Chapter 6: I Have Betrayed the Female Instructor
Our life on the island began.
First, island clothes were distributed, and after changing, I was taught the men's work. I knew about felling trees with axes, but apparently, they also quarry stone and mine ore.
Also, I went around checking the traps set all over the island and finished off the caught animals and monsters.
Labor on this island is entirely the role of men, but Lilia-san said, "My body will get dull if I stay still," and decided to accompany us. Most likely, I think she's looking around the island and gathering information.
Sierra-san also didn't need to work, but she stuck to me saying, "I have to protect Leon-chan so he doesn't meet with danger!"
The women of the island criticized the two of them as "eccentrics" or "flirting with a man."
On the other hand, the men rumored them to be "Angels" or "Goddesses."
As for Fiona-san, she declared, "If I don't have to work, I'm not gonna," and remained in the settlement. Then, when we returned to the settlement for the lunch break, the island women had put strange decorations on their nails and hair and were wearing excessively heavy makeup.
"I taught everyone gyaru makeup."
She was spreading a new culture to the island.
"Also, like, have all the men make Insta-worthy sweets in the afternoon. A woman's command is absolute, right?"
Smiling with a smirk, Fiona-san tried to utilize her given rights to the maximum.
Thus, in the afternoon, we ended up doing trial and error to see if we could make bubble tea or crepes with ingredients found on the island.
At this rate, won't all the islanders eventually become gyarus...?
Eventually, night fell, but after dinner, Sierra-san made an outrageous proposal.
"Leon-chan, let's take a bath together with Mama today~."
I doubted my own ears.
Is she saying she'll mixed-bathe with me...?
No, but, there's no way Lilia-san would allow such a—
"It is extremely regrettable, but I will enter with you to keep watch so Leon-san doesn't assault Sierra-san."
"Is mixed bathing allowed!?"
"Due to the peculiar situation of this island, I will specially allow it."
"Peculiar situation...?"
I wonder what that means...? I haven't the faintest idea.
Also, I just noticed, but Elminora-san, who is a little distance away, is looking this way and looking frustrated for some reason. Did something happen?
"...I'll erase the memory later anyway," Lilia-san muttered something incomprehensible amidst my confusion.
"If you're erasing memories, I don't wanna be left out, so I guess I'll join too..."
And so, even Fiona-san announced she would mixed-bathe.
What exactly is happening? I don't understand. Am I going to die today?
Actually, both Lilia-san and Fiona-san are speaking on the premise that they can freely erase my memories, but what does that mean? Perhaps they intend to drug me?
Although I felt a touch of anxiety, that couldn't possibly be a reason to refuse mixed bathing. In high spirits, I headed to the hot spring located on the coast.
It was a hot spring surrounded by rocky mountains, and since there was no changing room, men and women separated to undress in the shadow of the rocks.
Having become fully naked immediately, I entered the hot spring first and waited for the women to enter.
While my heart pounded with anticipation for the events about to occur, Sierra-san appeared from behind a large rock.
Sierra-san wasn't hiding her body at all; every bit of her female body was fully visible.
"Uoooooh!!"
I involuntarily let out a scream of delight.
Sierra-san's body had been forged as a Hero Cadet, possessing perfect proportions. Moreover, she was displaying all of it without hesitation.
"Wait!! Prez!! Hide your nakedness!!"
Fiona-san, wearing only a single bath towel, hurriedly chased after her and tried to hand her a towel, but Sierra-san firmly refused.
"My Mama Power has awakened, so there is no need to hide in front of Leon-chan."
"What kind of nonsense are you saying!?"
Sierra-san said something incomprehensible, confusing Fiona-san.
I don't know what Mama Power is, but it's too supreme...!!
I gratefully burned every inch of her defenseless naked body into my mind.
"...Well, I'll erase the memory later anyway, so I suppose it's fine to let her do as she pleases."
While I was staring at the three specific female parts, Lilia-san finally appeared. Like Fiona-san, she was dressed in a stimulating manner, wrapped in only a single bath towel.
However, because Sierra-san was in her birthday suit right next to her, I didn't feel much eroticism. With such a mysterious sensation, I felt like I was going to lose it.
Anyway, for now, let's just stare intently at Sierra-san.
