98 – Shining Lake (5)

A week after coming to Shining Lake, Chester was sure his right leg was completely healed.

Even if you swing your legs around, see, put your own weight, and apply pressure from various angles, you don’t feel any pain or discomfort.

‘Could it be that this isn’t just getting better, is it even getting the dislocated bones fixed?’

Chester even thought that even if his wounds were completely healed by borrowing the power of the mysterious water, he would have to live with a permanent disability because he had already used his legs in a state where his bones were greatly twisted.

However, as if such worries were useless, the miraculous power of the shining lake healed his leg perfectly.

Chester observed the intact leg, sat down on the spot, and then bounced his leg like a spring and jumped up from the spot.

After landing, I tried to move quickly by alternating left and right, or I ran a few laps around the lake.

“Oh oh.”

Legs are light.

As if the shackles that had bound his legs for so long were broken, his legs moved as Chester wanted, without any discomfort or pain.

‘Was my body this light? It looks like he has wings on his back.’

Chester climbed a mossy and slippery rock and stood on one leg for a long time.

tumbling. and back tumbling.

I show off my flexibility by tearing my legs straight, and I even throw a kick into the air once in a while.

As Chester was enjoying his better leg in every way, Monia woke up at home and watched Chester on her stomach.

“… … .”

At first, Monia, who looked at Chester thoughtlessly with a drop of saliva dripping from her mouth, soon opened her eyes wide at the sight of Chester performing all kinds of circus tricks.

“Eh?”

I hadn’t woken up until then, and my mouth was making strange noises, but at least it was clear that I was waking up quickly with visual surprise.

“Uh, uh, eh?”

Monia got out of bed erratically, while still making strange noises with her mouth, dropped Ant, who was sleeping entangled near her leg, and left the house.

– Turn it off, huh?

When Monia fell, Ant rolled over on the floor, looked around, then curled up and went back to sleep.

“Uh, uh uh.”

Monia, who had been staring at Chester for a while because her head wasn’t turning, eventually approached Chester with staggering steps.

“Ahh!”

With a thrilled voice, he hugged Chester as he approached him tightly.

“Ugh!”

While Chester was dazed by the feeling of the world’s soft yet large being roughly crushed and pressed, Monia said while rubbing her face and body against Chester.

“Is everything better?”

“… … yes.”

“really? really? Isn’t that a lie? Is everything really better? Yes? Yeah? Yes?”

The eyes of Monia, who kept asking questions, were full of water as if they would fall apart if touched.

“yes. It’s really all right.”

how hard was it

It’s hard to bear sanely when you see the man you love fighting off a bear and getting hurt because he’s tough and scared.

How can someone you love get hurt because of your own fault?

Even so, Monia pretended to be normal. I played a good self.

If he breaks down after seeing Chester’s wounds, he thinks he will overdo it again, so he couldn’t bear to show his weakness.

“Everything, I’m glad.”

That’s why, the moment she found out that Chester’s wounds were all healed, Monia collapsed without hesitation and said, shedding tears.

“Really, black! sniff! really! Whoops! What a relief!”

cried like a child

“aaagh!”

“Hey, hey. don’t cry. huh? Because I’m fine.”

“Hueeeng!!”

“Oh really. Please don’t cry.”

“really! I! Black! really! Heeeng! please! Please don’t hurt me! really! Don’t do anything dangerous!”

No matter how much she cried, Monia calmed down when the sun rose at the highest point in the sky.

“Oops.”

Chester smiled softly at Monia’s red and swollen face.

“Do not laugh! sniff.”

Even though he is scolding her like this, how can a woman who cries and likes her just because she was injured and then healed is not lovable.

“Whoops.”

“Because I’m not laughing!”

“yes. Yes, yes.”

“What should it be! sniff! It’s the fault of the person who got hurt in the first place!”

“yes. right. I was all wrong.”

“… … I know I was wrong first. What is your fault.”

Monia grumbled and hugged Chester tightly.

Chester also stretched out his hand and hugged Monia.

It’s been a week since we slept together in a small house.

The two couples, inexperienced in love, have developed enough to lightly hug.

The two of them, who enjoyed a light hug, looked at each other lovingly, even though it was only for a short time, and decided to get used to preparing breakfast.

Monia gathered the twigs and piled them up, then put some kindling in them and started the lighter.

Every time Monia pulled the trigger, sparks that stung her eyes spurted out, leaving clear and intense traces on Monia’s retinas.

Even though I closed my eyes in surprise at the intense flames, the shape of the sparks shimmered clearly inside my eyelids.

While teasing her eyes like that, she fired a few sparks to light the fire, and Monia trembled with emotion.

