Chapter 94 – Clean Up

“It saved me the trouble of going to find it.”

I know very well the feeling of being upset when a shift is delayed.
However, you cannot leave the workplace at will. Because this could put your life at risk.

“Uh? Uh? You–“

The man who finds me stops on the spot and starts stumbling around.
A stranger I’ve never seen came out of their hideout. I didn’t know how to judge me like that, so I had a brain freeze.

I approached the man without a word. With a spear in one hand.

“Uh! Ugh!”

In the end, the man must have concluded that I was an enemy, so he turned around and ran away.
Is the Mate Che in your hand a foam? He doesn’t seem to have any intention of fighting back.

“After.”

If you don’t want to fight, I’m comfortable.
Instead of chasing the man, I took aim with the crossbow strapped to my waist.

There was no need to align the vitals. The important thing is to hit it once and stop the movement.
It was much slower than the beast, so it wasn’t difficult to aim.
I aimed at the man’s large torso and fired a bolt.

-Fuck!

“Cheak!”

The bolt that flew in a straight line pierced the man——the back of his left knee.

… I was definitely aiming for the torso. Umm…
Should I just say that I was aiming for the bridge so that I couldn’t escape from the beginning?

“Ah! Aww!”

A man who fell and rolled on the grass floor due to the inertia of running as hard as he could.

“My legs! My legs!”

Then, grabbing his knees and clamoring. His pants, which had been pierced by a bolt, were stained red.
I approached the man slowly.

“Oh, don’t come! Do not come!”

Seeing my approach, the man got up again and started running away.
However, it was not easy to even walk with the crossbow bolts stuck in the legs. He fell and lost his weapon.

“Sah, save me! Help me!”

The man, who was limping away, raised his hands and begged for his life.

I didn’t answer. Just slowly close the distance.
Despair fell on the man’s face when he saw my reaction.

“Help me! Please, please, just your life!”

Of course, I had no intention of saving him.
I didn’t even want to share a long story. That would only consume my mind.

-Hook.

It was easy to kill a human who neither ran away nor resisted. More than hunting a rabbit.
I finished the third man plainly.

“After.”

This was all the survivors displayed on the terminal.
Three adult men. One little girl
The woman was a woman in a pit house and four people in a tree house.
That’s a total of 9 people.

“Jinyoung! Jinyoung!”

Before I could return, one of the women in the treehouse ran out.

The woman I met when I first entered the tree house, wearing only panties.
Her handcuffs were not visible and she was wearing a T-shirt over her panties.

“Mom!”
“Jinyoung!”

Hearing the voice, the boy in the dugout also ran out.
It seems that this woman was the child’s mother.

“Are these all survivors?”

I approached the mother and her son who were sharing a thrilling reunion and asked.

“Oh, oh, over there.”

The woman hurriedly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and looked toward her hut where her son had emerged.

“Um, there’s a woman over there…”
“Ah.”

You mean the woman tied up with tape?
So this seems to be all right.

“But why is there only one male?”
“Ah…”

The problem was that.
Originally, there should have been a pair of male and female partners.
This group consisted of 4 men and 5 women.

“We were originally, that, a different team…”

The woman was flustered and stammered, but slowly told the story.

She landed on this island one day, and so did she and her son.
Not knowing why, she somehow formed a group by joining other survivors nearby.

She was an early survivor group of three men and three women, including her and her son.
They didn’t know anything about how to survive on the island, and they soon suffered from hunger, and started to move around in search of food.

“And then… Because I met these people…”

Then they run into another group of survivors.
Two men and two women.

Naturally, her party intended to join forces with the new group of survivors, but the other group didn’t.
Armed with deadly weapons, they attacked and brutally killed the man who served as the group’s leader.

“So one man died, and another?”
“… It’s the man who died in bed. I immediately became their subordinate… He even gave his own brother as a slave to them.”

Did she sacrifice her sister to live for herself? She must have been a precious family before she came here.
You must have played with the system of this island. There must be such a case.

There were three men in her initial group.
However, one of them was killed as a child, an adult was killed first, and the other was attached to the other group. The fate of the women left behind could be known without having to listen.

“Excuse me… Thank you for saving me!”

