Chapter 110: Survival Hero (5)
"What are you going to do with the rope?"
"We're short on water, so I need to secure some hydration."
Seeing Eom Soo-hyun tilt her head in confusion, I pointed toward the sky.
She looked up, but all she could see were trees.
"Coconuts?"
"Yeah, coconuts. Since we're here, we might as well try them at least once."
"Hmm..."
Everyone who came here probably saw the coconuts at the top of the trees and tried to get them. However, climbing a branchless palm tree with bare hands is quite a feat. It’s even harder for heroes who are used to bodies enhanced by mana.
"What are you going to do with the rope? Are you going to throw it like a cowgirl?"
"I'll show you."
I picked up the ropes we had braided together and stood up. Eom Soo-hyun followed me.
As we headed toward the beach lined with palm trees, I spotted some sturdy, well-grown coconuts that had soaked up plenty of sunlight.
Alright, the rope is strong enough.
If it snapped, it would be a disaster and a total embarrassment, so I checked it one more time. I wrapped the rope around the tree and myself, hugging the trunk, and pulled it taut.
After adjusting the length, I gripped it firmly with both hands, pressed my bare feet against the tree, and slowly began to ascend the trunk.
It had been a while, but my body remembered the movements well.
...Wait, is it weird to say my body remembers? It wasn't originally my body, after all.
Anyway, by alternating between loosening the rope to move it up and pulling it tight to climb, I made my way up the tree. Eom Soo-hyun watched, fascinated.
"It's dangerous because the fruit is heavy, so please stand back a bit."
"Okay!"
Excited at the prospect of eating coconuts, she replied brightly and moved away from the tree.
I picked out only the reasonably large fruits and dropped them down. In movies, they usually show palm trees with only one or two fruits when someone is stranded, but in reality, each tree holds quite a lot.
While I climbed back down, Eom Soo-hyun gathered the fallen coconuts.
"But aren't these really hard? Should I go borrow a knife?"
"Coconuts are seeds, so there's a spot where they split easily—right here. They say if you're skilled enough, you can open them without tools, but I don't think we're at that level yet."
I smiled and struck the spot I pointed out against a rock a few times to soften it, then used a stone knife to pry the gap open.
Eom Soo-hyun observed the process calmly until the end. When I offered to do hers, she declined, followed my lead, and skillfully cracked open her own coconut.
"Sluuurp—this is awkward to drink."
Even when she pressed her lips to the small crack, the juice just ended up dribbling down.
Watching her pull away from the coconut and wipe her chin, I pulled out the tool I had brought from the morning banquet.
"Ta-da! A triumph of civilization~"
"Isn't calling a straw a 'triumph of civilization' a bit much?"
"Hey, who cares? As long as we're enjoying ourselves."
I poked the straw into her coconut, and it instantly transformed into a drink you'd find at a resort.
I put one in mine too, and after a quick toast, we both took a sip.
"...It's sweet, but not as good as I expected."
"It can't beat sugar and chemical seasonings."
"Still, I had expectations. In survival movies, they always look so happy when they drink it because it's so delicious."
"Maybe they were just happy to find water."
"Hmm... anyway, thanks. You're really versatile. If I ever lose my mana and get stranded on a deserted island, you're the first person I'm taking with me."
"Why are you trying to make me suffer on a deserted island when I'm just minding my own business?"
We giggled as we exchanged jokes.
The drone continued to film us as we sat and chatted, so her 'villain' image had likely faded significantly. She’s talented and a good kid at heart; it was a shame she was being hated just for being hostile toward me, so this was a good turn of events.
When we returned with an armful of coconuts, Anna Gyeom, who had just returned from the Private Zone, looked surprised.
A short while later, a signal flare went up, and we headed toward the game location, proudly holding our coconuts with straws sticking out.
"Wow! Team 4 is adapting so well to the island. I thought you were tourists coming this way!"
Listening to the MC's exaggerated commentary, Eom Soo-hyun handed out the coconuts we brought to the other teams.
She was steadily stacking up 'goodwill points.'
