This is episode 1
When he became aware of it, he was in a white room.
It seems I must have fallen asleep.
So as not to make the same mistake as yesterday, I took my time with the cleanup and then pulled the covers up over myself before bed, so I was at ease this morning too.
Since one of the candles had burned out midway, we ended up opening the window and relying on the moonlight to wipe each other’s bodies clean, but…
I definitely didn’t want to try lighting a fire in the bedroom, so it was unavoidable.
And just like with Chiyu, Shiine didn’t return to her own room after the fact; the two of us simply fell asleep together.
“How many times?”
That was the first thing Chiyu said.
“Hehe, I’ll tell you all about it later.”
Shiine smiled with an air of supreme confidence while her cheeks flushed red.
“Ugh. That’s clearly a ‘four times or more’ face.”
What kind of face is that?
”…Four times or more… what kind of lewd acts must have been taking place… I could hear it, but…”
“From Sojusuke, it was definitely the tits,” said a voice.
Fukaho and Moko were reacting too, their faces turning red as well.
A strange sense of embarrassment washed over me as I thought it through.
Let’s see… was it yesterday? Or the day before that? Anyway, not long ago, Chiyu found out that Shion had taken me twice and got jealous, so she beat me three times.
Since then, she’d been using [Basic Healing] to restore my stamina, but if I started from a zero baseline, the record for consecutive rounds was apparently three.
But when I got home earlier, Chiyu cast [Basic Healing] on me, and I ended up giving Shion four or more times…
Realizing this, Chiyu is probably making that same aggrieved sound again.
It was mortifying that all my sexual experiences were being shared with the women in the group, but since it had also led to some pretty great experiences, I couldn’t really complain.
“Day three has ended.”
The girls, who had been bickering and goofing around, focused instantly the moment text began to float on the blackboard.
In matters like this, they were certainly professionals.
“An event is about to be announced.”
”…An event?”
“About the Event
It will be an irregularly scheduled planning activity.
The content and rewards may vary depending on the specific event. Please understand this condition.”
“The event being held this time is a Start Dash Special Event.”
“About the Start Dash Special Event
Duration――After the end of Day Four, from the start to the end of Day Five
Content――Compete to secure the “floating light orbs” deployed on the island
The reward—only one secured target is granted a ‘Return Right’
“What…?”
“A Return Right…”
“H-huh? So, does that mean we can go back?”
”……Since it’s a ‘right,’ it implies it’s not mandatory, and you can choose when to exercise it, right?”
“Only one person… For those surviving alone, it’s a beacon of hope. But for those forming groups, it’ll be a source of discord. And for the bunch watching us, it’s a perfect experiment.”
Shinpō is right.
For those surviving in lonely isolation, it is precisely the hope of immediate return.
But for those who have formed groups and barely begun to unite, it could become poison.
If even one person cuts ahead, the unity will collapse in a chain reaction, potentially escalating into conflict among comrades over the 『Right of Return』.
Even if someone does manage to return, will those left behind be able to unite again?
After just recently dragging their feet on each other as comrades.
I have no idea when a similar incident might happen again.
『・Regarding “Right of Return”
The “Return Right” is granted exclusively to the acquirer and cannot be transferred or taken away.
By uttering “I exercise my Return Right,” the holder can immediately detach from this island.
Afterward, they transition to Result, process point settlements and select bonuses, before finally returning home.”
Just as Shion had predicted, there was no forced clearance; it seemed one could choose when to return after acquiring the right.
If it were mandatory, we would have had to ignore this event entirely.
Taking “memories” and “abilities” gained on this island back requires separate conditions, the details of which are currently unknown.
But that is what we are aiming for.
We do want a means to return to Japan, but not right this second.
Since the reward for this event is strictly the “Return Right,” that makes it a viable target.
Nevertheless…
“A question. Eggs and milk—what’s necessary for our life from here on?”
“Eggs/Milk.”
The usual pattern again.
Immediately after announcing the critical information, it shifts to a survey. It’s always like that.
“It’s here. This is an easy one: chicken eggs only. For milk, there’s sheep’s.”
Chiyo was operating on her normal routine.
Since she was craving eggs, I could understand her mood.
“Adding just one egg dish makes it feel so much more festive, doesn’t it?”
Shion chimed in.
“The time has come to reclaim the stomach of the childhood friend nearly grabbed by Shio-chan.”
“Eh? More like ‘grabbed’ than ‘nearly,’ don’t you think So-suke’s stomach is already secured?”
Shion smiled mischievously.
“In the end, the childhood friend always wins.”
“Hehe, I’m looking forward to cooking together.”
They were just having a normal conversation, but somehow it looked like sparks were flying.
“Oh, I could… probably make an omelet, at least…”
“I-f you teach me the recipe… maybe I could too…”
Moyoko and Fukamori, the group of them who weren’t familiar with cooking, were saying something.
Speaking of which, I was in the unfamiliar-with-cooking group too, though…
It felt so ordinary that it made him uneasy, considering all the information about “Return Rights” that had come to light.
…No, wait. Wasn’t something wrong?
It was shocking, but did everyone understand there was no need to be shaken by it?
None of these five wanted to leave their companions behind to return on their own.
So it made no difference which one of them held the ‘Return Right.’
They would simply hold onto the accumulated rights for everyone until a method was found to return with their memories and abilities intact.
“Since a majority has been reached, voting is now closed.”
“Starting from Day Four, ‘chicken eggs’ will be placed in the environment.
Please note that we are placing the ‘chickens’ themselves, not the eggs, so please understand this distinction.”
“Additionally, please be aware that the ‘chickens’ deployed this time cannot be used for food.”
Same treatment as the “Fluffy Summoning Ability.”
You could obtain wool and milk from sheep, but you couldn’t have mutton.
The voting was over, so the dream would end soon.
Before it did, I needed to ask what I wanted to know.
“You said we had to secure the Light Orbs, but what exactly counts as securing them?”
“If the contact with the light orb is achieved through the transmigrator’s actions—whether by directly touching it with skin, contacting it through clothing, or hitting it by throwing stones or firing arrows—it will be considered secured.”
So even without direct touch, if you throw something, your clothes brush past it, or an attack lands on it, it still counts as a ‘secure’ judgment.
If the criteria for securing it are that loose, maybe it’s just difficult to find, or difficult to touch.
“Huh? So is it okay to touch it with Mashiro?”
“What if the light orb is within the range of ‘Purification’?”
“If we go by that logic, does it count as secured if magic hits it too?”
“Contact caused by abilities possessed by a transmigrator is also deemed to be secured. Similarly, contact caused by items possessed by a transmigrator is also deemed to be secured.”
And the world was dyed white.
“Day Four begins.”
The upcoming Day Four is the preparation period.
And once that ends and Day Five begins—the event where ‘Return Rights’ are at stake will start.
