落とし穴42堀:夏だ!! 海だ!! (Part1)
Pitfall 42: It’s Summer! It’s the Ocean!
Yes, it is August 25th, 12:24 PM.
Currently, we are right in the middle of a typhoon’s storm zone.
And in the midst of that, I bring you: the swimsuit episode.
Well, please use your imagination and enjoy the swimsuits.
It’s summer! It’s the ocean!
Side: Yuki
The summer sun beats down on the ground without mercy.
Although we are in another world now, the region where Weed is located seems to have four seasons, so this heat is just another part of the cycle.
It’s been two years and a few months since I arrived in this world.
While I can’t say I have much spare time, as someone who used to live in Japan on Earth, there was something I absolutely had to do.
I performed the Obon grave visits in my first year, and we held a fireworks display just recently.
Having done two such iconic things, it would be impossible for me not to do this one as well. Well, if I didn’t have the Dungeon Creation skill, this would have been something I’d have had to give up on.
But if it can be done, it must be done.
Yes, that is...
*Swish...*
The sound of waves receding and returning.
Spreading out before me are shades of azure and indigo.
A horizon that stretches on forever—well, it’s a fake, but it’s a horizon nonetheless.
In other words...
"It’s the ocea—n!"
I couldn’t help but shout it out.
For the past few years, I never had the time to go to the beach for work, and for those who work, summer vacation simply doesn’t exist.
Chasing after the daily grind just to make ends meet, I used to convince myself that summer beaches were just crowded and exhausting. I’d watch the news about beach openings on TV and think, from the comfort of my air-conditioned room, that staying home was the right choice.
But if someone were to ask me, "Don't you want to go to the ocean?" the answer would be no.
I only didn't go because I had reasons not to. If I were free of worries and had no concerns, I would want to go play.
After all, summer means the ocean, right?
When I was a kid, I used to inflate my swim ring the day before, waiting impatiently for the next day to arrive.
I’d pile into a car with my best friends, cheering all the way. Once we reached the beach, we’d leave the preparations to our parents and race each other by swimming to the island floating offshore.
When I got a little older and went with just my friends, we’d ignore the swimsuit reveals of our friends' girlfriends, jump into the water to race, and get scolded together when we came back up.
After that, we’d skin-dive for seafood, go fishing, build space fortresses in the sand, smash watermelons with sticks, have a bonfire... maybe "countless" is an exaggeration, but we definitely played a lot.
That’s why I made it.
Using my Dungeon Creation skill to its fullest, I created a white sandy beach, a clear sky, and a blue ocean!
This place is a special floor of the dungeon. I made it specifically for this purpose. Or rather, my heart was screaming at me to make it.
"...What are you shouting about? Wait, this is amazing."
"Haa... I understand now why you insisted on this, Master."
"Ho-ho. This mimics a beautiful coastline quite well, doesn't it?"
Those voices came from behind me.
I turned around to see my wives, dressed differently than usual, holding our children and looking on in surprise at what was likely their first sight of the ocean.
"Different than usual" naturally means they were in swimsuits.
First is Seraria. She’s wearing a white triangle bikini that she pulls off with style.
Since giving birth, her chest has grown quite a bit—going from peach-sized to a size that overflows from one's hands—and the white bikini seems to be struggling to keep it all contained. She’s wearing a pareo on the bottom, revealing her bare legs from time to time.
Next is Rurua. She’s also in a bikini, but it’s a black halter-neck type that ties behind her neck. The exposure isn't as high as a triangle bikini, but given Rurua’s overwhelming bust volume, it’s quite a sight to behold. Actually, I’m surprised Rurua chose this type.
And then, Deryu. She’s wearing what’s called a micro-bikini, a type with very little fabric, and Deryu is wearing it without a hint of shame. The color is blue. Deryu has a fantastic figure, so it suits her perfectly. Well, if we weren't married, the level of exposure would be enough to make me lean forward in anticipation.
Wait, hold on.
My daughters are more important than my wives' swimsuits.
"It’s great to be surprised, but the sun is pretty strong. Let the kids see it for a bit, then take them back to the cottage immediately."
That’s right, all three of them are holding my daughters.
They are only about three months old.
I’m worried about keeping them out in this scorching heat for too long.
"Oh, you're right. Sakura, look, it's the ocean. Isn't it amazing?"
"Sumire-chan, it's the ocean. Papa prepared this for us. Isn't it wonderful?"
"Yuyu, this is the ocean. It might be different from the real thing, but it should be a good experience for you."
"Kya, kya!"
All three daughters were wiggling their bodies while looking at the ocean, so I suppose they were happy enough.
"Yoo-hoo, Yuki-san! Hey, hey, look at this swimsuit. How is it?"
"Riel, wait up!"
"...It's hot. Can I go back to the cottage with Schans?"
"Kaya, let's try a little harder. Big Brother is here, too. And it's not happening that we go back without letting Schans see the ocean."
The next wives to appear were Riel, Tori, Kaya, and Ratz.
My, they were all wearing swimsuits that showed off their sporty figures perfectly.
"Oh, it suits you all."
"Hehe. Wow, this is the ocean, huh?"
"Whoa..."
"I'm surprised. Is all of this water?"
"Well, if it's the ocean, it's salt water, so don't drink it, okay?"
Now, starting with Riel. For some reason, Riel is wearing a competitive swimsuit. Yeah, it shows off her body lines as much as humanly possible. Her chest isn't large, but that doesn't detract from her femininity; if anything, her toned body is somewhat exciting, isn't it? It’s a swimsuit that fits Riel perfectly in a way. She looks like she’d be incredibly fast in the water.
Next is Tori. She’s wearing a bandeau bikini—in simple terms, a tube top that wraps around her chest to cover it. The color is based on white, matching Tori’s hair. The bottom is a pant-style, which is also very "Tori." It gives off an active impression that’s refreshing to look at.
