The sky had darkened without her noticing.
Just like the setting of hunger, after dark, the number and types of monsters significantly increased, making it a place of danger and difficult to move for ordinary people.
However, Natsuki only went for a stroll in the depths of the forest, taking no more than ten minutes, and soon returned from hunting, carrying over a dozen large spiders with their heads and tails removed.
"Natsuki-kun is back!"
"Come in, quick, come in!"
"It's completely dark outside now."
"…"
Seeing Natsuki return, the girls sitting in the cave waved and called out.
Natsuki walked into the cave and handed over the spiders in his hand:
"We're still eating these tonight."
Seeing the dark, unappetizing spiders, the girls' faces all showed expressions of disgust, but no one stubbornly said they wouldn't eat them; even Shoko silently reached out, timidly took a spider, and prepared to roast it herself.
The shells and sea urchins that Chika had previously dived for were only enough for a small snack, nowhere near enough to eat.
And after a day of busyness, the girls were already famished, having experienced the terror of hunger.
True Island survival can cure any picky eating habits.
When you're terribly thirsty, you even have to learn from Bear Grylls and recycle wastewater for self-consumption.
Crackling ~
The spiders, skewered on bamboo sticks and roasted over the fire, occasionally crackled, and the protein, under the action of the flames, emitted a faint char-grilled aroma, not particularly pleasant but not off-putting either.
"This is real Island survival!"
Chika roasted the spider while raising her chin, her voice clear as she said:
"I read Robinson Crusoe in junior high, and at the time I thought it was super interesting, being shipwrecked on a deserted Island, then one person farming, one person brewing wine, one person building a shelter. I never thought I'd get to experience it myself; it's really so interesting."
Juju couldn't help but quietly complain:
"Being stranded on an Island, encountering monsters, and not even having coherent memories in your mind, it's not interesting at all, is it?"
"Mm-hmm."
Komi quickly nodded in agreement.
Hayasaka rested her right hand on her chin and said: "Compared to roasted spiders, I'd rather eat watermelon and drink cola."
Tsubame softly said: "There are no changes of clothes on the Island, no cosmetics, no mobile phones, no electricity; I choose civilized society."
"N-no, don't say that!" Chika said with a bitter, pitiful face, "If you keep talking, Island survival won't be fun at all."
"It wasn't fun to begin with, okay!"
"…"
Except for Kaguya, who had already awakened and knew the cause and effect, the other girls had not yet recovered their memories. Being stranded on an Island at this moment, they inevitably lacked a sense of security and couldn't feel happy.
But to be honest, Natsuki, like Chika, actually found Island survival quite enjoyable.
Food.
Freshwater.
Fire source.
A safe shelter.
The material basis for wilderness survival had been met.
For ordinary people, wilderness survival also has a more terrifying enemy: loneliness.
Unfortunately, for Natsuki, this even more terrifying enemy simply did not exist.
Watching the girls sitting in a circle, roasting spiders and chatting and complaining, a subtle feeling suddenly arose in Natsuki's heart: "If we really encountered a shipwreck and were stranded on a secluded Island, living together with everyone would be quite nice…"
This thought had barely surfaced before Natsuki shook his head and dispelled it.
Marin and Sayu had not yet been rescued.
There were still parents and relatives in the outside world.
One cannot remain in illusions; one must move forward.
Eating spiders and chatting, before they knew it, the sky outside the cave had completely darkened.
From within the forest, strange roars occasionally echoed, but for the girls hiding in the cave they had personally excavated, they felt no fear at all; on the contrary, they felt completely safe.
"Natsuki-kun~"
After eating the spiders, Chika clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked up pitifully.
Natsuki looked at Chika and asked: "What's wrong?"
Chika said expectantly: "I want to brush my teeth."
Natsuki was instantly speechless: "This is a secluded Island; you actually still want to brush your teeth. That's too many demands."
When Robinson Crusoe was stranded on a deserted Island, he never considered brushing his teeth; at most, he chewed some leaves to clean his mouth!
