"How many bullets are there?" Chido asked, looking at the large ammunition box in front of him.

"Sa! Who knows? Yuri said, touching the sweat on her head.

"Although it does look like a lot, it only looks like 200,000 rounds." The boy said as he removed the last box of ammunition from the half-track.

“nu？” Nuko wrapped her neck around Yuri's neck like a scarf, looking at the large pile of boxes stacked in front of her with a curious look.

"Then again, how do you turn these bullets into rice? I remember you have to be in direct contact to become! Qianhu asked.

"Well! In the case of energy sources, it is true that they need to be in direct contact, but bullets and the like can be piled up together to make rice. The boy explained.

"Huh? Do we still have to open all these ammunition boxes? It's tiring! Yuri shouted.

"You~~ You don't have to worry about eating rice!" Qianhu said a word.

"Don't worry! In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, I can convert one box after another, except for a little cumbersome, there is nothing inconvenient. The boy said with a smile.

Since Nuko joined, the luck of the three seems to have improved, and there is nothing like a bullet box on the edge of the original pothole, and even if there is, it is only scattered with a large number of bullet casings and a small number of bullets. Just as the three of them were about to give up, Nuko jumped off Yuri's helmet and led the three to a small hidden room. In that small room, the trio found a large number of ammunition boxes.

"Thank you nuko this time!" The boy smiled and touched Nuko's head.

“nu～！ nuyi~~~~" nuko felt the boy.

"How? Nuko is soft. Yuri said to the boy who withdrew his hand.

"Well! It really feels very good! It feels like soft cotton! The boy said as he felt the lingering afterglow on his hands.

"But how do you collect it? After all, you see, rice is all grain by grain.................." Qianhu continued to ask.

"It's okay! Just watch, and then it's my job! As he spoke, the boy removed a round metal can from the car and walked over to the hill of ammunition boxes.

“nu？”

Nuko watched as the boy stopped in front of an ammo box with it. He placed one hand on the ammo box and the other on the mouth of the canister, and then he saw that small white particles kept falling from the palm of the boy's hand into the canister. Each ammo box didn't stay long until after the last one had stayed for a while, and the originally empty canister was filled with white flower particles.

"Oh~~~! Rice is actually ............ There are so many! Yuri exclaimed as she looked at the jar the boy was holding as thick as her helmet, and the liquid in her mouth was already overflowing from the corners of her mouth.

"Is that all that is the only way to make so much ammo?" Qianhu walked curiously to an ammunition box and looked curiously at the empty box.

"Indeed! The value for money is a bit low. The boy could only laugh helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, there's so much ammunition anyway, and you can't ......eat it," Yuri said indifferently.

"But I'm afraid I won't find another ammo box near here, right?" Qianhu looked around again and said.

"Yes! If it weren't for NUK, we probably wouldn't have found that much ammunition! Anyway, I haven't seen any food here, so how did Nuko survive? The boy asked, confused.

"Yes! After all, there is only water to drink here, and even the most basic military rations have not been found! Qianhu said.

"Will you eat it............

"............" swallowed sound.

"Oh! Eat it! Yuri said in surprise.

"Huh? What did you eat?! ”

Chito and the boy turned around in surprise.

“nuyi～～”

I saw that Nuko seemed to have swallowed something under the gaze of the boy and Chino.

"That shape ............," Chido said with some suspicion as he looked at the way Nuko's cheeks were propped up by food before swallowing.

"It won't be ............" The teenager couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Bullets!" Yuri said.

"Bullets?!" Chiho couldn't believe his ears.

“………… Sure enough! The boy was also a little surprised.

"That kind of thing can't be eaten!" Qianhu said.

"But there's nothing here for this guy to eat............" Yuri continued.

"That being said............ But it's too ............ to eat bullets," Qianhu wanted to say and stopped.

"Chi-chan, look!" Yuri said as she picked up a bullet from the ground and handed it to Nuko's mouth.

“nu？ ………… Ahh Nuko looked at the bullet in her mouth and swallowed it without hesitation!

"Oh! Swallow it! Yuri called out happily.

"Huh? I really ate it! Really fake...... "Although Qianhu was prepared, he was still stunned.

"Well! Qianhe, don't panic............" the boy comforted.

"But ............" what else did Chito want to say.

"That's the only way to make sense! After all, although Nuko looks a little strange, she should be eating. It's just that her food is different from ours, it's just ammunition or something! The boy said.

