life
Under the skillful driving of Qianhu, the group finally arrived at the destination ---- complex at about ten o'clock in the morning.
"This street is very well preserved!" Yuri said as she looked at the crosswalk lights and traffic lights that were still working on the street.
"Hmmm! It's a rarity around here! Senhe said as he looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, which were basically intact.
"That's the case...... You should be able to find it! …… Cloth. The boy said, looking at the furniture looming through the windows of some rooms.
"Huh! Isn't that time to make new clothes? Yuri said excitedly.
"If you can find the right fabric............
"Yo Si! Chi-chan, let's go find the fabric! ”
"You ............ Actually, we can just look for clothes...... The place is kept so well that I think there will be a great chance of being able to find clothes! Qianhu thought about it and said.
“………… That makes sense! Then let's look for fabrics and clothes at the same time! ………… Come! nuko。 Yuri said as she waved to Nuko, who was lying on the edge of the car.
“nuyi!” Nuko climbed onto Yuri's helmet with a very nimble stance.
Probably because of the relatively late disappearance of humans in this area, most of the houses the trio searched still had stoves and a small amount of furniture! Although there were no ready-made clothes, they found great clothes on the second floor of a building------ curtains!
"Na! Ukiba-chan, I feel that this fabric will be very warm when used to make clothes! Yuri said after going to the window and looking at the curtain fabric.
"It's true, these curtains feel thick to the touch and don't puddle at all............ Sendo said after taking off his gloves and touching the material of the fabric.
"Let me take a look at it first, Yuri." The boy walked up behind Yuri and said.
"Oh!" Yuri recklessly moved out of the way.
"Thank you! ………… Judging from the material of these two curtains............ It should be felt! The boy looked at the surface texture and texture of the fabric and concluded.
"Felt?" There was confusion in Chino's tone.
“…… What's that? Yuri asked directly.
"Felt is a type of fabric made by pressing animal hair...... the boy explains.
"Can you make clothes? This thing is called felt! Yuri then asked.
"Well............ It's a bit uncomfortable to wear directly on your body, so you can't use it as a material for intimate clothing............"
When the two girls heard this, a disappointed expression appeared on their faces............
"But ......"
"But ............?"
"But what? Fukiba-chan! Yuri asked anxiously.
“………… This kind of fabric is a very suitable fabric for making outerwear! The boy continued.
"In other words............" Yuri's tone was excited.
"That's right! Our new clothes are gone! The boy finally said the good news that the two girls wanted to hear.
"That's great, Chi-chan!" Yuri said excitedly as she hugged Chito.
"Yes!" Chiho was also very happy to say.
"But before we make the clothes, we need to wash these two pieces of fabric well! After all, after a long time, there is a layer of dust on the surface. The boy casually patted the curtain and looked at the sudden increase in dust in the air.
"If you wash it............ You need a lot of water! ………… That's enough water in the car alone! And we also need to make sure that we have enough drinking water............," said Qianhu.
"Chichi-chan, Chi-chan!" At this time, Yuri, who was standing by the window, suddenly called.
"Huh?" Senho turned and walked over to Yuri.
"Look at that!"
"That? Be...... Is that glowing tower? Qianhu asked, looking at the shining lighthouse in the distance.
"No, it's the one a little bit lower!" Yuri corrected.
"Below.................. Oh! With Yuri's guidance, Senhu easily found a pool of water directly below the building......
"Ahh ………… It's dark under the lights! The boy said embarrassedly.
"In this case, the water used to clean the curtain fabric will be enough!" Qianhu looked at the full pool of water and said.
The three of them removed all the curtains and put them on the half-track car downstairs, and then Chido couldn't wait to start the car and came to the edge of the pool they had just seen.
"Great! The water is spurting out! Yuri said excitedly as she looked at the water pipeline that was constantly spraying water on the edge of the platform in the middle of the pool.
"It seems that it was this pipe that had fallen into disrepair that broke to form this pool!" The boy got out of the car and walked to the edge of the pool.
"Na! Let's clean the curtains, Sen-chan! Yuri suggested to Chino.
"That's right............ Today is also that day............" Chido also nodded.
"Which day?"
"Laundry ............"
Not only did the two girls bring the curtains from the car to the platform in the middle of the pool, but they also took off their coats and put them together with the curtain cloth to wash them together.
