Inui looked at me with an air of anticipation.

She had once told me that what Momo needed wasn't the validation of countless others, but rather just one person whom she could be absolutely certain was on her side.

And if this gaze meant anything……

"Could it be…? Am I that 'one person'?"

It wasn't vanity; from the flow of the conversation, I sensed that she expected as much.

Even so, a flush of embarrassment heated my cheeks, and Inui watched me with a look of quiet approval.

"Yes. It’s not merely that you are sexually promiscuous; it seems you have a positive influence on the women around you." / "That's a stretch."

"Excessive modesty can sound like sarcasm, you know?"

After saying this to gently admonish me as I gave a wry smile, she continued.

"The most noticeable ones would be Yomikai-san and Yume-kyai-san, wouldn't they? Yomikai-san, for instance, had become so skilled at reading the room that she seemed suffocatingly constrained, but now it feels like I see her laughing from the heart."

...I see. It seems she wasn't just speaking in generalities.

Shion was conscious of how she carried herself.

Things had gotten considerably easier after I met Shoushi in my new grade, but it seemed like making things work within the closed confines of a classroom took a significant amount of effort.

Shion’s ability to remain free from jealousy despite her immense popularity was likely due to her subtle consideration for others and her apt handling of social situations.

Even after joining our group, she still seemed to worry about lacking combat ability, but it appeared that she had gained confidence through her definitive role as head cook and her 'ability to detect lies,' which proved useful at critical moments.

If Shion has learned to laugh with all her heart, and if my presence contributed positively to that, then it is truly a delightful thing.

"Dyumai-sama, due to your earnest nature, you used to find human relations burdensome. However, it seems that now you hold affection for me regardless of profit or loss, debt or credit. You must have done something that erased your resistance to building deep connections."

It is true that Ioreina was a lone wolf type who did not try to get friendly with us.

I fondly recall how she used to be careful and hesitant in various ways, mindful of settling debts and favors.

But through gradually deepening our interactions, and specifically when I rushed into danger to save her life, I believe I was able to dismantle the walls she had erected.

"Fujutsuki-sama also seems happy. She could be described as a variant of the 'doting type,' but surely that doesn't mean it works with just anyone. By meeting you, she must have acquired the core that was missing from her life."

Roar had originally worked at a maid cafe, but it seemed that was merely a way to stave off hunger, as she lacked an 'ideal Master.'

She certainly recognized a certain 'Master-quality' in me, and has faithfully served me ever since.

Of course, for me she is a dear comrade and lover, but precisely because of that, I wanted to treat her as the maid she desires to be.

"Ironwood seems to have been under the impression that she was a disliked person, but she’s clearly acclimated to your party. It must be because someone affirmed her appeal to her. And it seems you’ve all built a relationship strong enough for her to believe in that affirmation."

Fukaho had often been shunned precisely because of his earnestness.

But through spending time with me and the others, he seemed to have come to accept his seriousness and his intelligence as just one of his rare personal traits.

"Kanie-san had feelings for you from the start, so there’s no doubt in her happiness that their love was realized. There’s no need to say it about Kohayashi, your childhood friend. As for the harem situation, she seems to receive it as a joy of having her charm recognized. Honestly, what a magnanimous girl."

Indeed, Shoushuu had been looking out for me even when we were just spending time in the classroom.

But if I had stayed on Earth, she might have simply graduated as a friend, holding back due to the relationship between me and Chiyu.

Now that it’s come to this, I’m glad I came to understand Shoushuu’s feelings.

As for Chiyu, it is exactly as said.

If she hadn’t rallied the women and pushed the harem dynamic forward, our party would have taken a very different shape than it does now.

"Regarding Tanbi-sensei and Shoube-san, things seem to be in transition."

It was an observational keenness as if she had been watching our lives all along.

Indeed, there had been developments in the relationship between Luminous-sensei and Unme.

"Genshu seems a bit frustrated, but I suppose that's partly because she's such a passive person. Since you've become the master of this harem, why don't you just take the initiative and make a move on whoever catches your eye? ...Well, that's probably meddling too much on my part."

