"Cow? What does it look like?" Ishii was curious, pondering if Senju's description matched what she knew.
"It looks...well, four legs, has horns, and..." Senju struggled to articulate.
"Why not just take a picture with a camera?" Ishii, slightly perplexed by Senju's hesitation, inadvertently provided a simple solution.
"Why didn't I think of that? Just wait a moment," Senju exclaimed before hurrying back to the portal.
After entering the portal, Senju took out the camera he had placed inside and took pictures of the surroundings.
Strange rocks, radiant magma, and herds of cattle running from the portal to the other side—Senju observed this surreal scene.
He noticed a cow passing through the portal's light curtain without disappearing, remaining in the Nether.
Realizing the potential risk of a cow emerging and causing surprise, Senju decided to block the portal.
He constructed an iron hut around it to safeguard against any unexpected encounters.
Then he demolished all the netherrack on the road that were originally used to block the cattle, and many of the cows ran out of them.
After seeing this scene, he was very happy and hoped that one day he could see cattle in other places in the Nether...
(T/L: Wow, they'll never populate. I'm just imagining a lot of cooked steak lying around...)
After taking some more photos, Senju returned to the food production facility and handed the camera to Ishii, "These are the photos over there, take a look."
"Well..." Ishii said after looking at it for a while, she felt that the style of the Nether was really weird.
"These are really weird. Maybe this is hell. There are blood stains and lava everywhere, and there are demons everywhere."
"No, no, no, there is magma, but the ground is a dark red rock, not blood stains, and these are cows, not demons."
"Are these square things cows? It seems there is something wrong with the book," Ishii said, deep in thought.
"Those are square cattle, and the original ones here are round cattle." Senju had no choice but to name them randomly, lest Ishii start to doubt her life.
Ishii suddenly realized, "Oh, these are square oxen, so there are such animals."
"...Do you want to try some beef and milk?" Senju was speechless for a while, then he thought it would be better not to continue the discussion.
"Well, I'll take some milk. I haven't had milk in a long time."
Senju fetched a cup, filled it with milk, and handed it to Ishii. "I collected a lot; I'll give you two buckets later."
Ishii slowly drank the milk, and Senju also pulled out a piece of beef jerky to snack on.
After a while, the two glanced at each other. Senju sensed he had been there for quite some time, but after visiting the Nether, time felt disoriented, making it challenging to gauge how much had passed.
"Well, let's go back. Everything here has been dealt with, right?" Ishii spoke first and suggested that they go back.
"Okay, I don't know how their transformation is going. Let's go back now."
"Do you want to stay here?"
"Well, I'll just stay here. There's no shortage of obsidian anyway. Let's just stay here as an exit."
As they spoke, the two left here and came outside. Senju looked at the sun and saw that it had already gone down. "It's already afternoon. Time flies so fast."
"Well, it's three-twenty," Ishii took out her phone and looked at it.
After seeing it, Senju felt that he was too stupid and forgot that there was still time on it.
Senju decided to go back and learn how to adjust the time above accurately, so that he would not always think that the time above was inaccurate.
The two then took a helicopter back to the base. After Senju came down, he harvested the mature wheat in the field and planted it again.
After cutting down the tree, he planted another one, but this tree, Senju decided to keep. Here as a souvenir.
After Ishii surveyed the area for a while, she returned to the base accompanied by Senju.
Upon entering, they observed that the container house appeared to be completed, with Chito and Yuuri sitting nearby, taking a break.
"Is it finished? How does it look?" Senju inquired of the two resting individuals.
"Yeah, it's pretty much done. Come in and check it out, Senju," Chito lazily pointed at the container.
Senju discovered a door where she indicated. After a futile attempt to push it open, he decided to slide it to the side.
Upon entering, he noticed the interior was somewhat dim. Yuuri rushed over, saying, "Senju, there's a light inside. You can use this lever here to turn it on."
Senju looked in the direction Yuuri pointed. There were two lights hanging on the wall over there.
There were some wires around them, and there was a little gap in the middle.
After Senju flipped the lever up, he turned on the lights, and then he saw that everything inside has been welded.
At one end, two beds are arranged side by side with a gap in the middle.
On the side opposite the door, there's a table with drawers underneath for storage, accompanied by a few benches.
Moving further, a simple kitchen setup is visible, including a water tank above and a sink below.
Next to the sink, there's an empty shelf designated for the netherrack Senju mentioned.
Above it sits a stove and a square cauldron. At the other end, there's a bath with a curtain, currently not closed.
On one side of the door, there's a shelf with an empty space above, likely intended for storage, but it was currently bare.
After reading it, Senju unfolded a pile of quilts on the beds, then placed some bread, beef jerky, and a few drawings on the shelf.
Just as Senju was admiring his handiwork, Yuuri dashed to the shelf, grabbed the beef jerky, and after a moment of contemplation, swiftly devoured it. "Hmm! It's delicious! What is this?" she exclaimed.
"These are meat(beef). I found a lot of them."
"Is it meat? It's really delicious. Let Chii-chan have a try," Yuuri exclaimed, grabbing a handful of beef jerky and rushing out.
Senju had no choice but to add more jerky, placing some on the side along with taro. He also positioned netherrack beneath the iron box.
Upon exiting, the trio indulged in beef jerky and engaged in conversation. Ishii displayed the photos taken by Senju, which left them in awe.
However, Yuuri expressed the desire to catch these 'square cattle' and have them grilled, a notion Chito found rather unappealing.
Seeing the three people chatting happily, Senju went to the Nether through the portal here, and protected the portal there with cobblestones and nether bricks.
Then he went to collect some magma to prepare enough obsidian.
After Senju came out, he made obsidian outside, and then went to the Nether to collect magma.
After several trips, Senju got fifty pieces of obsidian before ending.
Looking at the sky outside, it was already evening, and Senju went back to prepare for dinner.
Although they had just eaten, Yuuri still complained that she was hungry.
