I Become a God: Playing with Beasts

"The first thing to do is secure shelter, fire and water," Yago said.

"Although I don't know how long it will be until sunset, let's collect them as soon as possible."

"Then what do I do?" Theo inquired.

"I'd like your help finding a place to stay."

"Want to build a house?" Theo asked, feeling a little stressed.

He is not very good at building houses, or he has never even built a mud house. As a prince, what he has to learn every day is martial arts and knowledge, and the rest is handled by his servants.

"No, as long as it's a temporary shelter from the rain, a cave would be even better."

"Cave..." Theo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, let's walk along the coastline and see if there are any good caves. It should be big enough for about two people, and there should be no bats or rats."

"Even if there are animals, can't you light a fire and use smoke to drive them away?"

“Even if we get rid of the things that live there, we don’t have time to clean up the feces and urine on the ground.

Those things are loaded with pathogens, so try to avoid them. "

"I see, is it a pathogen?"

Theo felt like he had learned something new and useful.

"You must be careful not to get sick. If it is an uninhabited island, there will definitely be no medicine.

Also, we will definitely not accept it if it is a place where the sea will not reach during high tide, or a residence where water will enter during high tide! "

Yago remembered this and reminded him quickly.

"You don't know that kind of thing if you don't see it when it's rising?"

"Just observe the traces on the ground and walls to see if there are any shells or walls on the ground, and if there are any traces of sea water left on them."

The situation was almost understood. After writing this down, Theo was ready to find a place to live.

"Huh...I'll watch carefully."

"The other thing is to make a fire. If you see branches on the ground, collect them in advance."

"Is the fire for cooking?"

“No, it’s to ward off wild animals and maintain body temperature.

Although it’s still warm now, it’s unknown how cold it will be after nightfall.”

"Hey, don't you want to eat?" Theo thought blankly.

"Of course we will also try to find food at the same time, but whether there are any plants and fruits we recognize here, it's hard to say to be honest.

In the worst case scenario, as long as we have water we won't die, so I think it's ok to lower the priority on food. "

"...Do you want to postpone eating...?"

Theo was a little disappointed. Although he said he felt better yesterday, he still had no appetite, so he didn't eat much after a busy day.

"What, are you hungry?"

"Um"

"I understand. I will try my best to find something edible. I need you to build it on the coastline. If you have shellfish, pick it up. I will confirm it later.

We also saw bottles and other utensils and picked them up if they drifted ashore. It would be easier for us to have them. "

"Understood, I'll look for it."

"Last point, because there may be ferocious beasts, so be careful to pay attention to the surrounding atmosphere. If you encounter them, don't try to capture them? Because we may win wild ferocious beasts."

Theo felt that Yago had underestimated him, so he snorted coldly.

Seeing Theo like this, Yago felt a little uncomfortable, but he still let Theo go.

"Then let's meet here again in about an hour. Don't get lost!"

"Okay, who do you think I am."

In this way, Yago and Theo acted separately, each carrying out the assigned work.

……

About an hour later.

"Hey, how was the harvest?"

When Yago came back, he saw Theo already waiting there, so he said hello.

"If it's just for rest, I'll find a suitable cave."

Hearing this, Ya Ge looked happy.

"Oh, that's great!"

"And although I can't find the bottle, there is one for the pot."

"Really? That's really a big help!" Yago said in surprise.

"Although it's a little rusty..."

Yago said hurriedly: "No problem, no problem, just remove the rust and it will be ready for use."

"How are you doing there?" Theo asked Yago.

"Hey, I'm very lucky to have found rivers and waterfalls. I can fetch water and even take a bath."

What they both said was good news. Theo looked relaxed and curled his lips happily.

"Huh? That's not bad."

"However, there is no human breath..."

"It's the same on my side, although I originally planned to repel him if attacked by the barbarians." Theo said his thoughts.

"I told you not to think this way!"

After that, Yago and Theo went to see the cave first.

Seeing that the cave was very good, Yago praised Theo greatly, and the latter blushed slightly, as if he was shy.

Afterwards, Yago will go to the beach to find ingredients and ask Theo to light a fire.

After handing the flint and knife to the needy, Yago went out.

Theo was very surprised as to why Yago had these things.

But in Yago’s words: I will definitely take it with me when taking a boat, because cutting and cooking fish is the fun of the sea.

After Ya Ge went out for a while, he found some ingredients. When he returned to the cave, Theo had already lit a fire.

"Hey, I'm back!"

Seeing the food in Yago's hand, Theo asked slightly hesitantly: "What is that?"

"What did you say? Shellfish, they look delicious."

As he said this, Yago took out some shellfish and showed them to Theo.

“I actually found abalone when I was diving among rocks with lots of seagrass, so I brought some back.

Then I found some stone oysters, so I picked them too. If you look for it, you should probably find something else. "

"Are these shellfish edible?" Theo asked doubtfully.

