「Oh! You’re really going to give it to me?」
Hida Shou, who brought a plane to the desert island and generously gave it to me during the Behemoth battle.
When I told him I was giving him the ‘right to return’, he laughed happily. 「Yeah, I promised.」
「Haha, is that so? Still, thank you!」
「You’re welcome! The plane really helped me out. And I got points for it during that event.」
Hida had earned a bronze evaluation by providing the plane.
In addition to the survival bonus of ‘30’, he had also received points.
If he returned now, he would gain at least forty-three days of life from the thirteen days he survived and the thirty days of bonus.
「See you in Japan.」
「Yeah. I might forget about you, but if you want, we can be friends when you get back.」
Hida doesn’t have the ability to ‘retain memories’.
If he returned now, he would forget about his days on the desert island. 「Yeah, I’ll definitely say hi.」
I don’t mind being alone, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want friends.
Hida’s words made me genuinely happy. “See you later.”
Hida exercised his “Return Right” without hesitation.
“Confirmed the user of the ‘Return Right.’”
“Participant Hida Shou will be departing the island.”
Hida’s return is announced as he’s transported to the white space.
By the way, in this white space, all party members gather.
“The number of participants on the island will now be thirty-seven.” There were no additional elements this time. “Alright, let’s move on.”
Riding on Fenrir, I, Senyuu, Shion, Lumina-sensei, Ikkaku, and Main headed off again.
“Thank you! Thank you!”
“Ugh… I want to eat my mother’s cooking…”
“Games… anime… manga… I can’t live without entertainment…”
The next three also gladly used their “Return Rights.”
“Confirmed the use of ‘Return Rights.’”
“Participants Tochi Teihito, Ura Touji, and Aida Natsuki will depart from the island.” This time there was an additional element.
“Since the number of returnees has reached the required number, the ‘Unique Individual Reassignment’ will be added starting from day fifteen.” —So that’s how it is.
Actually, how many people does the required number refer to?
Three people returned last time, and four this time, but the additional element only appeared twice.
However, since I couldn’t get an answer to this question last time, asking now would be pointless.
“Starting tomorrow, all unique individuals defeated by day fourteen will be revived.
In the future, unique individual reassignment will occur five days after each defeat.
You can obtain the rewards multiple times, but unique individuals will be strengthened each time they are reassigned, so please be careful.”
So far, “Dual Choice Rights,” “Invincibility Potion,” and “Memory Inheritance” have been confirmed as rewards.
All of them are useful, but especially “Memory Inheritance” is something I want to aim for.
For now, I only have the “Deep Magic,” but this is something everyone needs.
As for the “Mechanical Maiden Mask” I got from the mine, it’s unlikely to appear again since it was a special monster.
Of course, if a golem were to be added to the island, that would be different.
“Seirina’s barrier being sealed off must have been quite troublesome,” Deep Magic says.
Avoiding water should be enough to deal with the “Red and Black Arvank,” but the “Needle Demon Tree Trent” and “Echo Acid Slime” are indeed troublesome.
What’s more, they get stronger each time they’re defeated.
It’s like they’re saying they won’t allow us to prolong our desert island life easily.
From the mystery blackboard’s perspective, stagnation might be the most boring thing.
“We should all work together to get through this,” the teacher says, and everyone nods in agreement.
“Thirty-four participants remain on the main island.”
And we were returned to where we originally were.
The place where the three Tashitori had been using as their base.
I wanted to store them in my ‘Inventory’ so that monsters wouldn’t settle there, but it was sealed, so I couldn’t. I always forget.
That’s probably because having such abilities is just normal for me.
Since it’s impossible to retrieve them, I asked Kazuki to destroy them.
Her sword slashed the base to pieces. “Thanks to you, Kazuki.”
“No problem. It’s my pleasure.”
“Still, there are thirty-four more left.”
There are twenty-four girls and ten boys.
Of these, Tendo and Tsutsui are on our side, and I’m staying, so there are seven left who need to be sent back early.
Once those seven are back, the threat of boys on the island will be gone.
“Hmm, only a little more to complete your harem island, Satsuki.”
“Hehe, that’s right. That’s what will happen.”
“W-well, giving up your ‘right of return’ to other students is a noble thing, you know.”
「Indeed. It’s not easy to offer the reward of a life-risking mission for free to others.」
Sen’yuu joked, Shion joined in, and Lumina-sensei followed up, with Iza agreeing with Lumina-sensei.
「Well, it wouldn’t be right to leave them on an increasingly dangerous island.」
Before, I hadn’t had the luxury to worry about the other transmigrants, but now my priorities had changed.
I planned to gather ‘Memory Inheritance’ with my trustworthy companions while accumulating experience from the desert island stay and aiming for ‘Survival Bonus’.
Lumina-sensei was probably just trying to help her students, but for me, it was also about eliminating irregulars.
If any of the boys were to harm their companions through ‘Ability Awakening’, it would be a serious problem.
I didn’t want to think it would happen, but there were boys who had caused trouble for the girls.
To prevent such incidents, the contract where we consume ‘Return Rights’ and the boys can return to their original lives with no risk is a good idea.
「Hehe, you’re not being honest, Souchan.」
Lumina-sensei said with a smile. 「…Souchan?」 Iza tilted her head.
「Ah, no, I mean, Kouno-kun. Hahaha…」 「Is that so… Even you, Tanuki-sensei.」
Izumi’s gaze makes Mr. Lumina’s face turn bright red.
“Y-Yeah. Everyone’s probably waiting for us, so let’s go fishing and get back quickly.”
“That’s right, Kouno-kun! Let’s go fishing! Hey, Kouno-kun!”
…Mr. Lumina, you’re such a bad liar.
Receiving everyone’s warm but pointed stares, Mr. Lumina blushes even more.
Encouraging the embarrassed Mr. Lumina, we all move to the river.
After Izumi clears out the Arvanc with her wooden sword, we start fishing.
We brought the fishing gear from the house’s warehouse.
Soon enough, we manage to catch several white fish and the salmon that Shion was after.
“I don’t eat salmon pasta very often.”
“Sukun only orders meat sauce, pepperoni, or carbonara.”
“It’s fine, it’s delicious…”
I also hesitate to order fancy pasta.
「Hehe, besides the salmon, I was thinking of making a cod roe pasta too.」
「Cod roe pasta… sounds delicious.」
Luminas-sensei, who seems to have recovered from the previous damage, says with excitement.
「Hmm… I suppose men prefer girls like Yumi who are good at cooking?」 「Is that so?」
Izaki murmurs enviously, and Luminas-sensei leans in to ask me.
「Yumi is amazing, but not being able to cook doesn’t mean you’re bad.」
「Hehe, thank you. Yeah, I think it’s great to respect what each person can do.」
「So, what about strong women?」 「They’re dependable.」
「And girls taller than boys…」 「They’re cool.」
「And what about older women?」
「They’re mature and I think that’s good.」
“But the wife will be ‘childhood friends since kindergarten.’”
Just as the four of them were celebrating, Senyuu stepped forward and declared.
But I couldn’t just praise everyone else and leave Senyuu out.
“I’ve known you were cute since kindergarten.”
Trying to say it despite the embarrassment burning my face, I managed to speak.
Senyuu nodded in satisfaction, though her expression remained unchanged.
Everyone looks at me with envy.
I never imagined that so many girls would be interested in me before the transfer.
I don’t want to forget the days I spent on this desert island.
I reaffirm my determination to collect everyone’s ‘memory inheritance’.
It’s time to head back to the base.