Conversation with Genshu had indeed been increasing slightly of late, but he was correct that they hadn't managed to bridge the gap as effectively as he had with Shiina.

It wasn't necessary to force every interaction into a romantic context, but perhaps, as their leader, he should have been paying more attention to the dynamics.

"I don't think I ever really spoke to Inui much at school, but he sure was an impressive guy."

"Nonsense. That's just something you notice if you take a moment to observe. ...No, I suppose that's excessive modesty on my part. Correction: I am the lowest of the low, with human observation as my hobby."

"No, don't be silly, nobody thinks that."

When he laughed off her comment as a joke, she smiled and agreed, "Just kidding."

For example, even when the people involved think they're hiding it, subtle shifts in physical distance can sometimes make their pairing obvious to those around them.

Inui's observational skills felt like an enhanced version of that trait.

With eyes that didn't miss minute changes, he could apparently discern his classmates' shifting emotions with the same clarity as if they were written on their hands... or so it seemed?

The more he thought about it, the more impressive the ability appeared.

"You really pay attention to the people around you, don't you? For me, there were plenty of classmates in my class whose faces and names didn't match up, which was a real pain."

"You were quite deliberate about keeping a low profile in class, weren't you?"

It seemed he had been observing me too.

"Being told that makes it sound pretty cool, but honestly, I just don't really stand out."

Momo talked to me occasionally, and with a cute childhood friend around, people did take notice of those things, but there was nothing particularly special about me myself.

"However, on this desert island, you've been remarkably active. It's a natural right for someone to take pride in excelling at sports or academics, but I think you should feel just as proud of your achievements here."

Inukai looked straight into my eyes as she said it.

"Ah, thanks."

Having words like that said to me certainly made me blush.

It was thanks to everyone's cooperation, but I suppose I should have a little bit of confidence in myself.

"You're welcome."

Inukai smiled softly.

But looking at her like that, I felt a certain doubt creep in.

"Inukai, did you join this conversation not just for Momo's sake, but with the intention of talking to me as well?"

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"I think you really are worried about Momo, but considering that, you've been talking to me quite a long while. So I just wondered."

「Fufu, so it was unnatural after all, wasn't it？」

She gave an affirmative reply along with a smile, showing no intention of sweeping it under the rug.

"It’s not like that, but…"

「No, it's fine.

You're right—part of why I cut into your conversation with Momo was because I really wanted to talk to Kouno-kun.」 「May I ask for the reason?」

「Oh, is it strange to be interested in the King of this island, the very one who has even captured Naruka's heart?」

I had thought there were no witnesses besides Serina at the time, but perhaps this girl had also seen the instant I kissed Naruka.

Watching my face flush with heat with eyes that treated me as tenderly as one might look at a kitten, she laughed, 「Just kidding.」

「I was genuinely curious, though.

After all, your moves were unexpected.」 「Unexpected?」

「When I join a group, it's my habit to check their roles.」

The term "roles" wasn't one I was familiar with, but I felt I understood what she meant.

「Like, who is the lead and who is an extra in the classroom?」

「Something like that. Everyone worries about it a little, don't they? But I find myself wanting to know the details.」

「It certainly was unexpected for one of the class extras to shine on a desert island, though.」

“It would be difficult to call you a background character, given the numerous connections you’ve formed with girls in so many different situations.”

“No... that was just a coincidence...”

I had assumed that, within our class, I was close only with Shouko and Chiiru.

Yet merely having any contact at all involved several people: Fukami, Genchu, and Kagebayashi.

Admittedly, calling me a mere extra might have been an understatement, considering how lucky I was to cross paths with so many beauties.

Then again, just how much did Inukai actually know?

“I initially expected this life on the desert island to be far more brutal. I imagined everyone’s mental state deteriorating, the boys trying to solve everything through force, the girls with abilities resisting them, multiple factions emerging, and many students suffering greatly.”

“Aah... that scenario certainly was a possibility.”

In fact, I had also worried about interpersonal conflicts at first.

Perhaps precisely because he harbored those fears from the start, Inukai had chosen his Tame ability.

The power to turn local creatures into allies.

“Yes. The ones who prevented that outcome were you two leaders: Sumika-san and Kukino-kun.”

