That’s that. Let’s get going.
The members are me, Senyuu, Shion, Shinpo, Serina, Lumina-sensei, and Miyoo.
Everyone, including those seeing us off, heads out.
“Um, S-Sousuke. If you want, I can transform into the Black Dragon—”
I hear Miyoo’s words, and suddenly Mikuron zips over to me, wrapping its fluffy body around me.
Then, it growls at Miyoo as if warning her. “Hiee.”
“Ah, ahaha, sorry, Mia. Mikuron, you really love Sousuke, right?”
Shouko strokes Mikuron soothingly, making a troubled face.
“Y-Yeah. I guess I’ll have to give up this time.”
“I think it’ll be fine if you don’t transform into the Black Dragon.”
“But when you transformed into Fenrir, you caught Mashiro’s attention, didn’t you…?”
Shinpo was right. When I transformed into a female Fenrir, Mashiro had come over with great interest.
「Transform into a griffin? Hyrul is pretty attached to Mikuron right now, so maybe it’ll be okay?」
「Sure, but if you don’t let Mikuron ride you, he’ll sulk.」
Mikuron nodded in agreement with Shouko’s words.
「Haha, got it. Well, see you later, Mikuron.」
Mikuron came closer with a happy look on his face, so I petted him.
「Ugh, it’s not going well at all…」
「I could tell you were trying your best.」
Seirina patted Miyose’s back in encouragement as she looked dejected.
She probably wouldn’t have done that if she were still a lone wolf.
I can tell that she’s getting used to this party, even though she’s still a bit snappy with everyone but me. 「Seirina…」
「If you’re serious, I’ll leave you alone with Soosuke in the barrier.」
Seirina said with a grin, causing Miyose’s face to turn bright red.
「S-Serina-san. If that’s the case, I have something to discuss with you too…」
Shinfu approaches Serina and begins whispering something to her.
「…May I ask a favor?」
「Sure. In return, you have to help me too.」 「…Of course, I’ll do my best.」
The two shake hands, but it’s unclear what they were talking about. Anyway, it’s time to leave. On the Micron, there’s me, Senyuu, and Shi-on.
On the Griffin Palace, Shinfu, Lumina-sensei, and Serina will ride.
「Micron, please take care of everyone!」 「Have a safe trip.」 「Take care.」
Only three people will be left behind, but Mashiro is here, and the Clear Phoenix party is right next door.
In terms of strength, we’re well equipped, and Serina’s barrier will also be added here.
With no unique individuals around, there’s no threat in terms of safety.
As I mount the Micron, she rises into the air.
I’m getting used to it, but I still feel the sensation of free-falling like a roller coaster every time.
The selection of the boys was already done, so I moved according to the map.
Thanks to the flying phantoms, I arrived soon enough. “Kouno!?”
I landed outside the stone walls I had set up for them, and they came out of the hut.
I had just visited the group of three boys who were acting together.
All three of them were wearing the linen clothes I had given them before.
“Fukano-kun, Nakamura-kun, Goto-kun, are you all right?” Lumina-sensei called out to the three of them. “Sensei!” “Lum-chan-sensei!” “Why are you here?”
“Did you guys get hurt by the slime?”
“We encountered them during the exploration and got scared, but they’re slow, so we managed to escape.”
“But aren’t you scared of monsters that you don’t know where they’ll come out?”
“They might increase even more in the future…”
“So, I came today with a proposal from Kouno-kun and the others.”
Lumina-sensei explained to the three of them. “Eh!?” “Y-You’re transferring the ‘Right to Return’!?” “Really!?” The three of them were shocked.
「We decided to transfer the excess to everyone. But there are conditions.” “Just say it!” “I hate it here!” “I want to go home!”
“S-So you want to use it, right? I just want you to use it as soon as possible.” “S-That’s it!?”
“I don’t think I can clear any quests, so I’m really grateful!” “Finally!”
Glancing at Shion, she nodded with a smile.
So she’s telling the truth. “Senbu, Shinpo, please.” “Mm.” “Sure.” They both nodded and stepped forward. I followed them.
“‘We transfer the right to return home.’”
All of a sudden, the three of them shuddered.
And we were thrown into a white space.
The all-white classroom was filled with the party members. Just like every night’s dream. “Wh-What’s going on!?” The maids were justifiably alarmed.
“‘The user of the ‘Right to Return Home’ has been confirmed.’”
“‘Participants: Asuta Maeno, Daichi Shinjo, and Shinji Goto, the three of you will leave the island.’”
So when someone returns, a report is sent.
Surely, everyone else is seeing this dream too.
