Me and Lumina-sensei after getting out of the bath.
Lumina-sensei even dried my body with a towel.
It was so thorough that it felt surreal.
After using a hair dryer to dry my hair.
“Okay, all done. Hair this length dries pretty quickly, doesn’t it?”
Lumina-sensei stroked my hair with a playful expression.
“Thanks. I can see how tough it must be for you Lumina-s.”
“Yeah. I even thought about cutting it off, but…”
She glanced at me through the mirror.
I somehow felt like I knew what she wanted to hear.
“Short hair would look good too, but I think this length suits you really well.”
While a human might be able to say that casually, I still felt nervous.
But she smiled as if she had gotten the right answer.
“Since you say so, Sō-chan, I’ll stay like this.” The distance between us was like that of a couple.
If I hadn’t been transported to this desert island, I wouldn’t have seen her like this.
“――Then, Kojino-kun, please go upstairs first.” “A-All right.”
Suddenly, she reverted to her teacher tone.
I wonder if she changes her way of speaking when such actions develop.
Honestly, both teachers are attractive, so I’m personally happy.
“Well, thank you very much.”
“Ugh… T-Thank you too, Kojino-kun. You’ve helped me a lot… I’m really grateful. Good night.” “Good night.”
I left the changing room and quietly closed the door.
Then, I heard a voice from behind.
“Ahhhh… I-I’m so embarrassed. Was it okay to do that? You did give me permission… right? But it was so big… I-I wonder if it really fits…? Since it fit inside the petite Dr. Yama-san, it should be fine… But what am I thinking…!”
I don’t think she’s aware that I can hear her clearly from the other side of the door.
I decided it would be kinder not to disturb her and crept up the stairs silently.
On the way, I thought I heard a heart-wrenching moan coming from the changing room…
I held back the urge to turn back and climbed the stairs.
When I reached the second-floor hallway, someone was waiting for me. “Yo, Kouno.”
It was the black girl, Shoubu Rinna, in her woolen pajamas.
Her pajama pants are short and baggy, so at first glance it looks like she’s not wearing anything underneath, but she’s actually wearing them properly. “Rinna, what’s up?”
I was actually quite nervous inside.
I had heard her talking to Shinpo during dinner and from what Lumina had said earlier, I figured there was still something going on.
“Oh, it’s fine if you call me Rinna.”
“Sure, then I’ll call you Sou.”
“I want to give you a nickname… Sou… Soupon… Sousu… Sauce?” “Please don’t.” “Aw, fine then… Sou.” I’m glad she gave up.
They were about to be called by a nickname that sounded delicious when applied to food. “Wanna stop by the game room?” “Yeah, sure…”
By the way, our lighting is switched to Professor Lumina’s ‘Lighting Magic’.
There are floating light balls in the ceilings and hallways of each room.
This magic is very excellent, and in addition to lighting, when combined with solar panels, it could generate power even at night.
We walked down the bright hallway to the game room.
There were billiards tables, ping pong tables, poker tables, table soccer, regular tables, and darts, but there were still quite a few things missing.
“I was thinking, do you want to do bowling?”
“Ah… Yeah, I can probably make it with my ability.”
It would be difficult to set up a bowling alley in this game room, but we could just make one outside.
I could use my storage and rearrangement ability to handle the bowling balls and pins.
The more I use my ability, the more I can do, but in my case, the distance I could store and rearrange was also increasing.
Anyway, bowling seems like a fun and easy way for everyone to enjoy, and I think it’s a pretty good idea. “See? Isn’t it great?”
「Now that we have more food stored, we could increase our free time and take a break too.」
I’ve thought about this before, but even if we cut our exploration sessions from twice a day to once, we should still be able to live comfortably.
I doubt we’d get in trouble if we used our free time to have fun.
Considering we’ll be returning to Earth eventually, it might be useful to exercise, improve our sports skills, or study.
After all, our physical condition will be carried over when we return.
「Hey! Isn’t that great? I want to try this first.」
Rumeka was interested in table football.
Some people might have seen it in an overseas drama.
The field and players are contained within the table.
The player figurines are attached to sticks that pierce through the table.
By spinning the sticks, the figurines spin too.
We place a ball on the field, and then all we have to do is spin the sticks to try and knock the ball into the opponent’s goal.
Maybe there were more complex rules, but that was all I knew. “Want to give it a try?”
“What if I got a point and could ask a favor of you?”
“I’m okay with that, but how about you, Minato?”
“Are you worried that I’ll ask for something perverted? If I did, I wouldn’t have been able to make this harem.”
It was nice to be trusted, but the reasons behind it were complicated. I smiled wryly. “Alright… let’s start!”
Minato placed the ball herself and immediately started spinning the stick. I was a moment too slow. “Hey, isn’t that cheating?”
“Nuh-hah-hah! No rules!”
She meant there were no rules. “Hmph…! I’ll show you!”
It was a simple game, but that made it easy to understand and get into. “Hah-hah! I’m not done yet!”
Minato’s stick handling was so skillful that it was hard to believe she was a beginner, and I was quickly pushed into a corner.
I managed to block the goal a few times, but eventually she got through.
“Yay! Goal…! I got the first point!”
Rumeka bounced up and down in joy, causing her chest to sway and her skirt to lift, revealing a glimpse of her brown belly button.
I felt pretty disappointed… Let’s do it again… But before that, there was something I wanted to ask.
When I said that, Rumeka’s cheeks turned red. “Y-Yeah…”
She seemed nervous.
I could tell the atmosphere had changed, and I started to feel nervous too.
She lifted the hem of her wool robe, spreading it out, and looked at me. “Can you come in here?” “Hm?”
I didn’t quite get it. 5 days until the book release!
