Chapter 60 - 60: Who Is This Boy?

nThe arrows were pulled to the limit by Nero, and the dark arrows that covered the sky for a few seconds fell like rain towards the mercenaries and horses. There were a total of 23 mercenaries and 23 horses. Only three, counting the mercenary leader who was the first to die, were at level 5. The other mercenaries were all level 4.
nIf this group of mercenaries had attacked any other ordinary person, taking into account their high level for a place like this, they would have succeeded, but they had to mess with Nero...
n
"Nero is really incredible. You killed so many mercenaries and horses in a matter of seconds,
" Choko said, totally amazed.
n
"It's not a big deal. They were too weak,
" Nero said modestly. She jumped down from Big Blue's back and pretended to put the bodies of the deceased mercenaries and horses on the Hunter Card. After doing so, she kicked off the floor and jumped back onto Big Blue's back.
n
"Onwards!
" Nero said with a happy smile. She wondered if she were to offer these mercenaries as fertilizer for her lovely Slime, would it be possible for Slime to level up or even improve her humanoid form.
nThe humans around who saw all this happen did not dare approach for fear. They just stayed at a distance while whispering quietly about Nero and Choko, especially Nero, who had killed all 23 mercenaries in the blink of an eye.
n
"Oh my God, the entire group of mercenaries has been destroyed!...
" It was the voice of a middle-aged man who came on the scene as soon as he confirmed that grisly scene.
nSomeone in a wagon came out and asked,
"Obliterated? Have they been destroyed!? How can that be?! Were they not at levels 4 and 5?
"
n
"They died, all of them, in an instant! Because of that white-haired girl...
"
n
"Unbelievable...
" The girl who got out of the cart looked towards Nero, completely fascinated.
nFor the next few hours, Nero and Choko were not disturbed, either by monsters or by thieves and mercenaries. When the sky darkened, Nero and Choko set up the tent. Luna brought them two level 3 pigs. Nero roasted the pigs and she and Choko ate a good portion of 1 and the other was shared between Luna and Big Blue as well as some of the leftovers of Nero and Choko's.
n
"It's late, let's go to sleep.
" Before entering the tent, Nero told Luna and Big Blue that they could take turns to get some sleep since they had been awake for a long time.

nWhen the next morning came, Choko woke up and glanced at her side, looking for Nero, but then she saw something that left her amazed; then she screamed out loud.
n
"Kyaah! Who are you!?
" She crawled backward on the bed several times until she leaned against the tent wall.
nAwakened by Choko's scream, the boy with pink hair and beautiful pink wings looked at Choko a little stunned and disoriented by sleep and said,
"Why are you shouting Choko? Are we being attacked? If so, why is Luna silent?
"
n
"Nero?
" Choko believed she was going crazy or was still dreaming. The only person she could think of who would know these things was Nero... She spotted a frying pan that was used last night, and hit her own head *Beng!* The metallic sound from the frying pan hitting her head echoed and Choko was a little dizzy.
n
"Choko! What's going on?... why did you do that?
" Nero asked as he approached, worried.
nSeeing little stars, Choko's vision was a bit blurred, but then, she saw that Nero had returned to normal, or she woke up to reality, however, there was something strange. Nero's clothes had almost been completely pulled from her body. Her breasts were also showing without her noticing.
nNoticing the direction Choko was looking at, Nero looked too and was surprised to be partially undressed. She looked at Choko oddly, believing that she had done this to her and because of that she hit herself with a skillet for feeling guilty.
nNero quickly adjusted her clothes.
n
"Choko, there was no need to hurt yourself. I know that you are at an age that may be curious and wanted to try new things... if you had talked to me, maybe I...
" Nero was interrupted.
n
"That's wrong! It has to be some sort of joke, right Nero?...
" Now Choko started to doubt whether Nero was really mistaken and if she had accosted Nero while she was sleeping and because of that she felt guilty and saw an illusion of Nero as a child, being a boy with pink hair and wings?
n
"Ahhhh!
" Choko held her head, almost going crazy. She couldn't understand what was going on. Was she really going crazy and becoming a pervert, trying to take Nero's clothes off while she was sleeping?
n
"Calm down, Choko. Let's talk first.
" Nero grabbed her by the shoulders and said,
"Regardless of what happened, I'm not going to be mad, so calm down.
"
n
"Yes...
" Choko took a deep breath and blushed when held by Nero. She was very upset, and now because she was simply being held by her shoulders by Nero, she blushed with embarrassment.
n
"Tell me from the beginning, what happened?
" Nero was quite patient.
n
"Okay, I'll talk.
" Choko took a deep breath and said,
"When I woke up, next to me was a 10-11 year old boy with pink hair and pink wings, and when I screamed, he spoke as if he were you. I know this is in my head, but it all seemed so real! It was then that I lost control a little and hit the frying pan on my head.
" She did a simulation, leaning the frying pan on her head.
n
"If this is true, I hope to find out soon, since I didn't notice it, maybe because I had just woken up...
" Nero did not deny that possibility. She knew that she had gone through many experiments and did not know exactly what they did with her. She didn't even know what kind of hybrid she was.
n
"If it happened in my imagination...
" Choko was very embarrassed. She did not expect that she would be able to do something like this while sleeping. She now began to think that it would be a good idea to sleep in a tent separate from Nero.
n
"Okay, don't think about it too much. Like I said, if you really did it, since it was you, I don't mind seeing myself naked,
" Nero said smiling, trying to calm Choko and make her feel less guilty.
nChoko was not relieved to hear this. She felt even more guilty and said,
"Nero ... I... I think it was me who did this... I have been acting strange. I even dreamed.... that I was kissing you.
