Episode 14: The Poison of the Island

"A little more to the right...... ah, just move on"

"What do you say?"

"Oh, I picked it!

Take the fruit that Dia lived in the tree, shouldered by Elmer.

Red and round fruit. Similar to apples sold in stores. But when I cracked it and checked inside, it was packed with bright red pulp. Try it and you'll get exquisite teeth and a fullness.

This is also now a smaller number of fruits.

But if you look through the woods, there are many.

According to Elmer's knowledge, there is no poison, but he doesn't say anything without looking into it. I check the poison reaction properly [Labyrinth Magic: Poison Appraisal] before eating.

"Oh, delicious."

I've had a decent lunch, but I can't stop when I mouth the delicious stuff that builds up in my belly.

"I've never eaten before."

"The nuts that were in the bushes earlier were delicious as fruit, but this one can be enjoyed as a meal"

To this point Elmer also notices the nuts that were growing in the great bushes. The nuts are also smaller in number. Because the moment I cracked it, the fruit juice overflowed and attracted people.

I had no idea about the nut.

I pretended to know when I found the nuts and when I found the fruit as an adult possession.

but that was also near the limit.

Neither the nuts nor the fruits responded in [Labyrinth Magic: Appraisal].

"What's coming out next?

"Fun"

Elmer and Dia moving on with cheerfulness.

The bags they carry are already packed with tons of material, and this alone will make you a few days' worth of money. I can't help but be happy for Elmer, who works as an adventurer.

On the other hand, we were about to be crushed by anxiety.

'What are you really going to do!?

"Don't come out with anything unusual anymore."

Isla and Noel are at war.

Every time I find something, I see it with an envious eye. Respected parents know and deserve it. Besides, it might teach you how to use it and how to increase its value you don't know.

I was full of such expectations.

Unfortunately, I cannot live up to expectations. We don't even know Melissa or Illis, so there's no way we can tell.

'What to do......'

The only salvation is that there is Ira.

Thanks to her presence, my absolute trust in us is unwavering.

"No -"

That's enough material collection.

"Stop."

Tell Elmer and Dia to stop.

Even if we were both in the process of collecting valuable materials, it doesn't change us to being warriors. Follow orders from me, who are superior to me, in an instant.

That way, figure out what's going on and figure out what to do.

When you both make sure I'm looking at the right side, I look in the back of the woods to get an idea of what's going on. That way, the next time I clear my ears, I hear people running footsteps, and I realize I hear voices calling toward this one.

"Ooooooooo"

The person in the back of the woods was waving desperately.

I want you to realize that I have thoughts about it, but I wanted to appeal to you that I was as harmless as that.

Three figures emerged from the back of the forest.

Running the lead was a man equipped with a knife and light armor, something mild and able to run ahead of the two running behind. Behind it was a brunette young man with a shield and sword, and a magnificent man equipped with an axe on his back further behind it was running.

It's a different party than the adventurer we were supposed to meet, but it's a shame we ran into adventurers here.

The topic can be diverted from sampling.

"Well, that's a new face."

"Yes, I am."

"Right. If you've come to this' island ', there are a few things to note…"

Among the three, the leader seems to be a man with an axe, but he was draining significantly of his strength because of his heavy gear, and he was constantly breathing when he came in front of him.

Remove the water bottle from the storage ring and give it to three people.

"Help!"

When I try to take it away and hold the water bottle, I put my mouth on it.

I handed the water bottle to both of them because I looked envious of the way the two non-leaders drank the water.

"Don't you have to be so hasty? You can drink as much water as you want."

The sound of the water flow can be heard from behind the forest.

Now, I haven't confirmed the details because I didn't need to go that far, but it shouldn't be the kind of place where I have trouble with water.

But the leader kicks my word.

"Stop it. The water here is rotten by the place... no, I'd rather that one be poisoned or something"

"Poison!?

"It's the third day I've been on this island. That day, we were meeting up with the party we were coming to, and we were exploring the island. But as soon as I drank the water from the fountain I stopped for a break, they fell."

The adventurer, who was exhausted in his exploration, mouthed the water of the fountain with the momentum that jumped the moment he found it.

Originally, even if you find beautiful water, you shouldn't easily mouth the water you find in an unknown place. If you smell water that you have no problem drinking, you must use your skills to check and tease.

But at that time they were tired of the hedges after being walked around in the woods scattered due to their 'island' characteristics, and had not enough leeway to be alert.

That's how I mouthed the poisonous water.

Later on, the three of us chased each other, all we could do was watch the rendezvous party go down.

"That was a really stupid imitation. Sometimes it was okay to drink the fountain that was somewhere else and my guard was loose."

"Was I? That was a disaster."

He would also be hungry because he seemed thirsty.

Hand over the fruit you just got.

"You idiot!

The moment I saw the fruit, my leader yelled at me.

"You just said it!

"What is it?

"I wouldn't be able to easily get what's on this' island 'though! Eating what looks like only that fruit has left my people wandering the border between life and death."

You remember that time. The man who was running the lead holds his belly and squatts.

"Nevertheless, we also started eating the stuff on the 'island' because we ran out of preserved food. I can't talk about people. But if you have a preserved meal, you should use your own food."

People can't beat hunger.

They were also familiar with the dangers of mouthing what was on the ground, and at first they were trying to endure just the preserved food they brought in. But when life on the 'island' lasted for days… decades, it became intolerable and got my hands on local food.

I guess they were eating carefully too. But I ate too much to keep up with the deliciousness.

"Did you say this to the center?

…… Yeah, it was so delicious at first, I ate it all up. "

The cause is there.

"This fruit. There's poison in the center."

"What!?

"So if you just talk outside, you can eat it."

Poisonous parts can also be eaten if properly handled. However, the tools and materials on hand alone cannot be handled in a way that does not rely on magic, so I try to bring them back.

"Were you..."

All three are depressed.

After I found out it was poisonous, I tried not to say anything, even if I found it. It would have been a terrible regret to have to miss the hungry but delicious food in front of you.

"You knew me well."

I can turn an impressive eye.

They thought I knew about the poison.

"Hey... that's not it"

It was Elmer who knew.

I was studying what not to speak of as an adventurer, and how to deal with it appropriately. Many people make it a priority to make money, so few adventurers use the materials room, but Elmer's knowledge of what he was studying in the materials room is surprisingly... quite helpful.

"Please eat this"

"But..."

For once, I hesitated to eat because I thought it was poisonous, so I hesitated to teach them how to eat properly.

So get the sandwich out of the storage ring. It's a juicy sandwich with meat caught between it.

"Ooh!"

"Eat this and restore your strength"

"Are you sure?

"There's something I'd like you to tell me instead"
