Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Setting Home
After eating and taking some rest, we are walking straight in the jungle. I am walking at the front while the Beastmans are following me in a line behind.
[Where are you taking them?] Aries asked.
"I know a good place for living. I saw it during clearing monsters from the island," I replied.
"And anyway, Aries, can you tell me about this disease?" I said.
[I apprised her deeply and found out that it's not completely a disease,] Aries replied.
"Huh? What does that mean?" I asked.
[It looks like that is a part of her,] Aries spoke.
"H..huh?" I was confused by what she was saying.
[For example, you are a flower, and you have roots that are a part of you as a flower. Just like that, the disease on her is a part of her soul. This doesn't have a name, but if we need to call it something, then we can call it 'Existence Cancer,'] Aries said.
"Existence Cancer…" I said in a small voice.
[When two people in deep love in this world have sexual contact, they are connected with each other from the soul. And as the male releases sperm inside his partner, they combine their bond and soul together to create a baby. It's a normal thing, but sometimes that soul might not be connected properly or strong enough to live. That can cause Existence Cancer—it will slowly kill the person and remove them from existence. The chance of this happening is very, very low, but when it does, there is no cure,] Aries said.
"Huh… so that means…," I said.
[Yes, we can't save her,] Aries said.
"But Shein is just 16…," I said.
[Her fate is to die, so all we can do is let her live her remaining life,] Aries said.
"I see… I didn't tell them earlier because I thought they would panic. I was thinking of a way to cure her, but…" I said.
After walking for a while, we finally reached the place I was taking them. It was above the ground, and from there, we could clearly see the sky and the beach. There were many big trees, and the land was filled with dirt. It was big enough to fit everyone easily.
Everyone was looking around in surprise. Then suddenly, a man screamed.
"Guys, look over here!!!"
People went to that place, and he pointed a little down. When people looked there, they saw a big lake with very clear and beautiful water. People started rushing towards it and began drinking the water.
"Tasty!!!!"
"This water is very good!!!!?"
"Woww!!!!"
"This water wasn't this clean last time I saw it," I said.
[Indeed, when you went underground to the place of the Heart of the Island, it sucked your mana, and it's spreading in the island, making it more livable,] Aries replied.
"I see, that's good," I replied.
Then I heard some noise from the side. I turned around and saw people building tents and campfires. From behind, the old man came and called me.
"Lady Sumi."
I turned around and looked at him.
"We need your permission to cut trees from here so we can build our house and furniture," he said.
"Oh yeah, right, they can't live in tents forever," I said.
I used my vines and wrote on the ground.
"Sure, you can use them as you want."
He read it and replied, "Thank you very much, Lady Sumi."
He turned around and was about to walk away, but I used my vines to tap on his back. He turned around and looked at me. Then I used my vines to write:
"By the way, what's your name?"
He saw it, smiled, and replied, "My name is Fareo."
"I see. Fareo, you are still the mayor of them, so please keep supporting them," I wrote on the ground.
He read it and went into tears, saying, "You can rely on me! I might look old, but I am still full of energy! Muahahahahahahahahua!!!"
"Was that an evil laugh…?" I said.
I nodded, and then he went into full energy mode and went to the other Beastmans. I started to roam around and saw women taking a bath by the lakeside, covering the view with leaves. Then I saw some men trying to peek, so I used my vines and gave them a shot on their heads.
"Ouchh!!" They said and looked at me. As soon as they saw me, they panicked, bowed down, and said, "We are truly sorry, Lady Sumi!"
Then they ran away as fast as possible.
"Men are perverted and so horny," I said.
But as I said that, I saw men also taking a bath on the other side, covering the view with leaves, and some women were trying to peek.
"Bruh…," I said.
After that, I saw some children playing with each other and having fun. But one thing was still bothering me.
"Their clothes," I said.
[Indeed, those clothes can easily be torn and can cause disease fast,] Aries said.
"Yeah… wait, I have an idea!!" I said.
I used my vines and sent them up into the sky—very, very high. Then I walked on the vines and reached the top of it. Then I said,
"Aries, use Appraisal and give me their body size details."
[True Appraisal]
"Alright!! With this, I can make clothes for every one of them in perfect size! Hehehe, I'm so smart!" I said.
Then suddenly, I heard the voice of a man calling me from below.
"Lady Sumi!!!!!" He screamed.
I looked down and saw there were some men holding axes in front of a tree. I went to them and used my vines to write:
"What's wrong??"
The man came and said
"There is a problem." He pointed at the tree.
"These trees are very tough. None of our axes are even giving a scratch on it," he said.
"Ehhhh? Really? Is it that tough…?" I said.
[Positive. After the Heart absorbed your mana, the plants and other materials have enhanced the nature of life,] Aries said.
"I see… hmm, what should I do… I can make weapons, but I can't put sharpness on them…," I said.
"Oh, wait! This might work!" I spoke and used
Weapon Creation!
A glow came in front of me, and a wooden axe appeared.
"H..huh? A wooden axe??" one of the men asked.
I used my vines and wrote:
"Yeah, try to use them."
He read it and said, "O..ok," and he picked up the axe. He went to the tree, raised the axe, and hit the tree.
A sudden dark slash launched from the axe, and it didn't cut just that tree but many others behind it.
All of them looked at it, their mouths open in surprise.
"Hehe, I enchanted the axe with my shadow magic," I said.
After that, I summoned more axes and placed them on the ground and wrote:
"Use them as you wish, but make sure you don't harm others."
They read it and said, "Yes, Lady Sumi! Thanks for your help!"
I nodded and started to walk away.
"I like how they started to work instantly," I said.
[Indeed, even though their appearances don't look it, they are hard workers,] Aries said.
"Well, if they are working so hard, then I will too!!!!" I said in confident
