225 – Amado, Hail Island, Uninhabited Island # 3
“Haildo! Where on earth did you do something and you just showed up now? Do you know how much I searched for you? Uh? “Why did you come so late!”
As I was shaking off the seaweed stems from my body, Seo Ye-rim shouted at me.
When I saw her hair was dull and her clothes were clinging to salt, I was worried that she might not have enough energy, but it seems I was unfounded.
Seo Ye-rim said that today is the third day since she was stranded on this island.
“There is no one on this island! “There really is nothing!”
Seo Ye-rim, who had not been able to eat or drink anything for three days, was almost crazy. She always had a hysterical side, and she still does now.
I guess that means she is healthy.
“What happened? “What happened?”
I wanted to ask Seo Ye-rim, who arrived on the island before me, about the general situation. Then she thought Seo Ye-rim was looking around her and she gestured under a certain tree.
“Let’s go over there first. The sun is too hot at the beach. “My skin will all burn.”
I see.
Direct sunlight is dangerous.
With that feeling, we sat in the shade of a palm tree near the beach.
Seo Ye-rim said.
“I was talking with the captain of the ship when the accident happened. It turned out that the captain was a member of the Telos Truth-Finding Committee. “From the beginning, the captain was planning to imprison me on this island.”
“「Telos Truth Investigation Committee」? What is that?”
“Why, when the first generation superconducting cell phones came out, one in ten million exploded while charging. “Close to ten people were injured because of it.”
Is that so?
It seemed like that.
When there was a lot of fuss about making cell phones using superconductors, there were cell phones that exploded while charging. So you said they recovered all the items sold on the market?
But I haven’t heard of anyone suffering damage from the explosion.
“The company bribed the victims with money and buried the accident itself. But not everyone can be bought with money. “Those people used to protest in front of the company every day.”
I see.
Seo Ye-rim said that the captain of the cruise ship was the one whose only daughter’s face was seriously injured due to an exploded cell phone.
“It’s not exact, but now that I think about it, I think it’s him. So, with a grudge against Telos Corporation, they threw the ship into this strange crack and trapped me on a deserted island.”
It’s a reasonable guess.
Can we say that Kang Cheol-min and the cruise ship captain were forming a team? It was also surprising that Seo Ye-rim’s attitude was quite calm.
“Isn’t the problem serious?”
I asked.
Then Yerim snorted as if she was secretly bragging about herself.
“Since I was a child, I have almost been kidnapped more than ten times. “This is something that can happen often.”
I guess living as the daughter of a rich family isn’t easy.
She decided to tell Seo Ye-rim as much as I know.
“There was Kang Cheol-min on the ship. You know my classmate Kang Cheol-min, right? He’s a dead guy. That guy was alive and on the boat. “I think we got screwed.”
“Really? “That Kang Cheol-min was alive.”
It seems that Seo Ye-rim didn’t know that Kang Cheol-min wasn’t dead. What happened to other people?
According to Kang Cheol-min, this strange crack sucks in people with ‘high magical power’, so only civilians would not have been caught in it….
“I think Jinana and the nymphs got caught up. I think Ari felt the same way. There is a high probability that my animals were also involved. “Maybe it’s somewhere on this island?”
I got up from my seat and looked around.
I saw a white sandy beach with white waves, a jungle forest with trees and bushes, and a hill that looked quite high.
You will have to do an accurate measurement to find out, but it seemed like an island with a fairly large radius.
I feel like I would need a week to walk around the entire island.
“Oinoi! Illinois! Coris! Moralis!”
First, I called out loudly to the nymphs.
An uninhabited island suddenly caught in the middle of nowhere.
“Kkkkkkkkk! Ah! Bang bang! Kalinoi! Yingying!”
I called out loud to my animal friends. Because animals have good senses, it was certain that they would hear my call and come, even if they were far away.
But not a single cry answered my cry.
“I hope everyone is doing well.”
I was worried about the people and animals around me.
What is happening because of this guy Kang Cheol-min?
If I were to escape from here, I would have to meet him and punch him in the face before I could get out of my wits. While I was thinking that, I heard something ringing.
Guuu-.
When she turned her head, Seo Ye-rim was holding her stomach and her face was blushing.
“What… !? No… !”
“… ….”
What is wrong?
I didn’t say anything.
But if you think about it, it was only natural.
I heard earlier that Seo Ye-rim said that she had not eaten anything for three days. Even if she was a strong awakened person, it would be natural for her to be hungry after starving for three days.
Also, he was very nervous at the thought that he might be stranded on an island alone, and when he met me, he must have relaxed some of his tension, so it was only natural that the physiological phenomenon that he had been ignoring for so long suddenly showed up.
