ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
“….-l”
“Hm?”
“…El.”
Someone… Is calling my name?
“Hey…! El! Wake up! Here! This is your favorite boobs!”
Is that… Tia?
Guided by her voice, I opened my eyes and there, I saw mountains of boobs as far as my eyes could see. Boobs, boobs, boobs everywhere.
Is this the land of dreams?!
Then, as if it had been waiting for me to wake up, one of the boobs mountains erupted. Milk spurted out from the boobs and from behind the mountains, a dark shadow was looming! The dark shadow jumped, spinning in the air and landed right in front of me. The dark shadow looked like a demon, donned only in red loincloth with the words “Boobs for Life” written in bold black letters. And then…
“Will you become a follower of Boobs Church?”
The dark shadow asked with a broad smile. I took a closer look at its face and then… I realized… I knew that face. A familiar looking face…
“What-?! Your Majesty?!”
***
“Was that… A dream?”
I murmured to myself while still shrouded in pitch darkness. Then, I felt something pressing against me, making it hard for me to breathe. But this something felt soft. I was surrounded by something soft and warm.
I reached my hand out to move the soft thing away.
Squeeze~
What is this… This feeling…
Curious, I kept kneading and squeezing the mysterious soft thing.
Squeeze, squeeze, knead, knead.
“Nngh…”
A voice?!
Panicking, I tried to move my body away and there, I saw a tanned woman lying exhausted on the sandy beach. It was the women that had fought against Miinya.
“Now I remember… The ship was swaying heavily… At first, I thought it was just normal turbulence because of the waves, but then the ship suddenly tilted sideward….”
Although I couldn’t remember anything past that, but after I scanned my surroundings, I came to a conclusion.
“Most probably… The ship sank.”
There were pieces of wood here and there that I assumed must had belonged to the ship. But still… We were really lucky to be able to survive the crash. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say this was a miracle.
That being said, I could tell that this woman had did her best in helping me as could be seen from how tightly she was holding me. Well, maybe this was also the reason why I had a dream where I was surrounded by mountains of boobs. After all, my head was tightly buried between her soft cleavage.
Huh? Then the thing I touched? That firm and soft sensation?! The thing that felt good to massage was…?!
Wait, what the heck am I saying?!
I couldn’t possibly move her from here with this body of mine. I tried to check her breathing. Her breathing seemed steady enough. For now, I decided to wait for her to wake up.
I hope she will wake up soon…
***
Judging from the position of the sun, it should be around midday.
“Ugh… Mmnh…”
She stirred and then, her eyes slowly opened.
“You’re awake?”
“Ah… Yes…”
“The ship we were on… It sank, right?”
According to what I heard from her, the ship did sink. Just before everything was swallowed by the waves, she held onto me desperately and jumped into the sea. She then managed to grab onto floating debris from the ship. The next thing she knew, we somehow got washed ashore to this island.
The heck? It was literally a narrow escape from death!! We really almost died back then!
We then explored the island while talking about the things that had happened. This uninhabited island reminded me of Warabi Kojima, an island located northeast of Kuga Island, part of Goto Islands in Nagasaki prefecture. Warabi Kojima was around 0.03 square kilometers big. It was known as Japan’s smallest inhabited island. I remembered hearing on TV that you could walk from one end to the other end in just five minutes.
There were no other islands or anything around. I could only see the endless blue sea as far as my eyes could see. Wait, I felt like I had said this before… Anyway, since there were only me and her on this uninhabited island, we had to cooperate with each other in order to survive.
“By the way… What’s your name?”
“Come to think of it, I haven’t introduced myself, have I? Well, not like I have a name to introduce myself with.”
“No name to introduce myself with?”
“Yeah~ I was abandoned as a child. I was picked up by someone belonging to the shadow of a certain royal family. I was taught various things by that person, but… I don’t remember that person ever giving me a name. I was always referred to by a number.”
“Then… How about if I call you Marin from now on?”
“Huh…?”
Was that too brazen of me? Or maybe that name was too simple? But…
“I mean, I know the shipwreck is not your fault but with this, the mission is a failure, right? If you fail the mission, that means you need to be punished, right? And the punishment is usually a death sentence, right?”
“Well, I guess you’re right.”
“Then why don’t you just consider yourself as dead and start living your life as Marin from now on? That’s right. How about if you serve under me instead?”
“You’re… A weird one. Besides, my specialty is assassination. I’m not good at anything else. Are you sure about this?”
“Yeah, I’m sure.”
“….What a quick answer.”
“I mean, of course?!”
“Are you… Naturally talented at flirting with girls?”
“The heck?! I don’t have that kind of talent!”
