What if I jump and die?

“Ugh… .”

I hate to even imagine it.

I hate it, but… if things continue like this, everyone will end up pregnant.

That’s… I don’t like that.

“Eight… !”

I don’t know.

Even if I die here, everyone will remember me.

Hello everyone!

It was fun being together…

“Kkiyaaak!”

scared!

The feeling of my body falling towards the floor is so scary.

I closed my eyes tightly, and… .

And… Huh?

When I came to, I was already on the ground.

It was a success.

I used the shield to skip death once.

“Ugh… .”

Really… it’s a feeling I never want to feel again.

I took a deep breath and calmed my pounding heart for a moment.

“Hoo… haa… hoo… haa… .”

After taking a few deep breaths, I feel a little calmer.

“I’ll be there soon.”

Yeah, now it’s time to save them.

I roughly estimated where I had heard the voice and climbed the nearby trees one by one.

Of course, I didn’t climb up with my bare hands, but rather I climbed up easily using the strength of the vines.

“Karin, Karin. Wake up.”

“Ugh… Asia? Huh, huh?”

“Let’s escape quickly.”

After we all came down, from Karin to Lisa and Serena, we finally became a party again.

“Thank you so much, Asia. I almost laid a monster egg.”

“I, it was really thrilling… no, it was a thrilling experience.”

They all needed a moment to calm down, so we sat down on the floor and rested for a while.

“Um… .”

Erosion has decreased somewhat.

It seems like this erosion rate decreases by 10 every time I receive a blessing.

The first time it decreased was when I received the protection of the goddess of love, and the next time was when I received it from the god of the underworld.

And just now, using the guardian, it went down by 5 again.

What is the connection between this erosion and the protection?

I still don’t know exactly what erosion means, so I can’t say for sure, but it seems like Gaho isn’t always a good thing.

I guess I’ll have to be a little more careful from now on. For now, there’s no need to touch something I don’t know much about.

Rather, I feel like my stats are too poor for my level.

The only thing that looks okay is the charm stat, but the rest is truly miserable.

In games like this, shouldn’t your stamina be in the four digits by level 30?

They say there are big differences between games, but somehow this doesn’t seem normal… .

“Um… .”

At least it doesn’t seem like progress is blocked, so it doesn’t seem like it’s completely wrong… .

I don’t know.

For now, there is no way, so we have no choice but to leave it alone.

“Shall we leave soon?”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s get down from the mountain quickly.”

So we quickly retreated from the mountain.

Goodbye, you damn mountain girl I’ll never see again!

***

“Whew… Anyway, it’ll take a while to get back.”

“I guess there’s nothing I can do. It’s better than waiting for the estrus period to end, right?”

Realizing that it would be difficult to get through the excited monsters in heat, we eventually decided to go back up the mountain.

There’s a city on the way, so let’s stop there first and stock up on supplies.

“Do you know anything about that town, Lisa?”

“I don’t know…but does Serena know anything?”

Serena pondered her question for a moment before answering.

“By the way, there is a famous specialty product.”

“Oh, what is it?”

Serena answered with a laugh as if it was fun.

“Doll.”

“Doll?”

According to her, there is a very famous doll craftsman in that city.

Serena said that it was a city where people from various fields, including carpenters, painters, and his disciples, gathered around him.

“I’ve seen it once too, and it was really pretty and cute. Some of my sisters also collected it diligently.”

“Doll… .”

The only dolls that are related to me are figures, but do you have any figures?

No, but rather… if you do it well, couldn’t you also custom-make their figures?

Suddenly I started getting excited.

“Ho, hoho, by any chance… Do you also accept custom orders?”

“I’ll get it, but it’ll take a while. He’s so busy… Or you can leave it to his disciples. Usually, that’s how many people ask for it.”

“Ohhh… .”

As expected, a craftsman can’t easily hand over a task to just anyone, and if he wants to have the finished product quickly, even if it’s a little behind, he’ll probably ask his disciples to do it for him.

It doesn’t seem bad.

If I make it, I should ask my disciples too.

Surely there won’t be a model event like this again this time?

But if you make a figure in return, I think I’d consider it at least once.

With such useless thoughts in our minds, we headed to a town called Puppet.

Puppet… No matter how you look at it, it’s a really hastily made name.

***

“Welcome to Puppet!”

Wow, I think this is the first time I’ve heard such a line from a town entrance NPC.

The city’s guards were dressed in elaborate attire, much like the British guards.

