Yesterday's rain turned, and the beautiful blue sky was spreading this morning.
Our footsteps toward the woods are either heartless or light.
"It rained, and mushrooms, are they growing a lot?
"I don't think it's something that grows that easy, but it must be a weather time to grow easier, after all"
Speaking of mushrooms for me, the weather had nothing to do with the artificially grown stuff I buy in the supermarket, but if it became a natural product, the impact would still be huge.
I don't care if you ever ask me on TV news, 'The weather is unusual this year and the price of pine mushrooms -' cause it was completely irrelevant to me as a commoner.
I have had pine mushrooms myself, but my feeling is that they are "delicious, but if I offer that price, I eat meat".
"Speaking of which, I looked it up yesterday and figured it out, it looks like the oak is going to be a lot of money, too, right?
"Really?
"Yes, because demon stones are expensive compared to goblins, and you can sell meat"
Can you sell it, oak meat?
I don't know what it looks like, but if it's the look of my imaginary oak, I don't really want to eat it.
"Oak......" Kurokosan "?"
"Idiot! Don't flag me. What if I'm serious?"
Put a penetration in Toya's head that ran silly things.
If you're gagging, you can say "creep, creep," but if there's a chance of damage in you, it won't be stylish.
"Cockroach? What is it, that?
Exactly. Only some races get by. I'd rather be surprised if Natsuki knew.
It's a high hurdle to elaborate on. My shame. So in a somewhat mild and far-fetched way......
"Uh, I was wondering if there are times when women are attacked by orcs,"
"I don't think there are any women or men to be attacked...... No, of course, physically, women, children would be more dangerous."
That's what I say. Natsuki to the neck.
The meaning is not conveyed correctly, but there is no problem. Let's snort.
That's not what they're talking about. They're sexually assaulted.
"Sexual...... eh?
I thought you were deceiving me! Hulka's cold gaze and Natsuki's astonished gaze hurt.
Yuki is... funny. There's a good chance we figured it out.
"You know, you can't normally think about it. It's a different organism, isn't it? So what kind of supergenes do you have that are reproducible, goblins and orcs?"
"Supergene" … odd to say.
Think of it that way, if it's possible for a human opponent, it seems perfectly ok for monkeys, pigs, and even around them.
"But you know what 'that thing' is, Harka."
"Oh, silly!
I try to stop Toya pointing out the good parts that don't have to be caught, but it's already late.
"Yeah, I saw it in Nao's room."
I knew I hadn't forgotten. Shh!
"Guuuuuuuuuuu! Yes, no! That's Toya."
"Oh, my God! Don't get me involved!
"Though it would be yours in fact! Just try it, I gave you that game!
"It's friendship to keep quiet, even if it's a fact!
"Brrrrr! A lotus student!"
Me too, man, I can't deny I'm a little happy, but I won't forgive Toya for making the trigger!
"Kuroko," I said, because it was Toya who put the scratch in Hulka.
"Yes, yes, you don't fight ugly. Because both belongings are the same. You did it after all, didn't you, both of you?"
"" Ugh. ""
I'll do it! If you have a game at hand that you can't get by regular means at your age!
It fits, aside from not fitting, if there's a guy on hand who doesn't start it, that's not a puberty guy! I assure you.
"In the first place, you can't have 99% of the same genes? That's impossible. Of course, there will be things you can eat in the original sense."
That's tight. Is the end of your life in the belly of an oak?
But surely Hulka is right.
"No, maybe they're just reproduction, aren't they? That's why the goblin doesn't exist..."
"I mean, something? That act is not a reproductive act, I mean - a spawning act like a parasitic bee. At the hatched dawn, eat it from the inside."
"Wow, stop it! You imagined it!!"
Toya blocked my biological considerations and held my head.
I guess you mentioned it.
"Coracola, it's time to stop. Because Natsuki is a donkey. Besides, it doesn't matter in this world."
"Oops, sorry. Forget it. All things together."
Including what I borrowed from Toya.
"Uh, yes, we're both healthy men, and a little special hobby, I think, personality. Acceptable, hey..."
"Wait. Don't show understanding. I can't wait to do the opposite. Fiction, fiction, right? It's a whole different story from real life hobbies, isn't it?
Just because you like a lollie character in erotic cartoons, for example, is completely different from a real life lollicon, and even if you like a sister character or a sister character, a real sister or sister is usually a no-thankful person, no, it would rather be the majority.
"Yes, yes. What a confusion with reality."
Toya snorted to agree with me, but suddenly stopped talking and thought about it.
"What's up?
"No, if you think about it, I'll take the beast-eared daughter-in-law..."
"Don't say it here now! Sure, but you might be willing to make fiction a reality! Because that's a completely different story!
