Chapter 23: Reencounter with the World's Son, Shima Yousuke
Chapter 23: Reencounter with the World's Son, Shima Yousuke
"You're called Nanyezhou? That's a strange name, but it doesn't matter. Can you answer my previous question first?"
The elf maiden was genuinely curious about the "magic" Yecheng used earlier. Despite her broad knowledge, she had never seen any of the spells Yecheng used.
Moreover, even her magic shield had been corroded by the venomous dragon's toxic mist, yet Yecheng's magic seemed to provide perfect defense... No, the elf maiden only now realized that even without using magic, Yecheng seemed completely unaffected by the toxic mist!
"The magic I use... is a rather unique type of magic. You can call it 'Kido.'
So far, I am the only person in this world who has mastered this type of magic. You can consider it a kind of secret technique.
As for why I am unaffected by the venomous dragon's toxic mist, it's because I have the ability of 'Magic Immunity.'
No matter how powerful the venomous dragon's toxic mist is, it is still constructed from magic power, so it's normal that it can't affect me."
When the elf maiden heard that Yecheng had the 'Magic Immunity' ability, which could be considered a bug-like skill, she initially didn't believe it. After all, most people in this world use magic.
If what Yecheng said was true, then with the 'Magic Immunity' ability, Yecheng would be practically invincible in this world.
"Don't lie. When you faced the venomous dragon's toxic breath earlier,, you used a time K you,, you used your that secret technique to defend yourself with that magic-like technique."
Clearly, the elf maiden was referring to the scene where Yecheng used Kido 'Air81: Air Cut' to defend against the venomous dragon's toxic breath at close range.
"Oh, you mean that? It's because my body is completely immune to the effects of magic, but my clothes aren't.
If the venomous dragon's breath had hit me at close range, I would have been in a similar state to you now."
Hearing Yecheng mention this again, the elf maiden's face turned red to the tips of her ears.
However, just as she was about to say something, a third person suddenly appeared! Logi/cally, this place should have been a desolate wilderness, Furthermore, with the venomous dragon inhabiting here, the surrounding villages had long marked this area as a no-Go zone. At this time, there shouldn't have been any other people here.
But when Yecheng and the elf maiden, both showing caution, saw the figure becoming clearer through the toxic mist, their expressions of vigilance gradually changed.
Yecheng: "(￣￣) Shima Yousuke?"
Elf Maiden: "(_; Half-beastman?"
Indeed, the person who suddenly emerged through the toxic mist and appeared here was none other than Shima Yousuke, the other world traveler who had separated from Yecheng about a week ago.
He was currently wearing a tattered white casual outfit, with a red, tattered scarf-like strip wrapped around his neck.
As for why Yecheng addressed Shima Yousuke with a questioning tone after being separated only a week, it was entirely because in just that short time, the changes in Shima Yousuke were too drastic!
Originally, Shima Yousuke had been a rather ordinary-looking individual in this world of good in this world of handsome and beautiful people. His appearance was average at best.
Now, however, he was emaciated, with sunken cheeks, looking at least twenty twenty years older than if not for Yecheng's familiarity with Shima Yousuke, he might not have recognized him at all.
"Yecheng! You’re here too, looks like you must have already cleared that BOSS first.
And this person is… I’m sorry, it seems I’ve disturbed you. I’ll take my leave then."
After ten days, when Shima Yousuke encountered Yecheng again, he was initially quite pleased. After all, as fellow visitors from another world, Yecheng could be considered his fellow countryman.
Shima Yousuke originally wanted to catch up with Yecheng and show off how he had managed to survive and start his journey successfully.
However, when he saw the golden triangular crystal standing in the toxic mist and the ragged elf maiden inside it, Shima Yousuke instantly understood the situation and turned to leave.
Although he didn’t know much about such matters, he was still a healthy young man and naturally grasped what was happening.
Moreover, Shima Yousuke found this scene quite normal, just like the plot of a game where the player goes through great lengths to defeat the evil dragon and rescue the princess, after which they naturally live happily ever after.
Sega’s games also had similar scenarios, so Shima Yousuke didn’t find this strange at all.
"Wait a moment, I think you’ve misunderstood something! I have nothing to do with this person!"
"Yousuke, don’t leave so quickly. I was planning to check on you after completing this mission. From what I see, you’ve changed quite a bit since ten days ago… ah."
The first sentence was shouted by the elf maiden, as she felt that if the misunderstanding wasn’t cleared up, her reputation would be ruined.
The second, more indifferent statement came from Yecheng, who didn’t think anything had actually happened, so he saw no need to explain. Moreover, he believed that someone like Shima Yousuke, a pure gaming otaku, wouldn’t care about such things.
The elf maiden quickly put on a piece of clothing from her storage space and walked up to Shima Yousuke again, emphasizing, "Beastman, I’m telling you, I have nothing to do with that money-grubber.
While it’s true that he saved me, nothing happened between us like you’re imagining.
And this guy is both greedy and opportunistic. Even though he looks good and is strong, I wouldn’t like someone like him."
Upon hearing the elf maiden’s defense, Shima Yousuke didn’t show any understanding. Instead, his eyes turned slightly displeased as he said, "Miss, I think your words are a bit too harsh.
No matter what, Yecheng did save your life, didn’t he? Even if you don’t like him, you shouldn’t call him greedy and opportunistic.
In games, completing a stage earns you rewards, and completing tasks gives you money or equipment. Isn’t that normal?
Besides, I think Yecheng is a good person. He saved me once before and even divided his limited money with me."
The elf maiden was clearly a tsundere, but the era Shima Yousuke had come from, though modern, didn’t have the widespread popularity of the "tsundere" trait, so Shima Yousuke naturally found the elf maiden’s behavior incomprehensible.
