The facts proved that as long as you remove the head and tail, it's all protein that can supplement nutrition.
Under the flickering firelight of the floor, a pile of bones was thrown into a corner.
"Mono... the barbecue you made... is delicious..."
Six licked her lips and commented.
Hearing this, Mono inwardly chuckled.
"Delicious?"
It's just rat meat... yet she's eating it with such relish. Six's tastes really are unique...
However,
Mono turned his head and glanced at the pile of bones stacked by his feet...
Why had he eaten... so much too?
After a moment of silence,
Perhaps... hunger really can drive people mad. Mono silently thought. Beside him, Six looked at Mono, who was lying on the floor with a sorrowful expression, with confusion. After thinking for a moment, she slowly spoke:
"Mono... are you still not full..."
Mono didn't answer, just glanced at her and silently asked:
13
"Little Six, do you really think it's delicious?" Six nodded firmly:
"Last time, the bird Mono roasted,
the sausage,
and this time's rat meat,
were all delicious..."
"I really like everything Mono makes..."
Mono glanced at Six again, only to find the girl was speaking very earnestly.
"I say, you're way too easy to please. This can't even be considered gourmet food..." he said.
He was already too exhausted to complain.
"But, I really do like the things Mono makes..." Six said again. Mono was slightly taken aback and looked at Six suspiciously: "Really?"
Six nodded.
"Not joking?"
Six shook her head...
"Not lying?"
Six shook her head +1?
"Is that so~ Alright." Mono closed his eyes and leaned against the wooden board.
Six looked at Mono, puzzled. Was her answer wrong? Why was Mo
no unhappy?
Of course, she didn't notice the corner of Mono's mouth, whose eyes were closed, curling up uncontrollably.
Time passed slowly...
The fire crackled and illuminated the surroundings...
Hugging her knees and holding a wooden stick, Six boredly poked at the charcoal jumping out of the fire pile, her gaze occasionally falling on the person leaning nearby with closed eyes, resting.
Has Mono fallen asleep?
Six silently observed.
His breathing was steady; his face occasionally showed a satisfied smile, then returned to calm...
Mono, when asleep, looks... so peaceful...
Completely different from his usual fierce demeanor...
Six stopped waving the stick... and silently came to Mono's side...
"Mono..."
After she spoke, the person with closed eyes still didn't move a muscle.
Was he really asleep?
Just as she was watching,
Mono, with his eyes closed, suddenly mumbled a few indistinct words.
Six was slightly startled.
Is Mono dreaming?
But what is he saying?
Puzzled, she lowered her head. As the murmurs came again, she froze for a moment. Then she turned her head, looked at Mono who had returned to quietness again, her small face slightly flushed...
Time passed slowly...
The next day, Mono opened his bleary, sleepy eyes.
Looking at the dark ceiling, Mono was stunned...
He had actually fallen asleep unknowingly last night?
Regaining his senses, Mono quickly turned his head to look around.
Seeing that nothing unexpected had happened, he relaxed.
This seemed to be the second time he had fallen asleep so defenselessly.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong last night, or it would have been troublesome.
He silently marked this carelessness as a warning to himself—he must never make a similar mistake again.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a soft breathing sound coming from his body.
Mono slowly lowered his head to look.
He saw a small head leaning against his body.
Beneath slightly disheveled bangs, her faint eyebrows were relaxed. The corners of her mouth held a faint, almost imperceptible curve, and her small nose breathed peacefully. One small hand clutched his shoulder. One foot was also propped up on him.
The corner of Mono's mouth twitched.
Had he become a body pillow? No wonder it felt so heavy last night.
However,
looking at Six's profile, Mono suddenly paused again.
Seems like...
he had a dream last night.
What was it about?
It seemed to be related to Six.
Just as he was thinking this, another murmur came from his chest.
He saw Six, with her eyes closed, slowly say: "Mono..." Mono didn't pay it much mind at first, but hearing this, a flash of inspiration struck. A dream suddenly appeared in his mind...
Uh...
After half a second of silence...
Mono shook his head and let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness it was just a dream.
If it were real, how could he go on living?
Moreover, they say dreams are always the opposite of reality, so this proves he definitely couldn't harbor any perverted thoughts towards Six, right?
He silently let Six sleep peacefully for a while longer, then Mono checked the sky.
At this moment, the surroundings were still no different from before he fell asleep. Apart from the extinguished fire, heavy rain was still falling outside the window, and the sky was still gloomy.
"Hey, Six, wake up."
Mono pinched her little face.
Feeling the movement, Six finally woke up.
She silently opened her dazed eyes, gradually regaining awareness.
"Stop sleeping, we should get going." Mono said.
So Six could sleep this much? That was truly an unexpected discovery.
"Mono..."
Six slowly sat up. But when she saw Mono's face, as if remembering something, she suddenly and silently averted her eyes and said, "Mono... are you awake?"
Mono: "idiot, are you still half-asleep? What kind of nonsense are you talking? If I'm not awake, who are you talking to right now?"
Having said that, Mono slowly stood up.
But upon hearing Mono's words, Six's little face suddenly felt a bit warm. Nonsense?
"Let's go, stop spacing out, we need to leave." Mono sighed helplessly. Six really was such a scatterbrain.
Little Six silently stood up.
