Chapter 51: Group Division
Chapter 51: Group Division
“If all of this is true, we must save them immediately!!”
Karyn said angrily, she got up from her seat, preparing to leave now. But Shelly who was beside her stopped her and looked at her face sternly.
“No Karyn, we can’t do that, we don’t know where they are and how strong they are, we need a plan if we want to save kidnapped people.”
“I know, it’s just that I don’t accept it, those scientists did terrible things to innocent people, I can’t just sit here and do nothing,” Karyn said in frustration.
“You have to calm down, Karyn. if we leave now without any plan, even if we know the location of those scientists, we will just kill ourselves there, I’m sure those scientists also have a great army or fighting power. If we want to save the others, we have to think calmly and come up with a plan,” Leila who was beside me, tried to calm Karyn down.
“Uuuh… Alright, I understand,” Karyn calmed down and sat back down.
The atmosphere became calm, everyone in the room looked at me and Dina, they seemed to want me to find this solution. I smile now they trust me completely, I look at Dina who was smiling while hugging my arm.
“Dina, do you remember, the way to where the scientists were?”
“Hmm? Lute, you wanna go there? That place is so horrible, I don’t want to go back there,” Dina looked at me with a pitiful look.
“No that’s not what I mean, we want to save other people who were kidnapped, we need your help, Dina,” I said reassuring her, she certainly doesn’t want to go back there, because she has bad memories of that place.
“W-alright, I’ll go with Lute with me, I don’t want anything to happen to Lute,” Dina said firmly.
“Hmmn… you two look like lovers, did something happen before?” Leila said teasingly, it seems her previous guess was right.
“Lo-lo-lovers!?”
Shelly had a blush on her face hearing this, she had never had such a relationship. But she suddenly remembered my previous state, she thought it seemed like it was true.
‘Did Lute do it with Dina? He said it was a side effect of his innate skill, it seems so,’ For some reason she felt a little regretful, refusing before.
“Hehehe… that’s right, we were lovers now!!” I said proudly.
Everyone here was surprised to hear my confession, they felt a little strange, because it seemed like Dina and I had just met but had ended up being a couple, plus Dina is a Slime is that fine? I ignored their surprised expressions and discussed the next plan.
“Alright now, the problem of enemy locations is resolved, what we need now is a plan,” I told them.
“What you said is right, we need a plan now,” Shelly said and everyone nodded.
“As I was about to return from the forest, I suspect, the scientists would have started to move by now since I found Monster footprints and lots of human footprints,” I said with a deep expression.
They all felt tense, after hearing my explanation. If that’s true, the village is now in danger, they must fight back against those scientists, otherwise, everyone is in danger.
“You found traces of the enemy? Do you know an approximate number of enemies,” Nylah who had been silent all this time began to speak.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know anything, when I first saw the trace, I became worried and just left it, I was afraid something would happen to you all,” I said with an apologetic expression.
Shelly felt warm in her heart after hearing my explanation, although I couldn’t give any information about the number of enemies.
“Shelly, we have to protect villagers now, if what he said is true, most likely, the enemy is already nearby,” Karyn said to Shelly with a serious expression.
“As you said, we will divide our group into three groups. Each group would guard a different location, and as night fell, we will divide our group into two groups, one will rest for three hours and the other will guard the village. This will be repeated until morning,” Shelly explained what we were going to do.
“Lute, you’re going to group with Dina, is that okay? It also seems that Dina doesn’t want to leave you,” Shelly looked at me.
“That’s fine,” I nodded.
“I will be with Karyn, while Leila will be with Nylah. I will also tell villagers not to leave the house for a while until we can defeat the enemy.”
“We understand,” Everyone in the room nodded, Shelly smiled seeing this.
“Okay, let’s start now.”
We all went out of the house and separated after that, I was guarding the farm section of the village. Woli followed me beside me, she seemed bored to be in the system. As for Dina, she got into my clothes, there’s no way she’s walking with me in the village, I’m sure a lot of people will be curious if there are slimes that have a human body. It also looks like Dina really likes being in my clothes, she really likes the feeling of warmth from my body and the smell of my body.
When I arrived here, an uncle with brown hair, cat ears, and tail looked at me curiously. This uncle is the owner of this farm, when he saw a human with an animal hovering beside him, of course, he was curious.
“Hey, boy what are you doing here?” Uncle came towards me with a smile.
I was surprised, it turns out that this uncle is not like other residents, he is quite nice and friendly to me.
“I’m on guard here, in case something happens like kidnapping or enemy attack,” I answered uncle’s question.
“Hahaha.. so you’re Shelly’s friend, I’m glad you helped us, this problem has bothered villagers like us, I really appreciate your help. How about entering my house first? I want to express my gratitude.” Uncle said he wanted to invite me to his house.
“No, it’s not necessary,” I tried to decline the invitation.
“Don’t mind it, it’s okay, let’s go in, bring your pet too, I also have something for it to eat,”
“P-pet?” Woli had a twitching expression.
Uncle pulled my hand into his house, I just smiled helplessly and followed him. Entering the house, everything looks simple, nothing special at all.
“Master, is this all right?” Woli asked me.
“I also don’t know, that uncle seems quite friendly, maybe he needs something from us,”
I was told to sit in the dining room, there was no one here, it seemed that this uncle lived alone. Not long after that uncle brought me some food and put it on the table.
“Let’s eat, you will definitely need energy later on guard in the village. You can also eat, little pet.” Uncle said with a smile
There’s meat soup served here, Woli doesn’t even care if there’s poison or not, she devours food on the table.
“Master, this is delicious,”
‘Where was her vigilance? She didn’t even care and ate greedily,’ I smiled wryly.
“Hahaha .. looks like this little pet can talk,” Uncle laughed.
Before eating it I asked uncle something.
“Uncle, do you live alone here? Where’s your family?”
“Before I lived with my wife here, my wife is also a human like you, although at first, she was not welcome here, after living here for a long time, everyone accepted us,” Uncle smiled.
“Before? What happened?” I asked curiously.
“She missing suddenly, I don’t even know where she goes away, maybe….maybe my wife was kidnapped like the others, please save my wife, I will do anything,”
Suddenly uncle said sadly and bowed his head begging me for help, I could only be stunned to hear this.
