Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady - Chapter 278
278 – Someone who knew Monia (1)
After that incident, Chester suffered from a high fever for a week.
Even though he powdered the fragments and fed them to Chester and took care of them, there was no sign of improvement. In the end, after a week without doing anything, the fever gradually subsided and Chester’s body returned to normal.
However, he wasn’t sure if he could be called completely normal. None of them had professional medical knowledge, and they could only assume that the body was in a normal state because the grace of the top had no effect.
After a week had passed and the fever had subsided, Chester looked for food with great hunger.
They demanded a lot of food, including smoked jerky, dried fruit, and dried fish, which they had been making every day since they came to the island for preservation, as well as the food they had been hunting hard every day.
It looked like Chester’s body was asking for food, not Chester’s.
After about three days of eating and drinking while looking for food with half-turned-eyes, Chester was finally able to get back to normal.
When Chester came back to his senses, what he saw was a tattoo that no longer glowed, completely disappeared. And a slightly firmer skin. Clearer eyes, ears and nose. And finally.
“Um.”
“Chester? What are you doing with the stone?”
“Monia. Look.”
Chester held out her hand that held her stone to Monia, then tightened his grip.
When Chester applied strength to his grip, the stone split apart with a loud sound.
“… ….”
Monia’s eyes widened as she lightly crushed the stone.
I know that Chester’s grip is strong, but was it strong enough to lightly split a thick round stone like that? It wasn’t.
“Are the effects of parasites left behind? Chester, is your hair okay?”
“Yes. I think my mind is fine. I don’t feel anything has changed.”
Chester touched the area near his head. He moved Monia, Senna, and Ant far away just in case, and left them near Rex Bay. Even if he thought violently, his body didn’t react.
It was fortunate that there was no abnormality in his mind, but instead, the stronger power was not permanent either.
Just as Senna easily adapted to his rapidly strengthened physical abilities as a parasite and handled it freely, Chester was also adapting to his changed body.
It creates an unknown substance in its body. The substance travels through Chester’s blood and enters his muscles. Using this substance that entered the muscle, Chester’s body produces a different level of strength than before.
‘Are the parasites able to use the traits that made creatures stronger in a limited way?’
Looking at the current situation, that was the only thing I could think of. Chester tested how much strength he could use to crush stones.
As a result of testing, the amount of time he can maintain his power varies depending on how much power he uses.
30 Minutes if the strength is enough to split a stone. However, if you apply enough force to crush it, you can use similar force for about 10 minutes.
The next test was not to limit it to one area, but to see what happens when the entire body is evenly exerted.
As a result of testing in various ways such as swimming, climbing a tree, and running, the time shortened to about 5 minutes even with light exertion if you go to the whole body exercise.
‘The bigger the muscle, the more ingredients it uses. Thighs or back… If I use these parts, the power I can generate is drastically shortened.’
Next, Chester tried to find out how much he could collect by collecting the ingredients while not moving his body for a day, and to see if he could voluntarily store the ingredients in the muscles he wanted.
‘Can’t I just do it that way?’
It was nice to have stronger power. It was good that there was no mental abnormality.
However, deep in my heart, I also felt insecure.
How far has your body changed? If the body has changed like this, wouldn’t it be like an unknown disease that normal people don’t get?
No, more than that.
‘Can you make a child?’
Chester knew of cases in which different organisms hybridized to create organisms. He knew that donkeys and horses produced mules. Dogs and wolves, as well as boars and pigs, can give birth.
But that was the case of similar creatures even though they were different. I’ve never heard of a dog and cat falling in love and making offspring.
There is no such thing as a baby born between a bird and a frog anywhere in the world.
‘How much did this mysterious parasite affect my body?’
Hiding such anxiety, Chester experimented with the parasite-changed body, showing worried Monia every day that she was healthy and fine.

She is hunting around the island, and Monia sees Chester lifting and throwing stones with her bare hands.
After waking up from a high fever, Chester, who had been looking somewhere with improved eyesight, took a stance and threw a stone in his hand.
– Squeeze!
A strange death murmur informed that the stone had successfully hit the target, and Chester and Monia walked along the path the stone flew to collect the prey.
What Chester caught was a rabbit.
He picked up the rabbit he had caught, and Chester inspected it and carefully sniffed it. Then he looked around where the bushes below were overly disturbed, took a rabbit’s hair that was hanging in the bushes, and compared it to the rabbit he had caught.
I wouldn’t have noticed much difference in the past, but now I can tell the difference. It was the fur of different rabbits.
“…… There was one more nearby. Shall we catch it?”
Chester, who dropped the fur he picked up, quickly guessed where the rabbit had fled from the shape of the bush.
“Yes. Would you like to catch it?”
Monia thought while looking at Chester. Somehow, Chester seemed more wild than before.
Chester, who used to track prey with the skills of a hunter, has recently been showing more frequent pursuit of prey with instinct and senses like a beast.
“Chester.”
“Huh?”
Walking leisurely along the rabbit trail, Monia asked Chester a question.
“Have you ever been in a bad mood?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“You’re not asking because you really don’t know, are you?”
When Monia spoke calmly, Chester didn’t say anything and just walked for a while. As he walked, he saw a burrow in which a rabbit had gone into hiding, so he stopped and sat down on a nearby rock.
“Hmm. Does everything show?”
“Forcing yourself to pretend to be bright? Or, are you trying to appeal that you don’t need to worry about using your newly acquired power over and over again, but rather it’s a good thing? Or, strangely, when you go to sleep at night these days, you strangely confirm that I fell asleep first, and then deliberately try to sleep at a distance?”
As Monia spoke one by one, Chester laughed, realizing that he couldn’t hide anything.
“How did you know the last one? I made sure you fell asleep.”
“I feel different when I wake up than when I fall asleep in Chester’s arms.”
“… ….”
“I like to sleep cuddling with each other.”
“…… Yes. Me too.”
Monia laughed at Chester’s answer and sat down on a rock with her butt pressed against Chester.
“So, what are you worried about?”
“If you noticed that much, you would know everything.”
“Tell me directly. I want to hear it in Chester’s voice.”
After a moment of silence, Chester quietly spoke of his concerns.

“Didn’t my body change strangely?”
“Yes.”
“I want to know what to do if we don’t have a baby later on.”
“… ….”
“Even if I could have a baby, that child would be strange… So, I wonder what would happen if I die early or have a deformity. Well, that’s right.”
“…… Yes, that’s right.”
After hearing Chester’s vomited confession, Monia turns her body around and she sits with her hips on Chester’s thighs, then she wraps her arms around his neck and puts her face right in front of Chester. Took it

“Chester.”
“Yes.”
“Even if Chester goes bald later on.”
“Huh? What?”
“Or, if you become a pig that is five times as fat as you are now, or if you have an accident and have trouble moving and need help with everything from eating to doing errands in the bathroom, or else, a parasite like Hope won’t let you down. Even if it turns out like those infected monsters.”
Monia kissed Chester’s lips intensely and said as if swearing.
“I will love Chester, and I will have four children.”
“… ….”
“Even if that makes me unhappy… No matter how much pain you suffer… Chester, I will never regret loving you, and no matter how many times my life repeats itself, I will choose to love you the same way.”
At that, Chester looked at Monia without saying anything. Monia whispered in Chester’s ear.
“So Chester, huh? Do not worry about it.”
“…… Yes. I will.”
Chester hugged Monia, and Monia hugged Chester.
After spending a few moments hugging each other tightly, the two returned home after hunting the rabbit hiding in the burrow.
