「Well, thanks to everyone here, I’ve managed to establish contact with all forty students scattered across this island and secure their cooperation. Thank you so much for indulging my eccentricities as their teacher. You’re all truly admirable! I’m deeply proud of you all！」

Teacher Luminous held her cup up, delivering a toast.

It certainly didn’t seem like an illusion that her eyes were glistening with tears.

「Let us continue to hold hands together and survive on this desert island! Cheers!」

"Cheers!" the group’s voices echoed in unison.

After that, everyone sat down to their meal.

Ku-ku-ku. "Chii-chan. I’m challenging you for a rematch."

Shouko held her chopsticks, smiling with a wicked smirk.

"Hoo... Let’s see what kind of growth you’ve made since then, Shouko-chan."

Chi crossed her arms, responding while projecting an air of quiet, cool confidence.

On the heated stone slab, wild boar sizzled loudly.

Roach the maid flipped the meat at the perfect moment when one side was perfectly seared.

Tension crackled between the two of them.

A bead of sweat trickled down Shouko’s cheek.

Chi remained perfectly composed.

Then, the moment arrived.

"Now...!"

Shouko’s eyes widened sharply, and her arm shot out in a thrusting motion.

The chopsticks, which were just about to grasp a piece of freshly grilled meat... instead, struck the empty air.

"Wha...t!?"

Shouko let out a groan of shock.

The meat that seemed to have vanished was now sitting on Chiya's plate.

"Shouko-chan, you got faster, huh. But... the meat was only finished one second before you moved."

"Grrr... I lost again!"

Shouko dropped her shoulders in defeat.

"I'm open to a rematch anytime."

Displaying the composure of a winner, Chiya took a bite of the meat.

Everyone else, having avoided the intense battle between the two, was eating peacefully, with the maid Loath placing food on their plates at just the right moments.

Presumably, Loath was using her 'Ability to Know What You Want,' providing opponents with what they desired exactly when they wanted it.

"Thanks, Loath. But please make sure you eat your own meal properly."

"Thank you for your concern. I will attend to my own portion in due course."

Professor Luminous was served a steak of wild boar and enjoyed it deliciously alongside the wine.

By the way, aside from wine, brewing other alcoholic beverages has been currently proving difficult.

That's apparently why the crops assigned to this island are 'wheat'—since it can be used for various types of brewing—and not 'barley.'

Wheat itself is indeed utilized in brewing, but it seems serving as just one ingredient isn't enough; having it alone doesn't cut it.

There's no 'rice' either, so we can't produce sake or any other rice-based spirits.

Sake is useful for cooking sake, and if they had glutinous rice, they could make mirin as well, so Shiune seems to be strongly seeking rice.

They did manage to buy some in the bonus area, but that portion was meant for the team to eat……

Life on this desert island is becoming increasingly convenient, yet there are still plenty of things they desire.

The future holds promise.

"Yorina. Back then, when the Treant grabbed your tail by surprise... I'm really sorry."

"I've heard it too many times already. Didn't I say it wasn't your fault? If I hadn't been so preoccupied with my tablet, none of this would have happened."

Genchu is apologizing to Yorina.

Genchu, having turned into a Black Dragon, had his tail grabbed by the Treant.

The impact from that moment caused Yorina to fall.

However, as Yorina herself pointed out, she was also careless.

It's hard to say either party was truly at fault.

"...I know. Just be more careful next time, okay?"

"I'll deploy a barrier around me for the next one too. That way, monsters will just bounce off anyway."

Glad they weren’t holding any grudges.

"Hey hey, Boss."

Sōbe quietly approached Fukuhō and started whispering to her.

"What's on your mind, Sōbe-san?"

"Oh, just call me Junme, please."

"Thank you. I'll do the same then, Ms. Junme."

"So... I have a question for Boss."

"Hmm?"

"...How did it come to pass that you got in bed with Takano?"

"Cough! hrrk!"

Fukuhō choked audibly.