"Seiō was quick to gather the girls, wasn't she? I'd heard she used that initial event to recruit teammates, but it must have been a real ordeal."

They had been forcibly rounded up in one location for the event, so finding their classmates themselves wasn't exactly an issue.

But once it was over, they were dumped back where they'd started from.

Reassembling the group must have been a nightmare.

If it had been us, we could've relied on Mashiro's sense of smell... Wait, hold on?

"Could she have used the scent of a beast she tamed afterward to track down the girls in her class?"

Her eyes widened slightly at that before breaking into an impressed smile.

"I did help with that part, yes. But Shippuu-san, who's fast on foot, and Momo's clones were also active members."

"I see."

While we were scrambling to grab light orbs, apparently that much effort went into forming the Seiō group.

That would mean Seiō had assessed her teammates' abilities during that time frame and arranged the details for their reunion.

It seemed some members, like Lougha or Yona, weren't found, but even accounting for that, it was impressive efficiency.

"Seiō-san's role hasn't changed since the classroom days. It's tremendous, certainly, but not unexpected."

Whether in the classroom or on the desert island, Seiō had been the one keeping the girls together.

If anything, his influence over the girls had only grown since arriving on this desert island.

"I just got lucky in my case."

"Perhaps. But if it continues, then that luck itself is a capability of yours. There has never been a successful person who was not blessed by fortune."

The fact that he had held Chiya's hand in his dream allowed them to teleport together.

That was the first instance of luck.

That Shouko had teleported along with the handkerchief she happened to have borrowed from him, that she chose the Mofumofu Summoning ability, and that he let the summoned Mashiro sniff the scent on the handkerchief so that she came to his side alongside Shiine.

This was the second instance of luck.

The fact that he had managed to rescue Fukaho just as she was being chased by a boar.

That was the third instance of luck.

And if you kept counting, there would be no end to it.

He couldn't say he was always lucky, but he certainly hadn't been short on fortune.

"Guess that's true."

"And naturally, mere good luck isn't enough to sustain success. Even if Professor Tsunoi's teleportation served as the catalyst, everyone is grateful for your role in calming down the boys."

In reality, his goal had been to check on the safety of every classmate and make a deal with them, but it was also true that he had used Chiya's calm to settle most of the male students.

"You were an inconspicuous boy in class. On the other hand, some individuals were saved by your actions. And seeing your performance on this desert island, as well as the changes in the girls who became your lovers..."

Inui narrowed her eyes, looking at him.

"Seeing what?"

"You must be one of those people who truly shine only when pushed into difficult circumstances. You likely displayed this same nature in your everyday life, but I suppose it is fair to say you radiate even more brightly outside the ordinary."

"True worth..."

"I am enjoying myself. Not a single young man I have encountered before was capable of doing anything unpredictable. But I could not have predicted the leap you just made."

Inukami's eyes were burning with an intense, wild light.

Like a child gazing up in awe at a hero.

No, it was nothing so endearing.

Rather, it resembled the gaze of a great bandit who has finally discovered the location of a legendary treasure.

It was a light that shone brilliantly yet remained deeply sinister.

"Predictable people offer a sense of safety and monotony, but those who defy expectations stir the heart, wouldn't you agree? Perhaps I simply have a fondness for individuals who cannot be contained within the boundaries of my thoughts."

"I-I see..."

Not knowing how to respond, I gave an ambiguous nod.

I had thought I was being praised, only to realize she was placing unexpected expectations on me.

"Mm-hm. Which is probably why I can't entirely let go of Momo, either. After all, you never quite know how she'll act in any given moment."

Inukami smiled, and just as if her previous gaze had been a lie, her expression reverted to its usual state.

I quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Sousuke~! How long are you going to keep flirting with Nene?"

Whether it was a call for help or just a greeting, it served as a lifeline.

The irritated voice belonged to Shousi.

When I turned my gaze toward them, Shousi and several others present were glaring at me with flat, unimpressed eyes.

"Well, I apologize for the lengthy interruption. I think it's time we returned His Majesty to his lovers."

"……It was good that we could talk."

"Same here. If you don't mind, let's keep being friends in the future too."

