The process turned out to be more complicated than they had initially anticipated.
Even with protective equipment, some accidents happened when people touched golden spores with uncovered body parts… an exposed elbow here, an unprotected wrist there.
But thanks to "Mooshito", a nickname both Ren and the mushroom continued using reluctantly because everyone else had adopted it, there were no serious problems.
The little mushroom could absorb and control golden spores that accidentally came into contact with people's bodies, neutralizing them before they could cause adverse effects.
"Careful!" Liora shouted when Luna almost touched an open container with her sleeve.
"I've got it," Ren murmured, taking Luna's hand and directing Mooshito to absorb the few spores that had escaped.
Luna became a moon tomato.
After hours of intense work, they had managed to create several dozen golden spore bombs, each capable of affecting an area the size of a large house.
