Chapter 47

 

Enoch expressed his agreement with a calm face.

 

“That would also be one of the possible causes we can speculate about. But there are many other things I can guess at besides that, making it difficult to theorize.”

 

In the end, we were back to square one again. Archbishop Luzef, who had been watching for the right timing to speak, raised his hand.

 

“In that case, it would be good for all of us to aim for finding the Escape Gate together.”

 

Everyone nodded in agreement with Archbishop Luzef’s words. They all looked clearly exhausted and worn out from fatigue.

 

Before we knew it, our vision had grown quite dark. More time had passed than we thought.

 

“Additionally, it would also be good to periodically go out to the Beach to watch for any passing ships.”

 

Prince of Asdal added his final words.

 

As someone who knew that rescue requests would be useless, this was an opinion I really wanted to discourage.

 

However, the other people who had no way of knowing this all nodded in agreement.

 

Awoooo-

 

Just then, the howling of wolves could be heard from very far away.

 

A chilling silence settled over us.

 

Everyone tensed up and looked at each other’s faces, gauging the situation.

 

“Let’s discuss the details after the sun rises. It would be best to wrap things up for today.”

 

Everyone nodded in agreement with Yuanna’s words.

 

No matter how much the Magical Beasts supposedly don’t come up near the Cabin, lighting fires at night would be dangerous.

 

In the end, everyone hurriedly tidied up and went into the Cabin.

 

* * *

 

We decided to take turns standing night watch.

 

Here, “we” refers to me, Enoch, Kaiden, and Archbishop Luzef.

 

The reason we were standing night watch was partly to prepare for attacks from Magical Beasts, but more than that, it was to prevent provocations from Yuanna’s group.

 

We were preparing to sleep by spreading Fallen Leaves on the wooden floor of the Cabin’s First Floor.

 

Kaiden, who had been coming down the stairs from the Second Floor, looked at me and pointed upward.

 

“I heard the Saint is using one of the two rooms on the Second Floor?”

 

At Kaiden’s words, Archbishop Luzef, who had been helping me spread the Fallen Leaves, let out an irritated sigh.

 

“His Highness the Prince said he would use the other one.”

 

At his words, Kaiden approached us with a deeply furrowed brow.

 

“What? Then what about our Margaret?”

 

Diego and Enoch, who had been having some conversation in the distance, looked toward us with puzzled faces.

 

I didn’t want to cause a commotion in the middle of the night, and besides, the Second Floor rooms had nothing but hard Wooden Beds anyway.

 

I understood why everyone was getting angry, but I hadn’t been unable to go to the Second Floor – I chose not to.

 

Actually, Yuanna had suggested we share the same room, but I declined because her intentions seemed impure.

 

Whatever the case, in this situation it was better to stick with our group rather than be separated from them. So I shrugged and calmed Kaiden down.

 

“It’s fine. I think it would be safer for me to sleep here. You’re here, and Enoch too, and the Bishop as well.”

 

Kaiden’s eyebrows rose and a smile spread across his lips. My words seemed to be not too bad.

 

I don’t know if Diego and Enoch heard our conversation. They soon turned their heads back and seemed busy discussing something.

 

I finished spreading all the Fallen Leaves and sat on top of them, quietly watching the two men. What are they talking about so intently?

 

“It seems like they’re sharing information about Magical Beasts.”

 

Kaiden, who had been sitting beside me with his chin propped up, watching Enoch like I was, said.

 

“Information about Magical Beasts?”

 

“It looks like those two made some kind of deal.”

 

Archbishop Luzef, who had been sitting in front of the Fireplace poking at the Firewood with a Tree Branch, also looked back at Kaiden with a curious face.

 

Kaiden narrowed his brow and listened in on Enoch and Diego’s conversation.

 

They were whispering at least a dozen steps away, so how could Kaiden hear that? Was he superhuman?

 

“It seems like Diego is reporting to the Crown Prince what he found out while staying with those people.”

 

Kaiden clicked his tongue as he finished saying that.

 

“Right, I had forgotten for a moment. That Diego is the Crown Prince Enoch’s man.”

 

I sighed and answered.

 

‘I do need to get revenge on that Woodcutter though…’

 

How could I get a reputation for having good revenge?

 

Kaiden snorted and crossed his arms while casually looking at Diego.

 

“A knight who can’t be faithful to his duties. Looking at him, it seems he’s completely fallen for the Saint. He’s saying he won’t follow the Crown Prince and will stay by the Saint’s side instead. Isn’t that bastard completely insane? What’s he going to do when we return to the Empire?”

