Chapter 267

I have no energy to do anything. The roasting is done.

Ah....

But I don't want to wake up...

I feel someone approaching me.... Because it's sand, it's hard to tell, but is it Seam?

A small hand rolls me onto my back. It is Seam after all.

He wraps his arms around my back and lifts my upper body.

Seam looks at me, half-worried and half-afraid.

"Aisha, you can't lie down in a place like this."

Seam brushes the sand off me. The sand on my face is carefully brushed away by his fingertips, and the sand in my hair is brushed away too.... The sand on my chest wasn't wiped clean; he must be worried.

"Excuse me..."

What to do when scolded by a child like this... there is a limit to how upset one can be.

As I look around, the gazes of three people are focused on me.

"Hmm..."

As expected, I've gotten used to being looked at.... Yes, once you see something like this, that's it. There is nothing else. Honestly, I want to take it off immediately.... But!

I wipe the sand off my chest, say thank you to Seam, and stand up.

Meleoron is thinking about something, but Uranus is very frustrated. Hmm...

"Why are you so angry?"

"N-nothing..."

"No, it can't be helped if you're trembling. Every time you move, the trembling is transmitted directly into my field of vision. From your perspective, it's quite a large chest size."

"... What are you comparing yourself to?"

The pervert compares my breasts to Uranus's alternately. You completely misjudged your comparison, you bastard.

I cross my arms, the anger surging in my voice.

"Uranus's swimsuit is also very cute!

It suits you very well!!"

"... Um, yes... thank you."

Despite the hesitation, Uranus thanked him. Damn it, damn it! What are you shy about, you cute creature! I'm the only loser! What kind of punishment game is this!

"Uranus is really cute, isn't she?"

"... It's okay."

Seam's unquestioning praise is both cute and annoying. Why is there a difference? Transformation? Is the bust size different?

"Well, though...

Uranus is cute, but Aisha's proportions are truly excellent."

What?... For better or worse, why is Meleoron saying this now?

"What's wrong, it's like I just picked it up...

You look at it when you take a bath usually, right?"

At this, Uranus and Seam seem to shrink back. Sorry, I said too much...

No, this should be obvious, but not like how I'm saying it now.

"Mr. Wonderful, under the scorching sun, you are a young beautiful girl wearing a school swimsuit?

The beach of the eternal summer resort, an open situation.

This is different from the nakedness you see in the bathtub—"

"Meleoron!!"

This guy's insults are too terrible. What, am I that vengeful? I'm going to double the Training, you perverted bastard!!

The problematic lecher continues his argument with a lazy look on his face.

"I think it's because you're in Training, but your body lines are really good.

Look, everyone, please take a good look. This waistline. Don't you think the streamline from the chest to the hips is tied too neatly?

When my breasts are large, they often sag, but they look good.

In addition to the well-trained snow-white limbs, his snow-white limbs are slender, and the hips are also squeaky—"

Unable to hear the end, I fall to my knees.

This guy...

Seriously.... I'm serious...

Even Biscuit, Rena, and my mother haven't given me that much praise.

If you say that much, it's nothing more than a compliment. Kittsui... I'm losing my strength.

Pon, Meleoron's hand is placed on his shoulder.

"But you know.

Your greatest appeal lies in the way your long, wet black hair is entangled with your body.

Come on, charm those two. All your strength."

"Do you want me to hit you with all my might?"

I grab Meleoron's hand. A trap...

"You guys, don't just stand there blankly and block me.

Before I knew it, I was five seconds away from dying."

"You have no room to intervene, you idiot."

Uranus is right. Walking here, I hit Meleoron with a dimple.

"Ah, pain."

"Usually, don't provoke me. You ran too wildly.

Don't be deceived by those about to swim."

"Yes..."

Meleoron slipped from my hand. Hmm... my body had no strength, not even enough to strike it.

Standing up, I brushed the sand off my legs.

"Aisha, what are you going to do? Swim?"

Uranus tilted his head and asked. I was already exhausted before even swimming... but it was very hot.

"Hmm...

Wouldn't it be better to leave the event itself to us?"

"Excellent.

Besides that, you have the underwater ability you mentioned, right?

Try it. Even if I say I won't hold the event here, from now on it's a different matter."

"..."

