Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady - Chapter 274



274 – Finding Hope (1)

After preparing all the foundations for a stable long-term life on the island, the Chester family starts exploring the island in earnest and finds the lost item. Found them

One thing I’ve found over the past half year is a machete. The rest of the ring parts of the Starlight. Rex’s shield. And some of Sena’s broken armor.

You may be disappointed that it is less than you thought, but you could also say that it is more than you thought.

Above all, it was a great fortune to be able to retrieve all the parts of the star without losing them.

“I have almost explored this island now.”

From noble mtl dot com

Monia said as she unfolded her map of Green Island for half a year and showed it to her family.

In the past, only Monia could recognize the map with intricate information filled with cute pictures, but now Chester, Senna, and Rex can read it to some extent, and it is being used usefully by her family.

They were able to conduct an efficient search because they knew various things such as where they had not searched and where they lacked in search.

Thanks to that, in the past half year, I’ve been able to understand the geography of this small island, but… However, there were still things I couldn’t find, and at the same time I wanted to find.

One is, of course, a fragment of grace at the top.

There would really be no answer if it had sunk somewhere on the seabed, but I couldn’t give up on this, so the whole family of Chester searched for it with hopes that it might be somewhere.

Next is the rest of Senna’s armor, and Hope.

Hope, to be precise, Senna’s body without the parasites contained in Hope changes to that of a well-trained woman.

She was Sena, who used Hope’s power to step forward whenever she needed strength, so she wasn’t used to life without Hope.

The log that was lifted and moved was heavy, and the rock that was easily lifted and rolled did not move. The sense of helplessness and loss of Hope was greater than Senna could have imagined.

“Hope, what if it breaks?”

The longer I lived without Hope, the more times I would talk about anxiety at night.

This was inevitable. It must be the same sense of loss as a person living a normal life who lost one of her limbs when she closed her eyes and then opened them.

Fortunately, I was slowly discovering something that could be called a ‘trace of hope’.

No, should I call it a trace of hope?

“It was found again.”

“It seems to be gradually expanding its territory.”

Explore the island after lunch today.

Chester and Monia made serious faces when they saw the huge rock and its surroundings that were crumbled as if they had been crushed by something.

In the early days of living on the island, there were no traces of this. That means, while they were living here, something with extraordinary powers that could make such a mark came into existence.

“This is the area mark, right?”

“Or it could have been covered by the back and rubbed against a rock and the rock shattered.”

“That would be really scary.”

What can make such an unusual thing?

That’s right, Hope.

I don’t know what happened, but it was clear that Hope was giving power to the island beast. No, it would be ambiguous to say that Hope was giving strength. It just had the property of burrowing into someone’s body as long as they were holding a sword.

No, maybe you don’t even need to hold it. There won’t be many beasts with hands that can hold a sword.

“Perhaps, Hope, which flew in the typhoon, accidentally got stuck in the body of some beast.”

Senna’s eyes widened at Chester’s words.

“You are being parasitized by something stuck in your body? No, if you do that, huh? How many criminals have I stabbed while working as a knight?”

“Considering the characteristics of Hope, I don’t think only criminals were stabbed. You even slashed a subordinate right in front of our eyes.”

“…… !”

Senna cringes when Chester teases her.

In fact, Hope’s biggest characteristic, which appears stronger than body modification, is loss of self-control.

For example, Senna thought of giving her a small blow, but her arm moved freely and cut down her subordinate.

The thought of giving up the soul is the thought of harming, the thought of harming is the thought of killing.

You can tell by looking at the monster that had the same weapon as Hope that attacked the city.

‘With Hope, the line disappears.’

The line of conscience, the line of reason… It can be called in any way, but the ‘goodness’ that exists in any human being completely disappears.

“If I get Hope again, you will be scolded.”

Senna looked at Chester who made fun of her and said that, and Chester told her to do as much as she could and she laughed.

