A taste of home

"Fubo-chan is so cunning, with that ability, won't you never have to worry about food?" Yuri said as she followed the boy.

"Well! It's just that it's a little harder to find food, and lately it's been getting harder and harder to find things that contain energy! The boy walked ahead with a backpack that was obviously a little bulging than before.

"Euve, hurry up! Get out there before the lights are still on, or you'll be in trouble. Qianhu walked at the end and said.

"Chi-chan is really, isn't it still a long time? There's no need to rush it. ”

"If you hadn't thought about picking those iron lotus leaves, there should probably be enough time!" Chiho glanced at him.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't expect it to take so long this time, and it used to be converted very quickly, which is really strange! The boy scratched his head and said.

"It's okay! It's food, after all. ”

"You're really positive about food."

"Hey, hey! Is that the case? ”

"What are the three things that are transformed this time? It's the first time I've seen anything like this, are these really edible? Qianhu asked suspiciously.

"Well! After all, is it the first time to use this kind of energy conversion that seems to be only available in fantasy novels? But I can't say exactly what it is, so I think I can eat it, right? The boy said uncertainly.

"Well! Except for the strange fruit, I smelled the smell of food! I think it's okay to eat. Yuri said in a big way.

"You are really inexplicably confident in food. But what is that fruit with a spiral pattern on its surface? I always feel weird. Qianhu said suspiciously.

"Hmmm! I always feel that the taste is not good. Yuri also gave her opinion on the side.

"It looks like there's some image of the fruit, but let's leave it there for safety!" The boy said.

"But is it really amazing? Can energy be converted into food, is this something called superpower? Chiho remembered what he had seen in a book before.

"Well! I guess so! ”

"Ahh It's been exported! Yuri suddenly shouted.

"Is it already morning?" Qianhu looked at the morning glow on the horizon and said in surprise.

"After all, it took a long time!" Yuri said.

"We're going to go!" As he spoke, Chido walked towards the half-track that was parked on the side.

"Yuri, let's sit down too." The boy said to Yuri.

"Hey!" Yuri listened to the teenager and stepped on the pedal and got into the car.

"Let's go, then!" Chinohe said and started the car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three days had passed since entering the temple, and the group of young men and girls had followed the car to a residential area.

"There are a lot of residential buildings here!" Yuri said, looking at the buildings that kept passing by.

"It's going to get dark soon, and I think it's time to start looking for a place to spend the night!" The teenager suggested to.

"Hmmm! And the drinking water needs to be replenished! After saying that, Chido parked the car on the side of the road.

"If only we could find food!" Yuri said.

"It's very unlikely about food, right? After all, there is no furniture in the residential building I encountered before! Qianhu said.

"That's right! After all, even the door has been torn down! ”

"Well! Still have to hold on to hope, don't you? And isn't there me here? As long as you can find something that contains energy, isn't it the same as finding food? The boy was relieved.

"That's right!" Yuri listened to the boy's words and brought up a glimmer of hope.

"Floating waves are always reliable!" Chiho said with a smile.

"Well! That's as it should be. ”

"There's a lot of room here." Yuri jumped out of the car and looked around.

"At least it's more than a thousand!" Chiho replied.

"There must have been quite a few people who have lived here...... How many people are there? ”

"Well~ a lot of ......" Qianhu gave a general answer.

"Many, much, many ............," Yuri continued, expanding.

"I mean, every little room here is a home, right?"

"If you have no one to live in and take care of it, you can't just have a room that is a home!" Chito corrected.

"That's right! It is because of family that home can be called home! The teenager added.

“…… So we don't really have a home, right? Yuri said with a hint of loss in her tone.

"Who knows!" Qianhu kept looking at the room with the door wide open and said.

"Chi-chan, then I'll ask."

"What?"

"Is this car that has been carrying us a real home or a fake home?"

"Do you have to answer with truth or falsehood? ………… Fake. ”

"Just because it's home, isn't it?"

"You're so long-winded!"

"But even now, we used to have families."

"But now I don't have a home!"

"Well! Who made this world like this? The boy said helplessly.

"Yes!" Thousands of households had no choice but to arrive.

"I say! ………… The door to this room is still intact! Yuri said, pointing to a room.

"Is that really the case!" Qianhu said and opened the door.