Are there any other events that require swimming?"

"Wally.

Of course, except for this city."

"..."

Excellent...

You should try it now. If I can't do this at some point, I'll be in trouble. First of all, there might not be any other environment suitable for practice.

"Your ability needs practice, right?"

"First of all, definitely.

After diving, it's hard to say. So don't be silly."

Well, of course. There is no point in taking such meaningless risks.

"You have no choice.

I want to finish quickly and change clothes, so let's get started."

"I completely agree."

"... You're fine.

Please choose such a cute swimsuit. Hmm."

"Yo, not too good.

Aisha is also cute, she said it suits her."

"... I can't help but hate this outfit.

Please don't tell me it suits you."

"Ah, I don't deny that you are cute."

He glanced coldly at Seam, who had said something unnecessary. Seam was smiling as if they hadn't answered. Nu...

"Suju Shui Aisha, you two are so cute.

Good for you, isn't it? Happy? Hehe, how do you feel now?"

"Later... I will definitely reply to you, right? Remember that."

He prophesied revenge on the pervert and turned to face Uranus.

... I can tell he is trying his best not to look at his own chest. This is also difficult.

"Can you explain your ability right away?"

"Ah.

Fine, but do you want to swim a little earlier?

I will use my ability while explaining, and soon I will go into the water to test it.

In that case, I think it would be more convenient to prepare and swim in advance."

... If Meleoron hadn't provoked me, I could have agreed honestly. If you swim, you must be very careful with your hair.

"Oh, an underwater date?

Uranus will also do a good job."

"I want to go to a place without perverts as soon as possible."

"I completely agree with your point of view.

But please get ready, okay?"

"Of course."

Saying this, we started to warm up.

... Yes. Meleoron, look at the cancer.

Seam looked alternately at me and Uranus.... Hmm, I have nothing to say either.

Quickly finish the intense warm-up exercises,

"Let's go, let's go quickly."

"Yes."

I took off my shoes while answering.

Bare feet stepped onto the scorching sandy beach, taking a step ahead amidst the surging sea waves.

It looked like a very beautiful sea. Due to the reflection of the Sun, it was a bit hard to see clearly, but it was distinct.

I rushed into the sea.

Well, not bad. A bit hot, the seawater feels comfortable. Yes. What should I do with my hair tie?

We entered the sea Together, looking at Uranus who seemed very comfortable,

"Should I undo this hair tie?"

"Hmm..."

I don't have any plans for 'Zhou' for the time being, so if you are interested, you can delete it.

Yes, should I delete it? I feel like I should keep my hair Together, but I don't know if I can dry the wet elastic band and use it as is.

Turning back, rising from the sea once,

"Seam. Can you keep this rubber for me?"

Removed from the hair and passed the hair elastic through the seam.

Yes? Don't stare at me.

"What happened?"

"... Aisha, you are so cute."

The hair tied up with the rubber band was now loose. It was almost just like now when I was taking a bath.

"If you say it repeatedly, your senses will become numb...

Is there such a big change?"

"Yeah. Very beautiful."

Should I say this much? Different from Meleoron's praise-killing, it was another kind of trembling.

"... Alright, please."

Turned around and walked toward Uranus.

Uranus is Uranus, goodbye... what the hell.

"You are unusual, aren't you?

My hair length is the same."

"Hmm...

I also envy Aisha's black hair. Very beautiful."

"..."

"Your hair is also very beautiful."

"Yes?

I am very happy you said that."

Uranus was truly happy.... Is there a difference between you and me? Very attractive, isn't it? I couldn't help but feel sad for my own heart...

"It's too late to ask now, but can Aisha swim?"

"I'm not good at it, but anyway.

You?"

"I'm about the same.

As long as I don't drown in a place where I can't stand steady, I don't worry."

"That's fine.

Shall we swim for a while?"

"Yes."

Saying that, we kicked off the bottom of the water and started swimming.

I will review the general swimming I practiced and learned before. I didn't go to school, so I didn't have many opportunities to swim. I don't have that habit.

Hmm... should I go swimming with Gon and the others? Occasionally, underwater Kumite is not bad. Well, I definitely don't want to wear this swimsuit. Let's refer to Uranus's swimwear. Hmm.

