After Seo Kang-rim defeated the pig, he started walking somewhere carrying its corpse.
Choi Sang-won said urgently.
“Does that matter? Let’s make a surprise attack!”
“Hmm… … . Even if we attack Seogangrim, it seems like there won’t be any food… … .”
“What does that mean?”
“Why would you take the body? And after selling us a large amount of food?”
Only after hearing those words did Choi Sang-won seem to understand what the scout meant.
He chuckled.
“Are you trying to eat the devil? How stupid… .”
If they could eat demon water, Choi Sang-won and his party would not have starved so much.
When they ran out of food, they tried to hunt and eat demons, but failed.
“I guess you still don’t know that the demons in this area are poisonous.”
The moment Choi Sang-won and his party took a bite of the demon’s meat, their mouths became numb and they collapsed.
If it weren’t for the antidote I had bought in advance, I might have died there.
I managed to decipher it with great difficulty, but I haven’t been able to touch the demon since.
“It looks like they sold the food with the intention of catching the demon and eating it. Then, they’ll soon run out of food too.”
Choi Sang-won muttered like that and then got up from his seat.
He had a faint smile on his face.
‘I want to beat him up to vent my anger, but… … it’d be more satisfying to see him collapse from addiction.’
There was still some antidote left.
If Seo Kang-rim doesn’t have the antidote, he can sell it for a high price and get back everything he took.
What if Seo Kang-rim has an antidote?
Even so, there was no problem.
Since Seo Kang-rim would have no food anyway, he could just resell the dry goods at a higher price.
“That’s fine for now. Let’s just wait until the bastard gets his hands on it and passes out.”
Everyone nodded at Choi Sang-won’s instructions.
In the meantime, the scout spoke up.
“Excuse me, while I wait, would it be okay if I went to the orchard?”
“In the orchard? To get your tongue pulled out?”
“No, that’s not it… … But since Seo Kang-rim killed quite a few people, wouldn’t the security have been lax?”
Although I felt uneasy, I missed the scent of fruit that had just wafted from right in front of my nose.
It was a scent that could not be satisfied with dry ingredients.
“Okay. Let’s go first. You two will watch over Seo Kang-rim, and the rest of you will go to the orchard with me.”
“Mr. Choi Sang-won too?”
“Is there a problem?”
“Oh, no… … .”
Choi Sang-won was the best at not going to dangerous places, but this time the story was a little different.
What if they pick the fruit, eat it all, and then lie and say they didn’t get any?
Choi Sang-won followed the people, fearing that they might steal the fruit.
As they slowly approached the orchard, the monkeys were nowhere to be seen.
All you can see are the corpses of monkeys lying around, dead and broken.
Choi Sang-won spoke to the people.
“I’ll stay here and watch the net, so go and pick some berries.”
“yes yes…….”
After glancing at Choi Sang-won with eyes that said, ‘Then that’s right, then,’ the people slowly entered the orchard.
Choi Sang-won looked around nervously, wondering if a monkey might come.
Meanwhile, people began to carefully climb up the tree and pick the fruit.
One person looked surprised.
“uh?”
I couldn’t figure out what he saw that made him so surprised.
They picked several fruits and hurriedly returned to Choi Sang-won.
“Mr. Choi Sang-won, look at this!”
“What? What’s going on?”
Choi Sang-won was just anxious at the thought of eating the fruit.
The moment he snatched the fruit away, Choi Sang-won also looked surprised.
“Huh… …? What is this?”
* * *
As I put down the pig I was carrying on the ground, the floor shook with a thud.
Father John looked terrified at the sight.
“Ah, brother. You’re here… … . Huh, what on earth is that?”
Unlike regular pigs, the earthen pig had large horns and a ferocious appearance.
I sat down nearby and said.
“It’s a pig that lives around here. Did everything go smoothly while I was out?”
“Yes. My brother came home late, so I was thinking about going to look for him.”
I went to pick peaches and got tangled up with Choi Sang-won and his party, so I ended up being a little late.
Well, I made some money thanks to it, so I have no complaints.
While I was checking my watch, Father John was looking around at the pig in front of the tent.

“A dirt pig… … But why did you bring it here?”
“I have a place to write.”
The egg in my arms was now in a state of chaos, crying out for food.
Even though I fed him frost-ripened fruit from the orchard, he still didn’t seem to be satisfied.
Before dismantling the pig, it seemed like it would be a priority to appease this guy first.
I glanced at Father John and said.
“Father, I’m thinking of dismantling that demon… … . I don’t mind, but would you mind taking a look?”
“No! I’ll stay inside!”
Father John went into the tent with a pale face.
As for me, the fact that he was timid and weak-willed made him easier to deal with in many ways.
After Father John went inside, I took the egg out of my bosom.
-Tick tock tock!
As I took the peach out from the water, the little guy started devouring it eagerly.
[The earth attribute of ‘???’s Egg’ increases by 0.5%.]
