“This woman!”

Joseph shook his head in amusement and placed the chocolate in his hand gently by Pistachio’s bedside.

Then, he sat down quietly and waited by Pistachio’s side.

“Seriously, when you sleep comfortably, I have to be careful even when I sit.”

Joseph reached out and gently rubbed Pistachio’s pure white fur. When he recalled the scene where it had yet to hatch, he could not help but chuckle.

“Perhaps this is fate. I’m really lucky to have a little fellow like you to accompany me in this damned place!”

“Meow!”

Pistachio seemed to have dreamt of something happy while he was sleeping. A smile appeared on his little face.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but Joseph slowly opened his eyes. He found that the entire room had become dark. He, who had escaped from the magma with great difficulty, had already used up all his strength.

“I really didn’t expect that I would fall asleep while sitting down!”

Joseph slowly stood up, but he suddenly realized that there was no sign of Pistachio. This made him quickly start searching.

“Pistachio?”

“Pistachio, where are you?”

Joseph kept asking questions until he found the little gluttonous cat sitting on the Demon Pig Meat in the corner and was chewing on chocolate.

“You bastard!”

Looking at the obviously weak Pistachio, Joseph picked up a large piece of Demon Pig Meat and lit a fire.

“I’ll give you a day off today. From tomorrow onwards, you’ll still be responsible for dinner!”

Joseph held Pistachio and they sat quietly in front of the fire, enjoying the peace.

“Meow!”

“This is too much! Don’t rub against me!”

Pistachio, whose mouth was full of chocolate, kept acting coquettishly on Joseph’s chest. However, it did not notice that the clean plate armor had turned into a brown abstract painting.

This made Joseph dodge continuously. He was a man, so how could he have time to tidy up his appearance? Let alone clean equipment like plate armor.

“Hurry up and let go of me, or the Demon Pig Meat will get burnt!”

He really could not stand Pistachio’s sudden intimacy, so Joseph could only divert his attention by barbecuing the Demon Pig Meat.

Expectedly, as a foodie, Pistachio immediately flipped over the barbecued meat nervously. It had no interest in paying any attention to Joseph.

“What a gluttonous little fellow!”

just as he watched Pistachio flip the roast meat around continuously, Joseph took out a tattered blueprint from his bosom.

[Comfortable Beast Hide Quilt: Beast hide x 5]

He placed the five complete Beast Hides on the blacksmith’s table. As the sounds of forging rang out, a Beast Hide Quilt with patterns soon appeared in front of him.

This blueprint was given to him by Emily when she was trading chocolate. This was because the people who could make Beast Hide Quilts now, other than Joseph, who had killed a large number of magic beasts, could not get so many pieces of Beast Hide.

He laid the Beast HIde neatly on the wooden bed, and it looked very comfortable.

“Meow!”

Pistachio, who was roasting meat, seemed to have found an interesting toy. He even put his beloved roasted meat aside and jumped on the Beast Hide Quilt, tossing and turning on it.

“It looks pretty good!”

Joseph nodded his head in satisfaction. He would definitely have a good sleep tonight.

There was probably no one else besides Joseph who was in the mood to have a good sleep.

Most of the other people were still working hard to dig out treasure chests and putting in the effort to survive.

Meanwhile, Joseph had already built a pig farm and started a farming business.

This was Joseph’s current life.

When he was bored, he would stroke the cat, feed the pigs, and even dig out a few treasure chests when he was free.

“It tastes pretty good!”

Pistachio, the little greedy cat, was very good at roasting meat. Even without adding any seasoning, it was still very delicious.

He tore off a piece of the roasted meat and slowly began to taste it.

He held the roasted meat in his left hand and continuously stroked Pistachio’s head with his right hand.

Following its pure white fur, Joseph felt as if he was stroking some precious fabric.

That smooth feeling made Joseph unable to put it down.

“Eat slowly. If you get grease stains on your fur, I won’t give you a bath!”

When Pistachio heard this, it rolled its eyes at him in annoyance. Then, it buried its head in its food.

Damn it, I really underestimated Happy’s nature as a glutton.

…

Just as Joseph was leisurely eating his dinner, countless survivors were digging with all their might.

Behind the mud wall that was less than a hundred meters away from Joseph, there was a fierce-looking, muscular man who was continuously swinging a shovel.

“Damn it, the treasure chest is so hard to dig. If I hadn’t robbed that idiot of his daily necessities, I would have starved to death!”

While he cursed, he took out a bloody hamburger and kept swallowing it. Behind him, there was a man covered in blood.

His eyes were filled with disbelief. He could never imagine that this man, who had always called him brother, would kill him for a hamburger.

“Hah, poor bastard. Let me continue digging. If I meet another unlucky person, tomorrow’s dinner will be ready.”

The direction this man was digging towards was where Joseph was.

…

At this moment, Joseph did not know that a guy who had abandoned humanity was constantly approaching him.

At that time, Joseph was holding a simple cup that he had just made and was brewing coffee.

“Do you want a cup?”

Joseph sniffed the thick coffee and asked Pistachio, who had a curious look on its face.

“Meow!”

Pistachio looked at the brown liquid in the cup. He carefully took out a paw and dipped it into his mouth.

In an instant, Joseph was so amused by Pistachio’s sad expression that he could not stop laughing.

Not everyone was used to drinking coffee, but those who liked it could find their own taste in coffee.

Just he leisurely drank his coffee, Joseph ignored Pistachio, who was constantly sticking out its tongue.

What happened today left a deep impression on Joseph. Even when he killed the Demon Wolf, he did not feel such danger.

The power of nature was not something the current Joseph could fight against.

As for what would happen in the future, Joseph expressed that he did not know.

“Hey, don’t jump around. It’s very dangerous, okay?”

“Damn you, you little thing. It wasn’t easy for me to get this coffee!”

Perhaps it was because he had drunk some coffee, but Pistachio was exceptionally energetic and excited. This made Joseph’s desire to sleep soundly all gone!
