15 – After the storm (2)

Chester peeled the bark of a tree and made a thin rope.

Then, she went behind Monia, who was holding on tightly to the torn dress so it wouldn’t fall off.

There was a long tear on the back of the dress, so I drilled a hole next to it and tied it with a rope.

Next, I tied up the traces I had torn to pieces while taking off the skirt with a rope, somehow reducing the exposure of the skin.

However, since it was clumsily tied with a rope, Monia’s skin could be seen between the torn marks.

“… … This will do.”

“Is it really true?”

“Oh, is it okay? It happened.”

“… … .”

Monia pushed her fingers through the gaps tied with the rope, or puffed out her cheeks disgruntledly as she widened them.

“Tear it a little more delicately. Do you know how much this dress costs?”

“Okay, I’m going to make shoes, so bring your feet here.”

Monia put her foot out, and Chester brought a piece of thick bark that was the size of Monia’s foot.

Cut the bark to fit Monia’s feet, drill a few holes and attach the rope.

Next, I tied the ropes tightly by fitting the bark to Monia’s feet.

“Okay, these are the shoes.”

“… … .”

“With this, I’ll be able to walk without hurting my feet.”

“Give me those shoes.”

“My shoes are too big for you. If I walked through the woods wearing this, I wouldn’t be able to walk three steps and I would fall.”

Chester said that and held out his hand.

“ruler.”

Then Monia reflexively grabs the hand.

Like a child holding his father’s hand and walking down the street he has never seen before, Monia held onto Chester’s hand and walked through the woods together, unlike before, when she followed him alone.

The rain forest was in serious condition.

It was difficult to breathe because of the terrible humidity, and with each step, water absorbed into the ground spewed out.

“Ugh! Hick!”

Chester, who was wearing shoes, was better, but Monia, who was wearing tree bark sandals with her feet all exposed, freaked out every time she took a step.

If you step on a leaf, the water accumulated between the leaves spews out, and if you step on mud, water along with the mud spews out, contaminating your legs.

Monia’s feet and legs were dirty with dirt in an instant.

And above all.

“Kyaaak!”

“Oops!”

The rain-soaked ground was too slippery.

“I’m sorry.”

“no. Is it the shoe’s fault or is it your fault?”

“Black! Whoops! Mud makes me feel bad… later.”

Chester didn’t listen to Monia’s whining and started walking again, carefully examining the condition of the forest.

As Chester expected, there was little noticeable damage in the woods despite the storm.

Although various objects blown by the storm hit and smashed trees, no trees were seen to be broken or knocked down by the roots.

However, among the flying objects, there were strange things that even Chester hadn’t thought of.

“… … Is this a badge?”

“It’s a pear.”

“It looks like a fishing boat.”

It was a small fishing boat used by individual fishermen, not a large fishing boat.

It’s a pity, but half of it was torn off and disappeared somewhere, so I didn’t think I could fix it and use it.

“The boat is big enough to be used for fishing in the river. He must have gone out to sea and got caught in a storm.”

Chester looked inside the ship.

“What are you doing?”

“If it’s a ship going offshore, there might be a water trough to store drinking water for, right? I am looking for it.”

Chester found a fishing line and an iron cup on the boat.

‘Do you have any needles? Or a net or a knife.’

Even a crude knife was several times better than a stone knife.

If you had a net, you could catch a lot of fish at once with it.

Unfortunately, knives did not exist, and Chester had to be content with a water cup and fishing line.

‘If I can make a needle, I’ll be able to fish.’

Chester pulled out all the nails in the boat, except for the ones that were stuck so hard that he couldn’t pull them out, and put them in the water cup.

“Where are you going to use it?”

“Well? It’s good to put everything together. iron, iron. You can’t find it on an uninhabited island.”

Chester shook the glass, and there was a loud clanking sound as the nail inside collided with the glass.

‘Good.’

What can you make with nails?

‘A fishing hook? weapon? Or is there no way to melt it down and recycle it?’

It takes a lot of firepower to melt iron again.

‘If you create an enclosed space on all sides and trap the flame in it, how do you inject a large amount of air to increase the firepower… … .’

“Oh, fruit.”

Chester picked up the fruit that had fallen on the floor.

Perhaps the leaves on the floor reduced the impact of the fall, but the fruit remained in its pretty shape without a single scratch.

“Do you eat that?”

“yes.”

