Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

46 – Mud Baking (1)

Chester went down into the lake and swam, whipping his limbs.

‘It’s deeper than I thought!’

The bottom of the lake was deeper than expected, and countless creatures were swimming leisurely.

Inside, Chester saw only the object stuck in the corpse of some creature and proceeded.

Chasing the silently sinking corpse fiercely through the water, Chester stretched out his arm and grabbed the object sprouting from the corpse.

‘Got it!’

However, carnivorous fish soon began to cling to the blood of the dead bodies.

“!”

It had teeth too ferocious to be a fish, and it moved its huge body to eat the carcass as well as Chester holding it.

Chester, giving up on extracting objects from the creature’s corpse, quickly turned to avoid the fish and grabbed the harpoon he had brought for self-defense.

However, this is not intended to be a fish.

‘Suck!’

It is not easy for humans to catch fish that move freely in all directions, as their movements in the water become dull.

Chester stabbed the harpoon and aimed at the falling creature carcass.

Fu-wook!

The harpoon lodged in the corpse, and Chester pulled the harpoon and pulled the corpse closer to him.

When I came closer, the appearance of a strange-looking creature came into my eyes vividly.

An armored creature whose entire body is surrounded by body parts that look like armor.

Is it like an insect’s shell? I don’t know if it’s like the scales of a fish, but the sharp and pointy ones were awkward to touch.

Chester carefully grabbed the creature with both feet and immobilized it, then grabbed the object stuck in the creature’s back and pulled it out in one stroke like a harpoon.

‘done.’

short of breath

Chester kicked the creature carcass at the fish that rushed back and climbed upwards.

As I went up, I looked down and saw that there were a lot of fish clinging to the dead bodies and eating them.

Some fish were eaten by tearing off the bones, some burrowing into the soft flesh, and some sucking blood.

As the fish gathered together eagerly, a freshwater shark appeared, swallowed the fish whole, and disappeared.

‘It’s scary.’

Thinking that he should be more careful in the future under the lake, Chester poked his head out of the water.

“Puha!”

Monia, who was restless, approached Chester who swam quickly and came out of the lake.

“Why are you suddenly entering the lake! Are you crazy?!”

“Coke! Coke! oh, i drank water No, I couldn’t help it.”

Chester showed the object embedded in the creature’s corpse.

“There was this.”

“… … uh? This?”

A smooth, straight blade with a height of just under 50 cm, and a handle finished with luxurious leather that extends directly from the blade without a nose.

In particular, the silver sword radiated an infinitely smooth and beautiful silver figure, like a beauty in a borderland, alone in this wild world where everything was crudely made, reflecting the light of the sun in the sky and dazzling.

“ah! It is dazzling.”

“yes? Well, this one stands out a bit. I’ll have to cover it up with dirt. It was enough for me to be alive.”

It was the machete that was embedded in the corpse of the creature that had fallen from the waterfall.

“hahahaha, even full tang.”

Examining the machete meticulously from top to bottom, Chester smiled contentedly when he saw the tang all the way to the handle.

“What is full tang?”

“The tang is at the end of the handle… Oh, I don’t even know how to say it. He’s a strong guy.”

Chester took his machete and approached a nearby bush.

Carefully stance, swing the machete lightly to cut down the bushes.

“With this, I can easily pass through the dense bush across the river.”

“By the way.”

Monia looked at the machete from the side and raised her head.

“Why did this fall from above?”

“… … .”

“Is there someone up there?”

“I guess so.”

A tool like the machete is more of a lifeline.

“A person. How are you in a place like this?”

“We live well in a place like this.”

“It is because you are there.”

“Five.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I couldn’t believe you would acknowledge other people’s abilities that much.”

“huh. … … I know very well now that I am lacking a lot.”

Hearing Monia’s slightly depressed voice, Chester stroked her droopy hair.

“It’s fine. You’re not that ugly now.”

“… … Now you’re subtly telling me that my former self was ugly.”

“Oh, have you gotten a little smarter?”

Monia protested by clinging to Chester.

During the protest, Monia’s interest in the person above the falls seemed to have completely disappeared.

‘Above the waterfall.’

Until now, Chester had only thought about building a stable environment.

