Otosaka Souji was taken aback for a moment, then quickly responded.
"Yes, I am your Master."
Then Pichu moved closer to Otosaka Souji's face.
"Thank you, Master, for giving me a name."
Pichu has a natural affinity for Souji, who gave him the name.
Seeing Pichu pressed against his neck, Otosaka Souji patted her head and then smiled and said.
"Picchu, from now on you are family."
"Yes, Master."
Just then, a silly roe deer suddenly jumped out of the bushes.
He tilted his head and looked at Otosaka Souji.
Then the silly roe deer jumped back into the bushes.
Then he jumped up from the bushes and looked at Otosaka Souji.
This happened several times, and the silly roe deer found it quite amusing.
But Otosaka Souji thought this silly roe deer was genuinely silly.
Pichu, perched on Souji's shoulder, saw this and asked curiously.
What is it doing?
Pichu probably doesn't quite understand why this silly roe deer keeps jumping around like that.
Otosaka Souji stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then answered.
"It must be making a stupid mistake right now!"
"Why don't you give it a shock?"
Upon hearing its master's command, Pichu eagerly unleashed its skill.
Lightning crackled across Pichu's body before concentrating on its tail.
As its tail grew brighter, Pichu fired a lightning bolt at the silly roe deer.
"Pfft—"
The lightning bolt struck the roe deer directly, numbing it.
It was electrocuted until its whole body stiffened, and then it lay flat on the board.
"Yes, Master, I hit it."
"Yes, my Pichola is the best."
Hearing Pikachu's soft cheers, Otosaka Souji was also very happy and praised her in return.
After all, it's better to wait for praise before giving children a chance.
Ten seconds later, the silly roe deer that had been lying on the ground started to move again.
It rolled over and stood up, then turned and ran away.
It must have been Pichu's lightning strike that made this silly roe deer realize that the two creatures in front of it were not to be trifled with.
"Hey, Master, look! It's run away!"
Hearing Pichu's somewhat anxious voice, Otosaka Souji looked ahead and spoke in a gentle voice.
"It's alright, let it run away, we should go too."
"Ah! Alright then, Master."
Pichu was still somewhat reluctant to let go of the fleeing roe deer, which was her first target, or rather, her first prey.
However, Pichu was willing to listen to its owner, so it didn't insist too much on chasing after the silly roe deer.
Otosaka Souji has started his journey again, the only difference being that he now has a chipmunk pet named Otosaka Pichu by his side.
While walking through the Jura Forest, Otosaka Souji also encountered some goblins.
These goblins are timid. Unlike traditional goblins, they are not ugly; instead, they are somewhat silly and cute.
That's right, the goblins in this world are different from those in other worlds.
Goblins in other worlds are evil, treacherous, ugly, and lustful.
They often capture human females and imprison them in dark, damp dungeons to use as breeding tools.
The goblins in the world of Rimuru are much kinder.
Timid, weak, and adorably clumsy.
Otosaka Souji guessed as he looked at the goblins.
"These must be the goblins that Rimuru encountered at the beginning."
Otosaka Souji really wanted to recruit them as his subordinates before Rimuru did.
However, his magic power was not as vast as that of the King of the Sea, so he could not bestow names upon them all.
Otosaka Souji could only think about it and then give up.
"Let's leave you guys to Rimuru."
Perhaps the best place for these weak goblins is Rimuru.
Shaking his head, Otosaka Souji continued walking out of the Jura Forest.
After walking for a day and a night, Otosaka Souji finally emerged from the Jura Forest.
Are you asking why Otosaka Souji walked out of the Jura Forest instead of using skills to travel?
Of course, it was to greet the little chipmunk on Otosaka Souji's shoulder.
While transforming into lightning allows for rapid travel, it also has a drawback: it makes everything difficult.
You can put your personal belongings in the personal storage space, but you can't put your pets in there; you have to carry them with you.
——————
Not long after leaving the Jura Forest, Otosaka Souji saw a road.
Although he didn't know where the road led, Otosaka Souji still decided to walk along it.
Because if you follow the road, you're bound to meet people and reach a place where there are people.
Souji walked straight ahead along the road, with Pichu on his shoulder accompanying him.
The originally boring road is no longer boring because of Pichu's company.
Throughout the journey, Pichu, like a curious child, kept asking Otosaka Souji all sorts of questions.
A thumping sound came from the road; it was the sound of wheels rolling.
After a day and a night, Otosaka Souji finally saw people again.
Three merchants were seen riding in a carriage, pulling a load of goods along the road.
Otosaka Souji curiously stepped forward and asked.
"Hello, I am a lost traveler. Where are you headed?"
The three of them weren't too wary of Otosaka Souji suddenly approaching them.
Perhaps it was because there were three of them, while Otosaka Souji was just one person and one rat. Having more people gave them an advantage, so they weren't afraid.
Upon hearing Otosaka Souji say that he was lost, one of the three merchants, who was in charge, said enthusiastically.
"Oh, so you're lost. Do you want to come with us? We're heading to Saint Entral, the central city of the armed nation of Dovagon."
Saint Entral of Dovagon?
Upon hearing this name, Otosaka Souji immediately thought of where it was.
That's the legendary dwarf kingdom.
In the original storyline, Dovagon is located on the northernmost mountain range of this world, near the Jura Forest.
It is a neighbor of the Jura Great Forest.
More than 100 million dwarves live there.
Moreover, the country of Dovagon is also very powerful.
Although it may not be the most powerful country in the world, its overall strength is among the top.
Because Dowagon was ruled and founded by a dwarven royal family, the country is not a legitimate human nation.
Therefore, this country is very inclusive and does not prohibit non-humans from entering like traditional human countries.
In the country of Dowagon, not only dwarves live, but also humans and various sub-human races.
Some monsters even live inside.
Because of its inclusiveness, the country's commerce is also very developed.
Monsters, humans, and demi-humans can all trade freely here.
