10 – rainy day (2)

Chester and Monia sat together at Chester’s house and watched the rain pour from the sky.

The clear sky a moment ago was filled with black dark clouds, and the daunting sound of thunder made my body tremble as if the gods were angry.

The raindrops, which had been falling little by little, became thicker before I knew it, and when it hit my skin, it was quite stinging.

“Suddenly it’s raining.”

“… … It won’t get any worse here, will it?”

“Well. The weather in the mountains and the sea is ever-changing, so it can suddenly get better.”

“okay.”

Monia smiled at the hopeful comments, but Chester suddenly remembered that he hadn’t seen any animals in the woods today.

The animals must have foreseen this weather and took shelter in advance.

And the sound of the wind, getting colder and rougher, was telling Chester that the rain was going to last for quite some time.

‘I don’t have any food stored.’

From today, I was planning to make tools, get food, make preserved food, and stick to it.

from today.

However, it was pouring rain that very day.

Chester knew from experience.

A forest on a sunny day and a forest on a rainy day, even if they are the same forest, have completely different faces.

In this kind of weather, it was better to stay still and not go into the woods.

So when Chester realized it was going to rain, he immediately quit everything and reinforced the roof for the rain.

But it seems to have been lacking a lot.

“Hick!”

As the waves became rough with the wind, Monia shrank in surprise.

‘The sea is scary.’

The weather was always nice in the coastal towns when Chester went.

So, it was the first time he had ever seen such a rough sea.

I saw it as a picture or a story, but when the calm and beautiful sea was angry, it was like a bloodbath.

The moment I approached, it seemed that the rough waves would swallow me and kill me.

‘… … It’s getting dark.’

Dark clouds quickly obscured his vision, so Chester decided to build a fire.

“fire? where are you? In this weather?”

“yes. I’m going to build a windproof wall out of bamboo.”

“Do you really have to do it in this weather?”

“I have to. Even now, our bodies are getting wet little by little. The weather is cold, and if I stay still, I will die of hypothermia?”

Chester took the bamboo and chopped it upwards with his axe.

When the bamboo splits, insert a twig into the crack and push it all the way.

Then the bamboo splintered and split neatly in half.

Chester did it a few times, making a bunch of long bamboo sticks split in half, tying them together with vines and tying them together to make a wall on one side.

It was a half-hearted work, different from the usual delicate work.

Chester, who had piled up rain-soaked twigs near the bamboo wall he had made, connected bamboo to make a wall on the other side, but unfortunately the number was insufficient.

“bucket.”

“Yes?”

“Bring the bucket!”

“Yes Yes!”

Chester split and connected even a bucket of water and somehow used it as a material for the wall.

Instead of a single, straight bamboo, the bamboo pieces were swayed unsteadily in the wind, but those parts were wrapped around the entire bamboo with vines and blocked off with vines.

But.

“I am anxious.”

Because of the bamboo wall built like that, rain and wind were less hit, but the bamboo wall was shaking wildly.

“Muh, won’t it collapse?”

“I need to light a fire first and think about it.”

Chester brought some wet earth and spread it in the middle of his house to keep it from burning down.

Then, after putting a kindling stick on it, he took out the materials for starting a fire that he always had in his arms.

“It’s a little wet.”

In preparation for an emergency, the two branches were always dried with body temperature so that they would not get wet.

From the first day they landed on this island, they were the twigs they loved.

Chester drilled a new groove in a twig that had already been grooved, and rubbed another twig against it.

“… … ! Damn, this damn rain is real!”

However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t light the fire as easily as usual.

“Hey, stick closer.”

“Yes?”

“We have to block it with our bodies.”

Chester pulled Monia closer and rubbed a branch vigorously to rekindle the fire.

‘If the bamboo isn’t wet, I’m using bamboo.’

Bamboo bark catches fire well.

“Take some hair. Water falls.”

“Ah, ah, yes.”

Monia hastily pulled up her hair and hid it.

After that, how hard Chester must have tried to light a fire against the wet wood.

“Be it, be it, be it, be it, be it, be it, be it, be it! OMG! It’s done!!”

I scraped off all the slightly wet surfaces, and rubbed the branches again while they were still wet, and only then did I manage to catch fire.

Chester clenched his fists and moved the burning coals from the grooves of the branches to the kindling stick.

Carefully wrap the tinder and blow strongly.

The fire, which met air and combustibles, produced smoke in an instant, and quickly spread the fire to the entire tinder.

“Cheer up!”

“Wow!”

Monia was impressed.