"But it's so uncomfortable not to brush my teeth." Chika's eyes were full of anticipation. "Natsuki-kun is so amazing; he must have a way, right?"
Tsubame also looked over expectantly: "Um, I want to brush my teeth too."
"And me." Hayasaka raised her hand, looking over with a half-smile, "Natsuki-kun shouldn't disappoint everyone, right?"
In Japan's daily habits, people brush their teeth three times a day, in the morning, noon, and evening, paying great attention to oral hygiene. So even when stranded on a deserted Island, they still wanted to shower and brush their teeth.
"I do have toothpaste." Natsuki took out a tube of toothpaste from his backpack. The miscellaneous items in the game Blind Box were varied, and when he got toothpaste, he thought it was trash, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now. "But you can't just use it for free, can you?"
Yukino crossed her arms over her chest, turned to Kaguya upon hearing this, and said calmly: "Kaguya-san, what do you say?"
Kaguya tilted her head and looked over, saying with a half-smile: "What does President want us to do?"
Natsuki: "…"
Damn it.
He was completely controlled by Yukino!
"I just want you to be a bit frugal, after all, toothpaste is a non-renewable consumable." Natsuki decisively lowered his head and handed the toothpaste to Kaguya with both hands, "Please feel free to use it."
"Eh?" Chika blinked, her tone puzzled, "Natsuki-kun seems very afraid of Kaguya-chan?"
"It's not fear." Natsuki corrected, "It's respect."
"…"
The girls walked out of the cave and began to take turns washing up.
Even when stranded on a deserted Island, personal hygiene still mattered.
By the time everyone had finished washing up, deep night had unknowingly fallen, and some people were already yawning and getting sleepy.
Everyone briefly assigned the order of night watch, two people per group, to watch together to prevent anyone from falling asleep and encountering danger unknowingly, while the others began to rest.
The cave quickly became quiet.
Natsuki chose the night watch shift before dawn, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day.
It wasn't actually a true next day; it was just that the sky outside brightened again, but the sky, like yesterday, still had no sun, only a dim light, and even though the sky brightened, it was still covered by a faint haze.
Natsuki was sitting at the entrance of the cave, performing his night watch duty, when he suddenly saw Yukino's eyelashes flutter gently nearby, and she opened her eyes in confusion.
"Awake?"
Natsuki extended his right hand and gently patted Yukino's head.
Yukino had just woken up, her eyes misty, clearly still a bit muddled. Being petted now, she instinctively rubbed gently against Natsuki's palm, like a cat.
But within a few seconds, Yukino fully woke up, quickly turned her head away, a hint of shyness appearing in her eyes, and she bit her silver teeth, whispering:
"You…"
"Quiet down." Natsuki put a finger to his lips, reminding her softly, "Don't wake the others."
Yukino looked around, and seeing that the others in the cave were still sleeping, she took a deep breath, suppressing her annoyance.
"I was just checking if the mushroom on top of your head was ripe." Natsuki raised his hands, saying earnestly, "Now I have two pieces of news, one good, one bad. Which one do you want to hear first, Yukino?"
Yukino silently sat up, looked around at the sleeping girls, let out a soft breath, raised her right hand, and combed her messy hair with her slender fingers, whispering: "The bad news."
Natsuki said: "The bad news is too terrible; I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. I can only tell you outside."
Yukino: "…"
Just how terrible could the news be that she wouldn't be able to handle it!
Yukino's lips moved slightly, resisting the urge to ask, and she whispered: "Then what's the good news?"
Natsuki smiled and said: "The mushroom on top of your head is ripe."
…That certainly counted as good news.
Yukino's eyes brightened slightly, and she whispered: "So, I can awaken now?"
Natsuki nodded and said: "You can. Let's go outside the cave."
"Mm."
Yukino nodded gently and followed him out of the cave.
"Let's go a bit further." Natsuki strode into the distance, whispering, "Don't wake everyone."
