Near the Serai Family's House

Recap of the previous events. What Nina-san had run over was a mountain goblin.

Well, even if it had been a sea goblin or a river goblin, it wouldn’t have mattered. Monsters known as anomalous creatures that emerge from anomalous dungeons are designated as harmful beasts and must be exterminated. So, no matter how many you kill, you won’t be charged with a crime here in Japan. Hence, no problem.

Anyway, after confirming the mountain goblin, I proceeded to inspect the damaged car.

"Honma… Honma, I’m really sorry, Kocchi."

"It’s fine, Nina-san. I’m not angry at all, so don’t worry about it."

Nina-san, who had damaged the car, seemed deeply concerned about it.

But I wouldn’t get angry over a few scratches on the car. That’s why I bought an affordable used car in the first place. Well, if someone had carelessly damaged my beloved motorcycle, I’d be furious, but this was an accident. So, I’m not angry.

"Ah~, it’s pretty dented here."

Upon inspecting the front of the car, I could clearly see the dent from the collision with the mountain goblin.

It wasn’t a full face imprint, but the unmistakable dent from the goblin’s head and shoulders hitting the front was clearly visible.

But still.

"Hmm. Well, this much is nothing. That is, if you have the skill [Mucus]. And now, the mucus begins to stick, The Mucus!"

I produced a highly viscous mucus and applied it to the dent on the front of the car.

"Now, Serai-san. Grab this mucus and pull it slowly."

"Huh, me? Sure, but what’s this going to do…?"

As Serai-san slowly pulled the mucus attached to the car, the dent gradually returned to its original shape with a boko and kabekon sound.

"Wow, amazing! It’s back to normal in no time!!"

Hehehe, impressive, right? This is the power of mucus.

Normally, to fix a car dent, you’d have to strip the paint, weld a metal rod, and pull the dent out to repair it. It’s a tedious and time-consuming process. But with the adhesive power of the [Mucus] skill, you can pull out the dent without even stripping the paint.

That’s why, like this, the car dent can be fixed so easily.

"See? Easy to fix, right? So, Nina-san, you don’t need to worry so much."

"Kocchi… Really, thank you so much…"

As she said this, Nina-san looked so grateful that tears welled up in her eyes.

Huh? Did she have some terrible experience with car repairs before…? Well, anyway, it seems like Nina-san’s favorability towards me has skyrocketed, so all’s well.

"There, there, Shizuka. Yeah, yeah, good girl."

"Uun, Kocchi… Thank you, thank you so much…"

Even in broad daylight, and right in front of Serai-san, Nina-san leaned in and hugged me.

This kind of behavior is something she’d never normally show. Hmm, this is quite a rare case. But since it’s a perk, I’ll gladly accept the hug…

……

After that, I took over the driving, and with Serai-san’s navigation, we passed through the Kusatsu hot spring town.

I’ve visited Kusatsu several times on solo trips, but the smell of sulfur from the hot springs always stirs up a sense of wanderlust.

"Hehe, Gekko-san, do you want to take a dip in the hot springs? You’ve been sniffing the air for a while now."

"Oh, really? Hmm, maybe it’s because I love hot springs."

Honestly, as someone who doesn’t know much about luxury, I can’t think of anything more spiritually satisfying than hot springs. Of course, now that I have precious time with the girls, that’s an exception.

Back when I was alone, compared to the emptiness I felt after playing galge or eroge, hot springs were a wholesome and ultimate luxury that healed both body and soul.

"You can soak as much as you like once we settle down. Oh, turn left there."

"Got it. Hmm, but this road doesn’t seem like it’s been used much lately…"

After driving for a while, although the road was paved, there were branches and dead leaves piled up, almost like fallen trees. If I were on a motorcycle, I’d probably slip on the leaves and fall.

"It seems like a lot of people have evacuated, so this road hasn’t been used for a while. But we’re almost there… Oh, look, you can see it. Wait, what’s that!?"

As we passed through the forest road and entered an open basin.

There, in a muddy field, I saw a tractor chasing down and running over a fleeing goblin from behind.
