Multiple updates today.

This is chapter 4.

I'm heading out on Fenrir's Machiro to hunt for meat.

I take another look at Machiro.

When it stood up, it was taller than the hut that served as our current base of operations.

If it showed up as an enemy monster, it wouldn't be something we could fight in the early stages.

Just munched on until it was all gone, then the fun was over.

It’s good to have friends.

“Mashiro, take care of her.”

I tried to say something to them.

Machiro looks at me with blue eyes before licking my face.

After that, it pushes its face against me like a dog that has bonded with its owner. "H-haha. There, there."

Its fur is incredibly soft and pleasant to pet, but honestly, it smelled a bit when it licked me.

"Oh my. Machiro, what's wrong? You're totally attached to Sou-suke now."

"Hehe, I bet it's because your master got some energy back after reuniting with you, Sou-kun. It must be showing its gratitude."

Machiro barks in response to Shi-ine's words, while Shouji blushes deeply.

"No way, I'm always full of energy!"

Had she already forgotten how, upon their reunion, she had wept and thrown herself into his arms?

Under the warm, affectionate gazes of me and Shion, Moko pouted.

"Hmph!" she whined, though she added, "I want to give a hug too."

When Chiyu mustered her courage and hugged him, Mashiro let out a contented sound.

Looking at his face, I asked Moko.

"……Hey, Moko. Is Mashiro a male?"

"……Yes."

His expression was so slack with pleasure that even I could tell he was thoroughly enjoying the feel of Chiyu's breasts.

I mean, despite being companions, I shouldn't be jealous of a phantom beast.

No, actually, I am a little bit jealous.

"Ah, right. Once we secure some meat, could I ask you to have Mashiro chop down the tree?"

"Sure! Mashiro can take care of that in a jiffy!"

"That's great. Then, maybe we can build a house for Mashiro too."

"Oh boy! A Fenrir Shack? That sounds nice!"

It sounded like a doghouse to me.

For now, I cut the conversation there and climbed onto Mashiro.

Mashiro bent down to help us up, so Maki and I got ahead first, pulling Chiyu and Shiine onto his back.

With three beautiful girls straddling him, Mashiro let out a happy little sound.

"U-Um... I thought about this yesterday too, but riding on Mashiro-kun feels unsafe in a skirt."

Shiine adjusted her position, holding down the fabric of her skirt to make sure it stayed tucked under her buttocks.

It crossed my mind that Chiyu used to do the same thing when riding a bicycle or sitting on a train seat.

If you neglected to do that, your panties would touch the seat directly, which could lead to disaster if they got caught in the wind.

"I can't say it's the right gear for walking through a forest, either."

I lightly agreed with him.

So Senju said.

"But if I stop wearing a skirt, Sō-kun's morale will drop."

"Who said that?"

Well, sure, I do like it, but...

"Shouko-chan is on duty for starting the fire today. That should complete Sō-kun's panty encyclopedia, right?"

"I'm not making any such thing."

I don't even recall that Chiyu wore white and Shiine wore a slightly sexy black.

"...W-Well, I've been taking a lot of care from Sōsuke, so that's fine... it's okay..."

Even though there was no encyclopedia being made, hearing her say that with such coyness left me feeling a bit antsy.

"Anyway, let's just get you on your way."

By the way, everything other than the stone walls and fences is stored in my [Inventory].

I didn't want to deal with the hassle of coming back to find them destroyed by beasts or taken over by another transmigrator.

"Oh, okay-ay. Then Mashiro, go hunt some meat. We're seriously starving for meat right about now."

"Ah, preferably something from the boar family."

In isekai stories, you often see giant boars, horned boars, or boars with absurdly sharp tusks, but with Mashiro around, he'd probably be able to handle them.

He stood up, and his eye level shot up all at once.

"Woah!"

I instinctively grabbed Chie in front of me for support, but I accidentally clutched not her waist—her chest.

The soft, yielding texture of her massive breasts shifted under my hand.

"Mmph... So-kun, it's a bit much to be on top of Mashiro like that..."

"No, that's not—" I hurriedly moved my arm down to her waist.

"Sorry, I slipped!"

Looking at her, I saw Chie's ears had turned red.

"I'm sorry, Chie. It wasn't on purpose."

"I know. Wh-whispering in my ear is... prohibited."

My childhood friend shuddered violently.

For no apparent reason, I wanted to check Chiayu's face, but that was impossible given our current positions.

