The systems level 0 start up set.
An obsidian blade, a box full of Flintstones, an animal skin blanket, a too basic first aid kit and some seasonings like salt etc, in a small container. That's all that was given to him and it came in an animal skin bag. At least the bag had 10 cubic meters of space, yay.
Look, it's not like he wasn't greatful that he had help in a wild land such as this, It just sad that it felt so small right now. It would be great if the system could be more active. But the system just played dead when he complained.
Mika really thought the system was trying to frustrate him but really Mahlia was trying her best to get into her new role. She was not a system ai but a battle one, she was adjusting too.
Mikael looked at the burnt meat on the stick he'd placed on the fire to cook. He took it off to eat but he got burned by the heat instead. His absentmindedly touched it directly with his hand causing his hand to get brunt.
Kinnai, who had been watching him cook came over to his side when he saw him get hurt and put mika's burnt hand on his own, brought it close to his face to see if he was hurt badly.
" You should be more careful with fire small male. Fire is not to played with. " he said out of care and worry. He then moved mika's hand to his mouth. Intending to lick his small wound.
Mika saw what he about to do and took his hand out of kinnais' in a flustered panic. He found that the man just wanted to help but was not going to let him put his hand ( mika's hand ) in his mouth.
"Am fine, thank you for your concern." he said moving away a little from kinnai with a red face.
' How could he be so shameless with a ger? Wait, have this man not been naked all this while? He probably has no shame. ' Mika thought.
"Host, your system mission is here. It is to get close to your roommate the beastman. The system would give you a 1-10 point evaluation on how you do it, how he responds to you and how well you two get along. The coins from the mission well be given accordingly to the points you get. Good luck. "
Mika froze in shock at the mission prompt. He wanted a mission so he could get his hands on things but was this not a bit much? How to become close to someone you can't understand?
" Oh, there is a time limit of a week." the system added.
"Yes thanks for the heads up." Mika said sarcastically and loudly. Which earned him a strenge look from kinnai who was now sitting next to him and holding his hand again to check it.
Mika looked at the bear turned man next to him and wondered were to start getting on his good side. He took his hand back for the second time and moved a little to the side again.
His eyes went back to the meat he was going to eat and turned to look at the man beside him.
"I've only seen him eat raw meat so he should like this right?" he said as he looked at the brunt meat.
Kinnai saw Mika reach out for the hot meat again and took it before he could. Mika turned and looked at him in puzzlement and annoyance, but kinnai ignored the look and pealed the burnt outer layer of the meat off.
He held and let it cool in his hands and then gave Mika a piece of the now warm not hot meat.
Mika was shocked at the act of him holding the hot meat to cool it down and looked at his hands instead of taking the meet that was handed to him.
Kinnai noticed his concern and showed him his unhurt hand. The heat from the meat was not enough to harm his rough hands.
Besides, he walked on all fours for so long it would be a great shame to him if his Hands were so delicate to such things.
Kinnai smiled and gave the meat to Mika again, this time Mika took and ate it. After the first bite, all the hunger that he pretended was not too much to bear came back.
Mika had eaten more than half of the large unevenly cooked meat before he realized it.
Lifting his head in shame, his eyes meet the amused ones of kinnai. Mika's face went red as he glared at the man and shoved a piece of meat into his mouth to distract him from his embarrassment.
"This is good. What did you put in it?" kinnai asked as he ate the meat.
His got no response from the small male and remembered they spoke different languages. He was going to try and get his point across in another way when another piece of meat was put into his mouth.
