Let's keep up the good work today!

Oh!

Breakfast is over and work has begun.

Hanari-sama-is it better to choose between a new type of gourd and charcoal?

I wonder if it's charcoal. There's more firewood left over from processing.

I understand!

Chairman! I can't help you either!

"It doesn't matter how you feel, Kageyama-san." Charcoal is simply steamed on the wood. That's enough for the clumsy! "

"Chairman Liu Shi is amazing! I'm not a pro anymore!"

"That's right!" That's it! You're not a survival master! Hahaha! "

Everyone is working at their own discretion.

Today's instruction is simple: "Prepare for winter."

Therefore, it was up to each of them to decide how to move.

It's not much different from a holiday.

Instructions are rough because there are lots of time limits to get out.

Temperatures are falling day by day, giving a sense of the arrival of a life of pullback.

When that happened, I let them do what they liked so they wouldn't regret it.

I was well prepared to move like this.

I can assure you that it will no longer be a problem for you to start living in retreat from tomorrow.

Well, it seems that the start of life in reality will be from the beginning of the year.

Firecracker, why don't you come with me to get some ingredients?

Iri spoke to me.

Most of them stop moving and start listening.

In particular, there were signs of the female formation piercing from all directions.

"It doesn't matter... what's this sign?"

Me looking around.

Tanaka and her eyes met.

"Work, work, work, work, work!"

Tanaka looked away in a hurry and went into the back of the cage.

The others quickly resumed their work.

Well then, let's go.

It is a pictorial place that points to the outside of Ajito.

"Ohh!"

And then I nodded.

Wait, you two.

Hanari called out.

There is a modest kindling in front of her.

"It's cold outside, so you should take Cairo with you."

Hanari used a bamboo stick to remove the stone from the bonfire.

It is a palm-sized stone that is burned by gunpowder and finished in Achia.

I taught you the idea of replacing the baked stone with Cairo.

"Then I need a bag to put Cairo in."

Shigeko approached and took out a bag of cloth from her pocket.

Hanari, are you sure you want to put it in?

"It's okay, I'm getting a little cold."

Yuko and Hanari worked together to put a stone in the bag.

When Cairo is finished without any particular problems, Shigeko hands it over to me.

I felt the warmth from the bag was not too hot.

"Thank you, both of you."

I gave one of the Cairo cards I received to Picasso.

There it is!

The painting is nicking with Cairo on the cheek.

When I saw it, I was worried it would burn me.

Unlike the commercially available Cairo, the handmade Cairo is dangerous when struck on the face.

It seemed that Iri knew about it, and she immediately took Cairo off her face.

Well then, let's go.

Hanari smiles, "Be careful."

Shigeko, who was standing next to it, was silent.

(There's some weird mood......)

With an indescribable spookiness, I go outside with Iri.

"Eri-san, I'll properly protect you!"

Yonako's voice.

Despite my name, Iri's legs don't stop.

"You're gonna be okay."

The flower pears are returned without a hint of cynicism.

"Oh, that's safe," said Shiroyoko.

You can hear Yonako's "muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

It didn't seem like Shigeko's "safe" remark was offensive.

"Hey, Iri, is there any girl talking about us?"

I ask Yuri in a squeaky voice.

Maybe.

Iri flushed slowly.

And change the subject to "than that."

(Hey, are the girls breaking up?)

I was filled with anxiety.



Iri and I walked around the perimeter of Ajito and collected ingredients.

"It's been a long time since I've sourced ingredients."

"Because I and Tanaka-kun were always in charge."

Chat while working.

"Yuri, do you think you'll source the ingredients after your dedication?" Or do you think about giving according to the ingredients you have sourced? "

"I wonder if it depends at that time." Recently, I may think about it while procuring ingredients. "

"That's right."

"Now I'm thinking of a dish that will go well with rice." It's almost finished! "

"I'm feeling fast." It still takes about 10 days. "

"That's right!" By the way, is our rice really delicious? "

"It definitely tastes good... or else I don't know." I made it on purpose. "

I made it because I had a choice not to make it.

