"Can we really only choose three items...?"
Okabe muttered to himself, various scenarios that might occur on the island flashing rapidly through his mind.
"Okabe-kun, what are you planning to choose?" Alice Nakiri leaned in and asked.
She had already made her choices, holding a multifunctional chef's knife, a folded raincoat, and a small first-aid kit in her hands.
"I haven't decided yet."
Okabe shook his head.
The more he considered, the more he hesitated. He was currently in a state where he had to constantly subtract items in his mind, thinking about what he truly needed.
Not far away, Soma Yukihira was decisive. He held his most commonly used kitchen knife in his hand, then took out a portable lighter and a small pot from his suitcase.
"Having basic cooking tools is enough."
He raised the small pot in his hand, tapping his fingertips lightly against the bottom. Hearing the crisp sound it produced, a satisfied look appeared on his face.
Erina Nakiri's choices focused more on practicality.
Considering they were in the wild, she also took her customary chef's knife. In addition, she chose moisture-proof matches and a roll of sturdy rope.
These were items she had specially prepared after learning the destination was an island. Originally, she just wanted to be prepared for any eventuality, but she didn't expect them to actually come in handy.
"Phew..."
Seeing the people around him successively selecting their necessities, Okabe took the Wu Qu Knife in his hand. A kitchen knife is the soul of a chef and a necessity for wilderness survival.
Next was a clay pot. Compared to an iron pot, the thick walls of a clay pot were more suitable for slow-simmering dishes. In a situation with limited resources, it could produce dishes with richer flavor.
However, when selecting the final item, Okabe hesitated. Eventually, he picked up a deck of playing cards.
"Let's go with these for now."
The knife and pot were for basic cooking, and the playing cards were for entertainment.
Considering they would be staying on the island for a month, entertainment was the most important thing besides survival; it was essential for maintaining mental health.
As for salt and fresh water, Okabe could handle those through distillation. After all, being by the seaside, those two things were arguably the easiest to obtain.
Ten minutes flew by.
Suitcases on the ground were opened one after another. Boys and girls picked things up and put them down, choosing the three items they needed most amidst reluctance and hesitation.
"Time's up!"
When Gin Dojima raised the megaphone again, the vast majority of students had made their choices.
Everyone's expression was different.
Some were triumphant, some regretful, and others were bewildered.
In such a hurried situation, choosing the optimal tools was truly difficult. They could only bring the tools they believed were best at this stage to face the unknown challenges.
The staff began checking the students' luggage one by one, registering the three items they kept, and then collecting the remaining suitcases to pile them in a temporary tent by the beach.
Megumi Tadokoro clutched her three items tightly.
A small knife, a packet of salt, and a water bottle.
Her eyes were slightly red.
Because many things she had prepared for this Residential Training had been confiscated. Those were her confidence, and now that confidence had been taken away.
In other words, she could only rely on herself now.
As the suitcases were taken away and stored in the tent, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat oppressive.
Everyone's complexion wasn't very good. Okabe quietly observed everyone, committing their faces to memory while silently reciting their names in his heart.
Because Tōtsuki recruited students globally, he saw a small group in the crowd composed of several black and white students. They were whispering something to each other, posturing as a clique.
The leaders of the black and white students, respectively, stood in the center of the group, surrounded like stars around the moon. They were Sequence 5, Adana, and Sequence 8, Deville.
Sequence 5, Adana, was Indonesian. Her skin was a healthy dark wheat color. She excelled in various Indian cuisines, especially curry; any ingredient that passed through her hands could be turned into a uniquely flavored curry.
Sequence 8, Deville, was French. He excelled in French cuisine, particularly mastering the preparation of various sauces, and was hailed by the younger generation as the "Sauce Magician."
These two were the cream of the crop among the international students of this Tōtsuki batch, one-in-a-million existences. At this moment, they were sizing up the other surrounding students with scrutinizing gazes.
Adana had coiled her long hair up neatly, her expression calm.
She had chosen a thick-backed machete, a sturdy copper curry pot, and a large bag of mixed spices. These were enough for her upcoming survival.
Deville, on the other hand, picked a kitchen knife, a set of refined sauce spoons, and a jar of sealed high-grade olive oil.
"It seems everyone has their own plans."
Real iron pots versus Okabe's playing cards.