Yukino's steps hesitated slightly, then she silently followed.
As of now, this boy's character was still trustworthy—there were no laws or morals on the Island, and no one could punish him for whatever he did.
For example, last night, when everyone slept together in the cave, this guy was quite honest and did not violate any of the girls.
If it were any other man with absolute dominance, someone would surely have lost their innocence last night…
Wait.
Yukino suddenly remembered being accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect yesterday.
In the past, after doing something like that, wouldn't one's chastity be considered lost?
Yukino's pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly shook her head, banishing yesterday's embarrassing scene from her mind.
A moment later.
"Let's do it here."
Natsuki stopped and looked at Yukino behind him.
"How do we do it?"
Yukino stopped and asked softly.
Natsuki shamelessly said: "The mushroom on your head needs a kiss to explode, and then you can awaken."
"…"
Yukino crossed her arms, raised her delicate brows, and turned to walk back.
Natsuki quickly stopped her and said: "Where are you going, Yukino?"
Yukino said expressionlessly: "I'm going to ask Kaguya."
"Don't go." Natsuki grabbed Yukino, his voice full of grievance, "You don't trust me at all?"
"You're right." Yukino was expressionless, her eyes full of disdain, "I only trust Kaguya."
Natsuki: "…"
Indeed.
The smarter a girl was, the harder she was to fool.
Natsuki cleared his throat twice, then said: "Alright, actually, we can skip the kissing prerequisite…"
"Heh."
Yukino crossed her arms, looking at him with disdain.
"I just wanted to impart some life experience to Yukino." Natsuki raised his right hand, speaking earnestly, "Girls need to protect themselves when they're out and about, and not easily trust strangers."
"You only learn from your mistakes."
"Once Yukino has been tricked, she naturally won't fall for it again."
Yukino wanted to hit him after hearing that, and couldn't help but grit her teeth and say:
"…Shameless!"
Natsuki's tone was innocent: "I'm doing all of this for Yukino's sake."
"…Utterly shameless!"
He was clearly taking advantage of someone, yet he could brazenly claim it was for their own good. She had never seen such a shameless person!
Yukino pressed her fingers to her temples, swallowing the words that came to her lips. It was useless to scold such a shameless guy. She gritted her teeth and said:
"Don't waste time, let's start quickly."
Natsuki nodded and said: "Yes, as Yukino-sama commands."
"Wait a moment." Yukino suddenly remembered something, "What was the bad news you mentioned?"
"Yukino will know soon."
Natsuki's tone was meaningful. He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
Snap.
The mushroom on Yukino's head quickly burst open and vanished.
A few seconds later.
The sin of lust power, representing human nature, quickly swept through her body, occupying every corner of the girl's body and soul.
"Mmm… unh—!"
Yukino's body trembled suddenly, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan. Her voice trembled slightly, completely different from her previous cool and icy demeanor. It instantly made one's heart pound and throat go dry.
"Wh-what's happening… My body… it's so strange…"
Yukino felt her legs suddenly go weak. In just a few short breaths, she couldn't stand steadily and was swaying precariously.
Natsuki reached out his right hand to support Yukino.
The moment their arms and skin touched, Yukino felt as if an electric current flowed over her skin, instantly sweeping through every pore of her body. She couldn't help but open her lips again, and a soft hum escaped her mouth.
"Ah…!"
The sin of lust was a biological instinct that humans couldn't discard throughout millions of years of evolution. To resist it with willpower was pure wishful thinking.
Of course, those who had never experienced lewd might have stronger resistance.
Those who already knew its pleasure couldn't resist it at all.
Not long after.
The confusion in Yukino's eyes quickly faded, revealing clarity.
"Natsuki… Scumbag-kun?"
Natsuki said gently: "Yukino, welcome back."
"You…" Yukino was about to speak when she suddenly felt an indescribable urge Attack again. Her rationality almost collapsed, her pretty face flushed crimson, and her breathing was rapid. She quickly said, "Y-you quickly let go of me!"