Now you guys won't be able to do anything weird to us.
We had turned our t-shirts into makeshift pouches, but the coconuts were so large that we could only give one to each of the other seven teams. However, since everyone had been staring at the coconuts in the trees like dogs looking at a butcher shop window, they were more than grateful for even one.
"Can you see how flustered the PD is right now? Team 4 has completely lowered the survival difficulty. Aren't you adapting a little too well?"
"It's all thanks to Yeon-woo."
Eom Soo-hyun replied with a smile to the MC's comment.
It's nice that she's talking me up, but I wonder what she'll do when she meets my Master later. Once she gets close to someone, she's such a simple person that she can't even pretend to hate them properly.
Now, let's play the game.
"... ..."
Despite our grand entrance, we returned after three consecutive losses.
In a field of eight teams, losing three times in a row meant we came in dead last every single time.
After finishing the final game of the day, we returned to our shelter in silence.
I had expected this, so the blow was minimal, but Eom Soo-hyun seemed devastated after the final defeat. She was even teased by the MC for being "good at adapting but bad at games."
The second game was an obstacle course, and Anna Gyeom volunteered only to come in last.
From the third game onward, they were team games, but since it was a quiz that was easy to rig, we naturally came in last.
The final game involved moving as many torches as possible onto a wooden float in the sea. We worked hard, wading through waist-deep water to move the torches, but Anna Gyeom "accidentally" tripped and grabbed the float, sinking it.
Naturally, all the torches went out, and since it happened near the end of the game, we had no way to recover and ended up in last place.
By now, people on the internet were probably tearing her to shreds.
Im Jin-ah, seemingly annoyed that I had snatched the banquet from her in the first game, was openly ordering Anna Gyeom to sabotage us.
I wonder how she plans to handle the aftermath of this. Is her family being held hostage or something?
I stole a glance at Anna Gyeom; she was looking down with a dark expression. I couldn't tell if she was truly sorry or if it was just an act.
Whether it was because the drones were filming or she was just holding it in, Eom Soo-hyun walked in silence. The bright atmosphere we had in the morning had turned incredibly somber.
"Hey, hey. I checked the replays, but the footage of who kicked your water bottle didn't make it to the screen."
Alice, who had snuck out of the yacht, spoke while lightly kicking my cheek.
Since her presence was a secret, I pretended not to notice, and Alice continued talking to herself.
"Im Jin-ah's team is in total chaos right now. The replay of that part from yesterday disappeared, but some quick-witted kid captured it, and now it's spread all over the communities. Since yours truly did the work, don't forget our promise."
Since I couldn't react with people around, Alice found it amusing. She circled back, kicked my cheek again, and left with a giggle.
You brat, just wait until this is over.
Anyway, people had figured out that the broadcast was being manipulated. Poor Im Jin-ah was the only one who didn't know; the station people were currently doing their best to contain the situation.
I'm looking forward to seeing Im Jin-ah's reaction once we leave the island.
Before evening fell, I tried to strike up a cheerful conversation while grilling the fish we caught, but both of them were so depressed they barely responded.
Man, this won't do. I'll have to cheer them up.
Exhausted from running around during the final game, we decided to go to bed early.
Anna Gyeom fell asleep quickly, likely from fatigue, while Eom Soo-hyun was pretending to sleep.
She's secretly expecting something, isn't she?
To meet her expectations, I began to mumble in my sleep and pulled her into an embrace. Since she's on the smaller side, she fit perfectly in my arms with just one hand holding her.
Even though we were living a survival life, she smelled like fresh shampoo because she bathed every day in the Private Zone.
I felt Eom Soo-hyun flinch and freeze. I buried my nose in her green hair and waited quietly.
When I didn't move further, she began to move stealthily, checking my reaction.
Gulp—
Because the surroundings were so quiet, the sound of her swallowing was clearly audible.
The small body in my arms squirmed and turned toward me.
Because of the mana sealing, I couldn't sense my surroundings, and with my eyes closed, I didn't know exactly what she was doing.
