Inside the department store. It was hot outside, and very cool inside.

My whole body was keenly feeling the sweat that had just begun to form quickly disappear and dry in the cool wind.

I quickly exhaled my breath, which had been difficult to breathe due to the stuffiness, inside the dry, cool building.

As I waved off my clothes, feeling a little refreshed, I saw many people around me coming in to do some shopping to escape the heat.

The overall interior has a pure white atmosphere, but it was impressive to see that each store had its own individual color.

Some places sell jewelry, some sell bags, some sell clothing, and perhaps they also sell perfume. As I passed by somewhere, a fragrant smell passed my nose.

As I slowly went up the escalator, I glanced at the information board in front of me.

There, they told us what was on each floor from the first floor to the top floor, and we stopped there to find a place that sells swimsuits.

When you walk on that floor, it really feels like summer. It feels like that.

There were mannequins in swimsuits lined up in a row, decorating the large venue with sports brands.

There were regular swimsuits that were really meant for swimming, rash guards, and swimming gear that caught my eye.

Meanwhile, it seemed strange to me that brands were expensive.

Still, it’s okay because there are a lot of pretty things.

Bikinis were displayed on unusual-looking hangers.

Some of them were because they had to be worn top to bottom, some were swimsuits that were connected from the top to the bottom, and others came in a variety of shapes.

Or maybe they sell a slightly transparent outfit that can be worn over a swimsuit.

“Oh, it’s pretty.”

“Sure.”

After agreeing with my sister, I sighed and looked around at the men’s swimsuits for a moment.

Well, no matter how you look at it, the colors and patterns will be the same, so there is no need to worry that much. After deciding that, I turned my head again and caught my eye on the women’s swimsuit section my sister was looking at.

My sister was looking at various things to see what was so enjoyable.

“… Pretty is pretty. But I don’t think I can wear this.”

What caught my sister’s eye was an underwear that, unlike other bikinis, had a noticeably smaller area.

It was so blatant that it could be said that there was only enough area to cover it up.

It’s not a micro bikini, but the thought of my older sister wearing it made me think it was definitely sexy.

I think it would be nice to wear that. A thought crossed my mind. I thought it would be nice to take it to a place that other people would like to see and drag it around as if showing off, or to use it to play while enjoying a staycation at a hotel, so I decided to set my sights on it for a moment and remember it.

“Look at this, how about this?”

As I was lost in thought, I heard my sister’s voice.

When the voice asked me for my opinion, I immediately looked at the swimsuit that my sister was looking at next to me, and I noticed a large frill-like thing placed there.

It looks like a skirt, and it feels like it would cover one thigh if worn.

It’s kind of pretty, but it’s not my style.

I also thought that it would be better to wear a plain swimsuit and a see-through outfit, even if it wasn’t explicit.

If you go out to sea, other women will look like that too, so just wear something like that.

Of course, tastes may be different, but it just meant that it wasn’t my taste.

After I passed on my sister’s words and glanced behind me, I saw the bikinis on display.

Starting with the mint color that looked like underwear, there were also colorful patterns reminiscent of southern patterns, and even black and white ones were eye-catching.

Or, I wondered what it would be like if it was a full-body swimsuit with a cut in the back.

“How about this?”

So, I carefully placed my hand on the hanger and took it off the display shelf to show it to my sister. Then my older sister saw it and came over to see if she was interested and glanced behind it.

The front was covered from the chest to the crotch, but the back was completely revealing. So it looked like it was connected by a string, and as soon as my sister saw it, she moaned in horror.

“… Isn’t it a bit excessive?”

To be honest, the degree of exposure varies from person to person, so it can be thought of that way.

However, these were not costumes sold at adult stores, but clothes that could be worn at sea. This meant that most people who could afford to buy and wear these clothes.

“Hmm,” my sister moaned as she noticed another swimsuit on the side I had taken out.

Then, next to it, I found a swimsuit that seemed to be trying hard to cover up my body.

It’s a bikini, but the lower part has the same area as dolphin pants. I wondered if she didn’t like wearing empty clothes, so I looked at my sister for a moment and sighed.