“Then… Nice to meet you, El. I’ll be in your care?”
“Nice to meet you too, Marin!”
And so, today marked the start of my survival life on an uninhabited island with Marin.

“So? What are we going to do?”
“Hm….?”
“A man and a woman alone on this island. Are we supposed to, like… Make babies or something?”
“Make babies?! I can’t do that yet!”
“But… There’s even a song about it, right? From behind the shadow of a quiet deserted island~♪ You can hear the voices of a man and a woman~♪ Oh no~♡ Noo~♡ Right there~ ♡Right there~♡”
“Isn’t that a parody song?! Besides, they’re totally doing it, aren’t they?! Why does a song like that even exist?! What a mystery!”
Upon hearing that, Marin grinned slyly.
….What’s up with that smile?
“Ooh~ No wonder people call you a genius. You even know how to make babies, huh? Impressive!”
“No, that was just-“
“By the way~ I’m a virgin, you know?~♡”
There was absolutely no need to whisper that into my ear, okay?!
“You know~ I’m always ready to make babies~”
This girl… She’s been teasing me for a while now! Is she a teasing master? Like Takagi-san?!
Her relentless teasing made me think like that.
“Ahem… Okay, let’s get our minds back from the gutter. We need to think assess our current situation-“
“You’re trying to change the subject, huh?”
“… What are you good at, Marin?”
“Hmm~ Um… Assassination and night duties?”
“That’s not what I meant! Can you start a fire?”
“Ooh! I’m good at that!”
“There! First… Right. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Discovery Channel, it is that securing water sources is our top most priority. Without water, people can’t survive… Hehe… Don’t underestimate the power of youtube!”
“I don’t understand what you mean by that Dis-something and youtube, but since El is here, I feel like we can survive somehow.”
Well, yeah. I don’t think there’s youtube or anything close to that in this world. Bear Grylls and Ed Stafford are the best! I’ve watched their videos so many times!
“I would’ve felt hopeless if I was alone, so I’m glad you’re here with me, Marin… Come to think of it, I haven’t thanked you yet. Thank you, Marin, for helping me.”
“The-There’s no need to make a big deal out of it… You don’t need to thank me or even bow your head at me like that!”
Marin blushed and scratched her cheek awkwardly in response. She looked really cute when she acted like that. Upon talking with her, she really looked like a normal girl. Maybe it was a good thing that the ship sank since now me and Marlin weren’t enemies anymore.
“Alright… Let’s start our life here by finding a water source!”
“Roger!”
The two of us then started searching for a water source together. This island consisted of a small forest surrounded by sandy beaches. We made our way from the beach into the forest.
“Come to think of it… What about the knife you had?”
I remembered she was fighting with two knives when she fought with Miinya.
“Of course, I don’t have them with me anymore.”
Well, I guess that was to be expected. Carrying two knives along with a 5 year old boy like me through the sea must be hard. It wouldn’t be good if she had many things weighing her down.
And so, soon after that, we found what we were looking for. We found a source of spring water in the forest.
“…I can hear the sound of water from over there.”
We headed toward the direction that Marin pointed and true enough, there was a source of spring water there. Marin’s keen eyes truly saved our lives. Without any hesitation, Marin scooped up the spring water with her hands and-
“Wait-! Marin! I think we shouldn’t drink it right away!”
“Wh-Why? What should we do then?”
“Let’s boil it first just to be safe.”
The water was gushing out from the ground, so it should be safe, but at times like this, it was better to be safe than sorry. If by any chance we were infected with bacteria, it would be the end of us.
“…Boil it?”
“Well, to put it simply, we need to heat the water over a fire until it becomes hot and bubbles up. We can kill off any bacteria in the water like that. Oh, right! Maybe it’s better if we make a simple filtration device too! We will need soil, leaves and charcoal for it… As for our water container… Maybe we can use a tree bark from the tree… No, maybe we should look for bamboo instead? Bamboo will be great for a water container. And then-“
“Too much! There’s too much to do!”
“I mean, it can’t be helped, you know? Better be safe than sorry after all. We don’t know when help will come and in the worst case scenario, we might need to make a raft and row our way out of this island ourselves….”
“…Are you really a five years old boy?”
“Well, obviously1 How old do I look to you?!”
Well, my actual age was not 5, but still… I was glad I liked to watch those kinds of videos.
“Alright then. Marin, you handle the fire and I will start looking around to see if there’s something we can use as containers.”
“Roger that!”
That’s right! Everyone, watching survival videos is important just in case something happens! As someone who got stranded on an uninhabited island, I really recommend watching survival videos when you can! Remember the general rule of thumb! Secure water source first!
