"Actually, I'm still lying to everyone, the most difficult thing at the moment is not the attack of monsters, but the fact that the food is running out."

Wendy bent down and picked up a piece of sweet potato and placed it in a basket beside her, her voice full of remorse.

"President, there are fewer things than expected, not only were they destroyed a lot by monsters during the battle, but they were crushed a little more after the library collapsed, and the current harvest is less than half of what was originally expected."

A life student came over and reported to her.

"Where's the thousand bell flowers? Did the transplanted ones survive? ”

Wendy asked, standing up.

"Most of them are dead......

The life student hesitated and said:

"Probably because of the soil, less than a third of them survived, and the rest withered before even the flower stems grew well."

"Don't we have seeds? Or a fast-growing crop? ”

Natsu had been staying by the side to help, and couldn't help but ask when he heard their words.

"Fast-growing plants currently only have seeds of wild vegetables, and few can be used as staple food, and sweet potatoes are propagated and grown with buds and tubers."

The life student replied.

"Oku......"

Although Xia is from the 28th century, she knows very little about this primitive land cultivation, and it is not bad to say that she is a novice.

"Show me your seeds."

Agnes came to the group in a wheelchair and said to the student.

"Why are you still mixed up with this kind of thing?"

She examined it for a moment and took out a few buds with tubers:

"It's a sprout of a highly toxic crop, and it's useful for my poison extraction, but it's going to be problematic when mixed with food seeds."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

How could this life student not recognize Egnes, he was about to cry, and kept apologizing with his head down.

"Isn't this a potato?"

Xia leaned over and said strangely.

"Dirt...... Beans? ”

Agnes didn't seem to have heard the word, and looked up at Natsu.

"It's a very good food, you can cook or use it as a staple food. Its buds are highly poisonous, but as long as they are removed, the remaining tubers are edible. ”

"But Sister Xia, according to the theory of magical botany, ......"

Agnes wanted to say something, and Natsu patted her on the head:

"Trust me, this thing should be edible, I'll be the first to try it later."

"Is there a wood magician?"

Wendy walked up to the two of them as well, turning her head to ask around.

It was in a plantation near the ruins of a library, and many students were busy at night, and one of the students in charge of resource allocation replied:

"There's one, I'll let him pass."

After a while, a tall mage came from a distance, his body was very thin, his hands and feet were long, and he looked like a bean sprout moving when he walked.

"Give it a try with a fast-growing spell."

Wendy said, pointing to a young shoot.

"Hey—silver-haired, I don't want to eat these grasses and sweet potatoes."

At this time, from behind several people, there was a grumbling voice from Delia.

I saw her mouth bulging behind her, holding a piece of roasted sweet potato in one hand:

"Where's the very delicious thing you said? I'm dying of hunger......"

Delia walked to Xia's side pitifully, wagging her tail and rubbing it against her, like a puppy that was coquettish to her master.

"You guys should be real first, I'll be over in a moment, Wendy...... Come with me over here. ”

Natsu calls Wendy to her and pulls Deria towards the ruins of the library.

"Is there anything good to eat here?"

The three of them came to the original library hall, and Delia looked at the broken wall in front of her, and asked with glowing eyes:

"Is it meat? I want to eat meat! Fish is also available. ”

"Summer ...... There is no meat in the library for a long time, and the same is true for fish, so don't lie to her. ”

Wendy whispered to Natsu with a complaint.

"I didn't lie to her."

Xia replied confidently:

"You'll find out in a moment."

Then she said to Deria:

"If you want something good to eat, dig up this place and let us in."

"Okay, that's easy."

Delia turned her arm and came to the ruins.

"Remember not to make too loud noises, or you might attract the attention of the monsters."

Natsu commanded behind her.

"Got it."

The werewolf princess grabbed the top piece of cracked ceiling with both hands, and with a slight force, the slab of rock several meters wide was set aside by her, which was as easy as holding a straw.

"It should be fine."

Delia patted the dust off her hands.

The hall of the library had long since collapsed, and she cleared the wreckage of the house that stood in front of the three of them to make a path that led to the dark interior of the hall.

