They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

"Why, why are you still alive? If you were gone, Kaori could look at me one more time!"

Looking at Nagumo Hajime, who was as tenacious as a cockroach and refused to fall, Daisuke Hiyama said angrily.

"Even without me, Shirasaki-san would never like you!"

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Nan Yun Shi retorted defiantly.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Seeing this, Daisuke Hiyama subconsciously took a step back.

But soon, realizing what was happening, Daisuke Hiyama's face was filled with shame and anger.

He was actually scared off by Hajime Nagumo?!

It's such a shame.

Nagumo Hajime's words were like a nail, driven deep into his chest.

This drove Daisuke Hiyama completely mad.

"Fuck, die, die, die, die!"

He threw punches with all his might, raining blows upon Nan Yun Shi.

Nagumo Hajime remained silent, crossing his arms to block all of Hiyama Daisuke's attacks.

The fear of death, jealousy of Hajime Nagumo, and resentment that Kaori Shirasaki didn't choose him—all these emotions converged together.

Daisuke Hiyama channeled all his strength into a punch, which landed squarely on Hajime Nagumo's arm.

With a loud thud, Nan Yun Shi was sent flying a meter away before crashing heavily to the ground.

Nagumo Hajime lay on the ground, panting heavily.

The pain in his body made him lose consciousness.

The green blood of the monster mingled with the red blood of Nagumo Hajime, leaving mottled stains on his clothes.

Ultimately, it was because his physical condition was too weak.

Even with the increased physical strength achieved through leveling up, there is still a significant gap between him and Daisuke Hiyama, who has the class of light warrior.

Not to mention that the other party was a petty thug before.

How could a shut-in like Hajime Nagumo possibly compete with that?

But... so what!

Today, Nan Yunshi is determined to win!

With his hands braced against the ground, enduring the almost tearing pain in his hands, Nagumo Hajime forced himself to stand up.

Although he was still a little unsteady, he did indeed stand up.

He spat out the blood in his mouth, wiped the blood from his nose, and glared fiercely at Daisuke Hiyama, his eyes full of stubbornness and defiance.

He, Nan Yunshi, had never been so assertive before.

It was as if a second personality had been activated.

The pain in his body didn't frighten him; instead, it made him want to repay that pain tenfold.

"Why are you still able to stand up?"

Daisuke Hiyama was stunned to see Hajime Nagumo stand up again.

He was running out of strength; every part of his body was conveying fatigue and pain.

Now, if he dares to lie down, he won't be able to get up anytime soon.

He couldn't understand why Nagumo, who was so weak, had been able to hold on until now!

I love you, Mom!

Nagumo Hajime didn't say much about Daisuke Hiyama's shock, but simply roared.

His body suddenly lunged forward.

Before Daisuke Hiyama could react, she grabbed his waist with both hands and, with great momentum, slammed him to the ground.

Almost instantly, the pain in his back caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, making him even more listless.

Meanwhile, Hajime Nagumo seized the opportunity to rise up and sing his praises, riding on Daisuke Hiyama's back and giving him a good pat on the face.

I love you, Mom!

I love you, Mom!

"..."

While fighting, Hajime Nagumo continued to output damage, constantly showing care for Daisuke Hiyama's mother, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had accumulated over the years.

Faced with Hajime Nagumo's barrage of punches, Daisuke Hiyama had no strength left to resist.

His previous almost frenzied attack on Nagumo Hajime had exhausted his remaining strength.

So much so that now, facing Nagumo Hajime riding on his back, he could only cover his head.

In an instant, the roles of offense and defense shifted.

After an unknown period of time

Nan Yun stopped.

At this moment, Daisuke Hiyama had already fainted.

Nagumo Hajime's fist was also a bloody mess, with the white bone still faintly visible underneath.

Seeing that Daisuke Hiyama had already fainted, Hajime Nagumo spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm right in his face.

The thrill of avenging his great enemy made him feel as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant. Just as his body relaxed, Nan Yun felt a wave of dizziness.

At the crucial moment, a cool sensation suddenly came from my forehead.

Then came a stream of turquoise water, flowing continuously down his cheeks and onto his body.

It was Rimuru who made the move.

