intermediate magic is much stronger than normal people in your hands."
"R-really?"
"What? Don't you believe me?" Shi Chen asked back.
No... I believe you.
"That's more like it! Be confident. You're no worse than anyone else, and you should be able to learn advanced magic soon, right?"
"How...how did you know?"
"Because you have the ability."
"Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?" Shi Chenyang pretended to be angry.
"Yes, no..."
"Stop, I don't need your apology."
"That..
"Youyou didn't know what to say."
'
"We're teammates, right?"
"Um!"
Do you know how teammates should express gratitude or apologize to each other?
"No, I don't know..."
"It's very simple, just give the other person a hug."
"Is that so?" Youyou blinked.
"What? You don't believe me again?"
No, I believe you.
"Hmph, so now you know what you should do, right?"
"Huh? Well... I understand."
Youyou looked at Shichen shyly, lowered her head, then closed her eyes and, as if she had made up her mind, suddenly threw herself into Shichen's arms.
The other person charged at her with the ball, but Shi Chen was very strong and not only withstood the attack, but also grabbed the other person and controlled her.
She was so gentle and delicate, and so petite, that it was very comfortable to hold her. That's why he couldn't help but lie to her against his conscience.
However, she was not deceived; she did it willingly.
After all, no matter how naive someone is, they know that gratitude or apology isn't expressed through hugs, at least not between teammates.
"Shichen...: Can I ask a question?" Youyou hugged Shichen's lower back, buried her face in his chest, breathed in his scent, and asked with her eyes closed.
"What?"
"Why did you suddenly hug me the night before last?"
"Didn't I tell you? I was just kidding. I wanted to show you how scary it is to go into a room of the opposite sex in the middle of the night."
"Is...it really like that?"
"You don't believe me?"
"A little..."
"Then... guess for yourself," Shichen replied cheerfully.
"Why is this happening?" Youyou couldn't help but look up at him.
"However, I can give you a hint."
"What hint?"
"You can't use this way of expressing gratitude or apologizing on other people, understand?"
Why?
"Think for yourself. Also, you can come to me this way whenever you're happy or sad."
"oh.::
"Good girl, here's a reward for you." Shi Chen couldn't resist and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"Mistaken?" Youyou was stunned. She stared wide-eyed at the time.
However, at this moment, Shi Chen raised an eyebrow and showed displeasure: "It seems that something has come to disturb us."
"what?"
Shi Chen hugged Youyou tightly, and with a light leap, jumped onto a nearby tree branch.
Swipe!
A black shadow flashed past where the two had just been standing, then stopped under the tree.
"What's that?!" Youyou noticed it too.
"That's the rookie killer," Shi Chen replied.
Beneath the tree where the two were, a black monster resembling both a wolf and a lion bared its teeth, gazing at them from afar with eyes full of hunger.
"Is it a killer for newcomers? What should we do?"
"It's simple, just like dealing with giant frogs."
"Huh? It's that simple?"
"Although we are newcomers, we are not truly newcomers."
"That's true."
"Okay, hold on tight, I'm going to jump."
"Huh? Why?"
"This guy is bothering us, I want to kick him a couple of times."
"Hmm, get ready, let's put it to sleep first!" Shichen said, and jumped down.
"Wait—sleep!" Youyou could only frantically use magic.
The purple magic instantly enveloped the rookie killer, and it couldn't help but feel drowsy. At that moment, the hour had already fallen upon it.
"Riderkick!"
Holding Youyou, Shichen kicked it hard on the head, then used the momentum to land safely a short distance away.
"Roar!" The rookie assassin roared as he fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
"What is Riderkick?" Youyou asked curiously.
"Don't worry about it, prepare to deliver the fatal blow, fireball."
"Oh, okay... Lightning strike!"
"Hoichi!"
Golden flames and lightning struck the rookie killer. It wailed in pain, offering little resistance. Within seconds, it lost its life, turning into a blackened lump of ashes.
