Chapter 146: How They’ve Grown
Her motherly care healed my heart while her ballistic breasts disintegrated my reason. Mei-chan made me experience ups and downs in ways more than one, but I was calm now. Id gone and relieved myself.
Wed hung up the laundry on a rope of blackhair so the both of us were still in gym clothes, that is, Mei-chan was still in her risque fashion of massively revealing cleavage. So she was now covered up with a blanket. I know Im in sage mode, but my instincts can only stand so much boobies. I was weak to breasts as is, so more of the same situation would only make my reason crumble like a house of cards.
For the above reasons, tis quite unfortunate, but for the sake of world peace, Mei-chans chest had been hidden away. Aah, couldnt I have that bliss for just a little longer Maybe I can expect more in the future
By the way, you hungry?
Mm
I dont think Ive ever heard her say no to that question.
Well, the dungeon wasnt exactly mountains of food. Fairy walnuts might provide our daily nutrients, but theyre never enough to be full. Everyone was hungry most of the time. But please understand, Im by no means implying that Mei-chan is a glutton.
I, still have a few things, lets cook something up
Really!?
Would I lie to you? Mei-chan and I go way back, right? Rather than cooking for guys, itd be much more satisfying to serve food to her.
But honestly, we really had used up most of the boar meat in the last supper before vs Reina, so I had just around one serving remaining. Other than meat, I had the herbs that worked surprisingly well as accents, and some bananatatoes, and I guess a bit of edible wild grass and mushrooms.
For today, lets go with my specialty, the wild boar stew.
AH, is, is that really, bacon!?
When I took out the last piece of wild boar bacon, Mei-chan latched on to it. Not literally of course.
Thats right
Wow, you even have it preserved Didnt that take a long time?
Nope, I can do it instantly with curse magic
Oh right, I got Witchs Cauldron after Id gotten separated from Mei-chan, so she obviously wouldnt know. I used this power quite frequently for lifestyle purposes, so lets get the show started.
just watch, Witchs Cauldron
I quickly dug a pot hole beside the fountain, and invoked the magic. Witchs Cauldron manifested in that stew pot sized burrow.
Its got quite a bit of power actually, water boils pretty much instantly inside
EHH, what-is-THIS?? Its heating up without any fire! Induction type?
Probably not that. I was thinking it just heats up with some kind of magic. Even though its my own curse, I didnt really know the logic behind it. Its kind of, yeah.
My cauldron doesnt just heat, it can also cool, and even make things dry. So just throw in raw meat, and you get instant jerky
Wowow, aweshumm
Mei-chan was getting awe-inspired to crazy levels.
However, as a member of the cooking club, her interest in the subject was high to begin with. Witchs Cauldron was practically the ultimate cookware by which you could create countless cuisines. Unlike me, who was ok just having something to eat, she must be completely ecstatic.
Also, it can stir on auto, mix like a mixer, and lots more
Awesome! Its so cool, Kotarou-kun!
Uhm, wanna try it later?
Do I! With this, I can make lots of things!
Her eyes were sparkling. To be so happy with a Witchs Cauldron, guess this is where my shaman luck went. Actually, this is the sort of power that shouldve been bestowed on Mei-chan, not me.
Putting down the hot stew, we spoke. About all the things that happened since the separation.
I kinda feel like I spilled the point form when I was crying on her, but now that I was calmly going over the events Mei-chan started crying as she listened to all my hardships. Cmon, if you cry so emotionally, I feel like crying too.
But if I were to see Mei-chans exposed chest again, my libido was sure to bury every other emotion. Raw tiddies in there after all.
Anyway, enough about me. I just got a few new curses, didnt get much stronger anyway. Rem was dead again for example
I was very curious about what Mei-chan had been doing.
With how she instantly stood by my side and pointed her blade to Souma Yuuto, I could rest assured that no NTR had happened. In the event that she happened to be smitten for his heroic charms already, I wouldve met my DEAD END being cut down right there.
As for me I guess, it went well
I wouldve been mad jelly of them if Mei-chan wasnt speaking of her experience with the Souma Party in such a sickened tone.
