Human beings are always curious, and this is something that cannot be contained or denied.

El admits that she has the same characteristics as all human beings, but on this basis, her curiosity is particularly strong.

In a short period of experiments, El was already familiar with the organizational structure of mushrooms.

As long as she picks up a knife, she can skillfully cut the mushroom into perfect, consistent-sized slices, and in the process, she will also carefully keep the mushroom alive.

She is calm and quick, with a cruelty that is unmatched by ordinary people.

But - cruelty to monsters?

El feels that this is also a common trait among human beings, so she doesn't feel the slightest bit ashamed about it.

The mushroom beast does not express any dissatisfaction in a human tone.

During her time in the rainforest, she quickly indulged in this kind of life, where she could openly dissect fresh mushrooms every day. In comparison, even the peaches she ate every day were not so unbearable.

Life in the rainforest is actually very inconvenient.

The problem of food and accommodation is barely solved, but other than these, there are not even extra activities to do in the rainforest, and you have to beware of potential dangers.

At night, their sleep was divided into the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

For research purposes, they camped very close to the mushroom herd.

The grass elemental mushroom beast and the water elemental mushroom beast that Sano captured last time have been finished by Ilhoho. Two shiny crystals were lying at his feet. Ilguan didn't care about it and started to deal with the fire elemental thing in his hand. .

This is their fifteenth day in the rainforest.

Sano was cooking simple food in front of a pot set up not far away, and turned to look at El from time to time.

El didn't pay attention, concentrating on the experiment in his hand.

"At this time, perhaps Tinari has returned from the inspection." Sainuo said, "Would you like to go into the city to replenish supplies and see him by the way?"

El didn't look back: "Two more days."

She had a hunch that maybe this fresh mushroom was different from the ones she had spent on soaking in solution before, and maybe... it could bring some surprises.

Sano turned to ask: "Do you want something to eat?"

El: "Don't eat."

Seno: "By the way, El, I left animal meat and poultry meat for you before. You should have cooked and eaten it yourself, right?"

Hearing this, Yi Er responded with some guilt: "Eat it, don't worry."

Sano expressed his disapproval of her behavior of eating only Dundun peaches. Since then, every time he hunted, he would give a portion of the meat to El. In his words:

——This way the nutrition is balanced.

She was about to straighten up to get the equipment placed in the tent, but suddenly she felt dizzy.

El's body shook uncontrollably, and he suddenly became dizzy, with sharp tinnitus in his ears.

Seno immediately looked at her: "El, what's wrong with you?"

The ringing in his ears was so loud that El couldn't hear him.

She staggered two steps, and the scene in front of her suddenly turned dark. She uncontrollably held on to the table beside her, her fingertips trembling. She explored a few times and was about to fumble to find the solution she had prepared before, but she accidentally knocked something over.

She held on and didn't fall down. The next moment, Sano stabilized her.

"Il? Il?!"

Seno's mouth opened and closed, briefly partially overlapping with the suddenly dark surrounding vision, and then completely darkened.

El suddenly realized what was happening to him.

She trembled and said: "Dunduntao, give it to me, eat something..."

I couldn't hear what Seno was saying, and even my vision was blurry... Il, who really couldn't hold on, couldn't hold on anymore, and lost consciousness as soon as his eyes closed.

When he opened his eyes again, El had already arrived at the health home from the rainforest tent.

It was still the familiar roof, even the familiar bed, and there was a familiar plush long-eared researcher in front of him.

All of this...why does it seem like I've gone back to many years ago...

—Wait, researcher with plush ears? ! !

El suddenly woke up.

"The doctor said it was caused by malnutrition and irregular diet..." A familiar voice from my brother sounded, "Fortunately, there was no big problem, Sano, do you know what Il ate during that time? "

El's heart tightened, and then Senuo's voice sounded: "Dundun Tao."

El: "..."

It's over.

Tinari: "Don't tell me this is all."

There was silence.

Tinari: “Really only eat this??!!!”

Seno: "...It's my fault."

He and El didn't always stay together.

After all, this is a collaborative research topic. Er has his own part to be responsible for, and so does Sano. He had to go out to work on his projects and spent less time in the camp than El.

Sano also had to pay attention to surrounding security. He would leave the animal meat and poultry meat he got from hunting for Il, but Il didn't seem to be very good at cooking and eating it himself.

After she fell into coma, before Seno quickly took her to Xumi City, he noticed while he was sorting things out——

She would slice the meat and mushrooms together, then do research and graft them onto a rich variety of mushrooms.

Sano didn't understand.

But there was no time to understand.

——El really prefers to eat a few peaches directly. Sometimes when the research reaches a certain stage, she won't even eat peaches.

Seno thought to himself...if only he could have noticed earlier.

He willingly took Tinari's scolding, and then El felt it was time for him to wake up.

...you have to face it.

El looked at Tinari with a stern look, and cautiously asked: "Tinari, have you calmed down?"

Tinari crossed his arms and looked at her, "What do you think, El?"

El: "...I, I was wrong."

Tinari: "That's it?"

El subconsciously turned to look at Sano, hoping that he could say a few nice words to her. However, after Sano was approved, he sat on the chair nearby very well. He noticed her gaze and said something seriously. :"Feel sorry."

El: "..."

"You know, people are always curious..."

"But that's not the reason for your irregular diet, El." Tinari said seriously, "You even used the ingredients that Seno gave you for research."

"El, your study is not bad. I think you should know that such eating habits are harmful to the body, right?"

El: "..."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Tinari looked at her with a faint look, "I didn't know until I returned to Xumi City that you had done such a big thing, Er... secretly luring monsters into the city. ?”

IL:! ! !

She looked at Seno uncontrollably.

——Didn’t you say you would keep it a secret? ! !

Sano: "It's not me."

Tinari noticed her gaze and exposed her ruthlessly: "Don't look at Seno. I learned this from the Disciplinary Officer."

The cause of the matter was that Tinari did not see his sister after returning to Sumeru City. He wanted to find Sainuo, but Sainuo also disappeared.

Feeling strange, he went to find Kyulesh. Fortunately, Kyulesh knew: [You mean Il? She and Sano went to the rainforest to study the project together. Why...Didn't Il tell you? 】

[I didn’t come back at that time...]

[You didn’t leave a note? ] Gyulesh was surprised and then sighed to himself, [So, Il is still a little afraid of you...]

【Why do you say that? 】

"Thanks to Mr. Gulesh, I know now." Tinari looked at her.

El: "..."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Tinari sighed after a long time.

"El." He looked at his sister seriously, "I know it's commendable for you to pursue your curiosity, but -"

"Sometimes, we should have a steelyard in our hearts."

What should be done and what should not be done needs to be measured.

For example, luring monsters into the city, even if this is a deal that Ir spent money to make, even if the monster is seriously injured and on the verge of death, this is not allowed.

Another example is this time when I ignored my health for research and unfortunately fainted...

“Before researching, you have to look out for yourself first.”

Illan: "I know."

Tinari said seriously: "You promise."

"I promise." She took a deep breath, looked into his eyes, and said seriously.

"I promise that I will never be overly curious about the unknown, I will never conduct research that violates religious orders, and I will never disregard my own body. Before being a researcher, I am myself first."

Tinari smiled.

El thought that her brother was a good man.

Sometimes she took too much care, and she was very reluctant in her heart, but she also knew that Tinari was thinking about her.

Everyone is telling her:

——Control excessive curiosity and follow secular rules.

Only in this way can she protect herself.

El had already suffered for this. Although she had forgotten it, her subconscious body reaction also told her that it was not a good memory.

So she will listen.

She will listen.
