Today, multiple updates. This is the third. Well, it’s morning on the third day.
Being wrapped up in a futon with Chiyu is honestly blissful.
But the moment I wake up, I can smell something foul.
Any man knows that it’s the lingering odor from the liquid he releases.
I got out of bed and opened the window to air out the room first.
I could just store and reconfigure my clothes and bedding to clean them up, but the problem is the person. “Sou-kun…”
「Chiyu, good morning. And sorry…」
Rubbing her eyes, my childhood friend sat up, revealing her nude body.
I couldn’t help but look at her two ripe fruits, but her skin was covered in something sticky.
Sniffing, Chiyu said,
「…It might be a bit out of your sexual preferences, but I feel like saying ‘it stinks…’」
It wasn’t exactly her type, but it still made my heart skip a beat.
Especially, the fact that she didn’t seem to mind even though she said it smelled bad tickled my sense of being accepted.
“Let’s wipe our bodies with towels first. Then, Senyuu, you’ll need a bath, right?”
Well, I need one too, but Senyuu needs it the most.
We set out buckets of water and towels and wiped ourselves down.
Then we put away and rearranged our costumes. I did the same with my bedding.
Now, at first glance, everything looks clean, and the room’s foul odor has been greatly reduced.
By the way, if I use ‘Purify’, I can disinfect, but everyone wants to take a bath.
Well, bathing isn’t just about getting clean, and I’m not averse to baths, so that’s fine.
Anyway, Senyuu probably wants to take a bath too.
Senyuu purified my room for me.
Thanks to that, the bedroom looks clean enough that you wouldn’t think it was as dirty as it was yesterday. I’m grateful for both the skill and the magic.
“Want to come down with me? I can get the bath ready right away.”
「Hmm. If we’re going, we should go together. It’ll save time.」
「S-Sure. But the bath isn’t finished yet, is it?」 「A tub is enough.」 「You’re right.」
First, I sneak out of the room.
After confirming that no one is around, I beckon Senyuu.
Once I’m in the hallway, I can just pretend we ran into each other.
「Sou-kun, I don’t think you can pull that off.」 Senyuu’s calm observation cuts in. 「…I know.」
「Besides, there’s no need to hide it.」 「…Maybe, but…」 「Or do you want to hide it?」
「No, it was a really happy thing for me, and I don’t want to hide it.」 「I’m glad.」
Senyuu lets out a relieved-sounding voice.
「But, I feel like I shouldn’t be so proud about it.」 「That’s so like you, Sou-kun.」
We head down the stairs together to the bath.
Though, it’s supposed to be an outdoor bath.
The room has a screen placed in the middle, and the floor is covered with stone tiles made from the material called “stone.” This was easy to set up using the “placement” function.
The surface is smooth, so it’s comfortable to walk on. Then, we set up the bathtub.
Inside, we placed the leftover water from yesterday.
Although it’s called leftover water, the dirt from clothes and hair, as well as the oils, are lost during storage, so it’s just clean water.
After the four of them, I also got in, so it’s not scalding hot, but it’s still a good temperature for washing.
Feeling intimidated by Senyuu confidently stripping, we both washed our bodies with soap and rinsed with the water.
「It’s nice to take a bath in the morning, but if you spend too much time, Shi-on’s breakfast will be ready.」
Shion, who had become the head chef, had taken over all the cooking for our household.
Of course, she would help out if the situation required more people or if someone wanted to assist.
「Y-Yeah, I guess. I’ve washed my body, so I’ll go.」 Chiyu gently took my hand.
「But, Sou-kun’s ‘Sou-kun’ seems to have a different opinion.」 「Ugh.」
I had reacted while looking at Chiyu’s naked body.
「Should I go in a little bit?」
Chiyu lifted her own chest while saying that.
She must mean it both literally and figuratively. 「…Yeah, let’s do it.」
「Then, So-kun, sit on the edge.」
I sat on the edge of the bath, creating a footbath situation.
Chiyu then entered the bath between my legs, pushing her breasts closer.
「You didn’t get tired of it after what we did yesterday?」 「I doubt I’ll ever get tired of it.」
Chiyu looked like she was smiling slightly.
「I’m glad to hear that. I’ll do it for you for the rest of your life.」
After that, I came twice, and we had to hurry up when Shion came looking for me. ◇
In the morning, we ate fried mushrooms and soup.
I had kept the meat in my ‘Inventory’ because I was afraid it would spoil, but since I was busy with Chiyu in the bath, Shion couldn’t ask me to put the meat out, so we ended up eating this. 「E-Everyone, I’m sorry…!」
I apologize to everyone in the dining room of the living room.
“No, don’t worry about it. I should have talked to you earlier too. Besides, there’s a dessert of akebi, so it’s a full meal for a desert island.”
