NGNL: Can't humans do that

"Do you know what the difference is between humans and monkeys?"

The crackling campfire occasionally flew sparks, and even when they fell on Su'er hands, they did not make him change his position. It was not hot, nor painful. Without waiting for Think answer, he continued to speak in a deep and seductive tone.

"That is the ability to use tools... and among all the tools, the most important one is fire," Su'er gently turned the food on the campfire and said in a low voice: "At first, we only used the flames burning on the trees after being struck by lightning, and in the end, we have learned to rely on tools to generate flames..."

At this point, Su'er eyes involuntarily glanced at Think palms-and then retracted her eyes when they were clenched into fists.

"Whether we are willing or not, Survival always urges humans to move forward. We are ready, set off, trek, and settle down. Wherever we stop, there will be flames..."

"Are all monkeys as talkative as you?", interrupting Su'er words with a fake smile, Think flexibly used what someone once said.

"It's weird, isn't it? It's always quiet when you're alone, but it becomes noisy when there's one more person, and it becomes quiet again when there's a few more people." Without paying attention to Think words, Su'er handed the grilled fish to Think, "Here, taste the most original flavor of the ingredients."

In fact, there was just no seasoning, not even salt.

"No, I want to eat another kind," unexpectedly refused, Think eyes fell on a string of small cubes of meat that Su'er had inserted next to the campfire.

"...Are you Sure?", Su'er expression suddenly became strange, "I personally suggest that you eat fish...for both you and me."

"Heh, is there really a secret?", with a sneer, Think suddenly leaned over and took away a string of meat next to Su'er.

"..."

Unable to complain about the sudden illness of this Elf, Su'er just sat a little further away from her silently to prevent the possible anger that might appear in a while - it should be said that the anger that would definitely appear.

As soon as it entered her mouth, she regretted it. Before, she could only smell a slightly pungent smell, but in her mouth, this smell was infinitely magnified, as if she had swallowed a stink bug. This strange smell of oil even resembled... Think chewing became slower and slower, and her face turned livid in the blink of an eye. She wanted to hold it back, but she couldn't help it - ugh!

She turned her head and spit it out on the other side.

"What the hell is this!!", she turned her head and glared at Su'er in anger, Think murderous eyes glowed red.

"So I told you to eat fish", Su'er complained weakly, and he looked at the pieces of meat that Think spit out with some regret... No, even he wouldn't pick up what others spit out and eat it, so don't think about it.

Su'er looked away and saw that Think still had no intention of relaThinkg. She was determined not to give up until she got the answer. After a little thought, Su'er said calmly: "It's just rat meat. I cut the meat into this shape to prevent you from having bad associations. I didn't expect you to..."

Ugh!

Before Su'er finished speaking, Think started to vomit again. Fortunately, her stomach was empty and she couldn't vomit anything.

Looking at Think who was still patting her chest and vomiting from time to time, Su'er didn't say anything else, but shrugged helplessly - he didn't mean to laugh at Think reaction at this time.

In fact, the first time he ate this kind of food, he looked no better than the Elf, but in the end he swallowed all the meat because of hunger. Until now, he has become able to eat these pieces of meat with unique flavors as usual.

Even in this war that has lasted for countless years, these rodents are still alive and well, with no signs of extinction.

No longer thinking about his embarrassing appearance at the beginning, Su'er picked up the well-cooked skewers, and in order to take care of Think feelings, he turned his back and sat further away.

I don't know if it was because of the rat meat, the meal was very quiet, except for the sound of someone retching from time to time.

"...Please rinse your mouth", even respectfully using the word "please", Think pointed to the dark river on the other side and said, as if if Su'er refused this request, then she would rather be shot here by the Dwarf.

"Okay, okay, actually rinsing your mouth is not very useful, and there is no toothpaste or salt... It hurts!" Su'er muttering was interrupted by the small stone that Think threw hard on his head.

Rubbing his head with his teeth bared, Su'er still rinsed his mouth with the water in the dark river.

"Come to think of it, did you use magic?", carrying Think on his back again, when his stomach was filled with some warm food again, Su'er felt that his legs became stronger, he asked casually: "I obviously changed several directions but I still ran into you in the end... Are you Sure you will run into me? You were not Surprised when you saw me appear."

"Why are you Surprised?", Think asked back, "Hehe, compared to the first time we met, Mr. Monkey seems to have changed now, has he found his true self?"

"...Is it?", walking forward, Su'er sighed, "After all, you and Okein are the only ones in the world who know that I am from another world. If we can talk happily, who would want to be bitter and resentful all day long?"

Su'er laughed at himself: "From this point of view, I have been the most abnormal in the past few years... Who can tell such things?"

He just got rid of some constraints now.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Although there was no sun, it was still a sunny day. Infected by the atmosphere of the land, Su'er and Think also became silent. In this monotonous and boring step, they finally reached the huge crack that tore the land apart.

From the crack under their feet to the end of the farthest sight, this crack, which was obviously not formed by the movement of natural continental plates, seemed to extend infinitely. Its name is - Strait.

At least that's what Riku taught Su'er.

No matter how many times he looked down from above, Su'er was terrified by this spectacular scene that was almost bottomless.

"This shouldn't be a naturally formed landform, right?" Su'er asked Think behind him knowingly, "Does the Nilvalen family have any records of this?"
