Comic strip: Survival on a deserted island, surrounded by heroines

She stared at the sea in silence for a few seconds, then narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had remembered something.

"and many more!!"

Upon hearing this, Qingshan looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That sunken ship!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her chin and gestured towards a certain direction on the sea: "When we came here before, wasn't there a shipwreck over there?"

Aoyama looked in the direction she indicated, and stopped what he was doing.

The sea was empty.

There was nothing standing on the sea in that area; it just shimmered in the sunlight.

“…”

No, I have such a big ship!

It was still there yesterday!

Aoyama took two steps forward, his gaze lingering on the empty sea for a long while.

"The shipwreck is indeed gone."

The ship was a massive steel vessel, sixty or seventy meters long, tilted at a thirty-degree angle and embedded in the seabed.

They have vanished without a trace.

"How is that possible?"

Aoyama's gaze narrowed slightly, and his all-seeing ability instantly unfolded, carefully scanning every inch of the sea surface.

No debris, no floating wood chips, no oil stains, nothing at all...

Shawu cautiously approached from behind, standing on tiptoe to look at the sea, a layer of confusion and tension appearing in her eyes:

"That ship...is gone?"

"It's gone."

Kasumigaoka's voice came from the side, the last syllable slightly tense: "I came here with Aoyama-kun before, when it was still here."

"When Aoyama-kun came yesterday, it hadn't disappeared yet."

Her gaze swept back and forth across the empty sea twice, her brows furrowing slightly.

“Aoyama-kun, we both know the size of that ship.”

Aoyama nodded seriously.

A steel ship with a length of sixty or seventy meters should not have disappeared so completely, even if it were torn apart by a storm.

"Could it be that it was dragged down by something?"

Shawu's voice trembled slightly, and she subconsciously took half a step back.

She thought of the giant deep-sea creatures in horror movies...

Looking at the calm ocean now, Izumi Sagiri got goosebumps.

"No...don't scare yourself!"

Aoyama withdrew his gaze, his tone remaining calm, but his eyes were sharper than before.

"We cannot rule out that possibility."

Snow Mother withdrew her gaze from the empty sea, stepped forward, and stood beside Green Mountain.

"Aoyama-kun, what do you think it could be?"

Qingshan shook his head: "It's hard to say."

"My understanding of this sea area is not deep enough."

"But judging from the size of that ship, anything that could move the entire ship must be quite large."

He paused here, then turned to face them, his eyes fixed on their faces.

"However, the fact that the shipwreck is gone may not necessarily be a bad thing for us."

"Why?" Saguru looked up, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Those people up there will die, and the smell of blood might attract some large marine creatures to gather nearby."

Aoyama felt that the creatures in this world were diverse, strange and wonderful.

It cannot be ruled out that there are large sea monsters that can smell blood.

He shouldered the mountain and gestured with his chin toward the sea: "Now that it's gone, at least we don't have to worry about what might be hidden beneath that area anymore."

"That's true."

"As expected of Aoyama-kun, he can always find a good angle for everything." Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her arms from her arms and smiled.

"Let's go that way."

Aoyama took the lead and walked along the edge of the beach towards the bay he had previously chosen.

"The base is not far ahead, about a ten-minute walk."

The sand beneath your feet is warm and soft under the sunlight, leaving clear footprints when you step on it.

The sea breeze blows, carrying a salty smell and a slightly cool touch, ruffling everyone's hair and clothes.

"Whoosh—!"

Izumi Sagiri took a few steps, then couldn't help but turn back and glance at the sea again.

The vast, empty sea appeared incredibly still under the sunlight, looking no different from any other ocean.

At that moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice came from the front.

"Sagiri, you're gone."

The small bay chosen by the green hills was even more beautiful than I had imagined.

The crescent-shaped coastline narrows inward, with the rock walls on both sides acting like natural arms, embracing this vast expanse of land.

The rock face is covered with lush vines, a mix of deep green and emerald green, with tiny white flowers blooming in some places, swaying gently in the sea breeze.

The water in the bay is as clear as glass, and you can see the smooth pebbles on the bottom and the occasional small fish swimming by.

