Chapter 18: Thousand Shadows, a Garbage Collector
Because yesterday, the guy who was a pedestrian suddenly became homesick, so much so that we all forgot to send the book to Chikage's house, and Chikage himself completely forgot about it because of such a thing, and he didn't bring it back directly when everyone came. For one reason or another, the pedestrians decided to send us over together after finishing work today, because Chikage had already sent an invitation saying that they were going to invite us to dinner.
I put away the photos I secretly took yesterday, and in the end I came up with a camera that took pictures of the girls' strange appearances, and when I left, everyone must give me a copy, which was so funny!
and the pedestrian Xiaoling walked towards Qianying's house, and saw a western-style mansion located on a cliff from a distance, like a rich man's seaside villa! Judging from the records I saw at the shrine, a small number of the original drifters were Europeans, which is why such European structures were built. It is said that there are really many talents among the people who drifted to the island at the beginning, and such houses have been built!
When I came to the gate of Chikage's house, a pedestrian stepped forward and knocked on the door, and I felt the ground tremble slightly, as if some large animal was approaching, and I decisively stepped back some distance. It turned out that I made the right choice, because the gate was violently opened by a standing elephant, and the unlucky pedestrians were directly slapped against the wall by the gate.
Calmly, there are even penguins on the island who teach me carpentry, and an elephant in an apron that looks like a maid, I am not the slightest surprised. But this island is really a paradise, and I can live in peace with animals to the point where I can agree that animals and humans are equal, and it seems that I have only seen it in the Dragon Ball world.
"This is Miss Hanako, the maid of the Thousand Shadows." Suzu introduced to the pedestrian who was pulled off the wall by the elephant Hanako: "I like to take care of others, and I have a temperament, and I am recognized as the first beautiful girl on the island!" ā
I'm also looking sideways when I hear this.,Anyway, Hanako's appearance is really cute.,It's really a beautiful girl in terms of animal aesthetics......
"Because sometimes the movements are not flexible enough,So occasionally get injured or something......" Before Suzu finished speaking, I saw Hanako accidentally falling, she fell down and nothing, the problem was that the pedestrian who was still in her arms just now was already a little dizzy......
Let us observe a three-second silence for the pedestrians of the Oriental Courtyard who died young. I crouched down to the pedestrian and asked him indifferently, "Do you have any last words to explain?" ā
"I... Iā" The pedestrian trembled and grabbed my clothes and said fiercely, "I'm not dead yet!" ā
....... Pretty Girl's Dividing Line........
The pedestrian, who had a small and strong physique, quickly recovered and could easily sit down and enjoy the black tea served by Hanako.
"I'm so sorry!" Hanako bowed and apologized embarrassedly.
"You don't have to worry about it, I'm used to it anyway." The pedestrian hurriedly waved his hand to show that he didn't care, but I was very concerned about what he was used to! Anyway, you're recovering too fast!? And it's just a little bit of a nose injury, it looks like it was still smashed by the door, and nothing else? Do you also have Saiyan blood??
"By the way, what about Chikage?" Obviously entertained us over, but he didn't come to greet him, and the pedestrians asked Hanako a little strangely. It's natural for him to communicate with animals now, and human habits are ......
Hanako thought that passers-by and I didn't have the ability to communicate with them as I did when I first came to the island, so she quickly wrote on a piece of paper, "She's cooking now, and she'll be over later." "Anyway, Miss Hanako's handwriting is really beautiful! Compared to pedestrians, there is simply no comparison! I've seen pedestrians write with a pen, and although it's pretty upright and level, it's missing a character. And Hanako's writing can tell you that she is a gentle person at a glance!
"Yay? Can Chikage cook? "If it's a pedestrian who asks like this, I'll ignore it, but if it's Suzu who shouts it, I'll have to be careful.
God knows what kind of food will come out later, although I will finish the food in order not to disappoint the girl, and I will not get sick or anything with my constitution, but I still hope to be able to eat good food! Because ordinary food can't fill my bottomless pit like a stomach at all, I have always eaten home-grown fairy beans, at least let me eat other things, and if I don't guarantee the amount, I have to guarantee the quality!
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Chikage pushed open the door and walked in, and I turned my head very sensitively, flashing the black tea sprayed by pedestrians along with nosebleeds.
The pedestrian's face was flushed, and he didn't know if he was shy or choked on the black tea just now, and pointed to Qianying, who was only wearing a pink apron, and stammered, "You... You... Why would you dress like this, Chikage?? "I'd love to tell him that whatever happens on this island, you should be calm and young, because it doesn't seem strange what happens on this island......
"Why?" Chikage looked at her dress strangely, and pulled the corners of her apron, and the pedestrian had already turned her head away from looking at her: "Because I'm cooking with Hanako, I'm wearing an apron..." I calmly picked up the teacup and slowly sipped the tea, saying that the black tea here tastes very good.
