Chapter 30: Common Sense?

"Hey, everyone, the soup is ready," Yuuri shouted as she watched the pot begin to boil, "Come over and eat quickly."

"Yuu, this guy is still so energetic," Chito stood up, patted his gloves, and walked over, "Yuu, what kind of food is tonight?"

"It's stew. It's delicious." Yuuri held up the pot to show off to her, and then divided the stew into their respective cups, with some fish meat in each cup.

Senju came over after tidying up the campfire. Seeing that there was still a lot of bread in his inventory, he took out three loaves and said, "There is still bread."

"Really, that's great," Yuuri was very happy, but Chito was a little worried,

"Is it really okay to eat as much as you want every day? You won't end up with insufficient food, right?"

"Chii-chan is really happy with the meal, don't mind her." Yuuri muttered while chewing the bread. Chito blushed, "It's so noisy!"

"It's okay. As long as you have time, you can get fish and bread at any time." Senju reassured them.

"Oh, it's so reliable. It's a good thing we brought Senju with us from the beginning. What should I call you, Ju-chan?"

(T/L: Ok so, not gonna fix my mistakes, gonna mark them as my newbie experience. Apperantly Yuuri hasn't made a nickname for Senju, in past chapters...)

"Oh, Yuu, what are you thinking about? The book says that boys are called 'kun', and Senju should be called Jun-kun."

*Slurp*" Huuwahh, so delicious," Yuuri drooled while slurping the fish soup.

Senju quickly waved her hand, "Please forgive me quickly. You can call me by my name directly or even 'Jun-kun', just not Jun-chan..."

"I see" Chito said and started eating.

After eating, Chito and Yuuri went to maintain their vehicles and rifles as usual.

Senju's rifle also relied on Yuuri for maintenance. He originally thought that it would be fine as long as it could be used.

Only after seeing Yuuri's maintenance and adjustments did he realize that this was the case. There are so many problems, no wonder the hit rate has been very low.

Senju was sitting by the campfire, adjusting the fire and watching Yuuri's movements.

After taking the gun apart, she wiped every part clean and applied oil, then reassembled it, adjusted the sight, and a series of other adjustments.Senju was dazzled by the movements.

After a while, Chito also came over after checking the vehicle, holding a diary in her arms, "Senju, can you continue teaching me how to read?" She asked, slightly shy.

"Okay, what will I teach you today? Let's teach you how to recognize numbers."

Senju thought for a while and felt that numbers were the easiest to learn. Chito was a little confused, "Numbers?"

"Yes, there are numbers on many signboards. You can also write numbers, so it will be easy to learn by comparing them. You can first write one to ten using the words you know."

Chito wrote ten strange words in her notebook and read them to Senju one by one. Senju wrote two kinds of numbers below, Chinese ones.

(T/L: Remember this is a Chinese fic and Senju is Chinese, the other reason I translated this was because this hasn't had any... patriotic... mentioning(?). Basically wasn't bashing on Japanese culture(or any culture), praising anything Chinese related 24/7...)

Numbers and Arabic numerals, "These are the two corresponding numbers that I see often here."

"Oh, I've seen this before. It turns out to be six." Chito pointed at six and recognized it. "There are really many, but why are there so many kinds? One kind is so convenient."

"There are various needs. Sometimes several numbers are used to ensure accuracy. You should remember these two first."

"Oh, I will definitely remember it." After Chito said that, she started to learn it silently. After a while, Yuuri came over, "Here, your gun."

When Senju was trying to use his own gun, Yuuri noticed that Chito was muttering something in a low voice, but seeing her serious expression, she didn't dare to go over and interrupt her, so she asked Senju in a low voice, "Hey, what's Chii-chan mumbling about?"

"She's learning number."

"number?"

"Yes, Yuuri, do you want to learn?"

"Haha, Chii-chan and Jun-kun will be enough," said Yuuri, patting the wooden board, "By the way, what kind of material is this? I've never seen it before."

"This is a wooden board, made from trees."

"Tree?" Yuri could only understand one word, "What a strange thing."

"Yes, humans often used trees to make things in the past, but most of the things that remain today are made of metal and various artificial materials, and there are very few made from trees."

"So that's it. I seem to have seen this kind of thing in the past, but the color is a little different." Yuuri took off her gloves and touched the floor with confusion.

"That's because there are many types of trees, and they have different colors and smells." Senju also sighed a little, but he had never seen any wooden products before.

"I see," Yuuri was a little disappointed again, "Why are they gone now?"

Senju doesn't know the answer to this, but maybe it's caused by human needs.

(T/L: I can think of so many...)

After a while, the campfire's fire gradually dwindled down. After Senju threw some scraps in, he took out a quilt and spread it on the floor. "I'm going to bed first. You guys should go to bed early. Put out the fire when both of you are about to sleep."

"Why? I want to be warmer," Yuuri was a little unhappy, but Senju still explained it to her, "These wooden boards are as easy to burn as those organic wastes. I don't want to wake up in a sea of ​​fire..."

"Yes, I understand," Yuuri agreed, then she hugged her quilt and spread it on the floor like Senju, and then fell asleep there.

Seeing Yuuri sleeping, Senju looked at Chito next to her. She nodded to express her understanding. Senju then felt at ease and fell asleep under the quilt.

Chito kept a diary for a while, added some fuel to the fire pit, and fell asleep next to Yuuri.

When he woke up in the morning, Senju was still a little confused, but he soon woke up.

After putting away the quilt, he saw the two girls next to him sleeping soundly. Senju went out to take a look outside.

Although the sky outside was not sunny, but it didn't snow either, and it was a good day for traveling.

Back in the house, Senju began to prepare breakfast, putting some military ration in a pot and cooking it. After a while, Chito and Yuuri were also woken up.

"Good morning, Senju, you got up so early." Chito sat up and stretched, "What are we gonna eat for breakfast?"

"I'm trying to see if I can cook the dry food into porridge to make it taste better."

"What is porridge? Is it delicious?" Yuuri was also very confused, and it was a food she had never heard of.

"It's like putting rice in water and cooking it."

"Oh, it turns out to be rice. It's strange. Why is it called porridge?"

"Because the materials are different, porridge can be made from various foods. Rice is one of them."

"Is that so, Chii-chan?"

"Well, it was said in the book that people in the past had many kinds of food to eat. For example, the military rations we eat were made from potatoes." Chito took out a bag of military rations and pointed out the words on it to Yuuri.

"Really, I didn't expect there are so many different foods. I really want to eat them all."
