Chapter 14 – Uninhabited Island Lv.4
I enjoyed the wild boar meat, and both Skor and I were filled with a sense of happiness. I don’t think we can move for a while.
“From now on, we should also hunt monsters to secure food.”
“Yes, it’s a large uninhabited island, so I think other monsters inhabit it, and there might even be dungeons.”
That’s right. This is a vast uninhabited island, an undeveloped land where no one lives… There’s a big mountain, and the forest spreads far and wide. There may even be caves. Then, there must be a cave dungeon. However, I have never entered a dungeon before, but I had at least some knowledge gained from books. It was good to occasionally read adventurer’s knowledge books1 The phrase “冒険者の心得” (boukensha no kokoroe) can be translated as “adventurer’s knowledge” or “adventurer’s know-how” and refers to books or guides that provide information on how to survive and thrive in dangerous and uncharted territories. for pastime.
“A dungeon, huh. Maybe we should explore one.”
“Yes, I think it’s okay if the development progresses a little more.”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
Being impatient is not a good thing. It’s dangerous to be greedy and try to rush things. We need to proceed slowly and steadily. Besides, our living conditions aren’t even fully established yet. First, we need to make sure we can live a normal life.
Let’s check the current “status”.

After completing the lake and setting up the campfire, the level of the uninhabited island has gone up to “4”. Apparently, the more installations, the higher the level will go up. It also seems that the level of buildings such as hut can be raised. It seems that using materials such as wood and “iron”, that I can’t use yet, to strengthen them can raise their levels.
Come to think of it, why can’t I use “iron”…? As I was wondering about it, the voice of the heavens, “Havamar”, echoed.
“Oh-hon. Rasty, you seem to be doing your best. I was surprised by your boar hunting.”
“Havamar, did you see it?”
“Indeed. I am always by your side.”
When I was talking with Havamar, Skor was startled.
“Ah, Rasty-san! What is this voice?”
“Can you hear it too, Skor?”
“Yes, clearly! It sounds like a girl’s voice though.”
“Maybe? I mean, it’s always just a ‘voice,’ so I don’t know its true identity. “
This was real.
I still didn’t know the true meaning behind why Havamar is helping me.
“Oh, right. I’m sorry for not greeting you earlier. Holy Maiden Skor, my name is Havamar, and I am here on this island with you all.”
“Havamar-san…I didn’t know there were other people here!”
“We may meet someday. Please take care of me at that time.”
“Y-yes…”
Since it had been a while since she had talked to anyone other than me, Skor seemed a bit dazed. Come to think of it, it was just the two of us the whole time. It would be nice if the owner of the voice, Havamar, could come over here too.
“By the way, Rasty. Are you having trouble?”
“I want to strengthen it quickly. I want to use iron, but for some reason, it’s impossible to use… “
“Of course. You need a “worktable” to handle iron.”
“Worktable?”
What in the world is that?
TN: Minor correction on a previous chapter: Change Saintess to Holy Maiden. Although 正常 (Seijō) can be translated as Holy Maiden and Saint/Saintess, since I use Holy Maiden first, I will be using that.
TN: If you like my translations support me in ko-fi: Here.