"......Uhh

As the three of them walked inside, they occasionally saw zombies firmly pressed under the ruins, some of which could still move their heads, and watched the living people let out low howls.

"Smack!"

Deria's leg moved, and a stone flew from the ground, hitting a zombie in the forehead, and its head immediately burst like a watermelon, never to make a sound again.

"Wait for me."

Xia didn't bring the sword with him this time, and reached out and took out the long black knife on his back.

Sheath sheath she'd let Stephanie, the master of wall-piercing, go into the ruins and retrieve it, and now she could carry it behind her back with the wind.

"Shhhh

She spread her wings and flew into the large hole in the middle of the hall.

After a few moments, a red and white piece of the knife flew up from inside and stood in front of the two of them.

"Sniff ......"

Delia sniffed the thing:

"It smells fishy, is this fish?"

But she soon frowned:

"But there is a faint dark fluctuation in it, which makes people feel very bad, can this thing really be eaten?"

"Wendy, you should know how to purify spells, right? Use one on top. ”

Xia turned to Wendy and said.

"Okay."

Wendy didn't know what the hell she was up to, but she agreed to Natsu's request.

I saw her raise a finger, slightly in the air, and whispered a few words, and a warm light flew out of her hand and seeped into the piece of the thing she was wearing on the blade.

"The bad feeling just now is completely gone."

Delia looked down again and sniffed the fish-like thing, and said strangely.

"I'll see...... There should be wood around. ”

Natsu found some dry wood and tattered books from around and piled them together.

"Pure fire elementals, gather around me, I need your strength."

Xia said silently in his mind.

Then she took off one of the new shoes she had received from Luo Ye, and tapped lightly on a page with her black silk toes.

"Whew!"

A burst of fire burst out of the black stockings, igniting the pile of wood and pages.

She didn't dare to use the gray flames, but gathered the pure fire element, and the flames on the pages of the book took on a very normal orange red; She put her long black knife above the flame, slowly roasting the piece of meat, and after a few moments, the three of them smelled a rich aroma in their noses.

"Wow! What is it? It smells so good. ”

Deria's saliva flowed.

"Hey~"

Thinking that it was almost over, Xia put the knife back:

"Let me introduce you to the delicious taste I call - fragrant grilled octopus! And the material used is the tentacles of the abyss demon, how about it, it's very powerful, right? ”

"Ahh

Before she could finish her words, Delia bit down on the blade, and she bit off most of the grilled octopus.

"Don't worry, it's not quite ready yet, I'll put salt and some seasonings on top later...... Yikes! Why are you still eating? It's not good to say it......"

Delia ate very quickly, and in an instant, she ate all the octopus meat.

"Quick, quick, I'm going to eat octopus meat!"

Delia walked around and hugged Xia with her arms, and pressed her head against her chest in a hurry.

"Natsu, is it really possible to eat the flesh of demons? No one has ever tried it before. ”

Wendy said worriedly.

"It should be fine, right?"

To be honest, Natsu was a little unsure, but he saw that this demon was a bit like an octopus at the beginning, so he thought of the classic dish of grilled octopus.

"Delia is a dark race, she should be fine, but it's hard for ordinary people to say."

Xia thought about it for a while, but decided to find someone to give it a try.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are looking for us!"

Soon, in front of her, a trio of mages in the airship appeared.

They stood there with respectful faces, the male mage with the magic pointed hat with a few patches on it.

"There is an honorable task for you, are you willing?"

Xia hugged his shoulders, as if he was giving a lecture, and stood there with his legs crossed and said to the three of them:

"Maybe you'll get hurt, maybe you'll bleed, maybe you'll just have diarrhea...... Do you three have such a tragic realization? ”

"Yes!"

"For the sake of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I can give up my life!"

"Your Royal Highness, I love you......"

"-Die!"

"--Quickly kneel down and admit my mistake!"

The other two immediately pinned the male mage wearing the magic hat to the ground and beat him up, where he slapped and kicked and crackled.

"Alright, let's stop."

Xia looked at the three of them with some headaches and stopped the two mages.

