Chapter 73: My selfishness

Beta Reader: My_Own_Worst_NPC

=============================================================

Why is it that our bodies always feel heavy whenever we get out of the water? I know that’s because our body suddenly loses its buoyancy, but still, the tiredness that comes with it always exceeds my expectation.

I climbed into the shade of the tarp that the Gokus had set up for me and collapsed into a tangled mess on top of the blanket.

Somehow, Sierra is laying on my right as if it’s the most natural thing in the world, while Rouge happily lay on my left. I felt like Miina was trying to say something, but I’m to sleepy to hear it; her voice feels like it’s coming from a faraway place.

The only thing that I could hear now is the sound of waves, splashing onto the beach. Until eventually it fades away as I drifted to slumber.

——————————————————————————————————————-

I’ve been awake since awhile ago.

Even though I’ve woke up, my body still feels sluggish. I’m too lazy even to look at the clock to check what time is it now, so I only move my eyelids and listen to the sound of the waves. I wonder if it’s already noon. I couldn’t see it, but I think the sun is high in the sky. I’m also hungry now.

My body feels a bit numb, so I turned over my body a little. It turned out that Sierra, Cecily, Rouge, and Mina were also sleeping under the tarp, buck naked.

…what a nice view…

…

The atmosphere is really peaceful. As if this island has unravelled our hearts and made us connect with each other. Right in front of me Rouge was sleeping, and I can see her big breasts slipped to the side. As five of us lay motionless there, a thought crossed my mind that maybe we can all live here happily ever after together.

As I was absentmindedly observing the freckles on Rouge’s face, her eyes opened, perhaps because she feels that I was observing her.

“What is it?”

“Nothing. I only thought that you look beautiful.”

It’s true though. Her braided pigtails, the freckles around her nose, her firm nipples, everything about her looked beautiful.

“This is the first time a man has ever said something like that to me… As I thought, Shirou-san, you’re unlike any other man.”

Back on Earth, it probably the equivalent of a woman telling a man that he’s beautiful. The opposite might be true here, but it’s not something a man would ever experience so I wouldn’t know.

“Yeah, maybe you’re right.”

Rouge reached out her hand and her finger gently touched my arm.

“Do you want to suck on them?”

Is she talking about her breasts, I wonder. I was tempted to do so, but I didn’t want to make a move just yet, so I just smile with a vague expression on my face. I felt like that was the most honest attitude to my feelings.

“Here, I’ll let you suck on it…”

*WHAM!*

Sierra hits Rouge, who was about to move closer to me, hard in the head.

“Itt hurttssss!! Goddamnit!”

“Don’t you dare try to steal a march on me.”

“Geez! No need to get so worked up just because your chest is small…” [1]

“What’s that? You brat, do you have a death wish or something?”

Sierra and Rouge were having a catfight while being naked.

“Okami-san, it’s dangerous here so let’s evacuate over there with me! Let’s have a love escapade!”

“Miina, how dare you! I’m the one who’s going to take Shirou with me.”

Everyone was in high spirits that I couldn’t help but laughed in amusement. It’s amazing how they are still so energetic even after playing so long in the ocean. As expected from adventurers who are proud of their physical strength; they’re trained differently from the likes of me.

“Alright, should we have some lunch now?”

The four of them fixed their gazes on me as I stood up with determination. Uwah, such intensity…

“Elder brother…”

“Shirou-san, the beautiful one here is not me, but you. Not to mention erotic too!”

“Okami-san, you’re the most beautiful!”

“Shirou, I think it’s better for you to wear something now…”

Because of the nap, I’m feeling all energetic now.

“Goku, we’re preparing lunch now. All of you, help us too, okay?”

 After that, we grilled the food we had brought with us over charcoal. We ate and drank, and when it got hot, we went into the water.

We spent the whole time naked, but thanks to the magic bracelets Sierra gave us, we didn’t get sunburned, which is very convenient.

—————————————————————————————————————————

In the end, we spent the rest of the day playing until sunset and didn’t do any exploration on the island.

“Are you fine like this without exploring the island?” Cecily, who was very serious as usual, was worried, but it’s not like it’s an urgent thing to do.

“It’s fine, since I also wanted to relax a little. Or maybe you need to explore the dungeon again soon, Cecily?”

