Chapter 1: Falling into trouble!

At a glance is the endless blue ocean, surrounded by white sand beaches and several tall coconut trees. Hua Mu is no stranger to such scenes. She often goes to beautiful islands for holidays, and owns several small islands.

However, this is not a vacation. She knew her current situation very well, and summed it in a word: castaway.

It seems that the violent storm and rain happened not too long ago, is like a dream, now the sun is in the sky and the sea is calm.

She has also experienced big winds and waves. Will her father find her and regret for not paying enough attention to her on weekdays? If this kind of experience is bragged to those big ladies, will it become a pretty good topic?

Hua Mu doesn’t have any survival skills, and the biggest reason why she can sit comfortably in a cool place and think about her life is that she isn’t the only one living on this deserted island.

“Miss.” A tall young woman with short, shiny black hair, sharp eyes, has stereotyped uninterested expression. She jumped down from the coconut tree, with a few coconuts on her body, and looked very ridiculous.

This Sentinel named Bai Zhen is her bodyguard. She said she was her bodyguard, but they were not very close. After the initial curiosity passed, she’s quickly annoyed by the woman’s old-fashioned and silence. But she has to say that in this case, the excellent sentry did give her a great sense of security.

Hua Mu was already dying of thirst, and said impatiently: “Hurry up, my throat is smoking.”

Bai Zhen hesitated for a while, and finally walked to the side to find a reef and took out the saber from the waist bag to help the lady open the coconut.

Hua Mu is actually very uncomfortable all over her body. The skirt that was soaked in sea water has not dried yet, and it sticks to the skin and hurts fiercely. When the ship sank and was washed up on the beach, she bumped into things. At this time, she felt that her body was about to fall apart.

But the more immediate need is that she really wants to drink water … or coconut water.

Bai Zhen deserves to be an excellent sentinel. Although the sharp short knife in her hand is small, she opened a coconut in two or three shots.

“Miss.”

This wild coconut is different from Hua Mu’s usual beverages. It’s looks more ugly. But she couldn’t care less, and she wanted to drink it after taking it from Bai Zhen.

“What about the straw?”

“There isn’t……”

There is a finger-sized hole in the coconut. No straw means that she has to drink her mouth towards this hole … This is too detrimental to the image of a lady.

Actually, in this situation, Hua Mu can’t really demand so much. It was only the attitude of the Bai Zhen that made her really angry, so she wanted to make things difficult for her.

Miss, Miss, is how she keeps calling her on weekdays. Other than that, it seems like a waste of saying more than one word to her. It’s loke she will die, eh, will she die if she comforts her more?

“I don’t want to drink it like this, I want to drink using straws.” She couldn’t believe that in such a situation, she made such an unreasonable request and Bai Zhen could fulfil it.

She watched Bai Zhen think for a second or two and she turned away.

Could Bai Zhen really make a straw for her?

Even she feels that this requirement is too much. Is this Bai Zhen dumb?

Soon, Bai Zhen is back. She held a semi-dried plant stalk in her hand, with traces of dredging in the middle.

“Here.”

Please use this.

Hua Mu felt a little more at ease, glanced at the Bai Zhen, she didn’t make a fuss of it anymore, and took a coconut in her hand.

This beach is not big, it is a few hundred meters from one end to the other, and then it is blocked by various reef cliffs. There are several coconut trees growing solitary on the beach. After Hua Mu drank a coconut, all the coconuts on it have been picked by Bai Zhen.

Hua Mu was counting while drinking, and she found out that she can drink more than a dozen coconuts. She thinks that death is not a big deal.

“I want more.” Staring at fifteen coconuts, Hua Mu felt that it was not too much to drink one more. And this coconut water is pitiful, one is not enough.

Bai Zhen didn’t say anything. Soon she helped her open the second coconut, and when Hua Mu was drinking, Bai Zhen collected a pile of dark stones and put a giant SOS symbol on the beach. Hua Mu has always known that Bai Zhen’s physical fitness is very good, but she still marvels at how clean and neat she is.

Hua Mu finished drinking the second one and beckoned to let her handle the third one herself.

“Miss, if you drink too much, you will have diarrhea.” Bai Zhen didn’t promise her this time, “I will open the coconut, please eat some coconut flesh.”

These coconuts are obviously in the state of green coconut, and the pulp should be quite delicious. Hua Mu thought about it for a while, and looked at Bai Zhen who opened the coconut shell with a knife and stone, and asked her: “When will the rescuers come?”

The short knife in the hand of the Bai Zhen was really sharp. It was clasped on the previously opened hole. By knocking the stone to the knife handle, a hard coconut was broken slowly.[1]

“It is impossible to determine at the moment, but we have to plan for the worst.”

“What is the worst plan? One day? Two days? Or one week?” Hua Mu felt that her maximum endurance period was one week. Now that she had passed half a day, she couldn’t stand it anymore.

She look at Bai Zhen who handed the coconut shell over.

Bai Zhen glanced at her, “At least one month.”

Hua Mu’s hand shook, and dropped the coconut. Fortunately, the Bai Zhen responded quickly and caught it.

“One month? Are you kidding me? You said that this island is a deserted island, there’s nothing, we’ll live here for a month?”

What Bai Zhen did not say is that one month is the most conservative estimation.

Miss has quarrelled with the Duke and ran from the island of Niels with only a few guards for a vacation, she’s basically running away from home. In addition, this is her temporary intention to go out to sea, she was heading towards the “sea monster circle” with few people, and now it is a problem if anyone finds out that they are missing.

“I will guarantee your safety.” Before Hua Mu woke up, she had roughly observed the island with her spiritual body. The area is not too small and should be able to guarantee the survival of the two.

“Not this problem!” Hua Mu felt like she’s going crazy. “Even if you can solve the problem of eating, what should I wear? Where do I sleep? There is no AC nor internet here!”

What Miss has wanted was indeed beyond her reach. Bai Zhen was quite guilty and said: “If it is an air conditioner, my spiritual body may be able to help you, but the Internet …”

The spiritual body of the Bai Zhen is an ice wolf, which may have some cooling effect.

Hua Mu especially wants to get mad. Having good education really doesn’t play any role in the face of this old-fashioned guard.

It is useless to be angry, it will only make you angrier.

After getting back, no matter what Father and the Queen said, she must dismiss her immediately.

“… I remember you are carrying a satellite locator? Is there no way to inform the tower?” As the only daughter of the Duke’s family, the second heir to the throne, she should have a lot of common sense.

The sentry specially sent by Tari to protect her will definitely carry that kind of thing, no matter how unhappy she is.

“This is inside the shipwreck circle, and there is no satellite signal.”

Hua Mu’s heart sank.

Bai Zhen’s overly calm face gave her the wrong message, and thought that someone would save her as soon as possible. And now she realizes that she is really in trouble.

Footnote:

[1] Basically Bai Zhen is using stone as hammer and knife as nail.

XWT: Ahhhhh ahhhh ahhh “Sou Nan Desu ka?” Aka “Are You Lost?” Is my favourite deserted island survival anime/manga. I’m so happy I found this novel!

Ah yeah, Bai Zhen referred to Hua Mu as Da Xiaojie. I think the phrase First Miss is a mouthful, so she’s being referred as Miss.
