A slime came out of the pillar

"So those ghosts are afraid of wisterias."

Chloe, who somehow defeated the hand ghost, listened to Satoshi's narration, and nodded as if suddenly enlightened.

He and Sato are limping towards the halfway up the mountain. The night has passed, and the brilliance of the morning light is faintly revealing from the other end of the mountain. Selected members send a signal that the danger is over.

Chloe got a lot of useful information from Satoshi. For example, this mountain is called Fujisan Mountain, and it was bought by an organization called Demon Slayer Squad as an assessment site. They planted wisterias in the mountain, After trapping the captured ghosts here, those who can survive in this mountain for seven days will be able to complete the assessment.

In the past, there were farms where ghosts raised people in captivity, and later, there were examination fields where ghosts were locked up.

"Ah, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sato, thank you for saving me just now." Sato said while reaching out and rubbing Chloe's head, his movements looked very skillful.

"My name is Chloe."

"Chloe...it seems like a Westerner's name. Speaking of which, how did you come to this mountain?"

No matter how Sato looks at Chloe, he doesn't look like a member who is going to participate in the trial. I'm curious how he broke into this mountain. People come in.

"Uh... I got lost and accidentally broke in."

Regarding this matter, Chloe didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't really tell the other party that he fell from the sky. Besides, he just learned from the mouth of the "Great Sage" that the magic magnetic field of this world and the previous It's different in GF, I'm afraid he came to another world.

【answer.To put it simply, the violent fluctuation of magic power tore apart the space, creating a gap between time and space, and you just passed through that gap to a new world. 】

The "Great Sage" said this, and Chloe didn't understand it very well, so she didn't know how to explain it to Sato.

But fortunately, Satoshi saw that it was difficult for him to ask this question, so he didn't ask any more deliberately, but raised his eyes gently and looked forward: "We are here."

Eh?

Chloe followed him and stopped, and found that they had walked into another wisteria forest. Unlike the flower sea where Chloe stayed before, there was a large open space in the wisteria forest halfway up the mountain. A lot of people have already gathered.

One of the boys with short black hair was looking around. When he saw Satoshi walking slowly not far away, he turned around quickly and said to another boy standing next to him in surprise: "Look! Your friend I'm back!"

Hearing his excited voice, the originally expressionless young man quickly raised his head, and his blue eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, shone with a gleam of light again.

"Great, Yoshiyuki, you're all right."

Seeing a familiar friend, Sato immediately stepped up and walked in front of him, patted his shoulder with a smile, and introduced to Chloe, "This is my brother from the same school, named Giyu Tomioka."

"Hi Tomioka-kun, I'm Chloe."

"..."

"Yiyong, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the young man in front of him staring blankly at him and not answering, Satu couldn't help feeling a little worried, stretched out his hand and waved tentatively in front of him: "Could it be that your brain is broken?"

"He has been in a coma for six days, and he has been like this since he woke up, maybe..." The person next to him who knew his situation couldn't help speculating in a bad direction.

"No." Yi Yong said unexpectedly, lowering his head and interrupting his words.

Sabito looked at him suspiciously, and after noticing the change in his expression, his expression gradually became helpless. From Chloe's perspective, he could clearly see a few teardrops dripping down Giyuu's cheeks to the ground.

"No..." His voice was choked with sobs, he firmly grasped Satu's hand full of sores from holding the knife for a long time, but he refused to look up at him, and the voice couldn't reach the back. It was getting smaller and smaller, but Sato, who was closer to him, could still hear clearly.

"I'm just...so happy."

……

Not only Yiyong, but several other members who passed the assessment were also very excited when they saw Saito, and went up to thank him one after another. For a while, Saito became the king of popularity, surrounded by people.

The team member who was standing next to Yiyong just now was named Murata. According to him, if it wasn't for the timely appearance of Sato.It is estimated that he died in that deep mountain long ago.

"Welcome everyone back safely."

