6 Main Heroines Who Absolutely Want to Monopolize Me - Volume 2 Chapter 3.2

The Island, His Shirt, and Her

It seems that everyone’s dates have resumed due to some notification.

“Really! I don’t feel the tingling sensation when I’m close to Shin anymore!”

“It’s strange. It seems you’ve been close several times.”

“Of course, I went. The tingling sensation is quite addictive…”

“You’re not a pervert, are you?”

“What about Ria and Sakiho in this case?”

“If they can’t physically participate, they will be in a state of neither participating nor not participating until they can join.”

“What does that mean?”

Maon tilted her head.

“In other words, they can’t participate even if a ‘Fate Selection’ is sent out now, but on the other hand, they won’t be eliminated either. They will participate from the point where they join the island later.”

“I see. So, when will we arrive at that island?”

“It’s already visible, over there.”

“Really!?”

Yuu leaned over the railing to get as close as possible to the island Juujo-san was pointing to.

“Wow! It feels like a deserted island! It’s amazing!”

“It’s strange. Where does it look like that?”

“Look, there’s a high cliff over there where the culprit is likely to confess…”

“Ahaha, be careful not to fall into the sea when you lean out so much.”

After watching the reactions of the three of them, Juujo-san took over the conversation with a “Well then.”

“We will give a brief explanation of the island while we wait for our arrival.”

“Is that okay!? Thank you!”

Yuu thanked her honestly. What a good guy.

Juujo-san took out a tablet device from somewhere, and a topographic map of the island was displayed on it.

“The island we are heading to is called Rogata Island. As the name suggests, the island looks exactly like the kanji “呂” when viewed from above.”

“I see…?”

I could see it when she said it, but it wasn’t quite right.

There was a small island on the north side and a large island on the south side, with a suspension bridge connecting the two. However, the “呂” character has a single line in the middle, but the suspension bridge connects the eastern tips of the islands, resulting in a slightly unbalanced shape.

I didn’t mention it out loud because I thought Yuu would say something like “You’re so picky…”, and I didn’t feel like that was the point.

“The northern area is called North Island, and the southern area is called South Island.”

“Ahaha, it’s just like the name.”

“South Island is an area for enjoying leisure activities. You can stay there, but you’ll have to sleep in a tent. In contrast, North Island has luxurious cottages like a resort area.”

“Leisure? Cottage?”

Maon frowned.

“It’s strange, is there electricity on the uninhabited island?”

“Yes. It’s an amusement uninhabited island designed with the idea of VIPs renting out the entire island to stay. It’s also used for filming dramas and movies.”

“Heh…”

The way the wealthy spend their leisure time is unthinkable…

“Also, the waters between South Island and North Island are inhabited by sharks, so swimming is extremely dangerous. Please refrain from swimming”

“”Sharks…!””

Maon shuddered in horror, while Yuu’s eyes sparkled as they both said the same thing.

Soon, the ship slowed down and eventually docked at a place that looked like a harbor.

“We’ve arrived at Rogata Island.”

As we disembarked the ship,

“Shin-chan! Shin-ichi…!”

Ria and Sakiho came running towards us from the other side.

Both of them had faces that seemed to be seeking help. Sakiho looked like she was having difficulty breathing. Is she okay?

As I was thinking about that,

“Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi…!”

“Hey, Sakiho…!”

With a desperate look on her face, she sped up without slowing down. Hey, I just got off the ship and I’m on the edge of the harbor, right!?

“Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi…!”

“Sakiho, stop, please, if this continues… uwaah!?”

Deciding that it was dangerous as it was, I pushed Sakiho straight away.

As a result, I,

“Ahh…”

Sighed in resignation and fell back into the sea.

“Shin-ichi, Shin-ichi, thank you, I’m sorry…!”

As I crawled up onto the beach, Sakiho, still excited (?), hugged me and rubbed her head and cheeks against my chest.

“Ahaha, I don’t even know what this is a thank you and apology for anymore.”

“Hey, Sakiho. I’m soaked, so Sakiho’s gonna get wet too…”

“It’s incomprehensible. The cause was Sakiho-san. I think Onii-chan is too soft on Sakiho-san.”

As I let out an exasperated voice, Maon puffed up her cheeks beside me.

“Why is Maon mad?”

“Ahaha, there it is, Hirakawa’s dense light novel protagonist move.”

“Huh? Maon, is that what it’s about?”

“I don’t know.”

Maon turned away with a huff.

She seemed to be adorably jealous, but still, Maon would say things like, “Could it possibly be that Manon likes Onii-chan?”

Ignoring our conversation entirely, Sakiho, who was now getting a bit too excited, kept muttering, “Shin-ichi, guff, Shin-ichi component, charge…”

“Hmph.”

Then, for some reason, Yū suddenly made a puzzled face.

In front of me, confused by the girls’ unpredictable reactions,

“Shinichi-kun♡”

Ria bent forward, and I averted my eyes from the thick chest area visible beneath her thin clothing.

“Sakiho-chan, you had it tough, didn’t you?♡ Last night, you panicked, huh? I thought you were going to die from breathing difficulties♡ If Rii hadn’t given you first aid, I wonder what would’ve happened…♡”

“First aid? That’s amazing, Ria. You can do something like that?”

“Yes, I can! Praise me more♡”

“No, no, Shinichi. There’s no need to praise Meguro Ria, okay…?”

From my chest, Sakiho whispered in a gloomy, sullen voice.

“Full name…”

The only person Sakiho was supposed to call by their full name was “Ōsaki Sumire.”

So, this means that Ria has become a target of Sakiho’s hatred…

“What happened between you two…?”

“The fact that you don’t ask, ‘What did Ria do to Sakiho?’ is what I love about you, Shin-ichi♡”

At that moment, everyone’s smartwatches, including mine, made a “Piro-rin♪” notification sound.

It was the administration’s “Fate Selection.”
