Multiple updates today This is the second one
Before I knew it, I was seated in a white space. A white space with a mysterious blackboard, a desk, and seats. It was that dream.
But, I furrowed my brow.
…My memories before coming here are extremely vague.
After I had squeezed out a large amount of white liquid until Chiyu’s chest was no longer visible. She regained her vitality by casting ‘Basic Healing’ on herself, and then she cast a healing spell on me as well.
Only then did the roles reverse, but Chiyu, who had shown an aggressive initiative that even an evil spirit would envy during her offensive, now shyly guided my hand to her intimate area, which was incredibly cute, and I burned with passion, forgetting how thoroughly I had been squeezed dry.
Despite being a beginner, thanks to my childhood friend’s guidance, I managed to satisfy Chiyu. No, that’s not it.
That’s what triggered Chiyu to switch back into her succubus mode and attack me again. Succubus Chiyu, again.
I don’t remember what happened after that. Probably we both fell asleep together, but I’m scared to think about the morning…
I think we just went to sleep without cleaning up. Probably our bodies and the bed are in a terrible state.
And there was another problem.
Shouko and Fukaho remained bowed and silent.
I can tell by the way her ears are red.
――She knows…!
It seems our new home isn’t very soundproof.
Shion seems to have picked up on something from our reactions, as she’s looking at me with a smile. It’s a knowing, suggestive smile.
“Ah, right, we’re supposed to wear our uniforms when we come here.”
I try to change the subject. Thinking back, I wore my uniform yesterday too, but I didn’t notice.
“Hmm. I think we’re supposed to come here in the clothes we were wearing the first time we came.”
“That’s true. If I call them out in their pajamas, it might be a bit awkward for some people.”
Shion’s words made Shouko and Fukaho twitch.
I flinched too.
“Hmm. Indeed, some people sleep naked. For those people, it’s a relief not to be seen naked by their friends.”
Chiyu remained expressionless as usual.
“Hey, everyone! There’s text on the blackboard!”
I didn’t mean to divert the topic, but that’s how it came out. However, it was also the truth.
“Day Two has ended.”
“Explanation of the Survival Bonus will now begin.”
「Survival Bonus?」
At my voice, everyone’s eyes focused on the blackboard.
『・About the Survival Bonus For each day you survive on the main island, your ‘lifespan’ will increase by one day. However, this does not guarantee survival, so please be careful. (The survival days will be added each day you visit this room)』
“Lifespan increases…?”
Fukaho voiced her disbelief. Everyone probably felt the same way.
That means we could die from accidents or murder, and if that’s the case, suicide is also possible. If there’s a limit to how long we can survive, then that limit has been extended by a day. Since it’s now the second night, our lifespan has been extended by two days. It’s an incredible thing, but I can’t quite grasp its significance. ‘Explanation of the death penalty begins.’ A bonus for surviving and a penalty for dying…? ‘About the death penalty: If you die from combat, accidents, or illness on the main island, you lose 100 points. If you choose to die yourself or kill another player, ending their survival activity, you lose 1825 points. Please note that your points can also be calculated negatively.’
If your total points are negative at the time of death, you will fall into a coma-like state upon returning to Earth.
”…Fall into a coma?”
”…Even if you die, you still return to Earth?”
“I, I don’t get it…”
“This is like a game, where if you die, it’s game over and you can return to Earth?”
”…It’s not fair to explain the penalty but not the points.”
Chiyu, Shouko, Shion, and Fukaho, along with me, all react to the mysterious blackboard’s announcement.
[We will now explain the points.]
[• Points We will observe your activities on the island and evaluate them based on our own criteria.]
However, we cannot answer questions regarding the evaluation criteria. Furthermore, we cannot disclose the total number of points earned at this time.
“Hey, I’m totally lost here!”
Shouko shouted.
“In other words, the points are like money. The mystery blackboard monitors us and gives us points as compensation. However, if you die, a penalty is deducted from your points.”
“If Shoko-chan had ten points and died in an accident, the result would be minus ninety points.”
“I don’t know how we’ll get back to Earth, but when we do—Shoko-chan will be unconscious for ninety days.”
“If someone’s death, including suicide, results in ‘1825’ points, that’s five years. The number doesn’t seem to include leap years, so it’s probably based on a five-year prison sentence for murder.”
The numbers seem to be loosely based on Japanese law.
”…I get that, but. Isn’t it bad for everyone to use me as an example!?”
Shouko’s eyes welled up with tears. Maybe she was scared of being used as an example of dying or not dying.
“This kind of announcement at this timing…”
“Can be interpreted as a way to give us hope of living while encouraging us not to kill or die,” Fukaho said.
Fukaho responded to my muttering.
Furthermore, this gathering tonight might also be an attempt to motivate us to continue living on the desert island. If we can get through today, we might find an answer or something new will be added.
To make us think that way and observe us for a longer time.
“But how do we get back without dying?!”
“There is a way to return to the state before this situation began, but it has not been unlocked for you at this time. Please look forward to future updates.”
“That’s the second time I’ve heard that today!”
“Question: What are the necessary additions to our water source and mine for our future survival?”
“Water Source/Mine”
“Don’t ignore me!”
Shouko stood up and shouted. I could understand how she felt…
“Calm down, Shouko. He only says what he wants to say. If you have a question, ask something he hasn’t answered yet.”
Thanks to Shion, we learned three things yesterday. This class transfer is like a game to the mystery blackboard. It won’t tell us about the other survivors.
And once again, thanks to Shouko’s words, I was reminded that a way to return home exists.
Today, we also have a survival bonus, a death penalty, and a point system.
“Yeah, as Sousuke-kun said. Once the voting ends, we’ll be kicked out of here, so if there’s anything you want to ask, you should do it now—”
‘[The vote has ended due to a majority being reached. Voting is now closed.]’
‘[Starting from the third day, the number of “water sources” placed in the environment will increase.]’
“Of course. Today’s binary choice is too simple for anyone else.”
Fukaho’s words were spot-on.
We have ‘Crafting Abilities,’ so we can produce vast amounts of water from seawater, even for bathing.
But for a normal high school student stranded on a desert island, securing drinking water is not easy. When told that the number of water sources on the island would increase on the second night, they would have no hesitation in doing so.
Anyway, the voting is over.
“Is something going on…!?”
“Um, um, oh, what happens if we return with a positive point balance!?”
“If we can return, when exactly would we return? A whole class disappearing would be a huge problem, and even if we did return, it could disrupt our lives afterward.”
”…What happens to our memories of this island when we return?”
“Ah, fluffy! Hey, what about the power we got on the island!? I don’t want to say goodbye to Mashiro!”
“If you return with a positive point balance, you’ll receive a separate bonus. I can’t provide the specifics right now.”
“You’ll revert to the state before this situation began. In other words, no time will have passed on Earth.”
“It’s possible to retain your memories of the island upon returning, but there are specific conditions that must be met. I can’t provide the specifics right now.”
“It’s possible to retain the abilities you gained on the island upon returning, but there are specific conditions that must be met. I can’t provide the specifics right now.”
「We have to survive here for how long?」
『I can’t answer regarding the observation period』