 

That didn’t seem like something Kaiden, who had grabbed the Prince by the collar, should be saying. I sighed and shook my head, then lay down to get comfortable.

 

Kaiden grumbled for a moment, then lay down on my left side.

 

When Archbishop Luzef, who had been subtly gauging the situation, tried to lie down on my right side, Enoch appeared.

 

“Even if the spot next to Margaret appears empty, it’s not really empty. Are you coveting my spot? Do you have the confidence to handle the consequences of coveting that spot?”

 

What a difficult way to say “move.”

 

At Enoch’s sharp voice, Archbishop Luzef frowned irritably. But he sighed and obediently moved to the spot next to that.

 

I looked pitifully at Archbishop Luzef, who was lying down all hunched up, then turned over to look up at Enoch.

 

He stood there and unbuttoned his Sleeved Shirt.

 

Damn, even looking up at him from below like this, he was handsome without a trace of humiliation.

 

He slowly sat down next to me and stared down at me intently.

 

“It seems you have something to say to me.”

 

I sat up to face him.

 

“What did you talk about with Diego?”

 

At my question, I could hear even Kaiden, who had been lying behind me, rustling as he turned over.

 

Enoch sighed and rolled up his shirt sleeves, then shrugged.

 

“We exchanged information about the Magical Beasts each of us had encountered.”

 

Just as Kaiden had said.

 

“The Magical Beasts that attacked us were mainly wolves and Anaconda Magical Beasts, weren’t they? But the Magical Beasts they encountered over there were different.”

 

At Enoch’s words, Kaiden sat up and moved closer to me with an interested expression.

 

Archbishop Luzef also moved closer to Enoch and listened attentively to his words.

 

Diego, who had been far away, seemed to have heard all of our conversation, but since this level of conversation wasn’t top secret, there was no problem with sharing it.

 

Whether they did that or not, Enoch didn’t care and propped his chin with a serious expression.

 

“According to Diego, their group encountered giant tarantula-type Magical Beasts and Beast-type Magical Beasts in human form.”

 

Beast-type Magical Beasts in human form…

 

At those words, I suddenly recalled the Magical Beast I had encountered a few weeks ago while being chased by Kaiden.

 

The Beast that stood on two legs like a human and was covered entirely in fur.

 

“Rather than human form, it looked exactly like… a giant orangutan. That Magical Beast I encountered while being chased by Kaiden. That seems like the human-form Magical Beast Diego mentioned.”

 

Kaiden slapped his knee in agreement with my words.

 

“Ah, if it’s that one, I know it too. I was attacked by it. This is exactly what that bastard did.”

 

He suddenly lifted his Shirt to show the wound on his chest.

 

As he said, where I had healed him, a deep scar remained. Since he couldn’t use Mana, it would probably be difficult to erase the wound.

 

“…It seems the Magical Beasts are evolving.”

 

Enoch added after a brief silence.

 

I agreed with those words.

 

The Wolf-type Magical Beasts that had torn Enoch apart last time were definitely evolving.

 

-It’s already been four days since I entered the Underground Storage alone.

 

I still couldn’t understand the situation that had occurred just before entering the storage.

 

Just before entering the storage, I had encountered a Magical Beast. I barely managed to escape successfully, but what surprised me more than the appearance of the Magical Beast was the time when the Magical Beast appeared.

 

The sunset was setting, but the sun was definitely still up.

 

And the giant tarantula we encountered just before entering the warehouse didn’t seem to be affected by the sun.

 

It seems like

 

they’re evolving.-

 

It’s not exact, but there was definitely content like that.

 

In the novel, it says that phenomenon started around the end of volume 1. Right before Yuanna entered the bunker.

 

But we witnessed that phenomenon as soon as we arrived on the island. On the first day we woke up on the island, Enoch and I encountered monsters during sunset.

 

When I suddenly realized that fact, I couldn’t help but get goosebumps.

 

At this rate, won’t monsters start appearing even in broad daylight?

 

“We need more weapons.”

 

Kaiden furrowed his brow and muttered with a serious expression. When everyone’s attention focused on him, he shrugged and said.

 

“If the monsters are really evolving, there will be limits to dealing with them using the weapons we have now.”

 

He’s right. What we have now isn’t enough. The flare ammunition and grenades are consumables, so their numbers are limited.

 

“It would also be urgent to find the ‘door’ that matches the key before the monsters become too much to handle.”

 

“We must solve the mystery of the key.”

 

“And the mystery of the island too.”

 

Luzef and I answered in turn.

 

What exactly is the identity of this strange island?

 

It feels like only unsolved mysteries keep piling up.
