"Phew --- you can calm down for a while, now we have to find a way to survive until the ability is restored, or someone will come to search and rescue." Katsu rubbed his temples and said helplessly to Kaguya who was powerless and furious over there with a giant bump on her head.
Yuzuru who just arrived sneered at Kaguya's pain making the two become hostile to each other.
He still has his power, but he doesn't know which direction to go back and is also worried that when traveling carrying the twin will be a burden for him when DEM manages to track him and used this chance to attack him.
The twin situation is more vulnerable since the others spirit power is only half seal by him while the twin is completely block of their power even ordinary weapon can harm them.
"Hmm--" It seemed that Katsu's words had worked, and Kaguya really stopped, looked at Katsu, and said in a low voice, "But, there is no spiritual power..."
"Confirm; I don't have any spiritual power, no survivor skill and the chance of my sister having it is also zero."
"Tsk, don't talk about frustration before you start." Katsu interrupted what Kaguya and Yuzuru wanted to say, and then said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'm still good at survival in the wilderness and so on, so follow my words, at least there is no pressure to live."
"Well..."
...
Standing on the beach by the sea, Katsu raised his head and squinted his eyes, looked at the position of the sun in the sky, and whispered to himself: "It's about three or four o'clock now..."
After pondering for a while, Katsu turned his head to look at Yuzuru and said, "We have to build a temporary shelter quickly. After all, in this kind of primeval forest, even if you sleep on a tree, you have to be careful not to be bitten by poisonous snakes... ..."
"Affirmative; how to do it?" Yuzuru nodded obediently. It can be seen that Yuzuru took Katsu's words to heart. She is more mature than her sister and knows fully well how dire her situation is.
Katsu glanced at the ocean in front of him and the sandy beach under his feet then looked at the virgin forest behind him, and then sighed: "It seems that we have to build in the forest. Although this area is more suitable, it will be at night when the tide rises. There is a high probability will be submerged..." As he spoke, Katsu had already started to walk into the forest.
Seeing this, Yuzuru and Kaguya followed subconsciously, and before they knew it, she took the trees as the backbone.
Among the woods, Katsu found a relatively spacious open space surrounded by four trees, and then said to Kaguya in a deep voice: "Collect more vines, as long as possible."
"Oh." Kaguya and Yuzuru nodded, without asking the reason, turned around and followed Katsu's request to look for vines.
Katsu looked at the two back, and a strange flash of light flashed in his eyes. How did they get along so fast?
"Forget it, the most urgent thing is to fix the resting place..." As he said that, Katsu also began to look for vines, but he didn't let go of some branches and dry grass that he saw in the process.
And about an hour later, when Katsu returned to the open space again, there was already a large pile of vines, some of which were collected by Kaguya and Yuzuru, and some of which were collected by himself, but looking at the competitive eyes between the two they may already challenge each other to collect vines so at the moment they look very tired from exhausting all the strength.
Katsu squatted down and picked up a long enough vine and collapsed it twice in his hands. After confirming that the toughness was quite good, he began to use vines to surround the four trees surrounding the open space.
Kaguya looked at Katsu's operation curiously, and asked a little strangely, "What are you doing?"
Hearing Kaguya's question, Katsu didn't get a chance to answer. Yuzuru quickly uses the chance to mock Kaguya saying, "Stupid; He is making a fence to prevent wild beasts from attacking at night."
"Oh ---" Hearing this, and looking at Katsu's operation, Kaguya instantly understood his intention.
Kaguya seemed to feel a bit embarrassed to be taught by her sister and suddenly said: "Well, is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Huh?" Katsu was slightly taken aback when he heard Kaguya's voice and said "Sorry, I'm used to being alone in the wild, and I forgot that you were still here... But if you help... Do you know how to hunt? Or look for wild vegetables? Of course, it's okay if you can make a fire."
"...I am going to find water." Before Katsu finished speaking, Kaguya interrupted quickly. Except for the non-technical matter of finding water, what Katsu said was impossible for her to do but Yuzuru still knows some basic knowledge so she quickly takes the role of making fire.
Hearing this, Katsu shrugged his shoulders, didn't say much, and continued to work hard.
Yuzuru had never once done this before like a normal human so she struggle to rub the two sticks. He quickly takes control of her hands and teaches her to put them at a 45-degree angle and rub them.
After a few tries finally create a little coal so he quickly gather the fiber he collected and lit up the fire.
"Next time just use more force"
"Convinced; thank you for helping me Katsu"
Yuzuru rub her hands that Katsu just held and squeeze out a small thanks hiding her red face.
In this way, more than an hour passed, and the sun in the sky obviously sank a lot, the vine fence was almost two meters high, and the open space inside was covered with hay and leaves. I moved my body, which was a little sore from repeating a movement for a long time.
He did have powers that can help him do the job easier but through hardship can they become closer and solved their issue.
When Katsu was "watching the sky", Kaguya, who had been looking for water more than an hour ago, came back. She came to Katsu with some embarrassment, and said in a very strong voice: "I didn't find it..."
"..." Katsu's mouth twitched, and then seeing Kaguya's guilty expression, he couldn't help sighing, and comforted him: "It's okay, and I neglected that you are not much different from ordinary girls if you don't have spiritual power. This point... It's dangerous for you to walk alone in this kind of primeval forest --- I'll go find it with you, and try to find wild game or wild vegetables and berries by the way. Yuzuru guard the place while I and Kaguya find water"
...
However, after more than ten minutes, Katsu, who had found nothing, frowned deeply: "It shouldn't be - it's fine if you don't find wild vegetables and berries, but in this kind of primitive forest, it is impossible to have no water source - it is really our luck is too bad..."
Katsu rubbed his temples, looking troubled thinking if he should finally use his power, then sighed, looked at Kaguya and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"No... not hungry!" Kaguya said loudly, but just after he finished speaking, Katsu heard a soft "Gu~~"
"..." Kaguya's face turned red immediately, and he loudly defended herself, "No...uh"
"You don't have spiritual power. Forget it... Let's go grab some seafood, water sources, etc., and figure out a way tomorrow. After dinner, we have to rest and conserve our strength That's fine." Katsu said helplessly with his eyelids drooping.
Speaking of which, Katsu's proposal to catch seafood despite having the other animal he killed at the start because the sea had already started to rise so catching some other's food won't hurt.
...
When Katsu and Kaguya came to the beach, the sea had already started to rise.
As we all know, the seaside is the easiest time to catch seafood when the tide starts to rise and when the tide reaches its lowest point.
Therefore, more than a dozen large and small crabs were caught, and two slightly disgusting squids were also picked up...
However, when he took the things back to the temporary residence built by Katsu, the problem appeared again, that is, the problem of taste.
...
As time passed, the sun sank to the west, and the evening sky was dyed a fascinating purple. Against the background of the setting sun, the sea in the distance looked charming and lonely.
Woo~! Woo!
The deafening roar of the siren broke the silent ocean, like the prelude of the stars falling into the mortal world and the setting sun sinking into the horizon.
While the students were admiring the beautiful scenery, Shidou had been sitting alone on the shore looking at the boundless sea in a daze for more than an hour.
Just as he was about to stand up and leave with a dejected expression, a figure jumped at him
The visitor's very long, dark-purple hair stared straight at Shidou, without any prelude, and said in an anxious tone, "Where is Katsu? Can you contact him?"
Looking at the anxious Tohka he doesn't know how to tell her the news"..."
Suddenly, drop from the sky Ellen and other DEM members surrounded Katsu and Tohka.