A bit further away, Uranus was backstroking. It didn't look dangerous at all. I think just like I said, I can swim to a reasonable degree.

Unlike a swimming pool, there is a water current being tossed up and down by the sea waves, constantly trying to push you back to the shore. Even if the body is easy to float, it is hard to say it is easy to swim.

When I was floating, Uranus crawled toward me.

"Aisha.

I think you will be fine, but be careful of the rip current."

"Oh yes."

I wonder if it was the one swept out to sea. Well, even without Aura, my physical strength should be okay.

"What are you going to do? Are you going back soon?"

Perhaps because I wasn't moving, they seemed to think it was the right time. Right... will you be back for a while?

"Yes."

"Yes."

Then the two swam to the shore. It wasn't too far, so you will arrive there quickly.

When I came out of the sea, my older brother and sister were flushed and waving, waiting for me. In particular, it could be seen that Meleoron wearing a jumpsuit didn't look good.

"Not bad, looks cool."

"Huhu. Quite comfortable."

I restored it to the enviable seam while combing my hair. Somehow, the brother and sister's eyes were different... ha.

"Make sure you both are well hydrated."

"I should buy a beach umbrella."

"Well, never mind."

"Isn't there..."

"Isn't there a rental place?"

"... Probably not."

"There aren't many rental properties on Greed Island."

Yes. If you asked me, I would buy most of them.

"If you stay here forever, you won't be able to buy things that can be used as luggage..."

"Brilliantly..."

"Even if you turn it back into a card using 'Gain', this time it will get in the way of your Free Pocket."

The card system of Greed Island is convenient for disposable items, but it becomes a problem at times like this. I want a Free Pocket twice the size...

"Then, let me explain the ability for underwater use."

Uranus, who seemed accustomed to it, shone his fingertips without hesitation.

"Sky sky something transparent and boil a drop—person long—"

Against the backdrop of the eternal summer sea, the light within reach was dancing. Combined with Uranus's wet hair and swimsuit, it even appeared mysterious.

"──【Heavenly Blessing/Drop Breath】──"

Uranus held his empty hand as if it were a piece, and something transparent appeared between his index and middle fingers.

"Aisha, take this."

"Oh, yes."

When I reached out both hands to scoop water, a transparent sphere dropped down.

Hmm... a glass marble? No, this is...

"Simply put, when you have this candy in your mouth, you can breathe underwater."

Law. Did you materialize that kind of candy? It looks convenient, but is there a problem?

Uranus spread his arms with a difficult expression,

"However, there are some things to be aware of."

"First, it only works while it is in your mouth. This is to prevent accidents in case of accidental ingestion."

"No matter how much you lick it, it won't melt, but if you like it and bite it, it breaks easily. If it breaks, it disappears, and the effect also disappears."

"So, it is a candy that constantly replaces the air in your mouth with outside air. It does not help with breathing."

"So you must practice breathing with your mouth closed and not breathe through your nose."

"Basically, the amount of air exchanged is the same, so when a large amount of water enters the mouth, the air cannot be exchanged."

"In other words, once the air is lost, it cannot be rebuilt."

Listening to Uranus's explanation, we looked as troubled as he did.

"... Can you swim normally with this?"

"If you practice."

"Of course, I have already confirmed that I can swim."

"... When I thought about the ability, I thought of oxygen and carbon dioxide, but it was unexpectedly difficult. In this case, replacing the air directly would be faster."

"That's why it's not that convenient, but..."

Yes, that's right. Uranus made a bad face.

Normal diving seems to have no problem, but it's not very reliable in situations that might trigger an underwater battle. I see, it's a Nen Ability for underwater use.

In the end, this also doesn't solve the problem of not being able to talk underwater... I guess it wasn't as exaggerated as I thought.

"Can I try using it immediately?"

"Please."

"If you no longer need it, feel free to chew it or throw it away."

I rolled a colorless, transparent candy in my palm and then threw it into my mouth.

Rolling around.... Right, it doesn't taste good.

Hmm. I wonder if I can breathe with this. I don't know.

"It's a bit strange to see a pretty girl rolling a candy while wearing a soaked swimsuit."

"Meleoron, you are strange, and pathetic."

As people practiced breathing, damn it. Koro-koro. I couldn't speak properly because I had to be careful not to bite it.

