The variety of fish they caught was vast, but for lunch, we settled on nothing more than salt-grilled sweetfish.

There were plans to keep afterward, and besides, the other catch could easily wait until dinner or later.

Despite the lingering danger of the Avranque, everyone rejoiced that adding river fish to their diet had been a good thing, and the lunch hour slipped by in celebration.

"Tatekino-kun! You are so splendid! Splendid, splendid indeed!"

The one saying this and stroking my head was Teacher Luminas, her face flushed red.

In her other hand, a wine glass swayed dangerously.

"Oh, thank you."

"I hear that thanks to you, the other students have finally come to realize 'ability' as an option! When all is said and done, you've been a great help to me as well!"

Honestly, I believed it was Teishiko's achievement who had picked up on my comments and made the class aware of it.

Still, most of the boys had already made their choices by then, so it seems they couldn't make it in time.

"Well, one could say that."

"Good boy! Thinking about what would have happened if you hadn't noticed it is truly terrifying!"

Saying this, the teacher pulled me into a hug.

Chiyu, my childhood friend who boasts the largest breasts in Class One.

My face was swallowed up by two massive, soft mounds that even surpassed those of my childhood friend.

I was enveloped by a blissful sensation and a melting scent.

"Good girl, good girl."

At that moment, apart from the sense of supreme happiness, another concern crossed my mind.

Did the teacher usually keep her memories when she was drunk, or did they disappear?

If the former was true, wouldn't I take damage later on?

"...Chiyu."

I tried to call out to my childhood friend, but with my face buried in the teacher's chest, I couldn't pronounce it properly.

"Rumi-chan gets bold when she's drunk."

"Usual Rumi-san wouldn't do something like that to Souseki-kun. But as a party, it's better if we get closer..."

"Ugh... A teacher and student, how lewd that is. B-but since we're on a desert island in another world, it would be uncivilized to apply modern Japanese common sense..."

"Hmm. If you say that, then that boy's harem shouldn't be allowed either."

None of the four—Shuko, Shion, Fukaho, and Chiyu—seemed to intend to stop Teacher Ruminas.

«It’s not ideal to rely on alcohol, but it’s a good thing that Miss Luminous has come to appreciate your Master’s charm.»

"I think I’m right in saying Takano is impressive, but are you just going to let this go?"

"Hmm~ We can't really push the issue while we're drunk, can we? Wait a sec? This is an异 world (isekai), isn't it? Isn't there a chance the laws are different? There are tons of fantasies where super young kids are drinking."

"Ehh... even Mr. Luminas... i-if things stay like this, I'll be left behind... b-but..."

Loa, Mugen, Shoubu, and Genchu reacted in various ways.

But Mugen’s thoughts seemed close to my own.

Indeed, I don't think leaving things as they are is a good idea.

Eventually, I was on the verge of suffocating in my master's embrace.

"Intermediate Cure."

Chiyu finally casted a healing spell on the professor.

"Wobbly-wobbly, Takano-san is truly— eh?"

It seemed like the tension left the professor's body, so I gently pulled away.

"Luminas-n, did the drunkenness wear off?"

Chiyu said with his usual expressionless face.

"Whaa—. W-What have I done...!"

Seeing Sensei turn a deep crimson for reasons entirely different from before, and attempting to bow in a full prostrate apology right there on the spot, we managed to just barely stop her.

It seemed she was the type whose memory retained all details.

"Sensei! I don't mind it at all."

"That is unacceptable! Attempting inappropriate contact with a student is an act that can never be tolerated!"

"But Sensei, this is another world now. As they say, when in Rome..."

"Ugh. Y-You're right... I suppose one could look at it that way... but..."

"Everyone knows how dedicated and composed you are at school. Just because we've seen a different side of you in this different world doesn't mean you've become a bad teacher."

"...Yes, that's true. Bowing my head here would only be self-indulgent. I will make up for it through my future work!"

Resolve settled into Sensei's eyes.

"So... are we not having any more alcohol?"

Chiya asked quietly.

At that, Sensei flinched and shuddered.

"T-That is... well, you're right. It seems best to abstain from now on... isn't it..."

The depth of her disappointment was staggering.

"Well, no one's really in trouble over it, so it's all good, isn't it?"

"N-no, that's not true. You've caused us quite a bit of trouble, Kuno-kun..."

"Besides, Rumi-chan, you act like that when you're drunk—were you really okay before this?"

Shouko interjects.

Indeed, with such a gap between her usual self and her tipsy state, it’s easy to see how men might get the wrong idea.

"Huh? No, I'm fine with that. It just means I can't hide what I really think anymore. There have been times when I used to turn things down gently, but instead blurted out a harsh refusal, and the atmosphere froze over," she said.