After that, Lilia-san and the others also entered the hot spring, but I concentrated all my nerves on watching Sierra-san's naked body submerged in the water.
"...Leon-cchi, seriously, aren't you looking at the Prez too much?"
Fiona-san offered a complaint.
In response, Sierra-san said cheerfully.
"That's only natural. Leon-chan loves Mama the most, so it means he wants to look at Mama forever."
"T-That is correct."
"No, stop lying! You just want to see boobs, right!"
"Since he's a baby, it is natural that he loves Mama's boobs."
"These guys are hopeless! Both of your ethics are dead!"
Fiona-san held her head and screamed.
But after that, Fiona-san started muttering something at a volume barely audible.
"...What should I do... Since the memory will be erased anyway... yeah..."
Then, about thirty seconds later, Fiona-san suddenly stood like a Deva statue in my line of sight.
The bath towel was clinging to her skin, and on top of that, it was slightly see-through and incredibly erotic...!!
"...Leon-cchi, want me to show you?"
Fiona-san, whose face had turned strangely red, asked a mysterious question.
"? Show me, what exactly?"
"My naked body."
"Hah...!!?"
"If you say you want to see it, Leon-cchi, I'll take off this bath towel—"
"I want to see it!!"
"Hilarious. That was an instant answer."
Fiona-san smiled bashfully.
Or so I thought, but then her expression looked like she had steeled her resolve—and she released the bath towel wrapped around her body all at once.
In that moment, Fiona-san's secret parts that shouldn't be shown to the opposite sex were all revealed.
"Uoooooh!!"
Once again, I couldn't help but raise a cheer. Fiona-san's body was also well-trained and extremely balanced.
My eyes were glued to her beautiful naked body.
The pure white swellings and the pale pink tips. The tightened waist and the cute navel. And above all, the divine cleft right below that...
"—Okay, that's it."
Fiona-san, face red to her ears, re-wrapped the bath towel and crouched down into the hot water.
It was a very short time, but I was allowed to observe thoroughly. I'm glad I was born a man.
"I will never forget this emotion for the rest of my life...!!"
"Forget 'the rest of your life,' you're going to forget everything in a few dozen minutes though."
Fiona-san said with an embarrassed smile. Behind her, Lilia-san wore a look of exasperation.
"Fiona-san... just what are you doing..."
"Ehehe. I wanted to try doing something like this once. Lilia-sensei, haven't you ever thought about that kind of thing?"
"I have not."
"Fiona-san. Don't say just once, please do it as many times as you like. I welcome it greatly."
"Leon-cchi really doesn't try to hide being a pervert, huh. That part of you is starting to look cute."
"I-Is that so? Hehehe..."
"...Leon-san and Sierra-san are clearly off the rails, but Fiona-san is pretty bad too, isn't she? I'm starting to want to quit being an instructor..."
Perhaps because the three students in her class had too many problems, Lilia-san was beginning to lose her confidence as an instructor.
S S S
Thus, the four of us gradually adapted to life on this island.
Men were beaten awake at 5:00 AM and performed physical labor or dangerous work until their physical limits. Meals were, of course, the women's leftovers.
Around 6:00 AM, Lilia-san and Sierra-san would appear at the men's workplace and help with the heavy lifting and monster subjugation.
We worked like that until the sun went down, and after getting exhausted, we would enter the open-air bath by the sea... or so it should be...
For some reason, I have absolutely no memory of taking a bath. According to Lilia-san and the others, I take a bath properly every day, but why can't I remember anything...
On the tenth day of living such mysterious days.
It was past 12:00 PM. As I was sitting on the ground eating leftovers as usual, Evanjesica-san appeared without warning.
While the men who were eating with me bowed their heads, Evanjesica-san announced.
"—Stone Pebble. I permit you to remove those leg irons."
No sooner had she spoken than she tossed the key to me.
"Is it okay?"
"Yes. You, Lilia, and Sierra have been working well. Fiona is just doing whatever she pleases, but she doesn't seem to be plotting anything. I've decided to trust you and accept you as true family."
Evanjesica-san continued with a gentle smile.
"I've already removed the leg irons from Lilia and the others too. From today, the four of you are free."
"That's good to hear."
After bowing slightly, I picked up the key and removed the leg irons. I felt my body instantly become lighter.
