Chapter 227 – Volcanic Island

Hot sun, blue sky, and a sea stretching to the horizon – we finally arrived in Cotiphania.

“Wow! It’s incredibly warm!”

“It’s been a while since I thought of home, nya.”

Uni and Pernia each commented on the weather.

By the way, thinking of home… did Pernia grow up on a volcanic island when she lived on Earth? Since I don’t know the location of every volcanic island in the world offhand, it was impossible to pinpoint her nationality.

Well, that’s not important now.

“Ruan! Look over there! They say that restaurant is made from a giant crab shell. Isn’t that amazing?”

“Hmph! What’s so amazing about that?”

“I didn’t ask you, did I?”

Even amid all this, the first priority was to stop the squabbling duo on either side of me.

“Both of you, calm down. Why are you fighting on a trip? Let’s head to the accommodation first. Look, the guide is coming.”

Just in time, a female guide in her late twenties approached us.

“Welcome to Tifaconia! I’m Ataya, your guide! First, I’ll take you to your accommodation!”

“Yes. Please take care of us.”

We followed Ataya and boarded the carriage that was waiting for us. As the carriage departed, the surrounding scenery rapidly flashed by. We looked out the window, admiring the streets of Cotiphania.

‘This is my first time in a place like this, it’s amazing.’

Everything I saw was new.

Since it was a region that hadn’t even appeared in the game, everything felt unfamiliar. That fact made my heart pound with excitement, yet an unprecedented uneasiness weighed heavily in a corner of my mind.

Meanwhile, the carriage rode on and soon arrived at the accommodation.

“Ohh…”

“Wow! It’s so beautiful!”

The accommodation was a huge pension with white walls and a blue roof. It even came with a private pool and a private beach, a living area where privacy was perfectly guaranteed, except when buying things or using outside facilities! Of course, there were also luxury pensions next door, so we might encounter people from there, but that’s hardly a drawback.

As we stared blankly up at the pension, the guide gestured inside.

“Then, let’s go in. I’ll explain the interior to you.”

The interior wasn’t particularly special. It was just quite spacious, and the rooms were organically connected, making it complex to figure out the layout.

After 30 minutes, the guide, having disclosed all the information about the pension, disappeared with the words, “Call if you need anything.”

We gathered in the living room.

“So, what should we do now?”

“Swimming, of course!”

Uni shouted in response to Abel’s question, without hesitation. Following her lead, several other members of the group raised their hands, supporting the idea.

“Ruan. What about you? Is there anything you want to do?”

“Not really? I do want to look around the island a bit, but I can do that anytime. We can swim for a while, then go out and explore while grabbing some simple lunch.”

“Sounds good. Alright, everyone, change into your swimsuits and meet at the entrance!”

We dispersed and went into our respective rooms to change.

Of course, I was kicked out.

“Honestly. What’s there to be so shy about?” Despite being close enough to have intimately explored each other’s bodies, Alisa was still shy about showing me her naked form. Of course, besides that, it also seemed like she had certain reactions or expectations regarding her swimsuit appearance. It wasn’t just Alisa; even Deborah seemed to want me to leave.

‘It doesn’t really matter to me.’

However, I couldn’t shake the feeling of slight annoyance.

But putting those thoughts aside, I was genuinely looking forward to seeing them in their swimsuits.

I wondered what kind of swimsuits they had chosen.

‘Deborah suits an innocent style, so maybe a one-piece? Alisa, based on her looks, would suit a bikini, but she’s quite shy, so she might have covered up appropriately…’

My mind raced. Like a 3D modeling workspace, the two of them spun around, transforming into different swimsuits in real time. Since I knew all their measurements, this was possible just with imagination.

My imagination continued even after Abel joined.

However, there was something I had overlooked.

And that was the fact that there was another notable person besides the two of them.

“R-Ruan! Have you been waiting long?”

A familiar voice reached me as I stared intently at the triple room. I turned my head and saw Isis standing on the stairs. Regina was with her, but she didn’t even register in my sight.

“Oh…”

Quite unexpectedly, Isis was wearing a bikini with very little fabric. It wasn’t so revealing as to be vulgar like a micro bikini; it was just enough to emphasize her figure. The problem was that even that alone was enough to make my erection strongly want to appear. I forcibly tried to suppress the blood flow to stop it, but my erection’s resistance was unyielding. Even knowing that an erection here would cause a huge problem, I couldn’t stop scrutinizing Isis’s bikini attire.

‘Amazing.’

The bikini was black with ties, structured so that it could be easily removed by untying the knots. I wanted to pretend it was an accident and just rip it off. Wouldn’t Isis, who cherishes her younger brother, readily overlook something like that?

Lately, being constantly tormented by Deborah and Alisa has actually increased my libido. It’s truly hard to suppress the urges.

Perhaps my persistent gaze made her uncomfortable, as Isis subtly averted her eyes. Even that was provocative.

‘A low growl escaped me… I can’t take it anymore!’

Just as I decided to execute my plan of pretending it was an accident and taking it off, Regina interrupted.

“Excuse me, but could you look away?”

“…Huh?”

“It’s uncomfortable when you stare like that. Should I have worn something other than a bikini?”

