12 – rainy day(4)

It’s been 3 days since it started raining. The wind blowing over the island was getting stronger.

“Kyaaak?!”

And the roof that Chester had built finally collapsed in the rain.

The roof collapsed and the rain that slid on the roof hit Monia, and Monia, startled, got a little closer to the bonfire.

“Hey, is it okay if I stay here?”

“It’s not like that, but it’s still better than going into the woods in this state.”

Chester and Monia were barely looking at each other with the power of the campfire, but the place a little away from the campfire was literally darkness.

Entering the forest under these circumstances is truly suicidal.

However, it was not possible to take refuge near the beach.

It was because the waves were flooding and sweeping everything away from the pouring rain and the raging wind.

If you go close to the beach, you won’t be able to resist and you’ll be swept away by that rough sea.

The only thing they could rely on was this clumsy house and bonfire that they had built on the first day they landed on a deserted island.

‘… … It’s a bit of a limit.’

Drinking water is plentiful.

But there was nothing to eat.

I was faking my hunger with water and the thought that I had to endure extreme conditions now, but it was clear that unbearable hunger would strike soon.

‘… … Can you eat coconut? It’s fruit, first.’

When coconuts were sold in coastal towns, Chester saw that only the juice was sold, so he thought the coconut flesh was inedible.

But now that it’s like this, it was right to try everything.

“What are you doing?”

“To see if you can eat coconut.”

Chester said as he cracked open a coconut.

First, peel and drink the juice, then insert an ax into the gap in the coconut and twist it.

Chester, who had driven an ax and twisted open the coconut, looked inside.

“… … .”

“… … What is this?”

“I don’t know either.”

The inside of the coconut was empty, as if to prove that it was full of juice.

However, there was something pure white on the wall, and it seemed that it was coconut flesh.

Chester took a stone knife and carefully scraped the flesh of the coconut.

“First of all, it seems soft.”

‘Then can I eat it?’

Chester picked up the scraped coconut flesh with his fingers, inspected it, and carefully put it in his mouth.

“… … .”

“Uh, how are you?”

“This… It’s more greasy than I thought. It doesn’t look like fruit.”

“Greasy?”

“yes.”

Chester checked the feeling left on his fingers.

‘Eating too much is not good for you. It’s better to chew a little bit and swallow it for a long time to appease your hunger.’

Rather than that, I thought it would be better to apply this on the skin rather than eat it.

Chester once applied fat from a hunted animal to his face in the hot sun on a snowy mountain to keep his skin from burning.

I thought I could write something similar to that.

“ruler.”

Chester scraped off some of the flesh, picked it up with his fingers, and handed it to Monia.

Monia, who was carefully looking at the coconut flesh on Chester’s finger, stuck out her tongue and licked Chester’s finger.

“… … town!”

And as expected, Monia couldn’t stand the taste of the coconut flesh.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Forcibly eat. I have nothing to eat but this.”

“Sir, I hate it! No!”

“Oh really.”

Chester gripped Monia’s face tightly.

“You die while covering your food like that.”

“Ugh! for a moment! What are you doing!”

“Come on, eat.”

Then, he forcibly inserted a finger with coconut flesh into Monia’s mouth.

“town… !”

Surprised, Monia opened her eyes wide and shut her mouth tightly.

“Ah! this! I asked! Are you a dog?!”

“Oops! right! Whoops! town!”

“If you want to talk, eat all of this and speak!”

“… … !”

Monia really resisted desperately.

She didn’t want to put that nasty thing in her stomach.

Chester plunged his finger deeper, smearing the coconut flesh near Monia’s throat, and pulled his finger out.

“Oops! Kut! gulp!”

Monia, whose throat was irritated, had no choice but to pass the coconut meat reflexively.

“Keck! Kheuk!”

After clearing her throat for a while, she looked at Chester with a betrayed face and said, wiping the white traces of coconut flesh from her mouth.

“This beast!”

Chester looked outside without listening to Monia.

‘… … The wind seems to have gotten a little stronger.’

The campfire swayed loudly, even though Chester and Monia were blocking the wind from the front and the bamboo wall from the side.

The rain was pouring into the house as much as the strong wind, and even though they were burning a bonfire, their bodies were wet.

We are desperately adding firewood and air to keep the fire from weakening, but now it is difficult to find wet firewood.

The limit was approaching.

In fact, the palm leaves that served as the roof could not hold on and were torn off, causing a hole to be opened and rain pouring down.

He was barely avoiding the campfire, but if he had penetrated the side a little further, the campfire might have been extinguished right away.

“Hey.”

In order not to have negative thoughts, the two continued to talk and diverted their attention elsewhere.