"Hmph, you can't survive on an island for a month relying on petty cleverness. When it comes to the ability to adapt to the environment, no one here can beat us Indonesians!"
Adana muttered a sentence in Hindi, weighing the machete in her hand, a sense of reliability surging in her heart.
Gin Dojima took everyone's reactions into his eyes. He cleared his throat and raised the megaphone again:
"It seems everyone has made their choice.
Then, I will announce the first assignment of this Residential Training: 'Island Survival'!"
The students immediately held their breath and concentrated.
"The content of the assignment is very simple: survival. You will form groups of five, utilize the three tools you selected, collect basic supplies, and live on this island.
Aside from basic survival, every night you must use ingredients from the island to cook a dish and bring it here. Those who do not reach the passing line will be sent back.
This is the assignment for the first week. During this period, excellent dishes produced will have their recipes published for everyone to exchange and learn from, while also earning point credits.
These points, once obtained, can be exchanged at Tōtsuki for rewards beyond your imagination."
His gaze sweeping over the uneasy students, Gin Dojima's voice rang out across the site. His words also caused a brief chaos.
"Groups of five?"
"It sounds simple, but who should I team up with at a time like this?!"
"Saito, how about the two of us form a group? We faced off in the Sequence Battle before, so we have some understanding of each other's strength."
"Okay. I'm good at handling animal offal, and you're good at handling the animal itself. The two of us pairing up can utilize ingredients perfectly without waste."
"Although I don't get these point credits, since they can be exchanged for things with great value, we must fiercely secure them to avoid being jealous seeing good things when we get back."
"Inoue, let's be together!"
"Not with you, I already have a partner."
"Huh? Aren't we best brothers! Who else would want you besides me?!"
"Just now, four girls invited me. I thought about it and agreed. There really isn't a spot for you now. You also hope I live well, right, brother!"
Everyone spoke at once.
Seeking people they were close with to form teams; some readily agreed, while others suffered bitter betrayal.
Fortunately, 100 people could form 20 groups. Even if someone was briefly left alone, they would benefit from the even distribution and eventually be merged into other groups.
"Okabe-kun! Team up with me!"
Almost as soon as Gin Dojima's voice fell, Alice Nakiri hugged Okabe's arm and shouted in a coquettish tone, causing goosebumps to rise instantly on his skin.
"Although I'd like to, I think we should first look at the tools we selected. It's best if we can complement each other, so our survival hereafter can be easier," Okabe said rationally.
Subsequently, he took out the Wu Qu Knife, the clay pot, and the playing cards, placing them in front of the group.
The reason Gin Dojima stated the requirement of five-person groups only after the tools were selected was likely out of this consideration.
The purpose was to make chefs step out of their original social circles and choose their teammates rationally. After all, the dishes made with the kitchenware were closely related to the final score.
Just like the eternal rational judgment in cooking.
"What you say makes sense. In terms of knives, we overlap here, but I have a first-aid kit and a raincoat. At the same time, I have mastered various first-aid knowledge!"
As Alice Nakiri spoke, she also placed the three kitchen tools she selected in the center, then looked up at the others, waiting for them to bring their things out too.
"Aside from the knife and pot provided by Okabe-kun, I can provide a lighter. A fire source is indispensable for survival in the wild."
Soma Yukihira placed the lighter in the center. He didn't bother putting down the other items since everyone had them.
Although one could drill wood for fire in the forest, it wasn't possible to do that every day. If rain caused the wood to become damp, a lighter would be the final life-saving straw!
"I have a tactical backpack and a casserole pot here. Since I thought we'd be staying here for a month, a backpack should be a very important item."
Yuki Yoshino raised her hand and said.
"I took a knife, a lighter, and homemade charcoal..."
Shun Ibusaki also put the charcoal in.
"I... I have a small knife, salt, and a water bottle. They should be able to come in handy.
Can I team up with you? Okabe-kun..."
Megumi Tadokoro summoned her courage to look at Okabe. Her expression was cramped, clearly very nervous.
"It's fine, but why are you carrying salt with you?"
Okabe asked with some curiosity. Hearing his question, the others also looked over. Bringing salt specifically to a Residential Training was, to be honest, very counter-intuitive.
Could it be that Megumi Tadokoro knew some inside information in advance?
"Be... Because there is a legend in our place that carrying salt from home when going out brings good luck. So I brought a bag before leaving. I didn't expect it to come in handy..."
