落とし穴４２堀：夏だ！！ 海だ！！ (Part3)
That conversation reminds me of our younger days.
And their outfits are exactly what we used to wear back then.
Aslin, Firia, Labyris, and Shera are all wearing school swimsuits.
Naturally, their class and name are pinned to their chests.
However, because Labyris and Shera are quite well-endowed for their age, their name tags are stretched and distorted.
Ah, Aslin and Firia are as flat as boards. Well, that’s to be expected.
Then there’s Kirue, acting as the chaperone, wearing a sleek, black one-piece swimsuit. It’s a style that suits her perfectly. She has a great figure, so it should be alluring, but perhaps due to her ironclad maid training, she radiates an aura of service rather than sex appeal.
Hm, come to think of it, where’s Kirue’s daughter, Shael?
"Hey, Kirue. Where’s Shael?"
"Oh, my apologies. She was fast asleep, and I couldn't bear to wake her."
"I see. That can't be helped. No need to force her up. But will she be alright on her own?"
"Yes, I’ll be returning shortly, and Kuro-chan and the others are keeping watch, so I’ll know immediately if anything happens."
"I see. I’m sure the others will be back soon too, so I’m counting on you."
"Yes. Leave it to me."
"But make sure you trade off with someone else and enjoy the beach. Let’s play together."
"……Yes. With pleasure."
She stumbled over her words for a second, but she replied with a happy expression.
Well, I’m always pushing the behind-the-scenes work onto Kirue. It’s only right she gets to act like a wife for once.
"So, what about the other two?"
That’s right, two more.
The two who recently joined the family haven't arrived yet.
As I looked around, past Aslin and the others doing their warm-ups, I peered toward the cottage and saw Cleena pulling someone—presumably Samantha—by the hand.
"……Samantha. Don't be so stubborn. Just come out."
"B-but, won't you be disillusioned if you see me like this!? I don't have the majestic presence of Seraria-sama, nor the ample chest of Rurua-sama."
"……I’ll take that as a declaration of war against me. I’m flat-chested."
I could hear their conversation as they approached.
I see. They got intimidated after seeing the other wives' figures.
Before I could even call out to them, an impatient Cleena used wind magic to toss Samantha outside.
"Eek!? Since when could you use wind magic!? I thought you were a fire user, Cleena-san!?"
"……It was easy enough once Yuki taught me. Besides, Yuki didn't marry us for our bodies. There are many reasons, but the biggest one is that he felt he could love us for who we are. There’s no need to be afraid of something like that. Right, Yuki?"
"Eh? Y-Yuki-sama!?"
Cleena must have noticed me; she spoke without looking my way, and upon hearing her words, Samantha spotted me, hid her body in embarrassment, and teared up.
Honestly, Samantha has the second-best figure among them; I don't think she has anything to be ashamed of.
"Cleena’s right. It wasn't for your bodies. I chose to be with you all because I wanted to live my life alongside Samantha, Cleena, and the others. Or did you think I was the type of guy to treat my wives differently based on their looks?"
"N-no! Never that!!"
"Then there’s no need to hide. You’re plenty attractive, cute, and beautiful. Let’s enjoy ourselves."
"……Yes. Yes!! Ugh, I’m such a lucky woman."
At those words, Samantha nodded repeatedly, crying as she stood up.
Personally, my heart is shredded from saying such cheesy lines, but for my wives, it’s a necessary sacrifice.
……It suddenly occurred to me, isn't Samantha’s reaction the most similar to people from Earth’s Japan?
She’s modest, or perhaps just shy. The wives around me are all such carnivores.
"Hm. Now that Samantha is standing, how are our swimsuits, Yuki?"
Cleena asked, demanding an evaluation of their attire.
Samantha, though still shy, stood tall without hiding herself, trusting in what I had just said.
I suppose I have no choice but to give an answer……
Starting with Samantha.
If I leave her for last, she might start crying again.
Samantha is wearing a monokini similar to Jessica’s, which beautifully emphasizes a chest that rivals Rurua’s, surpassing even Jessica’s. It’s white, a nice contrast to Jessica’s. Samantha never skips her self-discipline, so her body is toned. From every angle, she is a beautiful girl.
"As expected of you, Samantha. You weren't kidding about training. You have a beautiful figure, and the swimsuit suits you perfectly."
"Th-thank you very much!!"
……Though, how does that drill-like hair work even here? I should ask Sasari about it later……
"Oh, I’m the one who always styles Milady’s hair."
"Whoa!"
Sasari suddenly appeared from behind.
She’s wearing a swimsuit too—a white one-piece, perhaps because she shares the same tastes as a maid. Sasari’s chest is a bit on the smaller side, but she’s such a beauty that it doesn't matter at all. However, just like Kirue, she radiates an aura of service; I doubt ordinary people would dare approach her.
"Hm? Is something wrong? No, if it’s an order, I’ll open my legs, but..."
"No, I’m not going to say anything like that."
"As expected of Yuki-sama. Anyway, never mind me; please cherish Kirue-senpai. I’ll take care of the children."
Yeah. She’s not as stiff as Kirue, but she’s always keeping an eye on everything.
I’m truly grateful for that.
"Thank you. But Sasari, make sure you take some time for yourself, too."
"……Yes. Thank you. For a second, I thought it might be nice to be pinned down, but I suppose being too perfect isn't good. I’ll find someone worth... training. No, someone worth raising."
……She definitely meant to say "training," didn't she? May the future husband of Sasari have mercy.
"Hm. Yuki, what about me?"
And the biggest problem is this one, Cleena.
"……What was the reason for choosing that swimsuit?"
"I learned from Eris-shishou. I thought it would be appropriate to show off a woman’s allure, be able to swim, and seduce you, Yuki."
That’s right, Cleena’s swimsuit is a white V-string.
Since she’s flat-chested, she can't stretch the fabric tight, so her chest is visible from the sides.
……Well, if you ask me if it suits her, it does.
Red hair, white skin, and the way she’s desperately wearing that swimsuit on her petite frame—it has a certain charm in many ways.
But, I can't shake the feeling that something is just… off.
Anyway, since Eris has been teaching her all sorts of things like a little sister, I’ll have to have a word with her later.
"I think you’re plenty beautiful."
"Hm. That makes me happy. I’ll wear it tonight, too. This time, I’ll be the one to make you faint, Yuki."
……We’ve been intimate at night, but Cleena always ends up falling asleep first.
Since she’s aiming to be like Eris, it seems she intends to do it even if I end up fainting.
"Well, we’ll see when the time comes. For now, let’s go play in the ocean."
"Hm. Understood. It’s my first time at the beach, I’m looking forward to it."
"Yes. I only saw it when I was very young, so I’m excited too."
I took their hands, did some warm-ups, and joined everyone else playing in the sea.
Alright, let’s play with everything we’ve got!!
The Holy Sword users? Negotiations with other countries? The magic circle for mana accumulation?
Those things can wait.
This summer only happens once.
It’s not like the world will change in a day or two!!
Well, I have taken precautions just in case, though.
How was it?
Also, these swimsuits are different from the ones in the women's bath scene.
Everyone is going to play with all their might after this.
Whether I write about that or not depends on my mood.
Setting that aside, has everyone been to the beach?
I haven't gone this year.
I usually go sea fishing, though.
There’s nothing like casting a line into the vast ocean and just relaxing.
