236 Vol. 4 pt. 39 Patch 7.0: (2/2)
Memories of certain doujins that Fenrir couldn't resist looking through pop into his head. ”Ye-yeah. Definitely not. I mean, just look at my girlfriends,” he says.
Tabitha looks over at them, focusing her eyes on Serra who's lying on her back with her shirt pulled up revealing her slender stomach.
”Ya sure about that?” Tabitha asks.
”Borderline lolis don't count,” Fenrir explains.
”Bro,” Rao says.
Tabitha looks at Nell now. While Nell may be taller and actually have a chest, she still dresses and acts like a little—albeit perverted—princess most of the time. She dresses like a girl who never grew out of the stage of pretending to be a princess. ”Ya sure about that?” Tabitha asks Fenrir.
”Being mentally childish doesn't count, and her perverted fantasies make her an adult no matter what,” Fenrir explains.
”Bro,” Rao says.
Now, Tabitha looks at Cassiel.
Cassiel looks back when she sees everybody looking at her and tilts her head.
”Alright, ya get a pass on her,” Tabitha says.
”Nice, bro,” Rao says.
”Thanks,” Fenrir replies.
”But I'm still judgin' ya for those other two. If the shortie was an inch shorter then I'd be callin' the cops on ya,” Tabitha says.
”Oh no, onii-chan! The lolice are going to come for you,” Saya mentally teases Fenrir.
”They'll never catch me nor my hard drive alive,” Fenrir plays along in his thoughts, earning a chuckle from Saya. ”Anyways,” he says out loud, ”want to go get some mining done? I think we've still got some time left before it's dark, and we should be able to get up there in time.”
”Might as well!” Tabitha says.
With that, everybody boards The Shoebill once more, leaving most of the logs piled up near the flattened land, and they sail up the river.
The few logs that they bring with them are used by Tabitha to make some pickaxes as they sail. She made those cheap and easy pickaxes beforehand but, now that they've got some steel oak, she can make proper pickaxes that are going to last for more than a few swings each.
Unfortunately, the only ones who can actually stomach mining are Fenrir, Tabitha, Rao, and Cassiel. Oleander wants to help but is too weak and realizes he should probably work on that. Serra and Nell just can't stand the idea of mining. Instead, they help out by carrying any chunks of rock and metal that get mined back to The Shoebill.
Fenrir realizes something extremely important.
”Wait a second,” Fenrir says. ”Rao… you can shrink stuff, can't you?”
”Only chests and other containers. Why, bro?” Rao asks.
”Why aren't we just loading everything into containers then and having you shrink them so we can easily move everything around?”
Everybody stops what they're doing to look at Rao.
”That'd be a good idea, bro,” Rao says.
”And… did we ever even open that chest we got from underneath that monkey boss thing in the water?” Fenrir asks.
Rao digs around in his pockets, pulls the chest out, and looks down at it. ”Huh. Completely forgot that was in there. You kinda forget you've got stuff like this when you can shrink it down so small. You know what they say, bro. Out of sight, out of mind.”
Everybody feels a varying level of need to hurt Rao.
”Well, at least we've remembered now. Let's open this chest to finally see what's in it. Then we can load it up with stone,” Fenrir proposes.

Rao nods, sets the chest down on the ground, and then places his hands against it to increase it to its original size.
Getting to open a brand new chest right now isn't even satisfying to any of them. All they can think about is how much trouble they could have saved if Rao would have thought of using his magic sooner.
