"Now there are billions of people. No, if you count the less intelligent creatures who still barely qualify as intelligent life..."
"Armies of over a million clash at the drop of a hat."
"We have to be very careful when increasing food production."
"Oh, I get it. You're not going to help, so why are you telling me all this?" Lynn looked Eve up and down. She was going on and on like she'd been cooped up for too long. "Planning to waste my time?"
"No!" Eve held out her hand and opened it again, revealing a handful of wheat seeds. "I did my research."
"You're planting trees, right?"
"You're improving the ecosystem, right?"
"Yeah, so what? We can't just let desertification set in." Lynn reached into his military coat, making Eve clutch it shut and curl up. "That's so lewd!"
"I'm just getting a map, my dear Eve. You don't have to be annoyed by how boring I am. I'm busy right now, but if you keep holding on like that, I'll definitely use my hands to experience the wonders of maternal love."

He was just about to turn around.
"Huh? Is that so? Well, never mind, then." Eve opened her military coat and stared at Lynn with dead fish eyes. "I don't want to be sacrificed by you."
"Don't worry. It's been a long time since I called anyone a motherfucker, so no one's called me one either." Lynn opened the map and pointed out the Orc territory.
Everyone else's territory was lush and green, but the Orcs' land was already a dusty yellow.
It meant even the grass was being eaten down to nothing
