I saved up food while leveling Fighter's level yesterday. I gathered a lot of things like aralia's sprout, fiddleheads, bracken, and such, there was no sense of season at all. Of course along with various fruits. That reminds me, there was a type of fruit I had never seen before.
Ramputun Fruit
Besides for consumption, it's also an ingredient for making nutrient, it can be sold at a good price.
Keep it a secret that I hoarded a lot of it because I was attracted by the price part!
I'm finally departing under this clear weather! I stayed too long though!

【Inherent Skill】
To be honest, the only titles I have that look usable are only this and 【One who Surpasses Mom】. Then this one is still the better. It's effective when moss balls come out after all.
Now then, I decided to head toward the east direction I inferred by looking at the sun. I continue to advance while cutting grass so I can get back if I make a mistake. Moss balls might come out too.
Slice slice
After walking for about two hours.
I saw something that looked to be the forest's exit when I was getting tired of this. I think I can see an open plain beyond it.
Claang, cliing
It's probably not with Moss balls, but a fight between something who use weapons.
I head toward the source of the sound while consciously erasing my presence behind trees.
As I got closer, I saw two people fighting a group of goblin-like monsters.
My eyes opened wide when I saw their appearances! Animal...ears!!
HP:20/20 MP:1/1
As female goblin does not exist, it makes use of women of other races to breed, a vilified being.

Since the girls have cut down several goblins already, they probably wouldn't have a problem if it were not for that wound.
First, I need to keep their attention away from me. I pick a nearby stone and swing my arm.
Eat this! I throw the stone while praying that it'd be nice if it was a gyro ball that sent out a tornado!!
FUSHUN!
The stone flew at a speed impossible for me to reproduce before I came to this world, and hit a goblin.
"Gobua!?"
It sank into the face of a goblin archer in the back row! Looks like it fainted and fell down.
"I'll help you two!"
Fox-san replies while looking surprised at me suddenly calling her.
"Thank you. I'm a magician, careful not to get hit 'kay."
This body has a higher performance than I thought, perhaps it's due to the increased level. The stones hit the places I aimed at, possibly due to the assistance of Throwing skill.
I rushed to where Fox-san (temp) was when I ran out of stones.
"Frankly speaking, I'm not that strong, but I'll be young ladies' shield even if I have to offer this body."
I don't have a shield though.
"Uhihi, getting called young lady by a child feels itchy. Could ya at least protect the girl behind while I'm casting a spell?"
"Understood."
Fox-san began to concentrate on something while dodging. Now then, I'll go to where Cat-san, who can't move, is and fight the coming mobs. I acted cool and all but I could only evade and evade and block with my sword. I countered weakly sometimes.
Oh, it seems my provocation worked too well, three of the goblins are coming at me. Even though I have Magic Clad, its defensive power isn't enough to block sword attacks, so I'm getting wounded here and there. Ouch ouch ouch ouch, there's no big wound, but painful things are painful.
Thankfully, the goblins are not that strong, so even I can handle them well without getting fatally hit with my Swordsmanship Lv2.
DOSH
Fox-san shouts when I finally succeeded cutting down a goblin.
"I'm ready, fall back when I signal ya."
After the flame disappeared, only roasted goblins remain.
Tereretettette~♪ Fighter leveled up to level 5.
Oh, looks like I leveled up too.
"...Mitama. Thank you for saving us..."
The moment when they were thanking me.
SNAP
"....Hinyaaaaaaa"
And then I feel refreshing wind on my lower body.... When I timidly looked down, an elephant overflowing with unused atmosphere was peeking between my nether region.
Uooooo, the string of my trousers and underwear got cut.
"....auauau"
Futsuno-san is looking at me while smiling, "pukukuku". On the other hand, Cat-san who's called Mitama is averting her gaze with a reddened face.
"I'm Nobusada. Just call me Nobu."
I tried my best to look as calm as possible, but my face is probably also red. I never thought that my nether region would get fully exposed.
"Then, Nobu-kun. Forgive me for being shameless, but do ya have a medical set? The bandage we had on hands got trampled during that battle earlier."
"Pu, ahahaha, Nobu-kun, you're small but good with flattery. Then, I'll gratefully borrow it."
She opens the potion and sprinkles it on the affected limb. After that, she wraps the wound with a cut-off cloth I brought from the hut. I've boiled the cloth in the hut so there should be no problem with the hygiene.
"Just consider it free. But if you insist.... you could let me touch those fluffy mofumofu ears. Or rather, please allow me to touch them."
Futsuno-san opens her eyes wide in surprises. Huh? Did I say something that surprising?
"....Nobu-kun sure is bold ain't ya. For beastfolks, only family can touch their ears ya know? Once they grew up, even family can't touch 'em y'know?"
"In other words, asking a young female beastfolk to let you touch her ears is the same as asking her hands in marriage ya see."
That cannot be!? If I can't freely touch them, that means the road to become Mofumofu King is extraordinarily steep!? Kuuh, but, I won't shrink back, I won't break, I won't give up! I can't become Mofumofu King if I give up.
I was down on all fours in despair, but I pull myself together and stand up. No good, my emotion is too unstable.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was that important. I don't know a lot of things since I just came out of the forest."
"Un, it seems I was abandoned in the forest before my grandfather picked me. My grandfather passed away the other day, so I was thinking of going to the city since I had no other relative."
I thought of that excuse in the nights before today. It's a common setting, but this is probably the most reasonable pretext for someone with a child body.
"You've been through a lot haven't ya."
Mitama-san doesn't talk much doesn't she. No wait, is she on guard because of what I did earlier? That would be very regretful if it was.
"Mitama-san, I'm sorry. Were you offended by what happened earlier?"
Shake shake. She denied with her head.
"Ah, this girl usually doesn't talk much. All the more against an opposite sex. In case of Nobu-kun, I think she's just nervous. Yer' our lifesaver 'fter all."
I thought they looked beautiful from afar, but they really are beautiful looking this close.
Mitama is silver haired, blue eyes. She's equipped with a thin leather armor, carrying a dagger and a small bow. She has a nice body with curves at the right places, her relatively big breasts are not that excessive, but they're only slightly emphasized by the leather armor, damn. Her height is sadly only a little taller than mine.
Let's take care of our relationship from now on. Gonna have to thank Gune for dropping me in this place.
No, more importantly, what is subjugation part?
"Subjugation part of goblins?"
"Ah, guess you wouldn't know that too. You collect these left ear and the Soul Stone around the chest of the goblins see."
I watch the two from the sideline and then try it at once. I use my knife to slice off the left ear and look for the thing called Soul Stone. I feel a bit hesitant, but I resolve myself and thrust my hand into the chest.
I caught and pulled out a black crystal-like thing. So this is a Soul Stone. Wonder if this is the same thing as the Magic Stone commonly found in light novels. I'll just regard it as such.
What's this super cute creature. I wanna take it home.
"Alrite' then. We've completed the gathering and all, let's go back to the city. Now let's, snap snap."
We walk toward the city as urged by Futsuno-san. This person is really a good mood maker.
