I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Because she couldn't wait to get the commission, Huihui quickly contacted the old man and said that she had found someone who might fit her description. This made the old man, who had no clues, extremely moved.

However, after dinner, it was already very late, so we had no choice but to ask the old man to come back tomorrow morning.

The next day, Nero and the others also saw the old man who came in a hurry. It seemed that the old man was really worried about Darkness who ran away from home.

However, he was destined to be disappointed, because Nero and Alice were not the ones he was looking for.

To be on the safe side, Alice did not appear in front of the old man. There was a big difference between Alice and Darkness. As long as Nero told the old man Alice's age and body shape, he could easily eliminate Alice's suspicion.

Just like that, the misunderstanding was resolved.

Although he found the wrong person, the old man still gave Huihui some money as a consolation.

When Nero keenly caught the old man's involuntary expression of loss and fatigue after the misunderstanding was resolved, Nero felt a little sorry for the old man and was considering whether to tell him Darkness's information.

"What the hell...isn't it?"

"That's why I said that, Huihui, you just think about nonsense all day long."

Huihui, holding the purse, looked lost, while Yunyun blamed Huihui.

"But I think my reasoning is correct?"

"Stop talking and apologize to Miss Nero and Miss Alice."

So, in front of Alice and Nero, Huihui was reluctantly grabbed by Yunyun's head and bowed her head to admit her mistake.

…………

In the lush and verdant forest, Nero and his two companions were marching.

Nero was in the front, Alice was at the back, and Youyou, as a mage unit, was protected by the two in the middle.

In order to make up for the regret that Youyou did not come with them yesterday, and to reduce the invasion of monsters on the town, Nero and the others came to the forest to adventure again today.

"Is this okay?" Youyou cradled her staff, feeling a little uneasy. "Why not just go straight into the forest instead of using the lowest-level giant frogs to hone our coordination?"

"Hmm! I told you before that I don't really care about my teammates' abilities. You all just need to be a beautiful sight to please me. I'll handle the enemies and battles myself." Nero's confidence gradually infected Alice and Youyou. "Behind me is the safest harbor in the world, so relax."

"Yes, Miss Youyou."

At this time, Alice also quietly walked up to Youyou and comforted her, saying, "Sister is very powerful. Not long ago, I saw her defeat a powerful demon with my own eyes."

"Evil...devil!"

Youyou was completely surprised by Alice's words.

Alice seemed to be very satisfied with Youyou's reaction and started chatting as well.

"Yes, yes. At that time, I saw it with my own eyes. That powerful demon was surrounded by many high-level, well-equipped adventurers and knights. There were also magicians chanting spells in the back, but they were powerless against that terrifying demon."

Nero, who was walking in front, also heard the conversation between the two, but did not speak.

But, Alice, is it really okay for you to use those adventurers and the Knights as stepping stones for me? Claire and Rain beside you seem to be participating in the war, right?

Then, Nero heard Alice describe the demon's appearance to Yunyun, such as its fleshy wings like a pitch-black sky, its abyssal crimson compound eyes that could curse anyone with just a glance, its gigantic body taller than a house, and so on...

Is it so exaggerated?

"Is that... so scary? Could it be a great demon?"

"But even such a terrifying demon was defeated by my sister. She was chopped in half with a single 'swish'!"

"Wow! Is Miss Nero really that strong?!"

The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, especially Alice, who seemed to be more happy than when others praised her.

Feeling the admiring gazes from behind, Nero did not feel ashamed but took it for granted.

"I am the greatest being in heaven and earth! It is only natural that I should be revered!"

The ancients said that one should not become complacent because of praise and rewards.

But Nero had no need to worry about this, because she would be just as arrogant whether anyone praised her or not.

Suddenly, Nero's eyes fixed.

This world has a skill called "sensing enemies", and the male protagonist Kazuma has this skill.

Although Nero does not have this skill, he can use [Emperor's Privilege EX] to achieve a similar effect.

When they saw Nero stop, Alice and Youyou, who were chatting excitedly, immediately got into battle preparations.

Holding their breath, the three people looked at a patch of grass in front of them on the left.

The grass began to shake, making a rustling sound. After a while, a little guy slowly moved out of the grass.

Snow-white fluffy fur, red eyes, long ears, and a pointed horn on top of its head.

It turned out to be a rabbit with horns.

"so cute!"

Youyou was immediately captivated by the cuteness of this little rabbit.

"Chirp—"

The little rabbit in front of him cried out, staring at Nero and the other two, and tilted his head slightly.

"Wow! So cute... How can it be so cute?"

Girls always have no way to deal with such cute little guys, and now Alice has been captured by him too.

Two people came up to the little rabbit and talked to each other.

"Little guy, why are you here? It's very dangerous here. If those scary monsters see you, you'll be in danger and get eaten."

"Are you hungry, little one? Do you want to eat?"

Youyou, who had been conquered, took out the vegetable sticks that she was probably going to eat for lunch and put them on the ground.

"Miss Youyou, do you have any vegetable sticks? I want to try feeding them myself..."

Alice said this to Youyou.

On the ground, the little rabbit moved crookedly closer to the vegetable stick, sniffed it, then raised its head to look at Youyou and Alice.

"It's okay, I still have a lot here, if you want to eat..."

Youyou originally thought that the little rabbit was afraid of her, and was about to say something when she was interrupted by a gust of wind.

"Whoosh-!"

Chapter 267 Don’t underestimate the slime

Youyou was so scared that she sat down on the ground, with a lingering fear on her face.