"Not only is it edible, but it's also quite delicious. You're a prince, but haven't you tried it before?"

“We don’t eat this kind of thing in our country.”

Theo closed his eyes and swallowed hard. The aroma of grilled shellfish reached his nostrils, making him salivate.

"What is this?" Theo looked at some wild vegetables on top of the shellfish.

"This is a weed called onion grass, this one looks like a leek, and this one has a bulb like an onion." Yago introduced them one by one.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's considered delicious for weeds," Yago compared.

"Huh mother..."

"Although I have seen many others, I am not too familiar with weeds..."

Yago touched his head and muttered to himself in frustration.

Zhang Yan told him before that he should go to the botanical garden to play with He Yuman more often. It’s just that he’s really not interested in plants, so he hasn’t been there.

Only then did he regret it.

"I've heard that you can roughly grasp the deep areas by using the plant images of the habitat." Theo said the knowledge he read in the book.

"It also requires extensive knowledge of plants to identify them. My knowledge is not that high."

"...That's it." Xi·Yi·ao sighed.

Then the two stopped talking and concentrated on roasting meat.

The only sounds left in the cave were the crackling of wood branches being burned and the sizzling of meat, and the chirping of insects could also be heard outside.

After a long silence, Theo suddenly spoke.

"Na..."

"What?" Yago looked at Theo.

"that……

……Feel sorry……

If you were teleported here because of my E.P., that means I dragged you into the water. "

"What, so you've always cared about this?"

Yago smiled, "It's okay, it's not Theo's fault."

"But I sent you here because my E.P. went berserk."

"Don't blame yourself, this is something no one expected. In other words, you should actually be happy for the awakening of your E.P."

"........."

"And it would be better if I was here, right? It would be terrible if you were the only one sent here."

Yago is like a little sun, dispelling all the gloom in Theo's heart and giving him warmth.

"Yes." Being comforted by Yago, Theo felt warm in his heart. I don’t show it on the face, but I’m thinking in my heart, so I’ll reluctantly let you be my friend.

Seeing that the meat was almost cooked, Yago signaled to Theo that he could eat it.

"You have to eat this with your hands because you don't have a knife and fork, so be patient."

"Well, don't underestimate me. I'm not arrogant enough to complain to this extent."

What, Yago complained in his heart, he was making a big fuss when he just went to urinate.

Theo grabbed the stuck abalone and stared at him with a surprised expression.

"...can it really be eaten...?"

"really!"

Theo put the abalone in his mouth only after Yago repeatedly emphasized it.

"Hmm...mmm..."

"How about it?"

"Okay, amazing taste..."

Theo didn't know how to evaluate it.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"I don't know how to describe this smell...should I say it's a strange smell?

And it seems to have a bit of a grainy texture. "

"Ah... I'm sorry. Maybe I didn't remove the sand completely."

"Forget it, let's change the mood and try this weed." Theo said, putting the onion grass into his mouth.

Brother Ya looked at Theo, the prince who was busy chewing weeds on the roadside, and he looked unexpectedly interesting.

Theo chewed for a moment, then swallowed hard.

Theo commented with difficulty: "It's doubtful whether this can be considered food..."

"That's food," Yago threatened, he had to eat it all and don't waste it.

"Well, it's only at times like this that I feel a little envious of you, a savage."

"Who is a savage?" Yago retorted.

"Anyway, let's put aside the issue of eating for now."

Hearing Theo say this, Yago knew that he didn’t want to eat anymore.

"What are we going to do next?"

"First of all, we should get up early tomorrow to climb the mountain. First, we should understand the terrain here, then go down the mountain to take a bath, and then discuss countermeasures."

"What if there are traces of residents around in the mountains?"

"I'll think about it later"

Afterwards, Theo and Yago discussed tomorrow's itinerary.

After eating the rest of the food, I went to sleep.

Both of them were lying on the bed made of weeds, and Yago expressed one of his doubts.

"Hey Theo, you're a little reserved today. Are you still feeling guilty?"

"No...that's not it."

"Then why."

"...I feel like I'm...useless here."

Theo closed his eyes, as if trying to escape from something.

" Eh……"

“Not only do you have all the things you need to survive, but you also carry flint and steel with you and a knife.

I...have no idea what to do in a place like this..."

It seemed like all the worries of the day were gone at this moment, and Theo spoke out his true thoughts.

"They say I just happened to know about it, and the flint and knife were only accidentally on me."

"But it was the same on the boat. I was more seasick than others. It was so severe that I couldn't even start the test."

"That's because it's a physical condition, so there's nothing we can do about it."

"In order to prevent things from ending, I have been exercising until now." Theo said with a long sigh.

"...?"

"Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow"

"Well, well... good night." Yago's eyes gradually lengthened as he looked at Theo.

As Theo turned his back to Yago, tonight's discussion was over and it was time for a break.
