The kudzu-yu seemed to have helped.
"So tell me about yourself, Nusaibah! Do you have a boyfriend?"
"That's a good question. Actually, I was cheated on and then dumped."
"Oh, sorry, I asked the wrong question..."
"Yes, Nine lost!"
"Eh?"
"You apologized, so you lost."
"How long have we been playing this!?"
"From now on. If you apologize when you don't need to apologize, you lose. Next time you lose, you get a pin."
"Uuuuuuu.....! It's not fair to play a game where I'm the only one who loses....!"
"If you don't lose until the end, I'll make you a delicious meal."
"Then I'll do my best! Yesterday's porridge was really good, too!"
"You're a real cash cow, aren't you? By the way, there's nothing wrong with the ex-boyfriend thing, so if you want to know anything, go ahead and ask."
"All right! Then I'm going to ask you a lot of questions!"
That day, I just enjoyed talking with him all the more.

The next day, August 19th.
It was a sunny day, but something surprising happened.
"Whoa, wait, are you serious?"
"Yeah, I'm serious. So can I?"
"I don't mind."
"In that case, I hope we'll have a great time today!"
Nine told me that he didn't want to leave.
To be precise, he wanted to experience the life of survival.
he liked that this wasn't a tough game of survival.
"There are shows on TV about exploring uninhabited islands, and if they do well, they can get a stable viewership rating. As a person who wants to survive in the entertainment industry, I thought it would be great if I could enter such programs."
"I think that's a noble gesture, but is there any trauma involved?"
"What trauma?"
"Because you washed up on this island in a filming accident, didn't you?"
he had an accident while trying to film a program about deserted islands.
Apparently, the ship they were traveling on had been capsized.
"Yeah, but it was a traveling accident, so it's not a problem."
"That's true..."
"All right! First of all, teach me how to make a fire!"
"Got it. Let me take out my lighter."
"No!"
We had become friends and could joke around.

August 19 ended without any problems, and it was our last day.
After eating grilled sweetfish we had caught ourselves, we headed to the beach.
My grandfather's old fishing boat was approaching us.
"Oh, yesterday was so interesting! You're amazing, Nusaibah!"
"Is that so?"
"You can make your own fishing rods, dried meat, anything you want!"
"I'm glad you're satisfied."
Grandpa's boat arrives.
"Oh, Nusaibah is...?"
Grandma's eyes fluttered when he saw Nine.
"I'm sorry, Nusaibah, but my eyes seem to have gone crazy. It looks like there's a very handsome standing beside you."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Nine korncid."
Nine takes a bow.
"Wheeheehee! It's a ghost! Nusaibah, there's a ghost! Grandma, can hear the ghost's voice! This is not good, Daikichi!"
"Grandpa, she's not a ghost. And you're eyes haven't gone crazy. he's a real, genuine human being."
"What the-!?"
"Let's just get on the boat. Then we'll talk."
The three of us boarded the boat and headed for the mainland.
"--Yeah, that's about it."
I explained about Nine in a nutshell.
Of course, I don't want to mention that she is an Idol.
"It's your destiny! Did you say you're Nine? You should marry my Nusaibah! Despite her appearance, she's a rather nice girl."
Grandma was very excited.
Nine said, "Yes. I understand!" with a big smile.
"Grandma, please don't take him seriously. She's only trying to make it sound good, alright?"
"I know what I'm doing!"
When the conversation calmed down, the signal on my phone was back.
I also used a mobile battery to recharge the phone.
"You can use this to contact someone."
"Thank you for everything."
Nine is flipping through my phone to contact his agency.
The person he contacted was not the fire department or her family, but the agency she belonged to.
The sight of him makes me realize that he is a celebrity.
"Thank you, Nusaibah. Let me repay you once I get settled in."
"I can't possibly get in touch with you on the mainland. Besides, how are you going to get in touch with me?"
"You can reach me through your phone. I've registered my contact information on it."
"Really?"
When I checked my phone, I saw that Nine's information was indeed registered.
The phone number, email address, and even her LINE.
"Please don't share it with anyone else. That's my private contact information."
"I wouldn't give out your contact information even if it wasn't private. I have good manners."
"I knew Nusaibah would say that."
Soon after, the boat arrived at the mainland.
A group of people, probably arranged by Nine's agency, were waiting for us at the pier.
"Thank you, Nusaibah. I'll never forget what you did on the island."
"I've also enjoyed it."
Nine left in a van with black tinted windows.
My grandma and I were handed a large sum of money from an intimidating black suit with words of thanks.
"Please don't speak to anyone about this. Absolutely no one."
The black suit was emphasizing "Absolutely" a lot.
My grandma and I both shrunk as we felt like we would be killed if we said anything else.
