I was hit by a tremendous mental fatigue, yet also feeling happy, as I came out after fighting Shion, Roa, Shinpo, and Senyuu in succession.
I had something I wanted to ask her.
I told the Shokishi, who was riding on Mashiro’s back, what I wanted.
She then had a look as if she remembered something.
“Oh, right. You mentioned that.”
Actually, during the bonus area exploration last night, I had been with the Shokishi.
“Yeah. Can I ask you something before I choose a new summon?”
The Shokishi’s ‘fluffy summoning ability’ doesn’t have a limit of how many she can summon.
However, there seems to be a limit to their size.
Before, besides Mashiro, she could only summon three sheep, but now that her ability has improved, she can summon Mikuron.
And now that her ability has improved again, she seems to be looking for a third phantom beast.
Before summoning this new companion, I wanted her to summon a different animal for me.
「Cashmere goat, right? We looked it up in the guidebook, and it was fluffy as expected, so it should work!」
The girl who had been riding on Mashiro’s back got down and walked up to me. That’s right.
We had stopped by the bookstore in the bonus area and found the cashmere goat in the animal guidebook, confirming its appearance.
Masuko’s ability is greatly influenced by her imagination, so she can’t summon something she doesn’t know.
Also, even if she knows about it, she can’t summon it if she doesn’t feel its fluffiness.
And regarding the cashmere goat, it’s the goat that produces cashmere, which is called the fiber gem.
「Sousuke, you’re really kind. You remembered that Senyuu wanted cashmere, right?」
Masuko said with a calm smile.
「Well, it wasn’t that long ago.」
「No, remembering a brief conversation from a week ago is pretty rare.」
「I don’t remember everything either.」
「Hmm? Anyway, I’ll summon it.」 「Sure, please do.」
Shouko closed her eyes and when she opened them again, four Cashmere Goats appeared there.
Their entire bodies were covered in long fur, and they had backward-curving horns, all of them pure white.
“Right, I think you’re supposed to comb out the fur with a rake, aren’t you?”
“Didn’t the book say it takes the fur from three or four of them to make a sweater? No wonder it’s so expensive.”
I generated a wooden rake and started combing out the fur, and Shouko held out her hand with a “hn.” “What’s up?” “No, I just want to help.”
“Sure, but it’s your free time after all.”
I wanted her to do what she wanted to do.
“Hey, wouldn’t you help me if I was in trouble? Isn’t it the same for me?”
Shouko looked a bit sulky, and I smiled wryly.
It seemed she was upset that I hadn’t asked her for help.
“…Oh, thanks, Shouko. Well, I’ll take you up on that.”
“Yeah, you should have said that from the start.” “Haha, I’ll keep that in mind.”
Knowing how annoying it is to be asked to do something, I feel bad asking others for favors.
But there is also joy in being asked for help by others.
If I know that, maybe I’ll be able to ask someone I trust for help.
At the very least, Shokushu doesn’t seem to mind being asked for help.
I’m grateful for that, and I hand her the rake.
“Yeah, and if we do it together, we’ll be twice as efficient, right? Then maybe I can get my share of cashmere too?”
“I see. Of course, I’ll help you out when that time comes.”
“I know. That’s just how you are, Sōsuke.” Shokushu smiles.
Her smile is natural and full of charm.
“I will also offer my humble assistance.”
We’re surprised to see Roa appear out of nowhere.
“Uh, I didn’t hear your footsteps… ” “Roa, when did you…?”
「Moving silently is a maid’s preference, after all.」
Leaving aside whether that’s truly a maid’s preference, Roa’s physical abilities are actually quite impressive.
She was also picking soybeans at an unusually fast speed.
「Well then, I’ll ask you to do this. Please gently collect the wool from this cashmere goat with a rake.」
「Understood. Miss Senyuu is currently trying out the portable shower she obtained last night, so if you want to surprise her, it would be best to get this done now.」
This maid is too perceptive.
「Senyuu, why are you taking a shower now? Did you want to try it out that badly?」 The servant tilted her head.
It’s because I had her covered in a lot of semen after I cast “Erectile Strength Enhancement” on myself, but I didn’t feel like mentioning it…
「Well, well. Anyway, let’s hurry.」 「…I’ll help too.」
It seems she came out because she was worried about everyone going outside. 「Yasashii, Muka.」
「No, it’s not that. I just want to pay back a little.」 「You’re so uptight and then so affectionate.」
「I don’t remember being affectionate, and I don’t plan to be.」 「No, it’s fine, Muka.」
So the four of us set to work collecting the wool.
Loa once again proves herself indispensable.
With blinding speed, she fills the buckets with wool.
She’s not being rough, though. The cashmere is staring dazedly as it loses strength. Utterly efficient.
“Master. May I summon another cashmere goat?” “Y-Yeah…”
While I’m no match for Loa’s efficiency, the other three of us also set to work.
I’ve done this with sheep before, and it’s quite a laborious task.
By the time I finish with one, Loa has already collected wool from seven.
”…Considering the efficiency, Loa’s help is a huge relief.” “I’m honored.”
Loa, who is thanking me politely, isn’t even sweating.
“Tsugumi. We tried our best too~”
Her arms are swinging as she speaks, apparently tired from the work.
She doesn’t say anything, but it looks like the Dream World is tired too.
Ah, thank you, My Lady and Dream World. Um… that’s about ten bodies’ worth.
It’s wonderful that you can clean the fur and remove dirt with your Master’s power.
Once stored, the dirt will be cleaned, and ‘Inventory’ automatically sorts things.
Um, about four bodies’ worth in sweaters, and one body’s worth in scarves… so ten bodies’ worth would be about two sweaters and two scarves.
No, if I generate one sweater and make six scarves, the ladies will have enough cashmere.
The area we’re working in has an autumn-like climate, but it can get a bit chilly sometimes.
When riding on the phantoms, the wind feels stronger, so having a scarf might be good.
If Chiyou has her ‘Basic Healing’, we could do a bit more, but it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore, would it?
This is for Medical Mountain. No, it’s more like Kyouya.
Chiyou wanted them. Of course, if everyone else wants them, I’ll collect more.
Of course, I will gladly assist.
「Thanks, Roa. I’ll rely on you when the time comes.” Having her around is like having a hundred helpers.
For now, I’ll finish up here and send the cashmere goat back to where it came from.
Shakushi looked a little sad, but it was her own fault for calling it out to get its fur.
“Hmm? I thought you were gone. What are you doing outside? I think it’s a bit early for outdoor group play.”
Chiyu came out after finishing her shower, just as the cashmere goat disappeared.
I managed to avoid spoiling the present before giving it to her.
“Nothing. But, Kousuke has something he wants to talk to Chiyu about.”
“Whispers of love? Anytime, welcome.”
“Ah… Well, can we go inside for a bit?” “…Sure.”
I thanked everyone in my heart and went back inside with Chiyu.
Chiyu wanted the cashmere on the 15th day of the first week, so it’s been a week in the story.
