The "Bird and Beast Threat" quest has been cleared.

There were some pinches along the way, but the result is that all my companions are safe and sound.

We secured our rewards too.

This is the second one for the "Right of Dual Choice," but since having multiple options isn't a burden, I'll hold onto it for later.

Among the existing options, "Abundant Vegetables" or "Sea Fish" look appealing, but I'm not exactly suffering without them.

With the quest cleared, I'll have the Shadow Shield dispelled.

The branches of the treants under Inu's control also returned to their original length.

Monsters' abilities can be a great asset when they're on our side.

Incidentally, the Styxparides that Inu had tamed turned into particles of light the moment the quest was cleared as well.

"You're really becoming the protagonist type, aren't you? It's cool, but don't worry me like this."

"S-sorry..."

"Mai, thank you too."

Near where I was apologizing to Chi-iyu, Matoba was thanking Hayate.

"Maybe it would have been better for you, Takuno-kun, though?"

"N-no, that's not the case at all!"

The atmosphere over there is harmonious and amicable.

"Attention! Everyone, let's check the extent of the damage to our base!"

Seihou, her face still flushed red, called out.

Other than part of the mansion being destroyed, there was no significant damage.

It was almost miraculous—or perhaps thanks to the combatants' efforts—that the chicken coop and solar panels remained intact.

The Seiho party seemed to have suffered more substantial damage to their crops in addition to the building.

However, with Nagahata's "Plant Magic," it was said this could be regenerated immediately.

Effectively, they had barely taken any losses.

Given that kind of assault, getting off with this much damage was more than enough.

"Sousuke. What should we do about using the 'Right of Dual Choice'?"

Fukaho, who held the first "Right of Dual Choice," spoke up.

"If it wasn't a 'Mine,' I would have definitely used it..."

"Yeah..."

"Let's hold off for now and consult with everyone later."

"Agreed."

At the teacher’s strong urging, we then set about confirming the safety of the other students.

"I was thinking we’d combine this with searching the mine. I’ll have a designated group head to the boys’ camp... what do you think?"

The members selected for 'Mine Exploration' are me, Professor Luminus, Miyao, and Jinguan.

Jinguan Seishu is a member of the Sehou party, a beautiful girl who exudes the air of a high-society lady.

"W-What do you say? Should we bring Ioyama Chiyu with us too? Assuming we head straight for the mine once we find it... wouldn't Fukubō Shinhō be well suited to protect her?"

I nodded in agreement to Sehou’s suggestion.

Her healing magic would come in handy if any of the boys were injured, and even if we waited outside the mine, having her there would drastically increase their chances of survival in the worst-case scenario where they suffered severe injuries upon clearing the quest.

With the danger of beasts no longer present, Shinhō should be more than enough protection for Chiyu.

I had the feeling that Chōhō was glancing at me, her cheeks flushed……

But I decided not to touch on it right now.

Anyway, we consulted with both parties, and the proposal was approved.

"Miyao, sorry for always relying on you to transform."

"No, no.

I'm happy to be of use," Miyao said, smiling shyly.

After that, she transformed into a black dragon.

「Sozusō, you really are rare to be able to ride Mīaa. Normally, Mikuron would get jealous, you know?

The little traitress says in a mischievous tone.

The fact that the phantasm beasts were unharmed seemed to have settled her nerves.

"Yeah, that's true. Keep it from Mikron."

"Whoa, that sounds like you're cheating on him!"

"No, no..."

I only thought there was no reason to deliberately provoke anger......

「Sensei Tanbi, Master Miyoo, Lady Chiyu, Lady Fūhō, and——Master Sōsuke.」

Kazueno looks at me, a dazed smile playing on her lips.

It felt like the rapturous expression of one confronting an object of worship.

Since I had no idea why she was looking at me that way, I could only feel confusion.

"Thank you for your cooperation today."

She gave a small bow.

Her generous bustle jiggled softly as she moved.

According to what I’d previously heard from Meki, Kamizono considered me her benefactor……

It was hard to believe that had anything to do with me.

"Ah, uh... yeah, please treat me well."

And so, I mounted the back of Kuro Ryū Miyoo.

