We headed to the living room after finishing our inspection of the house.
There, we made plates for each room.
I wrote my name on a rectangular board and used flax for the string. “Mine looks like this.”
When Chiyou wrote ‘Chiyou (Primary Wife)’ on hers, the air seemed to crackle for a moment… but everyone started making their plates to their liking.
Shouji and Shoubu were particular about the shapes of their plates, while I generated heart-shaped and star-shaped boards as requested.
On a whim, I made a witch hat-shaped plate for Shenpo.
“Shenpo, what about this? If you don’t like it, I can make a regular one.” ”…No, I’m happy with it.”
Seeing Shenpo smile with her lips trembling, Shouji said, “Ah, I should have asked Sou to make mine…” and slumped her shoulders.
“I wonder if Shouji should have a plate with Fenrir or a dragon on it.”
“T, that’s true…! I like both equally, so I’ll go with a heart this time.” “Haha, that’s right.”
While there are no phantoms coming into the house, if they saw the plates, the one not chosen might feel a little down.
As I was talking with Shouji, Shion looked like she was feeling left out.
I guess they think that a plate symbolizing my ability to detect lies wouldn’t be of any use.
After a moment of thought, I generated a circular plate and drew a small circle at the bottom. ”…Sōsuke-kun, what’s that?”
“This is Shi-on’s plate. It’s like a ‘mouth of truth.’”
I imagined that if you put your hand in the mouth, a liar wouldn’t be able to pull their hand out… or something like that.
I thought of Shi-on’s ability to see through lies.
When she received it, Shi-on blinked her eyes.
”…Hehe, thank you. I’m happy.”
Shi-on made a face that looked like she was crying and laughing at the same time. It didn’t seem like she had made a mistake in her choice… but…
“But, Sōsuke-kun, I’m the opposite.” “The opposite?”
“Because you’re the honest one, I can’t escape from it.”
Saying that with a mischievous smile, Shi-on was incredibly cute.
It was so powerful that my face flushed red without me even realizing it.
「Our Sou-kun is so attractive that his harem might not be limited to this desert island.” Chiyou mutters something.
By the way, Roa, Yumika, and Lumina-sensei are using the same ordinary plates as me.
They were labeled with ‘Maid Waiting Room’, ‘Dream World Seina’, and ‘Tanbi’ respectively.
Once we finished generating the plates for the ‘Library’ and ‘Game Room’, we proceeded to hang them in their respective rooms. After that, it was lunchtime.
We went outside and set up the tools, then cooked various things on the stone plates.
Not only were there grilled pork, but also okonomiyaki and yakisoba today.
As a growing boy, I was very happy with the menu, but how did the girls react?
“Huh? Wow! Eating that menu outside makes it feel like a festival, and it raises my spirits!”
Shoubu’s eyes were sparkling. “I understand, I understand.” Even Shouki was in agreement. I felt the same way.
One of the scents that drifts through the air during festivals is the smell of sauce.
And now, it was wafting around us.
Lumina-sensei, continuing from breakfast, was impressed and said, “Amazing, Yumika-san.”
By the way, Loa was helping with the cooking too.
I would like to help out sometimes, but the part that affects the taste is Shi-on’s territory, and Loa is incredibly reliable when it comes to support, so I rarely get the chance.
Actually, Loa’s movements are at a special ability level, and it looked like she had several bodies working at once.
She moved swiftly, cooking the okonomiyaki and yakisoba without overcooking them.
“Sure, the ingredients themselves are fine, but it’s impossible to make these sauces and seasonings alone on a desert island, so I’m really impressed.”
Dream World said while eating the yakisoba bit by bit with a small mouth.
“That’s thanks to everyone’s exploration and Tsukasa-kun’s ability.”
“Well, at first we only had salt.”
“No, Koyo, salt is amazing too! We were stuck with nothing for a while!” Suzume shouted with a face showing her struggles.
Their base was far from the sea. Walking there was tough, and there were guys who would harass them, so they couldn’t get salt.
They got some fruit and secured sweetness, but that alone would be tough.
I gave them some seasonings this time around, so they should be able to enjoy various flavors.
「Just sprinkling some salt on the mushrooms makes a huge difference, doesn’t it? We gradually added more food and seasonings from there, and it was tough but also fun, wasn’t it?」 Shouji said thoughtfully.
「I agree, but… Shouji-san, the way you’re talking makes it sound like it’s all over.」 Shinbo chuckled.
「You all went through so much…」
Luminas Sensei looked like she might cry, imagining our struggles.
Since she had seen how Shou and the others were doing, she could probably imagine what kind of life the students were living.
「In order to repay the kindness of being rescued from such hardship, I will serve you with all my heart from now on.」 The maid, Roa, declared.
Considering that she had been wandering alone in the forest for five days, I could understand why she was so grateful for rescuing us.
「So-kun, what are you going to do this afternoon?」
「Hmm. I’ll look for things that could be used as coloring agents for cosmetics while exploring.」 「Yay!」 Zoubu jumped up and down in excitement.
Zoubu was particularly excited, but the other girls were fidgeting too.
「Ah, I think we should split into groups. One group will explore, and the other will look for girls.」 「Harem reinforcements?」
「No, I said there are three girls who haven’t met up with anyone yet, right? I want to find them and bring them to the Shou team. Considering the boys’ situation, I think it would be safer to do that.」
Everyone agreed with that opinion.
“Kouno-kun…! You’re so great…!”
Probably because I was the one who suggested searching for the girls, Lumina-sensei looked at me with shining eyes.
“Then, can we use Mikron’s power?” “Of course!” “Of course, of course!”
Shoubu continued where Shouko left off.
“Hey, Uruchi! Don’t go off like that!” “Hahaha” Shoubu was already fitting in.
Like that, lunch went on cheerfully. In the afternoon, it was time for exploration.
