Multiple updates today.
This is the first chapter.
“I see, the sleeping arrangements are an issue, huh…”
We didn’t have enough ‘normal wood’ to build another hut.
“Sō-kun, I get the harem wish, but…”
“I never said that, did I?”
I let out a bitter chuckle and fell into thought.
“Well, we can make warm clothes out of the wool. We’ll just wear those and sleep outside.”
Fortunately, the night chill was mild, something like a Japanese autumn.
We wouldn’t die from it. Besides, we had a campfire.
And worst-case scenario, I could just rely on Chiyu’s ‘Novice Heal’, so I felt reassured.
“That’s not acceptable.”
However, Chiyu objected.
“Ah, I’m against it too! I trust Sōsu and it’s fine if we’re together. Plus, since we’re the ones being asked to join up, kicking out the house owner is just not an option.”
“That’s right.
If anyone has to step outside the hut, it should be done by taking turns as a watchkeeper or in some fair rotation,” Shiko and Shion followed suit.
“I-I see…”
I hadn’t expected the women to be the ones to agree to sleeping in the same room.
The kindness and trust felt warm, almost shyly so.
“Wouldn’t Fenrir be able to take down one or two trees?”
“Hmm, I see. I’d rather not make too much noise at night, but… that’s actually a viable option.”
Me and Chiyu turned our gazes toward Youshi.
“I’m sorry, but Mashiro is already asleep, so I don’t really want to wake him up.”
Looking over, there was Fenrir sleeping soundly.
Truly, it would be a difficult thing to do, waking up comrades who had worked hard all day just to set up their own bed.
“Hmm.”
Chiyu didn’t press the matter any further, seemingly unable to force her point after being told that.
“Hehe, it’s okay, Chiyu-chan. If we arrange it so Sousuke is on one side, you right next to him, and us beside you, no worries will come to pass.”
”…I don’t care if Sousuke-kun decides to build a harem on a desert island.”
“H-Harem? Chiyu-chan…”
Youshi’s face turned red.
Even so, Chiyu’s remark was unexpected.
“Right now, Sochu-kun is the only one we can count on. But there are three girls. If someone monopolizes him, or if he unconsciously favors her, the atmosphere among us will turn absolutely toxic.”
“No, I get what you’re getting at.”
Honestly, ignoring my own popularity was a very understandable perspective.
You don’t even need to look at history to know that romantic entanglements cause tragedies; just hearing about it in daily news or knowing someone who went through it makes it clear enough.
In Japan, you might still be able to rely on other adults or the police in such a situation, but this is an desert island with only students.
It’s an environment where we have to be even more mindful of these dynamics.
“Just as I’d expect from Chi-yu. Sure, if Sōsuke-kun starts dating just one person, it’ll make things awkward for the others. At school, there are other groups and daily routines, but here, our lineup is fixed.”
Indeed, we’re actually scheduled to sleep together, and naturally, mornings will be spent as a group too.
We can’t easily pop over to another group’s space either.
“H-huh? Chi-yu and Shi-on, are you serious?”
Shōko looked confused.
Yeah, I get it, Shōko. Your reaction is standard.
Chi-yu and Shi-on just being rational about it.
“Well, let’s discuss that side of things among the girls. Sōsuke-kun, sorry for always leaning on you, but could we ask you to look after the cabin situation?” “Eh?
Ah, a-alright.”
Either way, Moushi and Shion were planning to have them warm up by the campfire to dry their hair.
But right now, I couldn’t help but get curious about the kind of conversation women would be having.
That said, I had no intention of eavesdropping and losing everyone’s trust, so I focused on tasks inside the hut.
First, the floor covering.
Essentially a rug. Since I was doing it anyway, I decided to make it big enough to cover the entire floor of the hut.
Generated “Wool Rug” — Placed.
It’s dark and hard to see, but a pristine white rug appeared in the room.
I crouched down to touch it.
“Whoa~ so fluffy.”
Besides, it didn’t smell weird either. The processing of the sheared wool must have been handled automatically.
Once again, I truly appreciated the versatility of my Crafting ability.
After that, I generated four “Wool Blankets.”
They might not be full-sized quilts, but they should be warm enough.
I wrapped one around my body to test it out.
“Mm-hmm, this feels really good. I can feel a definite improvement in quality of life.”
Though curling up with Chiyu on the straw mat was also a fantastic memory.
All that aside, it’s nice to have a full set of bedding.
Besides… besides, you can still do things like that without a futon, so…
Suppressing the runaway fantasies threatening to explode in my head, I moved on to the next task.
‘Wool base layer’… I figured I’d make some underwear, essentially.
