Surviving in anime world, playing with a girl and getting watched by the live chat.

Kagamihara Nadeshiko blinked, indicating that she did not understand.

"If I had to put it into words, it's that I like it. But the direction I like is, well, a little different from what you think."

Shinonome glanced at Gabriel, his gaze sweeping from top to bottom.

He wasn't a lolicon; it just so happened that Gabriel was a loli. He admitted he didn't particularly like Gabriel's frail body, but her face was truly beautiful for an angel.

"?"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko didn't understand at first, but after noticing the way Shinonome was looking at Gabriel, she suddenly realized.

"Eh?"

Could it be that he likes it from a sexual perspective?!

"Understood?"

Seeing that Kagamihara Nadeshiko was acting silly, Gabriel suddenly realized what was going on and sighed, "Be careful, he not only has designs on me, but also on you."

"Eh!"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko was astonished.

She looked at Dongyun and quickly asked, "Xiaoyun, is what Xiaojia said true?"

"..."

Dongyun did not answer.

"is that true?"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko asked again.

"..."

Dongyun smiled, but still did not answer.

Chapter 43 Weapons, Tools, Traps, and Items

Grilled conch, grilled clam meat, and kelp soup.

This is breakfast for Shinonome, Gabriel, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko.

On the rocky beach, they couldn't find any other food. Gabriel and Nadeshiko Kagami tried catching fish in the tidal pool, but gave up after finding that they really couldn't catch any.

It's okay. Even bland grilled conch and clam meat are delicious, and seaweed boiled in rainwater is the best of the best.

Dongyun hypnotized himself in this way.

He's been eating this stuff for three days now, and he's eating it again today. He knows it's fussy and he knows he has no right to complain, but his mouth just feels greasy.

It's a pity that the offal we saved from the day before yesterday was wasted because of yesterday's rain.

Otherwise, build a small, shallow tidal pool with an entrance that can be easily blocked. Throw the entrails in there, and it will definitely attract a lot of fish. Maybe even a giant one.

Walking fish, don't come. We don't welcome fish with long legs; they're things without the soul of a fish.

But it's no use saying all this now; he threw those rotting entrails into the sea to feed the fish yesterday.

Could it be that the walking fish was attracted by its internal organs?

That doesn't make sense. If internal organs can attract walking fish, wouldn't delicacies inside coconut shells attract them even more?

After breakfast, it was time for them to get to work.

Dongyun felt weak and listless, not knowing whether it was because she hadn't slept well or because the food she had been eating these past few days was not very nutritious.

His plan for today was to make stone axes, build the entrance to the sea cave, set up hunting traps, and if there was still time, practice using meteor hooks and slings. Building the entrance to the sea cave required long wooden sticks, so he and Nadeshiko had to go chop wood again.

Shinonome entrusted the task of guarding the campfire to Gabriel.

She needs to continue weaving slings; she needs to make slings for three people and meteor chains for three people. She doesn't know if she can finish them all today.

After giving Gabriel a few brief instructions, Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko headed towards the jungle.

Neither of them spoke a word the entire way.

After returning from the rocky shore, Shinonome noticed that he and Nadeshiko had grown distant.

Not only have the relationships become distant, but the physical distance has also become distant.

Dongyun turned around and saw Nadeshiko standing behind him, about a meter away. He felt a mix of emotions.

As for that.

It's all because of Gabriel. He said he had designs on Nadeshiko, and now, Nadeshiko has become Pochi.

When Nadeshiko saw him turn around, she immediately lowered her head and pretended to be socially awkward.

Shinonome didn't have a good solution to this.

He couldn't possibly tell Nadeshiko that he had no feelings for her just to put her at ease. He had said that to Gabriel, and then he went back on his word today, saying that Nadeshiko would never believe him.

As for having ideas, that's a topic that can't be touched.

Although his smile was a tacit agreement, he didn't completely rule it out. Nadeshiko was already keeping a meter's distance from him; if he admitted it, wouldn't she have to keep a ten-meter distance?

"Nadeshiko."

"Here, I'm here!"