Megumi Tadokoro's expression was exceptionally awkward.
Saying in this kind of setting that she brought salt just for good luck truly made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
"How is this not a kind of good luck?"
After listening to her words, Okabe couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Yukihira, do you have teammates? Why don't the few of us form a team? Me, Isami, and you, then find two more guys to make up the numbers!"
While they were discussing, Takumi's voice came from a distance. He hurriedly arrived in front of Soma Yukihira, then issued an invitation somewhat awkwardly.
"I don't really care; cooking is cooking no matter where it is. But what tools did you guys choose? If they aren't useful, I don't want to go."
Looking at the brothers Takumi and Isami, curiosity was present in Soma Yukihira's voice.
"I brought the family heirloom 'Mezzaluna', as well as a cutting board perfectly adapted for it, and a large stew pot that can suspend-cut stock!"
As Takumi spoke, he took down the traditional Italian half-moon shaped meat-cutting knife he was carrying on his back. The blade flashed with a cold light under the sun.
Beside him, Isami took out a canvas water bag and a glass jar somewhat shyly: "I brought a water bag that can hold ten liters of water, as well as a jar of tomato paste made some time ago, and a basil plant with roots.
After stabilizing, we can find a place to plant it, and then we can use it continuously."
"Eh, you actually brought a whole plant..."
Looking at the flower pot held in Isami's arms, Soma Yukihira revealed a surprised expression.
"It was Brother. He said freshly picked basil has a richer fragrance, so I brought the basil grown at home along."
Isami smiled naively and scratched his head.
"So how exactly are we grouping? Counting the two new arrivals, we have twelve people here. That means no matter how we divide, two people must find new combinations."
Erina Nakiri stated the crux of the problem.
She hesitated for a few seconds, looked at Alice Nakiri who was holding Okabe's hand, and reached out to pull her over.
"Alice, you'd better be in a group with me!"
"Eh? Why so sudden? Could it be that you can't live without me, Erina?"
Feeling the force coming from her hand and hearing what Erina Nakiri said, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but tease, yet she didn't break free from her pull.
"Haven't you always wanted to defeat Okabe-kun? I have a similar idea. It just so happens that taking advantage of this island survival, we can have a proper contest."
Erina Nakiri looked at Alice Nakiri, perceiving the hidden anticipation deep in her eyes, then looked at Okabe on the other side, her words rising with fighting spirit.
"Woah, is this a declaration of war?
A fierce island confrontation between Sequence 7 and Sequence 1—just thinking about it feels very exciting to watch!"
Alice Nakiri pretended to reveal a surprised expression and fanned the flames in a joking tone. In reality, she had long guessed Erina's thoughts and decisively chose to join.
Compared to standing with Okabe, she indeed wanted to defeat him with her own hands even more.
This was almost becoming her obsession.
"That's roughly the situation. Unable to resist Erina's gracious invitation, plus I also want to compete with Okabe-kun, I'll stand on the opposite side for now!"
Alice Nakiri's expression suddenly became very serious.
For the past three years, she had been thinking all the time about how to defeat Okabe. Now, in this desert island survival, she could finally display her strength!
"In that case, let's group up like this."
Looking at the determination on the girl's face, Okabe pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke.
"Me, Megumi, Mito, Soma, and Takumi will form one team."
"Yuki, Ryoko, Ibusaki, and Isami, you four are tentatively set as one team. You go find one more member to form a five-person squad."
"Erina, Alice, Hisako, you three form a team, then find two more members."
Looking at the gathered boys and girls, Okabe stated his plan.
One team was assigned five people, and the other two teams were assigned three to four people. This way, even if new members joined later, they could still hold the initiative.
"Looking at it now, there doesn't seem to be a better way. Let's do this for now."
Hearing Okabe's words, everyone on the scene looked at each other for a few seconds. Ultimately, no one rejected his proposal, not even the brothers Takumi and Isami.
As for Megumi Tadokoro and Ikumi Mito, whom he selected, they revealed excited expressions at this moment. Not only because of the peace of mind of being with a strong person, but more because of the person Okabe himself.
"Then it's settled."
Okabe nodded with satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the four teammates he had chosen.
Megumi Tadokoro stood nervously on the spot, Ikumi Mito wrapped her bone-chopping knife in cloth, Soma Yukihira played with the lighter, and Takumi wiped that Mezzaluna.