It was really moving to see a beautiful fire finally come out and light up the world in the midst of a harsh rainstorm where you can’t even hear the proper sound and the darkness where you can’t see properly.

Unlike Monia, who was moved by the fire, Chester continued on to the next work without even having time to fully appreciate it.

They piled the little twigs that were less wet on the tinder, ate them up, and fed the bigger twigs as the fire grew in size.

Chester, who was still nervous even after the fire had been lit, fell to his knees and sighed in relief when he saw that a stable bonfire had been lit.

“… … Whoa.”

Chester, relieved, took the firewood he had piled up in the corner and put it near the campfire.

to dry firewood.

“This is our lifeline from now on.”

“Yes?”

“got it. You must keep the fire burning.”

As he spoke, Chester repeatedly clenched his hands into fists to circulate blood and raise his body temperature by rubbing his hands together.

Before I knew it, the tips of my fingers and toes were as cold as ice.

“Eup, Achoo!”

And it was the same for Monia.

“Coke! Coke!”

“… … Let’s take off our clothes.”

“Yes?”

“If you keep wearing wet clothes, your body heat will be taken away.”

Chester took off his clothes as he spoke.

“I must have lit a fire, take it off and dry my clothes and body.”

“uh?! Kyaaak?!”

The butler’s clothes come off, revealing Chester’s body hidden under the clothes.

“Uh, huh?! uh?! Ugh!”

Unlike in the butler’s uniform, Chester’s body in the butler’s uniform was quite thick.

The elongated limbs and broad shoulders create a masculine inverted triangle body shape, and the clearly rising muscle shape is highlighted by water droplets riding and flowing.

“Oh, oh oh… Hick?!”

That was the first ‘obscene thing’ that Monia, who had never read any of the lewd stories commonly circulated among aristocratic ladies due to the strict management of the family, saw it for the first time.

yes.

To Monia, Chester’s body seemed obscene indeed.

Ordinary people would look at the pectoralis major, abs, or the nape of the neck, but it was Chester’s arm that caught Monia’s attention.

A thick, large, manly hand with protruding veins, and an arm that was connected from it.

So, Jeon Wan-geun.

The thick arms boasting protruding veins and clearly emerging muscle shapes, the muscles wriggled and changed shape with the slightest movement of Chester’s hand.

“Heh, hehehehe.”

Seeing that, Monia felt like her head was getting hot to the point of being strange.

“What are you doing?”

“Hey, hehehehe?!”

“what’s the matter?”

“Oh, no hyo? Nothing, huh?”

Even as she said that, Monia’s eyes didn’t want to leave Chester’s arms.

“That, you more than that! Aren’t you ashamed?! How to dress in front of others… !”

“Because I hate dying more than being ashamed.”

Chester took one of the vines and tied it around the house to make a rope and hung the naked clothes on it.

She took off all of her panties and socks and walked away, revealing herself naked in front of Monia.

“… … !!”

As expected, Monia had closed her eyes and buried her head in her lap from the time Chester took off his pants, as if he couldn’t see a completely naked man even though he didn’t know he was taking off his top.

“what… Okay, if you don’t want to take it off, don’t. If that’s the case, stay close to the fire. Keep your body temperature at least a little bit.”

“Yes Yes. Arseoyo… .”

Monia pulled herself close to the campfire, as Chester had said.

The cold wind and wet body trembled, but it seemed to be a little better because it was close to the campfire.

Seeing Monia like that, Chester also attached himself to the bonfire and looked at the firewood while drying himself.

‘… … It’s not enough.’

I don’t know how far this rain will go, but I thought the firewood I had now wouldn’t be enough.

The problem was that after getting a lot of tree branches to make a house, I had been neglecting it for a while, saying that I wouldn’t need to get firewood.

‘I should have prepared everything in advance.’

I didn’t know that it would become a rainy and windy weather overnight.

Chester frowned.

‘I knew that the weather in the forest changes quickly.’

In addition, people in coastal cities often heard that the weather at sea was ever-changing.

However, hearing and experiencing are different. Despite knowing it, Chester wasn’t prepared for the change in the weather at all.

Actually, there was another reason for this.

‘Is this a floating island? I didn’t even feel the rain coming.’

The peculiarity of an island floating in the sea influenced it.

Rain clouds that flew in from the direction facing the island that was moving forward.

As these two things interlocked, the island started pouring heavy rain in an instant.

‘Is Monia okay?’

Chester saw Monia shivering from the cold.

He was warming himself by a bonfire, but he couldn’t seem to overcome the wet body and the cold wind.

“It’s cold, it’s cold… .”

Suddenly, Monia’s lips turned bluish.
