Chapter 164 Kaguya Shinomiya's Thoughts
"Xia Sheng, what's going on?"
When Sakurajima Mai saw that Natsuo was actually eating the slime's corpse, she was so surprised that she forgot his purpose and was dumbfounded.
"Huh? You forgot? If I want to acquire their abilities, I can only do so by consuming their flesh and blood," Xia Sheng explained vaguely.
This pure blue slime has a slightly less appealing texture; it's neither warm nor cold, just at room temperature.
And it has absolutely no taste.
Xia Sheng chewed twice, then swallowed it directly, and then threw the corpse in his hand away with disgust.
"I almost forgot..." Mai Sakurajima remembered Natsumi's explanation when he hugged her earlier, and that they had discussed this matter last week.
"Is everything alright?" she couldn't help but ask.
Although they are slimes and look like jelly, it's still a bit strange to eat their flesh directly.
She didn't have any objection, after all, Xia Sheng did this to become stronger, to protect them, and to protect the world.
They can't do anything, so what right do they have to complain?
"No problem, I can easily digest the new ability I've gained," Xia Sheng replied.
He carefully sensed the changes within his body, and the process of devouring himself began.
After a while, once the slime's flesh was digested, he found that he had not gained any abilities.
But there has been a slight change.
He felt as if his body had become stronger.
Can consuming pure blue slimes strengthen the body?
Xia Sheng looked at the other slime corpses with shining eyes. Could each one strengthen his body?
Without hesitation, he grabbed another half of the corpse, brought it to his mouth, and took a big bite.
"Natsuo?!" Mai Sakurajima exclaimed in surprise.
Xia Sheng did not respond. After chewing twice, he swallowed and carefully felt the changes in his body.
The devouring ability was still active, but after digesting it, he did not feel any changes in his body.
He was a little unsure, so he grabbed another piece and took a bite.
The result was the same.
Does this mean that the same creature can only be devoured once?
Come to think of it, if one could keep devouring and absorbing, that would be invincible.
"Sigh." Xia Sheng helplessly threw away the corpse and sighed in disappointment.
"Natsuo, what's wrong?" Mai Sakurajima asked again.
"It's nothing, just a little disappointed."
"Is it that I can't acquire abilities?"
"No, it's not that. It's that I can't gain more abilities. This slime can strengthen my body, but only once."
"I see, but as long as it can be strengthened, isn't that enough?" Mai Sakurajima comforted her.
That's one way of saying it...
"It's good to be content sometimes," Mai Sakurajima patted his shoulder and advised.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Xia Sheng put aside his greed and stood up.
"Let's go, we should head to the second floor."
"Hmm..." Natsumi looked at Kaguya Shinomiya.
She hasn't left yet; it seems she can go to the second floor today.
The progress is faster than Mai Sakurajima's.
However, it's also possible that it's because Yukino and the others won't be coming.
We can't just call them back after they've just left, can we?
"President Shinomiya, let's go together."
"it is good."
The three of them walked together toward the cave entrance.
Kaguya Shinomiya went to the second floor for the first time, and she originally thought she would have to wait for a while.
After all, that's how Mai Sakurajima is.
Along the way, she looked around curiously.
This place is truly amazing. I don't know where it is, but it can summon them out of thin air.
In the past, she would never have believed such a thing.
The importance of firsthand experience.
Upon arriving on the second floor, Kaguya Shinomiya finally witnessed the area that everyone feared.
Just as they said, it wasn't much different from the first floor, except that there were fewer stone pillars and it was a bit brighter.
The intruders on this floor are goblins.
She hasn't seen it in person yet. Although she has heard people describe it and seen images of it, it's still not as good as seeing it with her own eyes.
"It's restored as expected." Xia Sheng looked at the stone wall, which had returned to its original state, just as he had anticipated.
When he and Yukino Yukinoshita returned to the first floor, they found that the environment had returned to normal, so they realized that this place could quickly and automatically repair itself.
He had previously thought that he needed to wait a whole night.
However, the intruder's body was also gone, which puzzled him.
Was it cleaned up?
"What restoration?" Mai Sakurajima asked him.
"I destroyed this place with wind blade magic before, but it has been restored to its original state now, and the goblin's body is gone," Xia Sheng explained.
"Is that so?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It seems that Yukino and the others really aren't coming," Natsumi changed the subject.
If they haven't shown up yet, it's obvious they're not coming.
"So what do we need to do?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked.
"Let's see how things go. If the intruders are the same as before, I'll deal with them directly. If they're different... I'll protect you." Xia Sheng smiled confidently at her.
"Okay..." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded gently.
She didn't understand why Xia Sheng was willing to go to such lengths to protect them.
At the beginning, he and they were just strangers, with no real relationship.
Because of kindness?
Because you like it?
They've never even dated or gotten to know each other, so how could this relationship make him give it his all?
And liking so many people... is it really possible?
Sacrificing one or two lives, prioritizing one's own, is that alright?
If it were her, she felt that she wouldn't have protected others in the first place, and would only have put herself first.
She couldn't understand Xia Sheng's thoughts at all; he was just too kind.
That's normal, after all, she didn't know Xia Sheng's true identity. He had liked them for a long time, and he knew everything about them all along.
Whether he would sacrifice himself to protect them is uncertain, but he will definitely do his best to protect them.
"Back off, the goblins are coming!"
Suddenly, Xia Sheng sternly warned them, shielding the two behind him.
The two obediently stayed behind him.
Xia Sheng stared into the depths, feeling the alarm bells in his heart, and understood who the intruders were this time.
Same as before.
Moreover, he did not sense any danger.
It seems that even the goblins can no longer pose a threat to him.
Soon, amidst the spatial fluctuations, six little goblins swaggered out.
Behind them was a large goblin.
"This is... a goblin..." Kaguya Shinomiya murmured as she looked at the goblin that had appeared.
"Does it feel dangerous?" Mai Sakurajima asked her softly.
"Um:::
"That's what I thought at first too, but with Xia Sheng here, you don't need to be afraid."
"Hmm... Why is Natsuo willing to protect us like this?" Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Natsuo's back and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know either," Mai Sakurajima shook her head. "So, are we just going to accept this without a second thought?"
"What does it matter? It's not like I can't make it up to him." Mai Sakurajima pouted.
"Huh?" Kaguya Shinomiya turned to look at her and immediately understood what she meant.
That intimate act that the transmission of magical power required was something she couldn't understand.
She's been reading a lot of novels lately and has started to understand this situation a bit, but something still feels off.
It was as if they were giving him special treatment.
And no other men were present.
Is Xia Sheng a special existence?
That's the only way to put it; otherwise, if they all came here, why was he the only one to receive the reward?
And they need to be intimate with him to obtain it.
That is, to establish a relationship with him.
This situation is also reasonable, and she understands it. If you don't establish a relationship and aren't close to someone, why should they share their abilities with you?
Moreover, judging from Xia Sheng's behavior, he is worthy of their affection for him.
He genuinely wanted to protect them, asking for nothing in return, relying solely on their willingness.
Kaguya Shinomiya felt somewhat fortunate to be here, especially since the special person she met was Natsuo.
Not everyone is so selfless.
Given their circumstances, anyone with even a slightly worse attitude could easily threaten them.
They are left with only two options: agree or die, and there is even the possibility of being forced.
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense that Xia Sheng is a special person.
"Compensation?"
Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Natsuo's retreating figure again, muttering to herself.