This combination was surprisingly balanced.
The other two groups also moved quickly.
Ryoko Sakaki, Yuki Yoshino, Shun Ibusaki, and Isami quickly found a fifth member. It was Ryo Kurokiba, currently Sequence 39, who was left alone due to his withdrawn personality; he agreed lazily after receiving the invitation.
On Erina Nakiri's side, seeing they had two empty spots, Miyoko Hojo and Nao Sadatsuka volunteered to join, filling the five spots.
At this point, most people on the scene had already formed teams. Even the few who were left alone were quickly absorbed by teams lacking people.
Those who could appear here were at worst Sequence 100 contestants, so there was no need to worry too much about strength. Grouping was more about whether they could get along.
After all, they would have to live together for a month. If it was a prickly person with a bad personality, having them or not wouldn't make much difference; instead, it would just be asking for trouble.
Gin Dojima stood on high, watching the small squads being established and showing each other their only tools, a hint of a smile surfacing at the corner of his mouth.
This was exactly what he wanted to see.
Under circumstances where resources were extremely limited, the instinct for cooperation and complementarity would naturally manifest. If they encountered similar situations in the future, they would also have experience to cope.
"Next, staff members will register the grouping information." He raised the megaphone again: "So now, each squad please come to collect basic survival supplies.
By the way, today's dinner is your first exam question. All ingredients must come from this island, and the cooking tools are only those three in your hands.
Before sunset, send your dishes here. The judges will conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on 'Survival Adaptability' and 'Deliciousness.' Those who fail—"
He paused, his gaze sharp: "Will immediately take the next boat to leave!"
The students swallowed their saliva in unison.
They felt pressure in their hearts.
"Let's go collect survival supplies."
"I'll go with you."
Seeing this scene, Okabe turned his head and spoke to the others. Soma Yukihira and Takumi nodded slightly; as the boys of the team, they actively undertook this duty.
Soon, they received two olive-green tents, as well as five sets of thin sleeping bags and moisture-proof mats. These were their basic supplies.
"Next is to find a suitable place to pitch the tents. Since there are creatures on the island, there should be river water, or at worst, something like a lake."
Okabe thought for a moment and stated his idea.
"You're right. Building near mountains and dwelling by water is an iron law of human civilization development.
Settling by the river, we won't have to worry about water sources. If we're lucky, we can also catch quite a few fish. Let's solve today's assignment with fish!"
As his voice fell, Takumi beside him immediately nodded in agreement.
"First, search for a water source. We'll split into two groups. Soma, Takumi, you form one group. Regardless of whether you find it or not, gather at this spot in half an hour."
"Okay."
"Understood."
No one on the scene questioned Okabe's decision.
As the strong Sequence 1, his speech carried a natural filter. As long as no major mistakes occurred, everyone was willing to listen to his command.
On one hand, it saved trouble; on the other hand, if something went wrong, there was someone to take the blame.
"You guys go toward the northeast; we'll go up along the northwest."
Okabe pointed in the northeast direction and spoke to Soma Yukihira and Takumi.
The southeast and southwest were both beach areas. To find a water source, one could only go north. Therefore, after assigning the directions, Okabe headed straight for the northwest.
Seeing this situation, Ikumi Mito and Megumi Tadokoro looked at each other, then quickly followed, moving within a two-meter range of Okabe.
The island was large, and the vegetation was dense.
The area they were currently active in was just the landing zone range. Having been processed by Tōtsuki specialists, they wouldn't encounter danger as long as they didn't go too deep.
Okabe carried the Wu Qu Knife, walking in front to clear the path.
Ikumi Mito and Megumi Tadokoro followed behind, their gazes scanning the ground, not letting go of even a tiny corner, trying to find usable ingredients.
"Okabe-kun, this... can we eat this?" Megumi Tadokoro pointed at several plants with thick leaves and serrated edges, asking somewhat uncertainly.
Hearing the voice, Okabe stopped his steps and squatted down, his expression surprised: "It's wild amaranth. After blanching, it can be dressed cold or cooked in soup. Pick some tender leaves to take back!"
"Okay!"
Hearing it was an edible ingredient, Megumi Tadokoro revealed an excited expression. She immediately took out the small knife from her pocket and harvested a few of the tenderest leaves.
