Author: I LIVE!!!!!!//

Nori:go back to sleep!!!//

Author: so skip your chapter ok ok //

Nori: wait no fine continue anyways how are you guys doing hope you're doing well and with that being said//

Author: let's start this chapter!!!! Also I suggest you go back to chapter 2 incase you forgot and get confused//

N/Nori:" leap undead leap HAHAHAHAHAHA "

- one of the undead would leap as it slashes forward with all 4 of it's weapons towards him -

N/Nori:- blocks holding his arm up as he punches forward hitting the undead sending it back towards the rest-" that was satisfying "

- another undead would hit Nori from behind as it did some damage to the armor or in this case his body-

N/Nori:" ah damit we can't get cocky which sucks "- he turns around punching forward again this time chains came out to wrap around the undead as it was sent back-" sweet "- he spins around crashing the undead into one another as it seems it was the most effective thing-( I gotta find a way outa here because if I keep knocking these guys down they might form that thing and I stand corrected)

- the group of undead he knocked into one another would merge but it wasn't as big as big as the one he was talking about and looked like he could deal with it -

N/Nori:" not as bad but looks like I can't keep hitting them against each other or I can "- he looks up seeing an ledge he can grab on to but he's gonna need a boost then he looks at how many undead there is while also noticing that by themselves they give almost the exact same amount as the balloons-" well that's a load of bull s"

-he gets cut off with a punch to the face by the merged undead-

N/Nori:" oh come on"- he gets up-" can you let me plan jeez "- more chains came out of his arms as he sends them towards more of the undead slamming them into the merged one and it seems the more he did this the bigger the undead got -( ok so it does work now I just gotta push forward a little bit more)- he dashes around wrapping more up with his chains while he gets hit by other undead during the time which causes the cracks to grow -" damn"

- more undead would soon merge together into one giant undead tall enough to climb-

N/Nori:" finally God this is draining "- he rushes towards the towering merged undead -

- The merged undead looks at Nori as it raises its fists up and slams them on the ground-

N/Nori:- moves to the side dodging the attack as he then jumps up on the undeads arm-" going up"- he starts running along up the undeads arm as he sends his chains to wrap around the ribs of the undead pulling himself up high enough to grab on to the ledge getting out of the pit of undead he was in -" hahaha I did it!"

- soon the giants undeads hand would show itself out of the pit aswell since Nori didn't see this all the way through but luckily enough the large undead could only fit its hand-

N/Nori:" ok now it's time to run but first "- he uses his chains to wrap around two of the smaller undead that was on the hand and pulled them out taking them with him as he ran as fast as he could towards the exit which now that he looks at the light it resembled the same one that teleported him in this mess-( at least I know that it won't be a dead-end)- he makes it to the light as it teleported him outside of the large door to the dungeon -" Finally "- he lays down as he reverts to his normal orb like state tired next to the two undead he brought with him-

- a day time skip as nori seems to be in a abandoned building in the village of Nibelheim looking up at the ceiling-

Nori:( it's been a day since I got out and no signs of Naofumi anywhere here in Nibelheim makes sense he's probably back at the capital of Melromarc speaking of which I should head there as soon as possible since I doubt they just wanted to get rid of me )

- his form would change to the humanoid armored one with chains wrapped around its arms-( this form is great but I feel kinda heavy which now I wander)

-soon the armor would disperse into a light purple smoke that swirled around a bit then forming together showing Nori but instead of the armor he had on turned into the large jacket and clothes making him feel much more lighter-

Nori:"ah there we go but something feels wait "- he walks to the door of the abandoned building a opens it heading outside as the rush of smells hit his nose which he instinctively turned off getting rid of his nose and replacing it with a mask -( What the hell was that)- he had a confused yet a tad bit scared expression for moment then shook his head-( I'll figure it out later or I'll ask Naofumi about it )- he walks out to wander around the village asking adventures if they had spare maps-

- a few hours passed as Nori was seen waiting behind a carriage as there was a adventurer in the carriage looking for something-

Adventure:" no not there ah here we are "- he walks out of the carriage tossing a map towards Nori-

Nori:- catches it -" thank you so much ma'am "

Adventure:" no sweat it say what's a scrawny looking person like you heading to the capital without anyone to protect you?"