Regina subtly covered her chest with her arm. Perhaps she was with Isis when they bought their swimsuits, as she wore a bikini of the same design but a different color. And true to a woman who is outwardly excellent, she looked quite beautiful. The problem, though, was that she was so rude that her appearance barely registered.

I let out a hollow laugh, dumbfounded.

“I apologize, Your Royal Highness? I wasn’t looking at Your Highness. I was looking at our beautiful elder sister.”

“Is that so? Alright. If you want to make excuses like that, I won’t stop you. But please, just look moderately.”

“I’m telling you, it’s not like that!”

“I said I get it!”

Sparks flew! Sparks flew between Regina and me.

‘Crazy lesbian.’

To openly check me like this just for admiring Isis’s figure. Even so, she doesn’t even have the courage to confess her feelings!

Seeing us, Isis wrung her hands, wearing an anxious expression.

Just then, Uni and Pernia appeared.

“Abel!”

“Uni?”

Abel’s eyes widened when he saw Uni in a cute one-piece swimsuit. It wasn’t overly flashy, yet it had decorations scattered throughout, a design that perfectly captured her innocent and modest charm.

Standing next to her, Pernia was wearing a daring monokini with cutouts on both sides. The hint of her well-defined abdominal muscles caught my eye.

‘Her abs are more defined than before.’ They were a bit fainter than that when I raped her last time, so it seems she’s been training hard.

I moved on with a brief thought.

Because the two people I was most looking forward to were still left!

How long had I waited, filled with anticipation?

With a sudden bang! Finally, the door opened, and Deborah and Alisa appeared.

I was a little surprised.

That’s because Deborah, whom I expected to wear an innocent one-piece swimsuit, was instead wearing a daring, see-through bikini, while Alisa had reduced her exposure with a flowy, ruffled swimsuit.

It was completely different from what I expected, which made it all the more shocking.

“Hmm…”

I furrowed my brow. It wasn’t that I disliked their swimsuits; it was to get a better look.

Meanwhile, the two of them approached me closely.

“R-Ruan. How do I look?”

“H-Hmph! Why don’t you give me your impression?”

Deborah, full of shyness, and Alisa, tsundere as ever. Smiling broadly at their individualistic appearances, I pulled both of them into an embrace and whispered softly so no one else could hear.

“I want to devour you right now.”

This was my true feeling.

“Ugh…!”

“H-Hii!?”

“Hah!”

However, it seemed like such a shocking remark to the three of them that they each gasped in surprise.

‘Wait, three?’

For a moment, I doubted my ears. But realizing it wasn’t false, and furthermore, that the sound had come from a different direction, I slowly turned my head.

And then my eyes met Isis’s. She covered her mouth, looked at me, then her face flushed faintly as she lowered her gaze.

It seemed she had heard.

‘I’m screwed.’

Of all people, to be caught by Isis… I had completely underestimated her hearing.

As I was pondering what to do, Alisa, who had been shrinking back in embarrassment, hit me on the chest.

“You pervert! Pervert! What if someone heard you?!”

“Ow, hey, that hurts. Stop hitting me.”

“Hmph! I know you’re lying! Take that! More!”

Whack! Whack! Alisa swung her fists with palpable force, showing that the form she used to beat me throughout the first semester hadn’t gone anywhere.

Still, unlike back then, there was no genuine malice or power in her hits, so the pain was less, both mentally and physically. If anything, I was grateful that it subtly helped diffuse the awkward atmosphere with Isis.

As I grinned, Alisa flinched.

“Wh-What? Why are you laughing? Are you crazy from getting hit? No, that can’t be right, I hit your chest. Are you perhaps… enjoying being hit? You pervert!”

“Thanks.”

“That’s disgusting! Go away!”

I forcibly pulled the pushing Alisa into an embrace and rubbed my cheek against hers.

Even as she protested, I could see the corners of her mouth twitching upwards.

As we were engaged in this display of affection, someone tugged at my collar from beside me.

“Ruan…”

It was Deborah, with a sullen face.

To practice impartial love, I pulled her into the embrace too and enjoyed the warmth.

From behind, I felt sighs of ‘that’s enough’ and sharp glares, but I ignored them and continued until I was satisfied, then let go.

With a bright face, I shouted.

“Then, shall we head straight to the sea!”

“We couldn’t go because of you, nya!”

“Truly disgusting to watch.”

“Ah, ahaha! Everyone, let’s go out then.”

Abel soothed Pernia and Regina, who were complaining, and led everyone outside.

As soon as we left the pension, the beach welcomed us.

Whoosh— The waves churned up violent foam, swallowed the sandy ground, then retreated, leaving behind seashells. It was a sea straight out of a painting. Even the water was transparent, revealing the depths, a sight I’d only seen on TV.

As I gasped at the sight, Deborah and Alisa took my hands and pulled me from both sides.

“Ruan. Let’s go!”

“Quickly! I want to get into the sea!”

Their smiles, as they looked at me, were dazzlingly beautiful.

Unable to resist a sudden surge of mischief, I wrapped my arms around both of their waists.

“Huh?”

“Wh-What is it?”

I immediately ran towards the sea.

“Here we gooooo!”

“Kyaaaat!”

“W-Waaaaaait!”

Thud! And then, with a powerful final leap, I dived into the water.

Splash—! Ah, it’s refreshing.
