Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

99 – heterogeneous exchange(1)

‘Is the thing in front of me a human?’

But no matter how you think about it, you’re not human. But if there is one possibility.

‘Are they humans who came to the island and settled before we came? Is it the result of the descendants of that human adapting to the island and gradually changing?’

But there’s something really odd about that.

Look at those bonfires and the traces of the house that they clumsily imitated.

Isn’t it like a baby learning by imitating knowledge he didn’t know?

‘Doesn’t the people who settled here have such simple knowledge?’

It can’t be.

‘It is essential knowledge for survival, but did the technology exist because it was not passed on to descendants in any way?’

It can’t be.

‘If that’s the case, that would mean that it’s a creature that has nothing to do with humans but has changed into a form similar to humans.’

Just as the countless beasts that exist in this world all walk on all fours.

Just as humans, dogs, and cats, completely different creatures, all have the same two eyes, two ears, one nose and one mouth.

‘It’s not impossible.’

A beast transforms into a human over a long period of time.

‘It doesn’t make sense that there are so many creatures that resemble humans in this world, but there is no creature that resembles only humans.’

But… As expected, what I felt when I saw a human-like beast with my own eyes was very different.

When Chester, whose head was complicated, looked at himself with shaky eyes, the young owner of the island did something.

And Chester, seeing the action, sighed.

“Oh God.”

Chester took a piece of fruit in his hand, carefully ate it, and was speechless when he saw the young island owner showing a sign that he was safe.

I knew that animals also had the ability to communicate, but this was too much.

There is an attempt to communicate with completely different creatures, there is cultural literacy to the extent of preparing food and flowers as a token of friendship, and even an intelligence that can clearly communicate the meaning through gestures and actions after knowing that language is not communicated. do you have

In this case, it is simply not at the level of human resemblance.

‘It’s forming a civilization.’

Why do we need the power to communicate with others who do not agree or do not communicate?

It means that a proud civilized society formed through dialogue and emotional exchange, rather than a barbaric society made up of simple logic of power, was formed between those creatures and their own kind.

“… … .”

Chester stuck his machete to the ground and set it down, then slowly reached out and took the fruit and flowers he was holding so as not to surprise the other party.

Then he slowly brought one of the fruits to his mouth and carefully chewed and swallowed it, just like the creature in front of him.

In the fruit, the sticky sweetness was felt intensely.

‘… … It’s delicious. Is the texture close to that of an apple? It feels like honey with just the right amount of sweetness added with the freshness of lemon, which is mildly sour.’

When Chester took another bite of the fruit, the creature laughed and put the whole fruit it had bitten into its mouth and chewed it.

‘Even the seeds are eaten whole.’

The creature that chewed and swallowed the fruit looked at Chester, who was still eating the fruit, then took a step forward.

Chester almost took a step back in surprise, but after displaying an openly wary and fearful attitude, he took a step forward as well, not knowing how his opponent might change his attitude.

As Chester approached, the young owner of the island held out a hand with his thumb, index and middle fingers folded, and only his ring and little fingers extended.

Just as throwing is the most powerful weapon for humans who are not equipped with mediocre weapons, the most powerful power possessed by the owners of the island is ‘throwing’.

Therefore, the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, which exert their strength in the throwing, can be said to be ‘weapons’ like fangs, claws, and horns of other animals.

Therefore, when they want to share friendship, they insert three weapons and hold out their ring finger and small finger to the other person.

Looking at the young island owner’s hand, Chester took the same hand shape and extended it, and then the young island owner laughed and put his ring finger and small hand on Chester’s ring finger and little finger.

Chester’s and the young island’s master’s fingers were so different in size that the finger-spinning became a form of covering Chester’s hand entirely.

Just as Chester admired the other’s intelligence and culture, the young island owner admired Chester’s ability.

Making all sorts of strange things out of miscellaneous things around me is also true, but most of all, I was impressed by the fact that he made and used the ‘little sun’ freely.

In addition, seeing them in person like this, they were very different from their people who had risen to the top in the past.

First of all, appearance.

The people of those who climbed to the top were so weak that only bones could be seen, but they were well built with flesh and muscles.

and brain.

Since the creatures on the island do not know what the owner of the island is doing, it was difficult to ‘manage’ them and the island.

However, the creature in front of me is different.

It reads the meaning just by briefly showing one’s movements. Very smart.

‘Maybe it’s because I’m weak.’

There were many things they didn’t have.

