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

Chapter 67

At Kayden's words, I bit my lower lip for a moment and pondered.

I have to follow it......? The silver earthworm was the one who brought me to this cliff. So it can be trusted, right?

After much thought, I finally followed it through the bushes.

Going further behind the corpse of the giant tarantula, I saw a corpse of a medium-sized spider. Then the silver earthworm slathered back and forth in front of it.

"Ew...... I hate spiders."

There was something underneath the dead tarantula that had been turned upside down.

Kayden showed no sign of disgust. He casually sat down on one knee in front of the tarantula corpse.

Then, the silver earthworm jumped up to welcome Kayden as if telling him to take a look there.

It was a strange sight to see a snake the size of an earthworm jumping up and down.

Kayden tried to lift the tarantula's leg, but it was not easy because it was heavy.

"Margaret, it looks like the magic tools you used are underneath here."

Reluctantly, I approached Kayden and put my hand on the tarantula's hairy leg. Ugh, I hate the feeling of touching it. Ew......

I helped Kayden lift the tarantula's leg, and as it lifted, the silver earthworm slithered down as if waiting.

"Huh?"

I looked down in surprise, but this kid was pushing a flare gun with its head and coming out.

If it knows how to speak, it seems to shout 'one-two, one-two.'

Kayden also looked at the behavior of the silver earthworm with a puzzled look.

He pushed the flare gun out completely and looked up at me with a proud face.

No, actually, a snake has no expression, so I don't know if it was a proud face or not. But when the silver earthworm looked at me and flicked its tongue out, it was like a puppy wishing for praise.

It doesn't make sense that this kid is just a snake. Just like Kayden said, it makes sense to say that it is a monster who really imprinted me as its owner.

I think it is probably the baby of the anaconda who tried to lay an egg at that time.

"Good job, thank you."

Perhaps the silver earthworm was happy with my compliment, it went spinning around, rejoicing.

'How cute.'

A grown-up anaconda was horrifyingly frightening, but this kid was a small worm-like baby snake.

Besides, I couldn't hate the kid who was following me cutely and glaringly at me asking for love.

I looked at the silver earthworm, smiled, and picked up my flare gun.

The flare gun was fine. There were bullets in it, too. After all, I couldn't find my bag, but I'm so glad I got my flare gun.

"Margaret?"

As I was about to go back, Kayden called me. I had no choice but to follow him back to the cliff.

The sky was exceptionally clear today and the sun was warm. Thanks to this, the visibility was good, and the beautiful view of the island caught my eye.

The emerald-colored river flowing under the cliff shone brilliantly, and the green bushes surrounding the river swayed peacefully.

"This island is pretty," said Kayden as he looked at me quietly staring over the cliff. I glanced at him and nodded.

"I know. Pretty."

Who would have thought that such a beautiful island would be full of terrible monsters?

I stared blankly at the island for a while, then turned my back.

"Come on, let's go back. Everyone must be worried."

Kayden nodded at my words. Then, the silver earthworm followed us as we headed for the hut.

When I turned my back and looked at it, it was startled and stopped. It slowly avoided my gaze and then looked back at me.

I don't know why you're acting so pitiful. Is this a strategy to gain sympathy?

Anyway, it seems that the strategy has worked to some extent.

'I don't think it'll bite me......'

If I leave the silver earthworm alone, it won't be able to last a day and will be eaten by other monsters, right?

In the end, I had to make a decision. I looked at the silver earthworm with a worried face and asked it, "Do you want to come with us?"

At my question, it jumped and came up to me at a very high speed, spinning around my feet.

"Hey, this bastxrd is like a real dog."

Kayden's murmur made me stare at him with a tired look.

"Why are you insulting it?"

He shrugged.

In the end, we decided to take the silver earthworm and head to the hut.

Kayden asked, "If you're going to take it, how about giving it a name?"

The silver earthworm raised its head.

Somehow, its yellow eyes seemed to twinkle.

"Eunji."

Eunji jumped up in joy.

"It is an abbreviation of Eunsaek Jirongi[1]."

[1] 은색 지렁이 (Eunsaek Jirongi) means Silver Earthworm

Somehow it sounds like a Korean name, but I couldn't come up with any other names.

What can I do with my naming tastes?