“Ah, the quirks of civilization.”

I was really moved when I used the machete. How quickly I was able to proceed with the work while simply cutting the hard-to-cut bamboo, and how comfortable my body was.

But this is on another level.

“You can’t even compare to a presser!”

“If you were so dissatisfied with the press, you should have told me in advance.”

Chester, depressed by Monia’s comments about ignoring the snoring she had worked hard on for a long time, took out the fish in the trap and started cleaning it.

“oh. ah Oh no! The Chester Nurgae is also great! Really? that just… .”

Chester, who looked at Monia, who was embarrassed and at a loss for what to do, smiled and gestured that it was okay.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. How would you compare the one I made to the lighter?”

“Ugh… .”

Chester, who tossed the entrails he pulled out while cleaning the fish to Ant, washed his hands and knives that were soiled from disassembling the entrails in the lake water, and then started cleaning the fish.

“Do you like lighters that much? I admire it every time I light it.”

“Ha, but! That’s amazing!”

“Reiter from the duke’s family was even more amazing than that.”

“At the time, I didn’t know how great it was… … . It’s sad when you think about it. Steal that along with the secret warehouse!”

To think that the lighter has become a purpose comparable to the secret storage of the duke’s family.

Chester giggled and put the finished fish on a tree branch and handed it to Monia.

While Monia grilled the fish, Chester looked around to see if there was anything else to eat.

“… … .”

Chester, who went to the farthest corner of the corner of the lake where they had made their house and stayed, where the sunlight clearly reflected and dyed the surface of the lake pure white, stopped at an object that was quite strange to say it was created naturally.

“What is this?”

The identity of the unusual object Chester found was a tree branch.

In fact, tree branches are a resource overflowing on this floating island, so you can get more than 10 with just one step, so it’s not unusual in itself, but the important thing is the shape of the tree branches.

As well as the twigs piled up in a conical shape, I looked inside the twigs piled up like that, and I saw a bunch of sticking together the flesh from the split branches.

‘What is this.’

It’s a very clumsy shape, but it wasn’t hard to figure out what it was imitating.

‘… … .’

We know that birds tuck their prey in tree branches to keep them.

I also know that there are animals that gnaw down large trees and pile them into rivers to make their homes.

However, I could also see that what I was seeing in front of me now went beyond the ‘level of animals using tools’.

‘Was it the person who gave us the lighter?’

Chester was the first to think of that, but soon dismissed the possibility.

Why is it that a person who cannot make a fire on his own readily gives out a lighter that can conveniently create fire, an essential tool for life, to people whose names he does not even know?

‘Then did I accidentally drop that lighter there?’

Chester, who had been sleeping against a fire-made log as a wall, and had no idea what the hell to move to ‘accidentally’ drop a lighter inside, Chester dismissed that possibility.

If so, what the hell is it?

‘The most important thing is that there was nothing here until yesterday.’

Chester pulled out his machete and went into the woods, wanting to explore a bit deeper while rubbing his now intact leg.

And there, Chester found a structure that clumsily mimicked their own house.

There was a really serious difference in the degree of completion, but if you look at it calmly with your eyes closed, there is only one big difference in the structure.

“… … How many people?”

Chester, who at first thought it might have been built to sleep several people, plucked out the black, curly hairs that got stuck between the structures and examined them.

Then he looked at his lighter.

Black hair finely caught in the cracks of the lighter and dent marks left on one side of the lighter.

Placing his thumb over the dent again, Chester inspected the structure again.

At least, this structure was said to be three times as tall as the one Chester and Monia built.

“Do giants really live on this island?”

Chester was saying that when he suddenly heard the sound of something falling behind him.

It was a small sound, like a large fat squirrel or a fruit the size of a child’s fist fell to the ground, but Chester quickly turned back and pointed his machete. Closed.

At first, I thought it might be a person in front of me.

It was because he stood proudly on his two feet with one hand on a tree.

But after a while, I wondered if it was also a beast.

That’s because the thing that stood on two feet lowered its long arms down and stood on the ground on all fours.

To be called a human, he looked like a beast, starting with the black hair growing all over his body.

However, their facial features and body shapes are too human-like to simply dismiss them as animals.

Then, the unknown creature looked at Chester and cautiously reached out a hand.

Chester hesitated and was wary when his hand was extended, but eventually, looking at the object in his hand, he unwittingly let go of his guard and lowered the machete.

– Ooh, ooh, ooh!

While making a small, low sound, the unidentified creature held out several fruits and a single white flower.

In front of that obvious sign of friendship, Chester couldn’t help but stare at it without doing anything.
