I put off worrying about the 'door' for now and talked about future plans with the others.

"Find Sir Diego, meet Saintess, then destroy the mother of monsters. After that we go to that wizard's cabin, correct?"

Kayden asked as he summed up our conversation so far. Enoch and I nodded together.

"If we want to deal with Jenas, we must get rid of the mother of monsters."

Jenas was able to grasp our movements through the monster's eyes. He said it was hard to control monsters, but that didn't mean they couldn't be handled.

It's difficult to deal with a single Jenas, but it's too daunting to deal with even a monster.

Therefore, monster eradication was absolutely necessary.

"Okay, first let's see what the mother of monsters is and make a decision. Then find out what the Saintess knows."

For the first time in months since I've been on this island, I feel like I see hope that getting off here is possible. If we advance according to the planned route and defeat Jenas, we might really be able to escape.

We all nodded at Kayden's words. And for a moment there was a brief silence.

-swaaash.

At that time, the sound of heavy rain came from outside the cave.

I muttered, "Is Sir Diego all right?"

"It's my fault," said Ruzef with a guilty face.

Perhaps because it was Ruzef who had been spending the most time with Diego lately, and he was with him last, he seemed to feel even more guilty.

"It's nobody's fault. If anyone is to blame, it's Jenas."

Despite what I said, Ruzef's mood didn't seem to be improving. Perhaps he will remain so until Sir Diego is found.

-swaaash.

We decided to find Diego early in the morning, but it was still raining.

I crouched down at the entrance of the cave and stared blankly at the pouring rain. Thanks to the heavy rains, the heat is completely dissipated.

Our situation is too poor to deal with monsters in the forest when it rains. So we'll have to wait until the rain subsides a bit, and it's clear Diego's rescue will be late.

We'll wait a little longer, and if the pouring rain continues, we've decided to just move through the downpour. If Diego is in danger, we may miss the golden time for rescue.

"Lady Floné."

Ruzef sat down next to me. He handed me a leaf with palm fruit on it.

"We should save as much food as possible from the bunker, so have breakfast with the palm fruit I got yesterday. Thank you for understanding."

Ruzef was in charge of collecting fruits. Looking at the scars on his hands, it seemed he had a lot of trouble doing it in this pouring rain.

"Thank you."

Ruzef said nothing, stroking his head with a bashful face. Behind us, Kayden and Enoch were arguing loudly.

The main subject of the fight is who will carry me in the pouring rain.

I have legs, why are you carrying me?

There was no point dealing with their childish bickering, so I ignored them and munched on the palm fruit.

Ruzef, who was still looking at my side face, asked a strange question that was somewhat unintelligible.

"If we manage to get off this island, where will you go back to?"
