Chapter 447 – The Story of the Uninhabited Island (2)
The feeling of being alive did not last very long. Anxiety that pours after relief. Those who woke up in an unknown place after being caught in the waves… For the first time in my life, I became concerned about ‘survival’. Traces of human civilization that can’t be found even if you look around. Survivors who automatically thought of the word ‘uninhabited island’ couldn’t help but feel depressed.
A situation where all you have now is one set of clothes.
There was nowhere to eat and nowhere to sleep. It wasn’t that I couldn’t get out of here. The vast sea in front of you, the dense forest behind your back. It was fortunate that no one was hurt, but… Maybe I’ll die here? I didn’t say it out of my mouth, but everyone thought the same thing. Now they were feeling the fear of ‘death’.
“Kh, will the cruise send a rescue team?”
“… It will. They will be looking for us.”
“Oh, is that so? Will you be rescued soon?”
“Then… Will be rescued Yes, that will happen.”
Miyu, who can’t let go of her hopes even though she knows the odds are low, and Ushio, who lies to reassure her girlfriend. Still, the two people who had someone to rely on were able to maintain their mentality even if it was difficult.
However, Reina, who was left alone overnight, was not like that. She will never see the face of her beloved husband again. Reina shrugged her shoulders and shed tears. Now she was just a weak woman, not a teacher.
“Matsuo, black… Hehe, Matsuo… What should I do… Ugh, black… “
“Ray-chan… “
“Teacher… Black, black… “
The storm has disappeared, but the cruise is nowhere to be seen. Sadness is contagious, Miyu shed tears too. The hope I was trying to hold on to was gradually buried by the sound of crying. Disappearance, lost child, despair, suicide… Horrible words that come to mind even when you don’t want to think of them. When the two crying people felt exhausted, someone made footsteps.
– Beogjeokjeokjeokjeok
Heito was the only one who was sane.
“Mu, Mukai! Where are you going?!”
“Forest.”
“What? Suddenly?”
“Suddenly what? What difference does it make if you’re crying here?”
Instead of falling into despair, Haito decided to adapt to the reality he faced. As he walked into the woods, Ushio gained courage. Just like Haito said, crying didn’t change anything. After holding Miyu and Reina’s hands, Ushio follows Haito. In the fear of death, he felt the need to survive.

Ushio would have moved if left alone, but… I hated waiting for that moment. If you are stuck on an island, you have to move quickly, what the hell is the hesitation about? Feeling stuffy, I walked to the forest first, and Ushio followed me, as if I had realized something.
“Miyu and Rei-chan! It might not be an uninhabited island! If you go into the forest, there might be a road! And it’s not South America or Africa, it’s the Mediterranean! Then, even if it is an uninhabited island, there will be nothing dangerous. I can guarantee that!”
“Ushio-kun… Yes, I believe.”
“But… When the rescue team comes… “
“Are you okay. That’s why you put up an SOS sign. When the rescue team comes, they will follow our trail into the forest. So you don’t have to worry about getting mixed up.”
Oh, the main character is also the main character. Ushio forcibly raises the tension and encourages the heroines. The two of them stopped crying, as if his hopeful voice gave them strength. The heroines cling to both sides of Ushio like flowers on both hands. The two of them looked around the depths of the forest, relying on Ushio.
“Oh, these are edible mushrooms!”
“Really?”
“Huh! When I went camping with Matsuo… Oops… “
“Oh, that’s right! You don’t have to worry about starving!”
“… Yes.”
“Miyu! Ray-chan! Look at that, there are fruits too!”
“Wow, aren’t there just one or two?!”
Food that can be easily found by turning your head a little. Having escaped the worst, they raised their voices and rejoiced. At least I won’t die of starvation, he seemed relieved. Then there’s that water… The sound of the river flowing nearby. Noticing this, Miyu clapped her hands and called out to Ushio. It was an atmosphere where food and drink were also solved.
“Ah, Ushio-kun! Water sound! I can hear the sound of water!”
“It’s real! This way!”