"Thank you for trusting us."
"No, I'm the one who should be thanking you. I heard from Elminora, but apparently, you do the work of five ordinary men, Stone Pebble. Thank you for contributing to the island's development."
"Those words are wasted on me."
I never dreamed the day would come when Evanjesica-san would praise me.
"By the way, Stone Pebble. Changing the subject, what do you think of Lilia, Sierra, and Fiona?"
"Huh? What... do you mean?"
"Elminora was grumbling. She wants to invite the Stone Pebble to the bath, but because the three of them have booked you way in advance, it never happens."
"Elminora-san wants to take a bath with me...!?"
"Ah, that's right. To prevent me from targeting your life, all memories regarding the bath were erased."
"Memories erased...?"
"First, I want to ask, do you know that you are mixed bathing with Lilia, Sierra, and Fiona every night, Stone Pebble?"
"—Yeeeees!!?"
Me, mixed bathing with the three of them!? Just what does that mean!?
"I see. As I thought, your memory is being erased every day."
"Umm... the story is too outrageous, I don't understand the meaning at all..."
"You are trained to execute Lilia's orders absolutely, aren't you? She's using that trait to erase your memories."
"Eeeh...?"
Memories... are being erased...?
"Is such a thing possible...?"
"I couldn't believe it either, but judging by your reaction, Stone Pebble, I can only think that it's really being done."
"I can't readily believe it..."
"That's my line."
Evanjesica-san looked at me with an indescribable expression. If her story is true, it explains why my memory is unnaturally lacking since coming to this island.
No, come to think of it... Even before coming to the island, there was a time when I went to sleep in my own room at night, but when I woke up, it was suddenly past noon, and for some reason, I was sleeping in the instructors' bath...
Could it be that my memory was being manipulated since back then...!?
"No matter how much of a puppet you are, I think stealing your memories is going too far. So, Stone Pebble, I have a little proposal—"
S S S
That night. Lilia-san, Sierra-san, and Fiona-san headed to the open-air bath on the coast with me as if it were perfectly natural.
Then, as I was soaking in the hot spring, heart pounding, Sierra-san and Fiona-san appeared.
Naturally, the two of them were fully naked.
It was an unbelievable sight. The two of them were not hiding their beautiful naked bodies at all.
My gaze moved back and forth at high speed, comparing the secret places of the two.
My god. This island really is paradise. It was a utopia.
While burning the wonderful scenery before my eyes onto my retinas, I thought in a corner of my mind. Neither Sierra-san nor Fiona-san acted like this was their first time mixed bathing with me. As expected, the story about erasing my memory was true.
Even so, to think I've seen such an amazing sight many times yet don't remember anything—I can't believe it.
Lilia-san also appeared a little late, but unfortunately, a white bath towel was wrapped around her body.
After rinsing off, the three of them sank their bodies into the hot water.
Then, Lilia-san looked around at us and opened her mouth.
"Everyone, you understand, right? Since we had our leg irons removed, we will escape from this island early tomorrow morning."
"—Eeeeeeeh!?"
"Ahaha. Leon-cchi getting surprised every day is hilarious."
Fiona-san, completely naked, laughed innocently at me as I screamed.
"Every day...?"
"Since no one can hear us here, we hold a strategy meeting about the escape in the bath every day. But since Leon-cchi gets his memory erased daily, you give a fresh reaction every time."
Fiona-san said, mixing in a sneer.
It seems the three of them have no intention of hiding the memory erasure. Surely, they think I will forget this conversation soon too. Otherwise, Sierra-san aside, there is no way Fiona-san would expose her full nudity.
While stealing glances at the naked chests of the two submerged in the water, I recalled what Evanjesica-sama told me during the day—
S S S
"Lilia is likely planning an escape from this island."
After I removed the leg irons, Evanjesica-sama dismissed the other men eating with us, and told me that when we were alone.
"Lilia-san is? Is that so?"
"It's almost certain. After all, Lilia isn't the type of woman to do another person's bidding. Don't you think so?"
"Y-Yes, well..."
I was troubled for an answer. I also have a vague hunch like that, but I haven't been told of any escape plan...
"From that reaction, you haven't been told about the escape plan, have you, Stone Pebble?"
