Used To It
When they arrived at their destination, everyone had alighted from the boat, but Solomon’s cabin door
remained closed.
“There is something wrong with him. What he needs is a good beating!”
Sabrina had a fiery temper. When she saw what had happened, she wanted to go and beat him up.
Thankfully, Devin pulled her back.
“All right, let’s get down from the boat and give him some space. He will join us when he has thought
things through,” Devin said, suggesting that everyone leave Solomon alone.
Hence, everybody alighted from the boat, and they brought Ichika with them as well.
There was nowhere to stay, nor was there any food on this island. Everyone had to set up their tents
first before preparing food.
Devin said, “Sebastian, let’s handle the tents and leave the food preparation to the ladies.”
Sebastian replied, “Okay.”
Then the two men began setting up the tents.
Seeing that, Sasha and Sabrina dragged Ichika along with them as they built the stove, moved their
pots and pans, and prepared the raw ingredients.
Even the three little children helped out.
However, Vivian soon noticed that Ichika did not look too happy.
“Aunt Ichika, are you still thinking about Uncle Solomon? Should I go take a look at him?”
“No, no, no. It’s all right,” Ichika replied with a blush on her face.
Vivian tilted her head helplessly before leaving to play with her brother.
Sasha noticed it as well, but this was not a good time to advise her. Even though it was not Sasha’s
fault, she was still the root of the trouble. Hence, staying silent was the best remedy here.
After about two hours, the tents were set up, and the meal was ready.
“All right, let’s eat. We’ll assign tasks after our meal,” Sasha, the leader, said. “We’ll have to—”
“What task? Aren’t we here for the aurora?” Sabrina interrupted upon hearing that.
Sasha replied, “Well, we still have to eat at night. Also, it’s very cold out here, so we have to grab some
firewood to build a fire to keep ourselves warm. It can help us appreciate the sights better too.”
Everyone thought what she said made sense.
Sabrina immediately sat down on the mat and laid out the plan that Sasha had drafted before they set
off.
“Wow. Fishing, gathering firewood, picking fruits, and digging for wild vegetables. How are we going to
divide so many duties among us?”
Her face immediately fell when she took a look at the list of tasks, as she had already worked hard for
the past two hours.
Devin came up to sit next to her after he heard her mumbling.
“We can go and gather firewood.”
“Huh?” Sabrina glared at him. “No, I don’t want to. That’s too tiring. I want to go fishing. I don’t mind
looking for vegetables either!” she protested vehemently.
Sasha found that quite amusing. “That’s all right. Sebastian and I can go and gather firewood.”
Sebastian said, “No, you are not well. We can only fish.”
Sebastian suddenly appeared with a fishing rod in his hand. There was clearly no room for negotiation
in his voice.
Sasha, Sabrina, and Devin were speechless.
Even Ichika looked up despite the fact that she was busy packing a lunchbox. When she caught sight
of the domineering Sebastian, she could not help but shudder a little as well.
He looks really frightening.
Ichika stood up with the box in her hands.
“Where are you going to?”
Suddenly, Sebastian’s gaze fell on Ichika, making her shiver involuntarily.
“I-I’m bringing him some food. He is still on the boat.”
“Bring him food? Is he still a child? He is a full-fledged adult! How can he throw a tantrum and expect
food to be sent to his doorstep still? If he is going to keep that up, tell him not to get off that boat!”
This severe reprimanding nearly drove Ichika to tears.
Every single word that he uttered was the truth.
The person who was truly humiliated on the boat was Sebastian.
Devin knew him best, and he smiled at this scene.
“Ichika, Sebastian means no harm. All he is saying is to let Solomon come here by himself to get his
food. Why don’t you put down this lunchbox and tell him that you two are assigned to gather firewood
this afternoon? If you don’t do it, everyone will have to suffer in the cold tonight.”
“Huh?”
Ichika’s eyes grew wider.
Why are we in charge of gathering firewood? Isn’t that what everyone is avoiding?
She felt that she was being bullied by the group.
However, she still got onto the boat and walked gingerly to the cabin.
“Darling, it’s time to eat. Open the door, please.”
She was met with absolute silence from the cabin.
Ichika had no choice but to put her hand on the handle.
Click!
The cabin door opened.
However, she quickly realized that there was nobody inside.
Where is he?
She instantly panicked.
