Chapter 92
I hastily climbed down from Enoch’s arms and aimed the flare at the two orangutans running down the hill, pulling the trigger.
Whoosh.
Thud! Thwack!
With somewhat dull sound effects, the sides of both orangutans burst open.
I clutched my stomach for a moment and bent over. If my ribs were really broken, it would be difficult to move. But since I could move to this extent, it didn’t seem to be a serious injury.
When I raised my head again, I could see Kaiden on the hill facing three orangutans.
‘But where did Eun-ji go?’
Eun-ji, who had been wrapped around my forearm, was nowhere to be seen.
While I was frantically looking around for Eun-ji, I was startled to see flames rising from the hill and looked up.
Eun-ji was on Kaiden’s shoulder, breathing fire at the orangutan magical beasts.
Though it was a baby anaconda with no real expression, I could feel an atmosphere as if it was tremendously angry.
‘That little one has amazing mobility too?’
Archbishop Luzef, who had been watching from the hill, came running to me with a first aid kit.
“Margaret. Are you alright?”
Enoch supported me.
“What about you, Enoch? The other wolf magical beasts…”
At that moment, I discovered the corpses of wolf magical beasts piled up like a mountain in the clearing in front of the cabin.
I could see Diego checking in front of them to see if any were still alive.
“Lady Flone, are you alright?”
Archbishop Luzef examined my complexion.
“I’m not sure. Since I can move, it doesn’t seem serious… I think my ribs are cracked. It would be good to wear a waist support belt, but there’s no way to get one here, so it’s quite troublesome.”
Then the Prince of Asdal and Yuanna came down from the tree and ran to me.
“Lady Flone, are you okay?”
Young Lady, are you alright?”
I was confused to see that no one was running to help Kaiden.
“Shouldn’t you help over there? Why is everyone coming here?”
Then everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned to Kaiden, who was struggling with two orangutans on the hill.
“Lord will be… fine.”
“That’s right. He’ll handle it well on his own.”
“Don’t worry. Didn’t he say with his own mouth that he’s the greatest magician?”
The Prince of Asdal, Yuanna, and Archbishop Luzef answered in turn.
Just then, Kaiden lifted an orangutan twice his size with his monstrous strength and slammed it into the ground.
Thoom!
Once again, everyone’s attention was focused on Kaiden.
“See?”
“He’s doing well.”
“There’s nothing to worry about.”
Once again, Asdal, Yuanna, and Luzef spoke in succession. Enoch seemed uninterested in that side and was busy examining my condition.
‘Kaiden… are you perhaps being left out…?’
Luzef asked me.
“By the way, Young Lady, what is a waist support belt?”
“It’s like a band that wraps around the stomach to support the waist. I need cloth that’s a bit stiff and thick, not thin cloth…”
After hearing my words, Enoch suddenly took off his jacket and tore off the hem of the jacket with his hands. It was surprising that such a thick jacket could be torn by hand, but he didn’t hesitate to tear his precious Crown Prince uniform.
He quickly wrapped it around my waist and secured it with the pin he had used when wrapping the bandage.
“Is it okay?”
At Enoch’s gentle question, I nodded. Then he smiled softly and patted my head.
As expected, being with Enoch made me feel cared for.
“Don’t you need a painkiller?”
Luzef, who had been sitting quietly and watching the situation, asked me. I shook my head.
“I’m fine. I can bear it.”
“If it’s a cracked bone, there’s no medicine for it anyway. It would be good if we could use divine power, but for now, we have no choice but to rest and hope the bone heals well.”
Even if I went to a hospital in modern times, a doctor would probably say the same thing. I obediently nodded at Luzef’s words.
Kweeeeeek!
Kuuuuung!
Along with the horrible screams of a magical beast, a tremendous roar that shook the ground echoed.
Kaiden was crushing an orangutan magical beast with his hands in his pants pockets, standing on top of it and letting out a tired sigh.
Eun-ji was also wrapped around Kaiden’s neck and climbed on top of his head, breathing fire with a triumphant spirit.
“Isn’t that the Young Lady’s pet snake?”
“To be precise, it’s an anaconda magical beast. It’s not a pet and it’s not just a snake either.”
When Luzef asked me with a puzzled face, I answered firmly.
Eun-ji, who belatedly made eye contact with me, crawled down the hill and hovered in front of me.
I reached out my hand toward him. Then Eun-ji naturally coiled around my arm and climbed up, rubbing his face against me and acting cute.
“Good job.”
While I was gently stroking Eun-ji’s scales, Kaiden’s energetic voice could be heard.
