“Three things to note: Keep yourself dry during rain; Keep yourself ware of the ‘Another World’s Diary’

Personally, I liked the rain, because it gavethat roh I knew that it was nothing but asummer

In this world, too, I looked forward to the rain I always felt wonderful whenever I listen to the sounds of raindrops pitter-pattering on the leaves in the trees

And, on the twentieth day, the thing I looked forward to the most finally happened

The afternoon sky was covered with large gunpowder-colored clouds as the wind blew fiercer than usual

She was the first on to head to the entrance while I quickly put down my book and followed behind her

“Rain is co”

“Un”

After our short conversation, she beca up by her When she ran out of places to hang them, the pelts were neatly folded into a pile If the pelts weren’t sorted out, I wouldn’t have noticed that they were around 40 of them

Although I didn’t knohy she was doing this, I quickly lent her a helping hand

After the pelts were sorted out, we also arranged to bring the other stuff into the inner cave I had so the place, where the treasures were kept, as the “inner cave”

The whole process was quite fast, though I was immediately covered with perspiration

Next, we put the folded pelts at the highest part of the cave——the place where we slept

Highest part of the cave……

I suddenly understood so……

The hell! This cave was going to be flooded! It was definitely going to be flooded!

I couldn’t iine how the cave would look like when it was filled ater But one thing was for sure, there would be no dinner tonight Rather than worrying about that, I really wanted to ask her how she persevered through each flooding

Nothing can stop the inevitable Even Chairman Mao himself said ‘If it threatens to rain or your mother wishes to remarry, there is no way to stop them¹’, so what can I do?

Pitter-patter

Rain fell noisily as I, who had been leaning against the wall at the entrance of the cave, got partially soaked Since I have ran out of cigarettes, and I couldn’t read any books, I casted aze at the bored Medusa

“What’s the matter?”

“Rain…don’t like”

She arched her tail up and hugged it with her ar off a feeling of loneliness and gloom

“Because water…come in?”

“Hah!”

I spread , ‘大’, in an atteh Unfortunately, h, and, furtherlasses

“How silly”(Medusa)

“Hehe”

I have ed to tease a little smile out of her I’ve also discovered that the main reason the cave floods wasn’t due to the rain drops flying in Rather, it’s because the cave floor juts out further than the cave’s ceiling, collecting a large amount of the rainfall from the top of the cave’s entrance Furthermore, the cave’s floor isn’t completely flat Instead, it slopes doards fro it possible for tiny streams of rainfall to sneak into the cave

If that was the issue, then there’s a quick and easy solution to this First, I need to h I didn’t kno toas it can prevent water fro into the cave

Next, we need to construct a door sill The height of the door sill needs to be a little higher than the ground, and the gap between the floor and the door sill could be resolved by padding the gap with the pelts As for the crafting of the door, that could be left for another time

As I was being coenuity, the cave’s interior was already wet I sat on the bed that was e stones and a stack of animal pelts

Though, it’s not that I didn’t want to lie down on it, but that she had alhtly small bed when she laid on it

I didn’t kno long it rained, but after an hour or so, it stopped By then, the sky had already turned dark

Other than the reflections of a few things, the cave was filled with a grayish darkness After soht from the black merchants

As I only bought four of those candles, they were quite precious

The candlelight was very beautiful, especially within the es could be seen froue of the flame with its distinct layers A major part of the reason of human’s persistence toward flames was probably due to their fear of the darkness

We were bored, silently watching the candlelight while listening to the sound of the boring rain

Suddenly, I re off a blank page, I made a small paper crane out of it

“Eh”

“Un? What’s the matter?”

“Look”
