The beast tamer exiled from the hero’s party and the cat eared girl from the strongest race meet
"Blue sky!"
"White clouds!"
Kanade and Tania sharply pointed up at the sky.
"Shining sun!"
"Scorching sandy beach!"
Sora and Luna shouted excitedly.
"The seaーーー!!!"
Finally, everyone else beamed with their brightest smiles.
"Everyone’s so energetic."
"You’re smiling too, Rain, you know?"
"Ahaha."
Pointed that out by Suzu, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Everyone’s excitement was high, but…
truth be told, my own heart was just as thrilled.
It’s my first time playing at the sea.
I’m so excited that I can’t help but smile…
to be honest, I could hardly sleep last night.
"By the way, Rain."
"Yes?"
"What do you think of my swimsuit?"
"Uh…"
As if to show it off, Suzu stepped closer.
It was a cute swimsuit with frills.
There’s no way you’d think she’s a mother.
"I think you look very beautiful."
"Oh my, my. Hehe, thank you."
"Nyaa!? Mom is trying to seduce Rain!"
"Hey, Rain! Look at my swimsuit too!"
Everyone rushed over all at once,
each showing off their swimsuits.
Kanade, Tania, and Tina were wearing bikinis.
They were a bit bold, but they suited them perfectly, bringing out their charm to the fullest.
Sora and Luna wore simple one-piece swimsuits.
Nina, Rifa, and Finia also wore one-pieces, but theirs had lots of frills, making them look cute.
Their smiles looked even brighter because of them—it was really nice.
Rezona, Elfin, and Nokia wore types with pareos.
The pareos added a nice accent, giving off a mature allure.
And then the problem was…
Iris and Al.
"Hehe. Rain-sama, your face is red—did something happen?"
"Are you embarrassed? How innocent."
The two of them were wearing bold…
or rather, rather revealing swimsuits.
It felt like something that shouldn’t be seen might end up visible,
and I couldn’t look at them directly.
I instinctively looked away, but that reaction seemed irresistible to them,
and Iris and Al smiled like little devils.
"I went through the trouble of picking this swimsuit just for you, Rain-sama. Please, take a good look."
"I also put in some effort. Come now, no need to hold back."
"N-no, that’s…"
"Hehe."
"Kufufu."
"You two…"
"What do you think you’re doingーーー!!!"
A combined attack from Kanade, Tania, Sora, and Luna.
Iris and Al were thrown straight into the sea.
"Unyaa… Iris, the moment you take your eyes off her, she starts trying to charm Rain!"
"You should know we won’t allow that!"
"My, my… everyone’s so extreme. I only tried to appeal a little."
Even though she looked like she’d been thrown quite hard, Iris seemed completely unfazed.
"Mother, please learn some modesty!"
"That swimsuit is out! At your age, it’s absolutely out!"
"Muu, you’d say that much? I’m hurt…"
"That’s out too!!"
Al was being scolded by Sora and Luna.
Or rather… was it more like jealousy?
"Being popular is tough, huh?"
"…Please don’t tease me."
I let out a sigh at Rezona’s teasing grin.
――――――――――
After that little commotion…
we pulled ourselves together and decided to play in the sea.
"Oh."
As I stepped into the water, the cool sea wrapped around my feet.
It was cold, but refreshing.
And the feeling of the waves brushing against me was pleasant too.
"So this is the sea…"
"It’s your first time at the sea, right, Rain?"
Making splashing sounds, Kanade came over.
"Yeah. I’ve heard about it, but this is my first time actually playing in it."
"In that case…"
"We and my sister will teach you how to enjoy the sea!"
"I feel like my lines are getting stolen more often lately!?"
Sora and Luna appeared and suddenly splashed water at me.
"H-hey, what are you doing?"
"This is how you play—by splashing water."
"Fuhahaha! Take my splash!"
"Uwah, wahp—"
Water splashed all over me.
But… it was fun.
I don’t really know why, but it just naturally makes me smile.
"Alright, then here’s my counterattack!"
"Kyaa♪"
When I splashed them back, Sora and Luna let out cheerful little screams.
Seeing that, Kanade looked like she couldn’t hold back anymore…
"I’m joining too!"
"SPLAAASH!!!"
"Ah."
…Note to self:
don’t go overboard with water fights at the sea.