The woman bowed deeply and bowed.
Is it… After all, she must have saved this.
The woman’s eyes, with her head lowered, were shining as if expecting something from her.

The men are all dead, and only the woman and child remain. In a way, it was natural for them to think that I, who defeated the villains and saved the women, would take responsibility and protect them from now on.

But I couldn’t afford that.

“I didn’t save you.”
“… Yes?”
“I only got rid of those who would pose a threat to me, not to save you guys.”

If there had been a mother here, she might have asked everyone to go together, no matter the gains or losses.

But it shouldn’t be.
I had no intention of increasing the load any more, nor did I intend to increase the number of women.

You might be able to temporarily earn more coins by hooking up with a new girl.
But if it wasn’t a one-time relationship, there were more losses than gains.

Above all, the three women who live together now are miraculously balanced. If a new woman was added to this, it was obvious that the balance would collapse in an instant and new problems would arise.

“How shameless!!”

──Yes. Like now.

The loud voice came from inside the tree house. Maybe it was a fight between women.
Just then, a half-naked woman came out of the treehouse.

“Ah! Hey!”

The woman found me and ran straight toward me. She was barefoot without even her shoes on.

“That woman! That woman is on the same side as the men! Do what the men tell you to do, and do that to us!”

The woman who came running pointed to the other woman who had come out at the door of the tree house and shouted.
Whether her words were true or not, the woman in front of her door hung her head down without saying a word.

“So?”

I asked harshly.
Then the woman who ran up hesitated as if embarrassed.

“That… So… I-that woman is on the other side too…”
“Since you’re on the other side, you want me to kill you?”

Perhaps reading the disturbing atmosphere in my tone, the woman shut her mouth.
I’m glad you seem to have a minimum of notice.

“I hope you don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to rescue you. There was an obstacle during reconnaissance, so I just removed it. I have no intention of killing even a woman or child who does not resist.”

In other words, I would kill anyone who stood in my way or resisted, even if it was a woman or a child.

“Of course, it would be a different story if it interfered with me in this way.”

I didn’t like the idea that he would use me to kill a girl he didn’t like.

“Hip!”

As I waved her spear threateningly, the woman freaked out and backed away.

“If you want to kill, kill yourself. Do you have any weapons?”

Even at this place, a large mateche is falling away. There should be any number of weapons in the house.
But the woman who had been complaining about her didn’t move.
Maybe she doesn’t want to get her hands dirty, or maybe she’s afraid of killing someone.

“Here, they decide whether to kill or save each other. I’ve finished my business, so I’ll go now.”

As soon as she thought she had passed the challenge, her strength drained away.
Her body was more tired than she thought. She wanted to go home quickly.
Ah. I miss you mom.

“Me, please take us too!”

It was Jinyoung’s mother who approached with such an appeal.

“I, if I can, I will do whatever you ask me to do. Please take us with you.”

What she meant was clear.
Although he couldn’t openly say it in front of his young son, it meant that he would sell himself. In the first place, in a place like this, there is only such a thing that an ordinary woman can do.

I looked at the mother of such a child.

She was objectively a high score woman. Her breasts are quite large, and her fleshy body must be a pleasure to hold.
She looks so young it’s hard to believe she has a child in elementary school. Even so, her will to protect her son was clearly visible. It was her mother’s face.

“If you will, take me too!”

The second woman boldly intervened, perhaps feeling something when I looked at her baby’s mother.

“No, I won’t ask you to take me. At least let me repay you for saving me.”

Even though she had been threatened by me once before, she was a woman who did not give up and pushed forward.
Unlike the grown-up mother, this one looks like a college student. Her tall, slender body had her face set quite well.

She could understand her confident demeanor as much as her appearance. At least she’s not falling for her mother. With her reciprocation as an excuse, she might be thinking that once she slept with me, she could get me on her side.

“I do not need.”

But I refused.
The reason I looked at this child’s mother wasn’t because I had other intentions. It was just because the mother who was waiting at the hideout and this hat overlapped.

If I had come here at that age, my mom might have gone through the same thing as this kid’s mom. Such a bitter impression flashed through her mind for a moment.

But that too has now been shaken off.

“I don’t need both.”

I rejected the two women again.
