Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

55 – Ant Wolf (1)

How much time has passed since the floating island became hot.

Gradually the heat started to go away, and now it was cooler than when Chester and Monia first came to the island, and a cool breeze began to blow.

That was good news for Chester and Monia, who didn’t know much about the island yet, but it was different for the animals that live on the island.

This is because the moment this cool and good weather passes, a full-fledged hell unfolds.

No, even if it wasn’t that, the cool weather was hell.

In this weather, all living creatures on the island begin their activities in earnest.

In order to overcome the coming hell, they fight more fiercely and fiercely than ever before and start accumulating food.

Rodents that feed on tree fruits, nuts, and seeds.

Herbivores that eat grass.

Carnivores that eat meat.

Even animals that are not hibernate begin to fight fiercely.

Birds also leave the island and fly to other places, but since they don’t know where the island is, they have to fly in a direction that doesn’t know if they will reach the mainland or how long it will continue.

It is only the fish that live in the water that live peacefully.

However, such fish also act to survive, such as reducing their activity.

The island was preparing for the days to come.

And there, too, were the creatures that Chester had named antwolves.

The ant wolf is a cautious creature.

They know that grouping is their strength.

That’s why the top priority is to maintain and raise the herd.

For example, only scouts are active in bad weather.

They are larger and hairier than other antwolves, have a large mouth with strong jaws, and large and wide tongues and ears.

When it is cold, it closes its ears and mouth to preserve body temperature, and when it is hot, it molts and spreads its ears and tongue wide to regulate its body temperature.

Explore the island, hunt to feed the herd, and fight bravely and valiantly at the forefront at any time.

And never attack a strong creature so as not to harm the herd.

But at this time, things are different.

Even at the cost of some sacrifice, they want to catch a large, edible creature.

Because they are prudent, they know when to make sacrifices and be bold.

That’s why ant wolves become the most vicious creatures on the island at this time.

I don’t care if the other person is a small rodent that I wouldn’t normally pay attention to, or a reptile or amphibian like a snake, lizard, or frog.

Even bears, which they avoid at the slightest smell, actively pounce at this time.

Antwolves roamed the island quietly.

It quickly detects the location of living things with its snagging sense of smell, quietly surrounds it, and hunts it with a push.

Boldly but cautiously.

Even if the opponent is a small rodent, it is not vigilant.

At this time, they reign as apex predators on the lower levels of the island.

“Is it raining again?”

When Chester woke up, he looked outside and it was raining on the island.

After the heat wave passed, there were more rainy days.

Thanks to that, both Chester and Monia were not able to farm even when the weather got better, and were only killing time.

The good news is that even during the scorching heat, the food stockpiled was not consumed as much as possible, and the food stockpile was steadily made.

Thanks to that, I was able to survive no matter how much rain came.

Chester looked at the farmland glimpsed near the canal, with the rain running down the mud-slab roof.

Although it is small for farmland, it is a land that has been worked hard in the heat, but today it was filled with rainwater and turned into mud.

“Ugh.”

My heart is as gloomy as the pouring rain.

The humidity on the high island was even higher, which made me feel bad. Feeling as if the body is submerged in water.

‘Fortunately, the rain stops quickly.’

It kept repeating that the rain would stop and come again, stop and come again.

Of course, the cycle was not constant.

‘The problem is the temperature. The temperature has dropped quite a bit, but now it’s getting cold because of the rain.’

If this island gets cold, how cold will it get?

‘I’ll have to prepare to repair the house for the winter.’

Preparations must also be thorough.

In particular, firewood had to be preserved in much greater quantities than before.

However, houses and warehouses now have a lot of goods, so it was not possible to store a large amount of firewood.

‘great. Let’s build a new warehouse where only firewood is stored separately.’

Like that, Chester is cold to come… So, I decided to extend the house in preparation for the winter.

Of course, winter may not come.

Maybe it gets cold for a while and then it gets hot again.

However, if the heat comes, all you have to do is act as before, so it was right to prepare for the winter that may or may not come.

“Monia, wake up.”

Chester wakes Monia when the rain stops.

“… … .”

Monia, who had muscle pain all over her body from practicing climbing and climbing trees whenever she had time yesterday, looked at Chester with a frown on her face.