"The taste of amaranth is slightly astringent, but it's rich in iron and very suitable for replenishing physical strength. Eating a dish like this when exhausted is actually quite nice."
While explaining to the two, Okabe continued to explore forward. The back of the Wu Qu Knife occasionally pushed aside the grass blocking their way, making rustling sounds.
Ikumi Mito observed the surrounding environment vigilantly. Her gaze was sharp, and the bone-chopping knife in her hand was ready to swing at any moment: "Okabe-kun, there seems to be movement on the left."
Okabe stopped and looked in the direction she indicated, only to see the bushes shaking slightly, and a grey-brown figure flashing past.
The next moment, the Wu Qu Knife flew out. The grey-brown figure let out a whimper and fell to the ground.
"It's a wild rabbit. Our luck is not bad."
Okabe walked up quickly, grabbed the wild rabbit's ears, and waved it in front of Megumi Tadokoro and Ikumi Mito. Then he saw the two standing on the spot with their mouths slightly open.
"Okabe... Okabe-kun, what you just did?"
Megumi Tadokoro's face still carried a shocked expression. She raised her finger, pointing at the wild rabbit in Okabe's hand and the Wu Qu Knife that was dripping blood, not knowing what to say.
"That was too amazing!"
The knife flew out with a 'whoosh', and then the wild rabbit's throat was sealed with one slash. With such technique, this island survival had directly opened in easy mode, right?!
In comparison, Ikumi Mito behaved exceptionally excitedly. Her gaze looking at Okabe was full of adoration.
She didn't expect that not only were his culinary skills astonishing, but his hunting skills were also terribly strong. Just this move was enough to solve their food problem for this month.
"Just basic operations. In wilderness survival, obtaining protein is very critical."
"Rabbit meat can be stewed, the offal can be seasoned, and the fur might even be useful after drying. Every part is a good thing, exactly what we need."
Okabe skillfully tied the wild rabbit and hung it at his waist.
While at Ryōzanpaku, he had hunted in the back mountain with Shigure Kōsaka quite often, which allowed him to train a very formidable instant-draw knife technique.
As long as he saw the trace of prey, the knife in his hand could shoot out, sealing its throat and killing it in an instant.
After all, sometimes if one hesitated even slightly, the prey would run without a trace. Before mastering the instant-draw knife technique, he had let quite a few prey escape due to hesitation.
"Let's continue forward. Obtaining ingredients isn't the main purpose of our departure this time. Hopefully, we can find a water source smoothly."
Wiping the bloodstains off on the ferns nearby with the Wu Qu Knife, he then sheathed the knife.
Okabe glanced at the dense forest in front, his eyes profound.
The three continued advancing toward the northwest.
Unknown how much time passed, a rustling sound came from beside their ears. He raised his hand to stop Megumi Tadokoro and Ikumi Mito's movements, lightened his steps, and looked forward.
A young deer was following a female deer.
During this time, the young deer wanted to stop to eat a mouthful of tender leaves but was stopped by the adult deer beside it. They were advancing firmly toward a certain place.
"Follow them."
Seeing this, Okabe's eyes lit up. He then greeted Ikumi Mito and Megumi Tadokoro softly beside him, suppressed his footsteps, and followed.
Seeing this, Megumi Tadokoro and Ikumi Mito also suppressed their steps and followed behind Okabe.
Before long, the three successfully arrived by the stream.
"Not bad. Outside this river is relatively flat sandy and rocky ground. It looks quite open, and no one has come to disturb it. It's a good place with quiet surroundings."
Observing the surrounding environment slightly, Okabe came out of the forest and placed the big and small bags on the ground.
Hearing movement from the grass, the adult deer turned its head to look at him vigilantly, then continued to drink water in small sips. Okabe also didn't choose to disturb them.
"Great, the water source problem is solved. There seem to be fish swimming in the river too..."
Looking at the flowing stream in front and the lazy swimming fish in the water, Megumi Tadokoro revealed an excited expression, then looked at the calm-faced Okabe.
He was truly too amazing!
Ikumi Mito observed the terrain: "The terrain here is relatively high, and there is a distance from the seaside, so there's no need to worry about the rising tide. Moreover, the surrounding trees are dense and can block the wind."
"You two set up the tents. There are instructions inside. I'll leave the heavy lifting to you, Mito; your strength is much greater than Megumi's. I'll go call Soma and Takumi."
