226 – Amado, Hail Island, Uninhabited Island # 4
Sniff-sniff-.
I made my way through the bushes, focusing on my sense of smell.
A sweet smell came from the tip of my nose.
“Oh, look at this, Seo Ye-rim. “It’s a blackberry.”
I was able to obtain a handful of fruits from the bush that were about the size of a thumb joint. It wasn’t enough to fill my hungry stomach, but it was better than nothing.
I was also able to obtain aloe that grew on the floor.
“Wow, there’s so much to eat. Seo Ye-rim, there was so much food around, but you were starving for three days?”
Tsk tsk tsk.
Seo Ye-rim, who was eating aloe like a squirrel eating grass, stopped when she heard my story. Then, he frowned slightly at her, avoided her gaze, and responded bluntly.
“I couldn’t see it. In the first place, you were distracted by the thought of finding people rather than finding food, right? “So I found you in the end.”
That was it.
I’m surprised that Seo Ye-rim found me.
Fortunately, I had a lot of experience going to Taecho Village with the nymph Oinoi to pick mugwort or wander around the rice fields to find various medicinal herbs.
Even though they were not at the level of nymphs, it meant that they were trained to a certain degree in how to distinguish between edible grass, non-edible grass, edible fruit, and poisonous mushrooms.
“Hey! Look at this! It’s a mushroom! How is it! This is what I do when I do it too! You can eat these mushrooms, right? “It’s not flashy, but it’s plump and looks delicious!”
Zek-.
Seo Ye-rim raised her hands high as if she had found a mushroom growing at the base of a tree. He looked extremely proud, but unfortunately I had to shake my head.
“No. That’s poisonous. Rather, these mushrooms are edible mushrooms.”
Bong.
I picked a mushroom growing near a tree. It was a colorful mushroom like a ladybug, and the white spots on its red cap were impressive.
It looks like it’s from a game.
“Anyone can see that it looks like a poisonous mushroom, but is it an edible mushroom? “Can’t I eat here?”
Seo Ye-rim holds the two mushrooms in her hands and compares them.
He looked quite relaxed as he sniffed.
Seo Ye-rim thought it was amazing how well I was able to distinguish between mushrooms and fruits and find them, but in fact, I was also amazed. She never thought that the “Wild persimmon” She had recently trained would be so helpful.
It was because I still had some of the feelings from when I turned into a giant dog squirrel.
I was embarrassed when I became Haildo, a big dog squirrel, but now that I think about it, I realize that if I hadn’t had that experience, I would have been in a lot of trouble by now.
Sniff-sniff-.
I twitched my nose again and tried to listen.
I could hear the sound of water flowing in my ears.
“As expected, there is water.”
Slurp rippling-.
I discovered a stream flowing between rocks inside the island. The water was so clear and transparent that you could see the fish living in it swimming.
The depth is about my knee.
Whoop-.
When I tried it once, it tasted just like ordinary water.
Still, I thought it would be good if I could boil it and eat it because it could contain parasites or other bad substances.
“First, let’s make a base camp near here. I think you can make a simple tent using tree branches and leaves. Seo Ye-rim, please make a bonfire to boil water.”
Building a camp to survive in a deserted nature was a boringly common thing for first-generation awakeners like me.
Now that you can’t use magical power, the most important things to protect yourself are shelter and flame.
I stuck tree branches I saw nearby into the ground and made a simple tent using vine stems and leaves.
It was big enough for one person to fit in, but it was a good size. Luckily, I also acquired a crumpled iron plate. After knocking it around a lot, it seemed like it could be used as a ‘pot’.
“You’re lucky.”
If I had an ax or something, I would have cut down a tree and made a cabin.
“Seo Ye-rim, the tent was roughly built. Wind or drizzle will be enough to avoid it. Did you light a bonfire? I’m trying to boil water. “I also picked up the pot here.”
I told Seo Ye-rim the good news.
But Seo Ye-rim just stood there blankly.
Tingling-.
A thought passed through my mind like lightning.
“Seo Ye-rim, can you make a fire? “It’s really funny to ask you this question.”
Seo Ye-rim’s nickname was “Fire Witch.”
She boasted the most powerful firepower among all the flame users in the world, which meant that she was the most experienced pyromancer.
Lighting a small bonfire would be very easy for Seo Ye-rim.
“… ….”
But Seo Ye-rim did not answer.
The way she rolled her eyes left and right looked very uneasy.
Let’s guess.
Since Seo Ye-rim is a person who creates fire with her magic power, she must not be able to handle fire in the climate and environment of this island, which seems to drain her magic power.
Soon, Seo Ye-rim spoke angrily.
“It’s easy to start a fire… !”
Seo Ye-rim picks up a stick from nearby and starts rubbing it against a nearby tree. It was a very awkward and unimaginable behavior that made me feel dizzy.
She’s a fire witch who can’t even light a bonfire?
# # #
Sweat was dripping from my forehead.
Because she kept rubbing the wood, her mouth became dry and her breathing became rough.
But she showed no signs of catching fire.
Seo Ye-rim collapsed as if from exhaustion.
“… ….”
Slurr-.
Seo Ye-rim rolled her eyes.
In Seo Ye-rim’s eyes, she saw Hail-do catching fish in the stream using a sharply cut tree branch like a spear.
She had already caught three large ones and was very skillful at doing so.
“What are you, a local?”
It was funny.
At the same time, she was also very dependable. Thinking back to the time when she had been searching for people for three days, avoiding the darkness, and not being able to sleep, she felt very relieved that Hail Island was there.
On the other hand, she felt a little unfair.
