A white space with a floating blackboard.
There’s only a desk and chair here, and the ones called are the party members.
That’s me, Senyuu, Shouko, Shion, Shinpo, and Roa, making six.
”…Really, people who are acting together are summoned together.”
Roaa is surprised because she’s never been here with anyone before—except for the first time. ‘The sixth day has ended.’
‘New monsters will be added.’
A tense atmosphere flows when the phrases appear on the blackboard. “――Ah…!”
――It’s finally here…
I had anticipated it before, but to actually see it happen.
This desert island is another world, and the purpose of the mysterious blackboard is to observe us.
They probably don’t want us to live a monotonous life, and want to see how we adapt.
“Right when we get used to living here, they give us new difficulties. They’re mean.”
「Wait, wait. What do you mean by monsters? Like, slimes and goblins and stuff that come out in manga and games?」
「I hadn’t really thought about it, but if Mashiro-kun exists, then there’s a possibility that Fenrir could appear as an enemy monster…」
Shion’s words made Shuko turn pale and say, “Eh?! No way…” with a horrified expression.
「I’m not very knowledgeable about this, but it seems like imaginary creatures might appear on the island…」
「It would be very dangerous for those who don’t have the power to fight, and even those who have secured a base would need to focus on defense.」
While Shinpo and Roa were calm, they had a thoughtful look on their faces. 『・About Monsters
Monsters will be added irregularly.
The monsters that will be placed will be selected by everyone using the “Question” time.
Monsters have ill intentions toward people.
Monsters can be defeated.
Monsters will disappear when they cease to have life.
Those who defeat monsters will receive additional points.』
「Points… Right, if I go back to Japan and my points are positive, I get a bonus, don’t I?」
On the other hand, if they’re negative, I have to sleep for however many days the points indicate as a penalty.
「It’s not just that danger is added, but there’s a reward too. It’s getting dirtier.」
「…Not revealing the details of the points makes me feel that way.」
Shion agrees with Senyuu’s complaint.
「There’s no way around it. If it turned out that you got one point for each monster you defeated, some people would start having dangerous ideas.」
「Huh? Minorin, what do you mean?」 I ask the puzzled Shion.
「Didn’t I mention the penalty earlier?」 「Yeah, so what?」
「Murder, including suicide, is a penalty of minus 1825 points. About five years. If the points for defeating monsters were clear here, someone might figure out the math.」
「C-calculation… You mean, someone would try to kill people and then kill monsters to even it out? That’s…」
Shion’s trusting nature is admirable, but I think it’s necessary to consider the worst-case scenario.
First of all, I just encountered someone who fired a gun in the previous event.
From the other person’s perspective, maybe I’m no different from the one who lowered the stone cage.
“Let’s say just in case. And besides, there are people who might want to use it to commit suicide, right? If you die and return to Earth, you can earn points that nullify the penalty. What then?”
“Ah! So you can go back to Earth with no risk!?”
“That’s right. It’s the same as getting a ‘return right.’”
“N-Nat-ural. So that’s why you don’t go into detail about the points.” It seems even Shouji is satisfied with that explanation.
Since the points earned are unknown and there’s no way to check the total points gained, the participants can’t make a judgment.
They probably intend to treat it as an element that determines whether or not you can get additional bonuses upon clearing.
If it’s one point per goblin, it might be worth fighting, but if it’s just 0.1 points, you won’t feel motivated to actively hunt them.
“Adding monsters themselves is a concern, but does the ‘question’ time refer to the two-choice voting? Then, it means that there will be days when monsters are added instead of days when useful elements are added for us.” Roa’s concern is valid.
The days when only beneficial elements are placed for us are over.
From now on, troublesome things will increase.
“We might have to rely on Mashiro, Mikuron, and Shinho’s power more.” “Yes, leave it to me…”
「Ugh… I know, but there’s nothing we can do about it…」
Shouko must be worried about the summoned beasts. I understand how she feels.
I don’t want them to get hurt either. “What’s the definition of ‘defeat’?” Senyuu asks for confirmation.
“The one who deals the final blow that stops the monster’s life activities will be recognized as the slayer.” “What’s the definition of ‘damage’?” “It refers to any interference that causes injury.”
――While those who can fight have an advantage, this way even non-combatants can earn points.
All you need to do is work together with your teammates to inflict even a small wound on a dying monster with a knife or something.
The person who deals the final blow gets the points.
“What’s the answer? Which is more important for our future lives, soybeans or corn?”
Everyone had been on edge, but they let out a sigh of relief.
It doesn’t seem to be about adding more monsters. “Soybeans / Corn”
Still, every time, she just dives right into the questions without warning…
We haven’t even processed the monster situation yet. ”…It seems different today.”
「They weren’t cruel enough to implement it immediately, huh?」
「Hey everyone, usually we vote for what we like, but can we vote for soybeans today?」 Shion’s expression is serious.
Soybeans are essential for soy sauce and miso, and I can understand why Shion, the head chef, wants them. Actually, we want them too.
We nodded to each other and voted for soybeans.
However, the total number of votes was split, and for a while, corn was in the lead.
From the perspective of the other classmates, it must have been more appealing to be able to eat it right away by roasting or boiling it, compared to soybeans.
“Since the majority has been exceeded, I will close the voting.”
“Soybeans will be placed in the environment starting from the seventh day.” “Good…!”
Shion happily clenched her fists in delight.
It seems soybeans won somehow.
Our six votes probably had an impact.
But it seemed like the number of soybean supporters suddenly increased, was it just my imagination…?
Well, if we continue like this, the seventh day will begin….
We know that we have a short window of time to ask questions on the mystery blackboard.
“I heard that there are conditions to take back the memories we gained on this island, but what about our physical state? Will the injuries we sustain here carry over when we return?”
“Physical information on the main island will be reflected upon return. Wounds, scars, physical abilities, sexual experiences, and pregnancies will be updated as if they had always been there, so please be careful.”
Furthermore, since all mental changes are deeply tied to “memories,” they will not be reflected unless the conditions are met and carried over.
If we were to divide humans into body and mind.
The body would be carried over without any changes and updated to the body on Earth.
The mind can be carried over if the conditions are met. That seems to be the case.
So, will my toned body and increased stamina be carried over?
It’s both a blessing and a little scary….
“Which means condoms were necessary.”
Chiyo muttered, and everyone’s faces turned red. But it was an important point.
If you get pregnant on this island, that pregnancy will carry over.
”…They say that physical information is carried over, but what if I give birth on this island?”
Whether or not I get pregnant, or if I spend the time until the baby is born on this island, was something that Shinhou was curious about.
“The infant is processed as information attached to the mother’s ‘body’ and reflected upon return.
No additional ‘return rights’ are required.”
Right after receiving that answer, my vision was filled with white. ‘Starting Day Seven.’
It’s called “Easygoing Life on a Deserted Island,” so
while there will be action, you can rest assured that monster battles won’t create a dark atmosphere.