"Aisha."

"You are breathing through your nose, so maybe you should pinch your nose."

"Ah, haha."

Pinching my nose just like you said. Oh, this is real. I have air in my mouth.

Yes? Oh, saliva is building up. Uh, what should I do about this?

When I caught Uranus's eye,

"Maybe saliva is accumulating, right?"

"Swallow the saliva little by little, being careful not to swallow the hard candy."

"Once I get used to it, I'll get the hang of it, so I can do everything I'm doing now while swimming."

"Phew... that sounds difficult."

Listening to Uranus's advice, Meleoron tilted his head while sweating. Hmm... Indeed, to do this while swimming, you need to get used to it...

Uranus also shaped his hand into a block, embodying candy. Oh? If it is the same ability activated continuously, then I don't need to chant or anything like that.

Uranus also threw candy into his mouth,

"Hoya, let's go.

Aisha is waiting while doing Training.

If you're late, go to the punishment room to cool off, hehehehehehehe"

Why are you talking after throwing candy?... Hmm, it was my carelessness.

Uranus returns to the sea, passing through the waves and swimming. Oh, I took out the Binder. I might have forgotten to take it out beforehand.... For some reason, Uranus is uneasy, but are you okay?

Even so, I eventually have to pick up the designated pocket card myself. No, obtaining it is a jar. Uranus should have found it, so it's fine.

Oh no. Before leaving Uranus, I forgot to let him play "Zhou". But that's because I took off my hair gel... Uranus has already sunk. I believe he will return soon. If a player attacks, will you rely on Meleoron? Rolling around.

Seeming to look at me with puzzled eyes,

"Is Aisha still doing Cultivation?"

"Haiyo"

"You are also very diligent.

... If the weather is hot, why not go swimming with Seam?"

"Well, I'm hot, isn't Sister hotter?"

"If no one comes, I will take off my clothes and swim in such hot weather.

Alright, leave us alone, go practice."

"Fairy"

Koro-koro. Otherwise, I look like an idiot. I don't like being dressed like this with nothing to show for it. Kara-koro.

That is to say, I feel uncomfortable making Meleoron and Seam look so hot. Let me make a Suggestion.

"fuhahihomo, mohihemofuiihahara, hihefuhehara, wahimohohefuhemorohimafuhara"

"I really don't understand what you are saying"

Becoming noisy. You can tell by observing the difficulty of speaking. I mean, this is a big candy ball. If you chew it, it disappears, and you can't do Cultivation, so you can't put force into your mouth.

Once you take out the candy, you can talk, but you can't put it back in your mouth. Because it's dirty. I'm in trouble... Mom, I'm really in trouble...

After practicing for a few minutes, I got the hang of it, so I immediately tried swimming in this state.

... That's it. Swimming on the water is a set of breathing movements, so the effect is not very good. This doesn't make any sense. I just need to breathe normally...

Making up my mind, I forced my body to sink into the sea.

Trying to breathe candy in a sea clearer than you imagine.

……

…………

………………

Breathing is not too bad. But shortness of breath itself will never disappear. Perhaps there is nothing you can do about it. I don't know if I can endure this state.

Mmm...

As long as I don't move, I can do something. The question is, can you swim underwater? If you can't move, then it doesn't make any sense.

Once on the water surface.

"Hmm...

Woo-woo-woo..."

Exhale through the mouth, bringing the air back into the mouth. Not only can you not inhale, but not being able to exhale air is also quite painful. Even the breathing technique in martial arts, of course, cannot ignore this. Because a single sigh can reveal the timing of the trick. Exhalation control is also necessary to Eliminate the intent of an attack.

Dive into the sea again.

As a physical sensation, I seem to have gotten used to it. When submerged, swim slowly first.... Oh, will it go smoothly?

The trick is not to disturb the flow of puffing and deflating your cheeks. If you do that, your breathing will continue. After that, be careful to swallow the saliva that occasionally accumulates in your mouth. It is best not to swim forcefully at this time to avoid choking.

Yes, yes... Alright. Dive a little deeper and continue swimming.

Leave the beach and swim in the sea.

The vast and clear blue sea. With the sunlight falling from the sky, you can see everything at a glance.

Get a little closer, and you can see a school of Fugura swimming in the distance. You can even see some creatures on the seabed.

