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

Chapter 143

"Anyway, please understand. I should have known what it was like to live a life of sacrifice and consideration for others."

I chuckle at that. "Am I supposed to thank you for finally understanding me?"

"There's nothing to be grateful for."

"I don't think you know how to make an oxymoron."

"I've never lived a twisted life, so I don't understand twisted words."

"You're a politician, that's a big deal."

"I'm glad you're so worried. I've missed you so much, the void has felt so big."

Arthdal's eyes lit up like he was genuinely happy to see me. He still looks good enough to remind me of Manager Kim.

"I didn't really miss you. But I think that's a good thing, so why don't you do your best while you can? If you don't help, I'll leave you here."

"Oh, no, that's not fair, I got here with a lot of struggle. I'll do well from now on."

Arthdal was still very talkative. As usual, I took in most of what he said.

The others didn't say a word to each other.

It had been a long time since I'd seen Yuanna, so I expected them to say hello to each other, but they all seemed to be waiting for me to speak first.

"Enoch, Kayden. Come here, show me your wounds."

I looked at Enoch and Kayden's wounds, then closed the first aid kit.

As I tended to Enoch's and Kayden's wounds, Arthdal stood beside me, talking softly. "Young lady, did you also get that outfit from the supply box? Isn't that too revealing? It's unusual."

Enoch, who had finished getting his wound treated, glared at Arthdal irritably. "Stop joking around. First, let's talk about the situation."

"I'm sad, Banhwang. You could ask about my well-being in a more friendly way. We are best friends."

"Hey, Cheekydal. You'd better keep your mouth shut when I'm saying something nice. When have we ever been friends?"

It's been a while since I've heard Enoch call Arthdal by his nickname, and it's clear that Arthdal is the only one who can bring out the childish side of Enoch.

Anyway, we sorted things out to some extent and talked about Diego and Ruzef.

"He sealed the mother of monsters inside his body?" Yuanna asked me with a serious face.

"Yes. You must know that, too. It seems like it's something every priest knows."

"Oh, yes. We learn it in catechism class, but only in theory," Yuanna affirmed, resting her chin on the back of her hand in deep thought and looking at the unconscious Ruzef.

We all waited for her to speak again.

After a long silence, she said, "I think it will be a problem if the Archbishop wakes up."

"Why?"

"If he sealed the spirits inside his body, he hasn't completely destroyed them."

"Ah...... that's right."

"If the spirits were strong enough to fuel the evolution of monsters, they must have had a great influence on this island......"

She's right. Even Jenas seemed unable to stop them.

Yuanna stroked her chin with a thoughtful face and came to a conclusion. "I feel like part of the system that makes up the island is going to collapse. The components that make up the island are organically linked, and if one collapses, the rest are more likely to collapse because the links are weaker."