“Hey, wait a minute, guys! Go with me!”
And when we arrived at the riverside, we saw traces of people in the distance. Finding buildings that looked like log cabins, they hurriedly ran and looked around. Then, unable to cry or laugh, they looked at each other devastated. A language you’ve never seen that resembles the alphabet. Rayna, who identified it as Greek, interpreted the sentence on her sign.
It was “Stopping the development of the uninhabited island of Kier.”
“Ahaha… In the end, it was an uninhabited island… “
“Yeah, but it’s an island with a name attached to it! If you wait, the rescue team will surely come to find you! And like this! You found a place to sleep!”
“Without a roof… It’s just a log cabin that was built?”
“Ray-chan! Where is this though! You got away with sleeping on the ground!”
The result was not what we expected, but the three of us were able to have hope. Reina agreed with Ushio’s words and let out a sigh of relief. The location is also high, so you can see the sea. If you hold on here, you can survive enough.
The three people who found out about it burst into laughter.
So… Can we start slowly now?
I raised my hand and used telekinesis. First, I was thinking of making a sweet home. Still, I’m an awakened person, but I can’t sleep at home after making this. A log cabin that can be dismantled with a single gesture. When I moved my hand one more time, the house that was still intact had a roof.
“Mukai-kun… ?”
Everyone looked at me.

“Huh? Ah, I’m actually a psychic.”
“What?!”
“You know ‘telekinesis’, right? Actually, I have those abilities.”
Shocking confession. I wanted to stop saying such nonsensical things, but… To that end, a house was actually completed quickly. Hearing my grumbling, Mukai-kun completed the roof in an instant. My eyes widened at the unbelievable reality.
“Oh my god! Mukai, did you have this ability?!”
“Well, let’s see.”
“That’s great! What, what is that! Do you have the ability to summon?!”
“It’s an inventory ability, to be exact.”
And this time, a suntan chair… So, the summoned (?) Mukai-kun. It’s an inventory ability… It was like the ability to store things and retrieve them. Actually, that chair was a suntan chair on a cruise ship. Now, hold on… That means it was stolen!
“Mukai-kun! That chair… “
Shocked at the disciple’s criminal act, I shouted
“Huh?!”
“Let’s be quiet. Huh?”
Mukai-kun gave me ice cream. It was my favorite yogurt flavor. Mukai-kun says he has a lot to eat. Although my student… It was really believable. Stealing was a bad deed, but now it’s an emergency… I decided to skip this.
“Mukai-kun… Why do you have that ability… “
“Huh?”
“Did you get swept away by the waves with us?”
“Ah… It’s an ability to use mental power, so you can only use it when you can afford it.”
Being able doesn’t mean you’re invincible. It was Miss Toyama’s sharp question. However, Mukai-kun was not a mean child who pretended not to see other people’s crisis. Desperately… The Mukai-kun who protected me. I was worried because of my bad behavior, but it turned out that I wasn’t a bad kid by nature. If so, I should lead you to education.
“Mukai-kun, thank you for this.”
“Under? I told you to keep your mouth shut.”
“Hehe.”
I decided to become Mukai-kun’s true teacher.
“Thank you too, Mukai! I was worried about the roof, but thanks to you, it was resolved.”
“Under? What bullshit is that?”
Haha, don’t be shy. It’s because of you.”
“No, what bullshit is that? Who let you use this house?”
“… Huh?”
“Did you leave the house with me? Don’t bullshit, you’ll get your house.”
That, but… As soon as I made up my mind, my student got into trouble.
It would be nice if everyone could use the house they built, but Mukai-kun said he would use it alone. Shinada-kun, who was hot on him, got angry as if it was absurd. At times like this, Shinada-kun raises his voice, saying that we should help each other and live. But Mukai-kun didn’t agree with him.
“You say you live by helping? Fuck. You’re asking for help unilaterally. How will you help me huh? What can you do? I’m sorry, but I don’t need your help.”
“You don’t know that! You may need help. And… You have nothing to lose by helping. Then isn’t it human to help? If it were me, I would!”
