Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

33 – Isle getting hotter (2)

Chester simply made a few shoes. However, it was not everyone’s spirit to walk in the rough forest, so I decided to make it with a little more effort.

“To be honest, I had a hard time with the bark sandals.”

“yes?”

“Yes. If you go to a rough place, it will tear, and since it is thin, you can clearly feel the shape of the ground, so the soles of your feet hurt.”

“Don’t talk.”

“Hey, but what are you planning to make shoes with this time?”

“yes? I was just thinking of weaving grass and rope.”

“Eh. Will it hurt?”

“It will hurt a little, but it will be fine once the bottom of the shoe presses down and conforms to the shape of our foot.”

Every time Monia caught it, she remembered the animal skin she had just thrown away.

“How about leather?”

“The leather needs to be tanned so it doesn’t rot, do you know how? I do not know.”

“Uhm, so you just threw away the leather?”

“yes.”

After returning home, Chester went straight to shoemaking.

“But how are you going to make it?”

“Well. I never learned to make shoes either.”

I was told to bring extra shoes when going to the forest, but I was never told to make them without shoes.

They say that a fool who doesn’t even know the importance of shoes that allows him to walk freely in the forest doesn’t deserve to enter the forest.

Chester put the shoe with the sole off to one side and brought the firewood he had left outside.

The wooden blocks to be used as firewood were tied together and stored in a way that was hung on a branch.

In addition, thick twigs and thin twigs are placed in various places near the house by type.

Chester cut a block of wood to the size of his foot, flattened it into a square, and began tying a deliberately loosely twisted, fluffy rope over it.

“You can do it like this.”

If you do this, you will be able to walk for a long time because it is not as hard as using only a wooden block, and it will increase the friction so that the rope does not slip easily like the groove in the sole of a shoe.

“Where are you going to attach the string?”

“I’ll have to drill a hole in the tree.”

Chester untied the rope he had roughly wrapped around the block of wood and brought in a nail.

Originally, it was a nail that was wrapped around one of the harpoons, but since the use of the harpoon naturally decreased as the trap was used, only one harpoon was left and the rest were released.

After bringing the nail to the wooden block to be used as a shoe, stamp it with a stone at an appropriate location.

After drilling the hole with a nail once, this time I took a drill and widened the hole.

In the past, it was a drill with a broken stone attached to a tree branch, but after finding a stone that could be used as a sharpening stone, the tip of the drill was neatly ground and made a new one.

It is as colorful as the size of the hole you want to drill.

‘Would it be okay if I drilled a hole this thick?’

Chester made shoelaces by widening the hole to a suitable thickness and inserting a string through it.

Next, after winding the loosely twisted rope, the end of the rope was inserted into the hole to close it, and both the rope and the shoelace were firmly fixed.

“Oh, how are you? how is it? Are you comfortable wearing it?”

Chester, who tried on the wooden sandals made like that, nodded his head in satisfaction at the feeling of being okay.

“You can make it too.”

“Yes.”

At first, I was worried that I would be able to do it when I was asked to make it, but it has changed a lot.

Because Chester told her the whole time he asked her to make something.

Don’t think it’s hard to make something.

It is enough to simply make it with something that exists now, with something that can be obtained, to the level of simply mimicking the shape.

It’s more of a problem that I think it’s difficult for no reason and my head and hands stop.

Once you have an idea, do it. Doing it is 100 times better than not doing it.

With the help of Chester’s steady brainwashing training, Monia not only does it quickly when Chester tells her to do something, but also has the initiative to make something herself.

While Monia was making shoes by herself, Chester continued making knives.

“Hey, why are you making it with so much care?”

“yes? No, I think this could make him sharper than I thought. That’s why I’m trying to do something sincere.”

“Honestly, it’s noisy to make noise about going to knife until late.”

“yes?”

“Yes. It’s annoying.”

“Maybe.”

Hearing Monia’s words, Chester nodded that he could and looked out the window.

Tree branches spread out thickly outside the window.

While looking at them, Chester suddenly had an idea.

“… … Shall we make a workshop over there?”

Chester said, pointing to the place he had thought of as a possible house site.

“Yes?”

