Chapter 8: Chapter 8
After resting for ten minutes, the guy and the girl began to get ready to go again. Aya did not show a drop of discontent, completely obeying Kenshin, following him without a second thought, without thinking about how they would survive in the mountains. The young man, in turn, promised himself that at all costs he would take care of her, and would not allow her to starve.
An hour and a half later they reached the foot of the first mountain, but Kenshin did not like the terrain, so they moved a little deeper into the mountains, and about fifteen minutes later they found a large network of caves, and the young man decided that this was what they needed.
Leaving Aya outside, he grabbed a pre-prepared torch, lit it, and went inside the cave. After 20 meters from the entrance, the tunnel split into two passages, Kenshin decided to check both. He reached the end of the left tunnel in about 2 minutes, and the passage again divided into two parts. Deciding not to take risks and not to climb deep into unexplored caves, Kenshin went back and checked the second tunnel, finding that after about 50 meters it ends in a dead end.
Deciding that this place was suitable, he focused on an ability about which he had superficial information. The young man mentally activated the "Creation of a Shelter", and his consciousness seemed to leave his head. He saw a nearby area within a radius of about 150 meters, and was shocked. Although he knew about how the "Creation of a Shelter" takes place, but knowing and experiencing are not the same thing.
For the next hour, the young man built up the "drawings" in the highlighted area, after finishing the "setup", he mentally approved everything and confirmed the creation of the shelter, and then collapsed against the nearest wall. Sweat was pouring from his face, and his head was splitting ungodly.
The dead end in front of him shone with a blue glow, and it lasted about five minutes, and then everything went quiet. Kenshin, on shaky legs, approached the wall of the "dead end" and put his hand in a small, almost imperceptible recess. A second later, the wall rumbled, and slowly moved aside, ceasing to be a wall, and becoming a door. The door of his new home.
"It worked! And it really worked out!" thought Kenshin, and couldn't help but smile. All his fatigue instantly disappeared, and he quickly went inside, and briefly walked around his new "home". After making sure that everything was as he had planned, the young man hurried to the exit, where Aya was waiting for him.
Hearing the footsteps coming from the depths of the cave, Aya became alert, and barely Kenshin managed to come out into the white light, as a fragile blue-eyed brunette rushed into his arms and began to kiss him.
"God, Kenshin, thank God you're okay! I was so worried..."
The girl said in a trembling voice, her delicate face framed by two streaks of tears.
"Shh, it's okay, I'm fine, see?"
he said with a smile, hugging her and hugging her to him.
"Where have you been? "I've already thought of something like this...
Aya said sobbing, afraid to go back to what she was thinking about until Kenshin returned.
"Building our new house."
He replied with a smile.
"The house? Built it?"
Aya asked, not understanding.
"Come on, I'll show you everything!"
Kenshin said cheerfully, kissing her on the lips, and then grabbed bags of things.
When they reached the "dead end", Aya looked at Kenshin incredulously, not understanding how a damp cave could be called home, but then Kenshin opened the door, and the girl's jaw almost fell off. The young man pulled the frozen girl by the hand, and they went inside.
There was no lighting inside their new "house" yet, but Kenshin was going to fix it soon. The ability to "Create a Shelter" was only the first level, so the resulting "house" was not so extensive and magnificent. But he wasn't small either.
The prototype of the "shelter" Kenshin partly served as a very prestigious four-room apartment, but he added some changes from himself, and created almost a copy of the apartment from his past world. The system was very generous with the possibilities for arranging the shelter, and allowed Kenshin to create parquet floors, carpets, beautiful concrete walls, lacquered wood, and so on. As a result, the young man seemed to have returned to his own world. The only thing that reminded him of where he was was his rustic outfit, and a homemade torch in his hand, which mercilessly smoked the beautiful ceiling of his new apartment.
The young man was upset at first, but then he remembered that for the convenience of the "Patriarch", his shelter would be self–cleaned every 2 days and return to its original state, restoring some damaged parts, but if more than 40% of the shelter is damaged, it will become unusable and cease to restore its integrity.
Kenshin looked at the ability to "Create a Shelter" and saw on the right a timer counting down the time until the possibility of a new use of the ability, and realized that he would not be able to redo this shelter or create a new one until seven days later, while it was impossible to create two shelters at the same time, the old one would immediately become unusable, and turn into an unremarkable cave.
There were 4 rooms in Kenshin's "new house". One large living room, and 3 bedrooms. The bathroom and toilet are separate, and there was also a kitchen, and one large training room, the size of a school gym. It was made in a completely different style. Thick concrete walls, a thick bare floor, a small tatami mat at the far end of the training room, several makivars, two punching bags, and a corner with "iron" in which there was a barbell with a set of "pancakes" and several different dumbbells. Kenshin didn't know what shinobi needed for training, but he thought that this equipment would be very useful for the first time, at least for himself.
The only thing that the system did not allow to create was electronics or any other technological things, so Kenshin built a "gas" stove remotely similar to those in his native world, wanting to draw the necessary formation for heating in the future. The system created pipes, as well as a water tank, but it refused to heat this water, and Kenshin had to deal with it.
The tank from which the water was supplied was filled by itself, apparently from a mountain river, and was filtered by the system itself, eliminating the possibility of poisoning. The sewer drain went deep down.
