They all have special skills

Think back to what Eriri has experienced along the way.

First I drifted on the sea, swam in the water, and walked for a while...

After that, I didn't change my socks. I just kept them stuffy in the airtight leather shoes, and they slowly dried up with the help of my natural body heat...

It is only natural that this situation would occur.

Although Qingshuichuan noticed this, he did not express anything because he wanted to protect the girl's self-esteem.

He had originally planned to seal the exit above his head and just enjoy himself a little tonight.

But when he was about to do so, he suddenly realized a problem.

He and Eriri are in similar situations...

Now that her feet are so addictive, wouldn't my feet, as a rough guy, smell even more delicious?!

I can tolerate it, but other girls probably can't stand it.

Thinking of this, Shimizukawa shrank his legs a little embarrassedly, and at the same time slightly leaned over to look towards the side where Eriri was sleeping.

This action brought Eriri's little feet closer to his face, almost touching it, and an indescribable smell entered his nostrils.

Even more addictive!

"Yinglili."

The moment Qingshuichuan looked at her, he opened his mouth.

Eriri's feet suddenly retracted, and her little head, which was originally tilted close to Shimizukawa's body, turned back to face upwards in an instant.

“What…what happened?!”

The voice sounded a little panicked for some reason.

But Qingshuichuan didn't think much about it.

"I thought about it and decided that we should rest side by side..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet and was about to give a reason, but Eriri had already answered directly.

"okay."

Although this straightforward answer surprised Qingshuichuan, it did save him the trouble of explaining.

Since the other party agreed, he stopped being pretentious.

He quickly stood up, sealed the opening on his side, and then lay down from the other side.

This time, there is no more sour taste that makes people dizzy.

Strangely enough, one could still smell a faint fragrance in the Qingshui River.

It still smells like this after two days of suffering. Are all girls so incredible?

"That...Kawa-kun..."

"kindness?"

"You hit my hair."

"Oh sorry sorry..."

The two of them carefully adjusted their lying positions.

In the end, they were both lying on their backs, a fist's length apart from each other.

Qingshuichuan's coat was now barely draped over the two people's stomachs.

Both of them felt a little ambiguous and at a loss at the moment.

In the end, it was Qingshuichuan who spoke first.

"Go to bed early..."

"Well, good night, Kawa-kun."

"Goodnight, Eriri."

The empty space above the head was sealed, leaving only a shallow gap.

The firelight can shine through, and you can clearly see the starry sky.

After an unknown amount of time, Shimizukawa slowly turned his head to look at Eriri.

As expected, she still didn't close her eyes.

"Can't sleep?"

"Um……"

"Are you still worried about whether we can be rescued successfully?"

"No, after hearing what Chuan-kun said, I'm not worried about that at all. I'm just thinking about... Chuan-kun's family, and my family...

They don't know our specific situation now, so they will definitely be worried...

My mother, although she usually seems a little out of tune, must be crying right now..."

As she spoke, Eriri's eyes dimmed.

Qingshuichuan didn't know how to answer at this moment.

He had the same worries in his heart.

Just like me who is trapped on a deserted island, those who are worried about me are probably having a hard time right now.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

"...However, compared to those who have been confirmed dead, the fact that we two are still unsure of our situation might actually be good news for them. At least it gives them some hope."

"..."

Eriri didn't reply immediately.

But Qingshuichuan could clearly feel the movement coming from her side.

A small hand reached out, slid down his arm, and rested smoothly on his palm.

A deserted island far away from the world.

Just the two of them.

They can comfort each other.

"It's so great that I can meet Chuan-kun..."

She mentioned meeting.

It means before the shipwreck.

Or after the shipwreck.

Even the Shimizu River cannot be confirmed.

His response at this moment.

It is against the backdrop of the sound of waves.

Slowly hold Eriri's cold little hand.

"Me too...Come on, we're going home together."

Volume 1: Chapter 57: Everyone's Choice

The gaze shifts from the deserted island to the neon Tokyo.

At this moment, whether it is TV news or online tweets.

Everyone’s screen was dominated by the unfortunate disaster that happened not long ago!

An ordinary sightseeing ferry is sailing normally.

Contact was lost shortly after sending out the distress signal!

When the nearest ship on the route arrived, it saw a huge ferry with flames shooting up into the sky!

The official search and rescue team, which received the distress signal first, arrived two hours later.

At this time, most of the ferries that had accidents had sunk into the sea!

In the stormy night, the ships arriving from nearby shipping routes are now under official command.

Finally, they began to search and rescue in the surrounding sea areas, centered on the accident site.

From late night to dawn, from heavy rain to gradual cessation.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing.

But private ships that volunteer to participate in search and rescue work for humanitarian reasons cannot stay here forever.

Twenty-four hours later, they left one after another out of courtesy.

As a result, more than half of the search and rescue ships near the shipwreck site were suddenly gone.

Up to this moment, forty-four hours have passed since the shipwreck.

According to the official data currently released.

Passengers on the ferry involved in the accident.

Including the crew on board, there were a total of 913 people.

So far, 202 people have been successfully rescued and sent to hospitals for rehabilitation treatment.

The bodies of 127 people were recovered and confirmed to have been killed.

The list of victims was then published after comparison with the ferry company's backend information of people who purchased tickets under their real names.

As for the remaining 584 people, their whereabouts are still unknown in the vast ocean.

Life or death is unknown!

hospital.

Iizuka Takeshi also slowly woke up.

His eyes looked unusually tired and empty.

It took a long time before he gradually regained consciousness.

I saw my parents guarding me.

He was about to speak when he found his throat was extremely painful.

That is a symptom of respiratory infection caused by moisture invading the upper respiratory tract.

His parents asked him questions with both joy and worry. He hummed a few times in response and then asked the questions that concerned him.

"Io... and, Chuan... were they... rescued?"

"Iso is fine. She has the same problem as you. She has water in her respiratory tract and symptoms of pneumonia. She's being treated at another hospital... As for Chuan... is he your friend?"

The parents naturally knew their son's childhood sweetheart, but they didn't know who the "Chuan" he was talking about was.

"Well... he's a friend, and also the benefactor of my destiny..."

Iizuka Takeshi didn't want to say anything more.

He let his parents help him lean against the head of the bed.

Then he picked up his phone and clicked on the real-time follow-up news of this major disaster.

On the news page, he took a deep breath and clicked on the list of victims with trembling fingertips.

He kept praying for something in his heart and read from the first name down.

In the end, he breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see his friend's name.

After a brief contemplation.

He looked at his parents.
