Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

27 – Preparing a new house (4)

Chester climbed onto the house and spread the moss he brought over the campfire.

“… … ?”

Not knowing what it would be used for, Monia frowned as she watched the moss drying in the heat of the campfire.

“Wait and you will know. Let’s make a roof.”

“Ah yes.”

Chester and Monia sat next to each other and began to frame the roof.

How salty it must have been, Monia said in surprise.

“Oh, I made a mistake.”

“yes? That much is fine.”

The mistake Monia said was that the ends of the tree branches, which form the horizontal frame of the roof, were slightly bent downward and tied together at the final finishing stage while they were being connected well in a straight line.

Chester went on with the work, saying that everything else was good and that it was okay because the last one was a little off.

‘No, it bothers me!’

Place the finished truss on the branch above the floor and tie it tightly to fix it.

Since the floor was large, the truss was no joke.

‘Isn’t it okay to build only four pillars?’

Chester measured the length between the roof and the floor with the bamboo he had brought, then cut the bamboo into pieces and tied them together as poles.

Build 12 roofs, 4 on each side.

Next, the roof work was completed by putting the collected leaves on the roof and carefully tying each leaf to the truss to make it strong.

By finishing the roof work like that, the first half of the house building was over by using the whole day today.

“Now I have to work hard.”

“Is it boudoir?”

“yes. I have to build a wall, and I have to do a lot of things.”

Saying that, Chester was roasting a nail over a fire.

“… … what do you do with that?”

“To make a trap.”

Monia, who was lying on the floor and was resting, approached the side and watched Chester’s work when he was told that he was making a trap.

After roasting the nail for a long time, Chester took it out with a twig, placed it on the stone wall of the campfire, and started beating it with the stone.

When struck, the nail bends and changes shape.

“Did you work as a blacksmith?”

“no way. You just know the simple things. When roasted in fire, the iron softens. In fact, I didn’t know if it would or not.”

“Yes?”

“yes. How is it going?”

Maybe it was originally made of bad iron, but it could easily be bent just by baking it over a campfire.

‘I can see why the ship split in half.’

I couldn’t have used a good repair board because I would have repaired the broken part with these cheap nails.

‘Where money has to be spent, it has to be spent heavily.’

It is only natural that the boat could not survive the storm and was destroyed because the fishermen who cherished it would have managed it without spending money where it should be spent.

Chester had a personality that didn’t hesitate to spend money on things related to safety and living.

and knife.

For Chester, a knife was a daily necessity and an all-purpose tool close to a lifeline that gave him the belief that he could overcome any situation.

So when I first found the boat, I was expecting a knife.

Fishermen carry very sharp knives to quickly cut nets or lines in emergencies.

“done.”

Chester bent the nail to make a hook, and finally knocked off the head of the nail.

Then take a long piece of string and start tying it to the hook.

Take the string by the short end and the long end, and hook the string securely to the hook with the short end at the top.

Twist the string once and wrap it with the long end facing up, then wrap it around the body of the fishing hook, starting at the twisted end and ending with the long end.

If you wind the string from the twisted part as a starting point, a loop will appear at the part you hung on the hook when you first started.

Pass a short piece of string through the loop.

Lastly, pull the short and long strings together to tie them tightly, then neatly cut off the protruding scraps on the short string side to complete the tightly tied fishing hook.

Chester stuck a small piece of meat in it and tied it to one of the branches outside and stretched it down to the ground.

“Something, that.”

“I’m trying to see if I can suddenly think of it. I thought it would be nice if an animal ate that overnight and got caught in a fishing hook. Should I call it land fishing?”

Chester made more ground fishing traps and hung them all over the trees.

“Let’s stop eating and go to sleep.”

“Yes.”

That’s how the day ended.

* * *

The next day, unfortunately, land fishing didn’t work out, but Chester and Monia started their lives as usual.

Go to the river, look at the pots, and draw water for the day in the bucket.

Look for other traps and get materials to build a house.

The material is, of course, bamboo.

