ResetIn that day's bonus area, we were granted the right to take home seven items.
It was a textbook for Shinhō’s subject. That would make it the third textbook for that specific course.
With the full set of second-year high school textbooks in hand, it might be a good idea to start looking into reference books or even the materials for the third year.
Although, who knew if our life on this desert island would actually drag on that long.
Chiyu chose additional controllers to use with the gaming console I had purchased.
The console itself came with controllers that could be split for two-player games, but thanks to Chiyu’s choice, it became possible to play with up to four people at once.
Matching Chiyu’s pick, I selected a party game.
It was a board game based on ludo, incorporating various elements, and had always been a staple we played with friends since we were little.
Tsuko and Shion chose portable showers. This meant two more units would be added to our haul.
I’d noticed the utility myself, and apparently they found them easy to use as well. We reached a consensus that this was the most efficient way to wash up, solidifying our plan to eventually acquire enough units for everyone in the group.
Indeed, from a girl’s perspective, repeatedly hauling buckets of hot water back and forth must be quite a chore.
Our party has several members with long hair, so it’s entirely possible their arms would get tired before they could thoroughly rinse it all out.
Now, the last two picks belong to Roa and Yume-gai.
Maid Loah selected a printer to pair with the laptop she had recently taken out.
There was no doubt it would be a relief for various tasks, like copying textbooks and documents or printing data created on the laptop, so this item had been decided on by consensus.
Paper isn't an issue, as I can generate it perfectly using my 'Craft' ability.
The problem is the ink, but since we expect to return to the bonus area, we can just bring more out whenever we run out.
Yume passed on her selection again this time, so we chose a tablet PC.
It was also part of the process for secretly gifting Yume what she desired, and it's not something that would be troublesome to have anyway.
With that, our selections were complete: 'Textbook,' 'Controller,' 'Game Software,' 'Portable Shower,' 'Portable Shower,' 'Printer,' and 'Tablet PC,' totaling seven items.
"...Up until now, I've been prioritizing things that couldn't be made with my 'Craft' ability, but I might start choosing items where the material availability is uncertain soon."
I spoke to everyone just before finishing our selection.
"Mm. Since metal isn't available, I haven't been able to ask Takumi for wire bras."
Chiyu said this, nodding softly.
"Same with clothes; we can't get the base materials. I mean, linen, wool, and cashmere are great, but..."
Meiko added.
As a top-tier girl from a prestigious high school, she might feel frustrated by her inability to fully enjoy the stylish fashion current materials simply can't provide.
The world is filled with people who aren't like me—people who don't just scrape by with the bare minimum and zero self-discipline.
"If cotton or silk were added as options, the range of clothing Soosuke-san could create would definitely expand considerably…… But if things don't work out in the next few days, I think it's worth considering bringing back finished garments from outside."
Shinhou seemed to agree.
"In that case, food supplies are a good idea too. Soosuke-kun... I mean, everyone probably wants to eat rice sometimes, so picking something with a large quantity and taking it home is an option."
Shion made a statement befitting her status as the head chef.
"If you permit me, I believe we should make your room more splendid. While setting aside the matter of it being spacious enough for the master of the manor, at least I'd like to request that a large, luxurious bed be placed there."
"Hmm. Agreed. Let's buy a bed sized appropriately for a harem king. Even one generated from scratch is fine."
At Loa and Chiiru's remarks, the women blushed.
Yume-gaia twitched her cheek.
"...Ah, let's talk about the room size later. If more members join us, we'll run out of rooms, so I might end up rebuilding the entire house to be larger."
"I don't know much about harems or anything, but honestly, Takano does all sorts of things for the other members and never really does anything that benefits himself. I've never been inside, but based on the layout, isn't his room the same size as everyone else's?"
Yume-gaia said.
"Hehe, you're right. Even though he created these abilities himself, you'd think he could act more like a king, but Soosuke-kun never does that."
"Well, that's just typical of Soosuke, isn't it?"
"...Yes. I think that's precisely why I was able to trust you, Sousuke. You make everything so naturally equitable."
I decided not to think of it as excessive praise...
If I were a member who joined later, and while we called ourselves "comrades," the leader enjoyed superior living conditions or had it better than the rest, I would undoubtedly harbor distrust.
The argument that I was able to build relationships without being intimidating because I treated myself the same as everyone else was convincing when put that way.
Even though these are unconscious actions, being praised makes me feel a little self-conscious.
"Indeed, it seems to reflect your master's kind heart... However, now that the unity of the party is firm, I believe the chief has a right to receive treatment befitting their status."
The ladies nodded in agreement with Loha's words.
It seems they were suggesting that while equality is better for getting along initially, from an organizational perspective, a leader should act like a leader and hold a corresponding position.
"...Well, as long as it just means a slightly bigger room, I suppose it's fine. Let me think about it."
Besides, the fact is that our current bed is a bit too small for nighttime intimacy.
The closeness born from tight quarters has its merits, but it isn't without feeling somewhat cramped at times.
Having a room spacious enough for a larger-sized bed was also personally appealing to me.
And so, having exhausted our time in the Bonus Area,
We were flung into a white void.
