「Deep, how about you?” “Yeah, I got it.” The crowd murmured in surprise. After defeating the giant slime.
I thought there was only a ten percent chance of it, but since Deep got the reward, it’s confirmed.
Once again, the ‘Acidic Echo Slime’ has been defeated. “Nice job!”
This means I’ve acquired one ‘Memory Inheritance’.
If it’s the same as the ‘Return Right’, it should be possible to transfer it for free in case of duplication.
If it’s obtained as a reward for defeating the monster, those who are skilled in battle will have a higher chance of getting it.
I should check the mystery blackboard again just to make sure.
“It wasn’t just my strength. This is thanks to everyone.”
She’s being modest or maybe she really thinks that way. That’s Deep. “Shion will be jealous, right?”
Sei said, with the corner of her mouth slightly raised, it’s probably her way of joking.
“Yeah, Shion really wanted to inherit the memories.” Chiyu also agreed.
Honestly, she might be jealous, but she wouldn’t be envious.
Rather, wouldn’t you be happy to know that ‘Memory Inheritance’ is actually obtainable?
“Ah, um, well, Koyo is…”
As we were chatting naturally, Genju raised his voice uncomfortably. “What’s wrong, Genju…?”
“I’m not sure what’s wrong, but is Koyo okay…?”
“Ah… I’m fine, but…”
Genju pointed it out, and I had to face the fact that I had been consciously trying not to think about it.
We were still at the place where we had fought the slime.
And now, I was—being held by three of Mom’s clones.
One was on my back, and the other two were on my arms.
It looked like I was trifurcating triplets, but they were all the same person.
Their scent, their voice, their softness were all the same.
As a healthy man, it made my heart race.
「Sousuke-kun, do you not like it?」「That can’t be, right?」「You came to help Momos with all your might with the only life you have.」
Momos and the others stick to me like this.
At first, I tried to resist gently, but it’s hard to break free when three girls gang up on me.
I can’t force them either.
What’s surprising to Genjuu is that Sera and Chiyu are not angry about this.
Deepo is blushing slightly, but she’s not angry either.
「If you’re just playing around with Sousuke, it’s annoying, but if you’re serious, there’s nothing to be done about it.」
「Yeah. If you know Sousuke’s charm, you’re a worthy candidate for a harem.」
「Y-Yeah, I guess. Having feelings for Sousuke isn’t something to be denied.」
While I tend to focus on Chiyu’s depth of character, all of her lovers accept the harem.
The three Momos are looking happy.
「Oh my, you’ve become completely captivated by Kono-kun.」
Shikashi smiled while chuckling, but since I had just seen her worrying about Momo, her behavior was rather endearing.
“Nene, poor thing. You don’t seem to understand Saou-kun’s charm.”
Momo made a smug face mixed with a pitying one. “Hehe, I wonder.”
Shikashi didn’t falter in her confident smile. She must be used to dealing with Momo.
Or rather, did Momo really… like me?
No, I wasn’t doubting it or anything.
Momo was a child who sought the joy of being acknowledged by others, without knowing what love was.
So while she acted in a way that made the boys direct their hearts toward her, she would reject their confessions without feeling guilty about it.
She was probably just looking for help to make her cuteness popular again, and had no romantic feelings toward me. That was the extent of her change.
It wasn’t hard for me to be confused.
“I’m not on Momo’s side or anything, but I really do think she means it.”
Seirina said, as if reading my mind.
That’s why Momo and Serina are similar in that I saved them both from a life-threatening situation.
Because of that, Serina might understand Momo’s feelings.
“True. And it’s also a happy thing for me.” Inugai follows Serina.
She had previously hoped that someone unique would be found for Momo.
It seemed she thought that if she were satisfied with just one person’s approval, she wouldn’t need to be attached to the approval of many… “Why is Nene happy about it?” “She’s my important childhood friend.” ”…Hmm. Well, whatever.”
Momo says it indifferently, but it’s probably just her way of hiding her embarrassment.
「You, if you keep being all over Sou-kun like that and then start flattering the guys again like you used to, I’ll lock you in the barrier, okay?」
「Mm. Our harem is pure love.」
「I won’t! I’m only interested in Sōsuke!」
「…That’s good, but it’s getting close to lunchtime. I think we should talk about whether we should continue exploring or go back.」
Deep Ho tried to change the subject.
Then, the three Momo’s simultaneously let out a rumbling stomach.
「…Shion should be making lunch, so let’s head back for now. We’ll look for the ‘Red and Black Arvanc’ again in the afternoon.」
「Y-Yes. I’ll let Ryouka know.」
Momo, blushing but still speaking cheerfully, said, “I’m hungry.” 「Please do.」
We used our radios to contact Shion.
Since the Clear Phoenix party already knew that our party could obtain items through special means, we had no intention of hiding it from them.
By the way, only ten people, including myself, can enter the bonus area.
If we keep adding more party members, we could theoretically bring in up to 41 points worth of items in a day, but it seems that’s not allowed.
The mystery blackboard had set the limit at 10 points a day. 「Alright, let’s head back.」
「Can I ride behind you, Souta-kun?」 「No, you ride.」 「Hm. This is the couple’s seat.」 「Mmm…」
Momo puffed out her cheeks at Sei and Senkai’s comments, but didn’t bite back as she used to.
「It’s okay. We can cuddle later.」
Saying that, she headed toward the fluffy griffin, Hirow. 「Souchan.」
Alright, I was about to get back on the Micron when Senyuu called out to me. “What’s up?”
“The top contributor of today’s battle is Mino-chan.” “Oh, right…”
I agree, but I’m not sure what she’s getting at.
“Children who work hard deserve rewards. That’s what motivates them to try even harder next time.”
”…Yeah, I see. You’re right, Senyuu.”
When you get a hundred points on a test, you get praised or something bought for you.
Whether or not there’s a reward for success does indeed have a big impact on motivation.
I nodded and approached Shinpo. “Shinpo, you did great.”
“Thank you. You too, Souzou. …By the way, are you all right now?”
Half of my body had been pierced by the slime, and my body had been exposed to acid.
Shinpo was worried about that.
“I’m all healed up. And you really did a lot for me this time. So if there’s anything I can do for you, let me know.”
「N-no, it’s just common sense to work together, right?」
「It’s common sense, but I’m still grateful. Or, do you need something from me?」
It might have sounded a bit mean, but I felt that this was necessary to get what I wanted out of Shinfu.
「U-uh… Well, um…」
After a brief pause, Shinfu leaned in close to my ear and whispered in a pleading voice.
「I want to do some ‘training’ together, just the two of us.」
Training was a code word between Shinfu and me, something we used when we wanted to be alone together.
「…If that’s what you want, of course.」 「I’m so happy.」
Shinfu’s genuine smile made me feel happy too.
I was aware of my face heating up as I mounted Mikron.
After defeating the two unique individuals, we all returned to the base.