A little sun is also a little sun, but the various shapes of claws that they freely separate were also amazing.

When they sleep or lie down to rest, they collect a lot of leaves and make a soft seat to sleep, but they made and used something that went further than that.

Of course, much of what they made was unnecessary to the physically strong owners of the island.

They didn’t need an ax because it was difficult to chop wood with their bare hands, and they didn’t need a house to escape the scorching sun and cold because they had hair on their bodies.

But there were also helpful ones.

Especially that little sun.

‘If I learn how to make a little sun and go back, I will be revered as the greatest warrior!’

Of course, now they are making small suns using talismans, but since they were making and using them before they gave them talismans, there must be other means.

The young island owner wanted to learn it.

The young owner of the island removed his walking fingers, said a simple greeting, and disappeared on the spot.

“What was it?”

While Chester muttered that, the owner of the young island far away pondered.

I want a little sun myself.

Then, what should I give them to have a little sun?

The young owner of the island, who was worried while wagging his tail on the tree, didn’t seem to have any intention of removing the amulet he had handed to him while praying for a blessing.

When Chester returned, Monia was preparing to go find it with Ant, worrying about Chester taking longer to search than expected.

“Monia, I’m here.”

“Chester! Why are you so late?”

“… … The person who gave me the lighter over there… met with Shall we explain while we eat?”

“Yes!”

During the meal, Chester took a stone from the lakeside and explained it while drawing on another stone.

Starting with the traces that imitated a bonfire and a house he found, the size of the traces, the conclusions drawn from the pressure marks left on the lighter, and even the owner of the young island that appeared at that time.

And when she finished explaining that she even had some kind of cultural exchange with the young island owner, Monia, who couldn’t accept the whole story, was trying to understand Chester’s story with her eyes spinning.

“Uh, there, I mean, um, that means, that, what. Whoa!”

However, what Chester said was too difficult for Monia to understand, as her thinking ability was lower than that of a normal person.

A beast that adapted and changed into a form resembling a man?

Are they civilized?

Did you even come here to have cultural exchanges?

Monia studied religion from an early age with the education of aristocrats.

From the superficial things like religious views and doctrines to the complex behind-the-scenes things that ordinary people cannot know, such as the history of religion, the relationship between religion and kingdom, and the nobility.

Humans are the only beings in this world who are allowed to resemble God.

is a child of god

To Monia, who grew up learning a religious view full of thorough human supremacy, Chester, who said, ‘What’s strange about having a beast that resembles a human’ looked really amazing.

How can I come up with such an idea and accept it?

“Chester.”

“yes?”

“You, there… Isn’t it shocking that humans aren’t the only ones?”

“Well. I didn’t believe in God or religion in the first place.”

“Hick! Evil, devil worshipers?!”

“It’s not like that.”

Chester spread one hand and pointed out to the great outdoors.

“No one in this world lives alone. Even a stone like this lives by helping others. To us, they are just rolling stones, but they serve as a perfect haven for bugs and small creatures hiding under the stones.”

said Chester, separating the fish with a claw knife.

“You look at me great, but I can’t live without you.”

“oh. Heh, heh heh.”

It must have been a casual comment while explaining, but Chester continued talking without being shy.

On the other hand, Monia was delighted by twisting her body.

“It is such a world. Could an omnipotent, unique, grandiose and great being create such a world?”

Chester held the separated fish flesh in his hand and carefully cooled it by blowing on it, still puffing with smoke.

“If there really is such a thing, it would be a pathetic fellow who doesn’t even know how to live with others.”

Saying that, Chester offered the fish flesh, and Monia reflexively opened her mouth to accept the fish Chester held out.

“… … .”

“how? If you think about it like this, it wouldn’t be so great if there were other creatures that looked like us, right?”

After swallowing the fish she was chewing on, Monia thought for a moment, then stretched out her arm and wrapped it around Chester’s.

“uh.”

Then he carefully put his hand down and brought it into Chester’s, wrapping his hand tightly around his.

Then, leaning her head on his shoulder, she said:

“It’s too complicated. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.”

“Hey, I told you to live thinking about it.”

“I don’t care what the truth of God and the world is, because all I need is Chester.”

Monia laughed at Chester, tilting her head slightly up against her shoulder, and Chester, who met that laugh up close, blushed and looked away.

Seeing Chester like that, Monia smiled brightly and clung a little more aggressively to the trustworthy arm of the man she loved.
