I'm sorry original inventors. I took your idea and used it here.
But I'm so bored and this world needed some things though.
What's an ice cream machine? Ghost and Lion asked at the same time.
I explained it to them that ice cream back on earth is cold and sweet and is usually eaten on hot days though some people just enjoyed eating it even if the temperature is cold.
Oohh how do you make it? Ghost asked, clearly interested. Even Lion seemed captivated.
I tried to describe to them the function of an ice cream machine and Lion easily understood the concept. Meanwhile, Ghost suggested several fruits to be used.
But wait, where can i find dairy products?
Oh well, I'll ask Ghost about that later. He seemed more knowledgeable about food.
Though I need to ask Lion to make me a notebook and pen when we come back. It's so hard to describe some things and I prefer to draw them.
....
After some time, we all became silent. The night sky looked so bright and I can see the moons clearly, even the large planet. I couldn't imagine how many millennia it would take to finally explore this world and the planet near it. No wonder that change happens extremely slow. There's no hurry. Time seems of no importance here.
I can faintly see some creatures flying in the distant skies. The rivers' colors seemed glowing under the night sky and looked radiant. There are flowers (?) though I'm not sure if they REALLY are flowers but they looked like there even though they have different shapes and colors, unlike the flowers on earth. Still, they looked blooming at their fullest under the night sky.
I unconsciously pulled the blanket around me a bit more closer and stared at the flames. I'm beginning to love this world but at the same time, I'm trying to keep myself sane. Of course, it's so different from the world I'm used to. This world is real but at the same time, it seems unreal to me. I don't know how long those people in the anime who was isekaid to another world adjusted. It all looked and seemed easy. But in reality, it took some time to get used to. It's very different and unbelievable. I don't know how long will I completely adjust to this world. I'm afraid of losing my sanity. I want to experience an adventure which i know nobody have ever experienced before. I also want to change myself and become better.
Can I do that?
I was so absorbed in my own thoughts that I didn't noticed that Lion and Ghost moved closer to me and were sitting each side of me.
Hey, Ghost said as he stared at the flames. Do you miss your previous world?
I was surprised at the question.
A bit, I admitted to him sadly. Though to be honest, I'm beginning to love it here.
Lion hesitantly asked me, do you miss your family?
I smiled sadly. I admit that I do missed my family, I told him. I have my parents and my sister there. I know I won't see them again and that's what made me sad since I didn't get to tell them goodbye.
I wiped away a tear and continued, sometimes I feel lonely and when I feel lonely, I remembered them. I don't know what they are doing right now since time flows differently here. Maybe they are dead already.
I bit my lip and tried to hold back my tears.
Both Ghost and Lion hugged me while I, finally felt overwhelmed with emotions, cried.
Nothing in this world prepared me for this.
They didn't mentioned anything about being separated from loved ones in the novels. If they did, they didn't emphasized it.
It's hard, knowing that you will never see them again or that you can go back to your previous world. In just a blink, your world became different and reality doesn't seem real. It's a wonder how my sanity is still intact after all of these experiences and emotions. I won't deny the fact that there are times I want to go back. But to be honest, I loved the adventure I had here. I loved the fact that I tried to grow mentally and emotionally. I don't want to go back the way I was. But yeah, I missed my family.
....
I really appreciate that I learned to like something I could be good at, Ghost soothed me. I never knew that I would enjoy the thought of selling stuff and even the concept of delivery seemed intriguing to me. I thought that my only purpose and work is to do research and explore.
He grinned, making me feel warm.
Lion seemed lost in his thoughts. He kept staring at the flames for a long time.
We feel silent after a while. I yawned and closed my eyes. My eyes feel heavy to open.
I feel an arm holding me while trying to lay me down on something soft. Somehow, I feel safe around them. If it was on earth, something bad would definitely happen to me. These two made me feel safe and even though one is a predator, he never harmed me or tried to take advantage of me.
Even though my eyes are closed, I can still hear or feel. I can hear Lion and Ghost bickering about something. Then I feel someone put what seems to be a thicker blanket on me. I somehow feel someone trying to hold my head and place a soft pillow-like thing under my head.
Now I'm so comfortable.
Before long, I finally fell asleep.
....
I don't know how long was I asleep but it looks like I'm sleeping for several hours.
Ghost transformed into his other form and was floating beside me. I seemed to sense that he is sleeping since I can't see his eyes.
Lion is sleeping while sitting down with his back resting on a tree trunk while his tail curled around his body.
I sat up and noticed that Lion magically made me a cloud pillow while there's a cotton like object that acts as pillow which I suspected that Ghost must have placed.
I smiled to myself, feeling very fortunate that I met these two. I know if I met the other creatures, I won't survive for long in this world. I shuddered involuntarily.
The suns are up in the sky and I feel a bit hot since Lion did not put out the flames. I removed the blanket and the cloak but still I feel hot. I removed the trench coat I am wearing and noticed that I'm sweating.
I stood up and tried to get away from the flames. Lion and Ghost are still sleeping soundly so I decided to explore the place. I don't intend to walk far from them. I know it's not safe and I'm not stupid enough not to have common sense. But still I'm sweating so I tried to walk further from the flames.
After a few minutes of walking, all I could see are trees, vegetation and huge boulders. I heard a sound of a water flow and to my relief, it is a small spring. I hesitantly tried to touch the spring water, expecting it to be dangerous. To my relief, it seems safe enough and the water is a bit warm and comforting. I removed my sandals and tried to step into the water. Good thing it's not deep and the water is only up to my waist.
I went back to where we camped and since the two are still sleeping deeply, I took the cloak and the blanket and went back to the spring. I somehow made a makeshift covering which fortunately the blanket is big enough, though I still can be seen in the side but not so much.
I removed my clothes and went into the water. Cuss word. It felt soooo good. It's like bathing in a hot spring only this water is warm and comforting, not hot.
I sat down and the water is up to my shoulders. I removed my hair tie and let my sticky hair flow on my shoulders. My scalp felt so itchy. I tried to wash my hair and felt lighter. Oh. My. Word. I want to stay here for awhile. All my body pain went away and my feet felt soft.
Suddenly, I heard some footsteps. Cuss word. Oh no. I hurriedly tried to find the cloak to cover myself since I washed my clothes, to no avail. Cuss word, cuss word, cuss word! Where did I put that cloak?
Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew away the blanket and there I was, standing naked in front of Lion and Ghost.
Cuss word.
