He also said many lines that were extremely cringeworthy and incredibly embarrassing.

Last night, thinking there was no hope of escape and in complete darkness, the three of them inevitably acted somewhat recklessly.

Now that they've arrived at the island and it's daytime, the three of them feel somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable recalling what happened last night.

"that……"

"Let's put on our swimsuits first."

"At least it can block the wind a little."

In the end, it was Eri Kisaki who spoke first.

Ran and Sonoko finally came to their senses and picked up their swimsuits that had been soaked in water the night before.

Although the waves couldn't reach the rubber boat, the island was still affected by the strong winds and heavy rain.

The rubber boat has shelters on one side, but the other two sides are open to the elements.

The sea breeze was howling, forcibly taking away people's body heat.

To keep warm, the three women could only huddle together.

They just didn't say anything.

Or perhaps they wanted to say something, but when their eyes met, they didn't say it.

In this quiet yet eerie atmosphere,

A series of footsteps sounded, and Izuki Karita returned.

He was carrying several plump sea fish in his left hand.

In his right hand he held a long bunch of ripe bananas that he had just picked from the tree.

On his back was a large bundle of firewood, tied with vines and knotted, hanging on Itake Karuta's shoulder.

The three women rushed over to help.

Eri Kisaki took the fish, Sonoko took the banana, and Ran Mouri, being stronger, helped unload the wood.

"Have some fruit first."

"I'll go find something else to bring back."

After finishing speaking, Izuki Shigeta turned and went into the woods without stopping.

The three women haven't eaten anything since noon yesterday.

I did eat some during the fantasy adventure, but it was a drop in the ocean compared to what I consumed.

I'm really hungry right now, so I've started eating bananas.

There are many kinds of bananas. Generally, wild bananas don't taste good, and some are even inedible.

Fortunately, the bananas on this island are an edible variety.

When Izuki Shizuta scanned the island with her divine sense, she noticed it and brought some back so that the three women could temporarily satisfy their hunger.

The long bunch of bananas had about thirty or forty bananas.

The three women each ate a quarter of the food, and tacitly left the remaining quarter for Itsuki Karita.

During this time, the crackling sound of branches falling could be heard from the direction of the woods from time to time.

Everyone was curious about what Itsuki Karita was planning to do.

Logically speaking, the most important thing to do now is to start a fire.

Not wanting to see Eri and Sonoko catch a cold,

Ran Mouri tried to start a fire by rubbing sticks together.

This primitive method of starting a fire is very simple, but quite difficult.

It requires wood to be rubbed together at high speed to produce wood chips in a semi-burnt state.

Add dry leaves to ignite.

Ran ate some fruit and wasn't so hungry anymore. She thought about helping to start the fire and doing what she could.

But soon, Ran Mouri found out why Izuki Karita wasn't in a hurry to start a fire.

The sea breeze was too strong, and the branches were quite damp, making them difficult to ignite.

"Xiao Lan, come help me."

Izuki Karuta's voice rang out.

Ran Mouri responded quickly.

Eri and Sonoko also turned to look.

All that could be seen was Izuki Karita carrying a bundle of tree trunks, each about a meter long and of varying thickness.

With his other hand, he also pulled a vine.

Karuichi Itake and Ran Mouri collaborated to bind the tree trunks with vines, creating a simple wooden wall.

The gaps between the wooden walls were temporarily filled with fresh leaves.

Place this wooden wall to the side of the makeshift shelter to block the raging sea winds.

The shelter suddenly felt much warmer.

"Mr. Yizhu is amazing!"

Ran Mouri often says this,

But I still can't help but sincerely admire it once again.

Not only did Itake Karuta find food and collect wood so quickly, but she also made planks to block the wind.

What impressed Ran Mouri even more was that the tree trunks used to make these planks had flat cross-sections.

In Izuki Karuta's hand, there was only a stone knife that didn't look very sturdy.

Ran Mouri was confident that, if she had enough strength, she could knock down a tree trunk that wasn't that thick.

However, she absolutely could not have cut down so many tree trunks in such a short time using a flimsy stone knife.

"If it's not powerful."

"How dare you say you can protect us?"

Izuki Shizuta smiled.

Although the three women had heard this sentence several times.

But only now do I truly feel the confidence and power contained within it, and my heart races.

The makeshift shelter is now shielded on three sides.

Itake Karuta began to make fire by rubbing sticks together.

However, the branches have too much moisture on their surface.

Izuki Shigeta used the stone knife, which was imbued with malevolent energy, to cut the dry tree branch in two.

Even if the surface is quite moist, the inside of the wood is still dry.

Combined with the wood shavings that Izuki Karuta had carved with a stone knife, a wisp of flame quickly appeared before their eyes.

The fire gradually ignited, finally bringing a touch of warmth to the makeshift shelter.

"I'll go and prepare the fish."

"You should also dry your swimsuits to avoid catching a cold."

Izuki Karuta picked up the fish and stone knife and went to the beach to gut it.

Ran Mouri, Eri Kisaki, and Sonoko all obediently and silently unbuttoned their swimsuits and hung them on branches next to the fire.

Three minutes later, Izuki Karuta returned with the prepared fish.

"Why didn't you say hello?"

"They came in..."

Eri Kisaki whispered.

Ran and Sonoko were also a little embarrassed.

Although the four of them had a very good relationship, and even forged a deep bond during last night's adventure,

But that was in the darkness, an illusion.

It's daytime now, it's reality.

Especially since the other two were also there...

Why are you saying hello?