Nori:" ah well ya see I'm looking for a great friend of mine you see me and him accidentally got separated and well I heard someone say he was at the capital so I'm heading there "- he smiles as it would show under the mask-

Adventure:" ah i see I was separated from my team also and I'm waiting here because this is the place we said we'll meet "

Nori:" Ok well good luck to you uh"

Petra:" it's Petra "- the adventure smiled-" and yours "

Nori:" My name is Nori and as I said good luck to you Petra may we cross paths once again "- he would walk away looking at the map-( alright so it's that way )

Petra:" heh yeah "( though he made it sound like he was leaving the country or something)- she chuckles to herself drinking-

- small time skip As night came and nori was still walking killing the balloons that tried attacking him -

Nori:( jeez do these balloons ever quit)- he popped more balloons as he soon noticed what looks to be a group of adventures heading towards him but something felt off so not taking any chances he gets himself ready-

Adventure 1:" woah no need to be defensive sir were only just passing by and we saw you figured you needed some help "

Nori:" please you grabbing the handel of your weapon like that tells me everything "

Bandit 1:" good eye "- the so called adventure said taking out his weapon and so did the rest of the Bandits-" as a for a reward if you cough up everything you got now we might let you go safely "

Nori:" now why would I do that for a might "( guess it's time to try this skill out)- he jumps back to gain some distance from them-

Bandit 1:" running away now? Get him"

- soon the rest of the group well what looks to be about 5 starts running towards him-

Nori:" I call on the things I've slaughter to aid me and join me on my conquest for victory of this battle now"

- some of the Bandits would stop confused this wasn't a normal spell chant it seemed more ominous-

Nori:" invade and merge "

- a magic symbol would appear and out came a large balloon monster that was too big to be considered normal-

Author: about 70 or so balloons joined together so i say 11foot and no it's not broken I promise I hate when the oc or Mc gets too strong and nothing interesting happens//

- The large balloon growls a bit as it bounces towards the group of bandits -

- The Bandits would be shocked as some just stand there possessing what just happened as one shook their head and ran towards the balloon plunging his dagger forward only for it to basically bounce off the balloon like someone punching a ball since the Bandit didn't put enough force in it to pierce it -

Bandit 1:" what the hell?!"

- the large balloon opened its mouth to bite down on the Bandits arm ripping it off causing the Bandit to scream in pain-

- the other Bandits watched in shock and fear seeing how the balloon didn't pop in one his as usual-

- The large balloon opens it's mouth again finishing the Bandit off with the second chomp-

Bandit 3:" w...what is that thing?!"

Nori:- smirks a bit as his mask disappears he ignored the rush of smells so he can continue on to scare them -" what do you mean it's just a simple balloon that all there is too it hehaha "- he does a creepy fake laugh -( please get scared and run away)

- the remaining Bandits would start to move back a bit-

Bandit 5:" please spare us we'll do anything "

Nori:" anything you say alright then "- he walks forward as he pats the large balloon looking at them-" alright then since you begged I might let you go if all 5 of you cough up every coin you have on your right now and you "- he points at Bandit number 2 -

" give me your spear also never do this ever again because if I come back and I catch any of you trying this stunt again I'll make something worse than this balloon you hear me"- he said in a dark tone-

The Bandits:" yes sir!"- they all said in unison as they threw the their coin bags down and Bandit 2 would drop her spear and ran away before Nori could even think about changing his mind-

Nori:-sighs in relief picking up there bags and the spear -( thank God I took those undead)

- small flash back as nori was looking at the undead and suddenly they turned into this light purple smoke that went inside him-

- flash back end-

Nori:" now" -he looks at the balloon-" sorry for asking so much but can I ride you "- he gets on top of the balloon as the balloon started to bounce towards the direction of the capital full speed ahead-" woah hey wait "- the balloon kept going-( note to self remind me to strap myself next time riding a balloon)

- time skip to where chapter 3 ended-

???:" mind if I help increase your party "- he smiles-

Nori and Naofumi:- looks at the guy as they both started to walk away due to the bad vibe he was giving off-

???:" it's clear you don't know where to start "

- the two stopped walking-

???:" what luck I have exactly what you two need hehe "

Nori:" if you're offering some party members like those chumps or the kings we'll pass "

???:" party members no no what I'm offering is something far better and easier to handle how convenient is that?"

