Chapter 268: The Circumstances of the Island, and a Critical Situation

「So, have you found anything about the people in that island?」(Elzie)

「I guess so Their cultural environment is not that different from ours However, the area where the people are currently living is terrifyingly narrow It can be said that this situation is natural due to the presence of behemoths around them Therefore, the town doesn’t expand anywhere outside the barrier it’s confined in There are a few settleh」(Touya)

I answer Elzie’s question while eating ra rooed to splendidly reproduce it once I had checked the details of a recipe in the net and had taught it to her, alongside with showing her its ingredients and photographs I feel like the broth is a bit thin, but the taste delicious enough I was amazed that she reproduced even the narutoyoza next time? Well, it probably won’t be the ones that can beroom are me, the sisters Elzie and Linzie, and Yae Yuone to do an after meal al hereven if it’s already afternoon It looks like she had been reading soht

「That barrier, see, on that island… 」

Linzie is also eating while blowing it to cool it down She’s not proficient with chopsticks, so she’s using a fork

「It appears that this large-scale barrier isn’t being used on anything but the whole island, the four directional capitals, and the central teuess, but I wonder if that tee of Time” or not」(Touya)

In other words, it’s an artifact It then means that the application of the barrier won’t be possible in the future It’s a seriousis possible are limited in space Well, the people in there shouldn’t be attacked by beheo outside just because they simply left the barrier

The bellies of those monsters won’t be full even if they eat so the size of their bodies They will probably be aiic beasts, which appear to be more useful to fill up their stomachs

Those behemoths will destroy the towns, even if people decide to build the them by The most they can probably do is to just construct several houses which that resemble a settlement

「Won’t the people there exterht with a certain resolve that some would become victims, won’t they?」(Elzie)

「Well, It does look like they’re fighting those beasts and that they have large movable catapults inside the capitals for that exact purpose They seem to take those catapult out outside the barrier and drive away the behemoths when those beasts draw near their town」(Touya)

Anyway, they probably wouldn’t be able to survive for e to defend themselves Different from us in the continent, haven’t they been able to advance their oay of dealing with the beheht still be reliant on the defensive protection of the barrier

「Speaking of their tribe, huht?」(Yae)

Different fro the chopsticks — she’s proficient with thes like Soba and Udon in Ishen as well By the way, this is already her third bowl

She isn’t getting fat despite howit a real mystery Well, it’s certainly thanks to the fact that she’s

「No There are certainly a lot of hu them Or so it seeainst those deether in the capitals」(Touya)

I really want our side to follow their principle Nevertheless, prejudices ht not be existent there iven how narrow their living space is — they have to cooperate with each other to live through such severe circuly few people in proportion to the land, but that riculture and fishery is very difficult」(Touya)

Even if they acquire their hard-earned spacious lands, their fields will be destroyed as soon as they grow crops in, so they ht’ve decided to restrict the size of the said fields The folks there will surely grief if their produce, which they’ve been working on and raising for a whole year, gets utterly destroyed right before they can even harvest it

It looks like they think that it’s better to place the fields and grow crops inside the barrier Since the houses are built on the circumference of the barrier, they intend to escape to the fields inside the barrier in the advent of a beheet destroyed, but the provisions will remain I think it’s very likely that they will survive as a species if they do it this way, but…

「Nevertheless, the island of beheone such evolution」(Elzie)

「There’s a theory stating that their evolution ic eleh 」(Touya)

「Density of ic elements?」(Yae)

Elzie and Yae tilt their heads due to the words they rarely hear

It’s said that there are a considerable a upordinary animals It’s for that reason that ic, like the Thunder Bear who shoots thunder

There is a theory that behemoths may show up froic ele ofscattered, so it doesn’t reach that high-density threshold normally However, there are a few places which are said to be the so-called “ic element pools” These include but aren’t lie forests, and places which are defended by nature

As such, one of the questions raised by that theory is the concern that those “ic ele produced

When I asked why those “ic element pools” can produce behemoths, the professor siic elely low, even if the species involved aren’t li water currents or air currents probably won’t have any effect on the density of ic elements

Therefore, the problem lies with the [Island of no return] itself — it’s wholly surrounded by a barrier In other words, there’s no way for the ic elements inside that island to spread outside The dispersion ofthose ic elements since they can only travel as far as the island itself After all, dispersion doesn’t equate to exhaustion

As a result, the island easily becaic element pool I wonder if the island itself is the one that produces those ic element pool], doesn’t it affect huic eleic power capacity allows, so it’s okay, Onee-chan Though I think they’ll becoic elements」(Linzie)

Linzie answers her elder sister’s question In case of ical beasts, it’s not like they will abruptly becoic eleive birth to a behe birth for h it’s natural, a beheeneration since they won’t be able to find a mate aside from the fact that they are h, but the lifespan of er compared to other normal animals

I suppose the proble out here and there without reserve…

It ive birth to a second generation if some of them find a mate froeneration won’t just be another mutation, but it’ll likely be a new species

It looks like the behe the name “monster island” quite accurate I wonder if a silver-colored warrior from space won’t coht for three minutes
