I Was Stranded on a Deserted Island with a Beautiful Classmate - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Do What You want…it’s Fine

I took a short nap and…woke up.

It looks like everyone else is still asleep. I checked the time; it was five in the morning. Two hours have passed since then.

The cave remained shrouded in darkness.

The faint sound of dripping water echoed.

There didn’t seem to be any danger, but…just in case, I decided to check the surroundings.

I stood up, turned on my headlamp, and carefully walked around so as not to wake anyone.

Hmm…there’s a fork up ahead.

There was a split path that one could crawl through on either side. I hope neither is a trap.

“Maybe I’ll take a peek…wait, which way is it?”

That map had some faint, strange markings on it. If those markings were meant to show the inside of the cave…yeah, there was something like a skull mark on the left side. If that’s the case, then it must be a trap.

I took a chance and went with the “right” path, which felt like the correct choice.

I cautiously crawled forward. It was so pitch black that I couldn’t see ahead, but it seemed to lead somewhere.

Eventually.

I arrived at a spacious cavern.

I thought darkness awaited me, but instead, I found a world sparkling like jewels. What…what is this? This area is unusually bright.

Could this be luminous moss…Hikarigoke?

It glowed emerald green…it was mysterious.

As I gazed in awe, I sensed someone behind me.

“Hey, Hayasaka-kun. So this is where you were.”

“…Amane! You’re awake?”

“I saw you heading off somewhere, so…”

“What, you were awake? You could’ve just called out to me.”

“Sorry, sorry…but hey.”

Blushing, Amane fidgeted a bit, looking down.

“W-what is it?”

“…We’re alone now, right? So…do you…want to?”

“Huh!?”

“Now’s our only chance, right? While everyone’s asleep.”

So…does she mean that? Amane is inviting me. I can’t believe she, of all people, would…to have someone like Amane, the ultimate idol, invite me.

“Are you…sure? In a place like this, deep in a cave?”

“D-don’t make a girl say it more than this.”

Seeing Amane trembling, I made up my mind.

I slowly reached out and embraced her. She was small and smelled nice. Her hair was smooth and fine, almost like a work of art.

“Tell me one thing, Amane.”

“Yeah?”

“Why did you fall for someone like me? There are plenty of other good guys out there.”

“No, there aren’t. There aren’t many guys who are this cool, who make my heart race, and who are so much fun to be with. That’s why, Hayasaka-kun, you’re special.”

To think she felt that way…

As I held her close, I stole a kiss.

Amane seemed a bit surprised, but she didn’t resist. She accepted me, even shedding a few tears.

Our kiss grew more intense.

It was the first time I’d had such a passionate, deep kiss.

Unable to hold back my excitement, I started to touch her.

“…Amane.”

“Do…whatever you want…it’s okay.”

Hearing those sweet, melting words, I lost control of myself.

I slowly undressed her until she was in her underwear.

“You’re beautiful, Amane.”

“U-uh…this is embarrassing.”

As she tried to cover herself with her arms, I gently held her arms.

With care, I reached for her last bit of clothing and slowly, gently removed it.

From that moment on, I was lost in the moment.

We were passionately drawn to each other, sometimes with tenderness.

I took Amane’s first, and she, in turn, took mine.

We were so happy that we lost track of time, continuing to love each other, over and over.

＊ ＊ ＊

“…Hayasaka-kun…you didn’t have to go that hard all of a sudden. I didn’t expect it to be that intense.”

Amane glared at me with an adorable, pouty face, looking cute even as she was angry.

“My bad, my bad. But Amane, you were pretty bold yourself.”

“Well, it…it felt really good.”

Amane’s face turned red as if steam was coming out of it. She was so cute, I wanted to go at it again.

I didn’t realize how much fun “adult” activities could be.

Today, I climbed the “stairway to adulthood” in a cave thought to hold Captain Kidd’s treasure. What a place to experience that.

Maybe I found something more valuable than treasure.

Yeah, it’s definitely worth more.

Amane is far more precious than any treasure.

Even if there’s no treasure, as long as I have Amane, that’s enough.

While holding her in my arms, we suddenly heard a noise from deeper in the cave.

“…Wait, shoot. Did we go too far?”

“Wait, someone’s coming!”

As we hurriedly scrambled, someone appeared from deeper inside.

Oh no…!

Chapter 76: Creating Memories with Everyone

Dragging a pickaxe along, the figure stared coldly at Amane.

“…So you snuck away, did you, Amane?”

“K-Kitakami! This is, um…”

“I never expected to find you two embracing each other…so cruel.”

Her voice was laced with both anger and resentment. …This is bad; her eyes look lifeless, and both Amane and I might get killed here.

Then, I—

“Wait, Kitakami.”

“Tetsu, I see you chose Amane over me…”

“Well, I…that’s…”

“But it’s alright.”

“Huh?”

“I don’t care about order. I’ll never give up, and if someone steals away the person I love…I’ll take him back.”

