Chapter 9: Do you have a card?

"That was incredible!" Choko exclaimed when she hugged her again.

A sweet feminine smell hit her nose one more time. Nero had no reaction for a few moments, she didn't expect to be hugged so suddenly. 

Feeling Choko's grip loosen, Nero moved away quickly.

Nero's action didn't go unnoticed by them. Choko thought she was just shy, but it was actually for another reason that Nero withdrew. Nero remembered that now "he" was "she".

Jana asked, "Do you have a card?" She pointed to her own card by asking that question.

Nero looked at her, then shook her head in denial.

"How come she doesn't?" They wondered surprised.

Nero who saw that they could also loot the monsters approached and did the same. Of course, when she did that, it only took 1 second. Unlike them, they'd need at least a minute.

'Yes,' Nero affirmed in her mind.

The pink slime turned into green mist when it came into contact with Nero's hand. Then it was absorbed into her body.

"Oh, my goodness!" Jana's eyes widened to see her do it. 

Jana was bewildered as she said, "She doesn't have a hunter's card, but she can still plunder the monsters at that speed..."

"Besides," Breno added, "where do the essence coins and items go?" 

They looked in Nero's direction in search of answers but remembered that she couldn't understand their language. In their hearts, Nero was becoming more and more enigmatic.

Nero, who felt their stares, looked at them strangely. She knew she was faster than they were at looting, but did they need to have such a big reaction?

Although they wanted to know how she was able to do that, they knew that she did not understand their language. There are also things she may not be willing to explain to them.

Walking, they found a group of pink and green slimes.

"Let's," said Jana.

Just as the word "Let's" echoed, Choko's body, like an arrow thrown by a bow, flew and appeared in front of a green slime. 

Choko's fist, that wore the red glove, landed on green slime's body. A dust curtain erupted from her fist slamming into the ground.

"So impatient," Breno said, holding his spear and also ran towards them.

"We're going too." Jair added and he ran even faster than Breno. Jair got in front of a Slime cutting it in half.

Choko, who saw a green slime spit a green goo in her direction. Choko suddenly dodged the ball of goo as she kicked perpendicular in the direction of the attacking green slime.

Then she stepped hard on the ground and advanced toward the green slime and punched it. She used so much force that it flew and collided with a nearby tree.

Nero was surprised because she could see that Choko's boots were not simple either, they looked like the boots of silvery gentlemen. Possibly made of some metal. 

Jana sighed and immediately she skillfully conjured two arrows of fire. 

"Go!" She said as she threw both fire arrows at the 2 slimes..

Her aim when launching those fire arrows could not be underestimated. With the attack from her, the 2 slimes were instantly killed. 

Nero was a little confident in throwing rocks, but she didn't want to risk an attack, as he could very well hit Breno, Jair, and Choko. 

Unfortunately, she only knew how to fight by throwing stones. It wasn't like she couldn't attack. Whenever Nero saw an opportunity, she threw rocks in the direction of the Slime that was furthest from them.

Nero couldn't help sighing in wonder as she watched them fight. It may even be said as normal or simply the way they are fighting for people of this world, but for Nero, it was all new. 

For Nero, who came from a very different place where magic was known only in movies and stories, for her, this was even more exciting than walking on a roller coaster.

In a short time, more than 10 slimes had been defeated. They were just plundering, but they weren't absorbing the monsters' nuclei. Nero didn't risk doing that in front of them.

Each of them plundered those they had killed. Nero also managed to kill 2 slimes by throwing stones. So she approached them and put her hand on one of them.

In front of such a vision, they were still surprised. Though they were already waiting for it to happen.

Nero approached the other Slime and put her hand on it too.

Nero was truly happy to join their group, since she didn't have to be as alert as she used to be.

Of course, she wouldn't trust them 100%, after all, they barely knew each other. They didn't seem to want her harm, so she might be able to give them a vote of confidence.
