Chapter 213 – Important Decision
*
Two days have passed since the night of heavy rain.
It had been raining a little until last night, but now in the morning, the sun was shining as if it had never been so. It was truly changeable weather.
“How much sunlight has this been!”
Seunghee stretches as hard as she can under the sun.
Armpits that wanted to be licked were visible from the side of the sleeveless tee.
“I’m going to go for a walk with Leo.”
“Don’t go too far.”
“Yes. “I will only go where I can see it.”
Kaylee took Leo on a marathon called a walk.
Leo, who was stuck inside the house because of the rain, got excited and started running after Kaylee. It seemed like Kaylee was also feeling stuffy, and her expression seemed to shine today.
-Piiiii-
As soon as she let out her chirp, she flew up into the sky, fluttering her silver feathers.
He flies, so you don’t have to worry, right? Now that it is close to her adult body, I thought it would be okay to just release it outside and raise it.
“Mom, do you need anything too?”
“No. It’s okay.”
Her mother was smiling at her as if she enjoyed just looking at her.
For some reason, even I, who was next to me, felt relieved.
“Ah! Squeak! “Don’t go into the water!”
-Beep!
The pig chick had an accident again today.
After entering the muddy water with stagnant rainwater, his entire body became covered in mud.
“Oh my. What are you going to do if you get sick? Come out quickly.”
-Beep beep beep!
Seunghee calls you to come out of the muddy water.
However, instead of coming out of the muddy water, Piyak shook himself off by flapping his short wings.
“Wow!”
Thanks to this, muddy water was splashed on Seunghee as well.
“You bleep!”
-Biyaak!
Seunghee, whose temper is so bad, grabs Piyak and hugs her.
But since Piyak was already covered in mud, Seunghee’s clothes were bound to get even more dirty.
“Ugh. “What are you doing?”
So, I was giggling and laughing at the idiots playing, and my mom was smiling leisurely when she saw me like that.
Ah. It’s peaceful.
It would be nice if this kind of peace continued.
“Mom.”
“Huh?”
But I couldn’t just be complacent.
I had to make the choice to end this peace myself.
“I’m going to go out later.”
“Where? “Is it dangerous?”
“It may be a little dangerous, or it may not.”
“…”
Mom’s face hardens.
I’ve tried my best not to worry my mom, but I’m sure she guesses it to some extent. That I’m out there doing dangerous things.
“I won’t do anything dangerous and will just scout the surrounding area. If there is any danger, I will run away immediately.”
My tongue got longer for no reason.
It bothered her that her mother didn’t say anything.
My mother looked at me seriously, as if she sensed something from my attitude.
“Changjae.”
And then my mom holds my hand.
I hold her hand every day, but today it felt surprisingly fragile.
“Do you have to go? “Can’t we just hide at home together?”
“That…”
The rules of survival of mankind that have been passed down from primitive times.
Men hunt and women guard the home. In this way, a family is maintained and survives for generations.
However, this was not the exact story on this island.
That’s because there are coins.
There was no problem with men living even if they did not go hunting. Just by lying around with the women at home, food and other daily necessities come naturally.
“… “No.”
However, we should not settle for this life.
I said, gently taking her mother’s hand away.
“I told you before, right? There is a large group of survivors in the north. And I am interacting with it.”
I didn’t go into detail, but my mom knew roughly.
“It’s devastated right now because of the rain.”
To say the least, the situation in that neighborhood was so bad that it made my mouth hurt.
All the tents were washed away and the crops they had grown were submerged in water and rotted.
It seems that they had been pinning their hopes on field farming, but the situation was hopeless as the farming had failed. In addition, a creature attacked and injured people, and if you make a mistake, someone could die. There is no longer any guarantee that the safe area is safe from wild animals.
I told my mother that story in detail.
As the story progressed, her mother’s expression became increasingly worried.
“The scariest thing is that this is just the beginning.”
Fortunately, we didn’t suffer any damage from the rain, but there was no guarantee that it would be okay next time.
What if it rains more than this time?
What if there is an earthquake instead of rain?
What if the volcano erupts? What if a tsunami comes?
This island is completely disconnected from the real world. It was not strange even if an unimaginable natural disaster occurred. There was a non-zero chance that a meteorite would fall and destroy this world tomorrow.
And it was obvious that it would become more and more dangerous in the next 30 or 40 days.
“So we have to find a way to escape before that happens.”
Find a way to escape.
Even if you say it that way, it’s only vague.
I couldn’t even guess where and how to escape.
The first way to think of it is to reveal the entire map.
There must be a clue somewhere on this island. And the most likely location was the ‘Black Zone’, painted in black on the map.