"Waa, sorry, sorry. Here, drink some water!"

"Ah, thank you..."

Sōbe handed the water to Fukuhō and rubbed her back for comfort.

"Don't be so surprised, I'm sorry, Boss."

"It's f-fine... but why ask me?"

"Because he'd give the most proper advice?"

"A, advice? No way..."

"Well, yeah... I don't think you need to say why."

"...Y-Yes. So it is. If you want my help, I'm in."

"Yahoo! Major-san is so cute!"

I should probably stop listening for now.

I tried to slip away quietly when someone grabbed my arm.

"Ikuno-kun! What are you doing?"

It was Miss Luminous, drunk as a skunk.

"Miss... memories stay, so you should ease up..."

"No way! It's a celebration! Besides, you've really turned out great, Ikuno-kun!"

"Ah, thank you."

Her arm was draped over mine, and the feeling of her chest against me made my heart race.

「Today, I'm sorry. This is all Mr./Ms. Sensei's fault!»

「No, no, it's because the sensei was there that we were able to keep the classmates in check. We should be thanking you instead。」

My companions don't ask me to save others at my own expense.

Because they understand the burden such a request would place on me.

But even so, there must have been a sense of concern for their friends.

While it's clear that my party has the better living conditions, compared to where the girls are staying with me or Seihou, their safety is accounted for.

Even if they don't say it out loud, there might have been a lingering guilt about being privileged in comparison.

However, with Mr./Ms. Luminas mediating, we were able to connect with everyone, allowing us to distribute the generated items from my ability to the other students as well.

Moreover, since we acquire materials and information on our end too, it's not a loss for us.

「I never would have realized that Kunou-kun was such an admirable person back when he was on Earth。」

「Hahaha, I was just one of the unnoticed ones, you know.」

Being close to Chiyu, a beautiful girl—that was, if I had to name it, my most conspicuous trait.

"Perhaps one cannot truly gauge a person's worth through school life alone."

"That's how it is, I suppose."

"I’m so gl...! In that sense too, I’m glad I came to this desert island."

The Sensei began to wobble unsteadily.

I manifested a wooden chair and placed it there. I had the Sensei sit down.

"Such thoughtfulness is lovely..."

As I gently guided her into the seat, the Sensei reached out and stroked my head.

"There, there... Good boy, good boy..."

"...Thanks."

It was somewhat embarrassing.

"I, I must, give thanks for this."

His voice was high and thin.

"There's no need to worry about it."

"N-no... I think it’s necessary. Is there anything you want me to do for you, Kuano-kun...?"

The Sensei’s face, flushed red from alcohol, looked strangely alluring.

Her glistening eyes trembled, as if afraid of being rejected.

"Uh..."

"Or perhaps... older women like the Sensei are out of bounds?"

The topic of gratitude seemed to have shifted into a discussion about women's preferences...

"No way. It's not just me; pretty much all the guys here... look up to Sensei."

The reason I corrected myself to say "pretty much" was because of Tenkai, with his taste for mature women, flashing through my mind.

From his perspective, Sensei would probably still fall into the category of being too young.

"R-really...? Compared to high school girls, do you think of me as a middle-aged woman?"

"I think of Sensei as an older sister."

Hearing the term "older sister," Teacher Luminous relaxed with a look of relief.

Then, she looked up at me again.

"Then... Kunou-kun... is there anything you'd like your older sister to do for you?"

I swallowed hard.

In that instant, my eyes involuntarily fell on her twin mounds, which were even more impressive than Chiya's.

She reacted sensitively to the direction of my gaze.

And after glaring at me with a bashful, admonishing look, she let out a playful little laugh, as if permitting a mischievous act.

"I understand quite well. I'll keep that in mind."

As the teacher smiled and said this, she had discarded the mask of her earnestness as vice-homeroom teacher, wrapping herself instead in an adult allure.

“Sousuke~. Sorry, would it be okay if I had some additional ingredients brought out?”

