Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

We decided to go watch the flying competition after breakfast, but to our surprise, we couldn't find that damn breakfast anywhere.

We finally found it, but other flies beat us to it. Before we even got there, we immediately attracted their hostility and vigilance.

"Don't be nervous, there's too much for you to finish. Could you share some with us? Let's eat together," I asked in a friendly manner.

"You guys like to eat snacks too?" the larger fly asked, quite puzzled.

"What snacks? We haven't even had breakfast yet. I just hope we can eat something. We've been looking for so long and this is the only place we can find anything edible," I said, quite annoyed.

"Are you new here?" the larger fly asked.

"Yes," I nodded.

"No wonder. Why would you come here looking for food? There are mostly snacks here. If you want real food, you have to go to the garbage dump. You have fish and meat here. This place is mostly just kids' snacks," the big fly explained.

If I could eat that garbage, why would I even be here? I'm so frustrated I don't know how to explain it. Should I say I don't eat garbage?

This is obviously something I can't say, because it doesn't prove I'm an oddball, otherwise I'll be ostracized.

So I can only admit that I'm a newcomer, and I can't explain the previous issues if I don't admit it.

"No wonder, there's probably nothing to eat at that garbage dump now. So let's eat something here, at least for now. There will be plenty of meat to eat after the humans finish their lunch." The fly said, making way to the side, its meaning clear: it was inviting us to eat.

So Dafu and I quickly went to the ice cream cone and politely said, "Thank you."

Then I started eating with the daifuku. As I mentioned before, it's an ice cream cone made of flour, basically a snack for kids. It's sweet and tastes good.

The only slightly frustrating thing is that I can only slowly scoop out some powder from it to eat; it's really hard to chew.

As I was eating this, a little fly nearby asked in confusion, "Dad, why do humans make this look so much like poop?"

Hearing this, I instantly lost my appetite. No one can eat if you mention poop while you're eating, especially since this snack really looks like a pile of poop.

I couldn't eat anymore. I suddenly had the urge to strangle that little fly. Why bring this up? Did we run out of things to talk about?

"What are you saying, you brat? How can you talk about such disgusting things when you're old enough to understand? If you say that again, I won't give you any snacks." His father was quite angry, which shows that their family's discipline is very strict.

But I couldn't stand it anymore. You guys grew up eating that stuff, right? How come you're saying it's disgusting now?

I can only complain to myself. I'm at a loss for words. I feel nauseous if I eat, but I'm hungry if I don't.

"Eat up, 12 cents! What are you standing there for?" Dafu said happily as he ate.

"I'm full, I'm not hungry now," I said, feeling quite annoyed.

"Huh? You eat so little? How come you only eat so little?" Dafu asked curiously.

"You eat so little, you have a poor appetite," I said, speechless.

"You should eat more, otherwise you won't be able to fly properly later. What if you fall off halfway through the flight?" Dafu said while continuing to eat his snacks.

I almost cried. Did you think I didn't want to eat it? I just couldn't eat it. How could I eat something that looked like poop?

Although the taste is different, the shape is the same.

Just then, a figure suddenly walked towards us, grabbed the snacks, and shoved them into its mouth. Faced with this, we quickly flew away.

The little guy grabbed the snack and walked outside, but left a bottle of yogurt on the table before leaving.

Great! I didn't expect to have yogurt in the morning. As soon as I saw the yogurt, I rushed over to it.

"One cent and two cents, what are you doing?" I had just flown into the air and hadn't even flown over yet when Da Fu called out to me.

"Nothing, just eating," I said, feeling quite annoyed.

"What are you going to eat? You can't eat that, come back quickly," Dafu said hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, that thing can't be eaten, can't be eaten!" the big fly next to him said anxiously.

"Why?" I asked, puzzled.

"That's white liquid! If you fall in, you won't be able to get out!" Dafu cried out anxiously.

"That's right, that stuff is very sticky. Once you fall in, you can't fly out. Don't go there!" the big fly on the other side cried out anxiously.

"Why do you have to fall in if you don't want to?" I asked, quite annoyed. Even eating can cause choking, and if you're worried about falling in, you might as well not eat anything at all.

I ignored them completely and flew towards the yogurt. It was the kind of yogurt that comes in a box, the kind that comes in small boxes, the kind that costs nine yuan and ninety cents a pack of plain yogurt.

The yogurt was half-opened, with a thin straw on top, and the lid was also partially open, making it look like a tent on the table.

I flew straight over and stood next to the yogurt. I'm sure everyone has drunk yogurt before, right? It's super concentrated milk, so the yogurt next to it isn't like water; even if you don't finish it, it won't just flow down.

I just stayed there, and I started eating the yogurt next to the box.

Since this yogurt is for children, how would children know that licking the lid of a yogurt is such a sophisticated act?

So there was still a lot of yogurt on the lid, and after I finished the yogurt on the edge, I focused my attention on the lid.

I dared not go inside the bottle; what if I accidentally fell in? And since I had finished the yogurt on the edge, I could only set my sights on the lid.

Looking at the yogurt on the lid, I flew towards it.

"Be careful, you little brat!" Da Fu behind me called out anxiously.

"It's okay, you should have some too, it tastes great," I said to the daifuku, and then continued eating the yogurt while still floating in the air.

"Daddy, I want to eat too," the little fly said, looking quite aggrieved, "Look how much I'm enjoying my food."

"This, this..." the big fly said with great difficulty.

If it's dangerous, I'm eating it right now; if it's not dangerous, the rumors that have been circulating for so long don't seem to be false.

So the big fly was a little embarrassed, but I didn't care whether they were embarrassed or not, I was eating with great pleasure.

Just as I was enjoying my yogurt immensely, a sudden gust of wind blew it down on me, and I tragically fell into the yogurt...