“That’s right, Mukai-kun. You are a good-natured child. You protected me even then.”
“Ha, ice cream confiscated.”
“Eh?!”
Wow, did I just say that? The ice cream disappeared with Mukai-kun’s gesture. I didn’t think it was wrong, but Mukai-kun’s face turned grim. Mukai-kun sighed while looking at Shinada-kun and me in turn. As I was afraid of something, Mukai-kun refuted my words in a low voice.
“I’m not ruthless enough to let people die.”
“That, right? Mukai-kun, people are kind!”
“But I’m not stupid enough to serve a sane person.”
“Eh, that, is it?”
I think I’m stupid when I see that I only get failing grades all the time… My student was overestimating himself. But after hearing the explanation that followed, I thought maybe I wasn’t stupid. Since the island is rich in resources, Mukai doesn’t feel the need to help. Listening to the story, it wasn’t entirely wrong.
“Sinada, you are a nuisance.”
“You’re annoying! I’m not saying this because it’s annoying!”
“No, that’s annoying. There is plenty to eat and water to drink. There is a house to shelter from the rain and a lot of leftovers. Even without me, you can survive enough. But you don’t want to do that. You want to be more comfortable. Am I wrong?”
“You built a house with a single gesture. Then, at least, isn’t it possible to build a house for us to live in? It’s not too difficult! Making a roof is also a job, and you can get hurt if you do it wrong. You may catch a cold because the construction takes a long time, and treatment may be delayed, leading to a serious illness. I’m asking you because I’m worried about that!”
And Shinada-kun’s claim was not wrong. Me, I also want to sleep on a roof. It shouldn’t have been difficult for Mukai-kun, but I hated it for nothing because it seemed like he was forcing himself. However, I was afraid of Mukai-kun, so I couldn’t get angry like Shinada-kun.
“Yeah, it’s not too difficult. But why should I do that? Do you want me to do something for nothing? Who do you know as Hogu? If you catch a cold, tell me. I can help you with that much. But I can’t honor your request to build a house for nothing.”
“You really… Selfish… “
“Ushio-kun!”
Wow, what a surprise… The funniest thing after watching a fire is watching a fight. I was watching a horse fight between my students, and Miss Toyama suddenly joined the battle. Miss Toyama jumped out of nowhere and stood in front of Mukai-kun. She stopped Shinada-kun… I bowed her back 90 degrees and apologized to Mukai-kun. It was something she hadn’t thought of.
“Mi, sorry! Asking for help is a forced request. Ushio-kun, Sensei, and me who had been silent… I was fooling around by relying on your abilities. But as you say, it’s wrong to want something for nothing in return. It is forced.”
“Mi, Miyu… “
“Sorry… I’m sorry, Mukai-kun. I will apologize on behalf of Ushio-kun.”
“Miyu, what are you talking about!”
“No! This time, Mukai-kun is right! I beg you, listen to me!”
“Miyu… Chet.”
Wow… Toyama-san, unexpectedly, you have a platform. When his girlfriend said that, Shinada-kun took a step back. And Mukai-kun also accepted her apology. Thanks to that, the dispute was resolved without much trouble. After finishing the story, Mukai-kun sat down in the sunten chair. Then… Alas! That’s what I ate! He took out an ice cream and started licking it.
After all, Mukai-kun was a stupid kid.
“Hey, Mukai-kun.”
“Yes?”
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“Ok. What?”
“I don’t want to help without a price… Does that mean you’ll help if there’s a price?”
“Well, that’s how it is.”
“Then Mukai-kun. Can I know what you want?”
“That’s not difficult.”
“What?”
“Female.”
“What?!”
Shinada-kun screams and Toyama-san frowns in surprise. And I remember what happened a few hours ago. My water-soaked breast… I was staring at you. Oh, what should I do, honey! My apprentice, Mukai-kun, was no ordinary idiot. That kid staring at me and sucking on his ice cream… Among idiots, he was a pervert, a top-notch idiot.