I took the lead, followed by Kamiyana, Chiya, Fuhou, and Professor Luminas.

"With your permission?"

Saying that, Kamiyana squeezed tightly against me in a hug.

"Mmmmm...

Ah, this is the scent of Master Souju..." ...This is getting a little creepy.

The Black Dragon Palace begins to float into the air.

Our journey to find the mines began, circling around the male's base camp. "Aren't you scared? Miss Kamiyana."

"Master Souju is here."

"...Did you have any contact with Master Souju before the teleportation, Kamiyana?"

Fuhou asked, looking anxious.

"No. I've been frail since I was young and often skipped school."

"Professor, this has been on my mind... Is she physically up to handling things on this desert island?"

"Hehe, yes, indeed."

"That's not... because the air on this island is good or something like that, right?"

"It is all thanks to Master Souju."

"Hm, I get it. Since you said 'Crafting ability,' we thought things that don't exist in reality could be made real, so Mimerun wished for something. That's why you are our benefactor."

"As expected from Lady Chiya. You are exactly right. At first, I thought how hollow this dream was. Even if I could meet my classmates in a dream, it just forced me to confront the reality that I barely even attend school. However, hearing Master Souju's words, I realized there was still a possibility."

"Possibility..."

"Yes. If I could have chosen anything, it was a 'healthy body' that I wanted. That is what I prayed for. And when I woke up on this desert island, I was astonished by how easily I could breathe. I was shocked at how light my body felt. I was stunned that I could run at full speed. I was saved by that mysterious presence."

So there are people who experience things like that too.

In some ways, I am grateful to the mysterious blackboard, but the sensation of being forcibly transported and dragged into some unknown experiment remains strong.

But for Kamiitsuka, without this transportation, she would have remained with a weak body forever.

Life on the desert island must have been harsh, but the joy clearly outweighed the hardship.

"And all of this was thanks to so-and-so-sama, who spoke of 'Crafting abilities.' I am deeply grateful to so-and-so-sama for showing me the path to salvation."

"Oh... um... you're welcome?"

"This unworthy Kamiitsuka Seimaru intends to devote the rest of my life to repaying the kindness of so-and-so-sama."

I couldn't dismiss this by saying it was too heavy or burdensome.

The nature I had given up on for a lifetime had been changed, triggered by my words.

Her life had literally turned over in a new direction.

I could not deny that she was grateful to me, nor the weight of that feeling.

"It's a nice thought to hear, but... please don't push yourself too hard."

"Yes! I shall spare no effort and give my all in faithful service to you!"

I told him not to push himself too hard, though…

Then again, it wouldn’t do to dampen his enthusiasm.

"Understood. However, since we’re traveling together for now, even temporarily, I want you to follow my instructions. Of course, feel free to voice your opinions at every turn."

"It is only natural. If told to run, I will run; if told to stop, I will stop; and if told to undress, I will undress."

"Mm, that’s a good attitude to have."

"Thank you, Senryu-sama."

"N-No, you mustn’t! I think it would be fine for Tamaki-kun, but you shouldn’t just take orders from a man to strip like that out of the blue!"

Mr. Luminous spoke with a worried tone.

"It is only natural. This body already belongs to Sousuke-sama. It would not be proper for it to be exposed recklessly to the eyes of others."

"No, that’s not what I meant at all, and—"

"Ah, as expected of you, Sousuke-san… is that right?"

"To create a devoted follower on a desert island… My childhood friend, Sousuke-kun… you really are a frightening child."

Kamien's rapturous excitement left Professor Luminous and Fukaho looking thoroughly bewildered.

Senu, on the other hand, was entirely business as usual.

As for the men, all of them were safe and sound.

Unlike us, who had set up camp in the open grassland, most of them lived in the forest.

It proved to be a saving grace, allowing them to hide from Stymparides.

Incidentally, despite the Wheel of Transmigration possessing "teleportation abilities," I was able to confirm via transceiver that he was unharmed as well.

And regarding the crucial matter of the mine—we found it too.

It wasn't a cave; you could tell at a glance.

Partially embedded in the mountainside was an entrance constructed of stone blocks.

