"I'm fine, Haruno."
"I'm so sorry… Kanae, it's all my fault."
Haruno Kaoru gripped Kanae's shoulders, her eyes red, apologizing with a trembling voice.
She felt utterly guilty. She hadn't expected Chuck to actually lay a hand on her, and she certainly hadn't expected her impulse to drag Kanae into this. After hearing Tang Yumo's words yesterday, she stayed awake all night, wanting to run and rescue Kanae, but she simply lacked the courage to face Chuck again…
Kanae looked at Haruno Kaoru's guilty and haggard expression and just gently shook her head.
She returned Haruno's grip and placed a wrapped palm leaf into her hand.
"Haruno, this is for you."
"…Huh?"
Wiping the tears from her eyes, Haruno Kaoru looked blankly at the palm leaf she was slowly opening.
Inside were several substantial pieces of dried meat.
Haruno looked up, blinking. She couldn't react for a moment.
Where did Kanae get this meat from??
At that moment, she recalled Tang Yumo's words from yesterday. Her expression suddenly stiffened. Her eyes widened, and she slowly took half a step back, scrutinizing Kanae up and down.
Only one person could get meat on this deserted island.
She spoke with a trembling voice, looking at Kanae as she slowly asked.
"Kanae… did that man… did he do something to you…"
Having grown up with Kanae, she knew exactly what kind of girl Kanae was. She was pure and kind-hearted. Her life revolved around volleyball and nothing else, let alone interacting with the opposite sex.
A girl like Kanae should have preserved her chastity, found a suitable and excellent partner after graduation, and then invited her best friend to the wedding, married, had children, and lived a happy life.
But now, could it be that because of her impulsive behavior…
Had Kanae been defiled by a man like that?!
If that were the case, she truly would never forgive herself.
Hearing Haruno Kaoru's question, Kanae's eyes showed neither surprise nor shyness. She simply lowered her head in silence.
Seeing this, Haruno completely broke down.
"What did he do to you?! Talk to me!!"
"Haruno, I understand now."
Suddenly, Kanae looked up, looking at Haruno Kaoru again.
But for some reason, her gaze made the latter feel a sense of strangeness.
"Everything you said before was right."
"As women, if we want to survive on this island, our only choice is to rely on a powerful male."
"It's just that the situation now might be a little different from what you initially thought."
"The person who will stay by Mr. Chuck's side… to gain his protection, might not be you, Haruno, but me."
"…Huh?"
Kanae's series of words completely stunned Haruno's already bewildered expression.
True, she had indeed noticed Chuck's abilities early on and then tried to use her past game tactics to exploit him.
But that was because she only regarded him as an honest Chinese office worker uncle… She had no idea what kind of person Chuck really was.
But now she knows.
Staying by the side of a man like that… how will Kanae be treated?
She didn't even dare to imagine!
Why would Kanae willingly jump into the fire pit?
"Are you crazy?!"
Haruno Kaoru struggled for a long time, her delicate face turning crimson, eventually managing to squeeze out these three hysterical words.
Kanae was startled by her, but her expression remained calm.
Regardless of whose fault it was that things had turned out this way, she had already offered her chastity to Chuck. He had already played with her repeatedly in bed until she fainted, and she had been completely taken all over.
This was an unchangeable fact.
So, whatever she said now was too late. Furthermore, in her heart, she didn't feel that staying by Chuck's side was a painful thing. On the contrary, she felt very happy.
Since she had become his woman, she would be his woman forever.
"Don't worry, Haruno. Everything will be fine."
Kanae looked at her best friend whom she had grown up with. She gently patted Haruno Kaoru's arm, her eyes beneath her short hair speaking with a slightly mournful tone.
"I will come to see you often… but Haruno, you have to promise me that no matter what happened between you and Mr. Chuck yesterday, you must never go against him again, okay?"
"For all these years, you've quietly protected me. Now… it's my turn to protect you."
After speaking, Kanae smiled, then turned around, still walking with a slight limp and a subtly outward turned gait, heading toward the outside of the cave.
Haruno Kaoru stood frozen in place, holding the smoked meat in her hand, staring at the back of her closest best friend.
She felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity, almost a daze.
Once the tasks were planned, all that remained was execution.
This was not difficult for Chuck.
After the evolution of his capacious storage space, discounting the already occupied slots, Chuck could save nearly 80 kilograms of items in a single trip.
This was almost as heavy as he was!