“Because it’s obvious that life will become more difficult as the days go by. “I will try to find it as soon as possible when I can.”
“Does Changjae really have to go there?”
“Mom.”
“I heard there are a lot of people there. You don’t necessarily have to find it. Or we can all work together to find it.”
I think of the survivors there.
Is there anyone else who can do it besides me?
No. I could definitely say that there was absolutely nothing.
I shook my head and said.
“There are a lot of people there, but most of them are women. The few men there are only children or old people. Even if you try to help, it’s obvious that it will only end up holding you back.”
I don’t ask for much. I was fortunate that they were able to live safely while I was away.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I will never do anything dangerous and come back. “When have you seen me lie?”
“You just lie.”
My mother’s expression barely relaxed at my joking words.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to force it. You know? “Mom, she can’t survive without Changjae.”
“I know. “You’re saying that because you’re worried about me.”
“Even if you do go, don’t go to places that are too dangerous. If you think it’s dangerous, you have to come back right away. Absolutely.”
Every time I leave my hideout, I worry about what might happen to my house.
How much worse would my mother be? If I had been in the opposite position, I might have tied her mother up inside her house and not allowed her to go out.
“Ah. Yes. “I got a good idea, Mom.”
“Huh? “What is it?”
“If you collect 10,000 coins, you can bring back a dead person. So, if I save 10,000 in advance, I can rest assured that if I die, her mother can revive me, right?”
“Hey! “What are you saying such scary things?!”
Huh? Isn’t this it?
I thought it was a good idea, but my mom was freaked out.
“Don’t say things so casually, like you can save me even if I die. “Mom absolutely hates that.”
“All right. I won’t say anything from now on. “I’m sorry, Mom.”
I apologized honestly.
I don’t know for sure, but I think my mom doesn’t want me to come back from the dead.
“Still, Mom.”
“… “Why?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to save up through insurance first? I don’t plan on dying either, but I might get really unlucky and something goes wrong.”
“…”
If you think about it, excluding the emotional part, there was nothing bad about having a resurrection coin.
No, it was absolutely essential.
“… That’s right.”
“Is that so?”
Fortunately, my mom seems to understand.
“Still, you shouldn’t think that dying is okay just because you can be resurrected. Because I can be resurrected, it’s okay to be a bit risky, and I think Changjae will do more dangerous things for no reason.”
“No way. It’s not like that.”
Honestly, I can’t guarantee that it will never happen.
I’ll probably make it clear.
But I couldn’t be honest with my mom.
“How difficult is it to collect 10,000 coins? “I will never die.”
“This guy. That’s not what it’s about.”
“Anyway, I won’t do anything dangerous even if it’s a waste of 10,000 coins. Never, Mom.”
“… “Can I believe that?”
“Of course. Look into my eyes. Are these the eyes of a liar?”
What can I say? Even though it’s an annoying story, it warms my heart.
I felt like my mom was more worried about me than myself.
To be honest, I didn’t think it was okay to die because I could be resurrected with just a coin.
But my mom didn’t like that either. For some reason, I was happy.
“Okay then, Mom. “I’m going to have to use some effort to collect 10,000 coins, right?”
I said, hugging her mom from behind.
Mom asked as if she was embarrassed.
“You said you were going to leave later? What should I do if I lose my strength now?”
“That is that and this is this. “If I collect 10,000 coins before I leave, won’t Mom be safe?”
“… “Can I collect it from now on?”
“If mom cooperates.”
Gently massage her breasts over her clothes.
Hmm. Her mother’s tits touching her outdoors are also special. She also has spectators.
Swoosh. Her hand, which was massaging her breast, crawls down like a snake and heads towards her mother’s lower body.
As the level of behavior gradually increased, the mother also began to panic.
“You can’t go outside, Changjae. If you’re going to do it, let’s go inside and do it. Huh?”
“You have to do it where you can see Kaylee. What if something happens?”
“Still… Ah!”
“No one is watching anyway, so what’s the point? It’s okay.”
In fact, it wasn’t that no one was watching.
Seunghee, who was playing with Piyak in the mud nearby, saw us and made a sarcastic comment.
“Ugh. They’re starting again. Anyway, I can’t stop you. “Beep, you can’t look.”
-Beep.
“Ugh…”
He seemed even more embarrassed because his mother heard that voice too.
“Han Seunghee. It’s your turn next, so I’m waiting.”
“Joy. Who did it? It’s so weird.”
And I know she’s looking forward to it.
It would be perfect to do it with Seunghee after Mom, and then with Kaylee who returned.
… But when are we going to go scouting like this?
I’m sure I’ll be exhausted after dealing with all three women.
Wouldn’t it be better to just start tomorrow?
My plan, which was a major decision, was in trouble from the first day.
