Nina, continue gathering mushrooms in the woods with Stella.
Thanks to a lot of tutorials from both of us, we were able to collect a lot of mushrooms: karatake, akatake, kurotake, mukitake, and shiitake.
I was also taught the types and characteristics of mushrooms that could not be eaten any more.
Too many mushrooms to be taught anymore.
I purely miss the virtue of remembering when I was a child.
"Crete! Over here! Over here!"
Yes, sir.
Nina called me when I was collecting shiitake.
I thought it would teach me how to eat mushrooms again, but I was trying to sneak in something and it was different.
As she tilted her neck, Nina scratched through the bushes and showed her the cave.
It is just as big as whether or not one child can fit in.
Oh!
When I responded, Nina laughed nervously.
Even though I'm a good-aged adult, I also have a boy's heart.
Finding a secret base like this is strangely exciting.
Nina bent over and went into the cave.
Inevitably, Nina's clean buttocks are reflected in my sight.
I'm fine because I'm not wearing a skirt, but it's not a good sight for a man to see. Nina was only young, and she still seemed insensitive to such things.
"Come with me, Crete."
Waiting away, Nina was in the back at some point.
Hmm, can I get in there because of the size of my body? I tried to reduce my body as much as I could.
"It hurts."
However, I hit my head about three meters away.
"I'm sorry, I can't go any further with my body."
…………
Nina stares at me as she puts her feet to rest.
Then I reached out and saw what I was trying to do.
"Wait, wait, wait! It's really impossible to pull!"
When I stopped her beforehand, Nina stopped stretching her hand.
Close. We were close to being pulled. My body is not as small and flexible as Nina's, so there's nothing I can't do when I'm pulled.
"Well, that's right." I wanted to show Creto the inside too. "
Nina muttered with a smile.
Maybe she wanted to show me the secret base she found.
But I'm not as tall as Andre, but I'm in a big category.
It's physically impossible to go any further into the cave.
What's going on up ahead?
There's a little bit of room.
Nina points back and tells me.
When I put my gaze in the back, I could certainly see a little space.
Ah, if you use magic, you might be able to put it in.
I couldn't put my body in directly, but if I transferred it using spatial magic, I would be able to enter.
Huh? Really!?
"Oh, can you come in first and pull over?"
Yeah!
When I say that, Nina nods happily and goes deeper.
"Metastasis"
Having visualized the vast empty space, I activated the spatial magic.
When I transferred in a bent position, I could come to the same space as Nina.
"Wow! Wow! Crete is in there too!"
It's a transfer, though.
It was the first time I had had to transfer to such a small place, so I felt a little excited.
If I fail, I'll bury it inside the wall... it won't matter, will it?
It's a small cave, but it's bigger inside than I thought.
Isn't that right? I was surprised when I first found it!
My height doesn't allow me to stand up completely, but I can walk around with my head down a bit. It's big enough for me to sit down, and I can walk around freely if I'm about Nina's height.
It's kind of like a secret base, so don't get excited.
Secret base?
Inadvertently leaking her thoughts, Nina tilted her neck.
Apparently, in this world, there's no such thing as a secret base for children.
It's a secret playground that only Nina and I know about.
“A secret playground just for me and Crete! Nice, secret base!"
After explaining, Nina seemed to like it very much and her eyes sparkled.
Even if the world is different, the secret base seems to grab the children's hearts.
Nina? Mr. Crete? Where are you?
While we were discussing, I heard Stella's voice outside.
Stella-san is looking for you, so it's time to go back.
Yeah, that's right.
As expected, being invisible makes Stella uneasy.
I'll use the transfer to get out of the covert base with Nina.
Nina put the shrub back together and blocked the entrance.
"What are you doing?"
"Hide! This is our secret base!"
While saying that, she smiled desperately trying to hide the cave.
Looks like they're doing something like a secret base right away.
Ah, you were both here.
When he sees us, he looks like Stella is relieved.
"What were you doing here?"
"Huh? Uh, uh..."
Asked by Stella, Nina's gaze swam openly.
Oh, this feeling, Nina, she's not very good at lying.
She is a very pure and honest girl, so I was wondering if that was the case somehow.
"I'm sorry, I'm obsessed with picking Nina and the mushrooms."
"I think Mr. Creto will be fine, but don't be obsessed with all the mushrooms." There are dangerous places in the forest, and even monsters can appear. ”
Yes, I'll be careful after that.
Stella seemed to be convinced when she said that she was showing the shiitake instead of Nina.
I felt a little uncomfortable lying, but I couldn't help but think that it was for the secret base.
We've collected enough, so it's time to go back to the village.
That's right.
There are a lot of mushrooms in the crates stored in Nina's and Stella's cages and subspace.
This shouldn't bother the mushrooms for a while.
When the three of them tried to turn back the road, they suddenly heard the sound of shaky and falling leaves stepping backwards.
Nina and Stella were walking in front of her. I'm the one with the tail, so it's strange to hear the sound from behind. Looking back questioningly, a pig was walking with a tokotoko.
He sniffs the ground as he sniffs his nose.
Probably because they have the abundant blessings of the forest. The bigger, sharper fangs were more than the pig I knew.
"...... Crete?"
Nina and Stella looked back wondering if they noticed me stopping.
"There's a pig over there."
"Oh, it's true."
When I said it with my fingers, it seemed that both of them could see it.
I didn't see any footprints, but did they come from the back?
“I think so.”
Nina and Stella, non-combatants, were around this time, so I was careful as much as I could.
The wildlife footprints and faeces were carefully checked, so it would be natural for Stella's guess to come from the back.
"Pigs are cowardly animals, so let's keep them out of sight so they don't get irritated."
But I'm already looking at it.
Yeah?
When Nina told me to turn my gaze back, the pig who had been sniffing the ground just now looked right at me.
Yeah, my eyes are perfectly aligned.
But it's okay. Pigs have the habit of reacting to things that move. If we don't show our backs and run or shout and stimulate, they won't come.
"Wow! They're running!"
I tried not to stimulate by practicing my listening knowledge, but the reality is cruel.
The pig suddenly rushed towards us.
Humans can't escape from a pig with incredible legs.
I tried to transfer Nina and Stella to the centipede, but they were surprised to recede due to the boar rushing in.
I decided that it was easier to deal with pigs by magic than to transfer coordinates between the two.
Space Slash
If you decide to do so, do it immediately.
I use spatial magic to drop a pig's head.
Because it interferes with space, pigs can neither sense nor avoid it.
The body that remained fell as forcefully as if it had forgotten how to brake.
For a shocking sight, quickly store the corpse in a subspace.
Are you both hurt?
Awesome! You can fight with Crete!
Mr. Creto was able to use attack magic, right?
Nina and Stella shouted in amazement as they looked back and asked for help.
Huh? Didn't you say you could fight like that?
Um, I only watched it transferring and moving things in and out.
When I was told, I didn't feel like I was using any attacking magic in front of Nina or Stella.
Dangerous animals and monsters rarely appeared in Howlin Village, so I didn't want to show them.
It was a slightly irritating sight, but is it okay?
It's okay! It was funny that the head of a pig fell to a stone with the magic of Crete!
Nina laughed cheerfully as she called out worriedly.
It was perfectly seen. But I was relieved because I didn't seem to have any particular concerns.
If you are interested, you will not be forced to do so.
Only the village daughter seems to be accustomed to such a sight.
I don't think we'll run into each other again, but let's return with a transfer today just in case.
Stella was a little reluctant about my proposal, but I don't know how Andre will react later if you don't agree.
After explaining that, he convinced us lightly that we had to transfer back to the village.