Just then, Shiin’s voice reached me from behind.

“You don’t have to worry about Sensei anymore. Please go take care of her.”

“Yeah. Ah, just… try not to drink too much, okay?”

“Heh heh. Sure, I’ll be careful.”

I turned my back on Sensei and headed toward Shiin.

Did Sensei notice?

That halfway through, my drunken tone had vanished.

In other words, was she pretending to be drunk just so she could talk to me?

If that was the case, I couldn’t help but find Sensei incredibly cute.

The book version will finally be released next week on the 25th!!!!!!

I hope you can enjoy it alongside the web version!!!!!

「Well, thanks to all of you, I was able to contact and establish cooperation with all forty students scattered across this island. I really appreciate your putting up with my whims. You are all truly wonderful! I am proud of you!」

Luminous-sensei raised her glass and made a toast.

The moisture in her eyes was not an illusion.

"Let's all work together to survive on this desert island! Cheers!"

Cheers, cheers, cheers, the voices of everyone echoed. After that, it was time for everyone to eat.

"Ku ku ku, Chiyu-chan. I'm going to challenge you to a rematch."

Shouko, holding her chopsticks, smiled wickedly.

"Huh... I'll show you my growth, Shouko-chan."

Chiyu crossed her arms and responded with a hint of a tough character.

On the heated stone slab, the boar meat sizzled.

Loa, the maid, flipped the meat at the perfect moment when one side was cooked to perfection. Tension ran between the two. A bead of sweat ran down Shouko's cheek. Chiyu remained calm.

Finally, the moment arrived. "Now..."

The chopsticks, instead of grasping the freshly cooked piece of meat, pierced the air. "W-what...!?" The butler groaned in shock.

The meat that seemed to have disappeared was sitting on Senyuu's plate.

"Shouko-chan, you're getting faster, but... the meat was completed just a second before you started moving."

"Kuh... I couldn't win again!" The butler slumped his shoulders.

"I'm always ready for a rematch."

Senyuu showed off her victory with a satisfied expression as she took a bite of the meat.

Apart from the two who had just fought, everyone else was able to eat peacefully thanks to the maid, Roa, who placed food on each person's plate at the right moment.

Probably, Roa was using her ability to understand what others wanted, and was providing food at the right time based on that.

"Thanks, Roa. But make sure to eat your own food too."

"Thank you for your concern. I will make sure to eat my share as well."

Mr. Lumines was enjoying a boar steak with wine.

By the way, other than wine, brewing other types of alcohol was currently struggling.

This island has wheat, but it seems that barley is used for various types of alcohol production.

Wheat is also used in alcohol production, but it seems that it's just one of the materials and isn't the only thing needed.

Also, there's no rice, so sake can't be produced.

Sake is useful for making cooking wine, and with glutinous rice, mirin can be made as well, so it seems that Shion really wants rice.

I did buy some from the bonus area, but that's for everyone to eat...

Life on this desert island is getting more and more convenient, but there are still things I want. I'll have to look forward to the future.

"Seirin. When Trent caught my tail... I'm really sorry."

"I've heard it so many times. I told you it wasn't your fault. If I hadn't been distracted by the tablet, it wouldn't have happened."
Genjuu is apologizing to Seirin.

When Genjuu turned into a black dragon, Trent caught his tail.

The shock caused Seirin to fall.

But as Seirin herself said, she was also careless. Neither of them can be blamed.

"...Okay. I'll be more careful next time."

「I'll make sure to set up a barrier around us next time. That way, the monsters won't even get close.」

I'm glad they didn't get into a fight. 「Hey, nice guy.」

Shoubu is leaning in close to Shinpo, whispering something to her.

「What's wrong, Shoubu-san?」

「Uh, you can just call me Runa.」

「Thank you. Then I'll do that, Runa-san.」

「Well, I wanted to ask you something... Nice guy.」 「Yes?」

「...How did you end up having sex with Koyo?」 Shinpo choked loudly.

