「…There really is a bonus area.」 Yumika murmured.
That’s right. We fell asleep on the seventh night, and our consciousness was summoned to the bonus area.
My first time with Shion was the best, and since we were stuck together until the end, I didn’t even know when I fell asleep.
Having calmed down in the bonus area, Shion’s face is bright red, and she’s covering it with both hands. “Did the ‘pain relief’ work?”
Such Shion, Senyuu was addressing.
”…Y-Yeah. I felt the first sensation, but there was hardly any pain. T-Thank you.”
“Sure. I’ll cast ‘Intermediate Healing’ when you wake up.”
“S-Sure. I think it’s necessary… Hahaha…”
Though the pain was alleviated by magic, the fact that a stick was inserted into her unexperienced secret place is true.
I really am glad Senyuu is here.
“Well, let’s go get the items we decided on beforehand.”
The existence of the bonus area was already shared with Yumika.
And we had also settled on who would take what back.
Since our party consisted of seven people—me, Senyuu, Shozi, Shion, Shinpo, Roa, and Muki—we could take back seven items. “I’ll take a game.”
First, I wanted a game to play on the game console I got yesterday. “I’ll take a shower.”
Senyuu wanted an electric portable shower to use in the bathroom.
It was charged via USB, and since we already had a solar panel, charging wouldn’t be a problem.
If it worked well, we planned to get several of them, just like we did with the hair dryers.
“I’ll take a digital clock. I’ve been inconvenienced by not having one.”
We had been roughly dividing our day into morning and afternoon, but it was indeed easier to know the time.
When coordinating group activities, it was important to decide things like when to eat and when to sleep.
Regarding the time setting itself, the mystery blackboard had once woken us up at five in the morning during the previous event.
If the same thing happened again, we could set the clock to five in the morning when we woke up, and then we would know the time on the desert island.
There might be a few minutes of error, but it wasn’t a big deal in our life on the desert island. “I’ll take a mirror.” Shion wanted a mirror.
It’s actually surprising that mirrors haven’t been a topic of discussion until now, as they are very important items for the women.
We decided to place the full-length mirror horizontally on the changing room table instead of leaving it standing.
This way, multiple people can use the mirror at once. “I’ll choose textbooks today.” Shinpo chose textbooks. That’s two subjects today.
Once life settles down a bit more, it might be good to set aside time for studying.
Or perhaps set aside some free time and have those who want to learn from Shinpo.
“I will choose a rechargeable electric vacuum cleaner.” Roa said modestly.
We have two solar panels, so it’s nice that we can choose electrical appliances.
Is it maid-like that the thing she brings up when she’s told she can choose anything is a vacuum cleaner?
Maybe it’s just her.
”…I’m fine. Thanks to Koino, I have a place to put it here. I don’t want to accumulate debts.” Mugai declined to choose.
We had already decided what to choose for her, since we had heard about this in advance.
Relying on Roa’s abilities, we figured out what Mugai wanted and tried to choose something that wouldn’t burden her. The item was a ‘notebook PC’.
This isn’t enough, so I plan to choose items in the bonus area tomorrow as well.
So, we spent plenty of time exploring and selecting items together today.
We ended up taking a total of seven items.
When the selection was over, my vision went white and I was sent to a pure white space. ◇
When I transferred, everyone was lined up side by side before, but today, only Yumika was seated behind me.
“――Oh. They’re actually setting it up like the real classroom.”
In the classroom, there are seven people in six rows, so it seems they’re following that layout.
With me, Senyuu, Shouko, Shion, Shinpo, and Roa filling up six seats side by side, Yumika must be seated behind me.
”…Well, it’s fine like this.”
“No no, that would make Seirin lonely!”
Saying that, Shouko moved her desk next to hers.
This kind of quick thinking and action is, as expected, Shouko.
“I don’t feel lonely, so I don’t need to make unnecessary movements.”
“Seirina~ is this what they call tsundere?”
“Where have I ever given you any reason to think I’m being doting?”
Mukai glares at her, but Shokko just laughs. ‘The seventh day has ended.’
‘Question: If you were to fight, would you choose Goblin or Arvank?’ ‘Goblin/Arvank’ The classroom is tense.
”… Seriously, a monster is being added.”
Shokko gulps.
“Mm. The combination of goblins and beautiful girls is the worst. It’s a threat to chastity.”
