Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

317 – Side Story Ars (3)

The Black Wind has come to play.

Both the Chester family and the people at the top thought it was a problem for the Black Wind, who was in a powerful position as a great warrior, to carelessly leave his seat and come downstairs to play, but since there was no one who could stop the Black Wind, they had no choice but to close their eyes and move on. There was.

Who can stop the black wind? The only person who can physically do that would be the Son of the Black Wind, who is out there traveling the world.

“It’s still small.”

“Human babies don’t grow that fast.”

“I see. Still, since they were born on this island, they grow up quickly. Things that come from outside, if they are born on an island, they become island creatures.”

“You’re adapting to the island. But usually something like that would take a long time to happen, so do you adapt and change that quickly?”

Chester, who still looked like he didn’t know what this island was like, gratefully accepted the pig that Black Wind brought as a gift.

It wasn’t just a pig, the black wind gave us two, a male and a female. It is said to be a birthday present for Ars prepared by all the people at the top.

“Thank you. “Would you like to tell everyone thank you?”

“Wow! Are you a pig? It’s a pig! “Did you give me a pig as a gift?”

“Two male and female.”

“Oh.”

I’m just thankful for the pigs, but there are two male and female. Monia raised the pig and then said that she would treat everyone to a delicious dish.

“Good. “Monia’s cooking is delicious.”

“Then, shall we build a pig farm for a while?”

“A bear or an anteater… “I want to make it strong because there are a lot of kids I have to watch out for.”

An anteater is an animal that Chester once caught and used its claws as a knife.

An animal that lives by smashing trees with its hard, hook-like claws and eating the slugs inside. The meat was hard, but it was relatively large for a wandering island creature, so Chester was happy because he was able to secure a large amount of meat.

“Then, should we build a kennel centered around a tree and build walls with dirt?”

“It’s an earthen wall. I think it would be okay if you pile the soil thickly. If you add grass to the soil, it becomes hard… Good. “Let’s cut the branches of the steel tree and use them as a base for the wall. Let’s knead the grass and dirt and attach them.”

“Do you mix in some rocks as well?”

Black Wind, who was watching the two of them chatting quickly and calmly, stood up and offered to help them gather materials since they were bored.

“Then will the wind help you collect the stones?”

“Got it! “Gather a lot!”

“Monia is grass.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll try to gather enough twigs.”

In the past, Chester and Monia would have stuck together no matter where they went or what they did, but these days, with this division of labor, they often move apart from each other.

“Should I leave the pig at home?”

“Yes. Let’s tie it with a string. “Because you might fall outside.”

“I’ll take Ars and move.”

“Oh, no, Ars is me.”

Before Chester took Ars, Monia quickly took Ars and put her on her back. She smiled mischievously and jumped up.

After she jumped, Monia held on to the rope she had tied to her branch and glided gently down her, and when she got down, she wrapped Ars in her swaddle and carried him on her back. It was.

Chester watched Monia with jealous eyes as she stomped away, waving her left arm wearing her stargazer, before sighing and grabbing her machete.

“How many stones do I need to get?”

“Save as many as possible. Even if there is leftover, you can use it for other things.”

“I’ll save you with a good stone!”

The black wind also left, and Chester looked with lingering eyes in the direction where Monia and Ars had disappeared, then climbed the house and moved to a high place in the tree.

I plan to aim for the branches at the end so as not to affect the tree as much as possible.

* * *

Monia came to the area across the river, where the strong grass grew up to the height of Monia’s solar plexus, and picked up her grass.

“How much grass should I take care of?”

While humming a song, Monia swung the machete and cut down her grass, then gathered it up and put it in the bag on her waist. She had to carry Ars on her back, so she packed a lot of bags that could be worn around her waist.

“Ars~.”

“Ah~.”

As Monia hummed her song, Ars followed her and hummed her song as if singing.

Ars liked singing. She hated music that made sounds by banging on various objects, but she listened with a fit of laughter to the impromptu songs that Chester and Monia hummed to random things.

Since they are babies, they may not like the loud, sharp sound made by tapping because it is irritating, so Chester and Monia turned down the music for a while and only sang, and when splitting firewood, they kept Ars far away and used the vibration of the machete to gently cut the firewood. Wrote .

While Monia cut the grass, singing her work song, Ars watched the small animals running around the grass.

A skinned lizard flying over the grass. A rodent that skillfully grabs hold of grass as if it were a hard tree and moves around flashily. A caterpillar the size of a fingernail eating grass. From flowers blooming in the grass to small birds eating honey.

