Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

40 – Waterworks (5)

The next morning, Chester and Monia decided to finish the canal work, and after breakfast they moved.

The materials to be used for the waterway construction were left at the place where the work was done yesterday, so you only need to go lightly.

Arriving at the place they were working on yesterday, the two quickly resumed their work.

Chester, carrying a bucket of resin and a brush and charcoal around his waist, climbs up the tree and lowers the rope, and Monia ties the necessary materials to it.

When Monia puts the bamboo that is suitable for fitting now, Chester either connects the bamboo tube from above, or adjusts the thickness of the tube a bit with the claw knife 1 and inserts it.

It was not easy to hold and connect the ends of the long bamboo on top of a tall tree where one could not properly fix one’s body.

Since the work had to be carried out carefully and carefully to prevent accidents, it inevitably took a long time to connect even one pipe.

When the connection is complete, apply resin to the outer part of the pipe, burn the resin to finish, and inspect it for a while.

If you think it’s okay, step on the branch and move forward a little to work again.

After connecting the bamboo tubes until you can, just as close to it as you can, you cross over to a nearby tree.

“Hee!”

Monia freaked out every time Chester jumped from branch to branch.

Chester had been moving like this since yesterday, unless there was a fair amount of distance, but every time he saw it, he was nervous.

The branch shakes every time it jumps from branch to branch, and Chester’s body shakes as well.

I managed to keep my balance and didn’t fall, but it was a sight that made the onlookers avert their eyes.

Anyway, with such anxiety, the waterway construction continued.

After having a simple meal with strawberry dough for lunch, I bring in additional construction materials left at home and start working again.

“Hey, can you teach me how to climb a tree?”

Monia raised her voice to Chester in the tree, and Chester answered.

“tree? Not bad. Trees make good hiding places.”

“Yes?”

“yes. Few animals can climb trees, and it’s annoying to climb a tree just to catch a game, right? A lot of kids just give up because it’s annoying.”

Those strong lions also hunt in groups to hunt comfortably.

The tiger hides and surprises.

Wild animals all use less energy and use numbers to get food.

The bear… They just trust their bodies and beat them up, but even such bears often aim for weak things that they cannot resist, such as honey or fish.

“It is always good to learn the skills to avoid the body and ensure safety. I’ll teach you when my hand heals.”

“Yes.”

“I’m thinking of taking a break from the heat, so I’ll have plenty of time.”

Do you have a lot of time?

Both Monia and Chester laughed at that ironic statement.

Chester, as well as Monia, have been unusually busy as the duke’s daughter.

After coming here, I lived busy for a while because of survival, but after finding some stability, what was left was time.

Chester, who was looking for work even in the spare time, and Monia, who followed him, but they knew that they were literally overflowing with time.

“Is there anything else you want to do in your free time?”

“well? I have nothing to do. Shall we do a piece? Huhu, with my aesthetic sense, I’m sure the masterpiece of the century will be born!”

The two continued to work while talking about each other.

Since all preparations had been completed in advance, the non-stop work quickly came to an end, and a waterfall appeared in front of the two of them.

“It will be over soon.”

“Wow! It’s over!”

“Yeah.”

It was a long and tedious job.

Even Chester, who used to build simple houses, took days to start and finish.

Since this was the first major construction project, Monia also had high expectations.

Can you get water without going to the river yourself?

‘It feels like stepping back into the civilized world!’

The moment Chester connected the last coffin, Monia cheered and raised her arms.

“Wow!”

“Don’t like it too much. Should I go home now and make sure it works?”

“Yes! Yeah! Let’s go! hurry!”

* * *

“Mo, I’m thirsty… !”

The man who entered the island following his grandfather’s journal tilted the bucket he had brought in the recent heat, but there was not a single drop of water left inside.

“what?!”

It was filled with water, but there was no water inside.

The man opened the bucket, inspected it, saw a hole in the bucket, and in a fit of rage smashed the bucket to the ground.

“Damn it! Nothing works!”

It seems that the hole was opened when the beast attacked a while ago.