Chester and Monia went back home and started building the walls of the house, which still had a basic frame.

The place where the ladder is located can be called the entrance or door of the house, so leave that part empty, then stack bamboo horizontally and tie it meticulously.

“Should I make a window too?”

“Would you like to make it?”

Next, while building a bamboo wall on one side, I made an empty part in the middle and used it as a window.

“Isn’t the window a bit big?”

“I will do this.”

Chester made a small bamboo wall the size of the window, then drilled four holes opposite the top of the window and threaded the rope through them.

Four holes are drilled in the same way in the bamboo wall that will serve as the window, and ropes are passed through and tied there as well.

After tying the rope, Chester opened the window by pushing the small bamboo wall that blocked it.

“how?”

Next, make a groove at the bottom of the window and at the bottom of the small bamboo wall and insert a piece of wood into it to secure it.

It is a window that can be opened and closed at will.

“It’s good! Hey, but wouldn’t that be dangerous when it rains and winds like the last time?”

“Hmm. That’s right.”

Chester dug two holes at the bottom of the small bamboo wall and hung a rope through it.

Tie a rope tightly there, and then pass the rope through the gap between the walls of the house.

“If I pull this and fix it somewhere, it will close tightly so that it won’t shake in the wind. Where, shall we tie it here?”

In that way, Chester built up a wall with one window on each side of the house.

Every time one side of the wall was created to cover the beautiful scenery around, Monia felt a sense of relief as well as a bit of regret.

Ever since I came to the uninhabited island, I have lived in an environment where all sides are open.

An unprotected exposed environment.

It could be considered tasteful to the point of enjoying it for a while, but Monia always felt uneasy.

In this place where there is nothing to protect him, he fears that a beast will suddenly appear from the darkness of the forest and bite him.

Like the day when the snake suddenly jumped out while shaking the vine, he wondered if a danger he was unaware of would appear and cut his lifeline.

I couldn’t help feeling fear, and I couldn’t help but live in anxiety.

And now.

Looking at the house being built on top of a tall and dense tree, I felt that anxiety and worry slowly subside.

After erecting the wall, Chester strengthened it by inserting a frame that ran vertically across the wall on the outside of the house.

That’s how the two people’s house was made.

“Okay, done!”

“Wow!”

Monia’s eyes sparkled when she saw the finished house.

A large, spacious, comfortable, and safe home was created.

After living on an uninhabited island exposed to the wild, I finally found a place where I could rest comfortably for the first time!

“And this too.”

Laughing at Monia rolling around on the floor, Chester lifted the moss piled up around the campfire.

“Right, that! Where are you writing it?”

“Now, put it like this.”

Chester began to spread moss on the spot he had chosen for his bed.

Monia, who saw that, started laying moss in the same way, not knowing anything.

“ah.”

When she picked up the moss, Monia was surprised.

It was obviously full of water, so it was wet and slippery, and I felt a soft and dry touch, where did the unpleasant touch go?

“wow.”

Monia was surprised.

“What is this?”

While Monia was startled, Chester, who had covered all the moss, lay down on it.

“Ah~ good.”

Seeing Chester lying on his arm, Monia quickly followed him and began spreading moss on the floor.

After covering all the moss, I throw myself into the moss bed like jumping.

Today is the 20th day since coming to this uninhabited island.

To Monia, who had to spend a difficult night in a terrible bed, the softness and warmth of this moss bed was truly heavenly.

For a moment, it was dizzy enough to mistake it for a bed in his own mansion.

Even when she was imprisoned, it was really hard to sleep on a hard bed on an uninhabited island.

It seemed hard to die.

The soft bed that I finally got after overcoming such a difficult bed was like a treasure.

“aaa~.”

“Didn’t you do well to bring the moss?”

“Yes.”

Monia rolled over the moss with a voice that melted gently, enjoying the soft touch.

“Sigh… great… .”

Like a cat, he pressed his whole body against the moss and rubbed it.

That night.

The two were able to spend a comfortable and comfortable bed for the first time in a long time.
