The next day, after class, Echo guided me to the entrance to the basement, which my relatives told me I could use. The doorway was disguised as the entrance of a house. What does Echo's uncle use that basement for? Is it an illegal use, or is it not illegal, but is it used for something that is too embarrassing to tell others? I hope it's the latter. If it is used illegally, it will get you into unnecessary trouble and further delay the already delayed plan.
She asked Echo what her relatives were using this place for, and why they could use it freely in addition to paying for the utility bills. As for the usage, my uncle's hobby is photography, and he used the basement as a darkroom, but he bought a pro-lab that was going out of business, so this is no longer needed. As for the reason why you can pay for the utility bills and use it freely, it seems that when I was asking for it, I forced my uncle to swallow my saliva, but immediately after that, his attitude changed suddenly. It is said that they were told that they could use it freely.
It's useful information to be able to use saliva-drinking humans to your advantage. But I have to carefully check if it really is. If not, you're in big trouble.
When I asked Echo if there were other people who gave saliva to him, he said that he gave his brother a drink as well. According to Echo, before giving detailed instructions, if Echo is in sight, he will listen to anything you say, like a puppet with a broken string, as if he were under hypnosis. However, if his parents saw him in such a state, it seems that he could have caused a fuss. When I asked him if he didn't get into a state like his brother, he said that when he saw the change in his brother and tried it on his brother, he held it firmly and let him drink plenty. It seems that it can be a useful collaborator if given an appropriate amount, but if given too much, it seems to be in a state similar to a wooden doll.
Thanks to Echo's actions, I was able to obtain a place to eat, but I couldn't overlook the fact that Echo's brother was on the verge of becoming a cripple when he was in Echo's field of vision. If you don't pay attention to the echo later, it may lead to the exposure of the plan.
The day before, my uncle had cleaned up, so the basement was relatively clean. Except for the room used as the darkroom and the refrigerator used to store the chemicals had a peculiar chemical-like odor and gave up using it, almost everything was in a usable state.
When I asked Echo why he used the basement instead of using the abandoned house on the ground, he replied that the house on the ground was too large to manage, and that the basement was not connected to the house on the ground. However, it seems that the reason is that it is a semi-independent existence and is easy to manage. In that building with an entrance, my uncle used to live with his family, but when they moved due to various circumstances, they set up an entrance in a room with an entrance to the basement and rented it. It's kind of fishy, but given the size of that abandoned house, it's not easy to manage it, so it's not a lie.
After cleaning up the basement, I went to a box store to buy retort food and cup noodles. If you can tie the boxes of cup noodles together, you can probably hold about three boxes per person, but for packed rice and retort pouches, one box per person is a good place, so Bravo and I need help carrying the things we've bought. So I called my boyfriend. Besides, they must be tormented by hunger...
I was right to ask for a man's hand. When I finished carrying it to the basement, I boiled water on the gas stove in the kitchen that was more than the hot water supply room and less than the kitchen, and warmed the retort curry in a pot. I used the microwave that Echo's uncle had left behind to heat the packed rice. Other than mugs, there were only soba cups and bowls of tableware. It seems that Mr. Oji didn't cook anything other than bag noodles and dried noodles here. Judging by the fact that there were unopened mentsuyu and wasabi in tubes that hadn't passed their expiration dates in the refrigerator, there was almost no doubt.
The variety and number of tableware was desperately lacking, and curry had to be eaten in a space made by pulling rice from a pack to one side. The store I went to buy disposable disposable chopsticks, spoons and forks, but they didn't sell disposable curry plates. Are they dealing with lazy people who don't want to put it on a plate or customers who buy it for stockpiling purposes?
I need to get some tableware in the near future. In order to provide food for the growing number of brethren until they molt.
Almost everyone ate two or three cup noodles and three or four curry rice with packed rice. Anyway, I was eating 4 cup noodles and 5 curry rice. Even if you eat this much, you'll still be hungry by the time you get home.
How many days will it take for it to molt?