Shion says that with a bitter smile, but…
I remembered that she made breakfast for us, but I forgot about the meat.
“Oh, by the way, it’s fine if you take a morning bath…”
“Yesterday, after a girls’ meeting, I got an explanation and I think I understand it, but… I wonder if it wouldn’t be better to have some self-control?” Shokushi and Shinpo’s faces are red.
“No, really, I’ll be careful. It’s not good to cause trouble for your comrades when living in a group.”
If I don’t control myself, I’ll fall into bad habits. “Sou-kun, that’s not right.”
Chiyu, with her unusually shiny skin, said while munching on a mushroom. “Chiyu?”
“If you think you shouldn’t cause trouble, it will be stressful. Of course, you should aim for the best, but if you make a mistake, just reflect on it and make up for it.”
“Haha, that’s right. If Sou-kun feels better, how about giving us some kind of gift as an apology?”
Shion says mischievously, probably to prevent me from blaming myself further.
「S-Sure. Of course, I’ll be more careful in the future, but I’d like to apologize for this morning. Is there anything you’d like me to make or do for you?」
「Hmm. Ingredients… you always find them when we’re exploring… Ah! Oh, right. It’d be great if you could find something that could be used as a spice.」
「Spice? Like vanilla extract?」
Vanilla is a plant, so it might exist on this desert island. Or it could be planted here in the future.
「Ah, yeah. That’s the kind of thing I meant. It could be used to flavor food, but what I’m really after is an essential oil that can be used for floral scents.」
「You’re making perfume? But you need alcohol for that, right?」
「That’s a shame! What I actually want is scented soap.」
Shion clasped her hands together and spoke wistfully as if imagining the item.
The women reacted to her words.
「Oh, I see. You’re right, the soap in Japan did have scents.」
「The hand soap at S-Suke’s house was citrus-scented, and the body soap was a subtle floral scent.」
「Oh, I see. Thank you for telling me.」
Knowing not only her childhood friend’s sexual preferences but also the soap at her house, too.
Well, since they’re practically family, there were plenty of opportunities to learn.
“Fruits, herbs, trees, flowers, and so on are the sources of the scent, so once you know the details through your ‘Itemization,’ it would be best to choose the ones that work for you. Ah… Of course, only if you plan to make them.”
From her reaction, it seems like she wants one too.
Feeling ashamed for speaking quickly, she looks down.
“Then, how about you and I go exploring today? If you do, I’ll forgive you for this morning. I’m not angry, but if it’s easier for you, I don’t mind.”
“Alright, then let’s do it. I want to look for the scent for you, and I’ll give the soap to everyone else. As for you, Shinfu, what do you want?”
“Eh? W-well, I want to make soap too…”
“No, I’m looking for the scent for Shion’s request, but I’m planning to give the soap to everyone else. So could you ask for something else?”
“T-That’s right… I-I’d be happy if you could come with me to practice magic. …Y-You see, maybe you could ‘Itemize’ something too…”
Looking at her, Shinfu was holding the staff I gave her yesterday.
“If that’s okay, I’d be happy to come along. We could use as many trees as we can find… And rocks are hard to store when they’re buried in the ground, so maybe we could use magic to do something about them…”
「Break it or cut it, huh? Let me think about it.」
「It’ll be a good target, and I’ll ask you to do it as practice. We’ll start with an exploration with Shouko, and then I’ll do magic practice with Shinpo in the afternoon, okay?」
「Oh, let’s have pork steak for lunch!」
Seizing the moment, Shion proposed.
「Steak sounds great! I love how you come up with so many ways to eat it!」
The atmosphere among everyone returned to normal.
「Haha. Oh, I forgot to mention, this living room is lovely, Tsugusa-kun.」
「Yeah! When I came down, I was surprised to find a sofa! It’s super comfortable!」
Indeed, the living room was furnished with a sofa made of linen over a wooden frame. The cushions were made of wool.
「Even without lighting, the large windows let in plenty of light.」 It was nice to hear everyone’s approval of the new home.
「I have a feeling today’s ‘sasusou’ won’t stop.」
By the way, there was no apology for the accomplice, Senyuu.
Well, Chiyu won’t hesitate to ask for what she wants, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
I would’ve liked to talk about the dream from yesterday, but I guess the atmosphere isn’t right because of me.
Breakfast is over, so I’ll just wait until lunchtime.
Fortunately, or rather, the new addition today is the ‘water source,’ which won’t affect our lives much.
And so, the third day begins.
Thank you for spending the day with me today!!
It was thanks to everyone that I was able to maintain first place for the day.
Tomorrow, I’ll be doing all sorts of crafting and getting to know the girls better.
I hope you enjoy the increasingly rich life!!
