Select the thicker tree trunks and vertically split them into planks of a certain thickness using a stone knife.
After sharpening one end of the wooden planks, they were driven into the soil and arranged densely to form the three walls of the new shelter.
Furthermore, using mortise and tenon joints, a layer of wooden planks is horizontally inlaid into the vertical wall.
After this double stacking of vertical and horizontal layers, the wall is already quite airtight. With the leaves filling the gaps, it is more than enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
The roof is also made of double-layered sloping triangles of stacked wooden planks, with large plant leaves sandwiched in between, layer upon layer, which can effectively waterproof the roof.
Next to the new shelter is a water pit, which was dug by Izuki Karuta to store fresh water.
"Time and materials are limited."
"This shelter is rather small."
"But it's barely enough."
Izuki Karita felt a little regretful.
The island is not large, and there are only a few relatively thick trees in the forest.
Itake Karuta also wanted to leave some trees for firewood.
Fortunately, it was only for a few days, and it was enough to keep out the wind and rain.
The current shelter is about two meters wide and four meters long.
Three-quarters of the space is used for sleeping at night.
The other quarter consisted of miscellaneous items such as fire pits, cooking utensils, and firewood.
"Mr. Yizhu."
You are my god!
Sonoko excitedly rushed into Itake Karuta's arms.
Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki also opened their arms and hugged Karuta Itake.
The three women all showed obvious admiration in their eyes.
Being stranded on a deserted island, having even a rudimentary shelter is already a rare privilege.
Unexpectedly, Itsuki Shigeta turned around and built a new shelter.
Although the cabin is a bit small, it provides shelter from the wind and rain without any problem, and makes me feel very safe.
"Now is not the time to rest."
"We'll need to make a bed for where we sleep at night."
Izuki Karita gently reminded him.
Ran Mouri, Eri Kisaki, and Sonoko all nodded obediently, reluctantly letting go of each other's hands.
Afterwards, Itake Karuta went to the forest to collect broad leaves.
The three women shook the water droplets off the leaves and hung them near the fire to reduce their moisture content as much as possible.
The wooden walls of the previous makeshift shelter were laid out by Izuki Karuta in the sleeping area.
This can isolate ground moisture to some extent.
Then, layers of leaves are laid on top as a mat.
After nearly an hour of work, the sleeping area is now as comfortable as possible.
It was around four or five in the afternoon, but due to the strong winds and heavy rain, the sky was already quite dark.
The temperature inside the cabin was now warm and pleasant.
It could even be said that it's a bit too warm.
When Itaru Karuta finished collecting the leaves and went to the beach to get some seafood before returning to the cabin,
I noticed that Ran Mouri, Eri Kisaki, and Sonoko had all taken off their swimsuits because they were so hot.
I wore a swimsuit earlier because the temperature in the makeshift shelter was low.
Now the cabin is warm and cozy, so there's no need to wear extra clothes anymore.
Furthermore, both Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki's swimsuits are school swimsuits, which can cause discomfort to the body if worn for a long time.
"Welcome home, darling."
The three women spoke in unison at the doorway.
Although it was somewhat embarrassing, it was something they could do for Itsuki Karita.
Afterwards, Ran Mouri took the seafood with its innards cleaned.
Sonoko helped Itake Karita untangle her waterlogged clothes.
I used the previously dried swimsuit as a towel to wipe away the water stains.
Eri Kisaki thoughtfully helped with the massage.
It just so happens that Izuki Karuta has been busy with many things today.
My muscles are so stiff now.
Without any hesitation, she lay down on the leaf mat and enjoyed the massage from Eri Kisaki.
However, Izuki Karuta's physical attribute has already reached 200.
No matter how hard Eri Kisaki tries, it's hard to relieve the soreness in her hand from massaging.
Izuki Qingtian was only lying down for show; she mainly relied on her evil aura to quickly relieve her fatigue.
However, watching Eri and Sonoko give each other a loving massage with such fervor and adoration is quite charming.
Now we have a small wooden house to shelter us from the wind and rain, food, water, and fire.
The survival crisis has been resolved, and the tension has eased...
The only problem was that the cabin lacked entertainment.
So after enjoying a ten-minute massage,
It will take a while for the dinner at Izuki Karuta's place to be ready.
So, they first took Eri and Sonoko on an adventure in the psychic realm.
It can be entertaining and also help pass the time.
About ten minutes later,
Ran Mouri quickly prepared dinner.
Seeing that the other three were engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon King in the illusionary adventure, he also applied to join the adventure team.
……
Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
For the four hours after landing on the island, the storm raged on relentlessly, like a whirlwind.
As a result, Izuki Karuta, Ran Mouri, Eri Kisaki, and Sonoko spent most of their time in the cabin.
Eat your fill, then sleep; sleep your fill, then eat.
When you're bored, go on an adventure in the Mind Fantasy Realm to get some exercise.
The mental fantasy adventures these past few days have featured a variety of themes.
While the previous monster-slaying and leveling-up fantasy adventures were fun, they can get boring after a while, so naturally, you'll want to try new adventures.
Lava caves, rapids tunnels, skiing paradise, surfing hell...
In countless adventures through the illusionary realms of the mind, the four experienced a variety of adventures and challenges.
They lived a fulfilling and happy life.
On the fifth day,
The sky finally cleared up.
Izuki Karuta looked at the clear sky, a disdainful smile on her lips.
Since Ke Xue's side lacks the Heavenly Dao, triggering misfortune will at most bring natural disasters, and the scope and power will be limited.
If, like in the previous version 1.3, the Heavenly Dao unleashed Primordial Purple Lightning,
Perhaps Izuki Karuta will still feel a bit of a headache.
It's just a natural disaster right now, and it can't cause any real harm to Izuki Karuta.
Rather than saying they suffered disaster,
It seems more like Izuki Karuta deliberately brought Ran Mouri, Eri Kisaki, and Sonoko to this island for a vacation.
Seeing that the weather was clear,
Izuki Karuta took out a satellite phone, preparing to contact Vermouth.
Then I discovered... this satellite phone isn't waterproof!
Previously, during a storm at sea, the satellite phone was flooded and malfunctioned...
