Dragged Into Another World Because of My Otaku Friend

We continued through the forest, mowing down every goblin and slime we encountered. It seemed like this place was exclusively populated by those two monsters. Not exactly exciting, but great for grinding levels and testing out our skills.

After nearly fainting from MP deficiency earlier, I decided to lay off the advanced spell magic for a while. Instead, I focused on practicing my shooting with the gunblade. Let’s just say... it was rough. I accidentally shot Bob in the butt. The man howled like a wild boar, spinning around with eyes full of vengeance.

"MY PANTS!" he roared.

Luckily, Mina-chan healed the damage,well, the physical one at least.The hole in his pants? Huge. At least it gave him extra ventilation.

Despite the rocky start, I eventually got the hang of it. About half of my shots started hitting their mark, even if they were only arms, legs, or goblin bellies. Still, progress is progress. If I wanted to stay relevant in the future, I had to polish my shooting.

After several more skirmishes, including a few tougher elite goblin packs, we struck gold. We got two Rare-rarity [Summon Elite Goblin] cards! Meanwhile, the slimes dropped single-use Uncommon-rarity [Mana Potion] that were way better than the overpriced one back in town.

Today was a good day, except maybe for Bob’s pants.

Gulp gulp gulp.

Both of us downed our water like. After four straight hours of monster-slaying, we were dead tired. We sat down on the forest floor on the mat. If people saw this, they must mistaken us for having picnic instead of monster hunting.

Bob munched loudly on a sandwich like he hadn’t eaten in weeks, while I gnawed on a piece of flavored bread that tasted like strawberry. Talking about strawberry, suddenly I remembered the ’date’ with Maya. Will she get angry if I refused?

While chewing, we both opened our status screens. Our Bond Level had only gone up by a quarter bar, and we’d earned 850BP, bringing up a grand total of 1850 BP. Either this system was stingy or goblins and slimes were just that worthless.