“Well, I know what goblins are since they appear in smartphone games and such… but what are Arvanks?”
“I don’t know either… It seems everyone is confused since no one is voting.” “I am also unfamiliar with it.”
Shion, Shinpo, and Roa seem to be in the dark.
“If they’re listed together, they must both be considered beginner monsters…? Then I think my barrier would be enough to repel them.”
「Let’s ask the mystery blackboard about goblins and arvanks.」 『• About goblins: Ugly little green-skinned imps.
They have the intelligence and strength of a human child.
They are evil creatures that eat both animals and humans.
They live in caves and are only interested in brutal acts and reproduction. ※Note※
If a creature is killed by goblins, it takes twice as long to reconfigure it.
If a transferer is drawn into a goblin nest, they are considered dead, and this results in the number of goblins on the island increasing by a hundred.』 The women fall silent.
For example, if a goblin kills a boar, it would take two weeks to reconfigure it if it was originally supposed to be placed once a week.
This seems to be a setting put in place to justify why transferers actively hunt goblins.
Being considered dead if drawn into a cave is harsh, but it might also be a relief.
It means you won’t actually be subjected to such acts.
However, the negative 100 points for death will still be recorded.
The truly terrifying part is the possibility of being toyed with by goblins before being drawn into the nest. 『• About arvanks: Large beaver-like creatures with blue-black fur.
She has the strength to carry large rocks and claws that can tear open a person’s belly.
She prefers beautiful women, has a violent temper, and eats humans.
She lives near water, builds nests, and hunts fish and humans.
Since there are no fish here, Arvank will only eat humans. “Both are terrible!!” The servant’s cry echoed through the classroom.
“That’s right… This is probably a choice between a monster that lives in a cave and one that lives near water.”
“Hmm. There must be others who use the cave as their base. If we choose goblins, that place could become a monster’s nest.”
“Oh… So if we choose the water, we’ll have to deal with monsters every time we try to get drinking water. This is a choice between those two options, isn’t it?” Chiyou and Shion said.
Goblins who use the cave as their base and will likely appear all over the island.
Arvank who uses the water as her base and will make it difficult to secure drinking water.
“Does Arvank appear in the sea too?”
“Arvank only appears in fresh water.”
The answer to Shinpo’s question was good news for us.
「Master can apparently generate drinking water from seawater.」
「Yeah. So in our case, choosing Arvank is almost no risk.」
We just need to avoid lakes, springs, rivers, and the like.
「…It seems the transferers without Kono are thinking it’s better to be wary of the water’s edge rather than the entire forest.」
The other transferers must have asked questions about the difference in monsters, because the votes for Arvank were increasing.
「Alright, let’s vote for Arvank too.」
The women nodded, and seven votes were cast for Arvank all at once.
『The voting is now closed as the majority has been exceeded.』
『Starting on the eighth day, the environment will be set to “Arvank.”』
『Please note that the defeated monster will be repositioned on the tenth day.』
「…Hey. What if I enclose the water’s edge with my barrier?」
『It is not possible to designate the space where a monster exists as the barrier range.』
However, after the monsters have been exterminated, it is possible to designate the barrier range during the period until they are repositioned.
Furthermore, in this case, the repositioning of monsters within the barrier range will not occur. This is also good news.
By wiping out all of Arvank from one of the water sources and then enclosing it with a barrier, the repositioning will stop.
In other words, we will have a safe water source.
While going to the sea is an option, having multiple ways to secure water is better.
“Is it possible to defeat the monsters with the abilities we’ve been given?”
“It is possible to defeat the monsters by choosing and using the abilities given upon transfer.”
In other words, the Attribute Magic from the Deep Magic also works, and dropping items from my ‘Inventory’ is also effective.
If someone has abilities that can be used in battle, they should be able to counter the monsters as well.
While it would be a lie to say I’m not concerned about those who don’t, I can’t extend a hand to everyone.
I should prioritize the safety of my comrades. ‘Starting the eighth day.’ The vision turns white.
When I wake up, I’ll be on a desert island in a monster-infested other world. I often mention this in the afterword.
It’s called “Easy Island Life,” so
you can read it with the attitude that “the main characters will be fine no matter what difficulties they face.”
It’s a story where Tsukasa and his friends will easily overcome the harsh life on a desert island.
It’s designed to be reassuring.
