This is the second one

Chiyu is peeking out from the gap in the door, staring at me intently.

"Wow! It's Chiyu! I'm so glad you're safe!"

But when she saw Shouko jumping around in joy at her own safety, she seemed to lose her enthusiasm.

"You too... Shoko-chan"

"Oh, that nickname's great! I'm Shoko-chan! Haha"

"...You were with Iyama-san. Or maybe... when Sousuke-kun grabbed my hand, we transferred together?"

Shion is pondering something.

"I think that's probably right"

「Amazing... Sousuke-kun, did you know?」

「No, it was just a coincidence.」

「Oh, I see. But I think that coincidence made Dr. Iyama very happy.」

Chiyu had said something like that.
　Shion murmured it with a dazed look on her face, and I just replied, “Maybe so.”

「Sousuke-kun, come here for a moment.」

Chiyu beckoned me from the doorway, and I approached her.

「What’s up?」

I asked Chiyu when I reached the door.

「What’s up? You want me to come out in front of you with my uniform still all wet?」

Chiyu was looking at me as if she disapproved of something.

「――Ah」

Now that I understood why my childhood friend wasn’t coming out, I felt awkward.

“If that’s your preference, Sosuke, as your most beloved childhood friend, I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I understand that there are men who enjoy the game of attaching used condoms to girls’ panties before walking around outside. I get it, Sosuke. I’m ready to go out as your clingy, cute childhood friend.”

“I’m sorry…! I’ll put it in my Inventory right away.”

While my skin could be cleaned with the soap, water, and bucket I had left earlier, my clothes couldn’t be cleaned the same way.
Even if I tried washing them with soap, they would just get wet and look unnatural.

I should’ve realized she was waiting for me to put something in my Inventory.
Still, Chiyu, where did you get such knowledge about niche fetishes…?

“Abort mission?”

"Stop, stop."

"Hmm, well then, this."

She seemed to have already taken off her uniform.
I quickly stowed it in my ‘Inventory’ and rearranged it.

"I'm really sorry, Chiyu."

Chiyu let out a sigh.

"I know. You didn't mean to. You were just playing a prank out of jealousy."

"No, I should have noticed. I'll be more careful from now on."

After quickly changing, Chiyu tilted her head at my words.

"Does that mean you plan to dirty it again?"

Her eyes were narrowed in a mysterious way.

"Ugh."

"Just kidding. Let's go soon."

"A, ah."

"Chiyu-chan? Sousuke? What are you whispering about?"

"Shouko-chan, just be quiet and wait."

After putting away the items inside the room and finishing my preparations, I headed over to them with Chiyu.

"Sorry, but I had something to discuss. You probably know, but this is Iyama Chiyu. She's my childhood friend since kindergarten and came over with me."

I wanted to properly confess to her back on Earth, and it seemed Chiyu was okay with that.
If that's the case, introducing her as my girlfriend at this point would be inappropriate.

"Ah, nice to meet you. You can call me Chiyu too."

Chiyu was subtly telling me that she heard the part where we were calling each other by our first names.
　Shion seemed to understand and gave a wry smile.

"Heh heh... Nice to meet you too, Chiyu-chan."

Shion and Chiyu shook hands, but I couldn’t help but look at Chiyu’s hand and remember what had just happened.

No, no, I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

"What are you doing, Sousuke?"

"N-nothing. Actually, it’s dark and cold, can I start a fire?"

"Huh? Sousuke, can you light a fire?"

「Ah, well. I created a fire starter with my abilities, so that's how it is.」

「Wow...! Turn it on, turn it on!」

I headed toward the large stone pavement that was left out.

「Chiyu, help me out.」

I extinguished the fire I used for the bath and dinner, and stored the ashes in a clay pot, turning them into an item.
　This is also a feature of my abilities; I can't store small particles like sand or soil that are in contact with the ground.

Perhaps because the boundary between the ground and the particles is unclear.

「I think it's better to let someone else do it for the sake of future learning.」

「If it's not too difficult, I'd like to help.」

Shion raised her hand modestly.

「Ah, sure, then I’ll leave it to you.」

「Yes, I’ve been entrusted with the task.」

Shion smiled warmly as she stepped onto the stone pavement.
We sat down on the stones and set up the fire-making tools we had arranged with our abilities.

「Wow. Tools came out of nowhere… Is this also an ability?」

I didn’t intend to talk about my abilities before officially becoming a member… but since I’ve seen Fenrir, I suppose this much is acceptable.

「That’s right. I’d like Shion to hold down this stone with the indentation, and step on both ends of this wooden board.」

「Ah, I see. You want me to hold the tools in place. Then Sousuke-kun will pull the string, and create a fire by friction.」

「That’s right.」

Shion spread her legs and held down the wooden board.

I was used to this, so it took me less than ten seconds to get the kindling going.

The moonlight wasn't very clear, but Shion's panties seemed to be black...

I immediately pushed those thoughts away and got ready to light the fire.

"Wow, a real fire! And so fast too!"

We arranged the log chairs around the fire and sat down.

"Did you make these chairs too, Sousuke?"

"With my ability."

"Whoa, this is too convenient. This ability is the strongest here."

Shouko's mood had been high ever since.

Maybe she's happy because she got to see a friend again on the desert island, even though she was already an energetic kid to begin with.

"You've been really helpful. And being able to control Fenrir is a huge cheat."

"Hahaha, I understand... It's not a laughing matter, but there are kids who only got one bag of potato chips, you know?"

"Thanks to you, Sousuke-kun, a lot of students have gained abilities, so I think they're grateful."

"That's true! If it weren't for Mashiro, I'd have starved to death. I'm really grateful to Sousuke."

Shouko clasped her hands together in a gesture of reverence.

Incidentally, Fenrir has moved behind Shouko and is lying down.
I want to touch her, but I should wait until we're done talking.

"Still, some kids picked weird abilities, so there probably aren't many who are grateful."

I add this as a compliment, but being praised nonstop makes me feel embarrassed.

"That's not your fault."

"Right. The important thing is that there are kids like me who were saved, right?"

"Oh, I see... Besides, if the answers could be changed later, maybe I'd have more abilities."

"Oh, no way."

Shion spoke up.

"Shi-chan, you apparently answered twice, but you only got the first one."

"Huh."

If that's true, most of the items and abilities would be set.
The events of that dream were not entirely forgotten.
The answers given by everyone were mostly still in my memory.

But, that can wait for now.

I was about to say let's share information first, when Shouko's stomach growled.

"Ah, ahaha. Mashiro suddenly made a cute sound, didn't she? She's so embarrassing."

Shouko's attempt to cover it up was too obvious.

Fenrir, caught up in her master's lie, tried to protect her by making a sound that mimicked the growling of her stomach. How loyal is Fenrir?

Before we get to the main topic, we should probably prepare something to eat.
