Baby's performance!
Baby's performance!
Even before the era of hunting and gathering, humans already formed groups.
Because many were far more efficient than one.
It was no different for the streamers stranded on the deserted island.
The spot where Reels and Yerin had left.
A man with a sturdy build was being nagged by the two women.
"Oppa, I think you're a bit lacking in consideration."
A woman with long straight hair said in a voice full of discontent.
"Isn't it normal to ask for our opinions too? It's not like you're living alone."
"Right."
The short-haired woman next to her chimed in.
"And I don't know about Yerin-nim, but that little kid Reels looked like a complete burden. What's she doing in the party? Since she's a Hakko, there won't be any donations anyway."
"Ah...."
The man scratched the back of his head with an awkward expression.
"Sorry. I'll ask from now on."
The man outwardly apologized meekly, but inwardly he was cursing them.
'You lot are no help either. I'd rather have that little kid who eats less and shits less.'
To be honest.
So far, those two haven't lifted a single finger.
Yesterday, they couldn't build a shelter and had to sleep rough.
They whined so much about the cold.
My ears nearly bled.
'If they're going to be like this, why did they even apply for this content?'
The man's name was Kim Woong.
He was a fitness-dedicated Nutuber.
800,000 subscribers.
His main content was uploading health-related videos, and inviting female streamers to measure their big three lifts.
Surprisingly, his videos got huge views.
Provocative female streamer thumbnails and reactions.
The reliable image typical of a gym rat.
With that combination, Kim Woong became very popular.
He was acquainted with the two women he was with now through content.
But.
When they actually came to the deserted island, their personalities were complete shit.
'They really don't move at all....'
Still, Kim Woong didn't show much dissatisfaction.
That was his nature.
Women, children, and the elderly must be protected.
Men must do the harder work.
Honestly, it was a bit old-fashioned thinking.
Even though it was 2026, the deeply ingrained perceptions in society remained the same.
When he was a student, if a male student had a verbal fight with a female student.
The teachers always scolded the male student.
"You little bastard, wanna fight that bitch?"
Heavy loads were always carried by the male students.
Even as an adult entering society, those perceptions weren't much different.
That men must consider women.
Kim Woong adjusted his load in both hands and sighed.
"Let's go for now. We can't keep buying water forever. We need to find drinking water first."
The long-haired woman frowned.
"Ah... can't you just go by yourself, oppa?"
"Huh?"
"I'm really too tired. I've been walking all day since yesterday, my legs are killing me."
The short-haired woman immediately chimed in.
"Right. My skin feels like it's going to break out."
"...."
Kim Woong was speechless for a moment at their shameless attitude.
They were treating him like a Joseon-era slave.
But in reality, he was the only one moving.
'...Endure it.'
Kim Woong took a deep breath inwardly.
Fighting with women never leads to anything good.
Acting emotionally would only damage his image.
He forced a smile and said.
"It's because it's safer to move together."
"Ehh...."
"Bear with it a little longer."
The two women grumbled with displeased expressions but eventually started following.
Meanwhile, Kim Woong's patience was gradually wearing thin.

Feeling the intense gaze from behind, I reluctantly turned my head back.
Yerin was following closely behind me, her lips sticking out a few centimeters in a pout.
"Why are you sulking?"
"Ah, I'm not sulking! Who said I was? Hmph."
It was obviously a very sulky voice.
Probably because she got caught trying to launch earlier in the bamboo forest.
Anyway, she was definitely hurt.
This kind of situation is hard for me.
Even harder than surviving on a deserted island.
Because since I was young, I was more familiar with documentaries than playing with friends.
I'm not used to relationships between people.
Since she's sulking, I should apologize.
I scratched the back of my head and said.
"...I won't do that next time."
Then Yerin's protruding lips twitched slightly.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Only then did Yerin's expression relax a bit.
'She's really simple.'
Before we knew it, we had left the bamboo forest and stepped deeper into the jungle.
The scenery before us changed abruptly, and a yellow wave greeted us.
Grasses that towered over my shrunken height stretched endlessly.
A giant field of grass swaying golden in the sunlight.
It was Chinese silvergrass.
Every time the wind blew, a saaak sound rolled in like waves.
But this grass.
Contrary to its appearance, it's quite a troublesome plant.
"It'll be hard to just cross as is."
"Why?"
I lightly pulled a nearby silvergrass leaf with my finger.
Then light glinted off the edge of the leaf.
The edge of the silvergrass leaf was densely lined with fine saw-like protrusions.
It's practically at the level of a natural razor blade.
Even My Brother hated it when filming documentaries.
If you push through this grass with bare skin, you'll end up looking like a hedgehog in no time.
"Can't we just brush it aside with our hands and go?"
When Yerin casually tried to push the silvergrass with her bare hand and step forward, I immediately grabbed her wrist with a tap.
"You'll get cut."
"Huh?"
"These are really sharp."
Yerin looked startled and quickly pulled her hand back.
"For a grass, why is it so dangerous..."
"That's how nature is."
If I had a jungle machete, we could cut through the dense grass.
But we don't have one now.
It's practically impossible to cut through the silvergrass.
So we have no choice but to use another method.
I picked up a long tree branch from nearby.
And demonstrated to Yerin.
"You go like this."
Syu-euk.
Using the long stick, I push the silvergrass down.
Then I press down with my weight to keep the flattened grass from rising again.
"Do it like this and step over it."
It's much safer since the grass is pressed down and can't scratch your body.
Yerin carefully followed behind me.
"Oh... it's easier than I thought? Did you see this in a documentary too?"
"Yes."
"Just how much do you like documentaries?"
I shrugged.
Dramas and movies that couldn't happen in real life are fun, but I prefer documentaries that show reality as it is.
Please respect my taste.
Anyway, today's goal is clear.
Find a good campsite.
And make fire.
Food is a bonus if we happen to find it while looking for a campsite.
We can come back to the bamboo forest later when we have a knife.
By then, we should be able to make water containers and other things.

