When it comes to Suzu Koh Ryouka, she’s the class representative among the girls.
Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also well-rounded in both academics and sports.
She’s a beautiful girl who seems to have been blessed with everything.
I wasn’t in her sights when we were in the same class, though I wasn’t exactly humble.
No, saying it this way might make her sound bad.
Anyway, she never took any notice of me.
But, after being transferred to an desert island in another world and gaining the ability to craft, I became an important person on the island.
Just that alone makes it understandable why she wants me. But it’s as a talent.
Just now, she kissed me.
I recognize the light in her eyes.
It’s similar to the glow I get from my lovers. If I’m not mistaken, it’s love.
Fortunately, or perhaps not, the only one who witnessed the kiss from Seika was Serina.
「Then, please discuss this matter with the other members as well. Of course, including me.」
About the plan to send back everyone except the trustworthy members.
And about the feelings that Seiko has toward me.
After watching me nod awkwardly, Seiko left the spot.
For a while, I watched her with my eyes and saw her giving orders to her own members.
Upon receiving her instructions, the girls moved without hesitation, like a well-coordinated group.
It’s probably due to the power of her ‘charisma,’ but her own qualities must also be a significant factor.
As I thought that, I noticed that Seirina was unusually quiet.
She’s usually cool, but seeing her boyfriend kissing Suzuou, she should be reacting more. “Seirina?”
「Ah… yeah. What’s wrong, Sousuke?」 「No, I mean, you were surprised, right?」
I was the one who approached her, but I couldn’t think of anything to say.
「Was it about Seiho’s goal? Or the kiss? Honestly, I wasn’t surprised by either.」 「Is that so?」 That was an unexpected answer.
If it were Seirina, it wouldn’t be surprising if she had similar thoughts…
“In movies, dramas, manga, or novels, conflicts between survivors in such situations often occur. Honestly, I think we’re too peaceful.” “Maybe you’re right.”
“Of course, there are kids who had unpleasant experiences, but the order hasn’t completely broken down.”
In works depicting such situations, more horrific events are not uncommon.
It might be strange to compare fiction, but the fact that such tragic events didn’t happen might be something to be happy about. Seirina continued with “but.”
“I think this was fortunate. First, it was fortunate that Sousuke wasn’t a scumbag. It was fortunate that a weak person didn’t get a powerful ability. And it was fortunate that Sousuke and the others could handle things before the idiots did something stupid.”
I had Chiyou, and because we could support each other, I didn’t become as unstable as the other boys. This was indeed fortunate.
After Chiyou and I mentioned our abilities in our first dream, the ability improv show was started by Shouko.
Since most of the boys had answered just for fun, the ability holders were concentrated among the girls.
This also seems to be considered fortunate by Seirina.
Furthermore, indeed, someone like Tsukui, who tried to clear the event by firing a gun, was quite dangerous at that point.
Since we managed to take away the weapon during the first event, it didn’t become a serious problem.
Our current situation has been made possible by continuously attracting the good options from among various possibilities.
It could have easily turned into a dangerous situation where boys fight over girls.
And Seiho believes that such a possibility could still happen in the future, so he wants to take precautions.
So that we can always think of it as a stroke of luck until the very end.
“I agree that we’ve had a lot of luck.”
“Yeah, of course it’s not just luck. Sousuke worked hard, and that’s why things turned out well. Me almost dying wasn’t luck or anything like that. But because Sousuke saved me, I didn’t die.”
She must have remembered something, because she blushed.
“Even so, this situation isn’t just my doing.”
“Heh. You’re the one who’s using everyone’s power well. Well, Chiayu is good at getting the girls together too.”
Shirina giggled. She must have remembered their private meeting with the girls.
“Anyway, it wasn’t a surprising idea.” ”…Then what about the last one?”
She hadn’t been in contact with Shouko before either.
That was a surprising move on his part.
I was stunned when it happened, but I figured out that I really do like Sousuke, so I have no complaints.
It seems that Sera also sensed something from Seiha’s eyes.
But, I hardly ever had the chance to talk to Seiha directly, even before the transfer.
It might take time to deepen our love, but falling in love can happen in an instant. …I feel embarrassed now. Let’s just forget I said that.
Sera is blushing furiously, and it looks really cute.
No, no, it’s true that some people fall in love at first sight, or with actors and artists, so the time spent together doesn’t matter.
I don’t want to tease her, so I try to smooth things over.
Y-Yeah, that’s what I wanted to say.
Sera looks away and covers her face with her hand, as if trying to cool her cheeks down faster. It’s so cute. “But, that Seiha…” It’s hard to believe it’s real.
As I said before, I’m not surprised. Craft is a big part of Sousuke, but it’s not everything. The charm that was hard to see in the classroom is now reaching everyone on this desert island.
If this were a story, I could accept it more easily…
It’s always satisfying to see a boy who didn’t stand out in class shine in a different environment and become the center of attention.
When asked if I have the same charm as the many protagonists, I can’t help but tilt my head. ”…Maybe.”
Still, to deny it here would mean denying the feelings of those who like me, which made me hesitate. I could only manage a vague smile.
“But there are two things that bother me.” Serina said in a small voice. “Two things that bother you?”
“If Seijou joins Sousuke’s harem, she won’t be satisfied with anything less than first place, right?”
”…Right. She does seem like the competitive type.”
I don’t know what the future holds, but if we end up in such a relationship.
I could imagine her having a competitive spirit against not only Shouko, but also Chiyo and the other girls.
“And also, this has nothing to do with Seijou… but…” “What’s up?”
“We’re going to bring back our memories, right? So even if I go back to my original life, I’ll still love Sousuke.” ”…Maybe.” “Absolutely.”
I still feel embarrassed when my feelings are expressed so directly. “Ah, thank you…”
I felt my face heat up a little as I replied. “You’re welcome.”
A few seconds passed, and a comfortable yet awkward silence fell.
It was Sayumi who broke the silence.
“So, how do you plan to deal with all the girls who love you so much, Sousuke?” ”――――”
It was something he had to think about eventually. No, that’s not right.
He had been thinking about it all along, even if he hadn’t said so.
“Well, I guess I should talk to Senyuu about it. But I think she’s avoiding the topic on purpose. Maybe she’s still thinking about it.”
The harem situation was only possible because of the circumstances on this desert island.
It goes without saying that it would be incredibly difficult for an ordinary high school boy to date several classmates without any issues.
The situation and Senyuu’s tolerance played a big role.
“I should definitely talk to Senyuu. But I don’t want to pretend like none of this happened. Of course, I need to confirm everyone’s feelings again.”
He wasn’t sure if he was being responsible or not, but he meant it.
Just a little while ago, he was a normal person who had been in love with a childhood friend since kindergarten but couldn’t even say it in high school.
Now, even though I’m back to my daily routine, I’m still trying to maintain my harem.
It’s quite a change, even though I’ve only been on the island for two weeks.
Seina seemed satisfied with my response and smiled.
“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. But if it doesn’t work out…”
Then, Seina brought her lips close to my ear, almost licking it, and whispered.
“I won’t give up on you, Sousuke. I don’t want you to regret liking someone like me.”
It was a seductive and hot confession that melted my brain from the inside out.
Happy New Year.
I hope we can continue to support each other this year.
This year, I will continue to expand Souza’s harem,
and I will try my best to ensure that the existing heroines don’t become overshadowed when viewed on a chapter-by-chapter basis.
I hope you will continue to support the web serialization and the book version.
