Chapter 55 The Girl Who Came to the Seaside and Another Sumptuous Dinner

The fishy smell of the sea breeze filled her nostrils. Seeing the blue sky in the distance and the sea nearby, the girl was in a daze, feeling that everything in front of her was unreal.

"Eh?"

The girl with dark gray-blue hair felt the moisture on her cheek and subconsciously reached out to touch it. The warmth that her left hand touched made her freeze.

She looked down and saw that her fingertips were covered with crystal-clear tears.

"Eh?"

Seeing the tears on her fingers, Shima Rin was stunned again.

Did you cry?

This cry seemed to drain the last of Shima Rin's strength; her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

She is so tired.

From yesterday until now, except when she goes to sleep after dark, she has been walking downstream along the river.

During that time, she was scratched by tree branches, bitten by mosquitoes, and accidentally bumped into a green and yellow insect covered in hairs on a leaf. The sting on her right hand still hurts. But the most dangerous thing was that she also encountered a leopard.

Fortunately, the leopard was eating, and the animal it was eating looked like a fawn. The leopard only growled at her once and did not show any intention of attacking her.

She was very perceptive, knowing that this was a warning from the leopard. She had no intention of stealing food from the leopard's mouth. Facing the leopard, she carefully retreated and finally disappeared from its sight.

Lying on the grass, Shiba Rin felt terrified as she recalled what had happened.

If the leopard hadn't been feeding, and if she had encountered it a little earlier, she might have been the one devoured, not the fawn.

Her size was not much different from that of the fawn that was eaten, making her a suitable target in the leopard's eyes.

Shima Rin, still shaken, struggled to her feet.

She couldn't lie here; the grass was probably full of bugs. She needed to get to the beach, find the horizon, and pitch her tent on a shady spot far from the horizon. Unsure of what to do next, she decided to stay here for now, explore the area, and then figure out what to do next.

Set up your tent, rest for a while, eat some unpalatable mangoes, and get a good night's sleep. When you wake up, spell out SOS with stones on the beach. Hopefully, this world, like Earth, has humans, modern civilization, airplanes and ships, and understands that her SOS is a distress signal.

Moreover, although this thought is a bit dark, what if she wasn't the only one who traveled to this world? Perhaps her distress signal could be seen by other unfortunate children like her.

It took longer than usual for Shima Rin to set up her tent in a place with sand, trees, and shade.

After eating some mango and drinking some cooled boiled water from the kettle, she didn't draw the curtain. Instead, she piled her bags in front of it, then lay down on the sleeping mat, enjoying the cool sea breeze and peacefully closing her eyes.

There shouldn't be any snakes or leopards hunting by the sea, so she should be fine if she doesn't close the tent flap.

If something happens, then it's better to pass away.

Exhaustion not only dulled Shima Rin's mind but also made her exceptionally negative.

Living is good, dying is fine too; with this thought in mind, the girl drifted off to sleep.

Night is falling, and the moon is bright tonight.

On the rocky beach, Shinonome, Gabriel, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who should have been doing crafts or playing cards in the sea cave at this time, were working overtime.

They are cutting up the python's body.

During the day, they painstakingly carried the monitor lizard carcass back, which had not been discovered by any animals. Although the journey there and back went surprisingly smoothly, the three of them were still exhausted from carrying the monitor lizard.

The python and the monitor lizard weighed about the same, but Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko were exhausted after carrying the python, and even after resting, they were still tired. Gabriel's stamina wasn't very good either, so they almost died from exhaustion when they carried the monitor lizard back.

After resting for a long time, they began to process the python's carcass, first gutting it, then scaling and skinning it. Each of these was a huge undertaking, so the three of them worked from day to night.

Although they all adhered to the principle of not wasting anything, collecting python blood in coconut shells and keeping the edible parts of the python's internal organs, it was inevitable that a lot of blood would spill out when the snake was gutted. In addition, the fish attracted to the river were fed a great deal of blood from the discarded inedible internal organs.

Seagull?

They drove them away.

After Gabriel, the savior of seagulls, killed two of them with a slingshot, the seagulls dared not come at all.

Tonight, Shinonome, Gabriel, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko will all be staying up late. After the python is butchered, they need to quickly smoke and dry the meat. There's so much meat; the python alone can produce a lot, and with the monitor lizard covered in palm leaves at the camp, he feels they could eat the meat of these two big guys for a month.

