Chapter 78

The hot days continue.

Days of playing in the river continue.

Especially for me, who is particularly weak against the heat, it's tough.

...I'm also weak against the cold, but this heat is a bit abnormal.

Today, I was also carried away by the river... chilling on an amoeba.

Huh?

Looking to the side, I see an amoeba's face?

Looking down, I see an amoeba's face.

...They're multiplying!

Could they be dividing?

I heard that amoebas divide, oh?

Then how much will they multiply?

Well, I'll take a look around from Amoeba No. 1... and there are a lot of divisions!

...I'll pretend I didn't see it.

I think peace of mind is important.

Let's have dinner soon.

Today, I tried making a pseudo-nikujaga.

A large meat version.

I added some onion-like and potato-like vegetables, making the first nikujaga-like dish in this world.

I'm looking forward to it.

I've been making it since morning, and now it's soaking up the flavors.

I really want to eat.

I'll go to that place I noticed when setting up the barrier... after the heat dies down a bit.

It's impossible right now.

...Huh? Do spiders usually spin silk from there?

The one a little further away is the queen.

Three threads from her back?

From her front legs too??

...This is a different world, so it's a different world.

Don't worry about it!

...? When did the queen start spinning silk too?

The pseudo-nikujaga was delicious.

Yeah, it was scary.

The recent competition has been intense, so I'll double... triple the amount I make.

Maybe I'll get a bigger pot.

...

Shuri's holes have increased.

Two holes near the house in the wide square.

Are they the entrance and exit?

? The atmosphere around the new hole is different.

Shuri's holes have a terrifying atmosphere.

What is that atmosphere, like being swallowed...

The new hole feels a bit... gentler?

Senses are complicated.

When I got closer, a reptile's face came out of the hole!

...A lizard-like creature appeared!

I was surprised.

I panicked, thinking it might attack, but it just stared at me.

Since it was staring, I stared back.

Just staring isn't interesting, so I waved my hand.

It came closer, which was troublesome.

A lizard?

It's a bit different in shape from Japanese lizards.

Well, it's a different world.

The prey here looks similar but is a bit different.

A lizard-like lizard is fine.

...It's just a normal lizard, I must be affected by the heat.

Shuri seems happy to see the lizard.

The cores were touching noses in a greeting-like manner.

It feels like cultural exchange.

...No, definitely not.

The Chai are a bit scared but lying down?

The queen is tapping the lizard's nose with her front legs, which must be a greeting.

What is this?

Fuwafuwa seems to be quite close.

They were flying together... flying!

Flying without wings.

Oh, no, Fuwafuwa has wings but isn't using them.

Together.

Maybe they are the same species, just different in shape?

No way, that's not possible.

Anyway, it seems like a new companion has joined.

...

Oh, they're back.

The new companion dogs were all out today.

I was worried about one whose condition wasn't improving, but it seems to be okay.

That's good.

Let's think of some names soon.