Hit right on the mark, I nodded honestly.
"There is no merit in preparing in secret from you. Either she's wary you'll leak the plan, or the plan's details are being erased from your memory. It's likely the latter, don't you think?"
"I don't know... I can't say..."
"I'll ask you straight. what do you think of this island, Stone Pebble?"
"It's paradise."
"Right? Furthermore, every woman on this island thinks the one with the most appeal as a male is you, Stone Pebble. On top of that, if the female side desires it, polygamy is recognized. Such a thing is impossible outside the island, right?"
"That's true. It's a dream-like situation."
"But if Lilia leaves the island, your will, Stone Pebble, will be ignored, and you'll be forced to accompany her, right?"
"I suppose so... I can't go against her if ordered..."
"If only Lilia weren't here, you could have the women of this island all to yourself. At the very least, Elminora and the other two aides would be yours. Plus, there's a possibility young women will drift ashore in the future. Don't you think staying on the island offers a sweeter deal?"
"Gulp...!"
"Therefore, I command you. Leave Lilia, and become my slave."
"—!!"
"Also, I'll give you your first mission. Get the details of the escape plan out of Lilia, and report them to me."
"N-No, wait, but betraying Lilia-san is..."
When I answered hesitantly, Evanjesica-sama smiled pleasantly.
"Rest assured. I just want to grasp evidence of the escape and stop the plan. I won't let Lilia meet a terrible fate."
S S S
I asked Lilia-san while staring alternately at the chests of the two.
"So, regarding the escape from the island, what exactly are the arrangements?"
"First, upon investigating this island, we found it is a remote island, not connected to the mainland where the Hero Training School is. Since there are monsters in the sea, swimming across is difficult. Therefore, I had you build a boat, Leon-san, and hide it on the southern coast."
"Eh? I built a boat?"
"That is correct. Though, since we erase your memory every day, I don't suppose you remember anything."
"Why my memory...?"
"I don't erase it because I want to either. It's just that since I make you forget everything that happened in the bath every time, you end up forgetting it incidentally."
"Incidentally..."
"Yes. Thanks to that, every time we come to the bath, I have to explain the escape plan from scratch, which is a hassle."
"Even if you complain to me about that..."
Apparently, memory erasure doesn't allow for specifying the content that finely.
"By the way, there are traps set on the coast to catch escapees, right? Like the pitfalls Lilia-san and the others fell into at the beginning... Do we know the location and number of those traps?"
"You have already investigated that as well, Leon-san. You disarmed only the traps around the boat so that Evanjesica-san and her group wouldn't realize it."
"I did that too..."
My own talent is scary.
"Actually, this escape plan... did I perhaps prepare almost all of it by myself...?"
"That is so. You worked well, Leon-san."
Lilia-san stood up in the hot water with a cold smile.
Seeing the slightly transparent towel clinging to her skin, my expectations rose.
"Don't tell me, as a reward, you'll show me your nakedness?"
"What stupid things are you saying? I am not shameless like Fiona-san."
"No, well, it's not like I'm not embarrassed. It's just that hot springs are more relaxing without a bath towel, and since Leon-cchi forgets everything anyway, I just take it off. ...Also, Leon-cchi is my BF (Provisional), so I thought it might be okay for you to see it temporarily..."
Fiona-san offered an excuse embarrassedly. Honestly, being told "it might be okay for you to see it" made me incredibly happy.
By the way, why is Sierra-san fully naked as a matter of course? The fact that neither of them mentions it—is it because she's "Mama" after all?
"Now then, let's get out soon."
Lilia-san said, looking down at me.
"Once you put on your clothes, Leon-san, I will erase your memory of being here once, and then explain the escape plan again."
"U-Understood."
I stood up, hiding my enlarged crotch, and started walking toward where my clothes were—
"Wait a moment."
Just as I took a step, I was stopped by Lilia-san.
"Lilia-sensei, what's wrong?"
"It is strange. Usually, you stay in the hot spring until the end, Leon-san, licking us with your eyes as we get out. You display a creepiness that doesn't care what we think of you, wanting to appreciate female nudity for even one second longer. Yet today, you left the bath first..."
Crap. Lilia-san understands my nature too well.
"Don't tell me, Leon-san—"
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh—!!"