The way he says things like that, he seems more like someone in the tourism industry than a soldier.

I guess this place feels like some kind of tourist city.

“Wow… .”

“It’s so gorgeous.”

As expected from the moment I saw the guards at the entrance to the city, the entire city was a splendid and beautiful place.

It’s like some European city that’s been decorated so cutely.

The houses decorated with natural colors and the cute interior decorations scattered throughout the streets caught my eye.

“It’s cuter than I thought… .”

“Pretty… .”

It seemed like they too were quite interested in such cute things.

Of course, I’m also very interested in it… but somehow, this makes me feel like a girl.

I shouldn’t pay too much attention to those things, even if it means maintaining my identity!

“Wow, it’s a panda!”

“Pay, Panda?”

There’s a panda in a place like this?

I wondered why there was a panda in a European-style city, but there was a really cute panda doll in a store window.

“Whoa… .”

“Haha, Asia likes it too.”

“Huh? Oh, no!”

Oops, calm down!

“Should we look for an inn first?”

“Yes!”

It looks like I’ll be able to have quite a good time.

It was hard to find an inn because the buildings were so fancy, but at least it was worth the effort.

“Welcome to the Dollhouse Inn!”

In keeping with the dollhouse concept, the inn was filled with aristocratic interiors.

“Huh, hmm… Please give me a room for 4 people.”

“Here you go! Have a nice time, princesses!”

“Go, princess… .”

This is a little embarrassing… .

I felt my face turn slightly red as I took the room key.

I think the concept is something like a princess doll or something like that.

“Whew… It’s a little embarrassing here. It’s fun though.”

“That, that’s right. A princess… .”

“Princess… .”

Karin muttered in a somewhat hazy voice.

What? Surely it’s not like Karin was a princess from an elf kingdom or something like that?

“So what’s our schedule like?”

“Um… .”

Yes, first of all, let’s think about the future schedule before that.

“Let’s rest for a few days. I’m sure you’re all very tired.”

Even if they didn’t say anything, everyone would have accumulated a lot of stress without realizing it as they escaped the threat of spawning.

We decided to do some sightseeing and enjoy ourselves here before leaving.

“Our goal is to relax! Let’s have fun!”

Yeah, we need a break!

And so began a delightful holiday at the tourist attraction Puppet.

Don’t worry about anything else right now and just have fun!

***

“Ohhh… .”

Look at these elaborate figurines… no, dolls.

Small dolls, about 15 cm tall, were on display, wearing colorful clothes.

No, but isn’t this a real figure?

“Haha, those are a bit more expensive. If you’re looking for something in a reasonable price range, there are some here too.”

What’s with that tone, as if to say I don’t have any money?

“I have money?”

“Um… Well, those dolls were basically made for nobles or wealthy merchants, so they were quite expensive.”

“How much is it?”

Hey, are you making fun of Asia’s wealth?

That’s funny!

“From 100,000 gold… .”

“Where can I find the cheap ones?”

Oh, it’s for the nobility.

I took my eyes off those gorgeous dolls without a second thought.

Somehow it was so well made.

The cheaper dolls definitely looked a bit lower quality than the ones I had seen before.

It was well made, but I feel a bit disappointed because I’ve seen better things.

“Do you also accept custom orders here?”

“Yes! I, Karl, the twenty-second disciple of Master Adele, will make it with the best quality in the name of the Master!”

That person named Adele was none other than the city’s famous doll maker, Adele.

And most of the people who opened stores here were his disciples.

“There are quite a few disciples.”

“There will be about thirty people.”

No, twenty-second out of thirty isn’t that high, right?

“Of course, my skill is number one…! No, two… um… no, three, right? Five?”

“… I’ll look elsewhere.”

I think that ability comes second, but conscience comes first.

He couldn’t bring himself to say “number one” and looked at me with a sad face.

“Really…?”

“Ugh… .”

I’m a man, so don’t look at me like that…

I’m a little excited.

Huh? What was I just thinking?

I think it tastes a little off.

Come to your senses!

“I’ll go and look around other places too.”

“Yes… .”

He answered with a slightly drooping face, perhaps sensing that he had already been rejected.

Ugh… .

“Ahem… Well, then at least give me a quote… .”

“Oh, then sit here!”

I glanced over and saw him smiling happily as he sat me down at the table in front of me.

Oh, yeah.

Let’s at least listen to the story.

I don’t think I can survive, but… .
