Reset"Phew..."
I woke up.
The canopy of the bed was clearly visible before my eyes.
It seems I've survived, after all.
"Did you wake up, Master?"
Lore stood by the side of the bed.
"Oh... yeah, good morning. My body feels really light for some reason."
"Miss Chiyu cast a healing spell on you."
"I see."
Right, that makes sense. They wouldn't just leave me there after I pushed myself to the brink of death.
"We are all deeply in our reflection, Master. Myself included. Providing service that would cause my master to lose consciousness cannot be called proper devotion. Please rest assured, it will not happen again."
Lore bowed her head deeply.
"Please, don't trouble yourself. It was my fault in the first place."
"On this island, Master forming a bond with a new woman is something to be welcomed, not condemned."
"The issue this time was that I did it when everyone else was worried about me. That's why they were angry."
"...Then, may I continue to serve you?"
"Of course. It would be a problem if Roa isn't here."
Roa breathed a sigh of relief, pressing a hand to their chest.
"Thank you."
"Was that why you stayed behind? Because you were worried?"
"That's part of it, but we also decided it would be better if at least one person remained with him."
"I see..."
He was probably worried, yes, but there was likely an element of intimidation or checking up on her, too.
Like saying, "Don't go sneaking off ahead."
...I feel like I'm being extremely self-centered in my thinking.
No, given this desert island, if I don't admit to myself that I am no longer an ordinary person, it would become less than humility and veer into pure pettiness.
"...Wow, it's getting dark outside. What is everyone doing?"
"Due to the recent assault by Stymphalides, everyone seems quite anxious, so they are eating dinner together across team boundaries. I hear they are grilling various things outside."
"Sounds fun."
"If you show your face, Master, everyone will feel at ease."
"R-Right..."
Besides, my stomach was rumbling.
Since all I had for lunch was porridge, I wanted to eat something else.
Like meat.
"Well then, let's go."
"Yes."
"By the way, what about Mine?"
"I entrusted her to assist Shion-sama."
The hole that opened up in my life when Loah stayed behind was filled by Mine.
"How's Mine for you, Loah?"
"She is hardworking and impressive. She will make an excellent maid."
We left the house chatting like that to rejoin everyone.
They were used to it by now, eating under the light of bonfires in the yard, each doing their own thing.
Everyone was worried for me, but those who were my lovers seemed a bit awkward, likely feeling guilty about having knocked me out. The ones who weren't blushed red.
"It seems the story spread when we captured Momo."
"Captured?"
Momo probably thought she'd get scolded and tried to flee, but it seemed she was caught red-handed in the end.
Earlier, with a distant look in her eyes, she apologized by saying, "Sorry for leaving you behind, Sousuke-kun..." I could tell she had suffered through it herself, making the apology feel heavy and impossible to bear.
Dinner concluded smoothly, and as we started to head home, Chiya stepped forward.
"I have something to say to everyone."
All attention turned to her.
"Sousuke is the most premium prize on this desert island. It's no wonder he attracts a swarm of admirers; it's like ants swarming around sugar."
The phrasing felt a bit prickly. Was she still angry?
"But a bidding war over him would ruin this lifestyle for everyone, right? So, we need to set some rules."
Everyone waited in silence for the rest of Chiyu's sentence.
"Basically, our group and Ryoka-chan's group will operate independently. That stays the same as it has been until now. However, if you end up with Sou-kun during a quest or an event, you are free to attack him or make your appeal known. As long as Sou-kun doesn't mind, most things are okay."
He had just given his permission on his own.
"Outside of those situations, interaction is permitted as long as we get prior approval from our group. But if you do anything lewd with Sou-kun, we need you to sign the Ladies' Pact."
The Ladies' Pact sounded like a secret meeting for girls only. "I have a question."
"Hm?
Ryoka-chan."
Suho raised her hand, and Chiyu nodded in acknowledgment.
Suho Reika was a beautiful girl with long, wavy blonde hair tied into twin buns at the back of her head.
She possessed the [Charisma] skill, and combined with her innate charm and leadership abilities, she had been able to keep the girls-only group together on this desert island.
"E-excuse me, would the rule of independent movement still apply if one becomes lovers with Takano-kun? If so, it creates a disparity between my lover who is in my group and your lover who is in his group."
Suho's face was red.
"If you become lovers with him, you are free to move back and forth at will."
"That's fair. I have one more question. Suppose someone becomes lovers with Takano-kun and then acquires [Memory Inheritance]. What happens to the multiple lovers who return to Japan?"
"Undetermined. It depends on his manly spirit and his mysterious blackboard. But personally, I have no intention of breaking up."
Chia’s answer drew nods of agreement from the established couples.
But the fact that it all hinged on the mysterious blackboard bothered me.
— I see, so that is indeed a possibility.
The "Points" earned by slaying monsters or completing other tasks had their total revealed only after using the "Right to Return," with bonuses potentially awarded depending on the amount accumulated.
It wasn't implausible that one of those bonuses would be "a way to establish relationships on the desert island without attracting suspicion from your surroundings."
Of course, I couldn't use that hope as an excuse to back out of my decision, but it was a valid possibility worth considering.
It was something I could never have imagined in my pre-transfer life: Chia permitting, recommending, and even managing a harem like this.
What was even more unimaginable was how seriously all the women took it when they heard her speak.
No one scoffed or expressed any distaste.
On the contrary, several girls were looking at me with heated gazes, their eyes like hunters tracking prey.
My reputation had shifted drastically from being an unremarkable boy in class.
