Chapter 17: A Tree shaped...Squared?

"It should be an ancient plant. The book said that there were many trees in the past, but they are gone now," Chito explained while eating her grilled fish beside her. "The fruit is probably a food of ancient people, just like what we're eating . It tastes just like the fruit-flavored wheat seeds we've eaten before."

"Ahem, I will show you the tree later. Let me tell you a story first. There was a person who gained powerful abilities after eating this fruit."

(T/L: Huh does anybody know what this is? From the word 'Kaguya' this must be the backstory of the anime "Naruto" right? Where chakra was originally... Or was it something else? Hmm or is it One Piece?)

Senju adapted the ninja version of Kaguya's story and told it. They came out, but looking at their confused looks, it was clear that they had no idea what some of the words meant, but they just intrigued by it.

After Senju finished speaking, he picked up the grilled fish and ate it. After a while, Yuuri said, "In other words, eating the fruit will make you a very strong person. Senju, have you ever eaten the fruit?"

"Of course, I've eaten a lot." Unfortunately, the meanings of the two people's words were completely different. After finishing the grilled fish, Yuuri clamored to see what the tree looked like. Chito was also looking forward to it, they haven't seen what plants look like.

Senju had no choice but to run aside, then dug a hole in the ground, put a piece of soil on it, and then placed a birch tree sapling on it. Two people ran over to watch, "It turns out that the tree is like this. It's so small." "and it's also white, completely different from what I heard."

"Back away, what I'll do next might be dangerous, so back off." After Senju pulled the two away, he sprinkled two pieces of bone meal on the sapling.

The sapling instantly turned into a low tree, with square leaves filling the surrounding two sides. In the three-meter area, the top is also connected to the roof. Only some space is left below, and the white square tree trunks can be seen.

Chito and Yuuri circled around this strange tree, and Yuuri took a few photos. Chito carefully recorded it in her diary.

"The tree is a white and green plant. It's square, the circular shape in the book is totally wrong."

(T/L: Hehehe)

Seeing the two girls reactions, Senju broke out in a cold sweat, wondering whether he should tell them the truth, but after thinking that the current tree was indeed square, he stopped saying it. Anyway, the trees in the future will be square.

After seeing the two of them admiring the trees, Senju took out an ax and started chopping wood. Yuuri quickly stopped him, "What are you doing? It's such a beautiful tree, why are you destroying it?"

"First of all, I need these wood, and secondly, I'm helping them grow more," Senju pointed at the saplings that just fell out and said nonsense, but his words, Yuuri felt she was being deceived, "Really? Ohh! What's that red thing?"

"Red thing? Could it be an apple?" Senju turned around and saw a red apple on the ground. He went over to pick it up, "Apple... golden apple... enchanted golden apple, sadly I can't do it now. I'll give it to you, Yuuri. This fruit is delicious."

"Really? Is this a 'fruit'?" Yuuri was stunned for a while while holding the apple, and then ran over to offer the treasure to Chito, "Chii-chan, look at this, with this you can gain a superpower after eating it , Chii-chan, please eat it quickly."

"What? Whoa, it turns out to be an 'apple'," Chito said carefully.

After identifying the fruit, she recognized it, "This is a fruit that ancient people often ate. Yuu, let's it it together . Senju, please come and have a taste."

"No need, I've eaten a lot before, you can eat it," Senju continued to chop down trees, but Yuuri was a little disappointed, "What, is it just ordinary food? Let me take a bite out of it" she said as she was about to bite it, but that was just an act to scare Senju, and then she stuffed the apple into Chito's hand, "Let's eat together, Chii-chan."

While the two of them were eating the apple, Senju finished cutting all the leaves and trunks, and obtained three saplings and four pieces of birch wood. After replacing the soil on the ground with concrete blocks, Senju finally thought of what he had missed.

'Instead of stones and wood, I should make a more convenient item for myself. A lever!' Senju thought carefully.

Thinking of this, he started making levers. He didn't need the help of a crafting table to make the levers. After rummaging through his inventory, there were only three cobblestones left. After a few times, he made three levers. Looking at the levers in his hand, he was confused. Like rebuilding a car that's more convenient.

Just when he was about to show off the items in his hands to the two of them, he saw the two of them looking at him eagerly, "Senju, are there any more apples?"

It seemed that the apple just now had a big impact on them. They had never imagined that there was such a food in the world. It was completely different from what they had eaten before. However, Senju was eager to show off the lever in his hand, "No more, but look this..."

"What? It's gone. Chii-chan, drink some water and let's go to bed." Yuuri pulled Chito to the side. Senju suddenly thought of a serious question - can the pull rod and the mine cart move together? .

Thinking about it, he started experimenting. First, he made a mine cart with a few iron ingots. After placing the cart on the ground, Senju found that he couldn't control the direction. He couldn't lay rails on the road in the future. Thinking of this, he I was a little discouraged. The inside of the minecart was obviously very spacious, and he could've layed down in it, but it wasn't possible because he couldn't control the direction.

Looking at the small space in the house, Senju decided to modify it and use it again.

After the two girls next to him drank some water, they went back to the car to sleep together.

After Senju looked at the two sleeping, he went out to feel the temperature. It was still very cold inside the factory. The sound of wind outside also reached here. It seemed that the wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger. six nine four nine three six one three five.

(T:L - I honestly do not know what the numbers were supposed to be)

After returning to the house and checking the surrounding torches, he found that there was no problem. The campfire and electric stove were also emitting heat. Senju felt relieved. He had nothing to do and spread his quilt next to the campfire. After flipping the lever there for a while, he fell asleep. In his dream, he saw himself sitting on a mine cart and flying around.

When Senju woke up in the morning, he saw Chito and Yuuri just coming back from outside. According to them, the wind and snow outside had not stopped yet, and they would stay here for a few days, so they just took advantage of the time to clean up the interior of the factory and explored it.

After thinking for a while, Senju agreed. Although there seemed to be plenty of food now, even if he was just fishing, he would still consume the fishing rods durability made of wood and thread. In the future, he didn't know how long it would take to find food again. Of course, he couldn't let it go. Not a chance.

After the three of them ate some rations and hot water, Senju took away everything he could except the house. He also enlarged the door, but he didn't bother to dismantle the rest, so he left it behind. He made it a souvenir here.

After Yuuri took a photo, they left the house and started exploring the factory.
