If you could take one thing with you to a desert island?

The question is written on the blackboard.

――Ah, this is a dream.

Don’t you sometimes have dreams where you realize this?
That’s what happened today.

In a completely white space, desks and chairs are lined up, and all the members of Class 2-A are present, without any missing.
There’s no floor, ceiling, windows, doors, or walls, but there is a blackboard.

The blackboard has the question written on it.

“What’s this?” “Is this a classroom?” “It’s too white.” “…Is this a dream?”

The reactions of my classmates vary, but they feel incredibly real.

All of them are phrases and gestures that the person would say and make.

Even when acquaintances appear in dreams, it's not uncommon for their personalities and relationships to be completely different, but this dream seems to prioritize realism.

"What will you have, Sousuke?"

It's my childhood friend, Iyama Chiyu, who comes over to my seat and asks.

She has shoulder-length white hair and sapphire-like blue eyes.
Though she's a bit on the petite side, her chest is incredibly prominent.

Her expression doesn't change much, but she's actually quite the jokester on the inside.
We've been friends since preschool, and we're still close even now that we're in high school.

My name is Kouno Sousuke.
That's why she calls me Sousuke.

「...even in my dreams, her breasts are huge.」

Since it’s just a dream, I can say things I wouldn’t normally say out of politeness.

Then, just like the real her, a cold gaze devoid of expression shot over to me.

「Pervert.」

「S-sorry.」

I couldn’t help but apologize out loud.
This dream is too realistic, and I’m not sure how to react.
I should probably act like I usually do.

「W-well, about the blackboard...?」

「Right. What are you bringing?」

It's a pretty common topic. At least, you'd encounter it a few times if you've lived for a decade or so.

When it comes to similar topics, people usually ask things like what you'd do if you won the lottery,
what you'd want to be if you were reborn,
or who you'd want to date if you were a celebrity,
right?

I take a look at my classmates.

"Smartphone, right?" "Of course~"

"Insect repellent?" "Oh, then I'll bring sunblock~" "Haha, if that's the case, you'll need a swimsuit too, right?"

"An airplane. I'd take it back to Japan." "You can't even fly one...!"

"Coke." "Got it. I'll bring some potato chips, let's share."

"A fishing rod. Securing food is important, you know."

"Then I'll take a spear. I want to shout 'Gotcha!' when I catch something."

The classmates voiced their individual ideas.
Well, it was just idle chatter, so there was no need to butt in. But could it really be okay to choose just one thing?

There were some who seemed to be thinking seriously about it, though...
For example...

"A lighter."

Starting a fire is harder than most people think, so having a lighter in the early stages of a survival situation is very convenient. You could also learn how to start fires before the lighter runs out of fuel.
Some suggested matches as an alternative.

"A gun."

As a means of self-defense, it would be useful, especially if you're expecting to encounter other people.

There are concerns about the user's skill, the type of gun, the type and number of bullets.
For example, if it's a revolver with only six rounds and no reloading, it might not be worth choosing just one item for.
You could use it as a deterrent just by having it, but if you encounter animals, you'd probably use it up right away. Or would you use a different weapon instead?
"A knife. It's a universal item on a desert island."
This is the classic choice. Some people suggest a survival knife or hatchet, and they'd all be very useful.
I've heard of making knives from rocks, but that's not something a beginner could easily do.
"A pot," "dishes," "forks. Good for eating and stabbing!"
I can understand the sentiment, but I don't prioritize these. I'd rather focus on survival than civilized living.
After hearing various opinions, I finally answer my childhood friend's question.
"The item I'll take is"

「...What are you taking?」

「――Crafting Abilities, right?」

「...Is that even possible?」

My childhood friend gave me a skeptical look.