“Yes.”

“Did you say you were getting revenge?”

“Yes. Both the commoner and the prince! I will avenge you!”

“How are you going to get revenge?”

“… … well?”

“You’re still a woman with no thoughts.”

“Did you insult me just now?!”

At that time, the wind blew strong for an instant and the campfire blew up.

“no!”

“what!”

All the firewood that made up the bonfire flew away and disappeared into the darkness, and the two people who lost the light for an instant had no choice but to look at each other with devastated eyes.

In a darkened world, we can’t see an inch ahead, but we know each other is there.

After a while, Chester and Monia clung hard to each other to keep warm.

Monia, who had already been severely burned by hypothermia, was not shy here.

However, the fire has gone.

“Uh, uh, uh, what do I do? how to… .”

That one fact had a big impact on Monia’s mind.

The composure he was holding on to in the midst of anxiety was shaken, and the agitation of the mind appeared as the agitation of the body.

The wind like the cry of a gigantic beast blowing into my ears and the raindrops stinging my body like needles.

What she hadn’t paid attention to a moment ago suddenly became sensitive and stoked Monia’s fear.

And, again, the wind blew strong.

“Hee!”

Monia had never thought the wind so seriously before.

To her, the wind was a natural phenomenon of that level that made her feel moderately happy when it blew.

But this is different.

For an instant, Monia’s body shakes just by the strong wind blowing.

The wind that seemed to blow away my soul was like the blade of a god of death in a scary storybook I read as a child.

The story of a miserable man who resisted and resisted the blade of the god of death who relentlessly aimed at him, but lost his life in the end.

It seems that you have become the main character of the story.

“… … !!”

Monia shrank even more and shivered.

‘I’m not shivering because it’s cold.’

Chester, who felt that Monia was trembling with fear, instead of reassuring her, checked the stone knife and stone ax that he had brought with him.

There is a big difference between having tools and not having them in any situation, so these are the things I reflexively picked up the moment the bonfire flew.

‘I’m not dead yet.’

Monia was thinking about death.

It was the same with Chester.

In this situation, it was really dangerous to not have proper rain and wind protection and no bonfire.

‘But I’m not dead yet.’

Chester and Monia were still alive.

‘I’m not dead, I can see my eyes and hear my ears. Move your hands and feet. I also have tools.’

Chester had as many positive thoughts as possible.

‘Then you can live. are you okay. I can live.’

Chester gritted it.

At that time, the bamboo wall on which the water container was cut and woven was hit by something blown by the wind.

Kwajik!

A sharp sound suddenly heard in the dark.

At the same time, the ripped bamboo wall fluttered wildly and hit Chester’s body.

‘Kuu!’

Chester bit his lip hard to keep his mouth from revealing pain.

If you become weak, you die.

With that thought in mind, he removed any elements that could make him feel weak.

It hurts, but I didn’t scream.

So the pain is bearable.

I don’t know what happened, but not to the point of screaming.

So it’s okay.

“Black! Whoops! Whoa!”

Monia’s cries were heard in her arms.

In the darkness where only the terrifying rain and wind could be felt, Chester could clearly feel Monia’s body temperature and voice.

It was something I had never really thought about, but at this moment, Monia was becoming something to rely on.

that you are not alone.

that there is someone

That makes it a strong force.

Even things that seem like they can’t bear it alone and break their hearts can be surprisingly easily endured if there are two of them.

However, continuing to cry and making weak noises was a bit like that.

Chester moved his hands wildly.

In his hand, he grabbed a rope that was hanging somewhere in the house without being blown away by the wind, and he took it and tied it around his wrist.

And tied the other end around Monia’s wrist.

“What, what?”

“ruler. If this is the case, no matter what happens, we won’t be separated from each other, right?”

“… … .”

“So it’s okay. It will be fine. Did you see everything I’ve done since I came to this island? I am much more than you think.”

“… … .”

“That’s why I’m stuck. So rest assured. are you okay. Come on, stop crying. If you cry, your stamina will drop.”

“… … Yes.”

Monia clung a little closer to Chester.

Curiously, the fear of death that tormented Monia so much was no longer felt.

When the two were relying on each other like that, the limit came.

It was not the two of them that reached the limit, but the house that Chester had made hastily.

It was a house that could have endured on a normal day, but it couldn’t stand it in such a strong storm.

The house and the tree that became the pillar of the house.

Woojijijik!!

It sounds like the world splitting in half.

“Ugh!”

“Kyaaa!”

The house collapsed, trapping Chester and Monia beneath it.

Shortly thereafter, a tree broken from the stump hit the wreckage of the house where the two people were crushed.
