Just the Three of Us on a Deserted Island…? 2

“Meow…meow”

The white cat slowly approached Sakuto and rubbed its body against his leg. It seemed to have taken a liking to him, and when he crouched down to stretch out his hand to its head, it showed no signs of fleeing.

However, suddenly, the cat pushed Sakuto’s hand away with its forehead and then hopped away, creating some distance between them.

“What’s wrong?”

“Meow”

The white cat started to enter the bushes but stopped halfway to look back and meo, then continued on only to look back again and meow.

“…Are you telling me to follow you?”

Half in doubt, Sakuto followed the white cat’s lead and walked in that direction.

“This place is…”

After walking through the mountain for a while, Sakuto stopped.

The place the white cat had led him to was in front of the island’s torii gate, beyond which was a small shrine. The cat stood in front of it and began to leisurely groom itself, lifting one leg.

“Why did you bring me here?”

The white cat continued to lick its inner thigh, offering no response.

However, it seemed to be a favorite spot for the white cat.

With no other option, Sakuto approached the shrine.

It was only about as tall as Sakuto’s chest. The shrine was made of stone.

A sacred rope appeared to be decorated on it, but due to exposure to the wind and rain, it had fallen to the ground.

At that moment, Sakuto remembered something his aunt Mitsumi had told him.

Mitsumi wasn’t particularly devout, just like Sakuto, but she believed that if something was fallen or broken, it was better to fix it rather than ignore it—

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Sakuto walked past the white cat, picked up the sacred rope that had fallen in front of the shrine, and reattached it to its original place, hanging it on a nail on the beam.

Then he pulled out the weeds around the shrine, making it look a bit more presentable.

“—There, that’s better…”

It looked somewhat better than before.

Then the white cat, purring, rubbed its body against Sakuto’s leg. Perhaps it was showing gratitude for tidying up its favorite spot.

While he was at it, he performed a quick Shinto prayer: two bows, two claps, and one final bow.

After finishing the prayer, he addressed the cat sitting beside him.

“Well then, I’m heading back.”

“Meow”

“Eh? You’re not coming?”

“Meow”

The white cat seemed to really like the spot as it started grooming itself again.

“We’re going to head back soon, you know? I’ll leave you behind?”

Even as Sakuto spoke, the white cat continued grooming itself.

When Sakuto returned, Hikari and Chikage were waiting for him by the parasol.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Where did you go?”

“Just a little exploration.”

“I would have liked to join you…”

“Sorry about that. Anyway, isn’t it about time we head back?”

As they checked the time, Hikari mentioned she wanted to swim one last time.

So, the three of them went swimming, but Sakuto felt the sea breeze gradually getting stronger.

“Hikari, let’s head back soon!”

“Got it!”

Hikari, who had gone a bit further out to sea, dove into the water with a splash.

That’s when it happened—

The current seemed to change suddenly, and the waves grew stronger without warning.

Sakuto, who was about to get out of the water, looked towards Hikari in alarm.

Hikari—her face emerged from the sea.

But then, a large wave surged from behind, chasing after Hikari.

“Eh? Wait—”

“Ah…!? Hikari!”

A wave crashed over Hikari’s head.

Sakuto witnessed a scene as if a large hand was pulling her out to sea, and then he remembered—

『Don’t let the elder sister go to the island—the elder sister will be taken by the sea—』

The old lady’s voice echoed in Sakuto’s mind.

“Eh? Hii-chan…!?”

Chikage, who had gone ahead, turned around just in time to see Sakuto already diving into the sea in search of Hikari.

The waves were high, but she couldn’t have gone far—

Sakuto, searching underwater, panicked as he couldn’t find Hikari and soon had to surface, gasping for air.

“Hikari! Where are you?!”

Sakuto shouted—then from the surface of the water,

“Puhah! Geez, I got water in my ear—”

Hikari resurfaced, and Sakuto felt a wave of relief.

“Thank goodness… Hikari, let’s get back quickly.”

So, Sakuto pulled Hikari, and they finally made it back to where the water was waist-deep—

“Hii-chan…!?”

Chikage was trembling, pointing at Hikari with a panic that was far from normal.

Sakuto hurriedly turned towards Hikari.

“What’s wrong, Hika…!? —Sorry!”

“Eh? What’s wrong with both of you…aaaah—!?”

Sakuto involuntarily grimaced and turned his face away too late.

—That’s right.

It wasn’t that something had happened; it was that something that should have been there was missing.

Hikari’s bikini top.

Hikari, her face turning bright red, clutched at her chest and crouched in the water.

“Was it because of that wave just now!? Sakuto, did you see!? You saw it, didn’t you!?”

Hikari’s unusual panic was all the more because Sakuto was the one involved.

Sakuto couldn’t forget what he had once seen.

He can’t forget, not even for a moment, especially something embarrassing—especially now, Hikari’s breasts, that memory was unforgettable.

“…Rather than saying I saw it, it was visible…”

“────────────…!?”

Hikari turned a shade of red that seemed to scream in embarrassment.

However, Sakuto felt a sense of relief in his heart, thinking that perhaps it was for the better.

Recalling past events, there were times when she had hugged him in her underwear.

Sakuto felt a strange sense of reassurance that she could show such an embarrassed reaction, even if it was just a little.

—And so.

What had been swept away was not the elder sister but the bikini top she had been wearing.
