Chapter 20: It seems that they are selling a fight.

“Ah, my healing…”

“You didn’t mean to end it!”

"...I-I don't want to do that."

　Hmph, he replied with a snort.

　fluffy pets charging is important. No one can argue with that.

We are currently moving south through the Abyssal Forest

　On the way, I was carried on the back of son-chan, Hakuyo. Yay! I am so happy!*

　I thought it would be a good idea since I’ll have to get used to riding him. He is running as fast as he can, as if he is trying to shake me off.

　I am struggling to get used to riding, but I won’t let this long-awaited opportunity to ride a horse go to waste.

“Wait, aren’t you going a little too fast?”

"You’re going to get uprooted over something like this? I’m still at about 30% of my speed, you know?"

　Oh, I see. No, I’m not complaining or anything, but, just about every so often, a branch will come right in front of me. I'd avoid it, though. Is this by any chance on purpose? Is it on purpose?

　I called him Hakuyo-kun earlier, but I usually call him “Shiro-chan.'' I guess he’s still holding a grudge against me for what I said.

　He was looking at me with very unhappy eyes.

　I couldn’t help it. His mother, Fenrir, told me to hide his name in general. She had been persistent in warning me to be careful because he could be conjured or controlled if his name was known.

　Mother Fenrir also had a name. She told me one night. She said it was given to her a long time ago.

“I was given my name by the “Otherworldly Man”. ───── Shirayuki.”

　That’s totally Japanese, “Shirayuki!” When I said that, her eyes widened and she smiled with great joy.

　That’s why I  also used the character for “white” for son-chan. him(?) It’s a secret from him though!

"─────Ah! I saw matsutake mushrooms! I'll secure them!!"

"Ugh! What’s good about mushrooms?."

"I’ll take them "

　Pressure rises behind Rio. Thus began the second Matsutake mushroom hunt.

　It was a simple job, Hakuyo runs and I scoop them up crisply from above, making full use of “Search.*

“I’ll get more…!”

“You're still going to pick!"

　─────The matsutake mushroom picking was not over.

“What the heck, we could have moved more.”

　Dinner time around the campfire.

　Personally, I thought we had traveled quite a bit, but my companion, Fenrir-kun, or Hakuyo, seemed very dissatisfied. ──────He said we could have gone further. He’s surprisingly more impatient than I thought, huh?

"It's okay, there's no need to rush. See~ the meat turned out nice!"

　I’m in a happy mood as I have a large amount of matsutake mushrooms in my item box.

　Shiro-kun, on the other hand, looks dissatisfied, but he is still huffing and puffing over the meat. Taste it more.

“───── Ack.”

“It’s because you eat in a hurry. Do you want some water?”

"────No! Something feels strange. My head is spinning."

　Saying this, he collapsed.

“Shiro-kun !!! !”

"urgent. I recommend a barrier.''

　The red screen of the “navigation system” suddenly appeared, and without hesitation, I set up a barrier around us.

　After setting up the wards, Hakuyo soon opened his eyes and got up. he shakes his jiggly body and seems to be shaking off the feeling of discomfort.

"are you okay now?"

Looks all right to me. What was that?”

“I have no idea. Navi, do you know what it was?”

　In answer to the call, the screen changes from red to normal translucent.

“Artificial use of "evil fragrance" to control magical beast creatures. It is difficult to handle, but can be used by anyone of reasonable ability. Most magical beasts can be brainwashed.”

───── Brainwashing, Shiro-kun!?

“Because you gave Shiro-kun a name, he stands out from all the other magical beasts around here, so he only suffered minor injuries.''

　Now, let’s give peach-chan to Shiro-kun. Don’t forget the magic.

　───── alright, let’s get a grip on this.
