Cut the banana leaves with a knife.
Intersperse banana leaves in a wavy pattern within a frame made of branches.
Pieces of banana leaves are spread out in a partially cascading pattern.
"It's done~!" Looking at the first formed awning component, Kaguya felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart.
However, this sense of accomplishment only lasted three seconds. Next to him, Eirin, who was tying branches with vines, made Kaguya realize the fact: "Thank you for your hard work, princess. I have already weaved several frames."
"Uh..." Kaguya's smile fell.
Due to sufficient curiosity, she raised objections without hearing the word "manual labor" and sat down to work with a positive and even excited attitude. However, her physical strength, patience, and perseverance were lower than ordinary people's levels, and she was not suitable for all contents. Highly repetitive work.
I don’t know if the term “princess disease” is appropriate to describe a real princess. Anyway, it would not be surprising at all for this symptom to appear in her.
"Princess~?" Yong Lin stopped what he was doing and raised his head with a kind smile.
"Ma, go right away!" Kaguya swallowed her suggestion that she wanted to try another job, and quickly went over to pick up the frame of the awning components on the ground, and went to the side to process the banana leaves.
"..." Yong Lin shook his head, lowered his head and continued his work.
Her doting on Kaguya is self-evident. On the one hand, she took into account Kaguya's work ability, and on the other hand, she took care of her mood. She handled the construction materials, built the awning frame, and built the banana leaf bed all by herself. The easiest task of assembling the blades was left to Kaguya.
However, there must be a limit to pampering, and if he wants to quit working after less than half an hour, even she can't stand it, and she can't help but question her past education methods.
(Swish) When Kaguya was assembling the fifth awning component and Eirin had just built the first banana leaf bed, the sound of swaying branches and leaves came from the woods.
Kaguya, who was tired of this job, quickly threw down the frame in her hand, stood up and complained in the direction of the woods: "Why are you coming back now? I'm almost running out of banana leaves~"
"We went around in big circles and then small circles to find out what resources there were on this island." Feiton walked out of the woods, carrying a banana tree with six coconuts and a large bundle of branches tied to it on his shoulders. This is part of the results of the exploration, "Huh? You guys are moving very fast. You've finished most of it in such a short time?"
"Of course, it doesn't matter who we are~" Kaguya, who had a share of credit, answered confidently.
"I just chose the simplest structure. Without using magic, I have no way to build three decent thatched houses before nightfall." Yonglin did not intend to elaborate on the division of labor, but just looked at Feiton's shoulder. Banana tree on the tree, he joked, "Speaking of which, is this what you understand as the 'ability of ordinary people'?"
Feiton found a place to put down the banana tree that ordinary people could never carry, and said with a smile: "That's just a loose rule of the game. If you treat it as a prohibition that you have to follow, it will become uncomfortable."
"What's this?" Kaguya said dissatisfiedly, feeling that she had been tricked.
"If you can't use it, don't use it, but if you need to use it, use it." A hint of understanding flashed in Yonglin's eyes, and he looked at Feiton, "I see... there is indeed no wrong code name."
"By the way, I recommend you use water magic to solve drinking and domestic water problems." Feiton pointed in a certain direction, "I found a pond with bacteria, insect eggs, animal excrement, and rotten leaves in it. Although The water inside has been boiled to meet the standard of drinking water for survival, but I guess you won’t be able to accept it.”
No need for Kaguya to wink wildly, Eirin was unwilling to drink this fresh water, and continued the topic: "In this case, these coconut shells must be put to good use, until you can bake the pottery, this is what we can use The best container.”
This was an era before plastic was invented, and you couldn’t find plastic bottles on the beach.
Feiton clapped his hands and went to untie the vines on the banana tree: "We have brought back the water and food for the first day. You can go and have a rest. Leave the rest of the camp building work to me."
"Hmph~ There's no reason to give up halfway!" Kaguya suddenly felt full of motivation again, and sat down again to continue assembling the awning components, which was even more efficient than before.
"Haha~" Seeing Kaguya's appearance, Eirin was both angry and amused.
But one thing Kaguya said was right, and she didn't want to give up halfway - this kind of life of completely abandoning magic and working in the most primitive way was so long ago that it went beyond the category of 'nostalgic', and only felt 'fresh'.

Feiton set up the camp at the junction of the beach and the woods. Although he could give reasons such as being close to the sea, having fewer snakes, insects, rats, and ants, and having a flat terrain, what he valued most was the good scenery on the beach, looking at the endless scenery. The sea will make you feel better.
The camp currently only consists of a canopy, three beds, and a bonfire. It can only protect against rain but not wind. Feiton plans to drag a few dead trees over tomorrow and build something similar to a canopy around it to deal with the sea breeze. The problem is that the campfire is located in the middle of the camp, and ordinary storms cannot get it wet; the three beds are arranged around the campfire, and the comfort level cannot be too high. The main thing is to leave the ground at a distance to avoid being eaten by snakes, insects, rats, and ants while sleeping. Climb on top.
As night fell, the three of them, who obviously had good night vision, ended their day's work in a disciplined manner and had their first dinner on the island——
"It tastes bad...is this really the banana I know?" Kaguya said with a grimace as she chewed the unripe banana that could be seen from the color of the peel.
Feiton didn't have a grimace on his face, but he couldn't be happy either. He ate calmly: "Well, I really want to tell you that it's just because the bananas aren't ripe yet... But it's really hard to answer your question. This is a different dimension. Is what is called a 'banana' under the magic of translation really the banana you and I know?"
In addition, it is not possible to confirm that the bananas from the continent of Samria that Feiton knows and the bananas from the earth that Kaguya knows are the same thing. He is not so bored that he observes microscopically all the animals and plants in every world he visits. Structure and test genome sequences.
"That's not the point!" Kaguya said with no interest in academic issues at all, full of resentment, "What I want to say is, are bananas the only thing to eat?"
Feiton corrected him: "There are also banana tree cores."
"That one is not delicious either." Kaguya glanced at the contents of Eirin's coconut shell. Eirin was quite satisfied with the banana tree core, because she never knew that this thing could be eaten.
"And coconut meat," Feton continued.
"I can't say it tastes bad, but it doesn't taste good, right?" The coconut juice was well received, and Kaguya didn't mind drinking it a few more times.
"It's really troublesome. It seems I have to help you find some valuable protein." Feiton put down the green banana, walked to the pile of dead wood he had dragged over to use as fuel, and pulled away the bark with a 'snap' sound.
"Ah...you are so lucky. It's juicy and nutritious." Feiton caught some new food from under the bark of the tree, walked up to Kaguya, and held out his hand.
"What? Is there anything to eat under the bark?" Without noticing Eirin's hesitant expression, Kaguya stretched out her little hand.
One second later.
"Eaa-!!!"
After that, Kaguya ignored Feton all night.