Naofumi:" and what will that be "

???:" interested are we?"

Naofumi:" if you don't hurry up and tell us I might change my mind on listing too you "

???:- the man chuckles a bit-" you have a look I just adore your just like the rumors said you be"

Naofumi:" I see so you know who I am ?"

???:" of course I do brave shield hero sir and you slime who survive the pit of the undead "

Nori:" huh there's rumors about me?"

???:" no that's just a title I gave you though a rumor of you surviving would be a great horror story "- he chuckles again-" but if my offer interests you follow me and we'll discuss it further "- he moves out of the way bowing a bit as he points towards the left -

Naofumi and nori:- would soon follow the man what looks to be a large circus tent -

???:" right this way "- he goes inside as Nori and Naofumi continued to follow-

Naofumi:" so what exactly are you offering us"

Nori:( the smell if this place is weird)

???:" can't you tell by just looking there slaves my boy"- he chuckles as he stops walking-

Naofumi:" no way "

Slave trader:- the man turns towards them-" yes way I run a slave trading business "

Nori:" what makes you think we would want a slave "

Slave trader:" oh I don't know the fact they can't lie or betray there masters "

- there eyes widen a bit-

Slave trader:" we keep our slaves in line by using a curse a strong curse misbehave too much it can take there very lives"- he draws a circle on the ground with his cane-

Naofumi:" alright show us what you got "

Nori:( is he really serious about slaves but then again having one has more positives than negatives)

Slaves trader:" I knew you had exactly what it takes to be a wonderful customer "- he turns around and walks forward as Naofumi followed and nori wandered off -

- the slaves in the cages appeared to be beast like as they were growling and clawing at the cages-

Naofumi:" some of them don't even look human "

Slave trader:" I can assure you there still are technically "

Naofumi:" tell me more I don't know that much about this world "

Slave trader:" well ones that look mostly human but aren't are what we call demi humans there mostly used as servants for manual labor beastmen are demi humans that lean more towards the animal side there mostly body gaurds or participants in death matches "

Naofumi:" I see and they both fall under the same category "

Slave trader:" indeed and since this country practices human supremacy and dimi humans are closer to monsters life can be quite hard for them here as such there treated as slaves "

Naofumi:" I see "- he soon would hear coughing as he walks towards the direction where it was coming from leading I'm to a cell holding a small sick racoon girl-

Slave trader:" sir over here I recommend this for a high class like yourself "

Naofumi:- walks over to the cage as he removes the tarp covering it showing a level ?? beastman-

Slave trader:" it's level 75"

Naofumi:(, that's 7 times my level)" how much you want for it "

Slave trader:" well because how capable and rare this one is how does 15 gold sound "

Naofumi:" showing your most expensive knowing full well I don't have enough "

Slave trader:" indeed your going to be one of my best customers I gotta nose for these things so I gotta make sure you develop a key eye for these things if you catch my drift good sir "- he looks at Naofumi-" Well you've seen my best now what slave are you exactly in the market for "

Naofumi:" one that's cheap and obedient would work "

Slave trader:" in other words a demi human if i understand right "- he starts walking to show Naofumi where all the demi humans are-" there not fit for combat "

Naofumi:- follows-" it doesn't matter if I need them in battle I'll train them "

Slave trader:"hahaha that's a amusing response since you don't believe in people "

Naofumi:" yeah but slaves aren't people training them is like the same thing as upgrading my shield "

Slave trader:" hahaha well you hot ke there that's for sure "

- they'll soon stop infront of a cage-

Slave trader:" these are the cheapest ones I can offer other than the dead ones that is on the left we have "

Naofumi:" raise your head "

Slave trader:" huh"

- meanwhile with nori as he was somewhere else in the tent mostly at the side where the most dead are. Nori looks around a bit shocked and disgusted on how many are just left here to rot -

Nori:" im sorry this shouldn't happen to no one but then again during your final moments it clicked in did it just like me on that day "- he's voice was calm and saddened as he talked to the dead around him knowing fully that he was just talking to himself-

" that this is the world we live in harsh and cruel heh I know I know you're thinking I'm just here to sweet talk you and you guys don't wanna hear it "