In the time I spent with them, I realized this Ahh, no one, none of these people are one bit worried about Kotarou-kun
She said that with such a stoic tone, that I felt my spine freeze over. She was obviously expressing how much she cared for my safety, how kind she was, but it was like, there was a boundless grudge surrounding her words.
Technically, they did search for you, right? But, Im sure, none of them wanted to actually find you. No, they were hoping they wouldnt
Well, duh. Thinking from those girls perspective, theyd rather not meet me ever again.
After Id gotten left for dead, Mei-chan was absolutely furious with Asuna, but because of Souma Yuutos overwhelming might + Class Reps die hard attempt to calm her down, theyd somehow avoided an instant bloodbath.
Mei-chan knew that shed need their strength to go deeper into the dungeon in search of me. While from Souma Sakuras perspective, as long as they didnt find me, Mei-chan would be friendly. Actually, the bitch would have peace of mind if Id died somewhere.
Yeah, whatever. My approval rating among them was at minus already
Yes, they just didnt like you and could only spew pretty words. I, I had to try my best just to keep the anger inside And uh, I dont really remember much of what happened
Holy moly, Mei-chan was dead serious. You didnt have to get that angry No, from her point of view, Id been mercilessly left to die, while the group of criminals were moving on without so much as a hint of guilt. Yeah, Id get mad too.
Ah, but I didnt forget to memorize what skills everyone had
I see, thats good to know
Mm, since I wouldnt know when theyd become enemies, I paid careful attention to their power sets.
Looks like she was planning to betray from the outset. It was a nightmare situation for them, but a complete and utter joy for me.
The further we went, the dungeon bosses became stronger too
I listened as she recounted the Souma partys dungeon capturing in detail. I got the feeling that their bosses were clearly much stronger than anything Id come across.
The living armors in the palace zone, the gogma of pyramid castle, and the four armed gogma.
Id also beaten a gogma to exit the jungle zone, but to think there was one of those super strength monsters with double the arms. Id be dead meat against something like that. The only one other than the Souma Party who could manage would be, to my knowledge, Tendou-kun.
Really, good job on beating that
Its because our weapons were getting better along with the bosses. Plus, we could only beat the gogma boss thanks to you
Eh, me? I cant think of any way I couldve helped?
Well, I kind of used all of it the Reagent X
EHH!? ALL OF IT!?
I admit I had Mei-chan carry a hefty amount of it, but how did she end up using everything? Yeah I used antidote to adjust it, but it was still shoddy work. I hadnt determined a safe dosage either.
Are you really fine!?
Yep, Im really fine
Yeah, I didnt see anything wrong with her. Shes awake and focused, and her face didnt look wasted away either. In fact, it felt like shed actually gotten prettier. I couldnt detect a hint of addiction.
Still, please try not to do things that dangerous
Sorry
I was worried, yes, but Mei-chan was no idiot. It mustve been absolutely unavoidable in defeating the pyramid castle boss. It had served its purpose as an emergency counter-measure.
I should be happy it helped in overcoming a bad end scenario. For better or worse, Reagent X proved its usefulness. I should keep keeping some handy.
Thats how it went for me. My equipment became better, I learned some battle arts, and got a little stronger I suppose
Yeah, no, I listened to your adventures, so its no way just a little stronger.
Ah, also, theres that too, we can use phones now
you what now?
Im saying we can use our phones now
She repeated with a smile, me still no understand.
Kotarou-kun, lets exchange numbers
Under her refreshing smile, I ended up doing just that. Its been a big while since I turned this thing on. Id put it deep in a corner of my bag, but looks like the little guy still had some juice.
Huh. I seriously didnt want to consider it but, Mei-chan, did she actually think that as long as the phones had power, we could use them as walkie-talkies?
Im sorry, but phones you see, they arent actually connected via radio waves directly, but *Ring ring*!!
EHH!?
It was ringing. On the screen, I could see the callers name, that of the girl Id just now exchanged numbers with, Futaba Meiko.
Takanashi-sans sage magic, apparently she can use it to connect phones with calling and texting only
Oh, I see
Curses that Takanashi Kotori, to think she could even into phones. Sage magic is a damn cheat just like I thought. Actually, its her Upgrade skill thats the cheat. So shes been using the manastones, another common type of crystallized mana you read in fantasy, to delve into actual magic item manufacture.