“No… Truth be told, I don’t mind doing like we did today. I even think it’d be nice if all of us can live here for the rest of our lives.”

What a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing too.

“I also feel the same. However, it’s hard to live far away from a society, isn’t it?

“I guess…”

I think the reason why it’s so fun today is because it’s not something we do every day. For example, if Monte Chris were still devoid of people, I think I would have move away from it at some point in time. In fact, at the beginning I was planning to leave the island once my creation magic had reached sufficient level.

To put it into perspective, let’s take Cecily’s breast as an example; if I were to see it every day I’m sure I’ll be less appreciative of it. And the thing Rouge said about me being erotic? I’m sure she’ll grew tired of it quickly once we start doing it every day.

“However, I want to stay here for maybe another two, or maybe three days. Is that fine with you?” I looked up at Cecily.

“I-It’s fine. You should do what you want to do, Shirou, I’ll keep you company no matter how long you want to be here.”

“Thank you.”

I then give Cecily a kiss on her cheek. And I made use of her flustered state lightly touch her breast. It might be a lame effort, but it was the best I can come up with.

Ah… it feels so soft… I’m so glad to have been born.

—————————————————————————————————————————–

I decided to sleep early since I want to explore the island tomorrow.

Am I going to do it with everyone, you ask? No, there’s no way I’m going to do it. Principally, I disagree with the concept of multiple people doing it together… Well, it might be fine with me, but I’m sure the ladies won’t like it, right? 

Because, you know, if we were to compare it to back on Earth, I can imagine it like me doing a girl together with my co-workers. It would be like me doing it simultaneously with Katsuragi, Yoshida, and Kinoshita. Let me ask you, would you want to see your male co-workers’ nude bodies together?

Nah, no way, impossible, like hell I would want to!

I, for one, definitely wouldn’t want to see such hellish scene! I’m sure some people might have such fetish, but in the end it’s just another sexual fantasy category in porn or erotic manga.

If I were put in such situation, I’d instantly lose my boner and just go home. I would get depressed and traumatized if I see Kinoshita’s or the other’s butthole. He’s a nice guy, by the way, but his fart really stinks.

Also, I’m a bit concerned of contracting some diseases., so I just quietly comforted myself and went to bed.

By the way, my favourite fantasy story for porn is harem play. Yeah, I know I just said that I won’t do a harem play with them, but it’s okay if it’s only in my imagination. Yes, I’m perfectly aware that I’m being selfish!

—————————————————————————————————————————–

It was another hot tropical night on the island, but the portable air conditioner-like tool that I made with my magic tools production is proving useful.

It consumes excessive number of magic stones, but it’s fine since I’m earning enough at the inn; I’m making enough money to keep up my comfortable living environment.

Also, my level has increased again.

＃＃＃＃

Others

＃＃＃＃

The number of items that can be made had increased due to the significant growth in the amount of MP available. Also, the level of [Repair] has risen remarkably. This is largely due to the fact that it can be used in parallel with the creation magic and does not take much time, and parts of that is because I do maintenance on the golems every day.

On the other hand, I have not been able to create any new golem models since Nyoro. I think it’s about time that I have access to new type of golem, but the Monte Chris Island is saturated with golems already, so I haven’t made any new ones, which is also the reason why my Golem Production level are not increasing anymore.

Or maybe I should produce new Iwaos for this Western Island? If I order the golems to make some infrastructure here, and then visit the island once in a while to give instruction to them, I’m sure this island would become more livable for me.

Afterall, the atmosphere here is very relaxing compared to Monte Chris Island. Maybe it’s because there’s too few men there, and so I subconsciously feel anxious since I always feel like someone is watching over me.

No matter how much I want to be looked upon, it becomes tiring quickly.

I should set up an environment where I can feel at home here on a regular basis. It’s even better if I can sometime visit this island together with a woman I like… Actually, I think I can bring few of them at the same time.

Would they be fine with it, I wonder. I’m fine with it, though, as long as I’m still the only guy here on this Western Island.

Yep. Like I thought, I’m really a selfish person…

===================================================================

1 I sometime wonder, if having a small breast to a girl is like having a small dick to a guy or not…