‘What the hell is this island!’

The man was well aware of the information about the floating island.

No, I thought so.

It was because he had read the information about the floating island in his grandfather’s notes.

However, in the first place, he was not an excellent explorer like his grandfather.

His grandfather, who had challenged many demonic worlds, such as crossing a vast desert by riding a windy road and a cliff that was said to lead to hell, also challenged a floating island.

Unfortunately, conquering the wandering island was blocked by the island’s owners, but rather, thanks to the island’s speed, it was able to escape without being threatened by the rapidly changing weather.

The memoirs written based on such outstanding experience and ability were not very helpful to ordinary men.

Creatures that the grandfather thought were not very dangerous threatened the man’s life, and he was in danger of dying because he could not tell the difference between poisonous and medicinal herbs, which the grandfather said were easy to distinguish.

Even if he tried to leave the island, he couldn’t get out because the dense trees disturbed the man’s senses.

Somehow, he managed to get to the outskirts of the island, but it was only the outskirts of the island, not the place he used to enter.

He thought he would be able to find it again by wandering around the island, but he didn’t.

The deep cliffs extending all the way into the island blocked his path, making it impossible to go around the outskirts.

They went inside the island again, but with the warmer weather, creatures that started to work began to target the man.

He was different from Chester.

Chester moved as far as possible, avoiding areas where dangerous animals had left their mark.

Rather, as Chester and Monia hunted a large number of beasts and left traces, the traces of the two themselves were regarded as ‘territories left by predators’, so other beasts that rivals were uncomfortable with did not approach.

However, the man did not have the eyes to find the territory or traces of predators, and he did not have the skills to avoid them in advance.

All I can do is use the equipment I brought with me to somehow resist or run away.

Fortunately, many of the creatures on the island were small, so the man who brought a weapon in case of danger was able to protect himself from the threat of the animals.

However, it was only to protect the body, not the objects.

While I was resting after putting down my bag for a while, animals appeared and I lost my luggage while being chased, and this time the water bottle I was carrying around my waist was broken.

My shoe laces broke from hurting between rough and rough plants, and my shoes were damaged from running away and running.

“What the hell is this island? Why are the beasts so violent… ! It’s hot there! I never said it was this hot!”

The man tried to read his grandfather’s notes again.

“Damn it… !”

More than half of the blood spattered from the animal the man killed was unrecognizable as it was covered in blood.

In the end, the man couldn’t even get help from his grandfather’s notes and had to continue walking around the island.

I wonder if I’m just going round and round in the same spot, or if I’m dying while wandering in the forest.

In that panic, the man had to keep walking.

Couldn’t stop.

couldn’t stop

The same was true of the desire for the ‘treasure’ that the man imagined to be on this island, but the fear that he would die the moment he stopped made it impossible for him to stop.

“… … ! It is water!”

The man, enduring the heat and thirst, saw a puddle on the ground and hurriedly approached it.

“Ouch! Isn’t that shit?!”

Seeing that the water was dirty with the excrement of an unknown beast, I was horrified and retreated.

How much longer did the man walk in the woods, avoiding the dung?

“uh?”

The man suddenly saw a cliff stretching out in front of him.

The moment he saw the cliff, the man remembered a phrase written in his grandfather’s memoir.

-Today, I found out the culprit behind the wandering island being called the Demonic Realm. The real ordeal of island exploration began with this ‘upper land’ from which I climbed.

* * *

“Okay then.”

Chester undid the rope that was fastened to the tree, and as the rope slackened, the canal naturally descended under the weight of a stone attached to its end.

I put a bucket of water in front of the canal that sloped down and waited for a while, and soon a clear stream of water flowed from the end of the canal.

“Oops.”

Chester, who had wet his sleeve in the water because he had mistakenly placed the bucket holder, smiled and took the bucket again, filled it with water, gave it to Monia, and filled the second bucket with water.

“Oooh!”

“Okay, that’s fine.”

The two did not bother to go to the river, but made a toast by bumping into buckets of clear river water that they had comfortably obtained at home.