“why… … .”

“Let’s move a little busier from today.”

“yes? again?”

“yes. I’m thinking of building another warehouse.”

“… … .”

Monia’s face frowned even more at the words of increasing the warehouse.

“why?”

However, Monia only frowns and obediently gets up while asking the reason for building the warehouse.

“The days are getting colder. Maybe winter will come to the island.”

“winter.”

“I’m thinking of building a separate warehouse for storing firewood in preparation for the winter.”

“OK. Are you looking for bamboo again?”

“right.”

Monia was accustomed to taking the basket and tools placed in one corner of the house.

The tools he always brought with him when exploring the island were left at home, not in the warehouse.

“What about the roof?”

“Mmm.”

At the word roof, Chester looked out the window at the warehouse.

Just as the roof of the house was changed from leaves to mud, the roof of the warehouse was also changed to mud.

“I’d like to do it with a clay board.”

The biggest problem is the weather.

It rains every day, so the mud cannot be dried.

Rather, the well-dried mud of the kiln absorbed the water and was washed away, to the point that a new kiln had to be built later.

“I can’t help it. Let’s do it with leaves.”

“Yes. Then bamboo, twigs, stems, leaves… … How many ropes and strings are left?”

“Every day, if I have time, I can find the ingredients and make it, so that’s plenty.”

“I still have to save… Shall we get some vines too?”

“Okay. What happened to the vines here is that there are no thin ones.”

In the past, Monia only followed Chester’s plans, but as she watched and learned from Chester’s actions every day, she also improved.

I am now able to express my opinions fluently.

“Where are you going to take the bamboo? After all, the other side of the river would be better, right?”

“yes. That would be better.”

There is a colony of bamboo around the house, but it was a bit steep, so it was difficult to work in this weather.

If you just stand still on that slope, you will be swept away by the muddy ground and slide down.

“Then let’s go!”

As the war between the Kingdom Army and the Duke Army continued, the food situation in the castle naturally deteriorated.

By prioritizing food in the national treasury for military provisions, the consumption of food used for luxury in the castle was reduced.

“… … .”

Tiara thought of a cake whose traces were no longer found.

How long has it been since cakes stopped being served at teatime?

Tiara missed sweet whipped cream and fluffy cake.

At teatime today, the only things she could eat were cookies with plenty of butter, muffins sprinkled with sugar and lightly baked to coat the surface, and milk tea with honey and milk.

‘To eat only these things.’

After Jordi disappeared, Tiara’s sex life was in trouble.

Under the pretext of ‘making her into a woman suitable for the royal family’, the people of the castle gave Tiara an education.

The education that other noble ladies had to receive from the time they were born, easily over 10 years and close to 20 years.

Under the name of ‘royal family’, the education was forcibly beaten by raising the level of difficulty and target.

Even when taking a bath or while Tiara was sleeping, the education did not stop.

Whether she slept or not, the educator continued to teach classes by her side, preventing Tiara from getting a good night’s sleep.

No matter how terrible it was, even though she was eating well, her tiara was getting dry.

‘… … Another class in a little while.’

The only time T-ara could rest was a short tea time of about 30 minutes.

However, the quality of the snacks from such teatime was ‘horribly’ deteriorated, and it seemed that even the last resting place had disappeared.

‘As soon as Jordi returned, he was diverted to another front line and could not be met… … .’

Even after Jordy was defeated, he was sent to another battlefield without time to recover.

‘This kind of life is terrible.’

In the end, T-ara could not hold back and shed tears.

As she cried, she moved the cookie, which was filled with the finest butter and was full of mild flavor, to her mouth.

“Wow! Look, Chester! Lots of candy berries! Take them all!”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Huh, I like that the sweetness of the candy fruit is steeped in tea. Can I make Chester too?”

“Oh, that one you tried yesterday? I guess you liked it.”

“Yes! nice! … Do you also add honey? Then it will be more delicious.”

“no.”

“Hey.”

Monia soothed the sadness of not being able to eat honey with candy fruits.

“It’s drinkable.”

‘My taste has changed quite a bit.’

Sharing candy fruits amicably, the two headed for the bamboo colony.
