Well, even though a few days have passed, I still have a long way to go, and today I will continue to drive the carriage forward at my own pace.
I've heard it will still take a while to get to Utopora, but since I'm not alone, there's no reason to be bored with my time.
Currently it's Gosha and Aina, with me beside them, Renge and Sorte helping to eliminate the enemies along the way, and Shiro keeping an eye on the surroundings from the back of the carriage.

Ummmmm.

I'm having Wendy take care of my request in the back of the cart, but I could have done it when we got to Utopora instead of doing it now.
I'm having her do some sewing for me, but I'm afraid it's going to be rocky in the back of the truck and I'm afraid the needle will stick in my fingers.

Fluffy.

The weather is clear today.
If it weren't for the fact that there are no demons, I'd rather take a nap in the field around here.
I think White might be taking a nap as well, as his hands are hanging down and looking very alert.
I don't mean to say anything, because even in my sleep I can easily notice the approach of the enemy, but... I'm a little jealous.

I can't even lie down in my current location, and the back of the cart is rocking so badly that it's hard to sleep.......

'Hey, my lord?'
What?
What have you been ... well ... what are you doing?
Oh, this?　It's just something interesting.

I'll show you the light blue dough I've been stretching and rubbing as a plaything from earlier.
Renge and Sorte had gathered the material from hunting the enemies in the vicinity, and it's what was in it.

''Is that ... a coating of slime?''
Yeah. It's kind of nice to the touch and it's fun to stretch it out and it comes back to normal.

Because it's awesome, you know?
It's about the size of your palm, so thin that you can see the other side when you pull on it and stretch it out, but when you let go of it, it comes back to normal.
And it feels nice to the touch... as if you're touching your smooth thighs!

'But it's not going to stay stretched, is it?
Hmm. You got a minute?
Hmm?　Here you go.
The slime coating doesn't come back to life when you twist and stretch it.

With that, Aina reached out and plucked at the slime's membrane, twisting and stretching it, and when she let go of her hand, it didn't really go back to normal.
It's funny how even when she re-twisted it, it stayed stretched out and hardened, and from there she could pull it to the side again!

'Great!　I mean, it's a lot thinner, but won't it cut?
It's easy to cut with a sharp blade, though. As long as you don't stretch it too far, it won't cut through the slime's coating.

Ooh!
What fun material!
And it looks like it could be used for smelting!

I've heard it's very useful in villages in the desert. I've heard they use it for storing water.
Yeah. Will it ever be the same again?
No. If you get too close to the fire, it will shrink.

Aina extended her index finger and slowly brought it closer so that it wouldn't hit the membrane as she let out a small flame from the tip of her fingernail.
Then the membrane of slime that had been stretched out shrank and returned to its original size.

I see. This is still interesting. I want more, but.......not much?

I'll look at the magic space, but there are five of them.
If you're going to include experiments, you'll want to double that number.

Hm, then White will get it.

White peeks out from between Aina and me.
No, you're needed for protection, and I don't want you to leave.

Then let's stop the carriage. The horses must be rested soon, and I'll ask Wendy to get the water out.
'That's true too. You guys have done well.

Baboon! The two horses that wore their neighs as a reply.
I was surprised at first, but you got used to it as you continued your journey.

'Well then, I'll get it.'
Yeah, have a good day, okay?

White quickly ran off with a knife in his hand.
Most of the enemies have been eliminated and turned by Renge and Sorte, and no enemies have appeared for a long time, so they're probably just trying to get their bodies moving.

As Aina and I prepare to take a break, we dismounted from the carriage and tied the horse's reins to a nearby tree, and as we prepared to take a break, I suddenly had a question.

"Come to think of it, isn't slime dangerous?

In some games and other games, they're treated as small fry enemies, but in my mind, they look like they'll regenerate quickly if you slash them with your sword.

''That's right. Many slimes are weak against fire and strong against physics. They're especially hard to defeat with a mallet or the like. But since the magic stone is exposed, as long as we can destroy it, there's no problem.
You don't think he'll be swallowed up?
As for their main method of attack, as long as you don't panic, there's no problem with the slime around here. The poisonous slime or the poisonous human slime are dangerous, but they live in dimly lit places, so they won't be around here.
Yeah. So there are humanoid ones too?
Oh, they say she has the body of a beautiful woman. ...My lord, if you meet her, don't jump on her, okay?
I won't jump...