I screamed with all my might while covering my ears with both hands and started running.
Evanjesica-sama had told me. "Once you hear the details of the escape plan, plug both ears and run away while shouting loudly. If you do that, Lilia's orders won't be heard, and you won't lose your memory."
Lilia-san is trying to chase after me in a panic. I can't even pick up my clothes while keeping my hands on my ears, so I have no choice but to run as is.
There is a risk of encountering island women while fully naked, but if it's to protect these wonderful memories, it's a cheap price to pay.
Though, Lilia-san is in a single bath towel, and Sierra-san and Fiona-san are completely naked. I don't think they can chase me immediately, so I'll stop after gaining some distance and make underwear out of leaves.
S S S
After that, I somehow managed to return to the bedroom and get clothes. Knowing it would be a time loss, I decided to go to the toilet once to relieve myself.
The sight I saw in the hot spring earlier was too shocking; if I left it like this, I would continue to agonize.
Then, having immediately entered "Sage Mode," I arrived in front of the building where Evanjesica-sama's private room is.
I knelt on the ground and called out to the door.
"—Evanjesica-sama. I have returned after hearing the details of the escape plan from Lilia-san."
Evanjesica-sama appeared immediately, so I told her the plan.
"I see. A boat on the southern coast..."
"Shall I go destroy it?"
"No, there is a possibility Lilia is lying in wait there. You cannot resist if ordered, Stone Pebble, so there is a danger you will be taken away as is."
"That is true..."
"It's okay, I'll send the men."
"But Lilia-san is a formidable enemy, you know?"
"Our aim isn't Lilia, but the destruction of the boat. It's likely wooden, so it will be finished if just one person throws a torch."
"As expected of Evanjesica-sama."
"You come with me until the destruction of the boat is complete, Stone Pebble."
"Understood."
Evanjesica-sama commenced action immediately. She gave instructions to her aides and sent men to the southern coast.
This is fine. I will remain on this island, serve Evanjesica-sama, and live happy days—
"HEY YOUUUUU!! LEON-CCHIIII—!!"
Suddenly, a beast-like roar echoed through the surroundings.
Immediately after, a furious Fiona-san appeared.
"Why did you betray us?!"
She was incredibly pissed off.
"Th—"
"I don't need to hear your excuses, I already know! They told you if you stayed on this island, you could flirt with a bunch of girls, didn't they?!"
"......That is exactly correct."
"You really don't think about anything other than lewd stuff, do you!!"
"Fiona-san, you should live on this island too. We men will handle all the troublesome work, so you can just play every day. Doesn't that sound nice?"
"......I admit, I thought about it for a second when I heard the escape plan from Lilia-sensei."
"In that case..."
"But like, isn't this island kinda boring? There's nothing Insta-worthy here at all."
"If you want something photogenic, you can just order us to build it."
"Nah, the kind of stuff I think is photogenic is, like, giant dragons and stuff."
"That... is a bit beyond our capabilities."
"Plus, I have a dream to become a Hero, travel the world, and take tons of pics. I’ve enjoyed my vacation for a bit, but it’s time to go home."
"......I understand. Then, please leave me behind. I’m going to live a harem life on this island."
"Hah? No way in hell. Leon-cchi is my Boyfie (Pending), so I'm taking you with me."
"Then let us dissolve that relationship."
"I don't accept that. Leon-cchi belongs to me, so I’m not handing you over to anyone."
"That is tyrannical."
"If you talk back, I'm gonna show the girls in class that picture of you tied half-naked to a tree."
"I do not mind. I am not returning to school, after all."
No, actually, I minded a lot, but I had to make her think the weakness she held was no longer valuable.
"......Leon-cchi, are you serious?"
"Of course."
"......Okay. I get it. If you're gonna go that far, I'll tie your hands and feet and drag you back."
"You don't 'get it' at all!!"
However, Fiona-san seemed serious, and she suddenly yanked her clothes down.
Fiona-san wasn't wearing a bra, and her shapely breasts popped right out.
"With this, Leon-cchi should be instantly weakened and unable to dodge my attack!"
Screaming, Fiona-san charged forward holding only a rope.
To think she would resolve to throw away her shame and reputation to this extent—!!
