第１７６６堀：リゾートホテルの屋上といえば (Part1)
Chapter 1766: Speaking of Resort Hotel Rooftops
Speaking of resort hotel rooftops.
Side: Shera
"This is truly incredible..."
Those are the only words that can escape my lips. And that is even with the knowledge of Earth’s architectural techniques I’ve gained here in Weed. No, it’s not that I wasn't aware such buildings existed on Earth, but I never imagined we would see them realized here in Weed.
Ah, to be precise, this is the Glass Port Town.
"Right? Ratz said she put a lot of effort into this. Even Mikos-chan was shocked when she saw it. I mean, who would have thought we’d actually build it?"
Beside me, Mikos, who is holding a camera for promotional purposes, is also voicing her surprise and admiration at the sight unfolding before us. The scene is, quite frankly, absurd. After all...
"I’m still surprised you actually decided to build a rooftop pool."
"Well, there’s a bath right next to it, too. I’m sure it’ll be refreshing to soak in both. Plus, considering safety, there really isn’t a better option."
Yes, just as Seraria-san and Ratz-san said, what lies before us is a rooftop pool, with an indoor bath and a bathing area just beyond the wall. The reason, as Ratz-san mentioned, is safety. We are expecting VIPs, after all. These luxurious rooftop facilities are reserved exclusively for them. Of course, we’ve prepared similar amenities for the general public as well—not on the roof, but about halfway up the building.
After all, monsters do appear in the sea. While Weed is doing everything in its power to ensure the ocean’s safety, we built these facilities inside the resort hotel because it’s always good to have a place where people can relax without a single worry.
"I just hope the ocean doesn't end up completely deserted."
"We’ve thought about that, too. We’re planning things like fireworks, or using monsters to create waves for surfing. You can only get that specific feeling of the ocean by actually being in it, after all."
"That certainly is a unique selling point. My father and sisters were saying how they couldn't wait to swim in the sea."
I can only offer a wry smile as I recall my father and sisters, who are so looking forward to the ocean. I hope they’ll be satisfied with this rooftop pool, though I suspect they won’t be. Seraria-san and Ratz-san seem to realize this too, and they offer matching wry smiles...
"It really gives me a headache thinking about VIPs going into the ocean, but I suppose stopping them is impossible, isn't it?"
"Impossible indeed. After all, the whole selling point of Glass Port Town is that we’ve made the ocean accessible. It would be counterproductive to keep them away from it."
"I just hope we don't end up held responsible if some idiots drown or eat themselves into a stupor."
"As for the drowning, we’ll leave that to the monsters deployed in the sea. As for the overeating, there’s nothing we can do but let it happen. The doctors and recovery mages accompanying them... well, that’s a lost cause."
"Recovery mages handle external wounds and internal damage; they can’t really do much about someone just eating too much."
Exactly as they say, while we can manage the drowning, overeating is truly beyond our control. It’s not life-threatening, so it’s hard to stop, and it usually resolves itself with time. Oh, and I have no idea about them getting fat. Occasionally, a young lady who visits Weed will complain that she’s gained weight, but I just smile and keep the records as proof of their gluttony rather than discarding them. They are, after all, fools who can’t even manage their own bodies—not even fit to be ornaments.
Naturally, we maintain the magnificent figures that suit Yuki-san’s tastes. ...Well, occasionally we might gain a little from overeating, but we adjust accordingly, so it’s perfectly fine.
"Now then, how is the actual environment? Hey, everyone who’s swimming, gather 'round."
At Seraria-san’s call, the members who came for the current status inspection gather.
"What is it?"
"Did something happen?"
"Phew, it’s not bad."
Hiiro, Jessica, and Dressa climb out of the pool. Hiiro is wearing a cute one-piece swimsuit, Jessica-san is in a red bikini that doesn't bother hiding her magnificent chest—which rivals even Rurua-san’s—and Dressa is in a white tube-top style. They are each wearing different swimsuits, partly due to their own tastes, but also because we instructed them to. After all...
"Yep. No problems here."
"Indeed."
"Mm. The swimsuit doesn't slip."
Eris-san, Samantha-san, and Cleena-san, who climbed out after the others, are wearing "V-front" swimsuits—a style that boasts as much exposure as humanly possible. Well, we did say they were free to choose, but I didn't expect them to go that far. Still, they wear them with confidence. I could wear one too, but I don’t have the impressive bust that Eris-san or Samantha-san have, so I feel like I’d have a wardrobe malfunction. As for Cleena-san, her chest did get larger after having a child, but since she was flat-chested before, she’s only reached the size of small hills, so her chest is quite visible. Well, we only wear these in places where only our inner circle is present, so it’s not a problem.
"I see. I’m glad there were no injuries."
"Indeed. If there are no troubles with those swimsuits, then there’s no issue."
The two of them decide not to comment on the swimsuits and just let it slide. They know that if they did, the answer would inevitably be that it’s for Yuki-san’s sake. And that wouldn't be a lie. Yuki-san gets excited by provocative swimsuits, so it’s a benefit for us as well. Of course, he gets excited just by the fact that we’re wearing swimsuits, so unless it’s a special occasion, we don’t usually wear things that extreme. In the case of these three, they are being blatant because they want to excite Yuki-san. In other words...
"It’s a perfectly adequate pool. There’s no need to swim with that much intensity anyway."
Yes, Yuki-san is here too. Well, naturally. After all, Yuki-san is the lord of Glass Port Town. It’s only expected that he would confirm the completion of this hotel. And surrounding him, as always, are his guards and assistants...
"It’s fun, isn't it, Canaria?"
"Yes, it’s my first time, so I’m surprised, but it is fun."
"It really is astonishing to have a pool and a bath in such a high place."
"Well, this kind of luxury is fine once in a while."
It’s Ria-san, Canaria-san, Fiora-san, and Deryu-san. Ria-san and Canaria-san run a bento shop in this town. I suppose they’re about ready to stand on their own two feet? By the way, both are wearing modest bikini-style swimsuits. As for Fiora-san and Deryu-san, they are wearing athletic swimsuits that look tight and toned. Well, Fiora-san is flatter-chested than I am, so there’s that, but Deryu-san is quite well-endowed, so even a sports swimsuit pushes everything up.
And the most surprising thing is...
"I mean, why on earth did Eris and the others recommend these swimsuits to the likes of Prof and the others..."
