Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

96 – Shining Lake (3)

After the first night at the lake, Chester, who slept close to Monia in a small house, woke up early in the morning and hurriedly solved the ‘man’s secret’.

“Ugh, damn it.”

After solving the secret like that, Chester checked his body condition while doing light exercise.

Originally, it is the right leg that should be saved and saved again, but it showed considerable improvement in recovery just by spending time in the lake yesterday.

First of all, whenever I forcibly moved my right leg, I could no longer hear the deep sound that was caused by the bones shifting from the depths of my thigh.

And the shocking pain that felt like my legs were forcibly ripped off my body with each movement also lessened.

In addition, even after Chester squeezed out the dead blood as hard as he could, his thighs, which were still swollen, shrunk considerably, and the color of his skin, which made him think that he would run out of breath and die at any moment, became quite bright.

It was an amazing change.

Even if the most serious thigh has improved so much, what about the chest, which was only a cracked skin even if it was a big scar?

To say the conclusion first, the scars on his chest had turned into scars.

The new flesh, which had just sprouted and was weak to stimulation, turned pink just from the blood that flowed when Chester moved and exercised, and four traces of pink, which he had never seen before, appeared on Chester’s chest where the wound had been.

Could this be the wound that, until yesterday, produced rotten flesh and pus every day and needed careful care?

Chester, who looked at the improvement in his body condition with light exercise, rubbed his finger at the reddish scar on his chest.

The flesh was so sensitive that I was afraid that even just rubbing it with Chester’s thumb would tear it open again.

Most importantly, apart from these two huge wounds, there were no traces of any other wounds.

I confirmed the efficacy in advance by restoring the shallowest wound, and I already guessed the efficacy while farming with simple water and confirming that the wound healed quickly, but this was really beyond my imagination.

If these waters were dominated by a country with a large continent, that country would become the ruler of the continent with plentiful crops and an undying army.

With that thought in mind, Chester went to the lakeside and checked the water he had put in the bucket yesterday.

“Um, too.”

The floating lake water was bright like a lake when it had just risen yesterday, but when I checked it again in the morning, it had turned into normal clear water.

‘The reason why I and the crops were able to see the effect of the water must be because I connected the canal from the waterfall to the house.’

Draining water from a lake doesn’t mean that ‘something’ mixed with the water disappears, but why does the water that floats lose its luster?

This can be guessed through the lighter.

Lighters are also not effective with simple jewels.

Electricity must flow between the two jewels to create fire.

Then the lake water would be the same.

It does not end with simple water and ‘something’ mixed with water, but there must be something that creates an effect by connecting the two.

And perhaps, it lies dormant beneath this lake.

‘So the water away from the lake becomes weaker. Water that has fallen from the lake loses its power over time.’

So what if you could just save something unknown at the bottom of this lake?

‘Is this mysterious lake appearing right next to my house?’

Chester thought it might be possible.

“Huaam.”

Just as Chester was thinking deeply, he heard Monia’s yawn from behind.

Hearing the sound, Chester was startled and hurriedly put on the jacket he was holding in his hand.

‘Damn it! In the past, you didn’t even care if you showed your body! If I cover it up like this, I’ll look like I care about it!’

Chester looked at Monia warily, lamenting his outright behavior.

When Chester looked at her, Monia covered her lips in surprise and turned her head to the side.

That action blatantly reminds me of a kiss.

After their accidental first kiss yesterday, Monia had been that way every time Chester looked at her.

‘Oooh!’

And Monia reflected on her own behavior of covering her lips without realizing it.

‘If you keep covering your lips like this, it seems like I’m the only one paying attention to height, height, and kissing! I wish Chester would pay more attention to me!’

Monia, who was covering her lips and turning her head away in embarrassment, didn’t know, but Chester was paying enough attention to her behavior.

Chester, too, covered his mouth with his hand in embarrassment, and turned his head away in thought.

‘… … .’

‘… … .’

The two men and women thought quietly.

‘Wouldn’t there be another kiss?’

‘Wouldn’t there be another kiss?’

The second morning after arriving at the lake.

Compared to usual, Ant had a particularly rich breakfast.

‘Just like yesterday! Give me some strength!’

‘Just like yesterday! Just like yesterday, please!’

Ant happily ate breakfast, unaware of the insidious and cute tricks of a man and a woman with a shy first love.

“Is it delicious?”

– Kwang!

* * *

“Understand? Please take good care of me.”

While Monia was stroking Ant and saying that, Chester set up a new trap.

Monia said she would do it herself, but Chester said she would do it herself because she was getting better much faster than expected.

If you leave it alone, your body will become sluggish.

They install traps, and inspect and fix broken items while exploring.

The first thing I fixed was the shoes.

For the two people living on rough roads, shoes were almost disposable items.

It breaks really often.

Chester and Monia both struggled with the idea of making sturdy shoes, but the soles of the shoes are a problem.

What if I made it out of wood like now?

As now, it becomes a disposable shoe sole that is easily split and broken.

Each time you have to change the soles of your shoes, you have to make it easy to change the soles of your shoes, but this is not easy either.

If you make a hole on the side or bottom to make it easier to replace the shoe sole, that part will be damaged after walking for a long time and the shoe sole will fall out.

If so, inside the shoe?

That’s a problem.

If you want to firmly fix the bottom of the shoe, it is also good to tie the entrance part tightly with a string and tighten it tightly.

But what if you make an entrance inside the shoe and tie it with a string to tighten it?

Now, the soles of my feet, which are pressed and rubbed in my shoes, will not be able to overcome the laces and will tear.

‘Salt is also a problem. I used too much salt to make the hide wear out.’

They worked hard to make and stock up on salt for several months, taking advantage of the hot weather, but as the weather got cooler, the evaporation of seawater did not work smoothly, which caused a setback in salt production.

In that situation, there was no way there would be any salt left after rubbing it with plenty of salt to remove the moisture from the leather.

‘I wish I could get some rock salt from somewhere. Monia eats food seasoned with even a little salt better than unseasoned food.’

Alchemists say rock salt is ‘the bones of the sea’.

As the sea that existed there before died… So, when it dries up like a river dried up by a drought, the remnants left behind are stone salt.

For that matter, they are also found deep in the mountains, but there are probably deep and complex circumstances that Chester cannot understand.

Finding the truth of the world is the job of alchemists and scholars, not Chester’s, so I never thought deeply about it.

‘If rock salt is the bones of the sea, isn’t it likely that there is some of it on this island floating in the sea?’

Chester untied the rope of the stone ax, the blade of which had moved back and forth a little, and inspected the hole.

Split grains are visible in the hole.

A rope was tied tightly up and down the hole to prevent splitting, but things inevitably break if used for a long time.

The rope that was impacted by the axe was finely loosened, and the handle that the tension of the rope was loosened was split from the impact.

Chester showed Monia the axe.

“Oops, is this mine? sorry. I thought you were taking good care of it.”

“no. I’ve been busy while coming here, so I can’t help it.”

Chester said it was okay and was about to pat Monia, but he suddenly felt ashamed of this action and stopped.

Monia, who was silently looking at the hand that was about to be lowered, moved closer to Chester without realizing it.

“!”

Why?

It’s not like Monia hadn’t come close before.

Chester looked nervously at Monia, who approached cautiously, then moved his butt slightly to the side, resolutely determined.

“ah.”

When Chester’s shoulder came closer and touched her, Monia, startled, looked at Chester and carefully leaned her head on his shoulder with a soft, relaxed smile.

“… … .”

“… … .”

And in that state, the two silently checked each other’s tools.

And while checking the tools, the bodies of the two did not come apart even a bit.