While shocked and appalled, my eyes were glued to Fiona-san’s chest.
I had just seen plenty of them in the hot spring, but they were bouncing up and down intensely in time with her movements, and I couldn't help but stare.
"—Good grief. What a handful of a slave."
The instant Fiona-san was about to capture me, Evanjesica-sama cut in between us.
"Fiona, I will be your opponent. I may not look like it, but I am quite strong."
"Ha! I'm a Hero Cadet too, you know. There's no way I'm gonna lose!"
Fiona-san responded to the challenge with her chest still exposed. I couldn't look away.
Evanjesica-sama seemed to think using a blade would be too much, so she attempted to restrain Fiona-san with her bare hands.
Fiona-san, on the other hand, didn't draw her sword either, gripping the rope tightly as she moved to intercept—
"By the way, Fiona. I ordered the men to burn the boat at the Southern Coast and then return here."
"—Eh, seriously?"
"It is true. Shouldn't you put your breasts away quickly?"
"Kh...!!"
Fiona-san groaned in frustration, then pulled her clothes back up.
"If I can't have my boobs out, it looks like capturing Leon-cchi alone is gonna be impossible... In that case!"
Immediately after calmly analyzing the war situation, Fiona-san turned her back and fled.
"She likely went to the Southern Coast to call for help. I wonder what became of the boat destruction I ordered the men to carry out."
"Shall we go see?"
"Yes. However, Pebble, keep your ears covered at all times so you cannot be ordered by Lilia."
"Understood."
SSS
When we arrived at the Southern Coast while I held my ears, the boat was moored there, completely unharmed.
The men sent to destroy it were all crawling on the ground.
As expected of Lilia-san. It seems she repelled them while protecting the boat.
When Lilia-san spotted me, she glared with a monstrous expression. She appeared to be extremely furious about my betrayal.
"—Good grief. Men other than the Pebble are useless."
Evanjesica-sama looked down at the men and spat out the words. Even with my ears covered, I could hear to some extent.
However, I couldn't just suddenly start shouting here. I had to make sure Lilia-san didn't find out I could actually hear a little bit.
As I thought this, Evanjesica-sama began to speak beside me.
"Even so, I didn't think Lilia was this strong. I did it to create an opening to execute the escape plan, but perhaps I shouldn't have removed the leg irons."
"It is too late for regrets now. I will be taking Leon-san back."
Saying that, Lilia-san lunged at Evanjesica-sama.
However, Evanjesica-sama quickly parried Lilia-san’s approaching right arm.
"Lilia, you must be quite frustrated that the Pebble defected to my side?"
"No, I feel nothing."
"That is a lie. Your obsession with the Pebble is proof."
"I am simply trying to retrieve my property. —That said, Leon-san is my puppet, and has no right to possess a will of his own. I do believe I must drill that fact into him."
"Fufu, what a wonderful way of thinking. If you had been born on this island, Lilia, we might have become best friends."
"Even if I were born on this island, I believe I would have tried to leave immediately."
"Is that because this island is boring?"
"No. I simply find your way of thinking boring, Evanjesica-san."
"—What did you say?"
"You complained that the men were useless, but isn't that just because you've shut yourself away on this tiny island? There are plenty of more capable men outside the island, you know?"
"Kh—!!"
Perhaps feeling she had been hit where it hurt, Evanjesica-sama flinched slightly.
Lilia-san did not overlook that opening and drove her fist into her abdomen.
Evanjesica-sama groaned quietly and crouched on the spot.
"—If you want a human puppet that badly, leave this island and find your ideal slave with your own two feet."
With those words, Evanjesica-san seemed completely stripped of her fighting spirit. Her shoulders slumped, and she didn't move from that spot.
Convinced of her victory, Lilia-san raised her head and glared at me.
Since Evanjesica-san had been defeated, naturally, my punishment was about to begin...
As I steeled myself, Lilia-san closed the distance between us with speed invisible to the eye.
Then, she tore my hands away from my ears.
"『Don't move.』"
With this single phrase, all my resistance was sealed.
"......Now then. My anger toward you is so great, Leon-san, that I cannot even imagine what punishment would be appropriate."
"In that case, how about letting me off with a warning?"
"For the time being, I am thinking of making you sit in seiza, hold a giant rock, and receive one hundred lashes."