- a magic symbol would appear on his hand and on the ground glowing a bit but not too much to make Naofumi and the Slave trader noticed-

Nori:"So alright ill get to the point if you can hear me for those who want to explore the world with me then nows your chance listen to my call and join. Now invade and merge"( I doubt that I can get all of them probably 5 or so I'm sorry for the ones I couldn't take with me that wanted to go I promise when I get stronger I'll come for you)

- soon the body's of 5 demi humans and 1 beastmen would dissappear as out came from the the symbol would be what looks to be a white haired demi human-

Author: imagine her in slave clothes or don't since in one of the time skips in this chapter she'll have the same clothes in the picture//

Nori:- he looks at the white haired demi human before him as he started to breathe heavy-" heh looks like I did it"- he smiles-

The demi human :" Are you the one who promised an adventure "- She looks at him-

Author :look before anyone says it I know I'm just using she because it's easier on me if you don't like it simply change the she to they in your mind while you read it //

Nori:" Yep "( Wait she heard me )

The demi human:- she gets on one knee like a knight facing a king as she says-" I accept your request and thanks for giving us a second chance "

Nori:" No problem now the ticket is how to get you out this is a tent so I can just simply have you slide under it but cages and cells are blocking the way "- he would turn his head looking around-

The demi human:" sir"

Nori:" just call me Nori "

The demi human:" Nori may I ask for you provide me a name "

Nori:" well im not that good with names but how about pitou also can you stand up straight it's kinda making me a tad bit uncomfortable "

Pitou:" my apologies "- she stands up looking around as well-" there's a exit over there "- she points towards the entrance-

Nori:" you know what sure bull I'll have to pay him first "

Naofumi:" yo Nori let's go "- he made his voice loud enough for nori and pitou to hear-

Nori:" coming "- he walks forward heading towards where Naofumi was as pitou follows him not really being fully fazed by the slaves around her -

Naofumi:- he looks towards Noris direction seeing pitou -" who is that?"

Nori:- would whisper to pitou as he grabs her shoulder-" look the next lines I'm about to say I don't mean it so what I'm asking is please play the part and go with the flow "- he looks at Naofumi and the Slave trader who was also confused-" this is a slave I found on top of one of your cages so I pick her how much is she "

Slave trader:" we considering the fact that she a demi human and is in the dead section I say around 30 silvers"

Naofumi:( 20 silvers less than mine)

Nori:- places the bag on the table-" how much would it be if you didn't put a slave crest on her "

Slave trader:" 10 silvers less but the question is how are you going to control them "

Nori:" simple by fear any Slave can escape there masters if they don't pay attention so what ima do is chain her up by using fear "

Pitou:- would have a scared look on her face as she was obviously faking -

Slave trader:" hahaha and I thought some masters are messed up but you take the cake alright "

Naofumi:- would drag the slave girl he bought also known as Raphtalia out of the tent -

Nori:- follows behind with pitou-" also keep the 10 extra so I can use it next time I come "

Slave trader:" will do sir hehehe "

- a time skip happens as the group entered Erhard shop-

Erhard:" welcome "- he looks at Naofumi -" ah it's you again " - he soon noticed pitou and Raphtalia-" well well what's with the girls kid"- he soon noticed Nori-" hmm I don't know why but it feels like I've seen you somewhere before "

Nori:" heh the fact you can remember me as I'm like this is impressive "- he turns back into his slime like state as he landed on Erhards head-

Erhard:" huh wait Nori?"- he picks up Nori to look at him to make sure he wasn't dreaming as he smiles a bit-" looks like I'm not dreaming welcome back kid "

Nori:" thanks it's nice to be back"- he floats up as he lands on Naofumis shoulder-

Erhard:" anyways what brings you guys here "

Nori:- puts another bag of coins that he got from the Bandits down -" we need a weapon for me and Raphtalia 60 silvers is the limit "

- a few minutes pass as Raphtalia came out of the changing room with a different weapon than cannon-

Naofumi:" took you long enough"

Raphtalia:" sorry sir"

Naofumi:" yeah whatever "

Nori:"sorry it took me so long guys "- he comes out of a different changing room carrying two different weapons of his own-

Nori:" who knew trying to put on two weapons at the same time could be such a pain "

Erhard:" your supposed to do it one at a time "

Nori:" oh I see now sorry I'm not used to these things yet"

Naofumi:" now Raphtalia hurry up let me see you draw your knife "

Raphtalia:" huh?"

