Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

56 – Ant Wolf (2)

Chester and Monia cross the river each time on a specific route.

It is the place where the river is the shallowest and comes only up to the waist. There Chester tied a rope from one tree to another.

Holding on to the rope that crosses the river, the two cross the river.

The waist-deep river swelled due to the recent rain and came to Myeongchi, and the river became even stronger, making it difficult to cross.

The feet are slippery.

“Oops!”

Monia desperately held on to the rope when her feet slipped and almost fell.

Chester had warned her many times that she would die if she was swept away by the river, so she never let go of the rope.

While she was holding on to the rope, Chester approached and straightened Monia, and the two crossed the river again.

Normally, I wouldn’t be this tired, but the weather was like this and the condition of the river was such that crossing the river was an ordeal.

After somehow crossing the river, the two sat down and rested for a while to recover their physical strength.

I lit a bonfire to dry my clothes and body.

“It’s been a bad day these days. Can’t we just get the weather cooler?”

“Damn island.”

“really.”

We chat for a while, take a break, and start walking again.

As the day cooled, the crocodile disappeared, so the two of them walked across the river more comfortably than before.

The forest was wet.

As we walked, each and every bush we reached had raindrops like dew on it, and it really bothered us every time we touched it.

Neither Chester’s pants nor vest nor Monia’s dress were worth drying.

Monia continued walking, carefully removing the dress that was clinging to her lower body and making it difficult to walk.

At least Monia’s situation was a little better as Chester walked ahead and was the first to get hit by the raindrops.

Chester does not just walk;

Thankfully, the machete I was lucky to find showed off its power here.

If you wield it lightly, the weight will cut the grass.

the road opens

After lightly tidying up by swinging a machete, he could walk through this strong forest while maintaining his stamina by walking briskly.

“… … .”

Monia, who had never seen Chester use a machete before, said.

“Are you good?”

“I learned a lot about how to use tools from my father. Although the one I use best is the dagger.”

‘What on earth is Chester’s love for daggers?’

Even after making the claw knife, Chester occasionally lamented that he wished he had a better knife.

‘Hmm. After you leave the island and rob the secret storage, you might as well buy me a nice knife! Whoop whoop. I’m sure you’ll kneel down thanking me!’

Monia thought of Chester kneeling in front of her.

‘… … .’

I stopped imagining it because I thought it wasn’t fun for some reason.

‘That’s not like Chester!’

For some reason, Monia didn’t want to see Chester kneel down or be subservient to someone.

So-called my dad is great! the coolest in the world! It was the same feeling.

Monia, who was just establishing her identity and whose mental age was still young compared to her age, felt that much about Chester, the object of her dependence.

In the meantime, the two arrived at the bamboo colony.

“From now on, I will teach you how to use the machete.”

“Yes?”

The moment he arrived, Chester shook his machete, focused his attention, and took a position in front of the bamboo.

“There might come a time when you have to write, not me, right? learn in advance Look Carefully. Unlike the crude tools we made, this is dangerous if used incorrectly.”

Having said that, Chester moved the machete slowly so that Monia could see it first.

“We’re going to move like this, okay?”

“Yes.”

Immediately after hearing Monia’s answer, Chester’s arm moved once again.

And to my surprise, the hard-to-cut bamboo was cut in one blow and started to fall.

“… … !”

“Did you see it? This is the victory of civilization.”

“The win of civilization… … !”

Monia trembled with emotion.

bamboo! that bamboo! Simple like that!

ah! There must be a reason why Chester keeps looking for good knives!

You can make something like that!

‘The blacksmith is amazing!!’

Shocked and moved beyond words, Monia eagerly learned how to use the machete.

* * *

“Is this a new one!”

Monia, who used the machete and experienced its thrilling performance, exclaimed.

It was, of course, less than half the thin bamboo that Chester had cut, but it was a shot!

The bamboo was cut in one blow!

The reason Monia can use the machete right away is because of the machete’s characteristics.

A machete is not a special tool that requires complicated and difficult usage.

It’s just a working knife.

Since it is a knife intended to be used casually and roughly, it is effective immediately if you learn how to use it simply and basicly so as not to injure your body.

