After entering the urban area, Yao's group found a relatively shady small shop, locked the door of the wide-open shop, and temporarily stayed there.
Through the team function, he has long noticed the fluctuating team points, which also indicates that the other team is in a hard battle.
"Yao-kun, did something happened to Eriri and the others?" Seeing that he was silent, Sayuri's heart immediately hung high.
"It's nothing serious." Yao unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip. Although the situation of the team members is still unclear, there is no need to worry too much.
Even worrying is useless, you can only wait for the result, it is better to calm down.
Shiina chewed a bread in small mouthfuls, her eyes turned back and forth between Yao and Sayuri.
Seeing this, Yao asked her with a faint smile: "Is the bread delicious?"
"tasty."
"How does that compare to breakfast and lunch?"
"Hmm..." Shiina put down the bread in her hand, and answered with a serious expression after thinking for a while, "It's all delicious."
Sayuri, who was worried about the safety of the other team members, was amused by her answer, and her mood eased a lot, "Shiina, don't be too greedy, you can only choose one."
"Then bread."
Saying so, Shiina Mashiro directly stuffed the remaining food into her mouth, chewing like a hamster, for fear that the food in her hand would be confiscated if she was a few seconds late.
"that..."
An extremely weak voice sounded, and the three stood up quickly, their eyes fixed on a corner of the store.
"Squeak."
The cabinet was opened quite a bit, and a woman with skinny collarbones and disheveled hair came into view.
The woman swallowed hard and stared at the bags of bread and water under Shiina's feet.
After a while, she begged in a hoarse voice, "Can I have something to eat, please?"
Seeing her pitiful and miserable appearance after being hungry for several days, Sayuri could not bear it, but she suppressed her inner sensibility, looked at Yao together with Shiina, and asked for his opinion.
"Get ready to go after eating." Yao sat down again with a blank expression.
"Oh." After Shiina replied, she also sat down. Although it looks pitiful, but since Yao said so, she will listen to Yao.
Seeing that both of them had expressed their views, Sayuri sighed helplessly in her heart, and sat down in silence.
The woman sat limply on the ground, her eyes gradually dimmed, she stared at them motionlessly, her consciousness fell into a trance.
When she woke up again, the whole store was pitch black, and the bright moonlight shone directly on a certain corner through the skylight.
Looking at the food and water on the floor, she slowly crawled over, weeping with joy, her face was wet with tears, and she kept saying "thank you" in an inaudible voice.
…
"I thought you, Yao-kun, would not leave any food for her."
Looking at his back, Sayuri smiled softly, it seems that she just misunderstood, this man is not cold-hearted.
"Since there is no threat, it's okay to give her some food." Yao replied casually, and then focused on the system space. Seeing the note of "safety", I felt a lot better.
After relaying the news to Sayuri and Shiina, the three started searching for means of transportation again.
…
The afterglow of the evening fell on the earth, the hot air became much cooler, and the smoke rose up and drifted towards the distant sky.
"Yao and mom, why haven't they come back yet?"
Standing outside the house, Eriri looked into the distance, circling anxiously from side to side.
"By the way, why do you insist on dragging me out to wait?" Utaha crossed her arms and said expressionlessly, "Didn't the captain leave a message before? Why are you so careless?"
"But after we came back, Yao didn't reply to the message I left!" Eriri bit her lip, feeling confused.
Although she knew that with Yao's strength, it was absolutely impossible for anything to go wrong, but she still couldn't help worrying.
If something happened, she would lose her two favorite people. Thinking of the worst situation, how could she rest assured and sit comfortably at home.
Seeing her eagerness and walking back and forth non-stop, Utaha felt a little impatient, and complained angrily, "You have only been separated from the captain for less than half a day, and we haven't been back for long. Are you so impatient for 'that'?"
"You!" Eriri was taken aback for a moment, then understood what she meant, she showed her little canine teeth angrily, and wrestled with her.
"Ugh... let me go... I can't breathe!"
Eriri, who was subdued, let out a dull sound of begging for mercy, shaking her hands and feet wildly.
"The washboard is really just a washboard, so weak." Utaha had a happy expression, and hugged her head tightly to her chest, increasing her strength from time to time, "How is it, is it comfortable?"
"..."
Eriri's hands and feet fell limply, as if she had given up resistance.
"Ah!" Utaha blushed, and hurriedly pushed her away, with anger in his eyes, "You bitch...!"
"Hey." Eriri smiled triumphantly, pursed her mouth a few times deliberately, and puffed up her chest, "It's really comfortable, and the taste is very good."
"You still have the guts to say it!"
Utaha's face darkened, and when she was about to teach her a lesson, she was distracted by the sound of a car in the distance.
Not long after, a black car and a motorcycle appeared in their eyes.
"The person you've been thinking about is back." Utaha glanced at her arch-enemy with a smile on her face, then turned and went back to her room.
Yao also noticed eriri, and couldn't help showing a helpless smile, she was a bit too clingy, but he didn't hate it.
When the two cars arrived at the door at the same time, Eriri was about to give him a hug, but after seeing the person sitting him on the motorcycle, her expression became a little annoyed.
"Yao, are we home?" Shiina rubbed her heavy eyelids, and let go of the hand holding his waist.
"Well, get down first." Yao nodded, ready to drive into the house.
"Yao hug me." Shiina rubbed her face against his back.
"It's enough!"
It was Eriri, who couldn't bear to see it any longer, walked over angrily, and carried her out of regardless of her struggle.
"Heh." Yao shook his head dumbfounded, and drove the motorcycle into the house.
"Eriri has really grown up and knows how to take care of her sister." Sayuri said to herself with a smile, and then drove the car into the house.
"Hey..."
Hearing her mother's teasing, several black lines appeared on Eriri's forehead, but seeing Shiina who was at a loss, she could only sigh helplessly.