At that sudden statement, Monia followed Chester’s fingers and looked out the window and made a puzzled sound. Chester explained further.

“Should I call it a studio and a warehouse?”

“Suddenly? Is it really necessary?”

“what… To be honest, starting with this house, firewood takes up a lot of space, so it’s hard to keep things, right?”

At Chester’s words, Monia looked around.

A basket placed in one corner.

Next to it is a stone ax and a stone knife.

And the harpoons are laid out neatly on the floor, and the ropes and strings made are piled up.

On the other side were smoked meats, blue strawberry paste that Chester had dried, and a bunch of plant leaves, roots, bark, seeds, and petals that Chester had said could be medicinal.

One side is full of water bottles made of bamboo.

In addition, a wide bonfire was made in the middle of the house to prevent the surroundings from burning, and moss was spread around it to make a bed.

As a result, the house, which felt spacious at first, was gradually becoming narrower.

It’s just that I didn’t feel it because I left home in the morning and worked mainly in the forest, river, and villa.

“There’s definitely a lot going on.”

“right? If it continues to grow, you will have to squat down and take a nap?”

“Ugh, I hate that.”

“So let’s build a warehouse.”

“… … Yes, I like it. But even if you make a warehouse, don’t you have to climb up and down trees to go back and forth between the house and the warehouse? It must be uncomfortable.”

“That’s easy.”

Chester grinned and ran his fingers from the house to the planned construction site for the workshop.

“I’m going to build a bridge.”

“Yes?”

The island floating in the kingdom of Chester and Monia was known as an ominous place as an execution ground for nobles.

But that was the story of the kingdom with Chester and Monia.

There are those who regard this unidentified island as ominous, who does not know how it floats in the sea, but there are also those who regard it as ‘mysterious’.

There was also a church that regarded the floating island as a sacred place, saying that it was a special place where gods were born, and rumors that the golden scent was sleeping on the floating island drove countless adventurers into the sea and turned it into fish food.

There are archaeologists looking for the traces of ancient civilization on the floating island, and there are also those who have been looking for the floating island at the request of rich eccentrics and powerful people who ‘want to own it’.

Or, there are cases where barbaric tribes roaming the sea find an island drifting and endure there as a ‘trial of a hero’.

However, the sea is wide.

No matter how big and vast a floating island is, it is just a small dot on a world map.

Wandering islands don’t even go around the world on a regular route, so there are records in the kingdoms of Chester and Monia that nobles who were sentenced to wandering island punishment died of old age while waiting for the floating island to come near the kingdom again.

Even if countless people around the world are looking for it, very few reach the floating island.

However, it was said that even though it was a very small number, there were people who reached it.

“no way… ! Is that Wanderer’s Island!”

And the man was one of those ‘lucky few’.

After roaming the open sea relying on a small boat equipped with only exploration equipment, he finally found a floating island.

Grandpa’s journal found by chance.

Encouraged by the dream the journal showed, it has been six months since she gave up her home and work and left for the sea.

There were days when he was frustrated by the undiscovered island, regretted his actions and sobbed, and there were many, many times that he almost died in the environment of the rough sea.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! found! found it! did you see it! I mean I found it! This me!”

The man shouted wildly in the excitement of finally discovering the floating island.

“ah! This is not the time!”

After one round of excitement, the man spread his sails and rowed hard to chase the drifting island.

After going near the floating island, the man hurriedly clung to the cliff of the island.

After climbing the cliff quickly using the tools I brought with me when I left the house, I firmly fix the rope tied to the boat on one side to the tree near the cliff.

“It was good.”

After taking care of the ship to prevent it from drifting away, the man went into the darkness of the floating island.

On the way in, for a moment, my feet were frozen with anxiety and fear.

[Atop a mystical mountain where clear water springs endlessly, I saw the kingdom of God. It would have been nice to go inside a little more, but unfortunately I was kicked out without being recognized by the island owners.]

Recalling the contents of his grandfather’s journal that burned his heart, he mustered up the courage to enter the island.

‘God’s country! God’s Treasure! I’ll take it!’

Of course, in the grandfather’s journal he found, there was not a single word written on the word ‘God’s treasure’.