It looked obviously artificial, but aside from me, I doubt anyone on this island could build something like that—though perhaps except for Mystery Blackboard.

All I needed to do now was enter, bring back five types of minerals, and the quest would be complete.

Before I realized it, two years had passed since the serialization began.

Thanks to all of you, three books have been published, and the comic adaptation is getting started too.

It has turned into a blessed work.

I intend to keep going as long as there is demand for it,

It would be greatly appreciated if you could continue to support me!

The quest 'Animal Damage' has been cleared.

There were some close calls, but everyone came out unharmed, and we got the reward too.

This is the second 'Right to Choose,' but there are multiple options, so I'll save it for now.

Among the existing choices, 'Abundant Vegetables' or 'Sea Fish' are appealing, but I'm not really struggling with a decision.

Since we cleared the quest, I asked to have the shadow barrier lifted.

The branches of Trent under the control of Inu Shiba have returned to their original length.

The monsters' abilities are also quite impressive when they're on our side.

By the way, the Stumpardis that Inu Shiba tamed also turned into particles of light when we cleared the quest.

"Sou-kun, you're becoming more and more the protagonist type. You're cool, but don't worry me." "S-sorry." "Thanks, Mai."

While I was thanking Chiyo, Iciba was thanking Jikufu.

"Iciba-san, maybe Kono-kun was better for you." "N-no, that's not true!"

They seem to be getting along quite well over there.

"Ahem! I'll check the damage to our base!"

Calm down, Shoukou's face is still red.

Other than the damage to the mansion, we didn't suffer any major damage.

It's miraculous, or perhaps thanks to the efforts of the fighters, the chicken coop and solar panels were unharmed.

As for Shoukou's party, they suffered significant damage to their fields in addition to their buildings.

But with Eitarou's 'Plant Magic', they can regenerate the fields quickly.

In reality, there's hardly any damage at all.

Considering the attack we just faced, this is more than enough.

"Kousuke, how should we use the 'Right of Dual Choice'?"

Deepo, who holds the first 'Right of Dual Choice', asks.

"If it wasn't the mine today, I would have definitely used it..." "You're right..."

"I'll discuss it with everyone later, but let's put it on hold for now." "Agreed."

After that, in response to Lumina-sensei's strong request, we decided to check on the safety of the other students.

"I was thinking of going around to the boys' bases with the designated members, and also search for the mines... What do you think?"

The ones participating in the "Mine Exploration" are me, Lumina-sensei, Miyose, and Kiyama.

Kiyama Seishu is a member of the Seiho party and a beautiful young lady with an air of being a well-bred lady.

"Y-Yes. How about bringing along Chiyu? If we find the mine, we'll head straight there... I think her protection would be best suited to Shizou."

Chiyu's healing magic would be useful if the boys were injured, and if she waits outside the mine, even if they're critically injured when the quest is cleared, the chances of them surviving would greatly increase.

Now that the danger from the birds and beasts has been eliminated, Shizou would be more than enough to protect Chiyu.

I think Seiho is glancing at me while blushing, but I'll leave it for now.

In any case, we got confirmation from both parties, and the plan was approved.

"Miyose, I'm sorry for always asking you to transform."

"No, I'm happy to be of use." Miyose smiled bashfully.

Then she transformed into a black dragon.

「Sousuke, it's rare for you to ride Myaa. Normally, Mikuron would be jealous,” the summoned girl said playfully.

It seemed that her mood had settled now that the phantoms were safe.

“True, but please don’t tell Mikuron.” “Oh, that sounds like cheating.” “No, no…”

I didn’t mean to say anything that would make her angry.

“Mr. Tanbi, Miyoo-sama, Chiyu-sama, Shinpo-sama, and—Sousuke-sama.”

Kouen looked at me and smiled, her face filled with rapture.

It was as if she was looking at her deity, her expression one of blissful adoration.

I had no idea why she was looking at me like that, and it made me feel confused.

“Please take care of me today.” She bowed her head.

Her ample chest bounced.

According to what Shouko had told me before, I was apparently her savior to Kouen, but I had no recollection of it. “Ah, yes, take care of me.”

