Everyone heads outside.
Even with the reconfiguration feature of the 『Craft Ability』 storage, there are probably items people wouldn’t want stored away.
So, everyone places those kinds of belongings in baskets woven from vines and carries them out.
Fukaho, for instance, has her paper documents in a basket, but it seems what she really wants to keep hidden is her diary. She acknowledges the diary.
Besides that, the women seem to be putting the gifts I gave them into the baskets as well.
The maid, Lua, has even included her school uniform in one of them. It’s a given, I suppose; after all, she wore it at first.
It’s only because she looks so perfectly suited to being a maid that I almost forgot about it.
Once I confirm everyone is outside, I store the house.
”…You can store and retrieve something this size with ease?”
“And what’s more shocking is that this power is supposedly just a secondary effect.”
“If Kuno were around, moving day would be over in an instant. Amazing!”
Yumekai, Miss Luminous, and Shoumu all exclaim in awe.
Unlike those who had grown accustomed to my power, the others seemed shocked that such a massive structure had simply vanished.
Loa, another relatively new member, wore a proud expression as she remarked, “As expected from our master.”
“Roar, you’ve really got your back-hall maid look down to a science.”
Chia murmured.
She was likely referring to how naturally Loa had integrated herself, acting as if she had been in service for ages.
I nearly overlooked it because it felt so second nature to me, but she had originally been a classmate with whom I had barely any interaction.
The fact that she had transformed into such a skilled maid by now was nothing short of astonishing.
Most of my classmates probably wouldn’t be able to comprehend the situation, no matter how much it was explained to them.
The girls from the Seho Group were visibly bewildered as well.
“I’m excited about the new house, but honestly, it still feels a bit lonely.”
Moushi murmured.
Indeed, even for me, it was a place filled with many cherished memories, so I felt a certain reluctance to leave.
It was the house where Chiyu, Shion, and Shouko had all lost their virginities to me.
But as I mentioned earlier, we weren’t actually getting rid of it.
And yet, the thrill of upgrading our base still hit just as hard.
“We can make memories here too, in this new home. Our life on the desert island is far from over.”
“Ha, you’re right.”
“I think so too. As long as Souzou and everyone else are here.”
Shion and Fukaho nodded in agreement.
While everyone chatted, the beast spirits leveled the ground around us.
Using their [Crafting Ability], they finalized the placement zone and the house’s layout.
Then, to generate exactly what we had specified, they constructed it in the optimal form.
“Alright, let’s place it.”
In an instant, a mansion materialized before our eyes.
It was the same stone-raised wooden two-story structure as before.
But its scale was entirely different.
A gasp escaped from everyone.
“Huh. Only to be expected of Souta-kun, the master of his own domain.”
Chiyu nodded with a satisfied smile.
It wasn’t quite a country or a castle, but there was no mistake in it being our territory, our stronghold.
We all stepped inside together.
“The entryway is so spacious! Well, actually, it’s bigger than my room back in Japan…”
Teiko was moved by the grandeur, yet simultaneously deflated by the comparison.
It’s a trope you often see in reality TV features on mansions, but the entrance hall is absurdly spacious.
Just as Shouko said, this foyer is even bigger than my room back in Japan.
We all took off our shoes and changed into the slippers arranged by the entryway.
Since we got exiled to a desert island wearing gym-type indoor slippers, and we’ve been using the storage reconfiguration feature to keep them regularly clean, maybe I should just generate personalized footwear for each of us now.
Loa is already wearing shoes that match her maid outfit, after all.
“Woah! The kitchen is super spacious too! How nice!”
Uta clapped her hands in joy, her eyes darting around the room.
There was enough space to fit multiple stoves and large vats without it feeling cramped. Of course, there was a fridge as well. With this much room, even if several people were moving back and forth through the cooking area, it wouldn’t feel tight.
A pantry was also provided nearby. For commonly used items or things that keep well, I had set it up so they could use them without needing to ask me.
“Seriously, there’s a billiards table! And those casino-looking tables too! This place is amazing!”
Miyoshi’s shout came from far away.
It seems she had already headed off to the game room on her own.
Moving into the spacious living room where everyone could relax, Yume was staring at the television… or rather, the gaming console.
“You can do whatever you want during free time,” he said.
”…N-no, that’s not it!”
Even though she answered that way, she seemed restless.
She might be more into games than I expected.
“The bathroom is huge too, isn’t it… Wait a minute? Could it be that the standard of living on this desert island is actually higher than back home?… In the apartments we live in in Japan, you can’t even stretch your legs fully in the bath…”
This was something Sensei had murmured with a distant look in her eyes when she inspected the bathroom.
Not only had they made the bathtub massive, but they had also expanded the changing area, making it truly feel like a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn).
By the way, this new base was designed with ample room to accommodate up to about fifteen members, in case the group grew.
“Incredible… It really is like a corner of a library.”
Shinpoos entered the study and broke into a beaming smile.
I like books too, so I arranged the desks and shelves to resemble a library, but since there simply weren’t enough books, the room felt somewhat desolate.
“We should start adding more books over time. For manga, you can bring back full-box sets from the bonus areas, but for novels, I feel like there are similar options…”
I’ve seen combined editions sold at electronic bookstores for light novels, but…
“Right. If you want to collect a full set of volumes, I think there are complete works available. Things that compile all the works of a specific author, or masterpieces and classics released under a particular label. They should have them for manga, too.”
“Yeah, yeah, a complete collection.”
In that case, they would be able to acquire a large number of books all at once.
On the first floor, in addition to this, there were provisions for an armory, a storage room, and empty rooms.
After checking everything over, everyone headed up to the second floor.
There was a private room prepared for every member, and naturally, each person’s space had become wider than before. This time, they had also provided a closet in each room.
There was ample redundancy in the number of rooms to accommodate an increase in members.
Only my room had a structure separated into a private study and a bedroom, with a massive bed sitting in the sleeping area.
It was a size I hadn’t seen even in fantasy, large enough that every member currently present could lie down across it with room to spare.
Maintaining mattresses and futons was no problem if you had the ‘Craft’ skill. “Hm.
The King’s bed.”
“W-wow… it’s big.”
“Sousuke, how many people are you planning to sleep here?”
”…Tonight… here…”
Chia, Shion, Shouko, and Fuhou’s faces were red.
In particular, Fuhou is imagining what might happen tonight, her face as red as beet.
“Is this a worthy bed for the one who rules this island?”
”……”
”…A bed is just a bed. But this is clearly… no, teachers have no right to meddle in student dormitories. That’s right, it’s entirely up to the individual.”
“Hehe! Isn’t it too big?! Hey, Takano, can I climb on it?”
Roá seemed pleased, as she was also one of the initiators of this idea.
Yume-kai remained silent, the blushing teacher muttered under his breath in a rushed stammer, and Soube laughed heartily.
—and speaking of which, why is everyone here in my room…?
The situation of eight attractive women being present in my bedroom felt surreal.
Well, that’s not to say anything particularly significant had happened.
While Soube was rolling around on top of my bed, laughing, I suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, what are we doing for room assignments this time? Since the headcount has increased, should we re-decide?”
For a split second, it felt like tension rippled through the women.
I’ve received my third review!
I’m honored that you praised the story!