Taking down the portable tent carried on his back, Okabe handed the work of setting up the tent to them.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Ikumi Mito said excitedly.
It was rare for Okabe to actively give her a task. She had to put in one hundred percent effort to complete it and set up the best tent for him to see!
"I-I will also do my best to help!"
Megumi Tadokoro nodded, revealing a determined expression.
"It's fine, you guys figure it out first. If it doesn't work, wait for me to come back and do it. If you have extra time, you can collect some scattered wood in the forest."
Okabe further instructed.
From morning until now, they hadn't eaten lunch. To be honest, their stomachs were already rumbling "gugu." Once he found Soma and the others, they had to start preparing lunch.
"Rest assured and leave it to us."
As Ikumi Mito spoke, she had already taken out the tent and started setting it up on the spot, displaying a reliable appearance.
"En, I leave it to you."
After saying this sentence, Okabe returned along the original path.
Different from when he came, without the two slow walkers Ikumi Mito and Megumi Tadokoro by his side, Okabe was astonishingly fast. He returned to the separation point in a few minutes.
At this moment, there weren't many people on the beach anymore.
Only two teams chose to camp here, preparing to use the beach and seawater as their base. From this point, one could see they were novices at wilderness survival.
When it rained later and the seawater tide rose, it would completely submerge the sandy ground. At that time, they would pack their things and flee in panic; their desert island survival would be half failed.
Of course, Okabe did not intend to remind them.
He watched indifferently, calculating the time for Soma Yukihira and Takumi's return in his heart.
He didn't wait long.
A few minutes later, movement came from the forest.
"What the hell is this place? There isn't even a decent road!"
"If I knew it was like this, I wouldn't have come."
"Can this really improve cooking skills? How do I feel like it's purely suffering..."
Takumi's somewhat exasperated voice came from behind the bushes, mumbling incessantly. Obviously, he had been complaining all along this way.
The next second.
He and Soma Yukihira drilled out wretchedly.
There were a few withered leaves hanging in his hair, and his shirt was also torn by branches. Soma Yukihira's condition was much better, just with a few more streaks of mud on his face.
What surprised Okabe was that the pockets of both their clothes were bulging.
"We found a few mushrooms over there, but didn't discover a water source. We didn't even find a small puddle. Speaking of which, where are Tadokoro-san and Mito-san? Did they not come back with you?"
Seeing Okabe, Takumi's complaining voice came to an abrupt halt. Soma Yukihira also took mushrooms out of his pocket and simply reported their harvest.
"It's fine. I found a water source there and coincidentally hunted a wild rabbit on the way. We can eat roasted rabbit meat for lunch. But for now, come over with me first."
Looking at the mushrooms in Soma Yukihira's hand, Okabe nodded, then turned to lead the way in front.
"Rabbit meat? For real? Did you catch a rabbit? In this difficult-to-walk forest, isn't that a bit too exaggerated!"
Takumi hurriedly followed. Upon hearing Okabe say he caught a rabbit, a look of wonder appeared on his face, and then he started talking incessantly.
"Luck. It bumped into a tree."
Okabe felt a bit of a headache. After answering casually, he ignored him.
"Is luck that good?!"
"Compared to you, our luck was bad. We walked such a long distance and only found a few mushrooms..."
Takumi obviously didn't care if Okabe was interested and continued talking incessantly, which made the two reveal helpless expressions.
Not long after.
The three passed through the forest and arrived at the river Okabe discovered earlier, only to hear a burst of quarreling.
"This is my territory; we spotted it first!"
"Are you kidding? We clearly arrived first. You guys popped out from who knows where and want to occupy our territory? Don't even think about it!"
Sounds of dispute came from the riverside.
Okabe frowned and looked over, only to see five people surrounding the campsite they had just selected. Ikumi Mito was blocking the front of the tent, and Megumi Tadokoro stood nervously behind her.
The leader of the opposing party was precisely Sequence 5, Adana.
She had her hands on her hips, her deep wheat-colored face written full of dominance: "This place has a water source and the terrain is good. You few fellows are being a bit too greedy."
"You are the greedy one!"
Ikumi Mito showed no sign of weakness: "We arrived here long ago and have already started pitching tents. Don't you find it laughable to try and occupy the spot now!"
The wheat-skinned men and women behind Adana stepped forward upon seeing this.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became swords drawn and bows bent.
