Ch.130Summer, and the Sea (10)

Without bothering to lounge around in our accommodations, we headed straight for the beach.

“Um… you probably know this, but please don’t go over there. And don’t do anything disrespectful.”

Shotaro earnestly implored us.

Even though it was a private beach, we couldn’t use all the space.

At the spot with the best view on the private beach… there was a fence.

That area had the feeling of being the Kujo family’s private property. There was a desperate undertone that we shouldn’t disturb the high-ranking people playing there.

“Ohhh!! We’ll play quietly!!!!”

I immediately shouted energetically to reassure Shotaro.

“You’re already being noisy…”

Shotaro didn’t seem convinced at all.

“Ah. And… don’t go into the forest.”

Shotaro pointed to the forest behind the beach.

There was a metal fence surrounding the forest. Not just any fence, but a thick one with barbed wire.

‘Caution: Bear Sightings’

‘Caution: Wolf Sightings’

‘Caution: Wild Boar Sightings’

‘Caution: Monkey Sightings’

It felt like every dangerous wild animal was gathered there. Monkeys too… they’re classified as predators, after all. So that forest… had monkeys in it.

“That forest is quite dangerous. Anyway, be careful.”

Shotaro said.

Soon after, Shotaro tried to head back to the villa.

“Huh? You should play with us.”

I said to Shotaro.

“I’d rather not disturb a young couple. I’d just be in the way.”

Shotaro said with an awkward smile.

He didn’t need to worry about that… we were planning to do naughty things regardless of who was around.

“Besides… I have work to do. Being a PD is quite busy.”

Shotaro said with tired eyes.

Ah… I just witnessed the hardships of a working adult worn down by life.

“Oh, and… Mika, you know. She said she’s coming here in the afternoon.”

Shotaro then patted my shoulder.

“Take good care of her. Please…”

Shotaro said with a desperate expression.

“Ah, yes…”

Mika… I’d seen her in photos, but I had no idea what kind of person she was.

Anyway, in the end, it was just the four of us playing on the beach.

Splash-! Splash-!!

The emerald-colored sea and fine sand—it was the epitome of a perfect beach.

I thought everyone would be spending time leisurely under the parasols, but that assumption was completely wrong.

Splash!!! Splash!! Splash!!!

Everyone was genuinely engaged in water play.

“Umi… gah!! Stop!!!! Ah! Seriously!!!”

Eri was helplessly enduring Umi’s water attacks.

“Hehehe. Stop? Did you say stop? Saying that just makes me want to continue even more, you know?”

Umi laughed as she splashed more water at Eri.

“Ah!! Really!! Umi, you’re so mischievous!!! You’re becoming more like Shota every day… gah!!”

Eri fell forward, landing on her bottom.

“Eri!! I’m coming to help!!!!”

Taiga immediately intervened, grabbing Umi from behind.

“Water suplex!!!”

Right after, Taiga knocked Umi down.

Splash-!!!!!

Umi got completely soaked from that.

“Blrgh!!”

Umi spat out water and immediately stood up.

I thought… weren’t we supposed to have a swimsuit appreciation session? But whatever. As long as everyone was having fun.

“I’m joining too!!!”

I immediately jumped into the seawater.

“Hey! It’s Shota!!! Everyone attack him!! Dunk him!!”

Taiga directed everyone to launch a full assault.

“Hehehe. You can’t escape.”

Umi restrained my left arm, and Eri grabbed my right.

“Urgh!!!”

Then Taiga climbed on top of me, wrapping her thighs around my head. She put her full weight into knocking me down.

Splash-!!!

“Stop!! Enough!!”

I shouted loudly, but the three of them had no intention of stopping their attack on me.

———-

I thought we’d immediately get to doing naughty things, but we ended up genuinely enjoying playing in the sea more than expected.

After playing for about an hour, I headed straight for the parasol.

“Alright!! Let’s all eat something!”

Playing in the sea had consumed a lot of energy. It was about time everyone would be getting hungry.

“Let’s eat watermelon!! Watermelon!!!”

“Is there soda too?! It tastes great with watermelon!!”

“Shota!! Good thinking!”

My hungry girlfriends immediately headed for the parasol.

“Let’s do this!! Watermelon splitting!!”

Umi then pulled out a handkerchief and a wooden sword.

“Ah…”

It was the classic game where you’re blindfolded and try to split a watermelon by following directions from others. A cliché beach episode from otaku anime.

“That sounds fun!”

Eri’s eyes sparkled.

“Oh!! Shota!! You have to split the watermelon with fighting spirit!!”

Taiga seemed caught up in the mood.

“But… it won’t be fun if I do it.”

I said.

“Just do it!!”

But my three girlfriends were already in the mood. They immediately put the handkerchief over my eyes and handed me the wooden sword. The cloth was so thick that I couldn’t see anything.

‘But… this is pointless.’

I sighed, thinking that.

Since I had mastered the Flash Slash technique, I could sense the presence of most things through breathing even with my eyes closed.

I could clearly feel the positions of my shouting girlfriends and the watermelon placed neatly on the sand.

“Shota!! Go right from there!!”

“No!! Left!!!”

“I’m telling you, go right!!”

“It’s left!!”

“Just go for it!”

My girlfriends were desperately trying to guide me, but I already knew the location.

I quickly approached the watermelon.

“Hmmm…”

After charging my breath, I prepared for the Flash Slash.

Swoosh-!

Then I swung the sword toward the watermelon.

Slice-!

Normally, when hit with a blunt wooden sword, a watermelon would just get smashed… but when using the Flash Slash, it was a different story.

Clang-!!!