I slapped my cheeks to wake myself up.
As much as I was worried about the nymphs, my friends, and the animals, there was nothing I could solve right away.
In times like this, it is better to take care of what can be done right away, one by one, rather than being depressed by worries that cannot be resolved.
It’s urgent right now.
First of all, we had to survive on this island.
“First, let’s think about our own survival.”
According to Seo Ye-rim, I also arrived at this island after drifting for about three days. Perhaps because I had vomited up a lot of sea water, my stomach was exhausted and I was very hungry.
Ssuk sseu-.
First, I tried writing letters on the beach using tree branches.
Seo Ye-rim asked after seeing that.
“What are you doing?”
“It was an objectification of my condition. “This is my condition now.”
「Hunger: 20/100」
「Thirsth: 50/100」
「Sleepiness: 90/100」
「Injuries: None in particular」
So to speak, it was a simple self-diagnosis.
You have to accurately understand your condition to be able to prioritize what to do first.

Zek-. I handed the stick to Ye-rim Seo and asked her to quantify the condition and write it down.
Then, surprisingly, Seo Ye-rim wrote a letter on the beach without complaining.
「Stomach: Very hungry」
「Troat: very dry」
「Sleepy: Very sleepy」
I see.
It is a total crisis.
I remembered the 333 law.
It was said that humans can survive for 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food.
Now, Seo Ye-rim has been without water for three days.
Although we are said to have a sturdy body unique to the Awakened, this island somehow absorbed our body’s magic like a sponge, so we were now just like ordinary people.
Seo Ye-rim would do well to drink some water today.
“Water…. It’s water….”
I tried to pull the few remaining magical powers in my body to the surface as much as possible. Although it doesn’t have any kinks, it should be able to activate it to some extent with “Wild Persimmon.”
A fragrant smell filled my nose.
Zek-.
When I raised my head, I saw the palm tree where we were resting for shade. I also saw coconut fruits hanging there.
“Oh. What. “It’s a coconut fruit, right?”
According to the videos I watched, coconut fruit is very helpful in relieving thirst and fatigue. And on the other hand, a question arose.
“Hey. “There are coconut fruits hanging like that, so why aren’t you eating anything?”
“I can’t climb a tree.”
I see.
Now we are almost like ordinary people.
Without the help of magical powers, Seo Ye-rim was unable to climb trees. Seo Ye-rim was more interested in developing her special abilities than training her body.
If it had been Ari or Lee Jin-ah, who never neglected physical training, he would have been able to climb a tree easily by himself.
“So, why didn’t you train yourself a little more on a regular basis? Wait. “I’ll go up and drop it so you can catch it from below.”
As I say now, I was quite confident in climbing trees.
Sussssseu-. I literally climbed the tree like a squirrel, and before I knew it, I was near the top of the tall palm tree.
When I picked the coconut with my hands, the sensation was quite heavy.
“Hey! Drop it!”
Toduk-.
The three fruits obtained that way.
I went down to the floor, found a rock that looked suitable, and hit the coconut with it. The sight of it splitting open was quite nice to see and the sound was also nice.
Jeezjeojeok-.
I handed the opened fruit to Seo Ye-rim.
Pot-!
Then, Seo Ye-rim took the fruit from me and drank the contents inside, as if she couldn’t bear it anymore.
He seemed quite serious as he gulped down his throat and drank without paying any attention to the thin liquid flowing down his throat and onto his chest or soaking his clothes.
He eats like a person who has starved for several days and is thirsty.
In reality, it is the same.

“Huh, I guess I can survive now!”
After eating the coconut fruit, Seo Ye-rim regained her strength in an instant. How long has it been since I last had such a delicious drink?
Even the wine she enjoyed drinking every evening could not provide such deep flavor and refreshing thirst quenching.
“… ….”
Guuu-.
The problem was that although her thirst had been quenched, her hunger had not yet gone away. In fact, I became even hungrier now that the food had arrived.
Seo Ye-rim was very embarrassed by the constant sound of her stomach rumbling.
But Haildo nodded her head seriously, saying, “Now that we’ve filled her throat, we need to find food to increase her calories.”
Zek-.
Haildo gets up from his seat and goes into the bushes.
“First, I’m going to get some food and figure out the geography of the island. Since it is a large island, there must be valleys with underground water or clear water. “Look for other people too.”
Seo Ye-rim thought as she followed Hail-do, who was quickly making a plan.
‘Has this guy been this trustworthy? When I think about it more than that, what on earth is this situation? The two of us have to survive on a deserted island… !’
There was no doubt that it was an emergency situation.
However, Seo Ye-rim’s heart began to pound with a mixture of tension, excitement, and strange relief.
