ability

"I didn't expect it to be so unpalatable! That fruit. Yuri said as she sat in the car.

"You~~ You haven't eaten it all, have you? Anyway, you can eat it all without changing your face! Qianhu said with palpitations.

"As long as it's food, I'll eat it! It doesn't matter what it tastes like............" Yuri said complacently with her hands on her chest.

“………… But it also shows that the taste of nuko is indeed different from ours! The boy said.

"Na! Does Nuko think that fruit is really delicious? Yuri asked, holding Nuko in her arms in front of her with both hands.

“nu? …… Super delicious! Nuko said with a strange wink.

"I guess that fruit has a lot of energy............ It's like a bullet............" Chido said as he watched the road ahead.

"But when we eat it, we can only feel unpalatable!" Yuri said as she put Nuko back on her stomach and stroked it.

"Probably because only Nuko can transform the energy inside!" The teenager explained.

"Well! That's the only way to do it! ”

Chinohe followed Nuko's direction into what looked like a chemical factory.

"Na! Chi-chan, you said the helmet............" Yuri asked, looking at the sign on the wall where the car was passing by.

“…… What's wrong? Qianhu asked listlessly.

"This helmet...... Why do you have to wear it all the time? I don't think it's necessary......" Yuri continued.

"This helmet was originally intended to be a bullet dodge equipment............ Chido said.

"But no one is going to call now!"

"Yes!"

“…… It's easier to ride on if you put it on............" Nuko said pleasantly as Yuri placed her on Senno's helmet.

“………… It's too heavy, it's better not to do this......" Qianhu said speechlessly.

"I think it's to avoid falling objects from high altitudes!" The boy said.

"Falling objects?" Yuri asked as she called Nuko back into her arms.

"Look at the sign............ What do you think that means? The boy asked, pointing to the sign passing by again.

"Hmm............ A pattern circled by a triangular border! It seems to be a small person with a steel frame painted on its head...... What does that mean............" Yuri asked, confused.

"The meaning of this sign is to warn passers-by to beware of falling objects from heights." The boy explained helplessly.

"Something falling from a height? …… Is it a steel frame? Yuri said with a sudden realization.

"It's not just the steel frame............ Be careful with everything that falls due to the collapse of the upper material! "Thousand households expanded.

"But that would have to be super bad luck to encounter!" Yuri said as she felt the soft touch of Nuko's body.

"I don't know............ What happens in case of ............ Pain! A large screw fell on Chino's helmet, interrupting what she was about to continue.

"Awesome! …… It's really falling! Chi-chan is really unlucky............ It hurts! Before Yuri could gloat, she was smashed on her head by several rather large screws and nuts.

“………… Reverse! Beware of bigger things coming down on it! The boy called out as he pointed to a huge black shadow in the sky.

"Chi-chan, stand back!" Yuri shouted.

"I see!" Chito shouted loudly while hanging the reverse gear in horror.

“………… Finished! It's going to crash! If only there was a hole, I really want to get into it! Yuri exclaimed as she looked at the massive object that was getting closer.

“…… Hole! Nuko heard Yuri's scream and felt a force about to be released, something in the dark that told her what she could do............

“nuyi!”

With Nuko's scream, a huge hole opened under the half-track, loading the three of them into it............

"Ahhh Huh? ……………… Are you alright? Chihu closed his eyes and shouted for a while, and after not feeling any signs of being squashed, he opened his eyes and said.

"Chi-chan! ………… This is where we passed before! Isn't that the same sign that Funa-chan told us? Yuri opened her eyes and looked at the familiar sign on the side.

“………… Ah, really! What's going on? Qianhu said suspiciously.

"It's Nuko!" The boy pointed to Nuko, who was a little tired and slumped in his arms.

“nuko………… How? Qianhu asked.

So the boy told the two girls what had just happened to the two girls. It turns out that when the three of them are about to be hit by a huge object, Nuko somehow creates a huge hole under the half-track car that the three of them are riding. The hollow, after swallowing the trio and the car, opened up in their current position and spit out the cart with them, which is why they suddenly appeared in this place.