"That's what I'm talking about."

This island is home to rice.

So, if you feel like it, you can harvest turtles from it.

Nevertheless, we struggled to raise them from one to the next.

I would have liked to start improving the variety if I could.

The reason for this is that I want to eat delicious rice.

We usually compromise on quality by focusing on speed, but we were different only from the comedy.

Only rice, which is the staple food of Japanese people, is quite delicious.

Japan's rice is cheap but of high quality, so its tongue is fat when it comes to rice.

The rice that is native to this island is poorer than the rice that we have desperately raised.

"...... you've been saying this all along, but is that really the case?"

When our rice is finished, it's good to eat and compare

"I'll try that!" I mean, the rice harvested from the native rice is also very good as a seasoning! "

There are two condiments that can be made from rice.

Alcohol and vinegar.

Both greatly contribute to improving the quality of food.

I remembered with condiments, but would you like to try making some mayonnaise?

"Mayonnaise!?"

The eyesight of Yuri has changed.

It was like a ferocious predator who found its prey.

He looks at us with sharp eyes.

"It's easy to make mayonnaise." Vinegar, egg yolk, salt, nutmeg, and oil. Mix them all together and you're done. I don't know the exact amount, but I'll be able to put it together with my intuition. "

Is oil olive oil okay?

“Of course, the literature I've been referring to says that mixing oil changes the direction of the flavor. With olive oil, the taste will be calm. In general, salad oil... I think cottonseed oil is best in our environment."

"That's right!" Ah, but it's hard to make a lot of cottonseed oil from now on, so I guess it's olive oil after all. "

"Isn't it okay?" I've also heard of ants mixing lemons with flavorings. Again, I don't really know. "

"Lemon! I think it's good! It looks refreshing!"

Then I'll go back and make some mayonnaise.

Yeah!

and nodded heavily, Iri noticed.

"Wait, I don't have any nutmeg?"

Then you don't have to worry about it.

I laughed and pointed at the big tree in front of me.

Fortunately, you can pick nutmeg from that tree.

"Is that so!? Nutmeg was such a big tree!"

"That tree is called Nikuzuku, and Nutmeg is a finely chopped Nikuzuku seed."

Ooh!

"I haven't touched it before, but this Nikuzuku is quite an excellent tree." Apart from nutmeg, you can also get spices called mace. "

"Mace and Nutmeg were together!" I didn't know! "

Let's get both of them.

"Yeah! Now I can make mayonnaise!" And nutmeg itself is an easy spice to use! Firecracker-kun, tell me faster! "

I don't know...

That's why I picked up the crispy snake seeds.

"What are we going to do now?" There's still time, though. "

Ask Iri.

We've got all the ingredients, let's go back!

"Okay."

Ah, I'm looking forward to the mayonnaise!

Iri returns with a wiggly footsteps.

Your buttocks are swaying to the left and right, and you seem to be seducing me.

Early in the morning, my vegetables refused me, so I got rampant.

"Hey, Eri"

Hmmm?

Iri looks back.

I held her tightly. [M]

"Before you go back... it's good, right?"

I try to lay my lips on the lips of Imuri.

Then she raised her face slightly, closed her eyes, and accepted it.

Not today!

What a refusal.

You force my arm, you take a few steps back and you open your distance from me.

I-I 'm sorry, didn't I?

This is the first time that Iri has turned me down.

I guess that's why my voice is trembling so much that I know it.

"I don't hate it, I don't hate it... but not today!"

"What do you mean by that..."

"And anyway, it's no good!" I'm sorry! I'll be right back! ”

"Hey, hey, hey."

Iri drives away.

I stood there in a daze. [M]

"I don't hate it, but I can't... why!?"

There is no answer to that question.

"Well, well, if you don't like it, is it Safe...?"

With countless question marks on his head, he went back to his home journey in vain.