"Ahh Leave it to me and Yuri! Floating waves. Qianhu said to the person standing beside him.
"Okay, then it's hard for you............ I'm going to prepare today's lunch! With that, the boy went back to the room where he had found the curtains and began to prepare lunch.
"The water is pretty warm!" Yuri said as she took off her shoes and walked down the slope of the platform into the water.
“………… Indeed! Isn't it warmer inside the bedrock than it is here? Senhe said as he soaked two large pieces of curtain cloth in water. In order to be able to easily wash off the dust accumulated over the years on the curtain fabric, she decided to clean the coats of the two of them first, and then work with Yuri to deal with the two large and heavy fabrics.
"But the clothes are really torn............ And there are no repair tools............" Chido said, looking at the cotton wool that had emerged from the hole in his coat without rubbing it a few times.
“…… So should we not wear clothes first, or should we die first? Yuri, who doesn't know when she took off her shirt and pants and swam in the water, said.
"..................," Qianhu looked at his clothes, and then at Yuri in the water, and he was angry.
"Na! Alright, come over and help............ Not! ”
"Oh! It worked! Yuri cheered as she looked at Chiho who had been shot in the face by the turned water column.
".................." Chiho's expression gradually turned cold, and his eyes slanted to the side.
"I want to put my hand on where the water comes out............ See! The playful Yuri said as she controlled the spout and sprayed it in one direction.
The angry Qianhu walked over quickly, slammed Yuri's head with a small fist and said, "Come and help!" ”
"It hurts! ………… Chi-chan is also coming to play! Yuri felt the force of a playful blow on her head as much a beating, and smiled as she pulled Chido into the water to play.
"Wait!" Chiho was pulled into the water by Yuri with a panicked face.
On this rare sunny and warm day, the two girls played a water battle in the pool............
After the two of them finished playing, Chido and Yuri washed their clothes and curtains together and tied them to the pillars on both sides with ropes to dry.
"Ah......h It's still cold when you get wet! Yuri said as she wrung out the T-shirt she was wearing as she walked onto the platform.
"Because all the clothes have been washed!" Chiho sat down beside the fire that had just been lit and said.
"Na! Sure enough, it's better to keep your hair long! Yuri said, twisting her hair.
"That would be too time-consuming!" Qianhu complained.
"But when the curtains are dry, we'll have new clothes to wear!" Yuri roughly wrung out the water on her body before she walked to the edge of the seat and sat down.
"But now we're just sitting by the fire to keep warm............ Luckily, I left those leaves behind when I peeled the corn before! As he spoke, he tore a small piece of dried corn leaf and put it in the fire.
"It's amazing! When I took it off just now, I couldn't even cut it with a knife! When it is dry, you can tear it into small pieces by hand and use them to make a fire. Yuri said as she felt the warmth coming from the fire.
"And it's very burn-resistant!" Qianhu said as he looked at the leaves that were still glowing after half an hour.
"Corn is such a useful thing! The fruit makes delicious popcorn, and the leaves are the fuel that provides warmth............ "Yuri laments.
"Yes!" Chinohe agreed while enjoying the warmth of the bonfire.
"Anyway, what kind of delicious things will Fubo-chan do today? ………… I'm looking forward to it! Yuri said, holding her chin in her hands.
"I don't know............ After all, he can cook so many dishes............" Chido also said with some anticipation.
"Now, Chi-chan!"
"Huh?"
"Before we met Fukiba-chan, our journey shouldn't be as good as it is now!" Yuri said.
"Hmmm! Those days can only be called survival! And our current days can barely be called life! ”
“………… It's great to be able to meet Ukiba-chan! Yuri sighed.
“………… Without him, I think we'd probably have lost even more! Chito also lamented the importance of teenagers.
"For example...... nuko? The blonde girl gave an example.
"Hmm!" Qianhu nodded.
"We're lucky when you think about it, aren't we?" Yuri said as she propped her hands on the ground and looked up at her clothes swaying in the wind.
"Hmmm! Yes, ............," Chinohe said as she looked up like Yuri.
"Speaking of which, Nuko is gone again!"
Her words............ Probably with the floating waves, because I'm afraid of water............" Chiho replied.
"Ah............ What a nice day! ”
"Yes, ............"
The two girls waited for the clothes and fabrics to dry while enjoying the rare sunny day............