"This is it."

Qingshan gently placed the small mountain he had been carrying on his shoulder onto the ground beside him.

He looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

"It could be turned into a tourist attraction and charged a hefty fee."

Snow Mother walked up from behind and stood next to Green Mountain.

The sea breeze caressed her face, blowing a few strands of hair that hung down beside her ears.

She took a deep breath, her full breasts rising and falling slightly, her voice filled with undisguised joy.

"This place...is really beautiful."

She turned her head to look at the green mountains, her gentle eyes reflecting the sky and the sea, like a pool of flowing blue.

“Aoyama-kun, the place you found is much better than I imagined.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha strolled over from behind at a leisurely pace, leaned gently against a large rock, and carefully surveyed the bay.

A hint of surprise flashed in his red eyes, then he curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a half-smile.

"A wide view, backed by a rock wall with a natural barrier, and fresh water nearby... Not bad, Aoyama-kun."

"I thought you were going to find a cave and stuff us in there."

Qingshan didn't even look back, and unloaded the supplies one by one.

"You're unlikely to be able to live in a cave, but I can."

"Yes, it's warm and humid."

"Qingshan, you'd better be talking about a cave..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked her tongue, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

It's all that bastard Aoyama's fault. When we got together, he kept saying weird things in her ear.

This has resulted in her having some unnecessary knowledge in her mind.

"This is a very good location."

Yukino walked up from behind, holding the long sword in her hand, her gaze calmly sweeping across the entire bay.

Those usually cool, black eyes narrowed slightly in the sunlight, as if touched by the scenery.

"Brother Qingshan...this place is really beautiful."

The entire bay was reflected in Izumi Sagiri's blue eyes, and the joy on her fair face was impossible to hide.

After unloading the supplies, Qingshan patted the sand off his hands and glanced around at the clearing between the sand and the rock wall.

"I plan to build a simple wooden house here temporarily to shelter from the wind and rain."

He pointed to the relatively flat open space in front of the rock face.

"The terrain there is higher, so it won't be affected by the tide."

"There is a rock wall behind to block the wind, and there are also natural barriers on the left and right sides."

"First, we'll build the framework, cover the roof with large leaves and bark, and assemble the walls with wooden planks. We'll expand it gradually later."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to them.

"You can share any ideas you have. Your opinions are very important regarding how the building should be constructed so that we can all live together."

Snow Mother tilted her head slightly, her gaze lingering on the open space for a moment, as if sketching the outline of the house in her mind.

“Mr. Aoyama, if you are going to live by the sea for a long time, I think the foundation of the house needs to be raised a little.”

She stretched out her hand and gestured that it was about half a meter high.

"The humidity is higher by the sea than in the forest, and the ground is more prone to dampness."

"If you raise the floor a little and leave gaps underneath for ventilation, it can prevent moisture and insects from crawling in."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, the tides might be higher during the rainy season, and raising them a bit would be safer."

Aoyama listened and nodded thoughtfully.

“That makes sense, then let’s raise the foundation.”

"Drive thick wooden stakes into the ground, then lay planks on top, leaving space underneath for ventilation."

Seeing that he had adopted her opinion, Xue's mother smiled gently.

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head and thought for a while, then held up one finger.

“I suggest adding more windows on the side facing the sea.”

Qingshan asked curiously, "Why?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally shrugged: "Because the scenery is beautiful."

"You can see the sunrise when you open the window in the morning, and hear the sound of the waves when you lie in bed at night."

"Sitting by the window on a rainy day, watching the sea being shattered by raindrops... don't you think that kind of life is romantic?"

As she spoke, her red pupils narrowed slightly, her gaze sweeping over the green mountains and landing on the azure sea, as if she were already imagining those scenes.

If you were to 'do' it facing the sea, it would probably be a different experience, right?

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Aoyama without making a sound.

"Consider it... a reward for Aoyama-kun's dedication."

She looked away, a mischievous smile playing on her lips: "It's good to open the windows more often, so that some people don't overdo it at night and the house doesn't smell like that the next day."

Aoyama: "....."