“… Sister, isn’t that a bit weird?”

“I think she’s pretty?”

“No, it’s prettier like this. Or better this.”

As I said that, I roughly found another swimsuit with my free hand and showed it to her.

It was a design and color that could be said to be the standard bikini. It feels like it’s white and has some frills.

And there was even a see-through cloth covering the pelvis area.

I thought that if you were going to cover it up, it would be better to cover it this way.

“Well, isn’t that cloth in front of you better than that cloth?”

“No, that’s not transparent fabric.”

“I like that.”

“That’s because you don’t know how to see, so look carefully. This is prettier.”

As soon as I did that, I held out the swimsuit I was holding in my hand.

“What the mannequins are wearing is either this or this, but don’t you think that sells well?”

“Oh, no, um… Like that?”

At my persuasion, my sister narrowed her eyebrows and tilted her head. Then, I just kept moaning and eventually began to carefully examine the swimsuit in my hand.

Since my older sister is not the stubborn type, I thought it would be possible to make her wear something if there was something she wanted to wear.

“How about this? Clothing that covers the upper part.”

“Ugh, mmm. It’s good.”

As my sister was answering in a shaky voice, the employee next to her cautiously approached me.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

I thought it was time to do this, so I pointed to the swimsuit in my hand and the swimsuit that had moved to my sister’s hand.

“Ah, yes. Which one looks better, the swimsuit in front of me or this one? The ones on display sell better, right?”

“Yes, yes, that’s right. Some of the designs on display have sold out, so not many of those designs remain.”

I quickly got my bearings and immediately looked at my older sister and spoke.

“Look. They say this is more popular.”

“Uh, um… But can I see you some more?”

I nodded my head at those words and asked the staff for a moment of understanding.

The two of us were together again, and my older sister was looking back and forth for a while, looking at the swimsuits.

“How about that?”

As I asked that question, I pointed to the swimsuit that had passed by my sister’s hand.

Then my sister just moaned and stopped.

Do you not like it? Or maybe I became a little passive because of that conversation earlier.

Seeing as how difficult it was to choose, I thought it could be both.

I thought that if I was going to worry so much, it would be better to choose from the ones I chose.

“Anyway, I’m going to the military soon, so you can wear what I ask you to wear.”

“… … .”

“It’s a shame. I finally found something pretty.”

As I said, my sister let out a groan that sounded like she was in pain, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she went back to where the swimsuit was and picked it out.

“I’ll wear this. Yes.”

“Oh, let’s buy that one too.”

In response to my sister’s decision, I pointed out the small swimsuit that she hated earlier.

Unlike regular swimsuits, that white swimsuit, with its area reduced by half, could be said to be quite explicit.

Although it covered sensitive parts, it was an obscene outfit that only covered those parts and exposed the flesh between the breasts.

“Well, that’s a bit weird?”

No matter how much I nodded and chose a swimsuit with a low back, my sister’s voice said that it was impossible to wear clothes like that.

But since that wasn’t something I was going to wear, I put my hand on my sister’s shoulder and gently spoke as if persuading her.

“That’s just something to wear at the hotel. how is it? Isn’t it okay?”

“… No, still… ”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. Just do it.”

With that, I took my wallet out of my pocket.

Although the words and actions seemed like nothing special, the tone of his voice dripped with regret and resignation.

I didn’t say anything. However, in the meantime, the feeling and atmosphere seemed to be putting pressure on my sister.

So when my sister heard that, she said, uh, uh, until I took out the card. He moaned, then closed his mouth and finally managed to spit out the words.

“Ah, okay. Buy, buy.”

“… Yes.”

I responded a little stiffly.

If I had said OK the first time I said it, I would have responded softly, but answering after skipping once or twice didn’t feel that good.

I didn’t want to keep giving my sister room to refute and reject things.

While we were choosing our swimsuits and moving around in silence, I spoke as if to help.

“Employees also say that I think I see things better?”

“… Yes.”

My older sister responded and followed behind me.
