Chapter 18: Innocence and Peace
We stop at abandon house. Rather than house, it is more suited to be called abandoned structure. There is no room, furniture and the brick wall cover only two places. There are roof and floor. We decide to stay here tonight as it is sandwiched by the woods, it’s a good spot to take cover.
For the past 2 days, we slept in the woods. Surprisingly, this world has sleeping bags. We each sleep in something like bag that is thick enough to provide warmth and protection against snakes.
"Aaaaah. This is our last supply of food. Tomorrow onwards we need to hunt for foods." Clementine complains.
I gave the Toothpaste and toothbrush summoned from my "Items Transmigration" ability to the girls, and teach them how to use them. Luckily, there are sometime like toothbrush made of certain woods in this universe. Nevertheless, the items from my original world is far superior.
Since the last fight today, I also notice my translucent dashboard prompts something which I didn't check ut as we are rushing.
"You can summon 2 more items using Item Transmigration ability."
Is it good? Anyway, I need to do it the same way as before. What is things that help us in the wood?
"What are you looking at, Hiro? The girls ask me simultaneously.
They must find it weird because although I am reading the translucent dashboard on air, only I can see it.
"Just ignore me."
I continue. As it is better to move at night, we may need torchlight. Another thing is we need to cook. So, we need source of fire. But we something that is small and not heavy, so we can carry it easily.
The best for now are powerful torchlight and an automatic lighter. So, I imagine the two items.
"You can summon 2 more items powerful torchlight and automatic lighter."
Now, it is the time to summon them.
"Points remaining: 300 points"
I check the items.
Toothbrush 10 points
Toothpaste 15 points
Automatic lighter 20 points.
Powerful torchlight 40 points.
I stand up and walk away from the girls.
"Hiro, where are you going? Peeing?"
I nod and walk to place where their view is blocked.
Summon 4 automatic lighter, consumed 80 points.
Summon 4: powerful torchlight, consumed 160 points.
Remaining points: 60 points
Suddenly, 4 torchlights and 4 lighter appear out if thin air. I take them to the girls.
They are totally dumbfounded.
"Where you got this from?" Ivanna interrogates.
But Clementine and Sekrit grabs Ivanna and stare sharply at her.
"Shut up, bitch!" Ivanna is forced to keep quiet.
I then teach them on the way to use the newly summoned items.
I smoothly spread open the maple leaves we pick nearby and raise the lighter. My action is followed exactly by the girls.
lighter is a portable device which generates a flame, and can be used to ignite a variety of items, such as cigarettes, gas stoves, fireworks, candles or campfires. Usual lighter is a container filled with flammable liquid. The lighters we are holding now is the advanced version that is powered by electricity.
According to translucent dashboard, I can replenish it by spending just 5 points for each lighter.
"Press the yellow thing." We press the yellow button on the side of our lighters. A small flame comes and burn the maple leaves.
"Waaaaa!" The girls become uncontrollably excited.
"Press the red thing on the other side to make the flame disappear." They follow my next instruction and press the switch off button. The flame disappears.
The girls excitedly repeat the pressing of yellow and red button countless times.
"Just make sure you extinguish the fire. Otherwise, we this place will be burnt." I am not sure if my advice falls on deaf ears although they nod while smiling innocently as they play with the lighters like children playing toys.
I let them play to their heart content. After a while, they surround me.
"Show us another stuff!"
I pass to them a torchlight each.
I sit cross-legged in the centre. Clementine sits in reclined position, leaning back on her arm.
Sekrit sits in sidesaddle position, with her knees to the side. Ivanna sits in kneeling position.
Now, the surrounding is pitch dark after they stop the flame playing.
"Press the yellow thing." As we press the yellow button on the torchlights, bright lights come out from the front side.
"Waaaa"
I point the my torchlight to outside and the we could see trees clearly even from 20 meters away.
The girls start playing with the torchlights.
Looking at their innocent playing, I feel at peace. I wonder how much I miss this feeling.
