Chapter 10 – Swimsuit Event (Predictable and Unavoidable)
Today’s weather is sunny.
Our cruise, Queen’s Watch, was moored in front of the dimension gate leading to the second recreation port.
The Dimension Gate is a man-made float with a black semicircle that appeared on the sea. A personal watercraft is parked by being tied to that man-made float. A toll booth was also set up on the float, with a staff member holding a magic device to give permission for any ship to pass.
The huge black circle that swallowed the Queen’s Watch had a total length of 310 m and a height of 58 m (above the surface of the sea), and continued to rotate slowly. At the same time, an out-of-place looking large console fitted in the circle made sounds of whirring while emitting pale light.
Yes, this dimension gate is also classified as a constructor magic device. However, its use is limited to one thing, that is to let people go back and forth between the Other World and Reality. And the principle of this dimension gate was the Other World’s ritual.
Not only in Alfheim, the residents of the Other World can also perform a special ritual to open the “Gate” and come to Japan. This dimension gate, which has a 99.9992% chance of a successful transfer, was made with that Other World’s ritual as the principle. There is almost no possibility of encountering a transferring accident, and even if an accident did occur, it will immediately be detected and the one involved in that accident will be picked up right away (the setting stated that there were actually some deaths due to transferring accidents in the past).
However, this dimension gate wasn’t an 『Anywhere Door』 where you can open anywhere and go anywhere. The Other World and Reality are closely linked, and it has been decided that this coordinate of the real world will definitely arrive at this coordinate of the other world. In addition, since the Other world and Reality are in the condition of unstably overlapping with each other, the dimensional gate can only be operated in a highly stable place.
Basically, you can only go back and forth between the Other World and Reality through this dimension gate. Therefore, we have no choice but to take this transfer method, which is troublesome to apply for permission… It even takes a certain amount of time just to check our passport. But well, since the second recreation port exists in the Other World, this check was unavoidable, and it is also unavoidable that we have to wait for some time.
Then, 『Why don’t we use that spare time to enter the pool?』, a certain elf princess said that and this led to the present.
“…”
I sit on the floor grasping my knees with dead eyes. By the poolside on the deck of the Queen’s Watch, to be precise, on the pool on the Sapphire deck, I hid my presence.
In a huge pool next to a circular jacuzzi…. Some Ojou-sama are playing a game of tag while giggling happily.
“…”
“Kya! Where are you touching!”
“Ahaha! This is just the beginning~! Be prepared~!”
“Kya~! Help me~!”
“…”
Lord, thank you for this daily Yuri scene (pious).
Just like that, while sitting on the floor grasping my knees, I wore an optical camouflage and became transparent.
“…”
For the first time, I succeeded in activating my original magic 『Distortion Field』. It is a magic that makes oneself transparent by covering the whole body with metamaterial optical camouflage to transmit and diffract light.
"
"
This magic is something I came up with by coincidence when I went to the archive and was thinking about the principle of Nil Arrow (I associated the invisible arrow with transparency).
I wasn’t sure if it would succeed, but I was confident because I studied metamaterial seriously just for this reason.
“…”
Yes, this is an original magic that I studied for the sake of fulfilling the dream of all human beings 『Become transparent, become a wall, and watch over Yuri.』.
However, it has not been successful until now.
With how unsuccessful it was before, I even cryingly ran in a riverbed, illuminated by sunset, while shouting “DAMN ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!”, before bursting into tears, and was hugged and comforted by Astemil who didn’t know what happened.
Then, why did I suddenly succeed? The reason is clear.
“…”
That is because right now, I want to reach nothingness… I want to disappear… I want to unite with the earth and watch the fate of the Yuri couple on Mercury and Mars… I want to be one with the floor and observe the group of girls that are giggling happily in front of me…
I lost my concentration, and suddenly the figure of me who sat while grasping my knees appeared on the poolside.
“…”
And then, I disappeared again.
“…”
And then, I suddenly appeared again, in the same sitting position.
“Hey?! Hasn’t that guy been appearing and disappearing since a while ago?!”
“It must be a psychic phenomenon!! Call a ghostbuster, ghostbuster!!”
“It’s like a lamp that is about to run out!! I can feel its ephemeral nature of life before it disappears!!”
A little turmoil broke out and their attention was focused on me– until suddenly, the turmoil subsided, as a shadow appeared to hide me.
“… I have no intention of making my dear brother a show.”
Rei hid my figure by embracing me and stared at the onlookers.
“Please just continue your game.”
The Ojou-sama who enjoyed the unique human lamp hurriedly turned away and went back to giggling happily.
“Onii-sama…?”
With a white shirt that fits on her body, Rei, who wore a bikini under that shirt, smoothed her wet hair. Her beautiful pure black eyes were worriedly staring at me.
Did she wander around the pool just to search for me?
The black hair that ran down her fine skin was wet. Drops of water dripped from the tips of her hair, flowed down to her collarbone and fell to her bountiful chest.
The shirt she wore cannot cover her lower body. I can see her healthy thighs through the gap, and it touches my fingertips every time she moves.
Lord, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me…!!
While asking for salvation from the Lord, I tried to be careful not to look at her chest, which moves up and down as she breathes.
Then, I smiled at the beautiful girl who stared at me at a close distance.
“What’s wrong?”
“Ano, last night…”
“For the time being, can you move a bit…”
“Ah, I-I’m sorry…”
With that, Rei gracefully moved back. She sat in seiza by the pool and moved the fingertips of her hands bashfully.
