Chapter Title: The Scent of the Sea
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A strong sea scent wafted through the air.
Upon arriving at the beach, the thick smell of the ocean hit us full force.
The sensation of stepping onto the piled-up sandy shore.
Even though we were stranded on a deserted island, this vibe wasn't half bad.
'Especially with a beauty like this right next to me.'
Hilde was wearing a white tee that bared her midriff over her black swimsuit, paired with short blue denim shorts.
My eyes were inevitably drawn to her explosively full breasts and her sleek thighs.
How she managed to pull off that killer figure in such limited clothing.
It was almost fascinating.
"It's been a while since I've been here."
Hilde, lost in a bit of nostalgia, looked around the beach as she spoke.
"This is where Master drew me out."
"The place where you and I first met."
She turned her head and flashed me a bright smile.
Maybe it was the sunlight, or the ocean backdrop, but she looked especially stunning today.
"I figured we'd come back someday, but I never imagined you'd show up with a harpoon and fishing rod."
Unfortunately, we weren't here just to have fun.
First priority: secure food only available from the sea.
And while we're at it, scout the terrain.
"This should help us stock up on more food!"
"Yeah, but the cave is farther away than I thought. It'd be nice to have another base around here."
"What about that hut we stayed in before?"
"The more hideouts, the better."
You never know what might pop up on this island.
We haven't spotted any yet, but new beasts or monsters wouldn't be surprising.
'This is the forest where goblins live, after all.'
Even without that, disasters like wildfires or typhoons could strike anytime.
Better safe with plenty of precautions.
"We keep all our important stuff in the inventory anyway. No need to tie ourselves to one spot if we can rough it."
"Still, I like our current place. Guess I've grown attached."
"Maybe because we put so much work into fixing it up together?"
I had to admit, I was pretty fond of our home now too.
A sturdy place with a proper roof like that isn't easy to come by here.
Plus, we finally got a bed from the gacha.
"Honestly, I'd love to just lounge there all day."
"Ah... yeah..."
I reached out and kneaded Hilde's bouncy ass.
Her breasts were incredible, of course, but the feel of this ass never got old.
"You're the one who suggested we hold off on naughty stuff for a while, Master..."
"Tch. Did I say that?"
Truth be told, I hadn't entirely given up on the idea of her in a bikini.
This was the beach, after all.
Hilde's body could outshine any Haeundae goddess.
Those jiggling tits right in front of me? Total turn-on.
'But we've got work today. Gotta hold off till tonight.'
Besides, who knew what lurked around the beach.
At least set up a hideout first, then play.
That's why I'd told her to wear something practical instead of a swimsuit.
"But who's the one getting me all hot without even wearing a swimsuit?"
"Eek... That's not my fault..."
I buried my face in Hilde's nape and kissed her collarbone.
When I pulled away, a red lipstick mark remained.
Regrettable, but this would have to do for now.
"Anyway, let's scout the beach and secure some food."
I shook off the regret and pulled a wooden plank from my inventory.
It was beat-up and worn, but the writing on it was still legible.
The quest was to complete this map.
I planned to use it to gauge the rough layout nearby.
'No surveying tools or compass yet. It'll be kid stuff, but worth a shot.'
I'd already sketched a quick pencil outline from the cave to here.
Refine it bit by bit like this.
"Just in case, keep a weapon ready?"
"Understood."
Hilde nodded and gripped the Valkyrie Spear.
A silver-haired beauty in modern clothes wielding a weapon straight out of a fantasy novel.
Sexy, yet reassuring.
'She's come a long way since I first woke up on this beach.'
We followed the beach for now.
Me sketching the terrain, Hilde scanning the surroundings.
She pointed toward the ocean.
"Ah, Master. Isn't that seaweed floating out there?"
"Seaweed? Nice to see it."
Seaweed's pretty nutritious.
High in calcium and iron—great for blood loss.
No wonder new moms get seaweed soup.
Issue was cooking it on a deserted island.
'Only ever had it in soup.'
The absence of a pot stung again.
But we couldn't be picky with ingredients.
"Hilde, can you grab some?"
