"Are we really going to have a picnic in a damn place like this?"
"After all, this place is considered a wilderness. It's much better than that dead village where corpses are everywhere."
"There are corpses everywhere here. Even though they are all animal carcasses... it's still disgusting!"
"Why don't you just look at it? There aren't any around us."
"Then you have a big heart!"
"We have already had a picnic on a poisonous planet. Do you still care about these scenery? Come on, sit down next to me in an M-shaped position."
"Why do you want the M word? What do you want to do to me?"
"I don't want to do anything to you! Either sit with your legs side by side, or sit in an M position like me! Don't sit with your legs spread carelessly!"
"...Amy, you call me duck sitting, not M-shaped sitting."
"Oh, really. Then go to the woods over there and pick up some firewood."
"You want me to go alone into that dark forest to collect firewood? I'll collect the corpses!"
"Then I'll go. You watch the child here and don't let her be in danger."
"Ah? How can I protect people?"
"If there is danger, just take her to Sister Sai Yi. Do you still want to fight?"
"I can't catch her!"
"How is it possible? If you run seriously, you will definitely be much faster than her. You are one third of a goddess now!"
"Why a third?"
"Because the girls in my family are divided into three levels: immortal, able to do whatever they want, omniscient and omnipotent. You only have immortal now, so you count as one-third of a goddess."
"Ha! Then you are omniscient and omnipotent?"
"No, I'm only at the level where I can do whatever I want. Only my sisters are omniscient and omnipotent."
"Hey~~~I thought you were all-knowing and all-powerful~"
"If you can't do it, you can't do it. There's no shame in it. I'm going to collect firewood. You keep an eye on her."
"Then be careful! Don't get bitten by the monster!"
"Don't worry, I can fight very well."
"That's right~~~"
There is a small forest near our resting place, but most of this forest has died and turned black due to the impact of the plague. Only a few trees remain in their true colors, but all their leaves have fallen off.
The ground is covered with black debris similar to humus, but it is obviously not humus, but the remains of plants whose structures have been damaged by the plague. This plague does not seem to even let go of microorganisms, so naturally there are no saprophytes. But the plague itself seems
It has a decaying effect, so the whole forest is still filled with the smell of rotting plants. I suddenly felt that Yanghua was not wrong, because only perverts like us are picnicking in such a ghost place.
After searching around, I couldn't find any branches that could be picked up. The smaller branches all turned into black debris on the ground. Only the thick trunks could maintain their shape. I rubbed a high-temperature holy light and tried
I lit the debris on the ground. Fortunately, I could light it, but the smoke was quite strong and smelly.
There is no other way. Since I can't find the branches, I can only pull out the trunk. For a picnic, a tree with a diameter of one meter should be enough, right? I know it is wrong to destroy the natural environment, but this forest has long been dead.
, it can’t be considered a natural environment at all, right? In that case, let’s do whatever we want~
"Wow! What are you doing! Is this the branch you picked up?"
When Bai Yanghua saw me holding a tree, she jumped up in fright.
"There are no branches to pick up, so I can only pull up a tree and bring it back."
"Are you a monster!"
"I'm scarier than the monster."
"Why burn such a big mountain! Do you want to burn the mountain?"
"Not to mention, this place where the plague is raging should really be burned. Don't worry, as long as you have the materials, you can burn it. You don't need to worry about this. Sister Sai~ I found the wood~~~"
I put the tree trunk on the ground and called Sister Sai, who was in a daze by the river, to come over.
"Amy, are you going to have a bonfire party? Why did you pick up a tree?"
Sister Sai actually thought I was exaggerating.
"Because it saves trouble~ all the branches in the forest were rotten and only the trunk was left, so I pulled one out."
"Yes, you are becoming more and more like a goddess."
"Hey hey hey~~~"
"How can you be praised for this?"
"Yanghua."
"exist!"
"Actually, you really should learn from Amy. You are already a part of this family. It's time to accept the 'common sense' unique to our family."
"Uh ok, I will try my best..."
"Amy, let me ask you a question."
"What's the problem, Sister Saiyi?"
“Why do humans have picnics?”
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I mean, why do humans take all the trouble to go out into the wild with food, cook it in an environment that is completely unsuitable for cooking, pollute the environment by the way, and then run all the way back? What's the point of doing this?
?”
"Hmm... Actually, I don't know what the meaning is, because I have never had a picnic before, and I also think this kind of behavior is quite ridiculous."
"Does Yanghua know?"
"I don't know either, Sister Sai, I'm not an outdoor enthusiast."
"Perhaps those people think that this is close to nature..."
"Is that what you think, Amy?"
"Well, human beings always like to do things that satisfy themselves and move them. It doesn't matter what the outcome is, as long as they are happy, that's enough. This is quite similar to the goddess..."
"It's similar, we can ensure the results while enjoying ourselves."
"Okay, my metaphor is inappropriate. In short, human beings like to enjoy themselves, and many inexplicable and meaningless behaviors are just for self-pleasure."
"But if they can really get pleasure from these meaningless things, then these meaningless things will have meaning. You can no longer say that they are meaningless things, because the meaning of these things is to make people happy."
"...Although what you said is convoluted, I understand it. Well, I admit that things like meaning are inherently subjective. Maybe it is indeed meaningful to those people."
"What riddle are you two talking about? Why can't I understand it?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you listen more, you will understand."
I patted Yanghua on the shoulder and gave her a "no need to say anything" look.
As a result, she gave me a look that said, "You are indeed a psychopath."
Although we can have a picnic in a polluted area, the food we eat must not be taken from the local area, but the normal food we bring with us, and we will not even use the water from the river. This reminds me that there is now a river on the earth.
The regulations prohibit people from doing such inexplicable things as going out into the wild to have picnics, and they also prohibit people from eating wild animals and plants at will. Of course, except for people who are actually in distress. We recognize the natural behavior of hunting and picking for survival, but if you start
It is absolutely not okay to drive into the wild and cause trouble for animals and plants.
The penalty for violating this rule is also very simple, that is, the offender is literally thrown into the uninhabited nature of the God Realm Planet and allowed to survive in the wilderness. The length of time depends on the severity. Because the ecological environment of the God Realm Planet is too "natural"
", so the survival rate of these people is very low. If they don't die of thirst or starvation, they will be killed by wild beasts. After being reborn, these people have all become so-called "urban environmentalists". To put it simply, they are
We call on people to stay in the city and not go out into the wild to pollute the environment. Living an honest life in the city is the best way to protect the environment.
Because the surrounding environment is really bad, we only cooked vegetarian food for this picnic. None of the goddesses are bad at cooking, and Knight Ji, who makes snacks with Sakura every day, is even better at it. Even Bai Yang and I
People like Hua who don't like to eat food are so greedy for the food she cooks. Once the food is ready, she doesn't even care about scalding it and starts eating it (she's not afraid of scalding it anyway).
"Yanghua, how did the child react?"
"I'm so greedy that I'm slowly approaching this way."
"Give her a bowl, a little away from us, but not too far."
"Okay~~~"
Hehehe~ Now everything is ready, all we need is for the girl to take the bait~~~ I hope this food fight can successfully eliminate her wariness~
