Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

"If you feel hot, you can take off one piece of clothing."

"..."

There are no granular snowflakes anymore, only dot-like snow.

It was still a bit difficult for me to wander around the train with my backpack on my back. After all, the snow had not completely melted, so I had to be careful in areas that were not firmly stepped on.

There must have been an earthquake.

There are cracks in the ground around the track. Looking a little further away, you can see various broken facilities.

It's definitely not a good place.

"Be careful, don't jump over like that."

"Hey, the bag is fine."

Because it's just me.

So I am the only one my brother-in-law can pay attention to and take care of.

It's not a good place, but that doesn't stop me from thinking of it as a good place.

I once imagined a world that was beyond the real world, where you didn't have to think about realistic problems, and just thought about good things.

Now, has this fantasy been fulfilled?

"Shh-"

monster.

This is the second time, and I didn’t have the energy to observe carefully before.

I saw it clearly when my brother-in-law stabbed another one to death.

The body is very soft and seems to have no spine. If you are not too close, you can't smell the strange smell, but if you get closer, you can smell a faint stench. It's like coming out of a biogas tank.

Aside from a small ring of ciliated mouthparts, there was nothing on the body to distinguish it from a head or tail. I had never seen anything like it before.

"Brother-in-law...have you eaten this kind of thing?"

"have eaten."

"Can it really be eaten?"

"I don't feel any problem at the moment. You don't have to eat unless it's absolutely necessary."

"..."

I'm not that pretentious.

As long as my brother-in-law says it’s okay to eat it, I can...right?

11 month 14 day.

Night.

Although visibility has improved a lot and the temperature is acceptable with a thick coat on,

But the harvest was not more than yesterday.

The snow outside the carriages melted, and the rust on the outer surface became more visible. I guessed that more than a dozen carriages might have been thrown off the track during the earthquake.

There were very few corpses, most of which had been eaten by some creatures.

If I lived here alone, I'd probably get more and more scared.

"..."

"?"

I put the clean earphones into my brother-in-law's ears.

play.

The small mp3 player worked fine. This was thanks to a few dry batteries I found, which I flattened and wired to power the mp3 player miraculously.

"Can you still do this?"

My brother-in-law was obviously surprised.

"When my sister used to tinker with the radio, I would help her."

I took advantage of this gap and sat next to my brother-in-law. He was very close.

Cut a few songs.

Sure enough, even after decades, there will still be people who are willing to listen to a good song over and over again.

"Our priority now is to ensure survival. Let's see if we can find a water source. Since it's going to rain and snow, there should be water nearby."

"After ensuring survival to the maximum extent possible, we can move to a suitable place to collect materials. Do you see this?

"..."

In fact, compared with the days in Sea Island City, there is not much difference.

survive.

hope.

Other survivors.

Is this necessary? My brother-in-law has to consider a lot, and he can't be like me... just sticking to the side with a simple mind, hoping that he can be noticed more or less.

It's ok.

Finding other people comes last. I totally agree, I don't care if there are other people in the world.

Of course. Maybe it's better without it.

11 month 14 day.

late at night.

Sadly, my brother-in-law no longer sleeps with me.

He chose to sit by the campfire and quietly watch the world outside. After all, the weather is no longer as bad as yesterday. If I say it's cold and I want to prevent colds, I will only be doubted.

Is it because the food we eat is too unnutritious?

Stomach discomfort.

I have thought about it, if it was my sister...she might be able to say it easily and ask her brother-in-law to help massage it or something like that.

I can't do that.

This is just a normal feeling of discomfort, which is normal in this world. If my brother-in-law has to take care of every little trouble, even if Tianran is very kind to me... it is impossible for me not to be annoyed at all.

11 month 15 day.

My brother-in-law hasn't slept. I can see that he is not in a good mood.

"If something happens, I will definitely slap my brother-in-law twice, and I guarantee that he will wake up immediately."

"...That's not necessary."

"..."

My brother-in-law is also a human being. He also needs sleep.

but me.

You can stare at him without any scruples when he is asleep.

That face, if thrown into a crowd, would not be special. If it were not for the elaborate dressing up on the day of my sister's wedding, it would be very ordinary.

My best friend once asked me, why does my sister like her brother-in-law? Is there some special charm?

Yes.

Although ordinary, it is worth looking at.

Although he looks no different from other people, you can feel safe just by being around him.

What's special about it?

Does being lustful count?

Seven years ago, I was a child and didn’t understand many things. Now, seven years later, I know what’s going on, including the secret language between my sister and brother-in-law and the strange noises next door at certain times.

In the end, the sign I put up to make sure my sister wasn't scared was also obscene.

Very strange.

But I can understand my sister's feelings after seeing it.

Being dignified, cold, and proud does not mean that you will not change with your partner after you fall in love and accept him/her wholeheartedly. My sister, who has maintained her image as a strong woman and elite for 18 years, feels reassured by those dirty words and thus takes courage.

I was clearly standing at the bathroom door at that time, but I was doing that kind of thing with my sister inside.

I just wanted to sleep peacefully in the middle of the night, but he took me away. He said I was sleepwalking.

……

If there is no emotion in doing that, what's the difference between my body and my sister's?

They say that men are monsters and animals who think with their lower body.

I haven't experienced that.

The only time was when I was misidentified.

I've watched the video.

A little boy who has never been in a relationship would imagine what the child's name would be just by touching the hand of a cute girl on the bus.

That day……

This is what I became.

After that, I always compare myself with my sister unconsciously. After all, she always tells me everything, such as wanting to do a manicure, wanting to try a perm, wanting to change her lip color, etc.

Why are you wearing such sexy underwear? You don't have a boyfriend.

My best friend complained about it.

Yes.

Why do I have a beautiful manicure like my sister? My feet are always hidden in my shoes, and no one can see them unless necessary. I use the same body lotion, and it won't be touched. Who knows what I use?

"...brother-in-law."

No response.

"..."

I looked at my brother-in-law curled up in the quilt and reached out my hand.

Can I not think about anything?

No need to think about the consequences, ethics, reality, or follow-up.

When I was a kid, I wanted to pull out my brother-in-law's beard. I never thought about anything else. I just reached out and did it.

bumped into.

Although I'm in a 'dream', my brother-in-law's beard grows. If he doesn't shave for two days, it will have a strong grainy feel.

Look outside again.

Has the snow stopped yet? It seems that there is only an occasional cold wind.

The tilted electric poles are half buried in the ground, but I actually think this kind of world is great.

What can I do if there is no result in the end?

Say it. If I get rejected, will I still be able to put on the same optimistic expression as I do now?

I don't know anything and can't guarantee anything.

If before any action is taken, there is a god who says "you will succeed" or "you will fail". Why didn't Nuwa consider adding this convenient function to humans when she created them?

"I also……"

Lift your chest slightly and adjust the inner position.

I am self-aware.
