Chapter 128 Mushroom Pile

That little clump of mushrooms looked a bit bigger than yesterday. If Klein remembered correctly, mushrooms grow very quickly; a rain shower and a night's rest can produce a lot of mushrooms.

"Among these mushrooms, there might be some mature walking mushrooms."

"Indeed, Yanami wants to take them off?"

Hyacinth observed the mushrooms on the ground and nodded.

"I really want to try it and see what it tastes like. The previous one was already damaged in battle, so I can't let these go to waste."

"It seems like the ones that can already walk taste even better. Let's catch them carefully."

"I...I'd like to try it too."

"Then let's catch them. You two quietly go to the other side and wait for them to come to you, while I'll try to catch them."

"it is good."

Hyacinth and Daisy both nodded, then tiptoed to the other side of the passage, while Yanami and Shadow Wolf guarded the direction they had come from.

Yanami walked to the mushroom patch and suddenly grabbed at the largest mushroom inside.

Pfft!

It had already jumped up before being caught, but Yanami was prepared and grabbed the walking mushroom that was trying to escape with her bare hand.

*Pfft...* But just as Yanami caught the mushroom, another burst of red spores sprayed out, covering Yanami's face.

Meanwhile, the Walking Mushroom writhed wildly in Yanami's hands, trying to break free of her control. Yanami almost let go, but immediately a vine emerged from Yanami's pocket and bound the Walking Mushroom.

Plop, plop, plop...

Unexpectedly, after Yanami caused quite a commotion, three more walking mushrooms jumped out of the mushroom bushes and started running towards the hyacinth and daisy.

"Awoo."

Klein maneuvered the Shadow Wolves to pounce on one, while the other two continued forward, only to be met with the menacing Hyacinth and Daisy.

When the walking mushrooms ran up to them, the hyacinths and daisies pounced on them.

"Gotcha! Whoa! Cough cough."

"Me too, I got it too! Ah, it's so slippery!"

Although Hyacinth held onto Walking Mushroom tightly, she was also sprayed with spores, and Walking Mushroom was pinned down by her body and unable to move.

Daisy had grabbed the mushroom cap with her hand, but her palm was hit by the sprayed spores. The fine spores covered her hand, causing her to slip from her grasp as the walking mushroom darted deeper into the tunnel.

"Rock pillar!"

Pfft!

Seeing that things were not going well, Daisy immediately flashed her hands with light and slapped the ground. A rock immediately slanted up from the ground not far away, protruding towards Daisy.

The walking mushroom had barely run a little way when it was suddenly blocked by a protruding rock. The walking mushroom, propelled into the air, drew a red arc of spores and flew towards the hyacinth.

"hyacinth!"

"I know!"

Hyacinth reacted quickly, holding the Walkish-shroom she had just caught in her left hand, and with a step forward of her right foot, she leaped up and caught the Walkish-shroom that had been knocked away in mid-air.

Hyacinth, with its arms flanking two walking mushrooms, is positioned on the left and right.

"Gotcha...cough cough...sneeze!"

Just as the hyacinth was showing a smug expression, it suddenly sneezed.

"I ingested spores, how disgusting."

Sniffing, Hyacinth looked at the two walking mushrooms in her arms and felt a strange sense of nausea.

"Wow... I don't feel like touching them."

"Ah, don't let go! Their spores are poisonous. They'll make you feel disgusted and then you'll let them go."

"Oh, it has this feature too?"

"I... I don't feel cute anymore."

"Let me tie them up."

Yanami led the Shadow Wolf to the Hyacinth, and then used Klein's vines to tie up the two Walking Mushrooms, so they now had four Walking Mushrooms.

"Looks like I can go back and have a nice meal... although I don't feel like I have any appetite for them right now."

"What about the rest?"

Hyacinth wiped the paint-like red spores from her face with a handkerchief, while looking at the immature walking mushrooms on the ground.

"Four should be enough; too many won't keep well."

"That's fine then. They'll probably be running around everywhere soon too."

"We'll be there soon. Let's have lunch first, how about we use these mushrooms?"

"...if I have an appetite then."

Hyacinth looked at the walking mushrooms still wriggling on the vine with some disdain, seemingly unable to imagine herself treating them as food. It seemed that the spores were quite effective.

The three continued their journey without any further setbacks, and finally arrived at the plantation more than an hour after noon.

"Ah... I'm finally back."

"This is our third time here. Wow, there are so many more plants now, it's all green everywhere."

"Yes, plants are great after all."

"Being able to control plants... honestly, it's so useful, it feels like I have a lot more arms."

"Hmph, you're really amazing."

Although the ability to manipulate plants belonged to Klein, Yanami was still very proud, after all, it was Klein.

After tying both rock rats to the wall, the three of them went into the plantation together.

"You must be tired too. Why don't you take a rest?"

("Klein, could you make some chairs with your vines? I'd like everyone to rest a bit.")

("no problem.")

After receiving Klein's permission, Yanami smiled and led the hyacinths and daisies to the edge of the pond.

"Please have a seat for a while."

Hyacinth tilted her head, a little puzzled, upon hearing Yanami's nonsensical words.

"Sit...on the ground?"

"No, please look carefully."

With a sly smile, Yanami then dramatically waved her arms at the vines in front of her, like a conductor in an orchestra. Klein followed her movements, manipulating his own vines in unison.

The vines started moving on their own, then they gathered together and wove together... After a series of movements, the vines turned into three chairs and a table.

The tables and chairs are woven in the style of the rat tribe's tables and chairs... My skills are limited, I don't know if they look similar.

"It's turned into a chair! And it looks like the tables and chairs we have back home, doesn't it?"

"Hmph, yeah."

Yanami touched her nose. Although she was just pretending and hadn't done anything, she still felt smug.

However, although the tables and chairs were formed, the vines were still too soft. Klein made the vines that had become tables and chairs woody, and they finally looked like real tables and chairs. Finally, he covered them with the hide of a stag, and they became tables and chairs with a unique style.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Were those little houses also transformed in this way?"

Hyacinth looked at the room Klein had prepared for Yanami to rest in and asked curiously.

"Wow, isn't that amazing?"

"Well, it really is a convenient ability."

"Please rest here for a while, I'll make you some tea."

"Okay, sure."

Hyacinths and daisies sat on the newly made chairs and couldn't resist playing with them out of curiosity.

Yanami went to the Rockcutter's carriage, retrieved the tea leaves, teapot, and teacups she had bought at the rat tribe's stronghold, and began to brew tea for the two of them.