“A-about last night… ano… do you remember…?”
"
"
“I, alone, slept. Evidence, I have. It’s me. I, alone, slept.1”
“N-no… ano…”
I can not continue this!! I will die!! She is!! Too poisonous for my eyes!!
“Ah…”
Perhaps thinking that I was in a bad mood after she saw me standing up all of a sudden, Rei turned her face down and– I put a bath towel on her head.
“Cover your body with this. It’s still cold. So, you should properly wipe your body first.”
“…Ah,”
Rei, whose face turned red, buried her mouth in the towel she received from me… and looked at me with upturned eyes.
“Thank you… very much…”
Looking at her who stared at me, I grinned.
With this, I managed to cover her captivating swimsuit body. In other words, I managed to crush the swimsuit event. When you’re dealing with a great man like me, I think you should think a little more, oh Love Comedy God. You small fry. Please do not come again, I beg you (appeal).
“H-Hiiro…”
Someone poked me with a fingertip.
When I turned around, there stood Lapis in a bathing suit, with her face flushed and shivering.
She wore a sky blue swimsuit with frills on the chest. Even though she is just standing, everyone looks at her with envy. Her style is just so good that I couldn’t help but think that she wasn’t the same person.
Her pure white skin repels the water, which flows through her sculpture-like feet.
Her whole body then gradually dyed in cherry color, reminding me of the blooming takane no hana. Even the passing Ojou-samas had their jaws dropped, seemingly unable to believe how good her style is.
“… H-how?”
“…”
The skin!! She showed too much of her skin!! It’s dangerous!!
With the gips on my right arm removed, I take off my shirt and put it on her.
“Eh… A-ano, Hiiro…?”
“Wear it. It’s still cold. You should wear a shirt like Rei.”
“Ah… U-un…”
I grinned at Lapis, who was shyly looking away, wearing my shirt that was too large for her.
With this, the captivating swimsuit body is gone (the rest is omitted).
“B-by the way, Hiiro… about last night…”
“Hiiro-kun.”
It was the voice of Tsukiori.
When I turned around, she, who wore a simple shirt, shorts, and a pair of beach sandals, waved her hand to me.
“Morning. Did you sleep well yesterday?”
“… Tsukiori,”
Half-naked, I hold both of Tsukiori’s hands.
“I believed in you (beautiful eyes).”
“What do you mean? Perhaps, you want to see my swimsuit?”
While playing with my fingers, Tsukiori smiled.
“Even though you’ve already seen more than that yesterday?”
At that moment, time froze.
Rei and Lapis cast their eyes downward with their faces turned bright red, while Tsukiori approached me with a smile.
“How did it feel being washed by three girls in the bathroom?”
Hearing that, my vision became hazy.
With just one sentence, my brain was shaken and my body shook, making me unable to stand , and I kneeled on the spot.
“Ha… Ha… Ha, ha, ha…!”
My sweat dripped on the floor.
I-I must have heard mistakenly… i-impossible… y-you are saying that I, who should have been someone who protects Yuri… took a bath with three girls…?! I-impossible… I… I am the elite of Yuri society… Yurite… there is no way I would do something like… that…!!
“It was amazing when we slept together too. I don’t know what you were dreaming, but when I whispered 『Hiiro-kun, Lapis is in danger.』, you immediately went to cover Lapis even when unconscious. And Lapis grinned while shouting 『Kya…!』–”
“Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiottttttttttttttttttt!! Even though you promised you won’t say it!! Even though you promised you won’t say it, Sakura you idiotttttttttttttt!!”
“Anyway, since you won’t resist whatever we do, with this chance, Rei has been making you spoil her by keeping herself in your arms–”
“Please stop, please stop, please stop, please stop!! Didn’t I say that if you say that we won’t be friends anymore?! I said that, right?!”
“… (Light disappears from my eyes)”
Like a radio-controlled car played by a toddler, apparently, I was being toyed by the three last night. To be honest, if I had the memory of last night, I probably wouldn’t be in this world anymore. There is no way I can live with such shame, so I have no choice but to die (indeed).
“… I-I feel a bit unwell, so I’ll take a rest.”
“Un? Are you okay? Shall we sleep together again? (additional attack)”
“Ohagaha!! (Oi oi, stop it. Even if you tried to attack me like that, it’s not effective against a Yurite like me (laugh).”
While staggering, I returned to the ship.
As I walked around the ship looking for a place to rest– I saw a girl standing in an unpopular corridor.
“Sanjou Hiiro-san, right?”
In the dark corridor where I can’t see her face, the girl whispered.
“Ah, that’s right.”
“There is something I want to talk about with you… can you give me some of your time?”
She came from there, huh– I, who knew who the person was without looking at her face, grinned.
“Of course. I will never refuse an invitation from a pretty girl, after all.”
I approached her and over-familiarly hugged her shoulder.
“… tch.”
Hearing the clicking sound, I grinned.
“You sure are cute, exactly my type. Do you have a girlfriend? If you have one, why don’t we go play somewhere together later? How is it? You won’t refuse, right? I am interesting, you know, I will definitely make you two enjoy it.”
“… scum.”
“Eh? What’s wrong? Did you say something?”
“No, nothing. Well then, let’s go to a place where we can talk slowly.”
With that, she and I disappeared into the ship, staying close together.