At this rate, the gap in equipment quality between us and them would continue to widen. On the last face off, Mei-chan was strong enough to oppose them But what if they had something like a rope, net, something to cause paralysis, some kind of restraining weapon, a magic item. They wouldnt have had any qualms about disarming Mei-chan with it. Then, they could also use it on me, effectively rendering my Pain Return useless.
Hmm, looks like well need to come up with a way to procure good weapons and items on our end too, and soon. That gogma I fought had good weapons and even a magic stave. We could get our hands on some nice things from monsters like that.
Oh yeah, Kotarou-kun, I have a present for you
Eh! What is it, tell meee
What can I say, Im a sucker for surprises. Maybe its a sinister looking shamans staff she got from a loot box? Or wait, could it be her panties, like Randou-san gave me? Hmm, both those options are practical and useful indeed.
I was thinking stuff that would get me reported if said aloud, but I was excited. What I ended up getting were 2 shiny accessories.
The necklace is Drop of Life and the ring is called a Guard Ring. Theyre both really useful magic items for self-protection, so I was always thinking I want Kotarou-kun to have them
Guard Ring: A ring that enables you to use the battle art Guard.
Drop of Life: A single drop from the Waters of Life that can heal any wound. It has been crystallized into a small gem and mounted on a necklace.
Shed handed them over like giving someone a good luck charm for safe travels, but upon hearing their effects, I was without a doubt, speechless.
I c-cant believe my eyes These are amazing!
I couldnt believe that, after all this time, I finally got my hands on something for defense. As a weak shaman, I wanted a way to guarantee my safety as much as I wanted stronger attacks.
Youve done it now, Mei-chan. We can strategy a lot better with these!
Thank you! I feel like well have a much easier time with these handy!
Im glad you like them. Ah, do you want me to put the necklace on you?
Go right ahead. Im all for it if its a cute girl doing it.
I quickly agreed to her suggestion, which quickly led to hell.
Alright, stay still for a bit
As Mei-chan moved her arms around me as if coming into a hug, the blanket covering her loosened, and fell. This blanket, that had sealed the twin monsters for the sake of world peace.
And now, the twins were unleashed. Explosive titties in splendid no-bra jersey. And closing in fast!
These outrageous, live boobies were swinging in front of my eyes. If I directed my head only a mere 10 centimeters forward, my face would find itself buried in that divine valley. Because of their tremendous size, I could imagine my whole face would fit snugly into the white crevice.
I wanna do it, bury myself, motorboat No, I mustnt, control, control The smell, its so good Ahh, my Lord, Ruinhilde-sama, grant me salvation I cant, anymore
And, there we go
HaA!?
Id passed out just now. I was practically on heavens doorstep. That was bad news, I didnt want to find myself in the afterlife just yet.
THH, THANKYOU!
Should I put on the ring too?
AAA, SORRYY, I PUT IT ON ALREADYY!!
I could only yell like a buffoon, that was my only means of communication. My sanity had depleted below measurable levels. If she were to do that again, I wouldnt be surprised if I burst. Truly, YES Oppai NO Touch.
We have our equipment set, lets head back in
You dont want to rest up some more?
Theres still a chance theyve been following us, and I also want to make Rem again
Oh right, of course
Yeah, at this point, I think some dungeon diving is in order to avoid my personal constant near death experiences.
Mei-chan, shes the one person I can wholeheartedly trust. Yet, she was, to me, possibly the sexiest girl imaginable Id finally remembered how hard it was to be alone with her all the time.
No matter how hard I had it, I couldnt afford to lose her trust I, would embolden my heard, and once again set off on a dungeon adventure with Mei-chan.
Hey, Kotarou-kun. Actually, theres something I, have to, ask you about
Once Id firmed my resolve, Mei-chan called out to me.
Her look, concentrated in emotion, and her expression, extremely serious.
Oh, go ahead, what is it?
What in the world could this important question be? I straightened my posture to listen attentively.
Well, its about the laundry care to tell me, who, these panties belong to?
With a straight face, she presented a pair of leopard print panties.
Ah. RIP in peace.
