Chapter 40 – Surviving on a Deserted Island (1)
“Nana, are you okay?”
Midsummer grabbed my sleeve and asked. Instead of the academy uniform she always wore, she wore a thin white dress and something similar to a straw hat on her head.
Just looking at it, it looked like I was going on summer vacation.
If it’s a vacation, it’s a vacation.
It’s a vacation to hell.
“It’s okay, so stop asking. I think I heard it five times.”
“But, look forward to it. Do you like me?”
“Do you really want to hear that guy’s pretty voice? Pretty. It’s so damn pretty.”
“You don’t know what. Whenever I hear the word pretty, it’s always new and thrilling.”
“I bet you would.”
Hehe….”
Midsummer covered her mouth and laughed briskly.
Seeing her wearing a cheat-key item called a straw hat in a pure white dress, she is actually pretty.
It wasn’t really a lie.
When I thought about why he was so excited, he had never been abroad before.
It’s a military transport, but you’re used to it by now.
It was said that he had never boarded a normal commercial aircraft.
In the process of evaluating the uninhabited island, it was supposed to travel by civil aircraft to Okinawa.
“Isn’t that it?”
“What?”
Midsummer tilted her head.
“You have to take off your shoes on the plane.”
Whoops—she immediately swung her fists.
Innocent attire and behavior that is not.
She lightly twisted her body to avoid it.
“Mr. Lee, why are you avoiding so well these days? What kind of fool do you know me?”
“It is the result of training.”
“I will do it too.”
“You learn your thoughts first, please.”
“No matter what, I don’t know. Can’t we just shove it all in and break it? Or by strength. You have a saying like that. With overwhelming power…!”
…I have nothing to say.
“Do not talk nonsense, since determination is essential to ascend.”
“We need a real battle, a real battle where lives come and go.”
“You sound like a real battle. Don’t even think about doing anything weird.”
“Oh, come.”
Midsummer looked somewhere and waved her hand.
A beautiful girl with silver hair, carrying a square luggage bag lightly, came out of the female dormitory area.
Nod
She made eye contact with me and bowed her head slightly in greeting. I also responded by waving her hand.
Seomun Yerin.
Even after going to her erosion zone practice together, Han Yeo-reum actively took her offensive against Seomun Ye-rin.
It seemed that they had finally succeeded in getting to know each other somewhat.
The civil aircraft we were supposed to board was at Incheon Airport.
Is it an academy-only plane?
Also, the classes are different.
To get to Incheon Airport, I decided to take the Seomun family’s car.
Before long, a luxurious limousine stopped behind Yerin Seo.
“Five…!”
[Sex.]
I couldn’t master the idea of learning properly, and in midsummer, I only became proficient in strange things.
When he was bored like that, he displayed the skill of sending her words and chatting at the same time.
[You’re going to make a big mistake at some point. Why don’t you try ‘sex’ where everyone else is?]
[It can’t be.]
She let out a small sigh and got into the limousine.
When she got on board, it looked like she was facing Yerin from the front.
[Eyes go back, eyes go back. Isn’t he pretty?]
[Noisy.]
Looking at the preface Yerin, who was sitting quietly and motionless, she didn’t look like a person, just like Midsummer had said.
It’s like looking at a well-made, pretty doll.
The unique appearance of silver red eyes also added to the sense of heterogeneity.
“Thank you for the ride. I’ve heard a lot about him, but this is the first time we’ve been together like this.”
I was the first to speak in the awkward silence.
Nod
Preface Yerin looked at me and nodded her head.
“Nice to meet you.”
And the conversation ends.
…Now I realize why Midsummer whined so much at the beginning of the dorm.
He is the type that is extremely difficult to carry on a conversation with.
“Yerin, do you want to eat this?”
Han Yeo-reum, who was already eating something next to me, held out the bag.
“Yes.”
Foreword Yerin reached into her bag of sweets with her graceful gesture, took out one of her chocolate cookies, put it in her mouth and munched.
“Do you want some iced tea?”
“Yes.”
As the two of them eagerly exchanged something and ate, the huge shape of Incheon Bridge came into sight.
“It’s a little different from what I’ve heard.”
Preface Yerin, who was staring at me blankly, opened her mouth.
“Hey, what did you say to him?”
She immediately questioned Han Yeo-reum.
“I said it like it is.”
Midsummer answered, avoiding my eyes.
Judging by that unsure tone of voice and facial expression, it was clear that he had made a lot of strange noises.
“Whatever you said, you misunderstood. He really likes exaggeration.”
“I didn’t exaggerate.”
“I didn’t. It would be obvious.”
[You just like sex with women? I was talking about something like this Are all men like that?]
…Sure of this.
Somehow Yerin, the preface, was quite mindful of her distance control.
It was as if he had described me as a color horse.