I see. So it's not that her guard drops, but rather her social filters slip, allowing her true feelings to surface more strongly when she drinks.

...In which case, it seems it's a fact that Professor thinks of me as an admirable person.

"Well, we're not intending to forbid it on our end."

Being praised by Professor didn't make for a bad feeling.

"Ahh... despite being your student/teacher, I've shown you my embarrassing side," she wailed.

“Drunk Rumi was so cute.”

“Ugh.”

Moeo follows up with another attack.

"But it was a close call. If it had been any guy other than Sousuke-san, who knows what might have happened..."

Fukamitsu said with a worried tone.

With Fuka having a history of being targeted by two guys, it’s understandable she’d still feel uneasy.

"I, I’ll be careful..."

"Speaking of guys—weren’t you supposed to be looking for the remaining males?"

Yuumei’s words made Sensei snap back to reality.

"That’s right! Everyone, would you mind if we asked for your help?"

So, they spent the afternoon searching for the guys and attempting a deal.

"Since Sensei will broker the deal, let's split into search teams and a stay-behind group."

If it were just about finding them, splitting the search force into two teams would have been fine, but they couldn’t risk any friction arising in the group without Sensei Lumina.

It was a bit more trouble, but it seemed best to have Sensei Lumina accompany them when meeting the guys.

So, the search team consisted of Mashiro, me, Chiyu, Shōko, Shiine, Sensei Lumina, and Fuka.

Mashiro’s keen sense of smell, Shōko the summoner, me who could conjure various things on the spot, Shiine who could detect lies, Sensei Lumina acting as mediator, and Fuka as a combat asset in case things went south.

Chiyu would have been helpful on this side too, but I had intended to ask her to stay behind for a change.

It had turned out that her 『Strength Enhancement』 worked on the illusion beasts as well, so I figured that in an emergency, she could strengthen Mikron and defend the base.

Genchū can transform into an illusion beast too, after all.

But when he declared, "I'm coming with you. I won't let you regret it," he joined the exploration squad.

So the stay-behind team ended up being Mikron, Roa, Yume-kai, Shoubu, and Genchu.

It would be safer if Sennyu stayed behind, but with Micron already inside the boundary of Yume-kyō, their defenses and combat capabilities are already more than sufficient.

"Once this is done, we take over the island."

Sennyu said.

"Well, it’s a huge deal just for the Teleporters to stop being a threat."

Currently, not only are they hostile during events, but the men have lost their composure and become a genuine threat to the women.

I really hope they can regain their composure and act calmly for the sake of their respective 'Right of Return.'

The exploration squad and the stay-behind team parted ways right there at the river.

The entire exploration group mounted Mashiro's back.

"Alright, we're heading out."

Please, I beg you!!!!!

The variety of fish we caught is enormous, but we're only having grilled sweetfish for lunch.

We have other plans, so the rest of the fish can be eaten after dinner.

Despite the risk of Arvank, everyone is happy that adding river fish was a good idea.

"Kouno-kun! You're so great! So great!"

Saying this, the rosy-cheeked Lumina teacher is patting my head.

In her other hand, she's holding a wine glass, which is swaying. "Ah, thank you."

"Apparently, thanks to you, the other kids also realized the 'ability' option! In a way, the teacher was also saved!"

To be honest, I think it was Shouko's achievement that picked up on my words and made the class realize it.

Still, most of the boys had already made their choices, so it seems they didn't make it in time.

"Well, you could say that."

"Amazing! I'm so glad you noticed! Otherwise, it would have been terrifying!"

Saying this, the teacher hugs me.

My childhood friend, Chiyu, boasts the biggest breasts in the class.

Even my childhood friend's impressive busts pale in comparison to these two soft mountains that swallowed my face.

I am enveloped in a blissful sensation and a melting scent. "Good boy, good boy."

At this moment, in addition to the feeling of bliss, a certain worry crossed my mind.

Would the teacher remember what happened when she was drunk, or would she forget?

If she remembered, would I suffer damage later on? "…Chiyu."

I tried to call my childhood friend’s name, but I couldn’t pronounce it properly while buried in the teacher’s chest.

“Lumi-chan gets so proactive when she’s drunk.”

“Normally, the teacher wouldn’t do something like that to Sou-suke-kun, but it’s better for the party if we get along…”

“Ugh… It’s so lewd for a teacher and student to do this. But, but this is a desert island in a different world, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring up modern Japanese norms…”

“Mm. If you say that, then Sou-kun’s harem would also be unacceptable.”

Shouko, Shion, Shinpo, and Chiyu don’t seem to have any intention of stopping Lumina-sensei.

