1: Now what? It'll take two days to get back...
2: I'm sure it'll rot...it's pretty hot now...
3: I guess it'd be better to cook it?
4: This is bad.
5: If I can't take home this meat I worked so hard to get, then what was the point of all this?
6: Smoke...
7: In a place like this...?
8: Someone's nearby?!
9(2b): Oh yeah...that doesn't mean it's someone I know. In fact, it probably isn't.
10: What should I do?
11(2b): I'll go see...and be careful.

94)
1: I thought it'd be closer, but...
2: I'm not there yet?
3: A...a house...a field!??
4: Impossible...there are people living here!?
5: There's even a dog.
6: Don't tell me there are actually people living here.
7: Weren't we the first ones...!? What's going on!!?
8: Oh yeah!
9: They may be people who survived...!!
10: E...excuse meee.
11: excuse me!
12: Someone...

95)
1: Uwahhh!!
2: Wha...!?
3: Wh...who is it?!?!
4: Y-y-y...
5(2b): W-what did you come to steal!? I'm not giving you anything!!
6: Not a single thing!
7: Wha? ...eh?
8: I-I...um...
9: Sh...
10: wahh
11: I-I hunted a deer...! Nearby...
12: Then I saw s-smoke and...
13: D-deer!?
14: You hunted one...? No way...
15: I...I'm telling the truth...

96)
1(2b): Wh...where is the m-meat...? All by yourself?!
2(2b): Yes...I managed to hunt it, but can't carry it back to everyone by myself...
3: F-friends?! You have friends here?!
4: Ah...yes, they've settled near the port.
5: But it'll rot before I carry it back...
6: I have to do something--...
7: In that case, just smoke it.
8: Smoke?
9: W-want me to teach you?!
10: Eh?
11: I-in return,
12: G-give me a little
13: o-of the meat!!
14: O...
15: okay.
16: But...wow.

97)
1: You got it with that bow? You made that?
2: Eh? Yes...
3: That's awesome! I m-made one out of bamboo, but I couldn't get any birds.
4(2b): Bamboo is too soft...you can layer them and make it strong, but it's difficult. I went and found flexible wood and then made one.
5: Hmm...you sure know a lot.
6(2b): Man, i-it's been so long since I've had meat!! I can hardly wait...I set traps, but they never fall for them.
7: This guy living here--...
8: He cheerfully spoke with me a lot as he skillfully cut off the meat, making his original threatening attitude seem like a joke...
9: How long has he been living on this island for?
10: It must have been a while since he's spoken with anyone...
11: Alright, looks like that's it.
12: L-let's take this to the shed.
13: Wow, man!! Minus the stomach*, we've got 30kg! (*the weight minus the intestines)
14: This way, this way! We'll hang it and then smoke it from the bottom.
15: H-hey, move it!
16: Here we are.
17: P
18: puppies?!

98)
1: Yeah...they keep increasing. Wanna gut a few as well?!
2: Ehhh!!?
3: We've got no choice! I have no room to keep this many, and if I let them go, they'll become wild and then it'll be too dangerous to go up to the mountain!!
4: B-but...
5: More importantly, let's hurry up and hang this.
6: O-okay.
7: And take off its back legs with that knife.
8: OK.
9: Alright!
10: It's smart to mix in green wood.
11: That way the fire doesn't get too high!
12: Smoking it for one night should be enough.
13: Really?
14(2b): But...h...how much can I have...?
15: Ah...okay then, how about half...
16: Reallyyyyyy!!?
17: Yes...it'd be too heavy to try and take any more over the mountain...
18(2b): That's true! OK...ok, but...th-thank you.
19: You're welcome.

99)
1: In...in return,
2: A-a dog! Please give me a dog.
3: Eh?
4: A dog...?
5: You wanna eat one?
6: No.
7: C'mon.
8: Come...

100)
1: OK, you!
2: Let's go back together!
3: I-if you're gonna eat it, you should let it get a bit bigger.
4: Wheeeew!
5: Boy did that hit the spot! It's been so long!!
6: It's been a while...since I've had real vegetables.
7: Thank you very much.
8: Can I ask you something?
9: Sure?
10: H...how long have you guys been here? And how many...
11: I don't know for sure...probably around fifty or sixty...at first.
12: 60...?! That many...?
13: That's bad...that's really bad...

101)
1: Ahhhh, it's gonna start again...the killing, the stealing...horrible t-tragedies...
2: T-they're gonna come here too!! S...sixty whole people...
3: ...are you alright...?
4: Y-you're young...how old are you?
5: What are you talking about? Killing...?
6: How old?!
7: ?...20...
8(2b): You're that young? W-what d-did you do...
9: What did I...huh...?
10: D-don't play dumb!!!
11: H-hold on a second...
12: Get away from me!!!
13: H-how many people did you kill?! At such a young age...
14: Kill...
15: You wouldn't be sent here for any small number!!!

102)
1: Not...
2: to this no man's island...!!
3: No man's...island?!