"You already have a concrete plan..."
I imagined myself being whipped by Lilia-san in the extreme state of holding a rock, and inadvertently shivered as I spoke.
SSS
After that, we returned to the settlement for the time being.
"Since there is no longer a need to leave in secret, let us make perfect preparations for the monsters we will encounter at sea."
"Wait, weren't we here to defeat Slime-san in the first place? Is it okay to just go home?"
"That is true. Let us consider that as well."
"Does that mean we're staying on this island a bit longer?"
"Yes. Even if the boat gets destroyed, you can just build another one, Leon-san."
As Lilia-san and I were discussing this, Sierra-san and Fiona-san, who had been acting separately, rejoined us.
"Lilia-sensei, did you erase Leon-cchi's memory of the hot springs?"
Fiona-san confirmed this the moment she opened her mouth, and Lilia-san shook her head.
"Not yet."
"Eh!? Why!?"
"If I erase his memory at this timing, the explanation will become complicated."
"Erase it ASAP! Also, I accidentally showed him my boobs when trying to catch him earlier, so erase that memory too!"
"Please do not arbitrarily increase the number of memories to be erased. ......Good grief, I suppose it cannot be helped..."
Lilia-san sighed and turned to face me.
Preparing myself for the memory of the mixed bathing to be wiped after all.
"『Forget that you mixed bathed with us and saw Fiona-san's chest today.』"
SSS
When I came to, I was lying on my back outdoors. It was dark around me, and a brightly shining moon hung in the sky above.
Nearby, Lilia-san, Sierra-san, Fiona-san, and Evanjesica-sama were sitting, and for some reason, all four were focused on me.
"......Huh? What was I doing after eating dinner...?"
If I recall, Evanjesica-sama told me during the day to get the escape plan out of Lilia-san, and I was thinking of executing it when night fell, but...
"Leon-san. We are now going to discuss how to escape this island."
"—Eh!? We're leaving!? Wait, is it okay to say that in front of Evanjesica-sama...!?"
"Those issues have all been resolved. It is annoying, so please do not be surprised every single time you lose your memory."
"Ehh..."
I received a difficult complaint.
Wait, was my memory really erased...?
"While you were sleeping, Leon-san, it was decided that we will use this island as a base to aim for the subjugation of the Slime Monster Girl."
"Oh, is that so?"
"To do that, there are two major obstacles. One is that monsters inhabit the sea. If we simply sail, there is a danger the boat will be destroyed like last time. The other is that the Slime Monster Girl flies. I do not think she will go out of her way to come down to the ground, and it will be difficult to subjugate her with katana or swords. However, this island has weapons that can solve both problems."
"Bows and arrows."
"Yes. If we coat the arrows with paralytic poison, it should be effective against both the sea monsters and the Slime Monster Girl. However, neither Sierra-san, Fiona-san, nor I have handled bows and arrows much. How about you, Leon-san?"
"I haven't either."
"I thought not. The bow is a weapon that takes time to master. I do not believe we can shoot down a flying monster with overnight training. Therefore, we have decided to ask the women of the island to lend us their strength."
"No way!? Evanjesica-sama agreed to that!?"
"Is it really that surprising? If there is a threat near this island, it is better to eliminate it."
Evanjesica-sama smiled proudly. I recalled the magnificent archery skills of the women I witnessed immediately after landing on this island.
"That is reassuring. I look forward to working with you."
"However, the boat you built, Leon-san, is a four-seater, which isn't large enough. Therefore, please build one more vessel starting now."
"No, even if you say that so easily, I don't have any memory of building one in the first place."
"『Remember when you built the boat.』"
"—Aaahhh! I remember!"
"Then, please get to it."
"W-Wait a minute, Lilia-san! Can my memories be erased and restored just by ordering it!?"
"That is correct. What kind of brain structure do you have, exactly?"
"Even if you say it like I'm the weird one... No, am I the weird one...?"
"So, how long will it take to build the boat?"
"Since I built one before and know the tricks, I think I can do it in one day."
"Understood. Then let us build the boat tomorrow, and depart the morning of the day after."
Thus, unbeknownst to me, Lilia-san and Evanjesica-sama joined forces, and we were set to head out to subjugate Slime-san.