“Ehh…”
Finally, I took a deep breath and looked out the window.
The panoramic view of Incheon Airport came into view slowly.
You’re going.
All of a sudden, I felt that way.
***
When I heard it was a ‘special plane’, I thought of the small size that celebrities ride.
That alone is huge enough.
Contrary to my common sense expectations.
The plane in front of us literally boasted an outrageous size.
For some reason, this world seemed to prefer making anything big.
Well, since there are cheat-key items such as magic stones, it might be worth it.
Whether it’s a giant ship, a giant ship, or a giant airplane.
Because human romance is a huge thing since ancient times.
Even so, I think it’s a bit over the line that the only academy plane is at this level.
The biggest airplane I know of is the now gone Mriyah (An-225), but it seemed bigger than that.
“Hey, that…”
Just before boarding the plane, Midsummer whispered in my ear.
“What are you so hesitant about?”
“Is that what we ride?”
“Uh. You said it earlier.”
“Are normal planes all that big?”
“No, he is strange. Even compared to the planes next to it, there is a difference.”
Of course, there were several civil aircraft of similar size.
“It’s okay.”
[…Isn’t that a lie about shoes? Isn’t the special plane just different or something like that?]
Big.
He tried to put on a smile that came out of the moment, and put on a calm and solemn expression.
“What should I do with this innocent-minded Midsummer?”
She placed her hand on her head in midsummer and shook it lightly.
“If you keep teasing me, I will die.”
It’s not scary to see her clenching her fist like that.
[It’s a lie, so don’t worry. Even if it’s a private plane, there’s no way you can take off your shoes.]
“Ugh.”
Looking at it from the side, I wonder what these guys are talking about.
Now, it felt like I was used to being able to freely switch between chatting and conversation.
After going through the cumbersome boarding process, we boarded the plane one after another.
In an airplane with a total of two floors, the cadet area is on the second floor.
“It’s unnecessarily flashy.”
As Midsummer said, the interior was completely different from that of a regular airplane.
It feels like bringing hotel facilities and putting them inside.
Even if it was a private plane, it was seat row without exception at takeoff.
As I sat in my assigned seat, the plane took off with an announcement similar to that of a civil aircraft.
After the loud noise died down, the seat belt indicator went out, the large display in the front came on.
“As I said before, this plane will land directly at the U.S. Air Base in Kadena, Okinawa. After dividing the number of people there and receiving survival kits, we will immediately depart for the uninhabited island.”
Professor Chung Ha came out from behind and started the briefing.
“Personal items are restricted except for clothes and the like. There will be a baggage inspection before boarding the transport plane, so please be careful.”
Of course, most of the electronic devices could not be brought. Many of the high-tech items were restricted, and only lamp batteries were allowed.
“Total duration is 21 days. Any way is fine. You just have to survive until then. If you want to give up midway, you can explode the paid signal flare. In addition, if the professors judge that it is a dangerous situation, they may be eliminated immediately.”
“I have a question for you!”
One of the huge Hwangbo brothers raised his hand and shouted.
“Yes, please.”
“Is it just to survive? It looks so easy!”
Professor Chungha gently raised the corner of his mouth.
“You have to try to know whether it is easy or difficult, right? For now, fighting between cadets is prohibited.”
If it was natural, it was natural.
If he had given the energetic first year cadets a fight, there could have been deaths.
It was because it was still an immature period from the control of power.
“There are still some people who think it’s a bit lacking.”
A monster that looked like a coconut crab appeared on the display.
“This is a mutant monster called Tamatoma. It belongs to a relatively safe axis because it has a docile personality and inflicts minimal counterattack. Being herbivores, they do not see humans as prey. Of course, I’m not going to go first.”
A herbivorous monster with bloody claws.
I felt a sense of alienation because it didn’t match my appearance.
“But it is not an easy opponent. They are timid and flee at great speed before approaching, and their hard upper armor negates most attacks. Magic stones also exist in this Tamatoma. According to the number of Tamatoma Magic Stones collected, there are additional points, so those who want to challenge can try it.”
Professor Chungha, who looked at us for a moment, parted her lips with a gentle smile.
“Of course, if you can. Again, don’t overdo it. Just surviving is great enough. If you overdo it anyway, the professors will drop you out on their own.”
It was a laugh like a provocation.
When I heard the story, it seemed that there was some kind of contingency plan in case of an emergency.
“Chun Ha-yeon, please.”
After Professor Chung-ha’s briefing, she made eye contact with Cheon Ha-yeon, who was sitting next to her, and said.
“I don’t mind if it’s within my range. I can’t tell you. From what I hear, the island is too big.”
“You just have to look at it at the level you can.”
“Okay. Don’t worry. I will watch as long as I can.”
First of all, I put on one more safety device.
Slowly, the plane descended, and the emerald-colored sea began to be seen outside the window.
