Swimsuit Showcase
Since the girls needed time to change and prepare, I decided to head to the private beach ahead of them.
"Whoa, this is incredible."
Dressed in swim trunks, I stepped onto what could only be described as a tropical paradise.
A pristine white beach stretched before me, meeting the crystal-clear blue ocean.
Seagulls (?) soared overhead, and the occasional sea breeze was refreshingly pleasant.
"It would be a waste to just vacation here. I could live in a place like this."
"It truly is a magnificent environment."
"Right? —Wait, huh?"
Turning to the side, I suddenly noticed Lucina standing right next to me.
"W-Why are you here, Lucina?"
"Didn't I declare that I would always remain by your side?"
"Well, yeah, but… aren't you supposed to be getting ready?"
"There’s no issue."
No issue? There was a huge issue.
Despite being at the beach, Lucina was still dressed in her usual maid uniform.
"You're not going to change into a swimsuit?"
"No."
"Did you at least bring one?"
"I did."
"Then this is an order—change into it immediately."
"Understood."
Without hesitation, Lucina started removing her maid uniform right then and there.
For a brief moment, I panicked, but it turned out she had already been wearing her swimsuit underneath.
A mix of relief and slight disappointment escaped me in the form of a sigh.
As for her swimsuit… it was a competitive-style one-piece.
At first, I felt a little let down, but upon closer inspection, I realized how snugly it clung to her body…
This had its own appeal.
"… Lake? Lucina is actually in a swimsuit, isn’t she?"
"Really…"
"!? C-Connie!? Claire too!?"
Before I knew it, Connie and Claire had snuck up behind me.
And their outfits—wow.
First, Connie.
She was wearing a bikini that fully emphasized her well-proportioned figure.
With the largest chest among the girls, her swimsuit seemed designed to accentuate that fact.
Had she chosen this style intentionally?
If so, she certainly knew how to capture a man’s attention.
Or… had someone coached her on this?
Next, Claire.
She wore a frilly one-piece, an adorable and elegant choice.
Honestly, I had the hardest time predicting what kind of swimsuit she would pick, but… I see. That makes sense.
"You both look amazing—like angels gracing the beach."
"L-Lake…"
"T-That’s way too much praise…"
My completely sincere words made both of them blush and avert their gazes.
Ahaha, with this, I had completely won the moment.
—Or so I thought, until the final boss appeared.
"My, everyone is quite early."
From the back, Student Council President Tricia made her grand entrance.
She, too, wore a bikini like Connie’s… but wasn’t the fabric coverage way too small?
"A-Amazing…"
"So… bold…"
Even Connie and Claire were utterly captivated.
It seemed that even from a female perspective, Tricia’s figure was impossible to ignore.
Her presence had a gravitational pull that demanded attention.
I, too, found myself unable to look away.
At this point, it was practically a law of physics.
"Oh my, staring so intently like that is making me blush."
Lies!
She absolutely came here intending to show off!
And to prove it, she was slowly closing the distance between us!
"T-That’s enough! Let’s swim, Lake!"
"Y-Yeah, let’s go!"
"H-Hey, wait a moment!"
Sensing the danger, Connie and Claire each grabbed one of my arms and dragged me toward the ocean.
In the process, their chests pressed firmly against my arms…
But pointing that out would be tactless.
I'll just go along with it.
That’s what any decent guy would do.