Naofumi:- shows a balloon that was under his cloak -

Raphtalia:- backs up a but in fear -

Naofumi:- holds up the balloon-" I want you to stab this thing "

Raphtalia:" No "- she said shaking a bit-

Naofumi:" that's an order "

- the slaves crest on Raphtalia started glowing as it shocks her with purple lighting sprouting out of it causing her to fall on the ground because of the pain-

Nori:" hey Raphtalia the only way to stop the pain is to stab it "

Raphtalia:- gets up grabbing her weapon as the pain stops while rushing towards the balloon thrusting the blade forward popping it giving the party exp-

Nori:" good job Raphtalia "- he pats her head-"

Naofumi:" look from here on out you will fight monsters with me an nori we payed for you both so I expect you two to do your part "

Erhard:" you know what kid you're not going die a painless death "

Naofumi:" don't beat around the bush say what you really think come on"- he walks out as Raphtalia follows -

Nori:"ill be with you shortly"- he sighs then chuckles-" you can tell he's faking now"

-Pitou and Erhard looks at nori a tad bit confused-

Nori:" I believe at first he was and that's probably because at the time he thought I was dead now it just sounds like he's keeping the persona as some sort if criminal who just got out of jail hahaha "

Erhard:" well he could've fooled me "

Pitou:" indeed "

Nori:" anyways Erhard I have a favor to ask well two "

Erhard:" ok what is it "

Nori:" I'd like for you to teach me how to smith as well and can we use pices of armor that your not selling so we can test "

Erhard:" well I'll think about the first one comes to me tomorrow I'll probably have my answer then and sure "- he walks to the back grabbing a piece of armor and heads back to give it to nori-

Nori:" thanks now pitou hold this for me"- he hands the armor to pitou-

Pitou:- holds the armor up-

Nori:- spins his staff around a bit as he swings forward causing a dent to the very weak metal-" alright nice "( this weapon feels great)" now it's your turn pitou "- he grabs the piece of armor holding it up for pitou to strike-

Pitou:" alright "- she does a full power punch making a massive dent to the armor and also making Nori slide back close to the wall-" are you ok Nori?"

Nori:" yeah im fine nice punch "( even though she's level five and were not that far apart it's still a tad be scary that she has that much force though I'm not surprised if the higher monsters we face don't be fazed by it which scares me also, now I don't know what's scarier the high level monsters or her potential)

- time skip as the group would be at a tavern getting some food while getting stares from the people in there-

Naofumi:" why is everyone staring at us"

Nori:" probably because of your title or the fact we brought demi humans to a demi human restricted area which I don't give a flying fuck about the rules "

Naofumi:- looks at Raphtalia eating the food-" is it good?"

Raphtalia:- looks at Naofumi nodding-

Naofumi:- would take a bite out of his as his eyes widen a bit -( I can taste it but it disappears to quickly damn but at least I can taste)

Pitou:- looks at nori-" why aren't you eating?"

Nori:" well there's no point ill just be wasting money since I don't need it but I would say that the taste of it is great "

Raphtalia:- drinks water-" well that's not wasting it then "

Nori:" huh?"

Raphtalia:" as long as you enjoy it it shouldn't be a waste right?"

Nori:" heh if you put it like that I guess smart kid "- he pats her head-

- time skip as Naofumi grabs a red balloon-

Naofumi:" Raphtalia!"

Raphtalia:" coming "- she runs towards the balloon stabing it as it pops-

Naofumi:- then switch shields to the earth shield as he sends spikes towards some more monsters-

Nori:- was practicing his aim with a bow as he killed a few monsters himself-

Pitou:- would be dashing around some balloons playing with them a bit the she pops them by using he claws-

Nori:( I guess I can see the beastmen part now I wander the fact she's multiple demi humans in one does that make her the first chimera demi human)

- another time skip happens as the group seemed to be near a lake eating cooked fish-

Naofumi:- looks at the newly gained skill tree for brewing-"huh that gonna come in handy "

Raphtalia:" master sir "

Naofumi:" what?"