Just as everyone was talking about expressing their gratitude for the rest of their lives, two clear and crisp child voices suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Chloe looked along the source of the sound, and found that there were two girls who looked like zashiki wares standing there at some point. They were wearing kimonos with wisteria patterns, and wisteria flower headdresses on the left and right sides of their heads.

Their expressions are the same, their mouth shapes are the same, and even their speech speed and voice are exactly the same: "Congratulations to everyone who passed the final trial. First, please accept the ration of uniforms, measure your height and size, and then engrave your rank."

Chloe listened to the two girls' introduction of the ranks, and found that the ghost killing team was quite organized and disciplined. The ration of clothing and weapons was clearly arranged, and there was even a special communication prop—a crow.

"From now on, there will be crows following everyone."

As soon as the voice fell, a black flock of birds flew from the sky and landed slowly on the shoulders of each member.

Amidst the twittering noise, Chloe stared blankly at the crow standing above her head, why did he have one too?

"Next, I invite you to choose jade steel as the material for forging knives." The two girls stepped back a few steps as they spoke, and everyone discovered that there was a table behind them, and they lifted the cover on the table. The purple cloth shows various jade steels of different sizes for everyone to choose from.

Sato and Yoshiyuki also walked forward to choose along with others, while Chloe walked to the two girls standing aside.

"Well, sorry," looking at the two girls who were about the same height as him in front of him, Chloe scratched his head, his hair was completely messed up by the crow, and he couldn't figure it out, "I accidentally broke into I have entered your mountain, and I am not a member who came to participate in the trial, so there is no need to assign me a crow."

"Don't worry about this issue. The headquarters will issue an order, and there will be no crows following you after that." One of the black-haired girls replied without changing expression.

"That's it, that's good." Chloe nodded, he was afraid that he would accidentally swallow the crow, after all, now he really needs a mimetic that can fly.But the crow on the top of the head is probably not good. After all, it is a private bird raised by others, and I am afraid that it will lose money if it is eaten.

"Chloe, we are going down the mountain, do you want to come together?" Satoshi who had already selected the materials came over and asked Chloe kindly. After all, a person who can get lost in this mountain, let him It may be difficult to walk down the mountain alone.

Chloe was still competing with the crow, so she nodded and followed after hearing this, only to see him wave his hand vigorously, and the crow, which had been hanging on top of his head, finally flapped its wings and flew higher.

"It seems that Chloe is very popular with your crow." Sato said with a smile when he looked up to see the crow hovering above his head and refused to leave.

"It's not called being popular, it's called being bullied." Chloe angrily pulled at her messy hair, comforting herself with a little annoyance: "It's okay, anyway, it won't follow me in a few days anyway. "

……

Sato and Yiyong come from the same teacher, they are about the same age, and their parents and relatives were killed by evil spirits, so they have a very good relationship.

Although they have a good relationship, their personalities are very different. Sato is kind and enthusiastic. As for Yiyong... Chloe hasn't had much chance to get in touch with him yet, so I can only preliminarily conclude that he is a bit introverted.

On the way down the mountain, after Sato learned that Chloe was also alone without father and mother, he looked at him with more sympathy, and often took special care of him. Chloe guessed that he made up his own brain. Poor homeless children, hungry enough to eat wisteria flowers.

Just like now, the three of them went to a shop together to buy three rice balls. No matter how Chloe refused, Sato insisted on giving him the extra rice ball.

Chloe deduced from their clothes that they should not be particularly rich, and she was too embarrassed to ask them to spend money on food for herself. In addition, he didn't need to eat, which directly showed that they took care of themselves That's fine, don't worry about whether he eats or not.

However, Satoshi seems to be more stubborn than he imagined: "No way! How can a man let a little girl go hungry!"

Although Giyuu next to him didn't speak, he always unconditionally agreed with Sato's point of view. At this moment, he was holding the rice ball in his hand without moving. start.

