Everyone was busy and tired after a long day, and in front of their hungry eyes appeared a chubby rabbit.

I originally wanted to say it was a white and fat rabbit, but this rabbit was gray. I couldn't tell a lie, so I emphasized twice that this rabbit was objectively fat.

As for why I emphasized it, just like Lu Xun wrote "There is one jujube tree, and there is also another jujube tree", I was just emphasizing that this rabbit was fat, and we were hungry.

"Miss, would you like steamed, braised, soy sauce, boiled, or barbecue tonight?"

Fen brought out a chopping board and a knife from somewhere.

"I usually prefer light meals in the evening, but today is a special situation, so let's go with braised. Uesugi Yui, what do you think?"

Souren Manranyama sat elegantly on a cushion, holding a tea saucer and cup, casually sipping tea.

"Isn't it cruel to kill...?"

Uesugi Yui sat next to Souren Manranyama, feeling uneasy about the direction the conversation was taking, but not knowing what to do, she looked at me blankly.

I couldn't do anything either. No matter what, we were still on a mission and currently trapped in the mountains with no hope of rescue...

The gray bunny, who didn't know what would happen next, hopped into the cave to seek shelter from the rain.

"Uesugi Yui, kindness is indeed necessary, but let's stick to the basics. This is for survival, a natural energy cycle..."

"But..."

Despite Souren Manranyama's persuasion, Uesugi Yui still wanted to say something, so Souren Manranyama put down her teacup, waved her hand at Uesugi Yui, interrupted her, and continued speaking.

"You have your freedom of thought. If you can't accept it, just don't eat."

Uesugi Yui remained silent.

There are always people who ask if the eater has considered the feelings of chickens, ducks, fish, cows, sheep, and pigs when eating meat.

You see, in this world, the weak are not absolute beings, but only exist in relation to the strong. This means that the weak are not always the weakest, and the strong are not always the strongest. If the strong always consider the feelings of the weak and restrain themselves, how can this world develop?

In this regard, it is evident that Souren Manranyama is much more mature than Uesugi Yui.

"Well then, let's go with braised, Fen."

After consulting everyone's opinions, Fen picked up the rabbit and went into the dark corner of the cave to start the unknown cooking process.

Thirty minutes later, we sat around the bonfire and ate the braised rabbit meat. In this cold night in the mountains, this pot of delicious rabbit meat warmed our bodies and souls.

After finishing the rabbit meat, even though it was pouring rain outside, everyone was satisfied and relaxed, happily playing cards. Once again, I was not allowed to approach because the males would be in heat after eating the meat, which was excessively dangerous.

This is obviously a rumor. On this dark and windy night, with no one around, how could I, a healthy teenager, be tempted while staying in a small cave with three beautiful girls?

When I thought about this, my head heated up, and I immediately went to the cave entrance to cool down and clear my mind.

Outside, the rain was still pouring heavily, showing no signs of weakening.

Originally, the forest should have had a flood-control effect, but once the rainfall exceeds a certain level, the forest becomes a reservoir in another sense, a ticking time bomb.

"We'll spend the night in the cave tonight and move in the morning when it's safer."

The three girls who were playing cards earlier also came to the cave entrance. Souren Manranyama suggested, which coincided with my idea.

"But won't we miss the opportunity to catch them off guard?"

Uesugi Yui raised an objection.

Normally, that would be true, but tonight's situation is different...

"On a night like tonight, they probably wouldn't dare to move overnight. After all, Bai Yaixin is a meticulous person."

True to her reputation, Souren Manranyama's words dispelled Uesugi Yui's doubts."I agree too, so let's get ready for bed quickly, shall we?" My casual remark inadvertently attracted sharp glares from three girls.

"We?" Uesugi Yui repeated the key word in my previous statement.

This time, Souren Manranyama joined Uesugi Yui on the same side.

Being alone as a boy in a foreign place truly isn't easy.