Raphtalia:" who are you and what I mean is who are you really "

Naofumi:" ima hero the shield hero "

Nori:" and I'm nori your friendly neighborhood slime "

Raphtalia:" I see and a hero you mean like one of the four cardinal heros?!"

Naofumi:" indeed "

Raphtalia:- she would have a flash back to her parents as she asked-" sir hero what should I call you "

Naofumi:" Naofumi Iwatani "- he seems to be making something-

Raphtalia :" Naofumi Iwatani "- she started to cough-

Naofumi:" here drink this "- he hands her a cup of medicine-" it's a medicine that can cure like colds drink up "

Raphtalia:- drinks it then spits it out-" it's disgusting "

Naofumi:" it's supposed to be that means it's good medicine now drink up"

Raphtalia:" nooooo!"

- night came as nori would be looking around the fire again-

Nori:( Flames are so beautiful)- he then looks around to see pitou sleeping-( weird she still needs sleep even though I thought she was a undead now that

I think about it she was eating that fish like she hasn't eaten in days makes me seem like an ass hole as I assumed she's just an undead sorry pitou

but it begs to question what is this invade and merger skill it works like how the undead dungeon did it but something feels different do I)

- soon he would be interrupted by Raphtalia screaming and crying-

Naofumi:- wakes up as he heads towards Raphtalia to calm her down-" what's wrong? Just calm down alright "

Raphtalia:"  They're dead They're dead mother father there dead"- she hugs Naofumi-

Naofumi:- hugs back-

Nori:( it seems like she had it pretty rough her mother and father probably died because of the waves)- he walks over to Raphtalia to pat her head-" everything is going to be fine alright "

Pitou:- would still be sleeping not that she didn't care it's just because she's a really heavy sleeper-

- time skip to Naofumi and nori being at the medicine shop or the shop with a bunch of herbs-

Shop keeper:" well this is well made say do you have experience in making medicine "

Naofumi:" actually yesterday was my first try "

Shop keeper:" oh really "

Naofumi:" which would be more profitable selling herbs or medicine "

Shop keeper:" well due to the impact of the waves medicine has been flying out of the shelves lately so I'll pay more for your medicine then herbs "

Nori:" I see "

Naofumi:" say do you have any spare tools I can use "

- small time skip as Raphtalia would be sitting on a barrel looking at kids playing with a ball as pitou would be next to her eating a piece of meat Nori gave her as a apology for being inconsiderate-

Naofumi and nori:- walks up to the two-

Nori:" yo Raphtalia, pitou "

Naofumi:- would notice Raphtalia was looking at the ball-" would you like a ball like that "

Raphtalia:" No I would never want a ball like that "- her tail swayed side to side-

Naofumi:" yeah you're not great at lying "

Nori and pitou:- nods in agreement-

- soon Naofumi buys the ball as he gives it to Raphtalia-

Naofumi:" here you can play with it after work "

Raphtalia:- smiles-" of course "

- another time skip as the group would be at a inn-

Naofumi:- repeatedly rings the bell-

The man:" im coming I'm coming "- he heads towards Naofumi as he looks at him-" huh the shield hero?"

Nori:- sighs-" oh my fucken God is that all you people say now and days yo guys go find some rooms I'll handle the rest "

Naofumi:" alright "( he's more fed up with this than me)" come on "- he walks off to find empty rooms as Raphtalia and pitou follows-

The man:" hey wait you can't just "

Nori:- cuts him off by grabbing the man by the shirt as he whispers in his ear-" look if I hear you say shield hero instead of welcome I swear to God ima do you worse than what his stupid rumors say you got that "

The man:" but but"

Nori:" say you wanna hear a mind fuck that slime he threw down or killed is me now think about that if I'm the slime companion he got rid of or try too why would I still be here by his side actually why would he be here actually because I would have killed him by now like how ima do you in a sec"

The man:" I .....that would be 6 silvers you get a discount alright "

Nori:- smiles as he puts the money on the counter-" that much of a discount? Wow sir you're so kind I'll tell everyone I meet how good your costumers service is bye bye now "- he let's go walking to his room smiling-

Author: now ima do a big time skip but I'll say this it's after the deal he made with Raphtalia when she killed the rabbit there in lute only reason why I'm doing this is because a time skip happens before and after that event happened and it's literally gonna be unnecessary//