In the vast, tall grassland, there were so many different creatures living that it was hard to believe it was a monotonous landscape.

Ars cackled when a rodent caught her eye.

“Huh? “What are we so excited about, Ars?”

Monia smiled at Ars and packed her bag full of grass before turning on her heels to return to her home.

“Huh. “The grass here is so strong that it’s hard to walk.”

Even if the grass is cut and felled, uncut grass remains near the bottom. The grass was so strong that it felt like it was difficult to walk.

On the way home, Monia took a break by the river and scooped up river water and sprinkled it on the wound on her leg. She was bleeding from wounds all over her legs where the grass cut her.

‘Maybe I should have worn more clothes.’

In fact, she could have just walked around the outside of the grass field to collect grass, but she wanted to give Ars the experience of walking inside the grass field, so she deliberately walked inside the grass field and collected grass.

Even though her wounds stung, she had no regrets.

“Ars also likes water, right?”

“Huh~.”

Monia held her Ars in front of her breast and took a glimpse of the river water on the tips of her fingers, then she held it out to Ars.

Ars reached out her dainty hand and held Monia’s hand tightly and began to suck her index finger, which was covered in her river water.

Her teeth were slowly growing, so she could feel Ars’ small teeth every time she sucked his fingers and gnawed on his mouth.

“Woohuhu.”

Monia grinned at the feel of her Ars’ teeth and dipped her fingers in the river water a few times. After feeding Ars, she got up when the wound on her leg seemed to be somewhat healed.

For a thin wound cut by a blade of grass, rapid recovery was possible even with the gentle water of the river downstream.

“Now, since the wind must have gathered the stones, shall we go back? “Maybe they are all ready.”

When Monia woke up again and was about to walk home, she suddenly discovered strange traces in the bushes near the river.

Plants grow quickly on floating islands. Recovery is also fast. Traces left by animals stepping on or breaking plants are quickly erased over time.

Traces of broken tree branches or traces of fur left behind by animals rubbing their bodies on trees to mark their territory last a long time. Especially if it leaves hair behind.

However, when a bush is stepped on, it disappears in just a moment. It goes away after about 1 to 2 hours.

Chester would have noticed the difference between the recovered grass and the grass that continued to grow while the grass recovered and would have seen it as a trace, but Monia did not have that level of insight.

Rather than an eye for perceiving the specifications of works of art or artifacts, an eye for looking at nature was needed.

‘There is a trace left.’

But now, in front of Monia, there were clear traces left by the grass being stepped on.

That means there was an animal that left these marks nearby, and the fact that the animal left footprints larger than Monia’s feet was proof that it was a beast of size and strength that was beyond the standard downstairs.

“… ….”

Monia lowered her voice and climbed a nearby tree first.

What does it mean that there were footprints nearby and that Monia just discovered them?

‘He saw me.’

Monia finds herself hiding among her leaves, and as she moves, she takes out her star-seeking ring and looks out in front of her eyes to find the unidentified predator that secretly hid her body. Took it

A ring with a telescopic effect shows distant objects to Monia as clearly as if she were seeing them right before her eyes.

‘There are no traces of grass being pressed or swept around, so it is not a crocodile. So is it a bear? No, the footprints were different. Then… ….’

“Ahh! Ah! Ah!”

While Monia was contemplating the identity of her predator, Ars suddenly started making noise.

“Ars, be quiet… ….”

The moment she turned her head back to tell Ars to be quiet, Monia realized that she could see something brown at the edge of her telescope’s view.

As she was hiding in the tree and turning her head, she of course realized the meaning of the reflection near her field of vision.

She was now hiding up in the tree where the predator was hiding.

How was it possible to climb a tree without leaving a trace?

How was it possible to climb a tree without making a sound?

Before thinking about such things, Monia moved her body instinctively.

Turn her star wish behind her, turn her wind arrow towards the spread as far as possible, and then fire.

Wow!

The arrow of wind focused on spreading was fired like an explosion, blowing away the branches on the tree and the predator sitting on the branch.

Monia looked at the falling predator.

Brown fur. Stripe. Bright yellow eyes. Cat face and body. And the membrane between the front and hind legs.

The identity of the predator is a flying tiger that lives on the upper level of the floating island.

It was a tiger cub that day.

How did the creatures upstairs escape the management network of the people at the top and come downstairs?

Before thinking about such things, Monia jumped from the broken branch and crossed to a nearby tree, unfolded her star wish, made it into a bow, and aimed it at the flying tiger cub.

Quickly pull and release the protest.

An invisible arrow pierced the flying tiger cub.