"Huh~~~~ It's amazing! Nuko can still do this kind of thing! Yuri exclaimed.

"nuyi~~~," Nuko called weakly.

"But what about Nuko now? It seems to be very tired............ "Chiho asked worriedly.

“nu! It's good to eat............" Nuko said with a little pain in her tone.

"It's a ............ to eat," Yuri suddenly realized.

"Why are you eating? Obviously there is nothing to feed her............ "Qianhu is confused.

"I guess it's space energy!" The boy guessed.

"Space energy?"

"Is it delicious? ………… That thing ......"

"I guess Nuko was able to help us escape from that dangerous area by opening a hole in the space barrier under our car! And the way to open that hole is probably to devour the space energy, which is why it has become what it is now. The boy spoke to the two girls.

"That's amazing! You can actually eat space............ Nuko is amazing! Yuri exclaimed excitedly.

"But how did you get this ability?" Qianhu wondered.

"I have two conjectures about this now." The boy said with two fingers up.

"Two? Which two? Qianhu asked.

"The first is that the Nuko race itself has this ability, after all, they can devour energy-rich materials such as bullets for food!"

"Makes sense............ And what about the other one? Qianhu continued to ask.

"The other one is the fruit we ate!" The boy said.

"Huh? Is it possible to do such a thing by eating that fruit? Yuri was amazed.

"I think that strange fruit is probably a devil fruit!" The teenager explained.

“…… Devil Fruits? Sounds terrifying! Qianhu said with some fear.

"The Devil Fruit is a magical fruit that allows those who eat it to gain superpowers, and I think it is because of eating this fruit that Nuko has the ability to make holes in space!" The boy said.

"So............ Will we also have this ability if we eat Devil Fruits? Qianhu asked suspiciously.

"Probably not............ The Devil Fruit I know can only be possessed by those who take the first bite............"

“………… Yes! And it did! ”

"What did you do?" Chinohe asked, looking at Yuri, who was cheering.

"Of course it's a hole in the air! …… You see! Yuri said as she pointed to the swarthy hole that floated in mid-air beside her.

"Nani? What's going on? The boy was surprised.

"Fubo, didn't you say that only those who eat the first bite of the fruit will have the ability?" Qianhu asked.

"That's exactly how it should be! There must be something going on that we don't understand............" the boy said.

"Yu, how did you do that?" Chiho turned his head and asked Yuri.

“………… It just felt like I could do it, and then I did it......," Yuri said, scratching her head.

"I don't know what it means..................," Qianhu said speechlessly.

When the young man heard ............this, he thought about his ability to exchange food, and after testing that feeling for a while, he successfully opened a large hole in mid-air.

"Oh! Fukiba-chan has done it too! Yuri said happily.

"Huh? How could it be ............," Sendo said incredulously as he turned to look at the slightly smaller hole hovering beside the boy.

"Chi-chan has eaten that fruit too!" Yuri said to Chino.

"I think Chiho should be able to do it too!" The boy also said to the black-haired girl.

“………… Then I'll give it a try............" Chihu listened to the words of the two and was eager to try.

"I'll tell you the trick............" the boy said.

“………… And it did! Under the guidance of the boy for half an hour, Chito was finally able to create a hole, about the same size as the boy's.

"But we can't seem to move objects from one place to another like Nuko!" Yuri said after trying it a few times.

"I guess it's because Nuko was the first to eat the fruit! And she eats a lot more fruit than we do! The boy explained.

"So what's the use of our ability?" Yuri said disappointedly.

"Well! Don't jump to conclusions, I think this ability is still very useful! The boy said.

"How?" Qianhu asked.

"Look!" The boy first put a screw that had just fallen on the car into the hole he had opened, and then opened another hole in the other direction and took out the screw he had put inside.

"..................?!" After reading it, Qianhu immediately understood the young man's thoughts, and shouted excitedly.

"Huh? Chi-chan, do you understand? Yuri still asked a little unclear.

"Especially, Fubo means that this ability of ours can be used as a portable warehouse!" Chito called out to Yuri with an excited face.

"That's right! This ability can also be called storage space............" the boy said with excitement.
