“A survivor?”
“My ship wrecked, and I ended up here.”
I hadn't given Hilde the full details.
'She trusted me blindly from the start, so I never felt the need.'
But I couldn't forget the outside world myself.
At the very least, she deserved the bare minimum explanation.
“My company team and I were heading overseas. There must've been hundreds of people on that ship.”
“That's... incredible.”
“Then the ship went down, I blacked out, and woke up here. It's a miracle in itself, so I figured I was the only survivor... but apparently not.”
The goblin I'd found before had a smartphone hanging around its neck.
No way some goblin intern picked it up.
It had to be something it scavenged from the uninhabited island.
“Smartphones usually sink in the water. High chance it washed up in someone's pocket and came ashore together.”
“Then the goblin must've found that person along with the smart... phone(?).”
“Exactly.”
Of course, this was just speculation.
The person might've simply been swept away by a strong wave.
“So, Master wants to rescue that person?”
“Nah, they're probably already dead.”
If it was a man, the goblins would've killed him on the spot.
If a woman, they'd have raped her first, then killed her.
'Even if they dragged her off as a plaything... goblins don't exactly keep their toys well-fed.'
After being tossed by the sea, her body wouldn't be in good shape anyway.
Going without even a sip of water while enduring a gangbang from goblins? No woman's body could take that.
“Still, just in case, I want to check it out. It means there might be other survivors, after all.”
I had to wipe out the goblins anyway—for the quest and for safety.
Finding a human corpse in the process would just feel off.
“But if you're asking if it's worth risking our lives... nah, it's not.”
Sure, I'm human enough to want to save lives if possible.
But I had no intention of putting myself and Hilde in danger for it.
'The risks outweigh the gains.'
That's why I'd pushed it aside and kept it secret.
But Hilde had already picked up on it.
“Hmm, I see?”
Hilde pondered, still naked and nestled against me.
Then she spoke up.
“In that case, let's go check it out.”
“What?”
“It's bothering you anyway, right, Master?”
Hilde pushed herself up and straddled me.
Looking up at her body from below was pure fantasy.
She flashed a playful, cat-like grin and poked my nose with her finger.
“And if I weren't here, you'd have gone anyway, risks and all, right?”
“That... might be true.”
Loneliness is a poison that kills people.
One famous castaway even made a volleyball his friend.
'I had Hilde from the start, so I was fine.'
If the gacha had failed, I might've charged in based on a tiny clue.
“Then let's go.”
“You sure?”
“Honestly... I hate how you're thinking about someone else even while we're doing it.”
I'd never do that, but maybe that's how she felt.
A woman's intuition is scary.
“Fine. But we go fully prepared.”
I had plenty to do anyway.
I wanted to set traps in the opposite direction too, if possible.
We weren't even ready to fight yet.
“And we'll take it slow and careful. Got it?”
“Yes, that's your call, Master.”
I'd planned to forget about the goblins for a while.
Who knew it'd turn out like this?
'Did the quest predict something like this?'
▶ Goblin Extermination
You were interrupted by goblins at a crucial moment. For revenge, and to secure safety on this uninhabited island! Exterminate the nearby goblins. Rewards scale with extermination level.
🎁 Reward: Unknown
An event quest with unknown rewards.
But it was the first one demanding direct monster hunting.
Had to be better than anything before.
“Anyway...”
Hilde whispered seductively, still straddling me.
'Whoa, she's squeezing tight.'
The walls of her pussy clamped down on my dick again.
“We're already naked, and you're still inside me. Mind if we go a few more rounds?”
Hilde's eyes were already glazed with lust.
Her breathing ragged, face flushed red.
'She's completely switched on.'
Maybe because I'd stayed inside her, or this riding position.
She was visibly insanely aroused.
“Haa... haa.”
Right now, she'd probably pounce even if I tried to stop her.
“It might get... a bit... intense... but since it's you, Master, it's fine, right?”
Hilde slammed her hips down fast.
Paang! Paang!
The sound of flesh slapping echoed with her fiery movements.
“Haak! Haak! Yes! Master's huge cock is stabbing the deepest spot...!”
Like that, Hilde shook her hips wildly, blowing away all my worries.
Hilde came three times in a row before finally washing up and falling asleep.
****
The next day, we got even busier.
First, we scouted the opposite direction from yesterday and set more traps.
There was a rabbit warren nearby, so rabbit hunting was a success again.
A fish had impaled itself on the stakes in the stream.
“I've been thinking since yesterday, but you're really good at butchering animals, Master. Even handling fish yourself.”
“This was my job back in society.”
Compared to monsters, animals like rabbits were easy.
Gut them, skin them, separate the meat.
But my deft knife work seemed amazing to Hilde.
'In the company, I was just Labor Unit A.'