「Relying on alcohol isn’t ideal, but it’s good that Lumina-sama has noticed your charm, isn’t it?」

「I think it’s right that Kouno’s mature, but can we just leave it at that?」

「Hmm. We can’t take advantage of being drunk, can we? Wait, this is a different world, right? There’s a possibility the laws are different, right? There’s a lot of fantasy where really young kids drink, right?」

「Eh... even you, Lumina-sensei... If we don’t act now... but...」

Loa, the Dream Realm, the Makeup Department, and the Illusionary Companions have various reactions.

But the Dream Realm’s thoughts are close to mine.

Yes, I think leaving it be isn’t good.

Eventually, when I nearly suffocated in the teacher’s chest, “Intermediate Healing”

Thousand Heal finally cast a healing spell on the teacher.

“Wobbly, Kouno-kun is really... huh?”

Since the teacher’s strength seemed to have left her, I gently pulled away.

“Luminasun, are you sober now?” Thousand Heal asked in her usual expressionless tone.

「~~~~~~~~! W-What have I done...!」

The teacher's face turned red for a different reason than before, and she tried to bow down right there, but I stopped her.

It seems that her memory is the type that stays.

「Teacher, I don't mind it.」

「No, you can't! Making inappropriate contact with a student is not something that can be forgiven!」

「But Teacher, this is a different world. They say you should go with the flow when you're in a foreign land.」

「Ugh. W-Well, I suppose there is some truth to that...」

「Everyone knows that you're a responsible teacher at school. Just because you show a different side of yourself in a different world doesn't mean you're a bad teacher.」

「...You're right. Bowing down here wouldn't accomplish anything. I'll make amends with my future work!」 A determination shone in the teacher's eyes.

「Then, will you not drink anymore?」 Chiyo asked quietly.

The teacher shuddered.

「W-Well, y-yes, it would probably be better if I didn't...」 She looked extremely downcast.

「Well, no one’s really in trouble, so it’s fine, right?」

「N-no, I’ve caused you a lot of trouble, Kouya-kun...」

「Hey, Rumi-chan, you’ve always been like that when you drink, and you’ve never had any problems before?」 Shokushi chimed in.

Indeed, with the contrast to her usual self, it’s easy to see how guys might get the wrong idea.

「Huh? No, it’s fine. I just can’t hide my true feelings anymore. I’ve had times when I’ve been blunt with guys who I usually gently turned down, and the atmosphere got really awkward.」

I see. Instead of relaxing her guard, she relaxes her pretenses and lets her true feelings come out more strongly.

...If that’s the case, then the teacher really does think I’m a good guy.

「Well, we don’t plan on forbidding it.」

It’s not unpleasant to have the teacher praise me.

「Ugh... The teacher saw me at my most pitiful.」

「Rumi-chan was so cute when she was drunk.」 「Ugh.」 Shokushi added another blow.

「But it was dangerous. If it had been any other guy instead of Soju...」 Shinpo said worriedly.

As a girl who was once targeted by two boys, Fukaho would probably still feel anxious. "I'll be careful..."

"Speaking of boys, shouldn't we look for the rest of them?"

Hearing the words of the dream world, the teacher was startled.

"That's right! Everyone, would you mind helping me out?"

So we decided to spend the afternoon searching for the boys and trying to make a deal.

"We'll have the teacher act as a mediator, so let's split into a search group and a group that stays behind."

If we were just searching, we could make two search groups, but it would be problematic if something went wrong without Lumina-sensei around.

It would be a bit of a hassle, but it would be better to have Lumina-sensei with us when we meet the boys.

So the search group consists of Mashiro, me, Senyuu, Shouko, Shion, Lumina-sensei, and Fukaho.

Mashiro's sense of smell, Shouko as a summoner, my ability to do various things on the spot, Shion's ability to see through lies, Lumina-sensei as the mediator, and Fukaho as backup in case of a fight.

Senyuu could also help here, but I had initially planned to ask her to stay behind.

Since I found out that her "Strength Enhancement" ability also worked on phantoms, I wanted her to enhance Mikuron and defend the base in case of an emergency. Phantom Jun could also transform into a phantom.

But since she said, "I won't let you regret following me," the explorers went with her.

So, the ones left behind were Mikuron, Roa, Dream World, Cosmetics, and Illusion.

Though it would be safer for Senyuu to stay behind, with Mikuron in Dream World's barrier, they were already well defended and ready for combat. "Once this is done, we'll unify the island," Senyuu said.

"Well, just the threat of the transferers disappearing is already a huge deal."

Currently, the boys were not only a threat during the event, but also a danger to the girls due to their loss of composure.

I wished they could regain their composure and act calmly for their own right to return.

The explorers and the ones left behind parted ways at the river.

All of them climbed onto Mashiro's back. "I'll be back."
