"Happy meal, Darling~"

Reina then looked at Alice weirdly and with a raised eyebrow she said

"Darling?"

Realization dawned upon Alice as she muttered in a not-so-low voice.

"Oops, I messed up."

Reina laughed at Alice's mistake and continued teasing her.

"Haha~ Darling~ Haha."

"Fufu."

Alice's face turned red but she didn't say anything. Reina felt a little guilty for teasing Alice so much.

"I'm sorry for teasing you."

"Darling, fufu haha."

But she continued laughing.

Alfred on the other hand also looked at Alice weirdly.

"What do you mean by meal?"

He couldn't understand the meaning behind her words.

'Don't tell me Shin is going to eat those things?' Alfred thought as he gulped down his saliva. Sweat trickled down his forehead with the thought of such a possibility.

Alice who was red in embarrassment turned to Alfred.

"You'll understand soon." She said trying to change the topic and their attention toward Shin. She was too embarrassed.

'Ohh, how could I make such an embarrassing mistake?' She thought inwardly.

Reina and Alfred turned their focus on Shin. But Reina didn't stop giggling.

Alice just tried to not say anything and hoped Reina wouldn't make fun of her anymore.

Shin on the other hand held his blade and checked his opponent.

There were 4 Velnora dogs, 3 Gnolls, and 8 Corpse eaters.

'That will not be a problem.'

Then he heard Alice's voice.

'Happy meal huh.'

He smiled at Alice's words.

'I just hope she doesn't mean it literally. Well, I'm only eating away at their stats and skills.'

'Hmm?'

'Did she say darling?'

'No, maybe I misheard her.'

Shin shook his head to remove weird thoughts.

With his long sword in his hand and a confident smile on his face. Shin dashed at those monsters.

'Velnora Dogs are fast and also have Extreme speed skills. So they might get annoying. I better deal with them first.'

Shin thought and ran towards Velnora dogs. Seeing Shin running toward them. Those dogs also speed up and tried to finish Shin by surrounding him.

With their speed, it would have been possible to kill others. But Shin with his agility of 90 which far surpassed theirs even with Extreme speed was much faster.

Shin dodged them with his increased reflexes as they opened their fangs to bite him.

Shin swung his long sword with brute strength and sliced the first Velnora dog-like butter.

Same thing he did with the others. With a horizontal slash, he cut the legs of the beast who jumped at him. Then finished with a thrust in the head.

The other two dogs looked at Shin cautiously. Their speed was nothing in front of this human.

But Shin didn't let them have a chance to do much.

He quickly dashed at them and finished them off with a few slashes.

"This long sword is good. Using a weapon to fight is good after all." Shin said as he thought of his fights with an iron rod. 'Ughh, it was tough.'

By that time the other monsters also approached Shin.

This time he was surrounded from all sides. There was no escape for him.

Alfred was a little worried. Will his son be fine? He turned to look at Alice. Her face didn't have a hint of worry.

Alice knew there was nothing to worry about. After all, it was her darling. Her confidence in Shin wasn't unfounded. After all, they had already fought with more than 50 monsters.

Alice just gave an assuring look to Alfred and continued observing Shin.

Alfred turned to look at Shin and he was surprised. There wasn't a hint of fear on his face instead he was smiling.

Shin smiled at the monsters and said

"Extreme speed."

His speed increased as his figure blurred for a second. Alfred and Reina were able to see it very clearly.

Shin appeared in front of a confused gnoll. As soon as it saw Shin in front of him. It let out a growl to alert others. But the horizontal swing was enough to slice off its head.

The other monsters jumped to attack Shin. He just leaped in the air while swinging his long sword and cutting those monsters. Shin threw his knives which he brought with him at the corpse eaters.

His aim was off but it did some damage. He sighed and jumped, chopped the monster in front of him, and finished the others too.

The fight only lasted a few minutes and Shin finished those monsters without getting a scratch.