I'm a Kim Woong fan but this is fucking shit
I thought things would get better when they met the Reels party and joined them
But those fucking cunts
They don't help at all and just fucking play politics
Reels is 9999999 times more helpful than you guys, I swear
ㄴlol you idiot, switch to the Reels party
ㄴlol I also got cancer watching other streamers, so I'm only watching Reels now
ㄴlol Isn't that bastard Kim Woong really a boomer? There's no sucker like that sucker lol
ㄴlol (Author) : He's literally a cancer-causing character;;
ㄴlol He's gonna explode soon at this rate
ㄴlol But Kim Woong is nice though, he's been doing all the ass work alone since yesterday
ㄴlol It's not that he's nice, he's stupid
ㄴlol For real, the women caught one sucker and are just exploiting him, and since he's setting an example himself, you can't even say anything lol
ㄴlol But I envy that they have a jungle machete
ㄴlol If that went to Reels, she'd even kill a jaguar
ㄴlol You bastard, what do you think the gallery owner is, a celestial demon? To kill a jaguar with a jungle machete?
ㄴlol The gallery owner prefers solo play from the start
ㄴlol But why is she bringing Yerin along?
ㄴlol That's just picking up a stray cat, yeah
ㄴlol A female streamer with 300k subscribers became a stray cat

(Animated GIF of Reels crossing by laying down silvergrass with a tree branch)
Really amazing bb
ㄴlololololol
ㄴlol What's that now
ㄴlol She's like a real veteran, fuck, if it was me, I would have just brushed the grass aside with my hands
ㄴlol I also learned for the first time that silvergrass has those protrusions
ㄴlol I heard if that touches your skin, it's fucking painful
ㄴlol How does she know that?
ㄴlol They say the gallery owner is a documentary fangirl
ㄴlol Her unexpected charm is fucking amazing
[But seriously, she's really stubborn for not using the API until the end]
Author : YeocamLover
She's a total penny-pincher
Just buy it already lol, it's frustrating as hell
ㄴlol Are you shitting on Reels again? You fucking bastard
ㄴlol You donate and buy her a jungle machete, then
ㄴlol (YeocamLover) : Even if I donate, she won't use the API anyway
ㄴlololololololol
ㄴlol Really fucking funny
ㄴlol But Yerin is following along pretty well too
ㄴlol At first I thought she was a whiner, but she's enduring better than expected
ㄴlol Reels takes good care of her
ㄴlol It was cute how she slept in Reels' arms yesterday, it was like a mother and daughter
ㄴlol Uh-heuh uh-heuh uh-heuh uh-heuh

Saaak.
How long had we walked through the silvergrass field?
Behind me, Yerin's voice sounded almost spaced out.
"Reels."
"Yes."
"Can we find a home by today?"
"Probably."
I answered vaguely while surveying the surrounding terrain.
After passing the silvergrass field, the ground was gradually rising.
And there were more rocks.
High terrain has good drainage.
Because water flows downhill on its own.
Humidity is also relatively lower than in soil-rich terrain.
Above all, the paths for animals to approach are somewhat restricted.
I walked slowly along the rocky area.
"...Huh?"
Then I found something.
Below the rocks.
A gap big enough for one person to fit in.
A naturally formed cave.
More precisely, it was a small rock shelter.
"Oh."
My eyes lit up as I examined the inside of the cave.
The inside wasn't as deep as I expected.
But even this much would be enough to block rain and wind.
The floor was more rock than soil, so it wasn't muddy.
The entrance wasn't too wide, which looks good for blocking the night air.
We can make a door and attach it later.
Yerin also discovered the cave and opened her eyes wide belatedly.
"Wow. It's a real cave? Amazing."
I carefully went inside and looked around.
No animal traces.
No carcasses, no droppings, and the musty cave smell isn't strong.
The rock ceiling is also more stable than expected.
Almost no cracks.
There were traces of rainwater seeping in here and there, but not severe.
The feeling of finding a proper campsite candidate for the first time today.
But there was one problem.
"There are some bugs on the floor and walls."
Small bugs were wriggling here and there on the cave floor and walls.
Probably because it's the jungle, the variety of bugs is also diverse.
Yerin made a face of disgust as soon as she saw them.
"Eww."
"This is actually on the milder side."
"Where?!"
Instead of answering, I carefully put down Baby, who was in my arms, onto the floor.
"Go ahead."
Nalreum.
Baby stuck out its tongue as if it had been waiting, and immediately started moving around the cave.
And then.
Nalreum.
Ujeok.
Sagak.
It began massacring the bugs indiscriminately.
"..."
Yerin and I stared blankly at the sight of Baby slaughtering the bugs.
When a bug on the wall tried to escape,
Baby lunged like lightning and crunched it up.
Ujeok ujeok.
"Wow..."
Yerin muttered with a grossed-out face.
"He really works hard."
"On a deserted island, you have to take care of your own meals."
I nodded in satisfaction.
As expected.
Bringing Baby to the deserted island seems like a good choice.
He's better than most humans.
