Seeing Yuuri lying asleep, Senju realized he had nothing to do. He didn't feel like fishing, so after some thought, he decided to to put a crafting table in the hut.
He planned to finish it by tomorrow and then check if it was still there.
After placing the crafting table, Senju began checking what he could make.
For now, the tools made of iron were sufficient, while the ones made of diamonds were too precious to use carelessly. He decided to save them for enchantment in the future.
After rummaging for a while, he realized that all he could craft now was a lead, which required slime balls and string.
He knew it was useful, but for now it is completely useless. Looking at the nether quartz, he realized it could be crafted into quartz blocks, granite, diorite, and similar items, but those seemed completely wasteful at the moment.
After staring at the crafting table for a while, Senju realized there were still many things missing. Just as he sighed, Chito stepped out of the shower, dressed in a robe.
Her usual twin ponytails were loose, and she stood by the fire, drying her hair. Afterward, she placed the used towel on the shelf near the fire, intending to let it dry before reusing it.
"Are you done?" Senju asked as he handed over a glass of milk. He realized that Yuuri must have been too noisy earlier, causing him to forget to give her a glass of hot milk. It was only after seeing Chito that he remembered.
"Well, thank you." Chito said as she picked up the milk and began drinking it. "It's delicious... Yuu?"
"Zzz... zzz... zzz..."
"..."
"Huff... it seems that Yuu is already asleep, and I originally wanted to get some snacks for everyone," Chito said, glancing at the sleeping Yuuri with a hint of helplessness, Senju was also looking at Yuuri.
"Now I'll just have to save Yuuri's share for tomorrow."
"That's fine, but let's eat together tomorrow. For now, we should rest," Chito said after a moment of thought, her tone slightly hesitant. After speaking, she slipped under the quilt and adjusted Yuuri's sleeping position along the way.
Senju chuckled and headed off to take a bath. After finishing, he drained the hot water from the house and tended to the fire, leaving only one burning for warmth. With everything settled, he climbed into his bed and quickly fell asleep.
In the morning, Senju was woken up by the alarm clock. Since the cabin didn't offer a clear view of the outside, he had to rely on his phone to wake everyone up on schedule.
After turning off the alarm, he noticed that the two people beside him were still asleep, but there was an odd sound coming from somewhere...
Senju turned his head to look, only to find that Yuuri was holding Chito and licking her face repeatedly. While licking, Yuuri mumbled indistinctly, "I can't eat it anymore, it's so fragrant, hehehe."
Chito's forehead was furrowed, as if she was caught in a nightmare. After a moment, it seemed she had reached the most terrifying part of the dream. Her eyes began to flutter, and then she woke up with a start.
"I'm about to drown!" she gasped, realizing it had just been a dream.
She sighed in relief, but then felt something strange—someone was licking her. A cold sweat broke out on her as she looked around, only to see Senju (who was cupping his hands over his face, clearly laughing at her situation) watching her from from the side, leaving only Yuuri as the culprit.
A deep blush spread across her face, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Yuu! What are you doing?!" Chito turned, reached out, and pushed Yuuri's head back to prevent her from licking any longer, but Yuuri hugged her so tightly that she couldn't break free for a while.
However, as Chito pushed and shouted, Yuuri finally woke up, stretched her arms, and yawned, which allowed Chito to break free from her clutches.
"Good morning, Chito, Yuuri, it's morning now," Senju said, telling the two, who were still a little groggy. He then put on his coat and went over to start preparing breakfast.
However, Yuuri sat on the bed for a moment before speaking, "Did I eat last night? Well... probably not..."
Then Yuuri licked her tongue and muttered, "But there's a strange taste in my mouth. Is this what I ate? I don't remember it at all."
Chito next to her blushed, grabbed the pillow and smacked it at her, "Baka! Baka!"
*Thwomp* *Thwomp* *Thwomp*
"I'm sorry, Chii-chan! I won't steal food again!" Yuuri exclaimed, seeming to accidentally expose herself.
"Didn't you say that- wait, you stole food?" Only then did Chito react, and Yuuri also reacted, whistling there, "What are you talking about, Chii-chan we are about to eat." Said Yuuri trying to change the subject.
"Hmph, I'll spare you this time, but next time, I won't be so lenient," Chito said, then started putting on her coat, leaving Yuuri standing there with a confused expression and a bunch of question marks floating around her head.
"???"
Senju's breakfast was simple—milk, bread, and steak. Normally, it wouldn't be such a hearty meal, but to make up for Yuuri, Senju decided that everyone would have a better breakfast.
After warming the milk in hot water, he roasted the bread and beef for a while, then sliced the beef and placed it on an iron plate.
(T/L: Huh, I did not know that was a thing.)
At this time, the two beside him finished getting ready and went outside to check the car before coming back.
After each of them had a glass of hot milk, the three of them took the bread and ate the beef with forks.
After eating, the three of them packed some of the things they needed into their backpacks.
Chito filled a jug with water and then took some food from the food rack to have for the day.
Seeing that everyone was ready, the three of them went outside. Senju stored the cabin and netherrack in his inventory.
However, after stepping out of the warm room, they all felt a little uncomfortable. Although the snow had stopped, the cold still lingered in the air.
After moving for a while, the three of them felt more comfortable, then sat in the car and headed in the direction next to them.
Maybe it's in the right direction, but after a few hours of progress, they noticed a huge building in the distance, and from here, it seemed to be connected to the top, so everyone decided to go that way.
However, the distance on the road is also very long, and after walking for a while, the building still has not changed much, and the three of them decided to rest for a while.
After the three of them took turns drinking a little water, Senju distributed food to everyone. As they rested, they continued discussing the building.
"It doesn't look like a pillar, it's not in the right shape, what the hell is it?"
"Senju, could it be that the pillar that connects it above? It looks huge."
"Well, it's possible, but it's still too big," Senju looked at the building, and from here, he could see that one side was sloping, and the other side was extending to the other, and the whole looked-
Like a trapezoidal building.
After discussing for a while, the three of them continued on their way. By evening, they spotted more buildings in the distance, and it seemed to be a massive structure as well.
A pillar was visible, attached to it.
Although the pillars appeared thin from where they stood, everyone knew this was the road leading up to the top.
They rushed toward the road, but they still couldn't reach it. The broken road surface halted their progress, so they decided to rest for the night. They planned to explore the building and search it again tomorrow.