This is assuming they only eat meat, because they can't possibly eat only meat; they would definitely need to eat seaweed and other plant-based foods as well. So, eating both python and monitor lizard meat together would definitely take more than a month. Could it be enough for two or three months?

Dongyun was horrified when he saw the large chunks of meat cut from the python's body.

There was too much meat, and the happiness came so suddenly that he felt like he was dreaming. He was worried that things would turn out the other way around, that he was super lucky today, and that he would be super unlucky afterwards.

It's okay, it's okay, he has a system.

With bullet comments and shops, a month is enough time for them to enter the Stone Age. If they can find iron, it's not impossible for them to enter the Iron Age as well.

30 suns and 1 moon are enough for him to exchange for a good blueprint and cheap features.

That night, the three of them didn't sleep, but worked overtime to process the python, make a meat drying rack, and build a hut at the campsite.

To prevent birds, mainly seagulls, from stealing the meat, they need someone to guard the smoked and dried meat at the camp, lest they wake up to find that all the meat has been snatched away by the seagulls. Therefore, the abandoned shelters need to be built again.

They definitely couldn't finish these things tonight, especially since the meat drying rack and huts required long sticks, which meant cutting down trees. Therefore, they could only eat what they could, and leave the rest at the camp covered with palm leaves, to smoke and dry the meat tomorrow after they woke up.

The sea caves aren't big enough. If they were bigger caves, they wouldn't have to worry about where to put the meat or if it would be stolen by seagulls.

"Never mind that for now, let's eat barbecue!"

Dongyun shouted, unable to bear it any longer.

He was exhausted. He had been busy from morning till night, doing all kinds of physical labor, and for long periods of time he was doing heavy physical work. The physical fatigue made him so irritable that he wanted to die.

"Alright then, let's have a barbecue."

Gabriel was just as tired and frustrated. She didn't want to do it anymore because Shinonome was so irritable and just wanted to give up.

"Okay~ Time to eat meat!"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko shouted with great energy, but her voice was much softer than usual.

She was exhausted too.

As the physically strongest of the three, she was exhausted after a day's work.

Fortunately, they can finally take a break.

Roasted snake meat, boiled kelp, coconut water, palm hearts—a rare and sumptuous dinner that made viewers in the live chat exclaim that they were starving.

Chapter 56 Strongman? Valkyrie?

Roasted snake meat, boiled kelp, coconut water, palm heart.

The meal included a main dish, soup, drinks, and dessert. The palm heart was made from small palm trees that were specially sourced from near the jungle; the heart of the palm is inside the trunk of the tree.

Tonight's dinner is the most sumptuous meal that Shinonome, Gabriel, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko have ever had since they came into this world.

Even the previous feasts of seagulls, eels, and octopuses were not as lavish as today's.

"Brothers, our ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke today! We're going to eat delicious roasted snake meat, full of oil and fat."

Dongyun looked at the snake meat placed on the stone slab and imitated Brother Sha's quote, "Killing intent turns into burning sauce," while exchanging comments on the screen.

He saw comments saying that snakes don't have much oil, but even if they don't have much oil, they still have more fat than things like conch, clams, and crabs.

[Makes me hungry]

This smells amazing!

[Eating so well, you'll probably get hit by a car tomorrow!]

What does python meat taste like?

[It looks delicious]

Life is so good, even my instant noodles don't taste good anymore just looking at this.

[I had fermented bean curd rice tonight, and seeing Xiaoyun eating so well made me cry.]

[Eating so well, is this still wilderness survival?]

[With so much meat already, why eat offal? Beware of parasites!]

What does palm heart taste like?

The viewers in the live chat were envious. Seeing how well Shinonome, Gabriel, and Nadeshiko Kagamihara were eating, many of them felt that their own food for the night didn't taste as good anymore.

Who in their right family would eat python meat?!

Boiled kelp, coconut, and palm heart are all fine, but this roasted python meat is really tempting.

"Delicious!"

After roasting the snake meat, Kagamihara Nadeshiko blew on it, opened her mouth wide, took a big bite, and a happy and satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face.

When you're hungry, everything tastes good, especially after a long and tiring day.

Without salt or spices, roasted snake meat certainly can't compare to the dinner many viewers eat, but seeing Nadeshiko enjoying it so much makes the viewers unable to resist fantasizing about how delicious the snake meat must be.