I was thinking of creating a stable environment and then calmly waiting for a chance to leave this deserted island.

There are many chances.

When a merchant ship passes near a floating island.

Or when a continent appears at a distance visible to the naked eye from a floating island.

just waiting for that time

I had no intention of destroying the stable life cycle now established.

‘Who is it?’

At least not the nobles who were executed. I had a machete.

Maybe a different country, a different race.

Because the language is different, you won’t be able to communicate, and you don’t know if that side will be friendly to you or not.

no, more than that.

‘It would be better not to meet even for Monia’s sake.’

Most of those who come to this place are adventurers, and there is a high probability that they will be sailors.

A sailor who works on the sea would surely be a rough man, but Monia is a young lady who has made her name throughout the country as a peerless beauty despite her upside-down personality when she was a daughter of a duke.

And it wasn’t hard for the other party to know how a sailor who hadn’t met a woman for a long time would react when he saw Monia.

‘It’s better not to meet.’

Even if it was to protect the noble lady with the hair that had nothing to do with this child from being shocked.

Chester looked away from the top of the waterfall, and once again ate fish in front of the fire with Monia.

the man ran

Having lost the tools to protect her body, she just ran in fear.

“How, how, how, how… !!”

How could such creatures exist!

His eyes were filled with fear and shock as if he had seen something that shouldn’t exist in this world.

After coming to this island, the man has seen unique creatures that have undergone unique evolution in the island’s unique environment.

But what he saw from this ‘upstairs’ far surpassed all the creatures the man had ever seen on the island.

Avoiding the frightening creatures, the man just ran and ran, looking straight ahead.

“What the hell is this island!”

Behind the screaming man, something huge pursued the man silently.

It has a weasel-like body, brownish fur, black stripes, a long tail, and four legs.

Its face resembled that of a dog, with a long muzzle, and sticky saliva flowed down the muzzle between the long curved teeth resembling hooks.

The creature moved its four long legs and elongated body flexibly, avoiding the trees growing in the forest and moving swiftly to pursue the man.

The creature felt good.

I thought today was my lucky day.

On this island with many small creatures, I was very lucky today to find a rare ‘big prey’.

While running eagerly in anticipation of eating prey and filling their stomachs, the creature, noticing that there would be an open place if it went further, ran up the tree.

After climbing the tallest tree nearby, I wait for a while and watch the man run.

The man continued to walk away from the creature, but the creature watched the man run without worrying too much.

Observing, I waited for the moment when the madly running man got tired of running.

And finally, the man got out of the woods and out into the open.

At that moment, the creature gathered strength by bending its entire body like a spring, and then bounced off its entire body in an instant and flew up.

After flying up to a certain extent, it spreads its four legs wide and spreads the skin.

A very basic common sense that ‘living creatures must be light’.

As if ignoring that common sense, the gigantic creature spread its skin like that and started gliding through the sky.

The creature gliding towards the man quickly approached a certain distance, swung its legs wildly once, turning its body downwards, then folded the membrane and flattened the whole body.

The creature that made its body agile cut through the air and shot down like a hawk hunting a rabbit.

However, just as a hawk, an excellent hunter, fails to hunt a rabbit, unfortunately, the creature did not fare well today.

“aaagh!!”

The creature, which missed the aim just a little bit and fell slightly behind the man, rolled over from the shock of the fall, while the man started to run further away.

The creature quickly escaped the shock and tried to chase the man again.

– Karrleuk!

Unfortunately, the man went into the ‘no-entry zone’ in that short time.

If you invade that place, you destroy the balance of the ecosystem and are hunted by the ‘owner of the island’ for not keeping the designated area.

That was why this creature did not go ‘downstairs’ or ‘upstairs’, but only stayed in this peripheral area.

Squeezing a regretful mouth at the large missing prey, the creatures began to roam in search of new prey.

“Okay, then shall we make a kiln in earnest?”

Regardless of whether he got a machete or not, Chester’s goal now is to make weights and bake clay to make bowls.

And making a kiln for it comes first.

Chester poured water into the pile of earth he had collected, then made mud and began to daub the stone towers he had built for the kiln.

Behind Chester, Monia danced hard.

“cake! cake! cake! cake!”

“Oh, shut up.”