And so, I climbed onto the back of the black dragon, Miyoo.

I was at the front, then came Kojin, Chiyu, Shinpo, and finally Lumina-sensei. "Is it okay if I say this?"

Saying that, Kojin hugged me tightly.

"Suuuuuu. Ah, this is Saiga-sama's scent..." ...That's a little scary. Kokuryuu Palace floats.

Our journey to find the mine while touring the boys' base begins. "Aren't you scared, Kojin-san?"

"Because Saiga-sama is here."

"...Did Kojin-san have some sort of connection with Saiga-san before the transfer?" Shinpo asked anxiously.

"No. I've always been weak and often missed school."

"Sensei, I was wondering... Are you okay with your health on this desert island?" "Hehe, yes."

"Is it... because the air here is good, or something like that?"

"It's all because of Saiga-sama."

"Hmm, I get it. So Soun-kun said 'Craft Ability,' so I thought there might be things that don't exist in reality. So I wished for something, and that's why Soun-kun's my savior."

"As expected of Chiyu-sama. That's exactly right. At first, I thought what a futile dream it was. Even if I could meet my classmates in my dreams, it only emphasized how I couldn't even attend school properly in reality. But after hearing Saiga-sama's words, I realized the possibilities had passed me by." "Possibilities..."

"Yes. If I could choose anything, I wished for a 'healthy body.' That's what I prayed for. And when I woke up on this desert island, I was surprised by how easy it was to breathe. I was surprised by how light my body felt. I was surprised that I could run at full speed. I was saved by that mysterious existence." This is another pattern, huh?

I am grateful to the mysterious blackboard in some ways, but I still feel strongly that I was forcibly transferred and dragged into a mysterious experiment.

But Kanzono would have remained weak if this transfer had not happened.

Living on a desert island was probably harsh, but the joy must have outweighed it.

"And all of this is thanks to Mr. Sōsuke's 'Crafting Ability.' I am deeply grateful to Mr. Sōsuke for showing me the way to salvation."

"Eh, um... You're welcome?"

"Unworthy Kanzono Seishū, I intend to devote the rest of my life to repaying Mr. Sōsuke."

I can't dismiss it as being too heavy.

I gave her the chance to change a nature she had given up on for her entire life.

Her life truly changed.

That she is grateful to me and the weight of her gratitude, I cannot deny.

"I'm glad you feel that way... but, you know, don't overdo it."

「Yes. I will serve with all my heart and soul!」

I did tell her not to overdo it, though...?

But then again, I guess it's not my place to dampen her enthusiasm.

「Alright. Just remember, we're working together for the time being, so please follow my orders. Of course, feel free to speak your mind.」

「Of course, my lord. If you tell me to run, I will run. If you tell me to stop, I will stop. If you tell me to undress, I will undress.」 「Hmm, good attitude.」

「Thank you, Lord Senyuu.」

「N-no, that's not right? Even if you're Kouno-kun, you shouldn't just follow orders to undress from a guy, right?」

Luminas-sensei says worriedly.

「Of course not, my lord. My body belongs to Lord Souzou. It should not be seen by others.」

「N-no, that's not what I meant...」

「S-sure is like Souzou... Is that right?」

「Even on a desert island, you've got followers, Sou-kun... You're quite the scary kid.」

Kaguren's enthusiasm is confusing both Mr. Lumines and Shinho. Chiyu, on the other hand, is as usual.

As for the boys, they're all safe.

Unlike us, who live on the grassland, most of them live in the forest.

This allowed them to hide from Stumpardis.

By the way, although the transmigration ability holder, Xuanzang, was safe, we confirmed this through the transceiver.

Now, regarding the mine itself—we've found it.

It's not a cave, as it's obvious at first glance.

A stone-made entrance appeared on part of the mountain.

It's clearly an artificial structure, but the only one who could make something like this on this island is probably the mystery blackboard.

Now, if we enter here and bring back five types of minerals, the quest will be complete.

It's been two years since the serialization began.

Thanks to everyone, the book has become three volumes, and the comic version has also started. It's been a very fortunate work.

As long as there's a need, I'd like to continue.

Thank you for your continued support!
