"Even if the Vikings are lost in an unknown place, they will definitely explore it as soon as possible!" Ollie seems to have been so 'reckless' ever since he became like this.

But this is only the appearance, and Hiero finds that behind this reckless action is a lot of experience and sophistication.

There are different steps of action in different places, different directions of action between different plants, and even the fruit picked casually must be the only fruit that does not have toxins among the poisonous fruits around.

All of this represents Ollie's abundant and sophisticated ability to survive in the wild.

However, "these plants are still eaten by Pease!" How could a Viking warrior eat something like this! Viking warriors were supposed to eat meat, large chunks of meat. ”

Hierro remembers that when Ollie was a fox, there was even a vegetable chowder made by Wiel among the things he had nothing to eat...... It was vegan, and that sticky, sour candied jam.

But now, Ollie eats nothing but meat.

But meat is not so easy to find for a few shipwrecked people...... Especially where they left, there was only one coconut tree.

Ollie walked ahead, expertly exploring the small patch of vegetation on the island.

Hierro, who had difficulty moving, sat some distance from the vegetation, closer to the sea, with a few trees that could keep out the wind.

With only two strokes, Hierro lit the thatch that Pease had picked up and made some fire next to the tree.

Since Hierro had one less leg, the original plan to swim here before dark did not come to fruition, and now it was dark and windy.

"Pease, this weather means that the wind direction is about to change, and maybe, winter is coming."

"Winter?"

"By the way, you've been coming up from the archipelago...... In winter, when everything withers and cold winds come, the sea freezes and plants wither. Even the rain that falls will form ice crystals. ”

"Sounds so cold."

"It's cold, indeed...... However, the snow is beautiful. ”

"Snow? What is it? ”

"It's the rain that freezes and falls on the ground, and it's white. Speaking of which, I haven't seen snow in a long time. ”

"Is it colder than it is now?" Pease took off his soaked clothes, wrung them out, wiped them, wrung them out again, and went to the fire to roast them.

The cold wind blowing from the dark sea as the winter moon approached gave Pease goosebumps all over his body.

"It's colder than it is now, but by then, we'll be able to walk on the surface."

"Walking on the sea? But there's no way to stand on the water. ”

"At that time, the whole surface of the water will turn into ice, and it will become a slippery ground."

"Hmm...... I'd love to see it...... But it's cold now. ”

"Closer to the fire, a little to this side."

"I envy Ollie...... As long as you shake it, there will be no water in your whole body. Pease's eyes looked at the vegetation on the side, and although he couldn't see anyone, he could only see the gentle swaying of the plants that I didn't know if it was the wind blowing or Ollie's touch.

"Pease, Ollena the Fox, how did you become like that?" Hierro also roasted his clothes by the fire, revealing a sturdy body with many scars on his body, which is why the old captain Hierro has been able to hold on to the present even if he is so old and has such a serious hand.

He ...... I didn't know, at that time, I secretly took that hat, put it on him, and then ...... He became like this, and the two of us suddenly got out of the boat and into the water. Before I met you, Ollie had been swimming with me at sea for a day. ”

Hierro looked at the scattered crystals in Pease's heart that flickered with Pease's heartbeat, slightly recovering some of the red from blue.

"Whew! Viking loot! A big tail, a big white tail came out of the vegetation, and Ollie's voice came over the silent night.

Then, I saw a flash of golden yellow against the faint light of fire, and down the tail, Ollie's two ears and head popped out.

Ollie walked to the beach and brought back the two humble leaf nets that had been placed there.

"That's the real fruit." Ollie, who came from the darkness, had a rabbit and a pheasant in his hands, and in his two net pockets were a few sea fish, and some small crab scallops.

"It's been a bumper harvest, and it looks like we'll be able to eat our fill." Hierro smiled, cut off a piece of cloth, and tied his eyes together.

"Wow~ This piece of meat is really delicious!" Ollie picked up a piece of cooked rabbit leg.

Hierro, who had eaten a little, looked at the vegetation with some strange looks...... If it weren't for the stark contrast to the barren surroundings, the vegetation could be described as 'desolate'...... There will be rabbits in there...... And pheasants?

Hierro has some ...... No, it's really hard to imagine. As soon as he thought of this, a pheasant suddenly came out of the vegetation with a cooing coo, looked at the firelight twice, and then swooped into the vegetation under Ollie's gaze.

"Okay...... Looks normal. Hierro nodded, continued to eat, and poured the coconut water into his mouth.

"Captain Hierro, where are we going next?"

"The Vikings are ready for an adventure~"

Hierro added some firewood to make the fire warmer in the night breeze.

"We need to find the ship first, and then try to rescue the High Priest."

"Where's Brother Weor? Where is he? ”

“…… I don't know where he is. "But he should be fine, trust your brother Weir, I can survive this way, he will be fine." ”

In fact, to be honest, Vere is really miserable at this point......

But Hierro couldn't say anything to Pease...... Or rather, he didn't know how to open his mouth to tell Pease what had happened to Will.

Directly to Pease, Will was tied up and thrown into the sea?

Moreover, from a certain aspect of his heart, it may be the sixth sense, and Hierro really feels that nothing big will happen to Veil, at least, everything that happened to Veel is possible until he is sure that Veil really died.

Hierro vaguely felt as if he should be the worst of them...... After all, he is just a mortal...... Hierro looked at the crystal on Pease's chest, and looked at Ollie's exaggerated gesture.

"The biggest problem we face right now, the kids, is fatigue, and we need at least one raft, and we can't get too far to swim with just two hands."

Pease glanced at Ollie, "But where are we going?" ”

"The currents in this body of water showed me which direction was best hidden, where there would be islands, and where the islands would be the largest...... I can see all these things, as long as we have a raft to walk around here. Hierro gestured with his hand to the sea behind him.

"Child, get some sleep first, and when you wake up tomorrow, I'll teach you how to recognize ocean currents."

Pease yawned, and the warmth of the flames and the tiredness of eating food crept in the middle of the night.

"Hmm...... You're right, Captain Hierro. I think I'm too sleepy......" Pease shook his head. Two steps forward, I picked up the clumps of warmed branches and thatch that had just been collected and baked by the fire, and laid a few sleeping places on the ground.

"You go to sleep first, I'll watch the fire." Hierro put on his dried clothes, rubbed some distance, and leaned against the tree behind him.

Ollie was already coiled there, "Whoa~Rested~" covered himself with his tail. Pease lay down next to it, close together, and Ollie muttered, resting his tail slightly on Ollie's.

In the warmth, Ollie fell into a deep sleep.

The night breeze blew softly, crackling the fire, and Hierro leaned to the side with his eyes closed, half-asleep.

"Make a leg out of wood and make some bamboo rafts." The pain in his eyes still came, and the hatred in Hierro's heart burned quietly, "Wolf...... Pirate. ”

"And what am I? Pirate hunters? At such an age? ......," the corners of Hierro's mouth curled quietly, "like this...... It's good. After all this, there was still a trace of flame burning in Captain Hierro's heart, just like the bonfire in front of him, although faint, but faintly burning.

Until the early morning of the next day.