So, by digging silt in the swamp wetland, he gathered enough to synthesize the required quantities for mud bricks and firebricks in a few trips. During this time, Chuck also took a moment to cut down and bring back a new sago palm trunk, processing it as he did last time to filter out the starch.
Next was the full operation of the Workshop.
Sand and gravel needed to be filtered into quartz sand via the Workshop. Silt and fine sand needed to be synthesized into mud bricks via the Workshop. Clay also needed to be washed and settled using silt and seawater via the Workshop. Finally, all of this, along with the quartz sand, had to be synthesized into firebricks…
Each of these steps for synthesizing building materials required the glowing countdown in the Workshop queue. Coupled with the collection of raw materials, it undoubtedly consumed a large amount of time and labor.
Fortunately, Chuck now had a total of four Workshop queues, which was barely enough to keep the material synthesis speed on par with the material collection speed.
As he traveled back and forth to the swamp, time flew by second by second.
Until the sun rose to the top of the sky and then slowly set again, the orange-yellow sunset casting its light upon the stone platform…
An entire day of high-intensity labor came to an end.
Throughout the process, although Chuck was the main force, none of the four women slacked off. They all did everything within their capabilities, and even Kanae, whose leg injury hadn't fully healed, and Gu Momo, who was frail, helped significantly.
Despite the tireless effort, the average progress of the two blueprints barely exceeded one-third.
It seemed it would take at least two more days to collect all the required materials and complete the blueprints.
The workload was evident.
As night fell, everyone ate dinner together and then did a simple wash-up before returning to the wooden cabin.
"Hoo…"
By the flickering firelight of the wooden bed, the plump, mature mother, Gu Yitong, her hair still damp, sat down on the edge of the bed and slowly removed her towel from her neck. Then, she crossed her plump legs and massaged her reddened heels with her hands, relaxing her sore feet after the day's fatigue.
Across from her, on a wooden chair by the dinner table, the foreigner, who had also just showered, didn't even bother to put on clothes. She eagerly knelt between Chuck's legs, who was playing a standalone version of Candy Crush on his phone.
And when she gently licked her red lips with her tender tongue, excitedly reached out a small hand to pull down Chuck's pants, preparing to taste the delicious sausage she had been looking forward to all day…
The formidable, colossal weapon that appeared instantly stunned the foreigner.
"Dar… Darling?"
Julia looked up at the behemoth that almost completely obscured her face, feeling her blood instantly surge and her brain nearly spin.
What is this?
Was Darling… always this big?
Chuck, who was playing a game on his phone to pass the time, turned off the screen. Then, he looked down at the foreigner whose small face was blocked by his weapon, her face crimson and her eyes wildly flashing with hearts. He smiled, shook his head, and then reached out to gently pat her cheek.
"Why are you standing there stunned?"
"…Ah, okay~"
The foreigner instinctively nodded. Her not-so-clever brain couldn't think too much. She tentatively opened her warm, sweet mouth and then took it inside.
A few minutes later.
Julia, her jaw aching, tears streaming, and her throat sore, finally spit out the behemoth and bent over, coughing.
Chuck saw this, smiled, stood up, put down his phone, and then looked down. With a gasp of surprise from Julia, he lifted her entire body into his arms.
"Are you ready, my little slut?"
The foreigner, her lips still stained with some residue, looked at her beloved man with hazy blue eyes. Her voice trembled slightly from nervousness and anticipation.
"Oh my god, Darling, you're too big. I… I won't be fucked to death, will I?"
But even as she spoke, her pale, tender legs instinctively wrapped around Chuck's waist, and her white, perfect feet hooked together.
Chuck only smiled at her words.
"Silly girl, how could I bear to? But…"
"Coming back to life after dying is certainly possible."
As his words fell, Chuck's hands suddenly released their grip, and the terrifying weapon plunged into the foreigner's garden between her legs with a swoosh, completely submerging itself.
Inevitably, it slammed into her flat, pale abdomen, causing a bulge.
The intense impact of this moment caused Julia's fiery body, clinging to Chuck, to instinctively arch backward. Her head tipped back, her feet arched and her toes curled. Her entire body began to convulse violently. Her eyes, ruined by pleasure, looked dazedly at the ceiling of the wooden cabin. Then, she gritted her teeth, and a powerful burst of fluid was ejected as she let out a cry of both exhilaration and pain.
"Oh my god!! Big! Too big!!"
