The book version release date is here!!!!!!
I look forward to it!!!!!
Once my act with Yurina was over, I fell asleep.
I moved to the Bonus Area, a liminal space modeled after a local shopping center.
Though “moving” is a bit of an exaggeration, given this is something akin to a dream.
Whatever you pick here at the shopping center, you can take exactly one item back with you to the desert island.
I expected it to be just another routine shopping trip, but that wasn’t what happened.
The girls had confided in me that, as a commemoration for forming our cooperative bond with the classmates, they wanted each of them to pick something they personally liked today.
I naturally agreed, but it wasn’t just that—they wanted to keep what they chose a secret.
Up until now, we had been picking items necessary for everyone’s livelihood, but life had become quite comfortable these days.
There were plenty of things we’d be happy to have, but there was nothing urgently needed that absolutely had to be brought back from the Bonus Area.
That is precisely why they must have made such a proposal.
“Yeah. Since it’s something you’re choosing based on your own preferences, let’s keep it secret to respect everyone’s privacy.”
As I nodded, a few of the girls visibly relaxed in relief.
It would be a lie to say I wasn’t curious, but I didn’t feel the need to pry into their business.
With that settled, everyone set off to shop wherever they pleased.
“Sousuke. Will you keep me company while I do some shopping?”
Seriina, who had just been entangled in a thick haze of intimacy with her previous partner, looped her arm through mine and beckoned.
The other women seemed ready to object, but perhaps weighing the time it would take to pick out their own desires, they didn’t interrupt our conversation.
“Aah, sure. But is it okay if I see what you’re buying?” “Yeah. So this way.”
The place Seriina led me to was a furniture store.
“Do you need something specific here? If I can make it for you, I will.”
“Hmm? No, that’s not it. What I have is… this.”
Seriina’s destination was— the bed display section.
”…No way.”
“I passed out dead tired, but here my stamina is fully recharged. Besides, we have three whole hours. Honestly, why didn’t you do this with the other girls before?”
Hearing that, I realized it was something I should have thought of sooner, though…
She gently pushed me. I offered no resistance and fell back onto the bed.
Terina had climbed up without taking off her shoes.
Inside this facility, which mimicked a shopping mall, even our uniforms were unnaturally clean.
Not a speck of dust was visible, no matter how far we walked, the soles of our shoes never got dirty.
So I didn’t mind it really, but it did feel a bit ill-mannered…
Hm?
I found myself wondering why I had such a composed demeanor.
My brand-new girlfriend was straddling me, and yet…
Just as I thought that, Terina’s kiss descended upon me.
The same devouring kiss she had given moments ago.
But after a while, perhaps sensing something off, she pulled her face away with a puzzled look.
“So-uke. Isn’t this a bit… weird?”
“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It’s just that… I’m not feeling aroused.”
“Nah, I am getting excited. My mood is definitely high, but… aren’t you feeling that lustful urge?
The crotch area is completely unresponsive.”
“Exactly!”
The only explanation I could come up with was… some flaw in how this dream worked.
Yorina deflated, her shoulders slumping in disappointment.
“So that’s it. Things aren’t going to be so easy after all.”
“Is it really such a letdown?”
“Hmm. Listen, this is a dream, right? But the sensations feel real, right? So I figured that since I can’t do these things in reality yet, maybe I could experience them risk-free here.”
“What do you mean, ‘things I can’t do yet’?”
As I tilted my head in confusion, Yorina gently stroked my groin.
“Like holding each other without clothes on, but actually taking off all our clothes and… inserting yours into me, or something like that?”
I swallowed hard, unable to help myself.
Yorina wore a wicked smile.
“…Oh, I see. That’s an idea I hadn’t even considered.”
“So, Sōsuke is basically a serious guy, huh?”
“Does that make me the unserious one, then?”
“I am kinda unserious. Plus, I only found out about this after we started doing it… but I might really like it a lot.”
Blushing, Yorina came in for another kiss.
It’s a common enough story that someone changes once they get a lover.
But in reality, it’s rare to find someone with this much of a gap between their usual self and who they are now.
Even though we’re happy about it.
“Mm. I like doing it with you too.”
In that instant, Yorina’s shoulder jerked violently.
”…Ch-Chiiru? When did you get here?”
Chiiru was standing before the bed.
Though she was the smallest person in the room, right now she looked bigger than anyone.
“Who cares about that. More importantly, Seli-chan. If we could do lewd stuff in this space… were you planning to steal Sou-suke’s first time without asking me?”
“Well, I mean… no, not really. No, of course, I was going to tell Chiyu. Yeah.”
“Verdict: Guilty.”
Seliname was unusually flustered by Chiyu’s verdict.
“Wait, wait. …I’m sorry. I just got carried away and overstepped the moment you joined me. If you get punished right away, it’ll ruin all the happiness.”
”…In that case, suspended sentence.”
Chiyu thought for a bit, apparently deciding that imposing a punishment would be going too far.
Not to mention, the pressure is enough to fluster even Seliname…
My childhood friend is an impressive one.
If anyone were keeping this harem in check, it wouldn’t be me; it would be Chiyu.
“Yeah, I get it. Since Chiyu has given permission, Sou-suke belongs to everyone now.” “Mm. Then that is fine.”
“And by the way,” she said, looking at me.
“Sometime in the future, I should be able to meet those expectations of yours as well.”
“Expectations… surely not.”
“In eroge-style otherworlds, contraception magic is often classified as a white magic.”
Me and Seliname widened our eyes simultaneously.
“Huh, is that so? And wait, Chiyu, when can you actually memorize those?”
“At my current level of proficiency, they haven’t unlocked yet.”
”……Is there even a possibility that I can’t learn them at all?”
When I asked, she shook her head.
“No. I have imbued my ability with the images of every White Magus I’ve seen in fiction. Therefore, any magic I know should eventually become something I can master.”
So that’s how it works…… or maybe it really is.
There was no doubt that the abilities usable on this island were heavily influenced by the holder’s perception.
If that was the case, would it truly be possible eventually……?
“Hey, Chiyu. Once you learn those spells, can you teach me too……?”
“Right now, Seri-chan is at the very bottom of my priority list.”
“Wait, I really am reflecting on my actions!”
The bizarre sight of Serina clinging to Chiyu was something I probably wouldn’t have witnessed if we hadn’t come to this desert island.
Eventually, the conclusion was reached that future treatment would depend on their attitude, and Senri agreed with a grim expression.
Both Chiyu and Senri headed off to make their purchases, and I made my way to my destination as well.
What I bought was a complete set of my favorite manga series.
Items sold in a set are treated as a “single item,” which allowed me to choose it this way.
It was nice that I could read my favorite series even on a desert island.
The downside, however, was that as long as I stayed on this island, I wouldn’t be able to read any new releases…
And then, three hours passed.
Our vision was enveloped in white, and we were transported to the familiar white void.
There floated the blackboard, with seats for everyone.
Here, we would have to choose between two options for what would be added today.
Occasionally, events would occur.
『An emergency event has occurred』
Just as I was thinking that, white text began flashing on the blackboard.
“Emergency event…?”
There had been announcements about events in the past, but given that it was labeled as an emergency… did that mean there was no preparation time?
Then it’s possible the event kicks off right after waking up.
A sudden twist, but instead of panicking, I need to grasp what’s happening first—.
“This time, the event will be a ‘Raid Battle: Monster’.”
The book is available now.