As we waited, Mashiro let out a soft snort, shifted his body, and nimbly hopped over the stone wall to begin moving.

He seemed to be making an effort to accommodate us, and the ride was much smoother than I had anticipated.

Fenrir kept running straight through the forest.

"Amazing..."

I couldn't help but gasp at the sheer speed at which the scenery blurred past. "Right?! Told you!"

Hearing Mashiro praised, Yotsubo seemed pleased as well.

After a while, Mashiro's pace gradually slowed.

"Looks like we're close."

"Got it."

I prepared to deploy my weapons at a moment's notice.

I was relying on Mashiro for the basics, but if things went south, just having a spear ready or swinging an axe would make a significant difference.

Besides, from all the isekai comics I'd read before, I knew of a few techniques that might be useful in combat.

Under certain circumstances, I might even be able to use them right here.

Eventually, we found the prey that Mashiro had likely spotted.

It was a boar.

Two key points stood out.

The first is that it looks no different from the kind you'd see on Earth.

I mean, a typical high schooler rarely gets the chance to see a wild boar in person, but at least there were no overtly otherworldly features visible at first glance.

The second was this—someone else was being chased by the boar.

"Haa... haa... C'mon, I've got you now..."

She was a girl with a stern face, her long black hair tied up in a ponytail.

Running away from the boar, she twisted just her head to look back, aiming a branch-like object at it.

"Hit it..."

The next moment—a shower of pebbles burst from the tip of the staff and fired off with considerable force. —Magic!

Was that an attack spell!?

Since Senryu had acquired the 'Healing Magic,' it wasn't out of the question for someone to possess 'Attack Magic.'

But perhaps her aim was loose, as only one or two pebbles actually struck the boar.

It was far from enough to take it down; if anything, it just irritated the enemy.

The overall scale of the magic seemed small, but maybe it was a beginner-level attack spell, similar to 'Beginner Healing.' "Sousuke! What are we doing!?"

Despite her panic, Momeo still looked to me for judgment.

"We don't have time to stop! Mashiro, can you handle it from here?"

In response to my immediate answer, Momeo nodded with delight, Shiomi with a serious expression, and Chiyu with her usual blank stare.

"That's what I like to see! Mashiro, charge!"

Accelerating while carrying us on board, Mashiro raced to rescue the girl.

Thanks to you all, we were able to maintain #1 in daily rankings today!!!!!!

Moreover, the points earned are the highest ever recorded...

How grateful I am...!!!!!!

I wanted to update with another chapter today, but it might slip to tomorrow.

For now, I'll do my best tomorrow too. I hope you'll continue supporting me.

The second wisdom-themed scene is scheduled to appear in the first half of next week.

Multiple updates today, this is the fourth one.

We're going to ride on Masiro the Fenrir and search for meat. I look at Masiro again.

Standing up, she's taller than the hut we're currently using as our base.

If she were to appear as an enemy monster, she wouldn't be something we'd fight in the early stages.

We'd probably get torn to pieces. It's good to have her on our side. "Masiro, please take care of us." I call out to her.

Masiro looks at me with her blue eyes and then licks my face.

After that, she comes close to me like a dog that's been tamed. "Haha. Good boy."

Her fur is fluffy and amazing, but it did smell a bit when she licked me.

"Oh. Masiro, what's wrong? You're really attached to Sohaku, aren't you?"

"Haha, I think she's probably thanking him for making her master happy."

In response to Shion's words, Masiro barks, and Mako blushes and turns red.

"No, no, I'm always happy, you know?"

Has she already forgotten about hugging me and crying when we met again?

Shouko pouts, saying, "What's wrong?" when she receives our warm gazes. "I want to hug too."

When Chiyu boldly hugs her, Mashiro lets out a pleasant-sounding voice.

Seeing her face, I ask Shouko.

"Hey, Shouko, is Mashiro a male?" "Yeah."

Her face is so relaxed that even I can tell she's enjoying the feeling of Chiyu's breasts.

Well, even though Mashiro is a comrade, I shouldn't be jealous of a phantasm. No, I am a little.

"Oh, right. If we get some meat, can we ask Mashiro to cut down a tree for us?"

"Sure! Mashiro can do it in a jiffy!"

"That's great. Then maybe we can build Mashiro's house too."

"Yay! A Fenrir hut!? That sounds good!"

Let's end the conversation there and get on Mashiro.

Since she bent down to be considerate, Shouko and I went up first, pulling Chiyo and Shion up respectively.