A sharp horn stopped right in front of her eye, with a cold light flashing at the tip.

"Chirp—!"

The little white rabbit screamed, and unlike the soft and sticky sound before, it contained ferocity and anger.

It struggled with all its strength, but a white hand held it firmly.

"Hmm! It's not like there aren't any monsters like that."

Nero said calmly, "He uses his cute appearance to paralyze others, and then uses a thunderbolt to kill them. He is a very cunning and vicious monster."

After saying that, Nero threw the little rabbit into the air, and when it had nowhere to gain leverage, he swung his sword and killed it.

Although this unicorn rabbit is very agile, it is not too difficult to deal with as long as you can see through its disguise.

Afterwards, Nero and others walked forward for a while and found a group of horned rabbits surrounding the corpse of an unknown monster and gnawing on it.

There were many penetrating wounds on the monster's body, which seemed to have been caused by the rabbits' horns. If Nero had not been next to Youyou, Youyou might have become like this.

Despite having such a cute appearance, it is actually carnivorous.

This world is indeed dangerous.

As mentioned before, these rabbits are very agile, small in size and numerous in number.

"I finally understand why I was so inexplicably wary of you."

With a light swing of the flaming sword, more than a dozen rabbits were killed. Nero spoke slowly with a complicated expression.

"Because you are so similar to the big rabbit that once traumatized me... But fortunately, you can't multiply indefinitely like the big rabbit."

A rabbit that looks harmless but is actually very cruel.

Isn't this the big rabbit that ate Natsuki Subaru bit by bit in Re0?

Among all the ways that Natsuki Subaru died, this one was unique in its cruelty.

First the hands, then the thighs, then the stomach was bitten through bit by bit, the internal organs were gnawed, the tongue was torn out, and the eyeballs were pecked out...

After that death rollback, the lingering pain still tormented Natsuki Subaru, making him curl up on the ground in agony. It took him a long time to come back to his senses... It was so miserable.

When I was following the anime, this was one of the most impressive ways Nero died.

So when Nero saw these rabbits, he felt something was wrong.

"Wow! It appears! One of the most classic otherworldly monsters."

"What is Sister Nero saying..."

Glancing at the inexplicably excited Nero, Alice asked in confusion, "Isn't this just a slime?"

"Hmmmm, Alice, don't underestimate slimes." Nero smiled slightly and said, "I've seen it before. A slime became the demon king of a world."

"Demon... Demon King? Is that true? Can a slime become a demon king? Sister Nero, are you kidding me?"

"I'm not lying. That slime is one of the eight demon kings of that world, the eight-star demon king, the rising star—Rimuru Tempest."

"Eight...eight demon kings? What kind of world would that be?...Our world has only one demon king, and we're already at war. I can't imagine what it would be like to have eight demon kings in one world... Life must be very difficult for the people in that world."

"If you're curious, I can tell you about that world... but I don't know much about it."

Alice seemed to think that Rimuru was some very evil guy, perhaps because the title of Demon King Rimuru was too scary. After all, the Demon King in this world has always been a dark cloud hanging over the heads of mankind, and the war between humans and demons has never stopped.

But Rimuru is actually a good person... He even promotes peaceful coexistence between humans and monsters. On the contrary, it is the humans who actively initiated the war against the Monster Alliance that seem more like the bad guys.

Therefore, Nero planned to tell Alice the story of the cute king Rimuru after returning, trying to leave a good impression in Alice's heart.

Because Nero really likes Rimuru. When she got her first mobile phone, she used Rimuru as her wallpaper, screen saver and QQ avatar.

only……

“Rimuru is so cute, his charm even transcends gender, but you and your kind are so disgusting…”

The slimes in this world are slippery, disgusting, slug-like goo.

Youyou was so frightened by these slimes that her face turned pale.

"Hmm! If possible, the slimes I'd rather see are those of the cute king type... soft, plump, and super cool to hold in the summer... Or the kind in "Three Hundred Years of Slime Shooting..." would be fine too. Not only are they cute, but they can also be raised as daughters..."

"Miss Nero, stop talking to yourself! Come and save me!"

Youyou, who was on the verge of collapse, called for help from Nero.

In many worlds, slimes are the lowest level monsters, even worse than goblins, the kind that can be dealt with by a child with a sturdy wooden stick.

However, in this world, slimes seem to be the nightmare of many adventurers.

Because the slimes in this world are immune to physical attacks, only magic can cause damage to them. At the same time, the slime of the slime will cause huge damage to equipment. The durability of weapons, armor and clothing will drop very quickly when touched by the slime.

I heard that one of the eight leaders of the Demon King's army is a slime.

At first, Nero didn't know the characteristics of these slimes, so he swung his sword and cut a slime in half.

However, the slime that was cut in half did not die, but turned into two smaller slimes that continued to attack Nero.

Fortunately, the flames on the greatsword can cause damage to these slimes.

Youyou's magic can cause huge damage to these slimes. Almost one magic spell can take away a large group of them. However, these slimes also cause huge mental damage to Youyou, so in the end, Youyou, who has lost her composure, needs Nero to rescue her.

Nero originally thought that Alice would be helpless against these slimes, but he didn't expect that Alice could actually use magic.

The golden lightning fell like an iron hammer bringing down punishment.

Each time Alice casts magic, she can clear a large area of ​​slime.

"What...what is this? Why have I never heard of this magic?"

Youyou, who was protected by Nero, was very surprised and puzzled when she saw Alice performing magic.