To a guy that girls would still consider making a move on, even knowing he had six lovers.
The "Return Rights," "Memory Inheritance" for everyone, and the method to transmit abilities to Earth.
It will still take a long time to gather everything, but what on earth will happen in the future?
Lakuraku Desu Game has achieved 1st place in both the Daily and Weekly rankings.

「Hah...」 I woke up. The canopy of the bed was in my line of sight.
It looks like I survived.
「Are you awake?」
Loa was standing beside the bed.
「Ah, yeah... Good morning. My body feels really light.」
「Lady Senyuu cast a healing spell on you.」 「I see.」
Of course. They wouldn’t just leave me after I was completely exhausted.
「Everyone was feeling guilty. Of course, I was too. A service that causes the master to lose consciousness can’t be called a service. I’ll be more careful in the future.」 Loa bowed deeply.
「No, no, it was my fault to begin with.」
「On this island, the master forming a relationship with a new woman is something to be welcomed, not punished.」
「I was doing it when everyone was worried about me, so I got angry.」
「...Then, shall I continue to serve you?」
「Of course. I wouldn't want to be without Roa.」
Roa sighed with relief. "Thank you."
"Was that why you stayed behind?"
"That's part of it, but it was decided that someone should stay." "I see..."
She was worried, but also trying to keep an eye on me. Like a rule against leaving the group.
...I feel like I'm overthinking this.
No, on this desert island, if I don't admit that I'm no longer an ordinary person, I'll just end up sounding bitter.
"...Wow, it's getting dark outside. What are the others doing?"
"They seem to be having a joint dinner because of the attack today. They're cooking and eating various things outside." "Sounds fun."
"If you show up, everyone will feel better." "Oh, right..." Besides, I was hungry.
I'd only had rice gruel for lunch, and I wanted to eat something else. Like meat. "Shall we go then?" "Yes." "By the way, where's Mina?"
"I left her to help Shion."
That's why Mine filled the hole that was created when Roa stayed with me.
"So, Roa, what do you think about Mine?"
"She's very hardworking and wonderful. I think she'll make a great maid."
We had this conversation as we left the house to meet up with everyone.
Everyone was already used to it, and they were eating their meals in the garden lit by bonfires and campfires.
Everyone was worried about me, but my lovers looked a bit awkward because they felt responsible for me falling ill, while the others blushed.
"It seems the news spread when we captured Momoko." "Captured?"
Momoko had run away, thinking she would get scolded, but in the end, she was caught.
When she apologized with a faraway look in her eyes, saying, "Sorry for leaving you behind, Sousuke-kun..." I could tell she had her own struggles and felt bad for her.
The meal went well, and as we were about to disperse, Senyuu stepped forward. "I have something to tell everyone." Everyone's attention turned to Senyuu.
"Sousuke is the best property on the island. It's only natural that he's swarmed with girls like ants to sugar."
Her words felt a bit sharp, perhaps because she was still angry.
「But no one wants this lifestyle to fall apart just because of a fight for Soh-kun. So, let's set some rules.」
Everyone was silent, waiting for Senyuu to continue.
「Basically, our group and Ryoka-chan's group will act separately, just like before. However, if we end up with Soh-kun on quests or events, we're free to attack or appeal. As long as Soh-kun doesn't mind, most things are okay.」
She had given me an okay without asking.
「But if we want to interact with Soh-kun outside of that, we need permission from our group beforehand. And if we do anything intimate with Soh-kun, we need to sign a lady's agreement.」
The lady's agreement must be a secret meeting for girls. 「I have a question.」 「Yeah, Ryoka-chan?」 Jingu raised her hand, and Senyuu nodded.
Jingu Ryouka had long wavy blonde hair, with buns on the back of her head, making her look like a beautiful girl.
She was the holder of 'Charisma,' and her original charm and leadership skills combined to make her the leader of the girls-only group on this desert island.
「W-would the basic separate action rule apply if I become a girlfriend with Koji? If so, there would be a difference between my girlfriend in my group and the one in your group.」 Jingu's face was red.
「If you become my girlfriend, you can come and go freely.」
「That's fair. I have another question. If I were to become Koji's girlfriend and then obtain 'Memory Inheritance,' what would happen to the multiple girlfriends in Japan?」
「Undecided. It depends on Soh-kun's manliness and the mystery blackboard. But I'm not planning on breaking up.」
The couple nodded in response to Senyuu's answer.
But I was curious about the part that depended on the mystery blackboard.
――I see, there's a possibility of that.
The 'points' you get when you defeat a monster are revealed after using the 'Return Right,' and in some cases, you can get special benefits.
It wouldn't be strange if there was a way to avoid suspicion from others about the relationships we built on the desert island.
Of course, I can't run away from my decision by hoping for that, but it's a possible scenario.
I never would have imagined that Senyuu would say something like approving, encouraging, and managing a harem before the transfer.
What was even more unimaginable was how seriously the girls took it when they heard it.
No one laughed it off or showed disgust.
Instead, several girls were looking at me with feverish or hunter-like gazes.
My evaluation from the class has changed quite a bit from being an unremarkable boy.
Even knowing that I have six lovers, there are boys who are considering attacking me.
Everyone's 'Return Rights', 'Memory Inheritance', and the method to transfer abilities to Earth.
It will still take some time to gather everything, but what will happen in the future?
We've won the daily first place and the weekly first place in the Lulukudesu game.
Thank you to everyone who read it! Those who haven't read it yet, please do...!
The desert island story will continue.
For now, it's almost time for the Lumina-sensei arc.