Judging by this situation, Inukai would remain on the desert island.

Her power is something I can rely on, so it's a relief to think about what lies ahead.

She was an incredibly strange person, but there had been value in our encounter.

Hearing my actions described by a third party made me feel as though I could now view my own deeds objectively.

While being careful not to become arrogant, perhaps it was fine to acknowledge my own efforts.

"Sousuke~!"

Shousi puffed out her cheeks cutely.

"I'm coming now."

Giving a light wave in the direction where Shousi stood, I closed the distance between us.

Carrying a slight sense of pride, wondering if my presence had contributed, even just a little, to us reaching this celebratory party today.

Thank you for your support this month as well.

And thank you so much for helping us surpass the grand total rating of 90,000 points!!!!!!!

While I fully understand just how rare and valuable these ratings are at this stage,

I intend to push myself as far as I can go, so

I would be truly grateful for your continued support.

Inuuma looked at me as if expecting something.

She had said that what Momochi needed was not countless affirmations from others, but just one person she could be absolutely sure was her ally.

And this look meant...

"Could it be that you're the one person she needs?"

She wasn't being delusional; she was reading that I was hoping for that to be the case.

Even so, she looked at me with a pleased expression as my cheeks heated up from embarrassment.

"Yes, you're not just promiscuous, but you seem to have a positive influence on the women you're with." "You're exaggerating."

"Excessive modesty can come off as sarcasm, you know?"

She said that to me as if scolding me, then continued.

"The most obvious examples are probably Yomai and Muuka-san. Yomai used to look like she was suffocating from reading the atmosphere, but now she seems to be laughing from the heart."

...I see, she doesn't seem to be just saying that off the top of her head.

Shion had been concerned about her own performance.

Since meeting Shouko after advancing to a higher grade, it seems things have gotten easier, but she had been putting in a lot of effort to get along well in the closed space of the classroom.

Although she was popular, she didn't become a target of jealousy, probably because she was able to be considerate and respond appropriately.

Even after joining our group, she seemed to be gaining confidence from her role as the chef and her ability to tell lies, despite worrying about her lack of combat skills.

If Shion can now laugh from the heart and if my presence has been a positive factor in that, then that's a wonderful thing.

"Mr. Maboroshi, you seem to have done something that blew away her resistance to building deep relationships, as she used to find human relationships troublesome due to her conscientious nature. Now she seems to be showing you goodwill without any regard for gain or loss."

Seina was indeed a lone wolf type who didn't try to get along with us.

It's nostalgic to remember how she used to hesitate because of the concern for settling debts.

But as we gradually interacted and when I jumped to save her life, it seems like I managed to tear down the walls she had been building.

"Fujin-san also looks happy. She's a variant of the 'servant type,' after all, and she can't be happy with just anyone. Meeting you must have given her the core she was missing in her life."

Loa originally worked in a maid café, but it was like a hunger-staving act because she didn't have an 'ideal master.'

She truly found the qualities of a master in me and has been faithfully serving me ever since.

Of course, she's an important friend and lover to me, but that's why I wanted to treat her as a maid as she wished.

「It seems that Yashiro thought of herself as an outcast, but she fits in well with your party. Someone must have acknowledged her charm, and you all have built a relationship where she can believe in that acknowledgment.」

Deep Ho had been misunderstood because of her earnestness.

But as she spent time with me and my friends, she seemed to have come to accept her earnestness and wisdom as unique traits.

「Kwan Ah originally had feelings for you, so there's no doubt that her love has been fulfilled and she's happy. As for her childhood friend, Ichiyama, there's no need to mention her. Regarding the harem, she too accepts it as a joy of being acknowledged. Truly, she's a broad-minded girl.」

Indeed, Shouko had cared about me ever since we were in class.

But if I had stayed on Earth, she might have held back from getting involved with Chiyou and graduated as just friends.

Now, I'm glad I got to know Shouko's feelings.

As for Chiyou, that's exactly right.

If she hadn't gathered the women and promoted the harem, our party would have taken a different form.

「As for Tanbi-sensei and Shoubu-san, it seems they're in the middle of a change.」

She seemed to have observed our lives as if she had been watching us all along.