The watermelon showed a clean cut surface and split into four equal parts.

“There. Done, right?”

I said, throwing off the blindfold.

“Somehow… this isn’t the watermelon splitting I was expecting.”

Umi looked dejected. See?

“But… is it physically possible to split a watermelon like this with a wooden sword? This seems like something you’d see on TV.”

Eri spoke as if she couldn’t believe it. As expected of our harem’s most rational person.

But… isn’t this level of skill not that impressive? I realized it during the previous ferry incident. I’m actually quite ordinary by comparison. You’d need to be able to transform your body into mist or use clone techniques to even be considered for TV. The bar for uniqueness was incredibly high in this fundamentally otaku world.

“Hehehe. But this makes it easier to eat.”

Taiga said, picking up a cleanly cut piece of watermelon.

Anyway, we started eating the watermelon, the quintessential summer fruit.

And… I decided to make something nice for my girlfriends.

Crack-!

I split the second watermelon in half.

“Shota. What are you trying to do?”

Umi tilted her head and asked.

“Watch. I’ll make something delicious.”

Watermelon punch—this is irresistible.

“Hmm…!!”

I swung the knife and quickly cut the inside of the watermelon into cubes.

“No… seriously, how did you do that?”

Eri persistently questioned.

After hollowing out some of the watermelon, I opened a soda and poured it in.

Fizz-!!

“Hmm… isn’t adding soda a bit weird?”

Eri tilted her head.

“Shota… mixing two delicious things doesn’t necessarily make them twice as delicious.”

Taiga also spoke in a tone like she was soothing a child.

“Well, taste it before you judge.”

Your question marks? I’ll turn them into exclamation points.

And… I made watermelon punch.

“Here. Eat!”

I said, handing out disposable spoons. Well… it might not look appetizing, but once you taste it, your opinion changes.

If you close your eyes and try it once, you’ll become someone who can’t live without punch in summer. That’s the “punch addiction.” It makes you think about turning every fruit you see into punch instead of eating it plain.

The disease of punch addiction has a long history, even recorded in the Goguryeo Watermelon Murals. Anyway,

That’s

“Well… I’ll try it.”

Taiga surprisingly readily picked up a spoon. She didn’t have many food taboos.

“When I lived in the orphanage… I was always hungry and sometimes caught and ate things like grasshoppers. This looks more appetizing than that.”

Taiga said with a distant look in her eyes.

“Kugh… Taiga!!!”

Really… I’ll make you happier than any other woman!!! I made such a resolution while shedding tears.

Anyway, everyone buried their heads in the watermelon and started munching on the punch. Just looking at it makes me… not full at all. I also grabbed a spoon and aggressively joined the punch battle.

“Get lost!! Women!!! The punch is mine!!!!!!”

I started scooping up the punch with tremendous momentum.

“Hahaha!! Shota!! Your character has changed!!”

“Look at this guy’s appetite! Hehehe!!”

“Shota!! This bastard is pushing me with his shoulder!!! What’s with the physical fighting?!”

Eri, Umi, and Taiga also started vigorously eating the punch.

“Woooah!! Delicious!!!!”

Umi immediately discovered the taste of the punch.

“Carbonation and watermelon… they go well together.”

Eri seemed surprised too.

“Actually… the sweetness of watermelon itself is ambiguous, but did you enhance it with the sugar from the soda? While maintaining the watermelon’s flavor and adding refreshment with carbonation!! Genius!!”

Having eaten something delicious, Taiga’s vocabulary suddenly improved. That’s how good it tasted.

In the blink of an eye, the punch was empty. The watermelon shell that served as a bowl was left with only its rind.

“Wow… delicious…”

Umi still seemed overwhelmed by the taste of the punch.

“By the way, how did Shota know about this delicacy?”

Eri asked.

It’s memories from my previous life. Since I couldn’t say that, I made something up.

“I saw it on the internet.”

I said. Yes. We’ve entered an era where people accept anything if you say you learned it from the internet.

“Ah… I think I’ll crave punch every summer now.”

Taiga said with a smile. Heh. Has she developed punch addiction?

Anyway, having played a lot in the sea, our basic desire for fun was satisfied, and having eaten watermelon, our appetite was also satisfied.

In the end… the only desire left was sexual desire.

My girlfriends seemed to have flipped their switches. Honestly, I had been struggling to hold back for a while. Their bikini outfits were too arousing. Their figures and beauty were just cheat codes.

“Now I want to eat a different kind of watermelon.”

I slipped my hand inside Umi’s bikini top.

Squish-!

The mass of her breasts, truly like watermelons, transmitted to my hand. This is definitely our Umi.

“Then… since watermelon alone isn’t enough, shall we make some punch? Now… let’s add some soda… ❤”

Umi smiled and spat a long trail of saliva into her cleavage. The sticky saliva formed a string and flowed into her breasts.

Squish-!

Umi lifted her breasts to spread the saliva evenly across her cleavage. Thanks to the lubricant-like substance spread between her breasts, the friction became zero.

“There. Isn’t this easier to eat now?”

Umi said with a seductive expression.

“Umiii…!!!”

Umi was becoming more seductive by the day. I immediately threw myself at her.

“W-wait ❤ Shotaaa! First, tell me what you think about my swimsuit…”

Umi giggled and rolled on the mat.

“Later… I’ll do that later!!”

With my switch flipped, I pounced on Umi in a half-beast state.

Riding the momentum, I spent intimate happy time with Eri and Taiga as well.

After rolling around for a while, we leisurely enjoyed ourselves under the parasol, half-naked.

By the way, I wonder if Madoka and Tina are having fun?