"At this time, you want to say that it is delicious, right?" Yuri instructed Nuko.

"It's delicious......" said Nuko.

“………… Hawkers! So be it. Qianhe was already too surprised to bother to say anything more.

“nuko！ What does the bullet smell like? The boy tried to ask.

“…… Delicious! I'd like to eat more............" Nuko said without hesitation.

"Look, she's got it!" Yuri said happily to Chino.

“………… I feel like she's gradually remembering the vocabulary! Qianhu said speechlessly.

"Because I'm teaching her!" Yuri said complacently.

"Nuko is really smart! Originally, I thought that she could only simply repeat other people's words, just like a parrot, but I didn't expect to be able to understand the meaning of language and learn ...... It's amazing! The boy sighed.

"Nuko is amazing?" Nuko asked, tilting her head as she ran up to the boy.

"Hmmm! It's amazing! The boy took Nuko into his arms and stroked it like a cat, and the soft hand felt unstoppable............

"ヌルヤ~~~~~" ヌコ feels less.

"I feel like I'm enjoying it!" Yuri said in surprise.

"It's like when you eat something delicious............ Chinohe said with a smile.

"Nani? Does Ukibo want to eat Nuko too? Yuri had a look on her face that had been robbed of her food.

"No, no, no! It's definitely thinking too much! And what's going on with that look on your face? Your appetite is terrifying, isn't it? Qianhu complained.

"I didn't want to eat Nuko! I'm relieved............" Yuri said with a sigh of relief.

"Fubo doesn't always want to eat like you do, I think he probably thinks he thinks of Nuko as a pet!" Chiho thought about it and said.

"Pets? Is it OK to eat? ”

“………… Belch! Can we not mention the word eating? Qianhu said speechlessly.

"But my stomach tells me it's hungry!" Yuri said.

“………… Never mind! Let's start eating! Qianhu couldn't say the thousand words that he had originally held in his heart, so he could only say this sentence helplessly.

"Are you hungry?" At this time, the boy with Nuko around his neck came over and asked.

"Yes! Hungry to fly! Yuri honestly admitted.

“…… Somewhat. Qianhu was a little embarrassed.

"I'm so embarrassed! I'm going to cook the rice! After the boy finished speaking, he handed the nuko around his neck to Yuri, and began to take out the pots and pans and the small stove to bury the pot in the edge of the hole to cook.

"Fubo-chan, is it ............ today?" asked Yuri excitedly as she looked at the young man pouring white rice into the pot.

"Hmmm! Eat today. The boy said as he washed the rice.

“yeah！ That's great! Yuri raised her hands and cheered.

"Rice? …… Delicious......? Nuko asked, leaning on Yuri's shoulder.

"It's delicious!" Yuri said as she hugged Nuko.

"But is that good? After all, we don't find much rice, do we? Qianhu said with some concern.

"It's okay! After all, there should be a lot of these things to be found in the future............ And the vegetable is getting a little shriveled............" said the boy, picking up the last tenth of the leaf.

“…… Hawkers! Indeed, this one probably can't be eaten without eating! Qianhu looked at it and nodded.

"It's true that this vegetable is not easy to spoil, but it probably tastes bad when you put it down............ It's better to eat it now while it's still available. After the boy finished speaking, he put the leaf ball in the pool water and washed it.

“nu？” At this time, Nuko was attracted by the things in the boy's hand, and walked up to the boy with short legs, staring at the vegetables in his hand.

“…… Want to eat? This one. The boy smiled and tore off a vegetable leaf from the leaf ball and handed it to Nuko's mouth: "Whoa! Eat it. ”

“nu！” Nuko excitedly swallowed the vegetable leaf in the boy's hand.

"Is it delicious?" The boy asked.

“…… Super delicious! Nuko replied immediately without hesitation.

"That would be great!"

"Super delicious! I still want to eat ......," Nuko exclaimed excitedly.

"Looks like she can eat anything other than bullets or stuff!" Qianhu said clearly.

"That's not right! Chi-chan, Nuko didn't eat the dry food cookies I handed her! Yuri corrected.

"I guess Nuko likes to eat foods that have a lot of energy." The boy said as he fed the remaining leaf stalks to Nuko.

"Like bullets or something?" Qianhu asked.

“………… That's right! The boy said, putting the pot on the lid.

"What a wonderful creature!" Chito looked at Nuko and sighed.

“nu？” Nuko looked at Chino, and then lowered his head to eat the mysterious vegetable that the boy had cut and put on a small plate.