“Margaret! Pet me too!”
Kaiden came running down the hill. Of course, he was immediately stopped by Enoch.
“It seems we need to move quickly. Has everyone packed their luggage?”
Enoch pushed Kaiden away and scanned the surroundings with an expressionless, calm face.
While Kaiden was hurling curses at Enoch, he diligently shouldered the backpack he had put down in front of the cabin. The others were also picking up their respective luggage.
“Let’s depart.”
When everything seemed to be roughly organized, Enoch said.
We all left the cabin together and headed toward the Northern Island.
“Are we going to look for supplies first, or are we going to look for the mysterious star mark first?”
“On the way to the northwest end of the Northern Island, we pass through areas where there are supplies. We’ll secure the supplies first, then head to the location with the star mark.”
Asdal faithfully answered Yuanna’s question.
Come to think of it, I think I forgot to ask about the destination because I was so distracted, but it seems Asdal and Enoch had already talked and finished setting the destination.
‘You all have your thoughts figured out, don’t you? I thought so.’
They really are more the leader type than me.
Since it seems like the northern island is our destination anyway, I’ll just quietly follow along and get another look at the bunker’s location while I’m at it.
We passed through a forest thick with mangroves. Looking at the exotic-shaped mangrove trees, I was once again reminded that this was indeed an unfamiliar island.
I walked quietly along the riverside path, glancing at the mangrove trees with their roots grotesquely protruding above the river water.
It was Enoch who broke the long silence.
“I have no idea where those magical beasts came from in such large numbers.”
I agreed with his words.
“The wolf magical beasts aren’t even native to this area. It’s strange how they gathered together as if they were cooperating with the orangutans. I naturally thought the tarantula magical beasts would be the ones to swarm us.”
If magical beasts were going to attack, I naturally assumed it would be the tarantula magical beasts.
This was the area where tarantula magical beasts lived, and if they had appeared after smelling the debris or scent of their dead companions, it would obviously be those creatures.
But contrary to expectations, what appeared were wolf magical beasts and orangutan magical beasts.
‘It was almost as if they had coordinates set for the cabin.’
As if someone had really manipulated them to attack the cabin.
“Thanks to that, we learned there are no safe zones on this island, so isn’t that fortunate? From now on, we’ll stay constantly alert, so we won’t be caught off guard.”
Archbishop Luzef quietly responded to my words. He was right, but somehow it felt sad. It meant we had to always keep our nerves on edge.
“And, Margaret. Thanks to you, I was able to use sword aura. I didn’t know magical power injection was possible from long distances.”
Then Enoch turned to look at me and expressed his gratitude. Yuanna, who had been following behind, agreed.
“I saw it too. It looked like you used an enormous amount of mana. Is it really possible to transfer mana to others from long distances?”
“What exactly is Lady Flone’s identity? Lord, tell me. Is this even possible?”
Prince of Asdal looked around at us, then asked Kaiden who was standing right behind me.
“It’s not impossible. Though someone of my level would have no problem with it, it’s difficult work that even skilled mages find burdensome.”
My shoulders perked up at Kaiden’s words, and I raised both hands in a somewhat exaggerated motion, showing off.
Everyone’s saying I’m amazing, so I should be allowed to enjoy this level of praise a bit.
“I’ve been overshadowed by the title of ‘madwoman’ all this time, but I’m actually quite remarkable.”
“To think such remarkable talent was being neglected while chasing after the Crown Prince – it’s truly lamentable.”
Prince of Asdal made a sorrowful remark in response to my answer, then turned around and began moving forward again.
“Liking me isn’t a useless thing, Margaret.”
Enoch immediately interjected.
“Margaret, I think it is a useless thing.”
Kaiden, who had been behind us, whispered in my ear. I sighed and pretended not to hear the pointless remarks as I followed Enoch forward.
Just moments ago we had nearly died from magical beasts, but now it was peaceful as if nothing had happened.
I hope we can continue solving problems like this and escape the island.
…Of course, such hopes rarely come true.

‘Was it just bruised rather than cracked?’
The pain from the injured area subsided faster than expected. If I had been seriously injured in this wilderness, there really would have been no solution, so it was incredibly fortunate.
We took breaks here and there to avoid overexertion, which meant it took us a full four days to reach the bridge leading to the northern island.
When we finally stopped in front of the suspension bridge leading to the northern island, we were quite dismayed by what we saw.
The suspension bridge Yuanna had mentioned was so rotted that it wouldn’t be surprising if it collapsed at any moment.
