I'm Stuck on a Remote Island With the Male Leads

Chapter 5

"No way.......you weren't awake the whole time, were you?"

Enoch did not answer. It looks like he really hasn't slept.

"You can't use your energy like that when you don't know how long you're going to starve."

Even with my realistic advice, Enoch still didn't care.

"I haven't decided yet whether Young Lady is someone I can trust or not."

The tone was blunt, but the eyes that looked over me were sharp.

It's the first time I've ever seen someone whose words and actions don't match up like this.

It was around dawn when I woke up.

However, Enoch did not yet know that monsters only appeared when it was dark. Maybe that's why, even when the sun came up, he was tense all the time and there was a lot of strength in his shoulders.

Of course, it's not that I'm not nervous at all. However, monsters will appear frequently in the future, and I can't help but shudder in fear each time.

growling.

As I was thinking about it, my stomach suddenly made a loud noise.

Enoch looked at me. I smiled with an awkward face.

Feeling the tension somehow made me feel more hungry. I can solve my thirst with coconut, but the problem is hunger.

"Shall we go get something to eat?"

I feel like I was going to die of hunger.

"Do you mean to go hunt?"

"I don't have time to hunt. I'll go get some fruit."

"Fruit......?"

Enoch asked with a puzzled face. It seems that he had never collected fruit before.

I pointed to the palm tree just behind our makeshift shelter.

"Do you see the little fruit on that palm tree? Those are edible fruit called acai berries. I think I'll try to collect those."

The acai berry has many hard seeds and few edible parts, so it is a fruit that is not enough to fill the required calories.

However, there was not much food available right now. I must say that I am fortunate to have found an acai palm that bears fruit all year round.

If I go a little further, I think I could collect blackberries or raspberries, but to do so, I had to go to the place where the fruit bears—which I don't know where it is, so it was impossible right now.

"Is the fruit really edible? I don't know if I can trust Young Lady."

"Then stay hungry. I'll eat."

I answered briefly as I prepared to climb the tree. Again, Enoch had a bewildered face. He stopped me as he watched me roll up my dress and tie it up.

"What are you doing?"

I looked up at the palm tree and said, "I have to climb the tree to pick the fruit."

Enoch followed me with a puzzled face, measuring the height.

"If I just hit the tree, the fruit will fall, so do you have to climb it? It looks dangerous."

"The palm tree is tough, and the acai berry is such a small fruit......"

I shook my head and prepared to climb the tree.

"I can't just collect fruit that have fallen over time like worker ants. I'll climb the tree and pick up all the fruit branches."

Enoch made a face that still didn't understand what I was saying. Then he sneaked beside me and gently waved his fist and struck the palm tree.