Indeed, there had been some progress in the relationship between Lumina-sensei and Rinme.

「It looks like you're frustrated, but that's partly because she's shy. Since you're the master of the harem now, if you like someone, why don't you take the initiative and make a move? ...But that's none of my business, isn't it?」

I have been talking with Himucho more recently, but it's true that I haven't been able to get as close to her as I did with Shion.

Not everything has to be about love, but as a leader, I should probably pay more attention.

「I didn't talk much with Inugai at school, but he's quite the person.」

「That's not true. Anyone could see that much with a little observation. ...Actually, that might be an overstatement. I'm just a lowly scoundrel who finds human observation amusing.」

「No one thinks that way.」

I laughed it off as a joke, and she smiled and said, "It's a joke."

For example, even if the couple tries to hide it, a slight change in their distance can make others realize they're a couple.

Inugai's observational skills seem to be an enhanced version of that.

If you have eyes that don't miss even the smallest changes, you can understand your classmates' emotional changes as clearly as if they were written on their faces...?

Thinking about it again, it seems like an amazing ability.

「You really pay attention to your surroundings. I had a hard time matching faces with names in class.」

「You were trying not to stand out in class, weren't you?」

She had apparently been watching me too.

「When you put it that way, it sounds cool, but I was just someone who didn't stand out in class.」

I was occasionally talked to by Shouko, and had a cute childhood friend, so there were times when I attracted attention, but I didn't have anything special about me.

「But on this desert island, you've been doing amazing work. It's only natural for those who excel at sports or academics to be proud of their achievements. And the same goes for you; you should be proud of your accomplishments on this desert island.」

Usagi-ko looked straight at me and said. 「Ah, thank you.」

When she said that, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

It was thanks to everyone's cooperation, but maybe I should have a little more confidence. 「You're welcome.」 Usagi-ko smiled gently.

That made me wonder about her.

「Did you join the conversation not just because of Momo, but also because you wanted to talk to me?」

「Oh, why do you think that?」

「I think you're really worried about Momo, but you've been talking to me for a long time, so I thought maybe there was something else.」

「Heh, so it was unnatural, huh?」

She gave a smile and a nod, with no intention of lying. 「It wasn't like that, though.」

「No, it's fine. As you said, I interrupted your conversation with Momoyo because I wanted to talk to you.」 「May I ask why?」

「Oh, is it strange to be interested in the king of this island, who even captivated you, Shinou?」

I thought that was the only time Senri had been a witness, but did she see me kiss Shinou as well?

She looked at me with eyes that a cat might use to watch its owner, and laughed, saying, "Just kidding."

「I was really interested, though. Because your actions were unexpected.」 「Unexpected?」

「I usually make sure to confirm the roles of everyone in a group.」

I didn't know what she meant by "roles," but I thought I understood what she was trying to say.

「Like who's the main character and who's the background characters in a classroom?」

「Yes. Everyone cares a little, but I can't help but want to know more.」

「It's indeed unexpected for a background character in class to become active on an desert island.」

「Calling you a mob character would be difficult, wouldn't it? You've had connections with many girls in various situations.」

「No... It was just a coincidence...」

I thought I was only close to Shouko and Chiyu in class.

But just having had connections with them, I had already interacted with multiple girls, including Shinpo, Genju, and Kageboku.

Indeed, I might have had more than the average amount of contact with beautiful girls to be considered just a mob character.

Come to think of it, how much does Inuuke know?

「I initially thought this life on the desert island would be more brutal. I imagined everyone's spirits would be worn down, the boys would try to solve things with force, the girls with abilities would resist, and several factions would form, causing many to suffer.」

「Yeah... That was a possibility.」

I was actually worried about interpersonal conflicts at first.

Maybe that's why Inuuke chose the taming ability.

The power to make the local wildlife your allies.

「Yes. You two, Shouko-san and Kouno-kun, prevented that from happening.」

「Joumyou had already gathered a bunch of girls, right? I heard he used the first event to recruit his team, but it must have been tough.」

Since we were forced to gather in the same place for the event, it wasn't hard to find classmates.

But once the event ended, we were sent back to where we originally were. It must have been difficult to regroup.