“I am S-ranker Seo Ye-rim. Daughter of Telos. Private St. Mary’s Girls’ Middle School, 3rd year senior…. Elite of the elite….”
Seo Ye-rim took pride in always being the best. It was safe to say that her pride was the pillar that supported her Seo Ye-rim.
However, Seo Ye-rim was powerless on this island.
The fact that she was a member of a conglomerate’s family, that she was the best pyromancer, and the many things she had studied so far were of no help.
I was angry.
I felt like tears would come out, but I held them back.
“Still, I’m glad I’m not alone.”
Seo Ye-rim thought she was very fortunate that she was able to find Hail-do.
Slurr-.

So, Seo Ye-rim couldn’t overcome the fatigue she had been feeling for several days and fell asleep.
“… “I didn’t sleep!”
When Seo Ye-rim woke up with a start, darkness had already arrived and her bonfire was burning nearby.
Haildo was sitting in front of him, grilling her fish.
“If you don’t sleep, why don’t you sleep? I slept very well. “When you wake up, eat something.”
Zek-.
Hail-do handed a fish stuck on a tree branch to Seo Ye-rim.
It was very warm and the lean meat was delicious.
“What, what kind of fish is this?”
“I don’t know either. To begin with, the vegetation that grows on this island is something I’ve never seen before. That’s what all cracks are like. “But I’m glad we have enough water and food.”
Ppajik-.
Haildo was roasting a crab he had caught somewhere over a bonfire and chewing on the shell.
Whiooooong-.
At that time, a cold wind blew.
“Euch!”
Seo Ye-rim couldn’t overcome the cold and sneezed.
My physical condition was not very good.
She felt like she was going to catch a cold, the first discomfort she had felt since puberty.
“Euch! Etch!”
Seo Ye-rim sniffles her nose and sneezes continuously.
Soon, Haildo, who was making arrows by tying stones and tree branches together, stood up, approached Yerim, and placed his hand on Yerim’s forehead.
Zek-.
Haildo said when he felt his hands were cold.
“I think you have a bit of a cold.”
Whiooooong-.
The cold wind continued to blow.
The weather on the island, which had been in a tropical climate until daytime, now seemed to be falling steadily below zero.
Hail also raised his head.
Something cold fell on his forehead.
“Snow… ?”
Haildo spread his palms as if he was surprised. Quite large snowflakes fell on Haildo’s palm, and Haildo was shocked to see them.
“No, what kind of snow is falling? Why is the climate like this? “Isn’t it an island with a tropical climate?”
It was not a normal climate.
It is truly an uninhabited island with an abnormal climate.
Seo Ye-rim continued to shiver, and even though she warmed her body near her campfire, the cold did not go away.
Her snow began to get heavier, and Haildo looked around and said as if he was embarrassed.
“As body temperature decreases, the survival rate decreases. “I can’t do it.”
Sseukseu-.
Haildo begins to take off his clothes.
He spoke to Seo Ye-rim.
“You take it off too.”
“What? What are you talking about? Take it off! What are you trying to do! I don’t know what you’re going to do now that it’s just the two of you! I’m sure Telos or the government will send a rescue team after hearing about my disappearance! We will be rescued soon! “Don’t do anything you can’t handle!”
“What are you talking about? To raise body temperature, the best way is to have skin-to-skin contact. You told me that at the training center too. “It’s the most basic of basics, but you’ve forgotten this.”
Hail-do, who took off his top, clung to Seo Ye-rim. Then, as he took off his clothes, Yerim felt like she was going to faint.
“Hey! Wait, wait, wait! Okay! I’ll do it! I’ll take it off! Wait! Squeak! Kyaaat… !”
Seo Ye-rim’s clothes have already come off.
Hail-do hugged Seo Ye-rim’s body, wearing only her underwear, and covered her clothes like her sleeping bag.
Warm.
Haildo’s body temperature was hot. Seo Ye-rim had been very cold just a moment ago, but now she was so warm that her body was so hot that she felt like dying.
Her heart was pounding and her mind became hazy.
“I plan to climb that mountain tomorrow. If you climb up a high mountain, you will be able to see the island at a glance. Maybe she’ll find other friends. Seo Ye-rim, are you listening to me?”
‘… ….’
Zek-.
Seo Ye-rim buried her face in the nape of her neck with a confused feeling.
‘The best on an uninhabited island… !’
It is certain that we will be rescued within a few days anyway.
In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just stay with the two of us like this.
Because it was a desert island entertainment for that purpose in the first place!
‘But, does he not mind if I cling to him like this? ‘Why are you so carefree when I, the prettiest girl in the world, cling to you in nothing but her underwear?’
Gugit-.
Seo Ye-rim somehow felt bad.
Mistakes also occurred.
‘Let’s see how easy it is for you to do this.’
# # #
Tingling-.
Yuari frowned at the sensation of her ringing on the back of her neck.
Soon her colleague Lee Jin-ah, who was next to her, asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“No. I have a bad feeling about something. I have a very bad feeling. Heavily.”
Yua Lee gently touched the back of her neck.
Soon Jinah Lee stuck her head out of her cave.
The surroundings were dark and the only noise was the sound of tree branches shaking in the wind.
“A premonition worse than suddenly snowing? Do you have a worse feeling than the bear you met earlier? “It’s a pain in the ass.”
Lee Jin-ah and Yu-ari Yu were stranded on an island together and survived together for three days.
Tomorrow, I was planning to climb a mountain in the distance and look around, but it snowed so I had to change my plan.
━Puong… ! Puuong… !
“What does this mean… ?”
Zek-.
Jinah Lee pulled out the dagger from her waist at the sound coming from the darkness.
