Dongyun picked up the long stick from the ground and stood up, dragging his tired body.
They didn't know how long until dark, so to prevent themselves from moving halfway through the night, they needed to set off as early as possible, ideally arriving at the sea cave an hour before the sun disappeared. They could then use the last bit of time before dark to collect some wood to make tinder and start a fire.
This place is unbearably hot during the day and might be freezing cold at night.
"I'm so tired, I want to die."
Gabriel lay on the sand, having finished drinking coconut water. She lay flat, closed her eyes, and looked peaceful.
"Get up, keep going, once we move to the new house we can finally get some rest. It might get dangerous here after dark."
Shinonome poked Gabriel with the long stick in his hand.
They had to reach the sea cave before nightfall, otherwise, without a moon, they would be unable to move an inch. In the darkness, they would have no choice but to stay put. If a ferocious beast appeared in the darkness, they would be powerless to resist.
"I can't go on, carry me on your back."
Despite her complaints, Gabriel got up anyway.
"I still want you to hold me."
Dongyun wasn't joking; he was serious.
Why doesn't Gabriel have magic power? If she did, they could have an easy life.
"Oh~!"
Survival is hard, Gabriel sighed.
"Stop sighing, let's move the coconuts. By the way, are you hungry? If you are, let's have dinner together."
Dongyun put on her coconut shoes and pointed to the few remaining snails and clams on the reef.
The shoes are not very comfortable to wear or walk in, but I have to wear them to protect my feet from injury.
"Not hungry!"
Upon hearing this, Gabriel shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.
I'm not hungry, really not hungry.
In the afternoon, she ate a few small sea snails after being persuaded by Dongyun. The taste was not exactly delicious, but rather awful.
She managed to eat a small clam mixed with coconut water, and the terrible taste still makes her mouth feel strange.
Of course, she couldn't compare to that terrifying guy, Dongyun. He ate conch and clams, and even though his expression was contorted in pain, he still insisted on eating.
"Fine, if you don't want it, I'll pack it up."
The garment tied around Shinonome's waist was Gabriel's coat, which had two pockets that could be used to hold the remaining sea snails and clams.
"Keep pretending."
Gabriel couldn't bear to look at her coat, which had become Shinonome's "skirt".
Even with her coat covering it, the swaying thing would still occasionally slip out and fall into her sight.
You'll get used to it.
Just as she's used to wearing only one pair of panties, she also needs to get used to seeing Shinonome's friends.
More than ten, almost twenty coconuts, are not particularly easy to carry.
To carry all the coconuts, Shinonome and Gabriel tried to hold them in their arms as much as possible. The coconuts they couldn't carry were placed on the ground, and they kicked them forward as they walked, letting them roll on their own.
Along the way, Shinonome and Gabriel kept stopping and starting, just to bring all the coconuts with them.
"If you can't aim properly, can you please stop using so much force!"
Gabriel was furious when she saw Shinonome kick the coconut askew again.
How many times has this happened? Your aim is terrible! How can kicking a coconut forward turn into kicking it into the ocean?
"I am Chinese, as you know, and my country's football performance is not ideal."
Higashino defended himself.
Soccer is difficult to kick, and a coconut that isn't round enough is even more difficult to kick. It's normal for it to go astray when you kick it.
"Then you should kick less hard, like me, like this."
Gabriel was like a frail old lady; she said she was kicking a coconut, but it was more like she was pushing it.
"No, that's too much effort."
Dongyun shook his head, then went to pick up the coconuts that had been kicked off course.
"What's so difficult about it? It's not difficult for you to run around and pick it up like that."
Gabriel had lost count of how many times she'd seen Dongyun run off to pick up coconuts. She couldn't believe how tiring it must be for Dongyun to be constantly picking up coconuts.
As the sun set, with an hour to go before sunset, Gabriel and Shinonome arrived at the rocky beach.
"I'll leave the coconuts here for now, and I'll come down to get them later."
Dongyun put down the coconut and used his fingers to measure the time of sunset.
According to one of the comments, if you place your hand on the horizon and count how many fingers' width of distance is between the sunset and the horizon, you can roughly estimate how much longer it will take for the sun to set. One finger's width is fifteen minutes, so four fingers' width is one hour.
If he's quick, he can come down again before dark and carry the rest of the coconuts back to the cave.
Chapter 16 Gabriel's Angel Ring
"How much longer until we arrive?"
"Come on, come on."
"That's what you just said."
"That's fast! Be careful, don't fall."
Cliffside, holding coconuts and long sticks, Shinonome and Gabriel carefully and wearily climbed upwards.
Although the path leading uphill isn't narrow, you still have to watch your step. If you trip over a stone and fall, you'll end up with bruises all over your body.
"arrive."
Dongyun was delighted to see the sea cave.
He immediately crawled into the cave, threw the coconut and the long stick on the ground, and sat down on the ground with a thud.
"finally reached."
Gabriel followed into the cave, put down the coconut, and sat down next to Shinonome.
The sun was setting over the sea, and the cave was very dark.
"It's so dark."
Gabriel complained, raising her hand to touch the top of her head.
Instantly, a faint light appeared above her head, and a dimly lit black angel halo appeared out of thin air.
Gabriel wiped it.
The black angel ring returned to its original beautiful gold, and its dim light suddenly became dazzling, illuminating the dark cave.
"Eh?"
At first, Shinonome didn't know what Gabriel was doing. When he noticed the cave suddenly brighten, he saw the glittering angel ring in Gabriel's hand.
Not only was Shinonome surprised, but the comments section was also shocked.
【Nani? 】
[There's even this kind of thing done!]
[Great Beer]
【lamp!】
[So bright!]
Wow, it's so bright.
Gabriel didn't expect her angel halo to be so bright.
Normally, there's a holy light around her, so you can't tell how bright her angelic halo is. Now that she's lost her magic and can't activate the holy light, she suddenly realizes that her angelic halo is actually quite bright, like a small lamp.
"Your angelic halo doesn't need magic to glow?"
Dongyun was overjoyed to see the angel ring.
A lamp, this is a lamp, a lamp that allows people to move around in the dark!
"No need, the angel halo glows on its own."
Gabriel shook her head.
The angel halo glows; it's a universal law. Even if she has no magic power at all, it will still glow.
“Great! With your angelic ring guiding the way, let’s go and bring back the rest of the coconuts.”
Dongyun wanted to bring back all the coconuts that had been left on the rocky beach.