After seeing Nagumo Hajime's half-dead state, he directly threw a healing potion of Hippocrates at Nagumo Hajime's head.

The effect was surprisingly good; Nagumo Hajime's injuries were visibly healed.

In the blink of an eye, the wound healed, and his somewhat listless spirit was also restored.

The entire process took only ten seconds, which is enough to show the terrifying medicinal effects of Hippocrates.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Rimuru."

Once recovered from his injuries, Nagumo looked at Rimuru with an apologetic expression.

Rimuru waved his hand: "We're all group members, there's no need to be so formal."

After saying that, he glanced at Nagumo Hajime with a slightly ambiguous look: "If there's nothing else, get up. How long do you plan to stay in this position?"

Hajime Nagumo was taken aback. He looked down and realized that he was sitting right next to a certain part of Daisuke Hiyama's body.

Nan Yunshi, cursing his bad luck, quickly got up.

“Mr. Rimuru, please let me explain.”

“A man’s blush speaks louder than any sweet words. You don’t need to explain to me, I’m very open-minded.” Rimuru patted Nagumo Hajime on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Nan Yun Shi: "..."

Without delving further into the topic, Rimuru asked instead, "Do you feel better after venting?"

"Ah."

Nan Yun nodded.

He vented all the pent-up frustrations he had accumulated over the years on Daisuke Hiyama, and an unprecedented sense of relief filled his entire body.

He's doing incredibly well right now.

“In that case…” Rimuru’s gaze fell on Daisuke Hiyama, and he reached out his delicate little hand.

A crisp voice rang out: "Predator."

The next second, Daisuke Hiyama's body was enveloped and devoured by countless slimes.

This time, instead of storing, they were directly digested and killed.

Just a moment

The chat group notification has arrived.

[You have defeated Summoner Daisuke Hiyama. Congratulations! You have earned 1000 points.]

"Only a thousand? It seems he can only be considered a minor villain." Rimuru said with some disappointment.

He had thought that the person summoned from this other world would be of more value.

I didn't expect it to be only a mere thousand; that's too little.

"Mr. Rimuru, did you eat it?"

Seeing Rimuru's disappointed look, Nagumo asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Rimuru's lips curled into a smile.

"Oh, right, Nanyun, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a real monster."

After saying that, Rimuru slowly removed his mask, revealing his horribly horrific face.

Along with it, the terrifying magical energy that had been suppressed by the mask was also released.

Next second

Nagumo Hajime was completely dumbfounded.

Feeling the overwhelming magical pressure from Rimuru, Hajime Nagumo felt as if he had been locked onto by some monstrous beast, and then, to his utter dismay, he knelt down.

Seeing Hajime Nagumo kneel down without warning, Rimuru also stopped joking.

After putting the mask back on, he helped the other person up.

"Okay, I was just kidding. Look how scared you are."

It wasn't until Rimuru helped him up that Nagumo Hajime came to his senses. He patted his chest and said with lingering fear, "I almost thought I was going to die."

"Hey."

Nan Yun Shi: "..."

“Alright, now that your problem is solved, I'll take you back,” Rimuru said.

“Um, Mr. Rimuru.”

"Anything else?"

Can I ask you something?

"Ah, you say."

"Mr. Rimuru, how did you become so strong?"

Having witnessed Rimuru's power firsthand and deeply understanding that this is a world where strength speaks for itself, Hajime Nagumo is extremely eager to become stronger.

"Me? I eat monsters."

Rimuru replied without hesitation.

"Eat monsters?" Nan Yun was stunned.

Seeing Hajime Nagumo's confusion, Rimuru explained, "I have a skill called Predator, which can break down the monsters I devour and obtain their power from them."

"What a convenient skill," Nagumo Hajime said enviously.

Immediately, a flash of inspiration struck Nan Yun Shi as he glanced at the demon corpses scattered all around him.

He tentatively asked, "Mr. Rimuru, do you think I'm suitable for leveling up by devouring monsters?"

Rimuru was taken aback: "You want to eat monster meat?"

“Look, there are a lot of transmigration novels that say monster meat can nourish the body and enhance functions, so I want to try it too,” Nan Yun Shi said.

"Hmm... I'm not sure either, we'll have to try it to find out," Rimuru said.