Unfortunately, this wild cry couldn't elicit any pity from Chuck. His waist and legs engaged in full-throttle assault mode. In an instant, her hot body became a doll, repeatedly thrust upward and suspended. Her pale bouncing breasts leaped wildly. Her flat abdomen pulsed in and out with each impact. With her toes curling and twitching, waves of fluid splashed onto the wooden floor.
Watching this intense scene, everyone in the room—the Gu mother and daughter and the newcomer, Kanae—were flushed and their hearts raced, anticipating the arrival of their turn.
After a long day of hard work, it was time for the rare evening entertainment before bed.
Strengthened by the two yellow pills, even with an extra "opponent," Chuck found it easier to handle. Julia, who could originally endure two rounds, was utterly defeated and fainted after just one encounter. Chuck injected a dense load, and her flat abdomen, like the Gu mother and daughter's, slightly bulged. The essence energy content inside also exceeded 30 grams.
Not only did his magazine capacity increase, but the bullet regeneration speed and cooldown time were all comprehensively boosted. This allowed Chuck to handle continuous combat with greater ease. In fact, compared to his weapon, his stamina had become the limiting factor for his performance.
It wasn't until the Gu mother and daughter also lay intertwined, both unconscious, their bodies soaked in sweat, that Chuck, whose sculpted body was clearly defined and even subtly steaming, finally turned to the other side of the big bed. He leaned over and pinned down Kanae, who was already flushed and lying naked, waiting for him.
This was the advantage of having three beds pushed together to form a large communal sleeping mat. At times like this, Chuck was like Wei Xiaobao, only needing to work his way through them one by one.
"Mr. Chuck~"
Kanae held her head up, her face now completely the expression of a thoroughly conquered female. She looked at Chuck pinning her down, letting out a kitten-like call.
"Kanae."
Chuck raised his hand and gently caressed the girl's feminine expression, which was a complete contrast to her former self. His heart stirred, and a compliment involuntarily slipped out.
"You're beautiful, you know that?"
"…Huh?"
Completely unprepared for Chuck to give her such a compliment, Kanae's brain short-circuited for a moment. It took her a while to finally recover.
Her face instantly turned blood-red, and she shyly turned her head slightly, averting her gaze.
"How… how is that possible? A girl like me…"
Because of her tall, almost masculine build, her identity as a sports club member, and her neutral appearance and personality, no one had ever given her compliments like "beautiful" or "cute" since middle school.
Moreover, she had Haruno Kaoru beside her, who was recognized as the school's Gyaru beauty.
However, she hadn't felt much about it herself. After all, she was self-aware and knew she wasn't the type of girl who suited dressing up. Her life was content as long as she had volleyball and Haruno.
But now…
Kanae felt her heart beating faster, and she felt a stronger itch down below. She didn't know why, but she was overjoyed.
It turns out that being complimented as beautiful by the man she loves is such a happy thing for a woman.
"Mr. Chuck… do you really think I'm beautiful?"
Kanae finally summoned the courage to meet the gaze of Chuck, who was leaning over her. Her toes instinctively curled, asking with a mix of disbelief and anticipation.
"Of course. Isn't it obvious?"
Chuck smiled and lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over the colossal weapon, which was pressed against the girl's warm thighs, still covered in remnants of white residue but still fiercely erect.
Seeing this, Kanae bit her lower lip and finally gave a genuine, happy smile. Then, she gently nodded, waiting with nervousness and anticipation.
Feeling the texture of the young flesh beneath him, Chuck wasted no more time. He took a deep breath, raised his waist, and then, accompanied by the volleyball girl's suddenly tightened, toned thighs.
He slammed down heavily once again.
As usual, Chuck's time on the deserted island continued, unruffled, day after day.
Unlike his life, which was peaceful yet interspersed with passion, the lives of Tang Yumo and Haruno Kaoru in the southwest cove cave could only be described as bleak.
Especially Haruno Kaoru.
Since that incident, Haruno Kaoru's fantasies and plans had been completely shattered. She had fallen into a state of confusion, unsure of what to do.
And Kanae indeed kept her promise. Even though she was living with Chuck, she still came to see her every day.
But for Haruno Kaoru, each passing day was a torment and a difficult shock to accept.
On the first day, Kanae was only slightly unfamiliar, suddenly announcing she would live with that man and bringing her dried meat, but ultimately, she was still the Kanae Haruno knew.
But from the second day onward…
Haruno Kaoru gradually stopped recognizing Kanae.
