Da Gu was silent once again.
This time, however, his mood was heavy, unlike the previous times when he was speechless and embarrassed.
Because Obik was right.
This world will ultimately belong to humans, leaving no place for mythical creatures.
"What, is the soba not tasty anymore?" Obik asked.
"No, it's delicious." Da Gu shook his head, but by now he had lost the appetite for soba, and Lina was much the same. She didn't think as much as Da Gu, but she also knew that with continuous human development, more and more creatures like Obik would eventually appear.
"Then why aren't you continuing to eat?" Obik continued to ask.
Da Gu couldn't answer.
Lina didn't know how to respond.
"Ah, humans, always quick to favor the new and scorn the old," Obik sighed, "Just like soba, clearly delicious, but fewer people eat it nowadays. Most have started eating burgers and fried chicken; traditional foods are being consumed less and less."