『A returnee has appeared, so we will add the “Disappearance Day” and “Nomination Quest” starting from the fourteenth day』 ”…Seriously?”
It’s kind of the same as when the “Bonus Area” was unlocked for me.
An element is added when certain conditions are met. 『・About “Disappearance Day”
Every day, a random person and a random number of people will be targeted.
The targeted individuals will not be able to use anything they brought to the island.
When the date changes, the prohibition will be lifted』
”…I wonder if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like they’re trying to disrupt our stability.” Shinpo says bitterly. “Yeah. The mystery blackboard is really mean.”
If Seirin’s barrier stops working, we’ll all have to defend the base that day.
If my “Crafting Ability” stops working, I won’t be able to store or arrange things, which is inconvenient.
“Wait a minute. What if I’m chosen, what happens to Mashiro and the others? If they disappear, we can’t call them back again!”
That’s why Shouko always keeps her phantoms summoned.
『In the case of abilities that involve summoning and commanding, the target creature will enter a dormant state』
「So, it just means they go to sleep, right? That’s a relief, Shokko.」
When Serina explained it in simple terms, Shokko let out a sigh of relief with tears in her eyes.
「Whew… I really thought my heart would stop for a moment!」
If commanding was included, then the monsters that Usugari had tamed would simply go to sleep rather than being released. 「・「Named Quests」
Set for random individuals and a random number of people each day.
Random quests are assigned to the participants.
If you complete the quest on the same day, you will receive a reward.
If you fail to complete the quest on the same day, you will be penalized.
“Wait, does that mean we might be told to ‘go slay some monsters’? Isn’t that a bit harsh?”
“Perhaps the observers find it less interesting if we rely on those skilled in combat to complete the quests.” “That’s… scary.”
Rumeka wasn’t the only one looking worried; Rora and Shion were also looking uneasy.
「That’s terrible… After everyone worked so hard to build peace, you’re adding something that could put the students in danger?!” Lumina-sensei was indignant.
“Can others help with the quest?”
“If someone other than the target directly assists with the quest, the quest will fail.”
“What about indirect assistance, like lending a map, providing tools, or moving to a designated location?”
“Depending on the quest, the definition of indirect assistance will vary.
Only if we determine it to be indirect assistance will the quest continue.”
For example, in the case of a quest to defeat a monster, having the monster transport you to the location would be considered indirect assistance.
However, if a quest required you to reach a specific location within a certain time frame, using a monster to get there would be considered direct assistance.
You shouldn’t try to complete the quest’s objectives using the power of others.
To be safe, I confirmed this verbally, and it turned out my understanding was correct.
“Does this mean that for this time, with three people returning, there are two additional elements, and for the next time, with six people, there will be two more added?” “I cannot answer.”
To Miyose’s question, a mechanical response came back. It was a difficult choice.
If you don’t want any more elements added, the solution is simple.
Just don’t let anyone return until everyone’s “return rights” are full. But that’s difficult.
We want to stay on the desert island for a long time.
That’s why we tried to send the other boys back as uncertain factors.
We want to send the boys back, but the more we do, the more new elements might be added.
The mysterious blackboard seems to know our goal and is toying with us.
They probably want fresh reactions all the time.
“I don’t know what the quest is, but can students without any abilities clear it…?”
For a teacher who cares about the students, that must be a concern too.
The mysterious blackboard might also have the intention of stirring up resentment or the desire to return among those who have returned.
“Based on the previous trends, I don’t think they’ll set impossible quests…,”
Even Shinpo sounds uncertain.
There’s nothing I can say for certain, so there’s no point in worrying about it.
Still, we have no choice but to send them back. If we leave them here, something new will be added every day. If the danger is the same, we might as well choose a path we can accept.
“Yeah. It’s better for us to deal with the danger ourselves than to watch humans fight each other or boys go wild.” Chiue is right.
The worst-case scenario is that boys gain new abilities through ‘Ability Awakening’ and do something worse than causing trouble for girls.
Even if that doesn’t happen, the newly added quest might penalize those who can’t fight.
If that’s the case, we want to send the boys back and choose a path where we unite and survive while resisting the new elements.
‘The number of participants on the main island is now thirty-eight.’
In an instant, we were returned to our original location.
The figures of Maezumi, Machinaka, and Goto were gone. Book 2 is now available!
Thank you to those who have already purchased and those who plan to purchase!
We hope you’ll consider it!
Now that new elements have been added,
Of course, “Easy Island Life” won’t fall apart.
That said, since the members who conquer the island are set,
I’d like to avoid having a similar feel to the story continuing on,
so please think of this as an element to see interactions with various members.
Kousuke’s harem life will continue on!