Chester picked up a handful of leaves and squeezed them tightly to squeeze the water out.

After wiping the mud off the fruit with the squeezed water, carefully bring it to your mouth.

“… … .”

“how is it?”

“Well. Hmm. Right. Hmm.”

“Uh, how are you?”

“Do you want to eat?”

When Chester handed over the fruit, Monia carefully put it in her mouth.

“how?”

“… … .”

When Monia’s expression subtly changed, Chester laughed.

“What is this? I can’t feel any taste and it’s crumbly… … .”

“It is a strange fruit. right?”

“What fruit is it?”

“I don’t know either. It must be an exotic fruit. It’s a guy I’ve never seen before.”

“Are you eating that?”

“What is that?”

Chester pointed to a mushroom growing on a tree trunk.

“You have to be careful with mushrooms. They often contain poison. But fruits are different.”

“What?”

“Fruits are made to be eaten by birds, insects, and animals.”

After they eat the fruit, the seeds inside are excreted with feces and sprout anew.

“You have to be actively eaten, but you can’t make poison for nothing, can you?”

“… indeed.”

After eating one fruit like that, how long did he walk through the forest?

When the slope suddenly appeared, Chester moved with his feet planted firmly on the ground, grabbing and dragging Monia.

“If you just climb here, it’s a river.”

“Five! River! I can finally eat fish!”

“yes.”

In anticipation of finally being able to eat that delicious fish again, Monia gathered strength and climbed the slope.

Monia’s body, which had been exhausted after a long and difficult walk in the woods, suddenly burst with strength and vitality, and she climbed the slope with eyes full of expectation, finally seeing the river.

“… … wow!”

The river met Monia’s expectations more than enough.

A river that flows so beautifully and peacefully that the storms of last night do not come to mind.

Unlike the sticky sea breeze, which is created by the movement of air by the flow of the river, it is a cool and refreshing breeze.

The blue river running through the lush greenery was close to a work of art by itself, and it gave me a feeling of intense vitality and vitality that is difficult to feel in art works.

Monia, who saw the fish leaping vigorously from the river, clapped her hands with emotion.

“Do you like it?”

“Yes!”

“I’m building a house near this river.”

“like! really!”

Looking at Monia, whom he liked, Chester smiled with satisfaction.

With this, Monia will forget the anxiety, worry, and awkwardness of building a house in the forest and move more enthusiastically and diligently.

‘I like Monia’s simple hair like this.’

Anxiety and worries are quickly forgotten.

“fish! Catch a fish! It looks delicious!”

“Okay, is that so?”

“But how do you catch fish?”

“There are many ways… … .”

Chester checked the nail in the glass of water.

“Should I use this this time?”

“Yes?”

Chester, who had taken an axe and cut off a twig, trimmed the twig and clipped one end to make it a little thinner.

Drive three nails through the thinned part, then wrap the rope around it to secure it.

Just in time, the nail taken from the boat was a large nail to be used for repairing the boat, so it became a very nice and threatening harpoon.

“Now, complete the harpoon.”

“Hey.”

“It can be made with just twigs, but in that case, you have to burn the twigs to harden them. It’s fast.”

“Do twigs harden when burned?”

“If you burn a little. You can just use it without burning it, but then the tip will be crushed very quickly and you won’t be able to use it.”

Chester, holding a spiked harpoon, aimed it at the river and searched for fish.

“Take the harpoon and stab it at the fish, but don’t throw it.”

“Aren’t you throwing a harpoon?”

“If you throw a harpoon, the harpoon can be swept away by the current and lost.”

Monia nodded in agreement, and Chester next pointed at the fish.

“River water refracts light, so don’t be fooled by that. Now that fish looks like it’s on the surface of the river, but it’s actually deeper.”

“Really?”

“yes. And don’t aim for the fish directly, aim for the direction the fish is moving… … .”

Chester stabbed the river with a spiked harpoon and dragged it close to him without lifting it.

“Caught.”

“Really?!”

Somehow, after holding the fish firmly with my hand so that it would not fall off the harpoon, I hooked my fingers over the gills and pulled it out of the harpoon.

“ruler.”

Chester took the fish out of the water and shook it so Monia could see it.

“wow.”

“Now try it yourself.”

“Yes Yes!”

Monia held the harpoon tightly and looked at the river.

‘With the intention of stabbing Jordi and the common people!’

Then, with all his might, he stabbed the river with a harpoon.
