Chapter 27: An Awkward Beginning to a Hardcore Adventure

After the four of them had finished eating, Michael glanced at the naked Bloodworm-Goblin, then at the freckled cat-girl, whose robe was soaking wet and practically transparent. He sighed, and told them "We need to wear clothes, or I'm gonna end up having a permaboner."

Sarah immediately asked "What the fuck's a permaboner?" which caused him to start laughing hysterically. Inari went to sleep as soon as she scoffed down her pile of raw meat, but she wouldn't have made a meaningful impact into the conversation anyway.

However, Elina quickly replied "Probably a permanent erection..." while staring at his penis for a few seconds, and then saying "Shouldn't you go, take care of that?" Even after hearing that, the relatively blind girl, still had no idea what they were talking about.

Michael smirked, as he nonchalantly explained "Nah, I just masturbated less than an hour ago. Even if I jerked off over and over again, as long as I'm surrounded by beautiful naked-women, I'll be stuck in this condition. Sarah, I have your shitty gear, which is barely any better than garbage. Here, take it!" She wasn't even able to see the mana-less armor, as it appeared in the palm of his hand, and was promptly thrown at her chest.

The thin and crude leather only gave her a single point of Defense Rating, even though it was practically a full set of equipment: all that was missing, was the helmet. She shouted "Oh, ha-ha, throw things at the blind-girl! Real fucking funny!" He was still holding a slight grudge against her for murdering him, twice.

There were a decent amount of holes and patches on the armor, and Elina actually had to help her put it on. Most of it was just brown cloth, with the actual leather only covering her breasts, thighs, wrists, and shins; there were both boots, belt and bracers included in the set.

Between the ripped shirt and pants, the base of her tail had plenty of room to dangle out. He smiled and told her "Yeah, that's much better. As long as I don't abuse my ability to see through your clothes, I should be fine."

With that dealt with, he then transformed ten of the remaining rank-G, level-one, bunnies, into pelts. After that, he swiftly sacrificed one of the field-mouse mana-cores to recreate his set of white-rabbit fur kilt and boots.

The moment he donned the new equipment, his Agility increased to five, and his Defense Rating doubled: reaching four. Then he reached down and placed Inari in his first Companion-slot, while telling the two girls "Now, it's time for us to hunt."

Sarah grumbled "You have my knives, right?" to which he sighed, and casually tossed the five, rusty, poisoned daggers at her face. However, a barrier appeared, causing them to suddenly stop a few millimeters from her bright-red skin, and fall into her tiny deft hands.

The partially clothed Human turned on his 'Mini-Map' and the worm-girl immediately asked "What the hell is this thing? Ah, one of em popped-up in-front of me too."

Elina muttered "She doesn't even know what a map is? Hmm, I've never heard of Raphael's Jungle..." before exclaiming "This-this is 'The Forbidden Forest!?' Michael, how did you even make it this far inside?!"

He snickered as he started walking towards the west, away from the waterfall, and said "While I was carrying the two of you, I just kept running in this direction. There was a gigantic horde of undead that were about trample us, but for whatever reason, none of them entered this beautiful... noisy, annoying, sweaty, and seemingly endless rain-forest. I did feel a little disoriented at first, but I have an automatically updating map, so it's not like I could get lost, heh."

Sarah yelled "Ow, damn it! Hey, wait for me!" as she scratched her slimy tail against a thorny bush, and nearly tripped over some vines. From her perspective, she had only been unable to see for less than a day, so she obviously wasn't able to walk properly on her own.