Kitakami’s lips twisted into a smirk as she raised her pickaxe. No way…!

The look in Kitakami’s eyes was serious.

She really means to kill both Amane and me with that pickaxe. If I don’t do something, the treasure will be the least of my worries!

“Amane…if it comes down to it, run.”

“I can’t! There’s no way I’d just run and leave you here…”

“She’s only after you. Please, I’m begging you.”

“…But…”

Kitakami approached, and soon she was right in front of us. This is bad; we’re going to get killed…!

“Tetsu, you don’t have to be so defensive.”

“…Huh?”

“I won’t kill you. But Amane? She’s a different story.”

“Don’t kill her, Kitakami. She’s a friend.”

“If that’s what you want, then fine…however, I won’t give up my spot as your lover. So let’s make love right here.”

I was struck speechless by her unexpected proposal.

Kitakami…what are you even saying!?

“L-Lover!?”

“Yes. I don’t care what it takes, as long as I can stay by your side, Tetsu.”

She’s…fine with that?

I mean, she’s being oddly understanding—but I doubt Amane would agree with this.

“Amane…what do you want to do?”

“Haah…Well, I guess I have no choice. I don’t want to die, and I did jump the line with you…”

I tilted my head, trying to understand what she meant, but the answer became clear right away.

“Actually, I made a deal with Amane.”

“What kind of deal?”

“I promised to let Amane have the title of ‘girlfriend’ if she allowed me to be your ‘lover’.”

“What!?”

What kind of arrangement is that? And is this even legal in Japan?!

“Oh, of course, marriage isn’t part of the plan. If it ever comes to that, we’ll just move to a country that allows polygamy.”

“That’s pretty optimistic thinking…”

I clutched my head in disbelief.

But if we find the treasure, then maybe living overseas wouldn’t be so far-fetched. Multiple wives…sounds like a dream come true for a man.

I thought she was going to kill us, but it was for this reason all along.

Still, she’s got that intense look…a bit misleading, to say the least!

“Well, I did feel a little like killing Amane…But I’ll forgive her.”

“Seriously? Are you for real?”

“Yes. But on one condition: you have to make love to me too.”

That’s…quite the condition.

And right now, I’m in a complete state of post-high-power clarity. There’s no way I have the energy to take care of Kitakami.

“I’m sorry…there’s nothing left in me.”

“Then I’ll make you feel alive again.”

Kitakami started undressing.

Wait, wait, there’s no way this will…<GYUUUUUN!!!!!> –!!!

…I ended up responding.

Against my will, I was fully alive again.

“Damn, Kitakami…your body is incredible…”

“…Good. Then we can finally make love.”

She held me, and there was no escaping now.

Amane stood beside us, stunned, and I had no choice but to go through with it.

* * *

About twenty minutes later—

—I had ended up doing it with Kitakami as well.

I don’t mean to boast, but I didn’t think I had this much stamina.

But if it keeps both of them happy, I suppose that’s good enough.

“Phew…”

As I wiped my sweat, I sensed someone approaching from the direction of the tunnel. …Hmm? Maybe Ooi and the others are heading this way.

“…There you are! We found you, Tetsu—wait, what is THIS?!”

Ooi and the others stared, dumbfounded, at Amane, Kitakami, and me. Their faces turned beet-red, and they flailed in shock.

“T-Tetsu…what are you doing?!”

“T-This is, well…Kotobuki!”

“Hey, don’t leave me out!!”

“Wait, what…?!”

Just as I stood there in shock, Ooi spoke up.

“Yeah, like Kotobuki said. Why didn’t you include us?”

“What?! Whaaat?! No way…?!”

“Look, Tetsu, every girl who’s been connected to you feels a deep bond. Everyone who knows you feels the same way. We’re all in love with you!”

—I hadn’t realized.

I had no idea…!!

So that’s how it was…I was that popular? I never noticed until they told me.

So there was no need to hold back.

I’d always tried to act like a gentleman.

But all along, they had wanted me, too.

“…Don’t forget me, Tetsu.”

“Kusamochi, too?”

“Yeah. That’s alright, right?”

After that, I ended up taking care of all of them……No, I’m going to die like this!

* * *

“…Ah, I’m exhausted.”

Who would’ve thought I’d end up making memories with all the girls here in the cave?

Thanks to them, my whole body’s sore.

After taking a short rest, it’s about time to go look for the treasure.

“Tetsu, enough lying around, let’s get going.”

“It’s all your fault, Amane! You all drained me dry; I’m totally worn out.”

“A-Ahaha…sorry about that. We did push you a bit.”

“By the way, Amane…are you really okay with how things turned out?”

“Well…it’s a bit complicated if I’m honest. By the way…who was the best?”

Amane, are you really asking that?

But if I had to choose…

“O-Of course, it’s you, Amane.”

“Oh…good, I guess.”

Now that it’s come to this, I’ve got to take responsibility. I’ll find that treasure and secure our happiness together. There’s no other choice!