"Ahh Is it a rare neat and beautiful room that is preserved as a piece of furniture? Qianhu said with some surprise.

"It's a rarity!" The boy was also surprised.

"It feels so good, Chima-chan!" Yuri walked over to the only chair in the room and sat down.

"Is there still water in the pipes?" Qianhe said as he looked at the faucet that was pouring water after turning it on.

"The gas in the gas stove hasn't been cut off either!" The boy said to the stove that was blazing blue when it was turned on.

That is to say............ Can you cook something to eat? Yuri asked in surprise.

"Yes! Although there are few ingredients, you can try it. The boy responded to the blonde girl's expectations.

"Great!" Yuri cheered with joy!

"Want to help? Floating waves. Qianhu came over and asked.

"Qianhu, you can also go and sit over there, I can handle it alone!" The boy asked the brunette girl to sit down in another chair and went back to the stove to get ready.

"What a beautiful view!" Yuri said, looking out the window.

"Is it time to come back to your senses? The sun is about to set. Qianhu also looked out the window and said.

"Before I knew it, I wanted to stay!"

"Then you can't just stay."

"Huh? Can it really be? ”

"I'm really yearning! Staying in a place like this or something. Chinohe closed his eyes comfortably and said.

"Yes!"

"Look! With a roof to shelter you from the wind and rain, and surrounded by walls on all sides, you always feel very safe! Chihohe continued.

"But if you live like this, you will unconsciously want more things, such as .........."

"Yes! Yes. First of all, we need to have the kind of bunk beds that are two levels above and below, like I have seen in books. Chito gestured towards Yuri with both hands.

"Oh! Not bad. Yuri responded with interest.

"The bed could be placed there and it felt just right." Chiho said, pointing to a corner of the room.

"Hmmm! Yes, there can be. ”

"And then I also want a bookshelf."

"Bookshelves?"

"Didn't Yuri see it? Grandpa there. ”

"Oh! That's it. ”

"You want a big, big bookshelf, the kind that can hold a lot of books...... How many books are you going to put in it............" Chito fell into his own beautiful imagination.

"I want a multi-layered cabinet full of lots and lots of delicious food, ready to ...... There is something to take out and eat......"

"And then?"

"Heating is definitely indispensable, after all, it's very cold......"

"Bathrooms are also indispensable."

"I've heard that people used to decorate their houses with plants."

"Can stone statues be used to decorate a house?"

"Probably so............"

"Okay............"

“………… That's nice......"

The girls were immersed in their fantasies about home, a bright house with two beds, bookshelves and cabinets full of food, decorated with small greenery and Yuri's favorite stone statues, two freshly bought fish in the kitchen, and the air filled with the laughter of children.

"But once you settle in, you'll run out of food quickly!" Chihu was the first to wake up from their sweet dreams.

"That's right!" Then there is Yuri, who hears the words of a thousand households.

Just when the girls were lost, a burst of food aroma came.

"It smells so good," Chido said, taking a hard sip.

"What about the food!" Yuri on the side also began to secrete saliva from her mouth.

"A porridge made with an unknown gem-like jerky powder and a salad made with leaf balls of a mysterious plant that is supposed to resemble a cabbage, and a fruit-flavored solid food with two sticks per person." The boy said, pointing to the food on the low table.

"Wow! Is this the real food? Yuri said excitedly.

"These are the energy in those idols?"

"That's right! I used a few of the other two ingredients except for the fruit, the jerky was just a small amount of powder for seasoning, and the salad was about a tenth of it, but because the leaf ball was not small, it should be enough! The boy replied.

"Ah~Hmm! Super delicious! Yuri couldn't help but take a bite of the porridge first.

"This vegetable is great too! After eating it, I feel that my whole brain is clear! Qianhu said as he chewed on the salad in his mouth.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that Yuri's skin is shiny!" The boy said as if she was starting to reflect her luster like a jewel.

"After eating this bowl of porridge, I feel warm in my stomach, and my whole body feels like soaking in a hot spring." Yuri muttered with a spoon in her mouth, her whole face melted by the food............

"Yes!" Qianhe on the side also took a sip of hot porridge.

The three of them sat together and enjoyed this rare delicacy, and the smell of home filled the air..................
