8 Chapter 8: Delicious Bread

"Yes, but some were eaten by Yu, so that's all we have." Chito sheepishly took out a small bag, and then asked, "Is this 'wheat'? What a strange plant. From my knowledge and the books I have read about plants,it looks completely different."

"Well, this is a special variety I cultivated." Senju was silent for a moment after setting up the workbench, then took the bag and looked at it. There were more than a dozen wheat in it, and he still had some on his body.

"Since there are three of us, then I'll just make six bread." Senju said and then stared at the work bench.

(T/L: Work bench = Crafting table)

Senju put the wheat on the crafting table, and the three wheat turned into a loaf of bread. After a while, six loaves were made. He handed the prepared loaves to Chito and saw her stunned. Just standing there in a daze.

"Here, this bread is the proper way to enjoy wheat," remarked Senju, as the freshly baked loaves filled the air with a tempting aroma. Chito couldn't resist grabbing a piece, and even Yuuri, dozing beside her, was lured in by the scent, inching closer.

After receiving the bread, Chito was still in a daze. After a while, she recovered from the surprise. She looked at the bread and then at the crafting table, still in a daze and not knowing what to say.

"Is this bread? How on earth is it made? Shouldn't there be a lot of steps to make it? It's completely different from what's in the book, absolutely different!", said Chito with bewilderment.

"Chii-chan, what are you holding? It looks delicious." Yuuri, who was awakened by the smell, immediately saw the bread in Chito's hand, and a trace of saliva drooled from the corner of her mouth, but she immediately noticed the person next to her.

Then her expression immediately changed to an indifferent one, she raised the gun and pointed it at the Senju.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Answer me quickly!", Yuuri said in a monotonous voice. Not hesitating to shoot if the person infront of her tries anything funny.

Senju was petrified by this sudden situation and felt his whole body stiffen. He didn't know what to do. The extreme fear made him lose the ability to think.

"You idiot! Put your gun down!" Chito went up and gave Yuuri a smack on the head. Yuuri crouched down with a pained expression and put down the gun in her hand to rub her head. Then Chito apologized to Senju, "I'm sorry, Yu just woke up. That's all."

At this time, Yuuri was still rolling around on the ground and yelling, "It's too much, Chii-chan, but if you give me the delicious food on your hand, I will forgive you." After saying that, he sat there and blinked. Looking at Chito.

(T/L: Changed "Xiaoqian" to "Chii-chan")

As if she didn't heard her words, her whole posture is be very cute. She was half sitting on the ground, looking at the bread in her companion's hand with her index finger in her mouth, and drooling at the corner of her mouth. Unfortunately, Chito has long been used to this, deadpanning at her with dead fish eyes.

"Ah, Chii-chan this too much." Yuuri screamed strangely and pretended to cry. Chito couldn't help but sigh and handed the bread over, "Here, let Yuu taste it first."

Only then did Senju, next to her reacted. His body softened and he fell to the ground. Sure enough, the biggest enemy of mankind, was mankind themselves.

Fortunately, he had put the bread in his inventory, otherwise Senju would have looked even more embarrassed with smooshed bread on his clothes. Chito saw him like this she quickly said sorry.

I'm sorry, I will teach Yuu a lesson later."

"It's okay, I'm just too anxious. Even though it's clearly the end of the world, I still find myself so scared," Senju admitted, feeling deeply ashamed upon regaining his composure. He had managed to endure more than ten days of solitude without fear, yet here he was, feeling embarrassed in front of two girls. Resolving to set aside his unease, he handed another piece of bread to Chito, saying, "Here, I have a few more."

Yuuri, who took a bite of bread next to her, felt herself intoxicated. After closing her eyes and enjoying the delicious food for a while, she sighed, "It's delicious. Chii-chan, what is this? Where did you find it?"

"This is 'bread', made by Senju," Chito replied, and then ate the bread, a fragrant taste filled her mouth, and the soft feeling was completely different from those compressed grains, "Really, Delicious."

"Yes, it's delicious," Yuuri responded cheerfully as she noticed Chito's delighted expression. Then, glancing at the bread and back at Senju, she continued, "Your name is Senju, right? It's settled. You're one of us now. As a member, you're obligated to make delicious bread for me every day."

Chito on the side also looked at him expectantly. Senju smiled bitterly, sweat-dropped and said perfunctorily.

"Okay, okay, by the way, where do you live now?"

"We made a promise, we won't look back and we can't break it," Yuuri asserted, her serious expression causing Senju to shrink back once again in fear. Then, lifting her hands in delight, she continued, "Chii-chan and I are on a journey now, heading for the top city. It's going to be incredible."

"Truly? That sounds incredible. Did you ascend from the city below? How is it down there? How many people are there?" Senju inquired absentmindedly, delving into questions about the situation below.

"Well, it's down there. It's dark, and the food is almost gone. Chii-chan, is there anyone else down there?" Yuuri answered in confusion, as if she didn't know what was going on down there.

However, Chito understood very well, "The energy in the city below has been exhausted, and the food is completely insufficient. There must have been a war when we left. After leaving there, you were the first person we saw. "

After listening to Chito's words, Senju immediately patted his chest and promised, "War? Okay, I will definitely travel with you, and you must protect me."

(T/L: Even with the "Interferance", I'd rather travel with people (if said people appears trustworthy) than going solo, Humans are social animals after all.)

"Leave it to me." Yuuri raised the gun in her hand and made an aiming motion, but after a while she continued to eat bread, but Senju now felt a little relieved when he saw her skillful movements, and then he shooked his head, he decided to make a piece of equipment first.

Taking his time before delving into the bread, Senju carefully positioned the iron ingots on the crafting table, swiftly fashioning a complete set of iron equipment.

After equipping himself with the gear, he inspected his appearance, testing it to find that he couldn't perceive any added weight. A small leap confirmed that it had no impact on his interaction with the ground; it was as if his overall weight had remained unchanged, only altering his outward appearance.

"Wow, you look handsome in this!" Yuuri exclaimed upon seeing the armor encasing him, giving it a gentle tap with her hand. "It's so chilly. Is this made of steel? You're not wearing any bulky clothing. How did you manage to put it on?"

"It's not heavy, look." Senju jumped a few times to show that he was fine. Seeing this, Yuuri grabbed the armor and shouted, "Really?! I want to try it too!"

Senju made another set of armor and gave it to Yuuri, but from the looks of it, the armor seemed very heavy, and after looking at it for a while, she didn't know how to wear it at all. After sitting there and worrying for a while, she put the helmet on she originally had, but after a while he changed back to the original helmet.

"Sure enough, my helmet is better. These are too heavy and ugly."

(T/L: Seems like to a regular person, the iron armor is heavy, while our MC feels nothing.)