◇
The blackboard hovered in the air, and desks and chairs were arranged within a pristine white space.
"The eighth day has concluded."
「We are pleased to announce the upcoming event!」
An event...!
Tension rippled through everyone.
Last time, only the single individual who secured the light orbs could obtain the 『Right to Return』.
Yet this time... 『・Regarding the Event
This is a special initiative held on an irregular basis.
Please be advised that the content and rewards may vary from event to event.』
『The event currently being held is Party Versus Event A.』
『・About Party Versus Event A
Duration —— From the morning of Day Ten until the conclusion of all matches, following the end of Day Nine.
Content —— Only parties composed of exactly five members may participate.
All participating parties will compete in a round-robin tournament.
Reward: In the event that a party secures a perfect record, all members of said party shall be granted 'Right of Return.'
"Wait? Wait? Does that mean we can't get a 'Right of Return' if there are five people this time? Isn't that a great deal?"
Shoushi says that, but...
"No, Shoushi-chan. It's only if they win all their matches, so it's more likely that no one gets anything."
"Ah, right..."
Yes.
In the first event, there was clear intent to grant a reward to at least one person.
But this time, the possibility is shown that it ends with no one gaining anything.
The maximum number of parties that can be formed by the forty transplanted people is eight.
To go undefeated in a round-robin tournament against all other parties, one needs to beat the seven other groups.
In other words, anything less than seven wins out of seven means no reward.
Of course, it's unlikely that exactly eight parties would be formed so neatly, but...
"...It seems the event intends to pit the transplanted against each other."
Introducing party mechanics to encourage unity, while incorporating a competitive element into the event.
If this is an experiment in interworld transplantation, they might be testing what happens when the transplanted are divided into multiple factions and each given the same objective.
Asking for one Hero party to be assembled and tasked with slaying the Demon King.
Or assembling multiple Hero parties and granting the reward only to the first one that successfully slays the Demon King.
It was something like, "Which of these is more efficient in saving the world? Let's find out ourselves..." or something along those lines.
I might be overthinking it, but.
"Hmm. Either way, if we can seize the chance for the five of us to gain the 'Right of Return,' it would be a mistake not to."
"While it's not for me to say, our party seems to hold an advantage over the others, don't you think?"
"I think so too.
It's rare to find a party with this many useful abilities gathered together," Yume-kai said.
I certainly thought so myself, but I also had my concerns.
This was something I should probably post as a question on the Mystery Blackboard later.
"Details regarding the event will be announced at the end of Day Nine."
...I see, so they intend to keep the specific details under wraps right up until the last minute.
For now, it meant that Transferers aiming for a five-person party should start planning, and those already in large groups needed to discuss how to split up or who would participate.
Even if I decided to ask them questions later, it was time to make my choice between the two options first.
“A question. What do you need for life from here on out?
The homeroom teacher / the vice-homeroom teacher.”
“…………Huh?”
All of us stared in disbelief at the phrase written on the blackboard.
Whether teachers get pulled into the class transfer varies from work to work, but
in this story, it looks like a female teacher will be joining us later on.
Given the style of the work, adding more male teachers would be awkward, so a female teacher is confirmed.
I hope you’ll enjoy it.

That day, we were also given the right to take seven items from the bonus area.
Deep Law is a textbook. This makes it the third compulsory subject.
Even if we have all the textbooks for second year high school, it might be worth checking out reference books or third year textbooks.
Well, I don't know if our life on the desert island will last that long.
Chiyu chose an additional controller for the game console I bought.
The game console can be split into two controllers for two-player play, so thanks to Chiyu, it's now possible to play with up to four people.
I chose a party game to match Chiyu's selection.
It's a game based on a board game with various elements added, and it was one of the classic games I used to play with friends when I was young.
Shouko and Shion chose portable showers, meaning we'll be taking two more items.
It seemed to be very convenient, and we decided to eventually get one for each person so that we could shower efficiently.
Indeed, for the girls, repeatedly filling buckets with water might be quite a chore.
Considering that several of us have long hair, it's possible that our hands might get tired before we finish washing it all out. Well, that leaves Roa and the Dream World.
Roah the maid chose a printer to match the notebook computer she had brought back the other day.
It was a decision made by everyone since it would make things easier for printing textbooks, copies of documents, and data created on the notebook computer.
Paper could be cleanly generated with my "Crafting Ability," so there was no problem with that.
The issue was ink, but since we would be coming to the bonus area in the future, we could just bring it back when it ran out.
Dream World had declined to make a selection again, so we chose a tablet PC.
It was also a process to secretly give them what they wanted, and it wasn't something that would cause trouble.
So, with "Textbooks," "Controllers," "Game Software," "Portable Shower," "Portable Shower," "Printer," and "Tablet PC," we completed our selection of seven items.
"Until now, I've been prioritizing things that my 'Crafting Ability' can't make, but maybe it's time to start selecting things even if I don't know if I can get the materials."
I told everyone just before we finished selecting.
"Hmm. Since I can't get metal, I can't ask Suchi-kun to make a bra with a wire for me."
Chiyu nodded and said.
"Also, I can't get the materials for clothes. No, linen, wool, and cashmere are amazing, though."