「Huh, sorry sorry. Here, drink some water!」 「Ah, thank you...」

Shoubu handed Shinpo some water and patted her back.

「I didn't mean to surprise you like that, Shinpo. I'm sorry.」

「I-it's okay... But, why me?」

「Because you seem like the one who would give the best advice?」

「Ah, advice... You mean...」

「Well, yeah... There's no need to explain the reason, right?」

「...Right. Since it's you, Tsunehisa. If you need help, I'll do my best.」

「Yay! Thanks a lot, nice guy!」

I shouldn't ask any more questions.

I quietly stepped away, but someone pulled my arm.

「Kouno-kun! What are you doing?」

It was Dr. Lumina, who was drunk.

「Sir... You should be careful. Your memories will be affected...」

「It's okay! This is a celebration! And Kouno-kun, you're so impressive!」
「Thank you.」

Her arm was wrapped around mine, and my chest was pressed against her, making me tense up.

「Sorry for today, it's all because of you, sir!」

「No, no, it's because you were here that I was able to keep the class together. I'm the one who should be thanking you.」

My friends don't ask me to save others.

They understand the burden it brings.

But that didn't mean they weren't worried about their friends.

The girls are with me or Shou, so I know they're safe, but my party is clearly better off when it comes to living.

They might have felt guilty about being the only ones who were lucky.

But thanks to Lumina-sensei mediating, we were able to connect with everyone and share the products of my abilities.

And we get materials and information in return, so it's a win-win.

「I didn't realize you were such a great person, Kouya-kun. Not when I was on Earth.」

「Haha, I wasn't very noticeable.」

Being close to the beautiful Chiyou is, if anything, my most noticeable trait.

「Maybe school life alone isn't enough to find a person's true value.」 「That's how it is, huh?」

「That's right...! In that sense, I think you're glad you came to the desert island.」 The teacher started to sway.

I generated a wooden chair and placed it, seating the teacher.

「This kind of consideration is also wonderful...」

As I gently seated her, the teacher reached out and stroked my head.

「Good, good... You're doing well, you're doing well...」 「...Thanks.」 I felt a bit embarrassed.

「W-Well... I should thank you...」 The teacher's voice was strained. 「There's no need to worry about it.」

「N-No... I think it's necessary. Is there anything you want me to do for you, Kino-kun...?」

The teacher's face, flushed red from alcohol, looked strangely sexy.

Her moist eyes seemed to tremble in fear of being rejected. 「Um...」

「Or... Are women your age off-limits to you?」

The conversation about gratitude had somehow shifted to her preferences...

「No way. Not just me, but all the guys... almost everyone has a crush on the teacher.」

I changed it to "almost everyone" because I remembered how much Tenbogun loves mature women.

From his perspective, the teacher is probably too young.

"H-Really? Don't you think she looks like an aunt compared to a high school girl?"

"I think of her as an older sister."

Luminas-sensei looked relieved at the term "older sister." Then she looked up at me again.

"So... Kouno-kun... is there anything you want your older sister to do for you?" I swallowed hard.

In a split second, I caught a glimpse of her breasts, which even surpassed Senyuu's.

She reacted sensitively to my gaze.

Then, she glared at me in embarrassment before smiling as if to forgive my mischief.

"I see. I'll remember that."

Smiling, she shed her facade of the serious vice principal and exuded an adult's allure.

「Sousuke-kun. Sorry, could I ask for some extra ingredients?」

At that moment, Shion's voice came from behind me.

「It's fine, so please go ahead.」

「Yes. Please be careful not to drink too much.」

「Hehe. Yes, I will be careful.」

I turned my back on the teacher and headed towards Shion. Did the teacher notice?

From halfway through, my voice was no longer slurred.

In other words, she had been pretending to be drunk just to talk to me.

If that was the case, she seemed incredibly cute.

The book version will finally be released on the 25th next week!!!!!

I hope you can enjoy it along with the web version!!!!!
