Multiple updates today, this is the second one.
Three girls are illuminated by the faint moonlight filtering through the window in the dim room. “As expected of Saku, perfect.”
“It’s really warm. I was feeling chilly after moving away from the fire, so this is nice.”
“Yeah, this fluffy stuff is really nice. I’m glad I followed Suguru’s advice and called the sheep.”
If we’re talking about outfits, the school uniform is definitely cuter.
But the sight of the three beautiful girls enveloped in the white fluffy blankets is also quite nice.
I’m happy to see them enjoying the items I created.
“I’m glad. If the size isn’t right, just let me know.”
“Phew. Saku, it’s time to sleep.”
My childhood friend yawned slightly, opening her mouth. “Ah, yeah. Right.”
She leads me by the hand to the end of the room.
“It’s still not time for the harem to be unleashed yet today.”
We ended up sleeping in the order of me, Senyuu, Shouko, and Shion.
“By the way, I didn’t aim for it.”
It can’t be denied that it’s a man’s dream.
By the way, since we laid out a carpet, we made it a rule that no one could enter the cabin with shoes on. Everyone is barefoot.
I don’t think an intruder would just steal our shoes, but I put them in my ‘Inventory’ just in case.
We’ll need to expand our base tomorrow.
Every time I go in and out, it would be inconvenient, so we might need a storage room. No, first and foremost, we need food.
”…I wasn’t sure what would happen, but I’m glad I got to meet Souzou. I never imagined I’d get a bath, food, a house, pajamas, and blankets in the middle of the forest. Thanks a lot, really.” Shouko’s voice is heard. “Shouko, thank you for the sheep.” “Me?”
“Senyuu-sama’s healing magic is truly impressive.”
“Mm. Sou’s ‘Crafting Ability’ is also impressive.”
Saying that, my childhood friend reached out from the futon and held my hand.
I silently returned the gesture, holding her hand gently.
「…I have to work hard to be useful too.」
I could have sworn I heard Shion’s whispering voice…
Even with healing magic, the body still needs sleep, and we were reaching our limit.
We didn’t even have the energy to chat like we were on a school trip; we fell asleep. The first day on the desert island was over. ◇ It was a dream.
In a completely white space, a blackboard was floating.
It was very similar to the dream I had seen recently.
The difference was that there were only four seats.
One for me, Chiyu, Shokushi, and Shion. “Sou-kun…”
Chiyu, who was sitting next to me, reached out her hand, and I gently held it.
She must have been scared by the sudden transfer. I understood how she felt, but I had to think clearly now.
“We’ll know if this is just a dream or not when we wake up and talk to everyone.”
“Yeah, Sou-kun is right. We were probably called here because we’re all acting together.”
「What happened to everyone else?」 Shokichi also looks worried.
「I think it’s because if they called everyone, they’d share information.」
「I agree. When we first gathered in class, it felt like they were testing us on how we would act with that information. I briefly considered the possibility of going to a desert island as a group, and you, Kousuke-kun, even reached out to Senyuu-chan just before the transfer.」
In the midst of being suddenly questioned by the mysterious blackboard, how we thought and prepared to answer was the first test.
「…And they probably don’t want us to all meet in a dream because they want us to survive on the island individually.」 I nod in agreement with Senyuu’s summary.
「Probably. Even though we don’t know the full extent of the island, forty people would gather a lot of information, and we could make plans to meet up after waking up from the dream. It’s not going to be easy, though.」
By transferring us separately, they must be expecting something from our individual actions.
Even if it’s just for the sake of play, there’s a reason they did it separately.
I won’t be the one to ruin that intention.
「…Kousuke and Shin-chan are still a mess.」
「If there are others who have formed groups, they might be called as a group too.」
「Yeah, that’s probably it. The question is, what’s the purpose of the mysterious blackboard?」 The four of us look at the blackboard.
The words appear on the blackboard. “The first day has ended.”
“Question. Meat and fish, which is necessary for our survival?” “Meat/Fish” ――Another question!