With so many good women around me, there's no way I'm going to jump on them knowing that they are poisonous and demonic.......

After the preparations are done, I walk up to the horses and lightly pat one of them on the head, and the other one rubs its head against me and starts begging me.

'Hey, stop tickling me...............oh, okay!　I get it!

I stroked the heads of both horses, and both seemed to feel good as they closed their eyes and stroked their heads as they were done.

'I see your lord likes horses too,'
You just happen to be friendly. Besides, it's my job to feed you.

When I took out the ca-carrot from the magical space, the two heads raised their heads and immediately bit me.
'Wait, or sit down, you can't be a stone.

''Yes, please drink some water as well.

Wendy fetches a tub of water and puts it out in front of the two horses, who have eaten all the carrots and start guzzling it down.
They must have been pretty thirsty after pulling us + the load all the way down.
They drank so much that I wondered if I should have given them the carrots after the water.

'Shall we have a smoke too?'
Yeah. Anyway, can I get some water too?　I'll save the sweets for when you three get back.

I take out a simple chair from the magic space and unfold it, then slowly sit down and look around.
There are no demons in sight, just shade and the breeze that caresses my cheeks feels good.

Recently, I realized that the water born from the water magic that Wendy releases is spring water!　It's so good.
Honestly, I think it would be better to leave the water to Wendy.

'Yes, master. Please.
Thank you. Hmm.........huh? It's still good.
'Hmmm, I can only give you water if you praise me.　Come in, Aina.
Thank you. Wendy's water is really good, you know.

Aina takes the water, and they sit down so that Wendy can get her share of the water as well, and they sit down on either side of me.

'Feng. How much longer do you have left?
Well I guess it's going to take me three more days.
That's a long way. It's a good thing you followed me.

A week or more one way, two weeks round trip.
If it takes time to defeat the cave, it's about a month.
It's a bit too hard to keep waiting for that kind of time with a burning desire to get there.

What are you going to do when you get to Utopora?
I don't have any specific plans........ It's up to Aina and the others to decide how many days they'll stay, and I can do the sightseeing after the three of them come back.
'Don't worry about us, okay?　Why don't you use a service that gives you a guided tour anyway?　It will be convenient for us to decide on a place to stay while we're at the guild.
Heh. Hmmm........so I'll do that then.
Yeah. We're going to spend the night there too, you know. Don't worry, we won't go without permission.
Oh. I'll chase you if you go by yourself.
'Hmmm, I'll make sure Solte and Lenge know that.

Aina smiles and takes another sip of water.

What a calm time.
Suddenly, I felt a weight on my shoulder, and I saw Aina's head was close to mine.

'Aina?'
Will I be able to...?　You know, I was a little jealous of Solte the other day.
No, I'm good.
Thank you....

Aina softly closes her eyes.
The sun glistening through the trees illuminates her face, and a soft breeze sways Aina's bangs.
It's a pleasant day.

I raise the arm of the one Aina isn't leaning on to drink from a glass of water and bring it to my mouth.

''Well ... but will I interrupt you ... but ...''

Wendy seems to be thinking in a very small voice.
When she sees Wendy, she puts her cup down and then gently pulls her head back and gently lets her head rest on her shoulder.

'Oh....'
No need to be distracted. You can always go ahead and do whatever you want.
Yes thank you very much.

Wendy gently closes her eyes.
Then, Aina and Wendy snuggle up to me, and although I can't move, I don't care.
When I also close my eyes gently, a smile naturally forms, and I decide to enjoy the rest from the bottom of my heart.

''Ooh ... your husband looks happy to be sandwiched between your tits.''
It's amazing.........tits change shape.......
Hmm.....shapeshifting....
Oh, White, I need you to lend me that slime membrane. If I stack them up and stretch them over my chest, I can get myself...
Oh. White does it too!
Are you guys okay with this?

Welcome back. And don't let the three of you hear me if you're gonna whisper.
And I don't approve of fake tits.