Natsuki said innocently: "Yukino, please think carefully, you're the one holding onto me and not letting go."
"…"
Yukino bit her lip tightly, wanting to push Natsuki away and create distance.
Unfortunately, she couldn't push him away at all.
Yukino's breathing was rapid. She found that skin-to-skin contact was so amazing, making one intoxicated. Even if her mind wanted to push him away, her body completely disobeyed her.
Simply put… she wanted to stick close.
Preferably, she wanted to take off all her clothes and be completely naked, in full-body contact.
The joy of sticking close, people who don't have girlfriends really can't imagine its wonder.
"Yukino, why are you rubbing against me?" Natsuki slowly leaned closer to Yukino, whispering in her ear.
"D-damn it…"
Yukino's eyes were filled with shame and anger. She knew Natsuki was doing it on purpose and wanted to scold him, but she quickly found that her arms involuntarily lifted and then tightly embraced Natsuki's neck.
Skin-to-skin contact was intimate. The temperature outside the cave was very low, but both of them could clearly feel each other's warmth.
The sin of lust, stemming from biological instinct, was like a bursting flood, impacting Yukino's dam of rationality wave after wave.
She didn't know how long it lasted; it seemed like a very long time, and yet it seemed like only a few seconds. The dam named rationality finally collapsed with a roar.
Yukino parted her lips, let out a helpless sigh, then closed her ashamed, bright eyes, giving up. She stood on her tiptoes and directly kissed him.
Anyway, she had already kissed him many times, so one more kiss wouldn't matter, right…
Lips met lips, like hot oil meeting cold water, instantly exploding. Yukino felt a buzzing in her head, unable to control herself in the slightest, and involuntarily began to actively take.
A moment later.
Natsuki suddenly heard footsteps from behind him. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw Haruno biting her lip, walking quickly towards them.
In fact.
Since Yukino left the cave, this Haruno had already woken up and secretly followed them, but she just hadn't come out until now.
Seeing her sister about to lose her chastity, Haruno finally couldn't hold back and emerged from her hiding place.
Natsuki hadn't had time to explain when Haruno said softly: "Natsuki-kun, Yukino is still a child. Let me take her place?"
Hey, hey, what do you mean by "let me take her place"?
Does she mean she wants to sacrifice her own chastity to make me spare Yukino?
What deep sisterly affection! When something happens, you really step up!
If it were Juju and Shoko, kissing would be acceptable, but if sacrificing chastity was necessary to protect Shoko, Juju probably couldn't do it.
So, the question is.
If I wanted to have a Sisters Rice Bowl, how would you fend me off?
Natsuki twitched his lips, but ultimately didn't say the words.
Yukino was already awake now. If he dared to mention a Sisters Rice Bowl, he would definitely get beaten.
"Sis-sister…"
Yukino managed to control her body, looking at Haruno with shame and anger.
She was already awake now, remembering everything. Facing Haruno's sacrifice, she was ashamed, angry, and anxious, so much so that misty tears welled up in her eyes. Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, the sin of lust once again gained the upper hand, causing her to involuntarily kiss him.
Seeing this, Haruno bit her lip, squatted down in front of Natsuki, clearly mistaking Yukino's teary eyes as a plea for help.
This boy, as a psychic, couldn't be resisted by force. If they angered him, both sisters would be brutally treated.
So, for her sister, she could only sacrifice herself.
"Haruno, you really misunderstood…"
Seeing Haruno reach out her hand, Natsuki quickly began to explain.
"Clatter."
Before he could finish speaking, the box in Natsuki's pocket suddenly fell out.
It was the trash that his daughter had found on the beach yesterday.
This thing wasn't a game item and couldn't be put into the game backpack, so Natsuki had kept it in his pocket, but he didn't expect it to fall out now.
Haruno bit her lip tightly and bent down to pick up the box: "Thank you, Natsuki-kun…"
"Hmm?"
"Thank you for taking precautions…"
