Senju and Yuuri noticed that Chito hadn't surfaced for a while, and without hesitation, they immediately moved to rescue her.
Senju jumped in without a second thought.
But as he was mid-air, Senju suddenly remembered he couldn't swim. The moment he hit the water, he immediately began to sink.
Just as he was about to struggle, a string of bubble meters appeared in front of him, making him feel at ease. He didn't feel like he was choking, at least not yet, probably fine as long as the bubbles didn't disappear.
(T/L: Yea I don't know how to word the bubbles mechanic in Minecraft.)
Knowing that it was okay, Senju let himself sink down to Chito's side. A moment later, Yuuri swam down from the side, and the two of them grabbed Chito's arms and pulled her upward.
Yuuri relied on the movement of her legs, while Senju used the abilities of the Interface it looked like swimming, even if it technically wasn't.
*PUH-HAH*
After the three of them surfaced, water splashed around them. Yuuri helped Chito stay afloat, while Senju leaped out of the water only to sink again, then jumped out once more.
Yuuri watched in confusion but, seeing that Senju seemed fine, she turned her attention back to Chito in her arms.
(T/L: I laughed hard at that one just by imagining it.)
"You okay?" Chito was now floating on the surface of the water in a daze, Yuuri next to her maintaining her balance, the light above shining on her eyes, and she couldn't help but recall the words of the machine.
"This planet was once one in life."
"If so then..."
Senju floating in the background, he seems a little helpless
"... What about now?"
After some time wasted, Senju climbed onto the lily pad again and relaxed upon seeing that Chito and Yuuri were fine.
However, after Chito was fully awake, she struggled there again, and Senju had to give her a lily pad to help her swim.
Senju thought that after coming out, his armor should still be dry, and reality proved him right.
However, he forgot that the clothes underneath didn't have the same function as his armor, leaving him completely soaked.
With no other choice, he took out a few dry clothes out of his inventory and ran to the shore to change.
While changing, Senju noticed the clothes hanging nearby. Thinking ahead, he prepared a set of dry clothes for the two still in the water.
Watching the two of them swim in the water tanks, Senju began to deal with the enchanted bows he had just gotten, after all, a bow without the Infinity enhancement would waste arrows.
He combined a few enchanted bows he had just caught using an anvil, resulting in a bow with the enchantments, Infinity I, Power III, Punch II, and Unbreaking III.
(Iron felt- Anvil)
Senju used the enchanted bow along with another Infinity enchanted bow that had a Flame effect as useful weapons.
After crafting the bow, he began repairing the autonomous machines again. After fixing five of them, he stopped, planning to take them out when they were ready to leave.
After soaking in the water for a while, Chito and Yuuri came out of it, and after drying their bodies, they put on the clothes prepared by Senju next to them, although these clothes were a little ill-fitting and a little too big to wear.
After getting dressed, everyone felt a little hungry. It was probably evening by now, but the space here was a bit small, and the cabin was inconvenient to take out.
So, they sat next to the fish tank and took out some dry food to eat.
The autonomous machine also took out an iron bucket from the side, grabbed the fish food with the mechanical arm and began to feed the fish, and everyone ate the dry food while watching the fish keep jumping out of the water to catch the food.
"Nice!" "Amazing" "Wow"
The three was in awe, they didn't know the fish could do that.
["This is not ordinarily a jumping species. It is a mutation of a certain species."]
"Mutation?" Chiyo didn't understand.
["An incorrect transmission of commands. a bug."]
["It is also the source of evolution."]
Although the machine spoke very clearly, many of its words were unfamiliar to ordinary people today, and Chito was no exception.
"Machines sure say some complicated things."
"Evolution, mutation, natural selection, and so on," Senju somewhat understood why the fish was able to jump out, because the food was just outside.
"Does Senju know what evolution is, and what is mutation?" Chito asked after hearing Senju's words.
"Evolution, in ancient times, there were only some single-celled animals on the earth, and these single-celled animals sometimes have a change and become another organism, from the step-by-step changes of those single-celled animals, all the way to our human process is an evolution, and the whole process lasts for hundreds of millions of years."
"Single-celled? But hundreds of millions of years is really long," Chito was confused. She didn't understand many of the words, she only knew that hundreds of millions of years was a long time, but she had no real sense of how long it was.
"Biology is also very complicated, I'll tell you what I know in the future," Senju thought for a while, and then ended the topic, after all, it is difficult to understand something without the corresponding concepts and knowledge.
"I wanna cook it," Yuuri finished her food as the two discussed academic issues, and began to lie on the edge of the pool, drooling at the fish inside.
"Cut it out already," Chito put aside what Senju had just said, stopping Yuuri's atrocity.
However, Yuuri became interested in the actions of the autonomous machine again, "Hey, can I do that to?"
["Feed the fish? Yes, you may."] The machine handed the bucket to Yuuri, who was pleasantly surprised, "I can? Awesome!"
["Five more pellets conclude today's feeding."] The machine reminded Yuuri of the amount of food to eat, and then she took out a fish food from it, and Senju thought Yuuri would taste it, but Yuuri didn't do it at all.
(T/L: XD)
"Okay."
*Whoosh*
Yuuri picked up the fish food and threw it into the water, and the fish inside jumped out of the water, caught the food in one bite, and then swam to the side, waiting for the next food.
Seeing the fish swim over, Yuuri was very excited, and drooled and said to the fish.
"Maybe we could become friends?"
"Don't be friends with predators," Chito complained about the scene, but Yuuri didn't hear it at all, and her attention was all on the fish, "I really want to take you on a trip."
(T/L: Didn't bother replacing it like with the manga, the wording is just to funny for me XXXD.)
"You're drooling," Chito looked at the saliva on Yuuri's lips and couldn't help but comment. Then, as fatigue set in, Chito yawned and muttered, "I'm really tired today."
It seemed that Chito's yawn was contagious. Senju also feels a little sleepy, but the space around me is a little small.
"Where are we going to sleep?"
["If you are going to sleep, you should do it underneath that plumbing. Heated water runs through it."] The machine pointed to the pipe, and after looking at it with Senju, who found that there was a gap between the two pipes, and after touching it, he found that it was warm inside.
Chito and Yuuri also tried it and found that it was a bit warm underneath. Although it wasn't as cozy as a bed, it was much more comfortable than where they had slept before.
After moving their backpacks over, Senju spread a few blankets in the middle of the pipe as a resting place.