"Yes!"
She scooped it up easily with the spear and her hands.
A decent haul.
"Wow, a plant from the sea?"
"Technically brown algae, but..."
"Huh?"
"Never mind, sorry. You don't need to know that."
Too much trivia for an otherworld ex-princess.
"Definitely edible, so it'll help."
"Never seen it back home. Mind if I taste?"
"Raw like that—"
"Eek... so salty..."
"...Yeah, just salt. Gotta rinse it first."
Scrape off the salt crust and dry it, right?
Even I didn't know the full process.
Gonna be a hassle prepping it.
Perfect timing for the survival quest pop-up.
'Forest quests for ingredients were drying up lately.'
Coming to the sea was the right call.
"We found one of the exact foods I wanted today. Good job."
"Hehe."
I reached out and stroked Hilde's hair.
"Master, you made the harpoon and rod for once—maybe try them out? We've walked a good bit."
"Yeah? Don't wanna stray too far."
Glancing back, we'd covered some distance.
I was still mapping the area.
Get lost, and it's game over.
My sketch was still crude: streams, forest, and now the shoreline.
'Map-making takes time—better take it slow.'
Wonder how they made such precise ones.
Respect, Teacher Kim Jeong-ho.
"Let's walk a bit more, then hunt together."
Main goal here: scout new sea foods.
Confirm what we can get from the ocean.
"Depending, maybe relocate the house here."
"After today, the beach doesn't sound bad. The waves are nice."
The sea breeze whipped Hilde's silver hair.
After scouting more, we got to hunting.
Spearing fish was trickier than expected.
Found a few small crabs instead.
'Great for broth. Too bad no pot... Nah, stop that thought.'
Fishing went better.
Ate sashimi right there.
"Mmm~ So fresh! This is sashimi?"
"Different from grilled."
Chogochujang would've perfected it, but can't have everything.
Next cast hooked a squid.
Environment changes, so do the critters.
Solid new ingredients in one day.
Perfect timing—goblin meat was running low.
"Wow~ Quite a haul."
"Fishing panned out—lucky."
Didn't expect much from crude gear.
Untouched nature makes it easy?
Hunting wasn't tough.
"Sun's still up. Back to the cave?"
"Nah, wanna stay another night. Make a temporary shelter like last time."
As I spoke, I groped Hilde's massive tits.
"Feels like a rare chance to enjoy more."
"Ahhng! Hnng! M-Master... Slower... Hngh!"
Flesh slapping against flesh echoed across the beach, mingled with Hilde's moans.
Sex on the beach with a bombshell in a sexy swimsuit.
What could top this ocean event?
"Haa, ahh! Master's cock... Feels harder and rougher today..."
"You're just too damn hot like this."
Hilde wore the black bikini from last gacha.
I'd shoved the fabric aside without removing it.
Her huge tits, barely contained, bounced wildly.
'Already monstrous rack. Bikini makes 'em look even bigger.'
Pink nipples thrust defiantly from those milk bags.
Pinch one, and her pussy clenched hard.
"Aaaahng! I-I'm cumming... again... Hyaaah!"
Who knew how many orgasms now.
Love juices dripped onto the sand with every thrust.
"Hng... Came... but you keep going... You said we'd work hard today... And I did... so hard..."
"Swimsuit's too cute."
"That excuse again... Hnng! Ahng! Ah, still talking... Aaaaah!"
After making her cum a few more times, I creampied her.
Hilde passed out, limp as a ragdoll.
Arms and legs splayed powerless on the ground.
Twitching faintly, no sign of getting up.
'My stamina's improved too.'
Island life paying off?
Body felt different—stronger.
Golden Finger's insight into her weak spots helped, sure.
'Glad we came to the beach.'
Too busy in society for sea trips.
Now banging a silver-haired stunner here? Surreal.
'If I'd stayed at the company, none of this. Just stress and comparisons. In that light, this life's not bad.'
I fondled Hilde's ass beside me.
Semen leaked from her pussy with each squeeze.
Meeting our team leader from back in society, Team Leader Shin Seom-hwa, would happen the next day.