Upon hearing Shinonome's voice, Kagamihara's body tensed instantly.

"..."

This reaction left Shinonome speechless.

But there was no other way; there were some things he had to say.

"Be careful once we're inside. Don't stray too far from each other, and don't leave their sight."

The appearance of the Blood Night might change the jungle, and monsters like tree people, mad pig people, and spider queens might appear.

He knew he might be worrying unnecessarily, but there was nothing wrong with being cautious when surviving in the wilderness. Although humans have long been at the top of the food chain, without powerful weapons and armor, their position in the food chain of this world is not very high.

"it is good."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko softly agreed, a stark contrast to her usual energetic demeanor.

The usually enthusiastic and lively Kagamihara Nadeshiko seemed to have transformed into the withdrawn and socially anxious Goto Ichiri. Unless necessary, she would not speak to Shinonome on her own initiative, and even when she did answer Shinonome, it was mostly with "um," "ah," or "okay," without the questions that a curious child would ask.

In the jungle, Higashion was searching for stones and wood suitable for making axes and handles, while Kagamihara Nadeshiko was gathering timber and collecting palm leaves. They had built the frame of the shelter to protect the fire, but the roof was not yet finished, so they still needed to collect a lot of palm leaves to weave and attach to the roof.

Making a stone axe is not difficult; the trouble lies in making the axe head and handle, which require time and patience. The axe head needs to be crafted from suitable stones, and the handle needs to be made from wood of sufficient thickness.

Kagamihara Nadeshiko was ultimately a yang-type woman; her yin-type appearance did not last long.

When they returned to the camp, Nadeshiko gradually closed the distance between herself and Shinonome, and curiously watched him make a stone axe.

Kagamihara Nadeshiko imagined that making a stone axe was simply a matter of binding stones and wood together with rope, but she never expected that Shinonome's method would open her eyes to a whole new world.

To make stone axes, Dongyun first drilled a hole in the wood, then threw hot coals into the drilled hole to heat it up and shape it into a suitable form. After that, he stuffed a polished stone into the hole and used other stones to smash it, so that the axe head would be wedged into the hole in the handle.

And that's how a simple stone axe is made.

"Amazing."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko stared intently at the stone axe in Shinonome's hand. With the axe, they could chop down trees much more easily.

“That’s impressive, isn’t it?”

Dongyun, who made the stone axe, also felt that he was very capable.

Unlike rope weaving, he learned to wield an axe very quickly. Does this mean he has the potential to become a master in the field of survival?

After finishing one stone axe, Dongyun still needs to make a second one.

He had no intention of making a stone axe for Gabriel. Gabriel was physically weak and lacked strength; she could focus on hand weaving, while he and Nadeshiko could handle the heavy lifting like chopping trees. Perhaps due to her large appetite and training, Nadeshiko was not only physically strong but also incredibly powerful—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a girl with superhuman strength.

Dongyun even suspected that his physical strength might not be as good as Nadeshiko's, and his strength might not be as great as Nadeshiko's.

Throughout the day, Shinonome, Gabriel, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko were all working.

They built a shelter to protect the fire, crafted two axes, three slings and two more meteor hooks, and even made a palm leaf door for the sea cliff cave. Dongyun also learned how to set rockfall traps and snares, setting up four traps along the animal trails in the jungle, waiting to see if any prey would take the bait the next day.

"I can't take it anymore, I really can't."

Having accomplished all this, Dongyun lay on the palm leaf bed in the sea cave, her body limp like a lump of mud, not even wanting to move a finger.

They went to the jungle to gather firewood, looking for wood to make axe handles, and then to the rocky beach to find stones to make axes.

After lunch, without much rest, they had to endure the heat to cut down trees and collect long sticks, then weave palm leaves to make a palm leaf door using rope, long sticks, and woven palm leaves.

Finally, it's time to sharpen, sharpen, and sharpen again.

I feel like throwing up, I'm so tired I feel like vomiting.

"Me too, I'm going to die."

Gabriel placed her hands on her chest, closed her eyes peacefully, and wore a faint smile on her face, as if she wanted to ascend to heaven.
