Mr. Yakisugi provided me with a backpack strap that I could carry on my back.
It looks more like a backpack than a string.
It is nice to have both hands free.
Yakisugi-san and Liv-san came to the entrance to see me off, saying, “I’ll take you there.”
As I was leaving the guild house, ah, this is bad――! I realized that, but it was already too late.
Immediately, the sharp gazes of the three AI girls flew at me.
No, it wasn’t just the gaze.
Misaki and Kaede flew away at almost the same time and were surrounded in no time.
Himemi, who doesn’t fly away, is scarier for me, but…
“Wait, Mami-chan, what’s going on!”
Why do you do that to Mami?
“No, wait a minute…”
There, Himemi suddenly pushed them away.
Then I touch Mami’s right leg, which is on my back.
Well, you guessed it. ……
“What’s wrong with this!”
Misaki and Kaede also notice that Mami’s right leg is missing below the knee.
“No– what!? That leg–”
“Really! Mami’s legs are missing…”
“–That’s what it means.”
I told the three of them about the fight with the bugbuster penguins earlier.
Wow–!
Suddenly Himemi hugged me.
But not me.
He hugged Mami, who was on his back, as well as me.
As far as I could tell, my face turned red.
Being hugged by a woman is something I’ve never experienced before, so it can’t be helped.
“You did your best, Mami, you’re great.”
Misaki and Kaede also came over to Mami’s side and stroked her head.
“Well done, Mami-chan. Thank you so much for protecting Master.”
“I’ve been watching you! You did it, Mami-chan!”
Whew, thank goodness – now we can have peace.
Among the three, Mami’s stock seems to have risen, and it seems to be going well.
In the underground labyrinth of Oburo, the cooperation of these girls will be important.
“Oh, why is even Master blushing?”
“No, uh… it’s a little hot.”
Mami’s cheeks blushed a little and she seemed embarrassed, but I couldn’t see it.
“But it will become a burden on Master. I will carry it on my back.”
Without waiting for my reply, Himemi forcibly removed the piggyback strap.
“Eh, wait a minute…”
Before I can say it all, Misaki and Kaede are also complicit in it.
“That’s right! That’s what you should–”
“I know, you can’t put a burden on Master!”
Mami also resists, but the three of them seem to have ended up in vain.
Mami, who looked a little dissatisfied, was carried on her back by Himemi.
How about I let Himemi, who plays the role of the vanguard, carry it on my back! ? Even though I thought that, I didn’t have the courage to say it.
“Yotaro-san, please take this with you.”
Looking at what Liv-san presented, it was a green egg.
“Eh, what is this?”
“This is a recovery egg made for the underground labyrinth of Oburo.”
“Recovery?”
“It can’t be used in a duel, but I made it according to Oblo’s specifications, so it should recover hit points. However, the level of the roosters is still low, so the amount recovered by one rooster is about 20%. I’m sorry if it doesn’t work. Because of this situation, I can’t even test it.”
“Such a wonderful thing… eh, there are twenty of them, so many…”
“Yes, of course! I wish I could give you more…but that’s all I’ve done yet.”
“No, no, thank you very much for such a precious thing.”
“This from me”
It was a JXB card that Mr. Yakisugi presented.
It’s a convenient prepaid card that can be used at various shops in the XANA Metaverse just by showing it to the AI staff.
“Eh, this is bad, it’s like currency…”
No, it was given to me as a parting gift by Mr. Liamun through Mr. Pencho. Why don’t you use it to equip Obloh? It is for the sake of saving our friends, and I think you can accept it without hesitation.”
――Didn’t I have a death flag raised a while ago?
Thank you.” I will definitely come back with everyone ahead of me–!”
“Yes, please do so. We will do our best to protect the place to return.”
Yakisugi-san is really cool! “I’m going to fall in love with you…”
“Well, I also swear by the rooster fighter.”
“Even at a time like this, you still love roosters…”
There are many Xanarians who have a strong love for roosters, and there are several people who have already raised more than 50 roosters.
After saying that, the three of us laughed and I left for Oblo with the AIs.