If the knights of Jaim Kingdom saw Senna like this, she would be really surprised. Because of Hope’s dangers, she was Sena who didn’t even joke about trivial pranks, but she joked like this.

That’s how much Senna believed in them, and it was said that his heart became closer to them.

You can make a joke that you think is a bit too much, and you can accept it with a smile.

“Shall we retrace these traces? Or it would be nice to wait near a bed somewhere in its territory.”

As Monia spoke, Chester looked at the fur of the animal on the crumbled rock and said.

“This looks like wild boar hair. As for the footprints left nearby, yes. Boar is right More than that, the hair is very strong.”

“A wild boar?”

“If it’s a wild boar… Do you want to live in a wetland?”

“Wetland.”

At Chester’s words, Monia opened the map.

“You mean a wetland? So, is it here?”

Chester looked at the map Monia showed her.

There was a place where a wide wetland was formed in a place where meadows were spread near the river.

“When I looked around this area before, I didn’t see anything like a wild boar.”

“It could be that the time and timing of his activities were not right. Let’s go over here and wait.”

Chester looked at Rex and Senna and said.

“I will do that, what will you guys do?”

On this island, the Chester family naturally split into two groups.

A quest divided between Chester and Monia, and Senna and Rex.

Monia and Senna’s chores, which start with simple housework, cooking, tool making, salt making, house maintenance and repairs, and Chester and Rex, who are in charge of the abundant table by showing outstanding results in hunting every time. Hunting team.

Normally, we move in groups like this, but today was a day we decided to call a “Holiday” In our island life.

Even when they were living on the floating island, when they were spending time looking for honey or other food, or doing chores that didn’t need to be done, Chester and Monia used the days they designated as ‘holidays’ in their own way.

It’s a day to spend time doing what you want to do, not taking care of traps, not taking care of tools unless it’s necessary repairs.

In order to gain energy for the next move, I had to find my own freedom, composure, and pleasure in a life that was inevitably inconvenient, and that naturally led to holidays.

Same here.

Today was a holiday, and even though it was a holiday, everyone had nothing to do, so they went out to explore the island as a group.

But that was a while ago.

Just killing and waiting for a creature that may or may not exist in one place to find Hope was too harsh a way to spend a holiday.

That’s why Chester asked Senna and Rex if they would like to spend a holiday like this together.

For reference, Ant works more diligently than anyone else on weekdays by focusing on exploring the surroundings and being vigilant, so on holidays, he stocks up on his favorite foods, eats when he wants to eat at home, and sleeps when he wants to sleep.

“I want to go. Hope is my problem. What about Lex?”

“Umm.”

Rex said after thinking for a moment.

“I want to go fishing! Fishing! I’m going to catch something bigger than my dad today!”

Rex’s hobby these days is fishing.

After Chester taught him, Rex fell in love with fishing, unlike others who thought he would soon get bored, but his goal these days is to catch a bigger fish than Chester caught two months ago.

“Oh, would you?”

“Yes! I think it will interfere with my hiding there.”

That was it.

Judging from the map, the area around the wetland was grassland, and there were no tall bushes for Rex to hide in.

If you use camouflage, you can hide somehow, but it wasn’t good to increase the chance of being discovered with Rex’s size.

“As usual, even just Anubis stands out.”

Of course, Anubis takes it.

“Then Rex, we’ll come back.”

“Yes! Dad! Mom! Sena! Well done wow!”

Rex went fishing, and Chester, Monia, and Senna set out for the wetlands.

“By the way, Chester, where are you going to hide in this wetland?”

“You have to go, but if you have a place to hide, you have to hide, if not, you have to camouflage.”

“At least cover the leaves?”

“Looking at the map, I can’t see any trees around, so that’s a bit different… However, if you go far away from the trees, you won’t be able to see it well even with a telescope.”

Chester saw Anubis.

“…… Hmm. Let’s go and judge.”