I wondered if any of my teammates survived.
The thought flashed, then I shook it off.
No time for useless worries when we were so busy.
'Not sure how to use these yet, so better store them well.'
Rabbit hides, bones, bird feathers, even fish bones.
All tucked into inventory.
No immediate plans, but useful for crafting tools.
“Lunch will be that fish dish you wanted, Hilde?”
“Hehe, you remembered.”
Cooking just meant grilling over fire.
But with Golden Finger, even that turned out great.
Fresh fish tasted amazing on its own.
'Sucks it's freshwater, can't eat it sashimi-style. A pot would expand our options.'
Should I churn top Korean history scores to make patterned pottery?
Wait, that was more for coastal sites?
While lost in thought, the fish finished cooking.
I handed one over, and Hilde took a big bite.
“Mmm~ Crispy outside, delicious!”
“Once we make a fishing rod, let's try ocean fishing. Sashimi would be great.”
“Sashimi?”
Hilde tilted her head, munching the grilled fish happily.
“What kind of fish is that?”
“Not a specific fish—it's thinly sliced raw fish. Never had it?”
“First time hearing about it.”
Hilde seemed surprisingly inexperienced with foods.
'No, sashimi's rare in the West, huh.'
I recalled eating sashimi in Italy once—the bill made my jaw drop.
If those ladies hadn't covered it, I'd have been an overseas refugee.
“Fresh-caught sashimi is out of this world. I'll make some for you later.”
“Hehe. Looking forward to it, since you're great at cooking too, Master.”
Bellies full, we dove back into work.
“Master, is this height good?”
“Hmm... A bit higher? We're smoking the meat with smoke, not direct fire.”
“Got it!”
I'd decided to smoke the butchered meat.
Best way to store food safely right now.
We had pepper, but saving it for later.
'Veggies spoil faster than meat. Nutritionally, meat's superior.'
For now, eat greens, mushrooms, fruits same day.
Smoke the excess meat for storage.
“So we'll smoke every hunt from now on?”
“Not always, but often. Raising livestock or farming would be ideal, but not yet.”
Having surplus food on a deserted island was impressive enough.
No telling how long it'd last.
That's why we smoked diligently.
“Guess I'll craft too.”
I sat while Hilde tended the smoke.
Not to slack off, of course.
“Hmm, not the best results.”
Still better than bare hands.
Stone or blade, swinging weapons kill.
Break a pot over something alive, and it dies.
“Never know what'll happen in combat. Make what we can while we have materials.”
Plenty of materials, easy to carry in inventory.
As I kept crafting weapons from stone and wood—
-Ding!
“A trait this time.”
Boosted tool crafting success rate, too.
Perfect, since I planned to make all sorts of stuff.
'Huh, my hands do feel faster.'
And so, from food to weapons.
We fully prepared for daily safety and the goblin assault.
“Alright! Time for gacha.”
“Yay~ Points finally maxed out.”
We sat side by side by the campfire.
Experienced with gacha, but today felt special.
'Equipment Gacha, no less. 1000P per pull.'
Enough for ten General Gachas.
A bit wasteful, but long-term investment.
“But you already have a sword, Master. Pulling more?”
“Yeah, it's good, but...”
My first pull, 'Adol.'
Solid C-Grade weapon.
“One weapon feels unreliable.”
“I see.”
“Plus, I want a good one for you too.”
Pure combat power? Hilde outdid me.
'She'll be the main force in the goblin raid.'
Bare hands were okay, but weapons were essential for real fights.
Damage and reach made a difference.
“For me, that much...”
“Can't guarantee good pulls since it's gacha.”
I had 2200P now.
Decent, but only two Equipment Gachas.
'Pricey, but that means worth it.'
Couldn't send Hilde into battle with just a stone axe.
Deep breath, then I hit Equipment Gacha decisively.
“D-Grade item this time?”
Valkyrie in the name, but just a replica.
Fine as long as it functioned as a spear.
'Mostly buffs. Not direct like Adol's, but solid performance.'
In a way, exactly what we needed now.
“You know how to use a spear?”
“Yes! Imperial Martial Arts includes spear techniques.”
Hilde took the spear and swung it lightly.
Impressively flashy skill.
'Good, works fine for her.'
Random pulls meant using what we got anyway.
“Thank you! I love this weapon.”
Hilde seemed pleased, so success.
“Your turn with the remaining points?”
“Eh? We got a weapon already, another pull?”
“That's why we saved them. Want to be fully prepped.”
Armor would be nice.
A gun would be god-tier.
“If I may.”
Hilde cautiously hit the button.
.........Heh~
Hilde glanced back and forth between the gloves and my crotch.
I could guess why, but still.
“Master, you still have stamina left, right?”