[Growth Status: 62.5%]
The unknown egg has now grown to a growth rate of over 60%.
It also seemed to have grown slightly larger than when I first saw it.
When I held it in my hand, it felt like I could feel a heartbeat inside.
I could hear the gods chatter in excitement.
【Wow, Al, I’ll wake up soon!】
【I wonder what will hatch.】
【Want to bet on what will come out?】
【Okay. I bet 1000 Yeong-ok on the Imugi hatching.】
【I have 1000 Yeong-ok in Samjok-o!】
The names of many spirits poured out from the mouths of the gods.
Everyone got excited and the amount they were calling for started to increase.
【2000 Yeongok!】
【3000!】
【5000 Yeong-ok!】
【Hey, is Yeong-ok there?】
It was funny to see them excitedly wondering what would come out.
Meanwhile, Al was protesting for more food.
-Tick tock tock!
It seemed like he wanted to eat the pig in front of him.
I pushed the egg away with my hand as it was about to rush in.
“No. This isn’t yours.”
But the unknown egg, which could not understand what was being said, cried out for food.
If this continues, I’ll have my meat taken away.
After I put the eggs back in the nest, I cut the pig into an appropriate size and put it in the sink for the time being.
I’ll have to deal with it later.
After I finished cleaning up the surroundings, I called Father John over.
“Father, let’s eat first.”
“Oh, yes! I’ll be there soon!”
Father John came out rustling around inside and holding something.
He said with a pleased smile, his arms full of dry goods.
“I brought a lot just in case, so that’s fortunate. This amount is enough for the two of us… … Yes?”
After Father John came out, he looked down at the food on the floor.
On the cloth spread on the floor, the food I had bought was spread out in an array.
Samgyetang, ginseng stew, five-colored dumplings, and Sipjeondaebotang, all filled with the scent of medicinal herbs…
Because it had been stored in the low tide zone, it was still warm.
Father John was so surprised that he dropped the bundle he was holding.
“Tongue, brother, what the heck is this… … ?”
“I brought these just in case.”
To Choi Sang-won and his party, they only sold the dry goods they had brought for emergency purposes.
All the foods that had ability-boosting effects were left behind.
There might have been a way to sell these foods at a higher price, but first, Father John had to be fed well.
He had a lot to do here.
I picked up the item he had dropped.
“I like that dry food. I will enjoy it.”
“No, it’s just a little bit… …! I’ll eat that!”
“No. Your Majesty is not in good health, so you must eat well. Then, you will be able to help me when I am in danger.”
“but…….”
Father John hesitated, so I tried to persuade him a few more times, and he eventually nodded.
He sat down on the cloth hesitantly.
“Then I will eat well, brother. Thank you very much.”
Father John made the sign of the cross and said a short prayer.
He hesitated, then carefully put the food in front of him into his mouth.
My eyes widened at the sight of it looking delicious.
The taste was good, but other things were more important.
“It’s really delicious. I never thought I’d be able to eat food like this here… … Plus, it also has a magic recovery effect!”
“Yes. The food sold at restaurants has special effects.”
[‘Johann Richter’s’ magic power recovery speed increases by 5%.]
[‘Johann Richter’s’ magic power recovery amount increases by 5%.]
[‘Johann Richter’s’ maximum magic power temporarily increases by 10%.]
Before Father John’s eyes, messages appeared saying that the speed of magic recovery had increased or that the amount of magic recovery had increased.
It was worth paying a high price for it.
While he was eating diligently, I also took a bite of a chicken leg and opened my mouth.
“Father, there is something you must be careful about in this magic realm.”
Father John, who was eating his food in a hurry, suddenly raised his head.
He asked with great nervousness.
“Oh, yes. What should I pay attention to?”
“Watch out for people. This time, there will be people from other districts here, not ours.”
The people we meet this time are from District 1.
I heard that in my previous life, there was a big conflict between Areas 1 and 2, and people fought more often than demons.
Even though there wasn’t a killer like in the last district, the conflict was more intense than last time.
I heard that they fought each other to the death, but I couldn’t figure out how it got to that point.
I heard that the fight probably happened because of the first raid reward… … .
Whatever the reason, people had to be wary.
Especially people like Father John had to be more careful with people.
Because I tend to trust people easily, there was a risk that I could be easily deceived.
“There was a lot of conflict with other districts in the last Demon Realm. It’ll be similar this time, so be careful if you see someone you don’t know.”
“Oh, yes. I understand.”
“First of all, since it’s the first day, let’s rest for now. It’ll get harder from tomorrow.”
Father John nodded with a nervous expression.
After we finished dinner like that, we went into the tent.
I thought it was a good idea to buy the tent because it was more comfortable than I thought.
And so the first night on the deserted island deepened.
A chilly wind was blowing outside.
Father John was fast asleep.
I too was lying down with my eyes closed.
I opened my eyes when I felt a presence outside.
… … They finally came.