Mashiro made a happy sound as he carried three cute girls' butts.

“U-uh. I thought this yesterday, but when I’m straddled by Mashiro-kun, skirts make me feel insecure.”

Shion was adjusting her skirt so that it would cover her butt.

By the way, Chiyo did the same thing when riding a bike or sitting on a train seat, I recalled.

If you didn’t do this, your underwear would touch the seat directly, or get blown up by the wind, which would be very bad.

「I don't think this equipment is suitable for walking through the forest either.」 I lightly agree with her, but then Senyuu speaks up.

「But if you stop wearing the skirt, Sou-kun's morale will drop.」 「Why's that?」 I mean, I do like it.

「Today's fire starter is Shouko-chan. This way, Sou-kun's panty encyclopedia will be complete, right?」 「I didn't make any such encyclopedia.」

I don't remember Shouko wearing white and Shiho wearing a slightly sexy black.

「...Well, I mean, I've been really relying on Sou-kun, so it's fine if you say that...」

Even though I haven't made an encyclopedia, I feel flustered when she says that.

「Well, let's get going for now.」

By the way, everything except the stone walls and fence is stored in the 'Inventory.'

That way, we don't have to deal with the hassle of coming back to find the place overrun by animals or taken over by other transferers.

「O-Okay. So, Mashiro, go find us some meat. We're getting pretty hungry for some real meat now.」 「Oh, if possible, let's go for boar.」

In other worlds, there are giant boars, boars with horns, and boars with abnormally sharp tusks, but with Mashiro around, we should be able to handle them.

He stood up, and suddenly my line of sight rose. 「Whoa.」

I instinctively grabbed the girl in front of me, but I accidentally grabbed her chest instead of her waist.

Her huge breasts squished and molded against my hand.

「Nn... Mashiro, it's a bit much to do that on top of me...」

「No, wait. I'm sorry, I made a mistake!」 I quickly moved my hand to her waist.

Looking at her, her ears were red.

「I'm sorry, Senyuu. I didn't mean to.」

"I get it. You're not allowed to whisper in my ear." My childhood friend shuddered.

I desperately wanted to see Chiyu's face, but it was impossible in this position.

As I was thinking this, Mashiro snorted and turned her body, jumping over the stone wall to start moving.

It seemed he was being considerate, and the ride was much better than I had imagined.

Fenrir continued to race through the forest. "Amazing...!"

The speed of the scenery rushing past made me involuntarily groan. "See? See?!"

Mashiro's praise made Shokushi seem happy.

After a while, Mashiro's speed gradually slowed down. "It's almost time." "Got it."

I prepared to set up my weapons at any time.

I basically left it to Mashiro, but in the worst-case scenario, just holding a spear or swinging an axe would make a big difference.

Moreover, with the knowledge I had gained from reading other-worldly comics, I had a few things that could be useful in combat.

Depending on the situation, they might be useful here.

Soon, we found the prey that Mashiro must have discovered. A wild boar. There were two important points.

One is that it doesn't seem to be any different from what you'd see on Earth.

Well, a normal high school student wouldn't have the chance to see a wild boar, but at least there's nothing unusual about it.

The other is that someone else is being chased by the boar.

"Ha... ha... kuh, now this time...!"

It's a girl with a ponytail of long black hair and a stern expression.

She's running away from the boar, turning her head with just her neck, and pointing a stick-like object at it. "Hit it...!"

The next moment--a bunch of pebbles appeared from the tip of the stick and were launched with great force. --Magic! An attack spell?!

Since Sen'yuu got a 'healing spell,' it wouldn't be strange for someone to have an 'attack spell.'

But her aim was off, and only one or two hit the boar.

It was far from enough to defeat it, and only angered the enemy.

The magic itself seems small in scale, but it might be a beginner-level attack spell like 'Basic Healing.' "Sousuke! What are you going to do?!"

While flustered, Shouji asks me for a decision.

"There's no time to waste! Mashiro, can we go like this?"

Shouji looks delighted, Shion serious, and Senyuu with her usual blank expression as they nod at my immediate response.

"That's the way to go! Mashiro, charge!"

Mashiro accelerates, still carrying us, to help the girl.

Thanks to everyone, I managed to maintain the number one spot for today!!!!

Moreover, the number of points gained is the highest ever... It's a blessing...!!!!

I'd like to update another chapter today, but it might be tomorrow.

I'll do my best for tomorrow as well, so please bear with me.

Next week, the second wise scene is scheduled to arrive.