Was she staying still because she was too scared to make the first move, even if I was the one clinging to her?
Then I, the brave one, would have to make the first move.
I tossed and turned as if talking in my sleep.
Pretending the sleeping spot was uncomfortable, I shifted my position upward, placing Eom Soo-hyun's head near my stomach.
Oops, my pants got caught on something and slipped off.
It was a mistake, so please understand.
The fact that my underwear came off too was purely a coincidence.
Since I couldn't use my abilities to know what she was doing, it was surprisingly thrilling.
Without realizing it, my cock twitched as it hardened, and I felt Eom Soo-hyun startle.
You were watching, weren't you?
I wanted to laugh, so I bit my lip and held it in.
After waiting for a moment, something wet touched my glans.
Chuuup—
Was that her tongue, or her lips moistened with saliva?
Inferring only through imagination brought a strange sense of pleasure.
The initially hesitant wetness gained confidence and slowly licked the underside of the glans.
It was her tongue. A tingle of pleasure shot down my spine.
As if tasting it, Eom Soo-hyun licked the underside of the glans several times before giving it a short kiss.
My cock was pushed past her lips as if squeezing into a narrow gap, meeting her hard teeth.
Fortunately, as soon as it touched them, she opened her mouth wider, and my cock was sucked into a mysterious cave filled with saliva.
Chururup—
Thinking the sucking sound was too loud, Eom Soo-hyun stopped moving and looked up at me.
Since she still had my cock in her mouth, when she lifted her head, the angle shifted, pressing my glans against her hard palate.
When I remained still, Eom Soo-hyun lowered her head again and sucked on my cock deliciously.
She was clumsy at fellatio, likely due to a lack of experience, but imagining how she was sucking with my eyes closed was more arousing than a skilled performance.
So this is why people use blindfolds.
I savored the pleasure provided by my imagination, enjoying Eom Soo-hyun's mouth as she appreciated my cock with her clumsy skills.
Her tongue, which had been freely teasing my stationary cock, became increasingly proactive. When she couldn't fit the whole thing in her mouth due to the awkward posture, she used her hand to stroke the rest of the shaft, providing supreme pleasure.
With her other hand, she even began to fiddle with my balls as if playing with toys. I felt like stroking her head as she worked so hard with both her mouth and hands.
Chururup, chuup— chu— chuuup—
The lewd sounds grew louder. Thinking she was getting too carried away and that I should stop her, I mumbled in my sleep and placed my hand on her fresh green hair.
She flinched and froze, then carefully pulled her mouth away from my cock and looked up at me.
After staring at me for a moment, Eom Soo-hyun took my hand, which was resting on her head, and rubbed it against her cheek.
Her puppy-like behavior was so cute that I let her be. She kissed my palm, rubbed her cheek against it again, and then swallowed my cock once more.
She couldn't show any intense movements, but I liked her clumsy fellatio as she held it in her mouth and sucked—chuuup, chuuup.
The hand that carefully stroked the shaft from the base and the massage of my balls were also satisfying.
For her, who had sucked so hard for a long time without her jaw getting tired, I gave her a gift.
Byuruk! Byururururuk! Pyuruk—
Since my hand was on her face, I could feel her cheeks bulge through my palm.
Gulp— gulp— gulp—
Unable to take it all at once, Eom Soo-hyun swallowed the semen I ejaculated into her mouth in small gulps.
My cock, acting like a cork, was still lodged in her mouth, and every time she swallowed, her tongue would undulate and rub against it.
After finally swallowing everything, she carefully pulled away, fearing she might make a sound, and licked my cock clean with her tongue.
Meticulous until the end, she slowly pulled my underwear and pants back up so as not to wake me.
Then, just like yesterday, she headed toward the Private Zone.
She shouldn't need to bathe today, and I didn't think she was just going to brush her teeth.
It was easy to guess what she was up to, so I stood up a moment later.
A bathing area? Then naturally, a situation where we "accidentally" run into each other while going for a bath has to happen.
I headed toward the Private Zone to fulfill the fantasy that women dream of.
And of course, it was my dream too.