The maids followed up.
As a high school girl who likes fashion, she might feel frustrated that she can't enjoy the style she wants with the materials available now.
The world isn't full of people like me, who think it's fine as long as they're not the lowest common denominator.
"If we add cotton and silk as options, the range of clothes you can create with your power would increase significantly... If it's been a few days and there's still no sign of them, I think it would be okay to bring back such clothes." Shinbo seems to agree.
"Then, we should get food too. I'm sure you guys... everyone wants to eat rice sometimes, so we could pick something with a lot of it and bring it back."
Shion made a chef-like suggestion.
"In that case, I think the master's room should be made more splendid. While I understand we should leave the space as it is to match the size of the house's master... I would like at least a large, luxurious bed to be placed."
"Hmm. I agree. Let's buy a bed big enough for a harem king. Even if it's handmade."
Loa and Chiyu's comments made the women blush. Muki's cheeks twitched.
"...Well, let's talk about the room size later. If we get more members, we might need to rebuild the house to be bigger."
"I don't know about harems, but you're right. Kino does so much for the other members and doesn't really do anything for himself. I haven't been inside, but the room sizes are all the same, right?" Muki said.
"Hee hee, that's true. Since he made it with his own abilities, he could have acted more like a king, but he didn't, did he?"
"Well, that's just like Kino."
「...That's true. I think I could trust you, Sōsuke, because you always treat everyone equally.」
I'll take that as a compliment...
If I had joined as a new member, I would have felt suspicious if the leader was treated better than everyone else.
I guess it's true that treating everyone the same helped me build a relationship without making anyone feel intimidated.
It's an unconscious action, so I feel a bit flattered.
「I do think the mansion reflects your kind heart, but now that we're a solid team, the leader should receive the treatment befitting their position.」
The girls nodded in agreement with Roa's words.
Equality is good when getting to know each other, but from an organizational standpoint, the leader should act like a leader and have the appropriate status...
「Well, I guess a bit more space isn't a bad thing. I'll think about it.」
Besides, the current bed is actually a bit cramped for our nighttime activities.
The closeness is nice, but it can also feel a bit uncomfortable.
A room with a bigger bed would be nice for me personally.
And so, we finished our stay in the bonus area.
We were sent flying into a white space. ◇
The blackboard floated, and a desk and chair were set up in the completely white space. 『The eighth day has ended』
『We will announce the event』 ――An event...! Tension ran through everyone.
Last time, only the one who secured the light ball could obtain the 'return right' during the event... 『・About the Event
It will be held irregularly.
Please be aware that the content and rewards may differ for each event』
『The event being held this time is the Party Competition Event A』
『・About the Party Competition Event A
Duration――From the morning of the tenth day after the ninth day ends until all matches are completed.
Content――Only parties consisting of five members are allowed to participate.
Parties will engage in a round-robin competition.
Reward――Only the members of the party that wins all their matches will receive the "Return Right." ###
"Huh? Huh? So, does that mean none of us get the 'Return Right' this time? Isn't that a bad deal?" The summoned one says, but... ###
"No, Shokusho-chan. It's only if you win all your matches, so it's more likely that nobody will get it." "Oh, I see..." That's right. ###
In the first event, there was at least an intention to give a reward to at least one person. ###
But this time, it's possible that nobody will get anything. ###
With forty transferers, the maximum number of parties that can be formed is eight. ###
If you have to win against everyone else, you need to beat seven other parties. ###
In other words, unless you win all seven matches, there's no reward. ###
Of course, it's unlikely that the eight parties will be formed so neatly... ###
"...It seems the event intends to pit the transferers against each other." ###
By introducing party functions to encourage unity, and then adding a competitive element to the event. ###
If this is an experiment on world transfer, they might be testing what happens when transferers are divided into multiple factions and given the same goal.
Either prepare a hero party and entrust them with the task of defeating the Demon King, or...
Prepare multiple hero parties and only give rewards to the one that defeats the Demon King first.
Which one is more efficient in saving the world, we'll test it out... or something like that. Maybe I'm overthinking it.
"Hmm. Either way, there's no point in letting the five of you miss the chance to get the 'Return Rights.'"
"I don't mean to boast, but I think this party is more advantageous than others."
"I agree. It's not often you see a party with such convenient abilities gathered together." Dream Realm says.
Indeed, I think the same, but there are concerns as well.
I should probably ask about this on the mystery blackboard later.
"The details of the event will be announced at the end of the ninth day."
...So, they're planning to keep the specifics under wraps until the last minute.
For now, the transferers should aim to form a five-person party, or if they're already a large group, discuss how to split up and who will participate.
When asking questions, it seems we'll have to wait until the time of the two choices.
Got a question. Between a homeroom teacher and an assistant homeroom teacher, what’s needed for our future lives?
Homeroom Teacher/Assistant Homeroom Teacher: "…………Huh?"
We all stared in disbelief at the phrase written on the blackboard.
Class transfers, sometimes involving teachers, vary from work to work,
but in this one, it seems a female teacher will show up later on.
Given the style of the work, it’s definitely going to be a female teacher. Thank you very much.