The sight and feeling of swimming in the sea gradually made me feel better. Yes, this is quite nice. I wonder what it feels like for a diver to swim with an oxygen tank.

Enjoy swimming in the sea while practicing breathing and diving.

────A familiar Shadow comes towards us from the deep sea.

Uranus swims around with swaying cherry-colored hair, holding a Binder in his hand.

I stop swimming and stay in place. Of course, the other party also noticed this, and Uranus drew a circle with his Finger. It looks like the jar was found. Good.

Uranus rises suddenly. I float up together.

"Ha... book!"

Uranus wiped off the Binder while I put my face into the sea.

"Ha, ha...

Aisha, come back quickly."

"Yes"

After a quick call to each other, we headed to the beach and swam away.

Swim until you can touch your feet, take a deep breath, and then walk away.

"Aisha, you can chew it up, or you can throw it away."

…………Throw what? I mean, you can't remotely Eliminate it, this. Fine, if you say bite it, I will do it.

As I gritted my teeth and chewed, the candy disappeared.

Hmm? Uranus, you were speaking quite normally just now. Did you chew it a long time ago or throw it away? Or perhaps I can wipe off what is in my mouth.

"Can't you wipe this off remotely?"

"I can turn it off.

If you chew it to pieces, I will know how much force you need to break it, so look forward to it."

"……

So please tell me from the beginning.

You might have accidentally thrown it away."

"No, somehow.

Some people might not be willing to chew the candy."

"……"

Using your thoughts in a strange way. I don't mind.

"You two are both very tired."

"Ahhh.

Well, how is it?"

When we returned to the beach, the two of us were handed a Towel each. Accepting it readily,

"Ah, wait a moment.

I have water in my ear……"

Uranus tilted his head, tapped his temple, and then hopped on one leg. I have water in my ear too. Gently shaking my head.

"So you two have been waiting for me until now."

"Seam...

Although we were all doing our best, I am the only one who said he didn't want to cool down."

"Glad you came back alone, sister."

"It can't be like that."

Meleoron sighed. Hoo, you wouldn't do that, would you? …… Leaving Seam alone. Well, I wonder if anyone cares about me.

However, I have been waiting under the Retsu Sun. If it were bad, it would have worn us down more.

"It's going smoothly for now, but can we talk about it later?

I want to take a bath and change my clothes. …… Aisha, is it okay now?"

"Yes, I have practiced enough.

I don't want my hair to be ruined by the seawater, so I want to take a bath as soon as possible."

"Oh, yes, that.

Well, I am curious."

The four of them walked along the beach. …… Hurry up, I am going to change into this swimsuit……

Feeling embarrassed, one would definitely tease the pervert, so it is hard to walk so openly. Oh no no no.

The pervert shouted from behind.

"But come on.

After all, a beautiful girl, no matter what she wears, can become a painting."

"……What stupid things are you saying?"

"Not just Aisha. Both of them."

"Hey, don't wrap me up as a beautiful girl."

"Eh?

Do you think you are not cute?"

"……Don't talk about these, saying I am a beautiful girl is a lie."

Cormorant. …… This won't bother me either.

"Hey, look, can you take a look?

Wetting Aisha's hair. Isn't it bright and beautiful?

Don't you think it's more erotic than being naked?"

"Hmm?

……But I have never seen Aisha naked……"

Seam, stop! I don't like this kind of talk! It's too terrible!

Seeing Uranus blushing beside him, he took extra damage. Jajanken……!

Hana, if I don't go off-topic...

"……I think Uranus's hair is better than mine, don't you think?

Yes, really."

"I know how good your hair is.

I have bathed together before."

"I know, because I have been watching.

They both have beautiful hair."

Seam will mercilessly make you sway……! Uranus couldn't take it anymore and covered his face. Damn, when these two join forces, it gets out of control!

"By the way, where are you going now?"

Meleoron broke the flow and asked about a piece of business. Think about it, where should I go to take a bath?

Ouranos said roughly and wearily,

"……Along this beach, there is a seaside villa ahead.

There is a Shower Room, you can take a soak after swimming in the sea."

"Oh, I see.

So you guys take off those swimsuits and go take a shower. Yubing"

Woo woo.

────Then, hey!!