If it were us, we could have relied on Mashiro's sense of smell... Wait, though?

“Did you use the sense of smell of the tamed beasts to find the girls in your class after the event?”

She opened her eyes slightly wide and then smiled in amazement.

「...I did help out for sure. The rest was thanks to Shippuu's speed and Momo's clones, too.」
「I see.」

While we were busy trying to get the light balls, it seems that the formation of the Seiou group had some difficulties.

If that's the case, then Seiou must have managed to get a grasp on her teammates' abilities and coordinate their movements within that short time.

Some of them, like Roa and Serina, weren't found, but even considering that, it was still an impressive feat.

「Seiou's role hasn't changed from the classroom. It's intense, but not unexpected.」

Seiou was the leader of the girls both in the classroom and on the island.

Rather, his influence over girls had increased since coming to the desert island.

"I was just lucky."

"That might be true. But if it continues, then even your luck is a skill. No successful person can be without luck."

Dreaming of holding Senyuu's hand, and transferring together with her. This was the first stroke of luck.

Having a handkerchief that Shokko borrowed from me transfer with her, Shokko choosing the fluffy summoning ability, and having Shokko bring the handkerchief's scent to the summoned Mashiro, who came to me with Shion. This was the second stroke of luck.

Rescuing Shinpo while she was being chased by a wild boar. This was the third stroke of luck.

Counting them off, there would be no end.

I couldn't say I was always lucky, but I had certainly been blessed with many strokes of luck. "Maybe."

"And of course, just being lucky isn't enough to keep succeeding. Although your transfer was the catalyst, everyone is grateful for your efforts to calm the boys down."

In reality, confirming the safety of all classmates and making a deal was the goal, but it was true that many boys had been calmed by Senyuu's pacification.

"You were an inconspicuous boy in the class. On the other hand, some of them were saved by your actions. And seeing your performance on this desert island and the changes in the girls who became your lovers..."

Inugai narrowed her eyes and looked at me. "Seeing..."?

「You shine the most when you're up against a challenge, don't you? I suppose you were like that in your everyday life as well, but it's as if you shine even more in extraordinary situations.」 「Your true value...」

「I'm enjoying myself. All the guys I've seen before never did anything unexpected, but I couldn't predict your sudden leap.」 Her eyes were shining brightly.

It was as if she were looking up at a hero.

No, it wasn't that cute.

It was more like a great thief who had just discovered the whereabouts of a treasure.

It was a dazzling yet eerie light.

「Predictable people give you a sense of security and boredom, but unpredictable people give you a sense of excitement, don't they? Maybe I like people who don't fit into my thoughts.」 「I, I see.」

Not knowing how to respond, I nodded vaguely.

I thought I was being praised, but it turned out she had unexpected expectations of me.

「Yes. That's why I can't help but feel a bit unsettled when I don't know how Momo will act in a given moment.」

She smiled and seemed to have returned to her usual self, as if the look in her eyes had been a lie. I let out a sigh of relief.

「Yo, Sōsuke! How long are you going to be all lovey-dovey with Nene?」 A voice of salvation, perhaps.

That sulky voice belongs to Shouko.

When I look over, Shouko and a few others who were with her are glaring at me.

"Ah, I'm sorry for taking so long. It's about time I returned the king to his lovers." "…It's nice to talk to you."

"I'm glad too. If you'd like, let's be friends from now on."

From the looks of it, Inugai will be staying on the desert island.

Her strength is reliable, so I'm grateful to think about the future.

She was a strange person, but I did gain something from her.

Hearing it from a third party, I felt like I could see my actions objectively.

Perhaps I could acknowledge my efforts while being careful not to become arrogant. "Sousuke~!"

Shouko is puffing out her cheeks cutely. "I'm coming."

I wave lightly in her direction and head over to her.

I wonder if my presence had some influence in being able to celebrate this wrap-up today, and I feel a little proud of myself.

Thank you very much for this month.

And thank you for reaching an overall evaluation of over 90,000 points!!!!!!!

While I understand that this level of evaluation is already difficult to achieve,

I will do my best to go as far as I can, so

I would be grateful if you could continue to support me.