"Your job is to ...... Eat those three pieces! ”

She held out her finger and pointed at the enticing scent of octopus meat from the fire.

……

"Whoa!"

Deria jumped out of the hole with the massive body of the Abyss Demon and placed it on the floor.

Originally, Raktoya's body was taller than this hall, and his body was very large; Although it has shrunk a lot after being defeated, it is still two stories high, and the flesh of the tentacles and head is even denser due to the violent contraction of the body before death.

After she put her things down, several warriors rushed from around and began to cut the huge octopus-like monster with the sword in their hands.

"President, this guy's body is so tough, and it's too big, I'm afraid we'll have to cut it for a long time."

A fighter came over gasping for breath and reported.

"Let me think about ......"

Xia stood beside Wendy, held her chin with her hand and thought for a while, and suddenly said to the werewolf princess who was shaking the water on her body:

"Deria, remember the four-winged demon's knife? Can you pick it up. ”

"That heavy knife, I'm easy to use."

Delia flicked her tail:

"But I don't really like weapons...... What's the matter, do you want me to bring it? ”

……

"Hmm!"

With a single sword, Deria sliced Laktoya's massive body in half.

"Oh!!"

"That's amazing!"

The soldiers next to him were stunned, and some of them who had been resting stood up from the ground and shouted in amazement.

"Excuse me...... I'll cut! ”

Delia slashed proudly again, the huge blade cut off a large piece of the mountain-like octopus meat like a guillotine, and her strength was used very skillfully, and the blade stopped immediately after cutting into the ground, without making any sound.

Natsu and Wendy watched the wolf girl play happily there, when Agnes flew over excitedly, holding a piece of potato cut in half.

"Sister Xia, I asked a guy to try it, and no poisoning reaction was detected for a long time, and this thing tastes very good, it can definitely be used as a substitute for staple food!"

"Well, I'm talking about it...... Ahem! My hometown is a very popular food, how can I not eat it? ”

Natsu and Agnes said some precautions when eating, and then Agnes flew back excitedly.

For some reason, Natyavida didn't come out with everyone this time, so some magical things had to be supervised by her, the great magician and alchemist.

"Hehe, the food problem should be solved now."

Xia said to Wendy, with an expectant look on her face:

Raktoya's body is so big, if you save a little, it will be enough for 200 people to eat for a while, plus the growth cycle of potatoes is short, and it should be even faster after being ripen with magic; In this way, I have solved the most troublesome problem of the student council president, and she has to praise me a few words, right?

"Yes, thank you...... Summer. ”

Looking at the lively crowd, Wendy had a smile on her face.

How long has it been since you've been on this island to see people so happy?

"That's it?"

Xia came over:

"I remember you owe me a hug."

"Thank you anyway."

Wendy ignored her words and continued:

"Actually, we have a lot of problems internally...... If you think about it, it's too many to count; If it weren't for your last speech, I'm afraid that the things that have accumulated would have exploded long ago. ”

She sighed softly:

"For example, this food crisis, even if we can defeat those monsters and find a way to escape, it only takes a few days, and hunger can defeat us all."

Hearing her words, Xia couldn't help but think of the cannibalism in the original plot, and shivered.

Human nature is well hidden many times and can only be revealed in extreme circumstances. It is not uncommon for a humble gentleman to be a man-eating monster when he is hungry.

"But now, we have at least half a month to a month of buffer time."

Wendy's eyes were filled with hope:

"Promise me, Natsu...... Please stay with me, help me, support me; In that case, maybe I'll ......"

Her voice suddenly lowered.

"Wendy?"

Seeing that she looked like she was about to fall asleep, Xia held her shoulder.

"Hehe......"

Wendy's hair drooped and let out a low laugh.

Her voice suddenly became coquettish at this moment.

I saw Wendy lean over slightly, exhaling a fragrant breath and saying:

"She's really happy right now, and maybe she'll make some tempting reciprocation for you...... But you seem to owe me something. ”

Her voice was full of seduction. Confuse:

"At two o'clock tonight, a man came to the back of the library...... As I said, I'll be looking for you soon. ”R1152
