Chapter 4 – Let’s Build A Hut

Muddy water is still water.

I was able to get some hydration, but it tasted awful! Now… about the stranded elf. She was next to me, trying to vomit rainbow-colored liquid. It seems she couldn’t stomach the muddy water.

I’ll survive even if I have to drink mud water.

“…Bleh. This tastes awful.”

“It’s better than dying. By the way, Elf, what’s your name?”

“I-I’m sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I am Skor Zlonitse, washed up here from the elven nation of Borodin. I’m not much, but please take care of me.”

Skor greets by placing three fingers on the ground. She bows her head very politely, and I feel a little embarrassed. …Wait, is she really an elf? Skor is a pretty cute name, though.

…hmm?

Skor… I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before. Or maybe not. Oh well, it doesn’t matter.

“I am Rasty, the former third prince of the Empire.”

“Th-the prince of the Empire!?”

“That’s right. Do you have a problem with that?”

“No, but…former?”

“I was exiled by my darn father. But I decided to live on this ‘uninhabited island’. I’ll build the strongest nation and make my father regret it. Skor, was it? Will you help me too?”

“Eh?! Me too? But wait, Isn’t it better to escape from this uninhabited island and return to the continent? I don’t think we can survive here.”

Skor looked at me anxiously. Certainly, our current situation was unsettling. We were in a desperate situation where we couldn’t even produce enough water. But there is always hope.

In my hand.

“Don’t worry. I have the『Uninhabited Island Development』skill. Skor, with your help, I will create a more comfortable environment than a noble’s life.”

“Really?”

“I swear it.”

“Really, really?”

“Really, really.”

“Well then, shall we give it a try?”

“A try? Why? We can’t leave this uninhabited island anyway.”

“Well, you see, I’m an elf.”

“So?”

“…oh well, never mind. Then, Rasty-san, nice to meet you.”

We shook hands, and the agreement was made here. I’m lucky. I thought I would spend my whole life alone, but now I get to live on this uninhabited island with such a beautiful elf.

I’ll do my best for Skor’s sake. …Oh, I see, I can work hard if it’s for someone else.

Skor went out to procure food. She said she was going to look for nuts and fruits. I was worried about letting her go alone, but division of labor is more efficient for this kind of work. I have things I need to do too.

This time, I’m going to make a ‘hut’ instead of ‘swamp’. The sun is starting to go down, so it will be difficult if I don’t make a place to sleep. To make the hut, I need ‘wood’ and ‘stones’. It seems that I only need “10” of each, and the cost is low. I can make it right away.

As expected of the『Uninhabited Island Development』skill. It seems like making a hut is a piece of cake. Alright, let’s start collecting.