I hesitated for a split second over how to handle the sizing specifications, but it turned out ‘S,’ ‘M,’ and ‘L’ would work fine.
I generated an ‘M’ size to test.
The feel against the skin was lovely, and it seemed perfectly suitable for everyday wear.
Riding that momentum, I crafted a matching pajama set.
I structured the top like a sweater and the bottoms like sweatpants.
First, I tried them on myself, swapping my uniform for the pajamas.
“This works.”
Didn’t wool have high thermal insulation and moisture retention properties?
If everything was wool—the bedding and all my clothes—wouldn’t it actually be too hot to sleep comfortably?
Well, in that case, I could just take off the sweater.
“The synergy between [Crafting Ability] and [Fluffy Summoning] is insane.”
It’s great that combining them brings out new strengths.
Thanks to Chiiru’s [Basic Healing], I was able to start logging on the very first day, but I’m being helped enormously by my companions, not just by individual abilities.
If we encounter other transmigrators in the future, Shion’s ability will truly shine.
Four people with abilities forming up on day one is a stroke of luck beyond measure.
I was lost in thought along those lines.
“So-kun, sorry to keep you waiting.”
The three of them returned.
“Oh, ah, welcome back.”
“Waa, Sōsuke-kun, you’ve changed clothes. Made from the wool we got earlier? Can I touch it?”
Chiiru and Shion were as usual—or rather, no different from before.
But Shouko was hunched over, fiddling nervously with the golden tips of her hair using her fingers.
—w-what kind of conversation did they have, and what conclusion did they reach?
While Shion tapped my pajamas lightly, I couldn’t shake the worry.
“J-jun… and there’s a rug and a blanket too! S-Sōsuke really is amazing! Ah, ahah.”
Shouko tried to act as if everything were normal, but she failed spectacularly.
“Listen, Shouko. I don’t know what you two were talking about, but please stop being so wary. Not only me, but none of us are going to force anything on you that you don’t want.”
She made sure to state that clearly.
Shion might have been using her abilities, but that was for the best.
It wasn’t a lie, after all.
“No, I know Sou-suke is a kind person, so it’s fine. That’s not the point… It’s just…”
“Even if I trust him completely, things are still embarrassing to talk about, Sou-suke-kun.”
”…Yeah, that’s definitely true. To be honest, I’m nervous too.”
An indescribable atmosphere settled over them.
“Sou-kun, I want pajamas too.”
It was a blessing to have Chiyu around in moments like this.
“Oh, I’ll make some for you.”
”…Please make the fabric around the chest area loose enough. Otherwise, it will pull tight…”
Her childhood friend said it in a small voice, looking a bit reluctant to say it out loud.
“Huh? You can do that? If so, Sou-suke-kun, please make mine like that too. With Y-shirts and such, if I pick a size that accounts for my chest, the sleeves and length end up being too long, which isn’t cute.”
Shion lowered her gaze to her chest, her voice tinged with distress.
“…Ah, I-I’d like one too.”
Seiko seemed to be wrestling with the same dilemma.
Since all three of them had rather ample chests, they likely shared the common struggles that came with having a large bust.
“I, I understand…”
Hearing problems I wouldn’t normally hear, I proceeded to generate their pajamas.
Since existing patterns didn’t seem to work, I decided to select the targets for installation and generate new ones, just like I had done with the stone walls.
“Sorry, but I’ll need to take a good look to match the sizes.”
“You can look all over, no problem.”
Chiyu stripped off her uniform top.
“Oh, if you just take off the top, that should be enough.”
“Aha, Sōsuke is such a gentleman. You could have said we’d need to see you in your underwear to measure properly, though.”
“You can’t lie to Shion, ya know.”
“Right.”
Shion laughed playfully.
With that, I generated the innerwear and pajamas for all three of them, my heart pounding a bit.
I handed the items to the delighted trio; saying they would change, so we went outside.
In the meantime, I approached the extinguished campfire to store away the ashes, doing the same around the bath area.
Fenrir’s Mashi-ro was sleeping soundly.
If any ordinary beasts try to approach, the stone wall will block them; if they do manage to scale it, Fenrir will engage them.
It looks like I’m going to have a dependable watchdog.
Lost in thought on this, I looked up at the moon.
Just like the sun, there was only one, and its color was perfectly normal.
It’s strange that my abilities work here, and teleportation is a mystery, but I can’t entirely rule out the possibility that this is Earth.
It would be easier to understand if monsters like goblins or demi-humans like elves showed up.
Well, it’s no use trying to figure out what I don’t know.
“So-kun, you’re all right now.”
Hearing the voice of my childhood friend, I headed back to the hut.
Inside were three beautiful girls who had finished changing clothes.
