Vol 1 Chapter 8 (1/2)
“Living here was like trying to survive in the wilderness Although I wasn’t ‘Bear Grylls¹’, I was still alive Also, I wanted to i conditions”——In oal down
I haven’t really seenout for a walk, I used this opportunity to explore the scenery around the cave
The first thing was positional recognition In a situation where not much is known about this world, the si your own house as the point of origin, and memorize the environment around it
I decided that the direction the cave entrance was facing would be considered ‘North’ A place that I have walked through before, taking 300 steps into the thick vegetation would lead e thicket After which would be the foot of the mountain near the plains
Furthermore, there was a trail at the foot of the mountain
Then, let’s start exploring froirabbits Whilea stroll, I coraphical layout of the area into my memory
“This, what is this called?”
I pointed at a red fruit that was hanging off a tree and asked her
“Oh, this, Holica”
“Holica?”
“Yes Holica”
Although I suspected that I have heard it wrongly, why did it feel like if I ate that fruit I would be full of vigor²?
“Oh…then, eat, can?”
“Can, maybe”
She had a very understanding look on her face
Hey, which is it? Could I or couldn’t I!?
The red fruit was the size of a crabapple and had a srows singularly on each branch It looked like it was edible, with the skin having such a bright and attractive colour, one could already iine the taste to be deliciously sweet and sour
Still, I knew that it may not be edible as it seemed……
I knew it Even though I knew it, I still plucked one of the fruits……
“Me, eat?”
“Yes, eat Hehe……”
What’s so funny aboutthat this fruit wasn’t edible?
Ugh, whatever Since I had already plucked it, I ht as well eat it It didn’t look like it was poisonous anyways And if it was, she wouldn’t let me eat it At most, it would just taste bad
The moment I took a bite out of it, the extreh my mouth The fruit was even more sour than wild hawthorn, sar and freshly rass
Even though it tasted like that, I still continued to chew on the flesh
“Delicious?”
“Deli…uuu…”
I can’t put up an act anyether³, withuncontrollably out the side of my mouth
I spat it out If I had continued, it would be a threat to my life
As I was trying to alleviate the sourness by breathing through h so hard that even the little snakes on her hair were swaying wildly around
Medusa, you are definitely like those gangsters ould deliberately pick on foreigners at a train station
Sigh……it doesn’t really matter anyways Didn’t the Divine Farmer³ eat more than a hundred plants by hi
Wiping away my tears, I let on bitter smile——‘Taste bad, really taste bad”
“Hehe~” she laughed as she pulled my hands
“Let’s go”
If she was holdingwould be faster than when I’ed’ along by her
However, I didn’t endary Golden Fruit
I’ it such a la more appropriate
The fruit was so bright and yellow in colour that I could even feel the sunlight reflecting off it With each of the fruit’s size being almost identical, it felt like a masterpiece
Just by looking at it, one could already guess that it would be delicious—— around clusters of the fruit
She quickly plucked a bunch for me There were only 15 fruits in a bunch, but it was as heavy as a regular bunch of grapes
