Chapter 2

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

After deciding on what to do with the rabbit, I looked around lightly as originally planned.

As I looked around my mind went “What is this place!” again. Moreover, it may be stronger and more intense than when I saw the trees a while ago.

I wonder why I was upset about it, but when I walked a certain distance, I felt a strong sense of crisis and my legs wouldn’t do as I say, as if saying, “I definitely don’t want to go there!”

If you go in a different direction, your legs would feel better, but if you go in the opposite direction for a certain distance, you will fall into the same feeling and you will not be able to proceed.

It seems like I am trapped by something.

That was the only conclusion I came up with.

Trees that grow as if they were maintained by someone. A space where you can never go after a certain distance. No matter how you think about it, those are not natural. If not, what the heck is this place! I concluded with my theory.

“But in front is the sea, and if you go left or right, after a certain distance, I would be blocked by an invisible wall … Is it because of the trees?”

This is a story that makes me feel at ease in a sense. After all, there are no people other than the trees!

If anyone is here … I‘ll have to be among the crowds of people in an enclosed space. Well, it’ll be the beginning of days that will be called hell for me.

However, the fact that there is no one means that you have to do something by yourself, and it is also a fact that work efficiency will be worse.

I think it would have been easier if there were three or four people other than me, who was within my tolerance, with me on the island.

However, even if they are there, it is a different matter whether they can communicate and cooperate with each other.

“Depending on the person you work with, the efficiency might turn worse … I mean, there are only few people who work well with me.”

When it comes to that, it might be the best to stay alone. However, it’s not possible to change my situation now.

So let’s continue my search again.

“The next place to go is in the forest…”

The deeper I go into the forest, the more danger I am in.

I don’t even know what kind of creatures there are. There might be beehives, snakes, and the rabbit from before, but I can’t eliminate the case that there is stray dogs or bears.

In such a place, where the visibility is limited, it will be too difficult for me, a high school student with no hunting skills.

However, it is also true that there is nothing we can do without investigating the forest.

If I stay in the beach, it’s unclear if I can survive, let alone return home.

It’s true that there are coconuts here, so you won’t have any problems with food right away, but … No, I might get hungry if I only eat coconuts, don’t you? When it comes to that, I definitely need to eat other foods.

I wonder if I can eat the coconut core as well. The Heart of Palm … I think it was inside the palm buds.

There are bamboos here, so there will be bamboo shoots. Given that, there shouldn’t be any problem with dietary fiber? Is it necessary to eat egg as well?

“But I don’t have the skills to hunt rabbits, and I don’t know how to dismantle them in the first place.”

I only know how to handle fish, and since there is a sea, it may be possible to secure fish by fishing.

Still, I want to eat meat … but what do I do?

“Hmm … like this, setting up a trap for animals? If you make something with bamboo, and put it in the rabbit’s way …”

Bamboo could be also made into cages for fish. What you get is not a lot, but what about the bait?

No, if you dig up on the beach, there is a high possibility that there will be some insects hidden underneath.

Securing food or exploring! Which one should be prioritized?

Is it securing food or searching in trees? …… Ah, is it necessary to create a base for the time being?

“Making a base … There are enough trees and bamboo, so it may be possible to do something, surprisingly.”

I don’t want to sleep on the ground as much as possible. Lying on the ground can be said to be life-threatening.

Anyway, lying down on the ground means sleeping in the same land as the insects … Well, if there are scorpions or fire ants.

A base will be necessary to reduce the risk as much as possible.

“Making a hammock and smoking mugwort should reduce the risk.”

(Tl: Mugwort’s a plant, when you burn it it’s like an incense.)

At worst, I’ll do something about it. But if it’s true, I want to make a place with a roof … but there is no way I can manage to build it in a day.

The best thing is that there is a cave that is not occupied, and I wish I could build a base in it, but I can’t see any caves from here.

Maybe there’s some in the trees, but I’m scared. Who would go through this forest without any preparations?

“At least I have to make something that can be used as a weapon.”

It’s difficult to accomplish something with just a simple bamboo spear. If possible, I would like to make something more powerful.

Moreover, I have to walk through the gaps between the trees … The reach of a spear is too long.

“Do I collect stones for the time being? I can use it later for other things.”

If you collect stones of various sizes, there should be many things you can make with them.

At worst, just throwing a stone could be a weapon. So, there is no loss in collecting it. At the same time, I should also collect branches. Branches are necessary to ignite a fire.

I use the place where the flag was set up as a collection point, and pile up stones and branches there.

And while I’m working, what are the other people that was on the bus doing? I wondered.

I can’t be the only one who was transported here. I am certainly not in a position where I could see the bus, but I think it’s better to conclude that everyone was thrown apart rather than just me being thrown out because it’s such a mysterious space.

If so, they’re definitely somewhere in this area … I might even encounter them somewhere…

Fold the branches snap.

If I encounter someone, what kind of distance and relationship will I have with them?

Neutral? Hostile? Friendship? Personally, I want to go Neutral.

Press the branches and fold them.

“Yeah, it’s still a hypothetical story. Now it’s time to create a place that is as safe as possible.”

Shelving the idea for the time being.

Whether I’m lucky or unlucky, I’m alone here, and I can’t go to the left or right beaches because there is an invisible wall on the way. So, I shouldn’t be able to meet anyone right now.

“Currently, my goal is to create a place where I can spend the night safely and then food gathering?”

I don’t know when rescue will come.

So here, it is best to act with the ultimate goal of survival.
