Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 108

On the island, day 2...

"Wow, I slept well-!"
*tired* "Hey"
"Eum... did you not sleep at all?"
"Nope"
"Why?!"
"..."

Because of what you told me yesterday!

"I couldn't sleep, that's all"
"Oh, I see."
"So, what do you want to do today?"
"First, I'm hungry. I should go and bring some food-"
"No need. I already collected food for now, but we'll go fishing later"
*nod* "Alright"

....

After breakfast...

"Thanks for the meal"
*nod* "Now, let's go fishing"
"Wait, like, right now?!"
"Yes. It will take time to catch at least 2 fishes and cook them."
"I see. You prepared a program for the day"
"Well, I couldn't sleep so..."
"Yeah true"

I wonder why he couldn't sleep.

"Let's go?"
*nod* "Yes"
*goes to the beach*
*sits* "Wait, how are we going to catch the fishes without a fishing rod?"
"With our bare hands of course"
"WHAT? NO WAY!"
"You won't have any food if you don't help"
"... Alright"
"Follow me" *goes into the water*
"... The fishes will probably leave at this rate."
"Come on!"
*sigh* "Coming"

...

One hour later...

"I finally caught one!"
"That's great!"
"How about you?"
"Already got mine before"
"Wait, really?"
*nod*
"How did you do it?!"
"It was kinda hard to find a good one, but I managed"
"Wow"

It took me around 20 minutes, since I did it many times before. But Luka never caught a fish with his hands, so it must've been hard.

"Why did you wait for me, then?"
"Well..."

I remember Blackie telling me that you can't swim. So I stayed here just in case.

"Because I want another one"
"I see. Well, I'll go back" *gets out of the water*
*nod* "I'm coming as well"
"Don't you want another fish?"
"It's fine. I got a big one"
"Oh, okay"
"So, how are we gonna cook them?"
"Well, we have to bring some trunk and tinder and light them up with two rocks"
"And... you know how to do it?"
"Yes, but I need your help in finding the trunks. I'll collect tinder"
*nod* "I can do that"
"Alright. Let's start"
*leaves*

I won't go farther than this. These woods are creepy.

*glance* "He's doing well"

I'm glad Luka and I are starting to get along. Well, we barely talked while fishing, but it's better than nothing, right?

...

Later...

"Eluma, I'm done"
"Alright. So did I. Can you put them together? I'll bring the 2 rocks"
*nod* *gathers everything*
"Here"
"You know how to light them up with just rocks?"
"Yep"
"How?"
"Okay so first, the rocks that I found are luckily flint."
"Why?"
"When robbed together, they will create a spark"
"Oh, I see"
"First, you hold one rock in each hand. Second, you strike the two rocks together to create a spark. And finally, you blow on the tinder and trunks to create a flame." *lit up*
"Wow. That's amazing!"
"Hehe. Now we'll cut the fish from the side with these 2 wood sticks" *gives one wood stick*
"Okay" *cut*
"Then we will pass each stick through the fish. But careful not to hurt your hand"
"Oh, alright"
"And we'll grill them until they're cooked"
"But is this sanitary?"
"Nope, not at all"
"WHAT?!"
"Do you want to eat or not?"
"We could've brought more fruits!"
"First, we might run out of fruits if we eat them all the time. Second, do you really think that eating fruits all day long is healthy?"
"Well, at least it is better than eating this!"
"Listen. Right now, we can only think about surviving. We're more than halfway through this. So make a small sacrifice and eat it, alright? We'll get some coconut when we're done"
"... Alright, but if something happens, you're responsible"
*nod* "Deal"