Seriously, it hurts him if he says "get a beast-eared daughter-in-law" or something in Japan, but it's very normal in this world. Toya is also a beast ear now.
It is strange in itself to compare.
"Natsuki, don't worry. Because what Nao has, the vast majority of it, is normal."
"Really?
"Yep. I don't think there's anything special about it that's gonna end your life."
What am I supposed to say to Hulka, who nods confidently?
"... should I say I'm glad you understand this place?
"As for me, I'd like to tell you to hide it better."
Funny. I was pursued when I borrowed it from Toya, but I can hardly remember anything else.
Actually, I just kept my mouth shut when I found it...?
"By the way, can I ask you what kind of hobby?
"Well, Nao is sure..."
"Come on! Let's keep our heads together! Whatever you say, it's my first place to go! Hey, Toya."
"Ooh, right! Don't be alarmed!
It's bad to keep talking about this any longer.
Once again realizing such a natural thing, I will slap Toya on the back and head to the woods early enough.
In my ear, I never hear what three people are talking about back there.
Oh, not at all! Everything I hear about maids and sailor clothes is an illusion. Must be.
◇ ◇ ◇
"This... you're growing faster than I thought, huh?
"Oh. Is this what mushrooms are like?
Before we went to the new area, we visited the place we collected yesterday and were a little confused to see the magic mushrooms growing there.
As of yesterday, mushrooms that were not yet eligible for collection are now more than 5 cm across the house. In large objects it is approaching the size of 7 cm.
In other words, it will have grown by more than 2 cm in just 2 days.
"I've never grown mushrooms either, so I don't know, but I've heard people say that good environments make them bigger all at once"
"Oh, I do. Mushroom growing. That said, it's a home growing kit that can be made in the house. At that time, it was slow at first, but when I started growing up, I grew up all at once."
"So this is what mushrooms are for?
It's not weird, is it? But if I picked the one that's growing now, I don't think it's gonna grow for the time being. "
Naturally, just because it grows fast doesn't seem like a dong-growing thing.
After a few weeks if the environment is right, we basically have to wait until the following year.
Besides, in the case of magic mushrooms, they grow into a tree a year or two after falling, so they don't necessarily grow into this tree again next year.
"But at this rate of growth, if we keep it for about three more days, the price will be nearly ten times higher at once, right?
"More than 10 cm...... computationally so, but going that well?
"There's going to be some pitfalls, isn't there? If it was that easy, it wouldn't be expensive."
"Are you going to be eaten or are you going to grow slower...... either?
If you can easily achieve more than 10 cm, that price is unlikely.
"What do we do? Do you want to pick it? Do you want me to leave it?
"It's hard, isn't it? Leave it for a few days and multiply it by 10, or is it gone and zero? Maybe a zero would be better for the odds."
"Well then, by majority vote. Who I think we should collect now!
Hands up, me and Halka, and Natsuki.
"Have you split into solid types and gamblers"
"It's not so much a gambler, is it? For once, there's a reason, right?
"Hmm?"
"Look, you shot Vipe Bear yesterday, didn't you? If this is his territory, isn't there anyone who's coming to eat it?
"Sure, if it's just Vipe Bear who eats it... there could be other animals, plus peers, right?
Two parties in Rookie, I don't know how many others are out there, but I can't say it's unlikely. We've never met in this neighborhood before.
"What about Yuki?
"I'm especially... I was just wondering if I'd stay a little bit if I was eaten."
"If a bear that size eats, I think it's rooted. Even if you have the wisdom to leave small things behind, you'll eat them before they exceed 10 centimeters."
If Vape Bear grows and eats big, he'll be able to pick more.
"We voted for a majority once, and we'll all harvest and move here."
"Yes."
That's how the second place I picked and moved over 5cm of magic mushrooms.
There was a slightly unexpected sight spread out there.
"Destroyed."
Not only is it more than 5 centimeters long, but it has disappeared beautifully to anything less.
"This is what animals do, isn't it? There's a trace of it being taken."
Looking at what Natsuki pointed at, it's clearly not what we collected.
The part of the axis is torn halfway, the stone poke remains, and there are many scratches on the tree.
"I don't know if this was the work of Vipe Bear, but it sounds like you were right to pick it up earlier. That's natural. It's a tough fight."
"Well, let's hurry up and move to the third location."
"Right."
And the third place I moved slightly early. This one stayed fine, so take it.
As in the first place, if more than 5 cm is collected, the remainder is very small, so it is subtle whether it is worth coming back to collect it.
"I picked it quite a bit, but it's about 20 gold coins. Let's do our best to find something new"
"Right."
"I'll take the lead and Nao will focus on the enemy behind it. Travel priority, medicinal herb collection is in order, okay?
"Ooh."
Everyone agreed with Toya's policy and we started walking in a wider area of exploration.
