Chapter 19 – Happening and New Transferee
<– Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter –>
As we were about to ride the fenrir Mashiro in search of meat, I took another look at him.
He’s taller than our hut when standing, so enemy monsters likely won’t be able to hold a candle to him, when it comes to a fight. They’ll be torn apart before, just leaving chunks of meat and blood behind. But, as a friend, he’s quite reliable to have around.
“Mashiro, I’m looking forward to working with you today,” I called out to him.
Mashiro turned his blue eyes in my direction and licked my face. Afterwards he brought his face close to mine like a dog that tries to show its affection.
“Haha, good boy, good boy.”
His fur’s fluffiness is truly superb, but as might be expected, being licked by him smells a bit.
“Ohh, Mashiro, what’s up? You’re all over Sousuke, aren’t ya?”
“Hehe, isn’t he just thankful that his mistress has become lively after joining up with Sousuke-kun?”
When Mashiro barked as if replying to Shion, Shouko’s face turned red with a poof.
“No, no, I’m always lively, you know?”
She’s probably forgotten how she had hugged me while crying during our reunion. After seeing Shion and me looking at her with eyes full of doubt, she became sulky, crying out, “What! Did I say anything wrong!?”
“I want to experience some of the fluff too!”
Once Chiyu hugged Mashiro with all her might, the fenrir whimpered, obviously feeling good. Looking at Mashiro’s face, I asked Shouko, “…Say, Shouko, is Mashiro male?”
“……Yeah.”
Mashiro’s face looked so sloppy that even I could guess that he was likely enjoying the soft pressure from Chiyu’s breasts.
Well, he’s a comrade, and feeling jealous of mythical beasts seems to be off. Then again, to be absolutely honest, I do feel a tiny bit of jealousy.
“Oh, right. I wonder if I could ask you to have Mashiro fell some trees once we obtain meat?”
“Obvi! That’s gonna be a piece of cake for Mashiro!”
“That’s great. In that case, I might also make a hut for Mashiro.”
“Ohh! A Fenrir hut!? Niiiice!”
It’s going to be more like a dog house.
For the time being, we wrapped up the talk at this point and got on Mashiro. Since Mashiro crouched down out of consideration for us, Shouko and I went up first and then respectively pulled Chiyu and Shion up.
Mashiro barked gleefully, knowing that the butts of three beautiful girls were pressing against his back.
“Hmm, I already thought about it yesterday, skirts aren’t really good when straddling Mashiro, huh?”
Shion pulled down her skirt, adjusting it so that it’d be tucked underneath her bum.
Come to think of it, Chiyu always did that as well whenever she sat down on a seat in a train or when riding a bicycle, didn’t she? Very likely her panties would touch the seat directly or become visible thanks to the wind rolling up her skirt, if she neglected in doing that.
“You can’t really call it a good outfit for walking in a forest either,” I agreed casually.
But, Chiyu retorted at that point, “But, if we stop wearing skirts, Sou-kun’s motivation will plummet.”
“Why!?”
Well, I certainly do like skirts, but still…
“Today we’ll have you, Shoko-chan, take the turn in lighting the fires. This should complete Sou-kun’s mental panties collection.”
“I haven’t even created any such collection.”
I haven’t remembered anything about Chiyu’s being white or Shion wearing slightly sexy, black ones.
“…W-Well, Sousuke has taken very good care of me, so that much…should be okay, I guess…”
I haven’t created any mental collections, but if I’m told something like that with a bashful demeanor, I’ll become somewhat fidgety as well.
“F-For now, let us be off.”
By the way, I stored everything except for the stone wall and fence in my Inventory. After all, it’d become a bother if we came back, just to find the place devastated by beasts or taken over by other transferees.
“Okay, okay. Mashiro, go ahead and search for meat. We’d really love to eat some meat soonish.”
“Ah, if possible, please find us boar meat.”
In isekai stories you’ll find huge boars, boars with horns, and even boars with abnormally sharp fangs, but I think we’ll be able to handle all of them as long as we have Mashiro with us.
As soon as he stood up, I became able to view things from high up.
“Whao!”
I reflexively clung to Chiyu in front of me, but I missed my hold and grabbed her boobs instead of her waist. I could clearly feel like her big boobs changed their form.
“Nngh…Sou-kun, doing it on top of Mashiro is a bit…”
“No, wron-…sorry, I made a mistake!”
I swiftly moved my hand down to her waist. Looking at the back of her head, I saw that Chiyu’s ears had become bright red.
“Sorry, Chiyu. That wasn’t intentional.”
“I know. Whispering close to my ears is taboo.”
My childhood-friend was trembling. I really wanted to have a look at her face right now, but it’d be impossible with our current positions.
While all of this was going on, Mashiro sniffed the air, changed his direction, swiftly scaled the stone wall, and started to run. Apparently being considerate of us in his own way, the riding comfort was much better than I had imagined.
Just like that, the fenrir dashed through the forest with us on his back.
“Wow…!”
I unconsciously blurted out due to the speed of the scenery racing past.
“Right, isn’t it!?”
Shouko looked happy about me praising Mashiro.
After a while, Mashiro slowly dropped his speed.
“We’re getting close now.”
“Got it.”
I got ready to deploy my weapon at any moment. The basic plan was to leave the hunting to Mashiro, but having a spear ready or swinging an ax would make a big difference in the worst case. Besides, those were things even I could use for combat, according to the isekai manga I’ve read so far. Depending on the circumstances, it might become necessary to use them here.
Before long we were also able to see the prey which Mashiro had detected earlier.
It was a boar.
But there were two things of note here.
First, the boar was basically no different from the ones on Earth. Well, an ordinary high-school student usually won’t have any opportunities to watch a wild boar, but so far as it goes, it doesn’t have any obvious isekai features at a first glance.
Second, someone other than us was being chased by the boar.
“Haa…haa…ugh, t-this time for sure…!”
A girl with gallant features and her long, black hair tied into a ponytail just turned her head around while running away from the boar and pointed something like a branch at it.
“Hit it…!”
In the next instant, many pebbles came into existence around the wand’s tip, before being shot towards the boar.
――Magic! Or rather, offensive magic, huh?
Chiyu was able to get 『Healing Magic』, so it’s not weird for someone to possess 『Attack Magic』 either.
But, probably because her aim was bad, only one or two of the pebbles hit the boar. Far from bringing down her enemy, she only angered it even further.
To begin with, it seems like the scale of her magic is small, but it might be elementary offensive magic, just like Chiyu’s elementary healing.
“Sousuke! What’re we going to do!?”
Even while feeling panicked, Shouko still sought my decision.
“We have no time to dismount! Mashiro, can you handle it!?”
Shouko happily nodded at my immediate reply while Shion put on a serious expression and Chiyu showed her usual, expressionless one.
“Now we’re talking! Mashiro, charge!”
Mashiro accelerated with us on top in order to rescue the girl.