Chloe was forced to go nowhere by the two of them, so she had to swallow the whole rice ball in one go in front of them, and said helplessly, "Is it okay now?"

It is difficult for ordinary people to swallow a rice ball that is half the size of their own face into their mouths in one go, but Chloe not only did this, but also swallowed it without chewing, and she still blushed afterwards Talking to them without breathing, it seems very magical.

This magic changed in the eyes of Sato, and he looked at Chloe for a while without saying a word, and then handed him another rice ball in his hand: "I didn't expect you to be so hungry, there is still food here. I'll give you a rice ball too, eat slowly and don't worry."

Giyuu next to him nodded seriously, and contributed his rice balls without hesitation.

Seeing the two rice balls approaching her at the same time, Chloe was silent for a while, feeling that he had to prove something.Chloe not only refused their rice balls this time, but also left for a while when they were resting at night.

These were observed by Yoshiyuki. He didn't wake up Sato, who was sleeping deeply due to overwork, but followed Chloe silently. At night, when evil spirits come and go, you must be careful.

Chloe didn't go far, only to see him walking into the courtyard of the temple where he was staying, and standing quietly with his back to him, not knowing what he was doing.

After a while, he turned around, and Giyuu saw a pile of rice balls in his arms.

"..." Yi Yong was stunned.

Chloe, who analyzed and copied a hundred rice balls and planned to return them to Sato, didn't know that since that night, he had the title of "rice ball boy" in Giyuu's heart.

……

If the journey is fast, it will take less than a day to walk from Fujishiyama to Sagiri Mountain, but because it is the rainy season and there is an interval of one night, Sato is afraid that it will be too difficult for Chloe to travel with them, so he goes Deliberately found a temple to stay overnight.

The next day, he was woken up by the sound of dripping rain outside the house. He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before his consciousness gradually became clear. The fantuanshan was taken aback.

"Yo, good morning."

The clear boyish voice suddenly sounded from above his head, Satu subconsciously looked up and found a white-haired boy about his age standing at the door.

He blinked, turned over and got up, and said in disbelief: "Chloe?"

The person in front of him had delicate facial features, fair skin, and waist-length hair. Sato could tell the gender of the person based on his voice just now.

"You...are you a man?" Saito's eyes widened.

"Well, yes." Chloe responded lightly.

Although it feels good to be taken care of along the way, Chloe is a bit distressed. After all, he is also a man of indomitable spirit (in his opinion), and it is really inconvenient to be mistaken for a little girl all the time.

He communicated with the "Great Sage" last night and found that he has obtained all the information on the human body structure, and he can actually change his age at any time.

So he turned himself into a boy of the same age as Satogi Yoshiyuki and the others. Although his appearance was still a little soft and waxy, and his face was still a little baby fat, at least he would not be mistaken for a girl anymore.

The "Great Sage" will help him slowly change his body's growth status according to time, and he will grow up slowly like a normal person, and will not maintain the state of a certain age group for a long time.

Compared with Sato, who was surprised by his sudden growth overnight, Yiyong on the side seemed much calmer. I saw him walking in with a pile of rice balls in his arms, chewing and urging him: "Sakus, hurry up!" It's time to get up, we should hurry, Mr. Rinaki is still waiting for us."

"It's not... Yiyong, look at Chloe..." Sato suddenly paused in a panic, frowning and looking at the rice balls placed beside his couch and in Yiyong's arms: "Where did you get so many rice balls? "

He subconsciously looked at Chloe and asked, for some reason, Chloe saw the doubt in his eyes, "You didn't take volunteers to rob last night, did you?"

"Ah, about this issue, I want to explain to you." Chloe sat down with Yiyong who was expressionlessly chewing rice balls, raised her head and said cheerfully: "Actually, I am a slime. "

"..."

"..."

The two people in front of them were silent for three seconds, and a row of question marks slowly appeared above their heads.