"I'm asking why you only wear an apron!" The pedestrian said speechlessly.
"Because the book says that it is right to wear an apron naked! Isn't that right? Qianying didn't know where to take out a book that seemed to be eighteen forbidden, and asked us seriously.
"Don't use that kind of book as a reference!!" The pedestrian roared loudly, in fact, I wanted to say that the above was really true, but I didn't open my mouth when I thought that I would be complained by the pedestrians. But then again, why are you so interested in those eighteen forbidden books? It seems that the same is true of the last cosplay illustrated book......
At the strong request of the passers-by, Chikage was a little unwilling to change into a standard maid outfit...... Don't you have normal clothes at home? This time, because it didn't stimulate the senses of passers-by, he didn't complain, but I wanted to complain instead. The reason why I didn't complain is not because I don't complain about girls, but I don't distinguish between objects! I was because I found an interesting person.
When Chikage came in after changing her clothes, a mature woman in a traditional kimono also walked in with her, and I would notice that she wasn't something I was attracted to and fell in love with at first sight. It's because I found that the other party's sense of existence is very low, and if you don't pay attention to it, it's difficult for ordinary people to find her! The lower her sense of existence I will notice, because I do not rely on my senses to distinguish the existence of others, but by qi!
You can imagine that people who are difficult to find in the five senses such as sight and taste are still like a bright light in the night in your mind, or 500 watts! It's hard to feel so awkward that people don't pay attention! Because this woman has a very strong qi existence! At least it's much stronger than the little bell!
Judging from her steps, slight movements, and subconsciously reducing her sense of presence, I probably guessed that the other party was a ninja who had been training for many years! But since people haven't mentioned it, I naturally won't stare at each other uninterestingly, just don't see each other! With this in mind, I noticed that the food made by Chikage was served and served.
Let's ignore the hamburgers that are obviously wrong in front of us, and the curry rice is quite level! At least pedestrians, the traditional Japanese, eat very happily, but Xiao Suzu forget it, she has never been able to eat spicy things, Miss Hanako is very intimate to prepare red beans for her. Anyway, everyone had a lot of fun.
During the meal, Chikage tells us that her hobby is studying things that have been washed away by the waves after a storm, and those inexplicable books are one of them. I was invited to come over with the pedestrian today to show us what kind of things she had collected and what they were used for, but I saw that she frequently looked at pedestrians, and I think she should want to study pedestrians the most! Because pedestrians and I are among the things that have been washed up on the island by the waves......
Most of the Western buildings have basements, and although the Thousand Shadows are built on the cliff, the basement is still built with several rooms, and there is no fear of the cliff collapsing.
We entered a large basement room full of books and some modern appliances.
"Here are some of the books and items I have collected, and our family was in charge of the books on the original ship, and these are only a small part." Chikage introduced us as she took a rice cooker off the shelf and asked the pedestrians curiously, "I picked this up yesterday, can you help me see it first?" ā
Ignoring the passers-by's introduction to Chikage and Xiaoling's introduction to modern household appliances, I began to look through the books in the room alone, saying that this island should be close to Japanese waters, because most of the books I saw on the shelves were Japanese books, such as the Eighteen Bans. And those scattered things in the room also have Japanese labels, which is said that the Japanese are really wasteful, and many things are not broken! But they've all been able to build an island out of garbage, so it's no surprise that these things would drift onto the island.
"Yay!? Can't be used!? Why!? "I was still flipping through the books, and the shouts of Suzu and Chikage came from the pedestrians, and I turned my head to look at them, as if they were shocked.
"Because, there is no electricity on this island!" The pedestrians were also taken aback by their appearance and explained: "In today's civilization, these things cannot be used without electricity. And these things may be bad, and no one will throw away the good things. ā
Thousand Shadows was devastated and said weakly, "So, these things are all ......"
"Well, it's all rubbish!" As the pedestrian finished speaking, the whole person of Chikage, who was completely defeated, turned white......
"You can't do anything without electricity, and the outside world is just that!" Xiao Ling sighed helplessly and said, it seems that she is also very curious about the outside world, and now she is very disappointed.
The pedestrian said embarrassedly: "I guess it is said that human beings have degenerated." ā
I shook my head and said lightly: "It's not that human beings have degraded, but that they have become accustomed to convenient work, and while human beings have evolved their own brains, their own environmental adaptability has deteriorated." "I feel that human beings are moving towards the evolutionary route of evolving their brains and then freeing their hands and feet, and this way of evolution is very deadly!
"I feel like you're a little adult!" Suzu covered her mouth and snickered.
...... "I hate this little kid's body right now!"