Naofumi:- was selling rabbit skin-" how much "

Merchant:" I say about 2 silvers give or take "

Nori:" man that much "

Pitou:- would be playing catch with Raphtalia-

Naofumi:" say do you know any spots nearby that you can earn alot of money quick "

Merchant: " now that you mentioned it the ore coming out of the walls could fetch you a decent bit but "

Nori:"ever since the first wave monsters have been crawling around the place "

Merchant: "indeed "

- time skip Naofumi would be putting a piece of rope into his shield as it transformed into he's rope shield-

Naofumi:" I see alright now air strike shield!"- soon green large energy shield would appear infront of him -" huh"

Pitou:" anything wrong Naofumi?"

Naofumi:" it's nothing let's go "

- another time skip as the group made it to the place filled with ore-

Nori:" looks like the place alright let's start "- he grabs a pickaxe as he starts hitting it against the ore and so did Naofumi-

Pitou:- would notice something-" huh foot prints "

Raphtalia:" I see them too "

Nori:- picks up a piece of ore-" this might be easier than I thought "

Naofumi:" agreed Raphtalia let's head down a bit further "- he looks towards her to see pitou getting in a stance and Raphtalia on the ground sacred-

Nori:" hey guys what's wrong wait "( I sense malice)- he looks towards the direction they were looking at seeing a two headed dog monster-

Raphtalia:- screams as the dog monster runs towards her-

Pitou and Nori:- dashes forward as nori swings his staff towards one of its heads and pitou punches the other staggering it -

Naofumi:- turns his shield to the earth shield as he sends spikes towards it-

- the two headed dog roars in pain-

Naofumi:- looks behind at Raphtalia as he saw another monster coming in from behind-" Raphtalia move!"

Raphtalia:- was to scared too as Naofumi made an earth wall and a air strike shield to block the monsters attack-

Nori:- looks towards the other monster-" Pitou you and me we take on that other one alright "- he dashes forward with pitou following close behind-" yo Naofumi we got this one you take care of the two headed one "

Naofumi:" on it"- he switches to his nori shield as he blocks a strike from the monster-

Raphtalia:" it looks just like the one that killed mother and father "

Naofumi:" I see but if you take down this thing here and now and help us get stronger well fend off the waves of catastrophe and makes sure that tragedy never happens again "

Raphtalia:- her eyes widen a bit-

Naofumi:" face it your parents aren't coming back but we can prevent the same thing happening to others "- he stabs the monsters leg as the monster bites down on Naofumi-" Raphtalia you gotta kill it"

Raphtalia:" but I can't "

Naofumi:" alright then run away we'll buy you some time to escape "

Raphtalia:" then that would be just "- she tears up even more-" like my parents "

Naofumi:" hurry up!"

Nori:- strikes the monster he was fighting making it slide back-" run !"

Raphtalia:( no no don't leave me don't go away)- she remembers her parents then the memories with Naofumi and the group-" NOOOO!!"- she dashes forward as she leaps up stabing one of the dog monsters heads-

- the dog monster roars in pain knocking off Raphtalia as it looks at her and was about to attack-

Naofumi:" air strike shield !!"- a large energy shield appears infront of Raphtalia blocking the strike-" Raphtalia now!"- he rushes forward as he jumps up stabing the dog monsters back as Raphtalia quickly stabs the monsters heart killing it -

Nori:- would do a barrage of strikes towards his monster as pitou finishes it off by cutting its head off-

Naofumi:- looks at Raphtalia as he sits down on the ground-" nice job Raphtalia "

Raphtalia:" master Naofumi!"- she runs towards him to hug him-

Naofumi:" ouch even with this shields defense it still hurts "

Raphtalia:" promise me you won't leave me please "- she says crying-

Naofumi:- pats her head-" come on get up "

Raphtalia:" a little longer please "

Nori:- looks at the two hugging-" looks like today was a amazing episode right pitou "- he smiles-

Pitou:" yep though I would have liked to play with that monster a bit more but I couldn't because of the strength difference "

Nori:" I see "( wow just like a cat that plays with their food)- he looks up towards the readers and I hope you all have a amazing day-

Pitou:" who are you talking to?"

Nori:" My self "