If you can wield it, with the user’s strength, the weight and sharpness of the machete, you can easily slice through bamboo, thick chunks of meat, and hard bones as you do now.

Of course, it’s thicker than other common knives, so it weighs a lot.

Every time I swing it, I get tired.

“strength… listen.”

Monia couldn’t wield the machete, and had to collapse with her limbs shaking.

“I am resting. I have to move the bamboo when I go back.”

“Yes. sorry.”

“What are you to be sorry for?”

Monia sat down to rest on a stone of moderate height nearby.

Watching Chester while taking a break, he swings his machete and cuts through the bamboo.

The thick bamboo that Monia couldn’t easily cut even with a machete was one shot with the machete in Chester’s hand.

Monia looked at Chester’s thick arm and his hand holding the machete tightly.

A wild figure created by clearly prominent muscles and blood vessels.

It moves in an arc at once, cutting down the bamboo.

“You’re a better Machete than I thought. Thanks to that, the warehouse building will be finished soon?”

Chester slashed and slashed and knocked over the bamboo in admiration.

He looked like a tireless warrior.

‘It’s really amazing.’

When climbing a cliff, Chester’s grip is so strong that he rips off his own palms by gripping the string so tightly.

Monia can climb trees that cannot be climbed with strides, as if she were taking a walk.

When it came to making tools or hunting skills, Monia was so great that she couldn’t even catch up with her feet.

But above all, stamina.

The stamina is great.

It’s not like her body was made of steel, but Monia hadn’t seen Chester tired since coming to the island.

maybe once or twice?

When I struggled up a cliff with insufficient equipment to make a canal, and when I had to march for a long time, destroying rough and tough grass in the sweltering heat.

At least that much, Chester looked tired.

‘Are you really human like me?’

Monia used to think about this while looking at Chester from time to time.

Isn’t it too great to be someone like yourself?

‘Could I be like that too?’

And I thought about this a lot.

But I couldn’t figure out how to become like Chester, so I just stopped thinking.

Chester always warned Monia that wild animals were dangerous, but again and again.

‘Actually, isn’t there a big difference between Chester and a wild animal?’

Contrary to what I said, I also thought of that when I saw them catching and eating all kinds of animals.

who is at risk

Are you saying that you are dangerous to wild animals?

After Chester’s bamboo felling was over, Monia, who recovered her strength, went to clean up the bamboo with Chester.

Trim off the branches, cut them to an appropriate length, and tie them with a rope.

Because it was a frequent action, the movement was very proficient.

Now, no matter where she went and told someone she was a noble lady, no one would believe her except for her beautiful appearance.

How on earth did a noble lady from somewhere do such a good job with her body?

Monia even hummed.

This kind of work was nothing compared to digging and grinding hard ground and pulling out stones and boulders in the scorching heat.

After clearing all the bamboo, they headed back home.

It was a bit of a struggle to cross the river with bamboo in the middle, but other than that, there was no problem.

* * *

“Come on!”

“Yes Yes!”

“I tied the rope tightly, so it’s okay if I fall!”

“Can you tell me not to fall?!”

Grunting at Chester, who said it was okay to fall, Monia climbed the tree.

Climb higher than the bare-bones roof, and start laying leaves on the truss that Chester lifts from below.

From the bottom to the top, carefully insert the leaves one by one.

I was anxious.

Continuing the work carefully while relying on the tree branches and the just-built warehouse.

I know that I am tied up with ropes and immobilized, but I can’t help but feel uneasy.

However, Monia did not stop and made the roof.

He left the work that only Chester had done until now to Monia.

I wanted to do well.

More than anything.

‘If you do this, I’ll give you honey!’

Monia worked hard, and it took a long time to complete the roof.

And after a long time, I got a bite-sized honeycomb.

“Wow! honey!”

“Is it that good?”

“yes!”

Watching Monia laugh and chew on the beehive in her mouth, Chester smiled and reached out to wipe the dirt off her cheek.

“It’s covered in dirt.”

At those words, Monia chewed on the honeycomb and quietly left her cheek to Chester.

“Okay, let’s start gathering firewood tomorrow.”

“Yes! I will work hard!”