It’s infuriating, but I can understand the situation to some extent.
Today, I hardly saw any animals or small creatures at all, and this explains that.
If we assume that whoever answers correctly will receive something, then it’s possible that we won’t get anything today.
Maybe hunting or fishing today didn’t yield any results.
”…So, this. I guess this isn’t about getting meat or fish as a gift, right?” The servant’s face is twitching.
“Yeah. I think it will create a ‘wild animal with edible meat’ or ‘fish with edible flesh’ on the desert island based on the answer.”
Even though I sound ridiculous saying it, that’s probably what will happen.
Maybe it’s time to give up on the idea that we’re somewhere on Earth.
”…Ah, the other kids’ answers seem to be reflected too.”
As Shion said, the character for “correct” is forming next to both “meat” and “fish.”
I think fish would be more feasible as food for amateurs, but…
Despite that, the appeal of the word “meat” seems to be too strong, as it’s winning the vote. “What do we do?”
It’s nice that we can even discuss this as a party.
“Shokichi. Mashiro, would you hunt for us if we asked?”
“Huh? Yeah, actually, I was bored because nothing happened today.”
I see, even that much. You really are a tamer.
Well, in our case, we might be better off with fish. I know where the sea is, but we haven’t found any rivers yet. And depending on the type of animal, hunting might be difficult…
But before we could reach a conclusion, the vote for “meat” had already reached twenty-one.
“Since the majority has been exceeded, the voting is now closed.”
“From the second day onwards, ‘meat’ will be added to the environment.”
“Oh, right. It’s obvious when you think about it…”
Since we can’t control the voting speed of others, we need to make a decision quickly. Still, it was too fast.
Do none of you think more deeply about this? I don’t think three minutes have passed yet.
Perhaps, due to hunger or frustration, more students are unable to think clearly.
Since you don’t think you’ll get a chunk of meat, maybe you should be more cautious.
“Wait a minute! What’s your goal? How do you get back to Japan? And are everyone else okay?”
Based on the previous sequence of events, when your purpose is fulfilled, the dream ends.
That’s why, in a flustered voice, Shion spoke up.
I thought for sure I would be ignored. But letters dance across the blackboard.
‘I have no purpose. If you force me to say something, it would be for amusement or to pass the time.’
I had expected this, but it’s a nasty pattern.
Maybe it would have been better if he had said something like, “If you kill the Demon King, I’ll send you back to Earth.”
In this case, it’s no different from being spirited away to another world.
Thinking that it’s better than being forced into a death game is probably too positive.
There is a way to return to the state before this situation began, but you have not been released yet. Please wait for the next update.
It’s fine to use a game as an analogy, but it feels a bit weird when someone else actually says it.
It’s great that we’re seeing a way to return, but we don’t know what additional elements will come before then.
If someone asks about “meat/fish” or “goblins/kobolds,” it’s certain that monsters will be added.
“I cannot answer regarding the survivors.”
The voting system allows the number of survivors to be counted.
Moreover, if the number exceeds half, the voting is closed, so the number of people who have dropped out can be inferred.
Originally, there were forty people, so twenty-one votes are needed to determine a side.
Since that’s how it was today, we know everyone is alive.
If it had been sixteen votes, the total number of survivors would be thirty, meaning ten people have died—or have fallen into some situation where they can’t vote.
Even if we know the numbers, it’s another matter whether they are still healthy. I look at Shion.
I wanted to know if her ability to detect lies had worked.
Shion shook her head. That means it didn’t work. Well, that’s to be expected.
I can’t activate the ‘Craft Ability’ either.
In this dream space, our abilities can’t be used. ‘The second day begins.’
“Wait! I’m not done—”
Shion’s scream was in vain as our vision was enveloped in white.
We were being ejected from the dream. And when we woke up. ——This is…?
My face was pressed against something soft. It was Chiyu’s chest.
We managed to enter the second day!
Please continue to enjoy the island life of Sōsuke and the beautiful girls.
There’s still more to come, and I plan to update today, so
please cheer for me!!!!
