What is the easiest way for a game company that sells crappy games to raise money? There may be many opinions, but the simplest and most formalized one was to strip the female characters bare.

Exposing areas such as the belly button, thighs, and armpits is already a basic of basics.

It was common sense, at least in Korea when I lived, that stripping female characters of their lower breasts, side breasts, or dangerous parts near the groin was a way to raise money for game companies.

Of course, as stripping these female characters could be toxic at times, it was impossible to strip them without context, and it was always important to keep an appropriate line in order to avoid antagonizing the majority of users while making otakus open their wallets.

And among the ways to remove a character, the most common formula is now the ‘swimsuit’.

When the summer season arrives, it is natural for all kinds of games to release swimsuit costume events or swimsuit version-limited gacha, and of course, even though it is a package game and not a gacha game, 『Luminor Academy』 is an academy-style shit game that has its own volume among shit games. There is a swimsuit costume.

There was even an event in the story called ‘Oceanography Exploration Class’ that was designed to allow people to enjoy swimsuits to their heart’s content.

‘And this semester, me and Ethan, as well as the warrior party, all took the ‘Oceanography Exploration Class’.’

In other words, it is essential for women, including me, to prepare swimsuits just to take an oceanography exploration class.

Unless I was going to wear a thick maid uniform or school uniform and sweat profusely, then buy an unattractive and plain swimsuit sold near the beach to wear, of course I had to prepare before the oceanography class started.

… If possible, a swimsuit that would look quite attractive to Ethan.

‘If you have to wear a swimsuit anyway, it wouldn’t be so strange to hope that Ethan would look at you and compliment you on how pretty you are.’

Of course, in the process, there was a high possibility that I would show my swimsuit to the other men at the warrior party, so I couldn’t just wear a sexy swimsuit. Because that was against my virginity, where I swore not to show my naked body to any man other than Ethan.

Since we had to choose a swimsuit of the appropriate level that would catch Ethan’s attention without being too flashy, today we were planning to walk around the Academy shopping district with a special member composition that was a little different from usual.

Since this is a swimsuit to show to Ethan, of course Ethan is excluded. Also, showing my swimsuit to a man other than Ethan first is also an act that goes against my virginal beliefs, so of course I exclude it.

In that case, I would have to call in the more reliable women among the remaining female connections, but in my line, there were at most two women who would come when I called them.

… Among them, there is only one woman who takes the same oceanography class as me.

“I’m going to look at swimsuits today, Miss Agnes.”

“Swimsuit?”

“Yes. Since we have an oceanography class in a week, we need to prepare swimsuits, right? I think it would be better to find out in advance what the swimsuit is like from each other’s perspectives rather than choosing it alone.”

“… You can just pick with that stupid Blackwood guy. Do you really need to walk around with me?”

“What are you saying, Miss Agnes? Does it make sense to buy a swimsuit with Master Ethan to show him? For things like this, the woman who prepares separately is more likely to surprise the man later.”

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Agnes was just stating the truth as a typical heroine, but for some reason, Agnes looked at me with a strange look that seemed as if I was dumbfounded.

It seemed like she didn’t understand it because it was probably a story between me and Ethan, so she gave me a customized explanation from Agnes’ point of view to make it easier for her to understand.

“For example, when Miss Agnes buys underwear, she doesn’t buy it together with Prince Antonio, right? It’s similar to that.”

“… Why does his name suddenly appear? And I just wear underwear sent by Elizabeth’s family, so I don’t really care, right?”

“… … Yes?”

“In the first place, underwear isn’t just for show. Are you the kind of person who buys and wears underwear to show Blackwood?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Of course, in my case, I knit the lace myself rather than buy it and wear it… .”

“Yes, I know very well that you guys are an idiot couple that has already gone as far as you can.”

“… … .”

Well, wasn’t things going well with Agnes and Antonio?

Of course, considering Agnes’ personality, she wouldn’t have gone to bed already, but I still thought she would be a little agitated when Antonio’s name came up.

It was a bit embarrassing for me to see Agnes completely unfazed even though I intentionally mentioned his name openly.

“Well, since you’ve already come out like this, I’ll at least help you choose your underwear.”

“It’s not underwear, it’s a swimsuit, Miss Agnes.”

“ or that. Anyway, the part that is covered is the same.”

“And not only will I choose my swimsuit, but I will also choose Miss Agnes’ swimsuit. That’s what we gathered together today in the first place.”

“… Mine too?”

Then, did you really think we would just pick out my swimsuit and then part ways?

I nodded and responded to Agnes, who slightly tilted her head and pointed at me.

“Then you really meant to take the oceanography exploration class without taking it? No matter how much I say that Agnes’s body is not one that could attract a man’s lust, it is too manly.”

“Who goes around naked? Who is a pervert like you? Wait, what? What’s wrong with a man’s lust?”

“But that’s right. How many men in the world would have lust after purely looking at Agnes’ body?

Based on the body below the chin, the breasts are smaller than the protruding nose, and the buttocks are smaller than the protruding back of the head. On the contrary, the only men who have lust after seeing Agnes naked are those with a slightly dangerous nature. No… .”

-Quaak!

“Aaaah!”

While Agnes was listening to me, she suddenly stretched out her arms and grabbed my chest.

She was clearly nervous and was clenching with all her grip, so I couldn’t help but let out a painful groan out of my mouth reflexively.

“This, this… ! Gee, you think you can say anything as long as your breasts are big?!”

“Now, wait a minute, Miss Agnes… ! sick! It hurts if you squeeze it that hard! Miss Agnes has never been captured, so you might not know… .”

“I’m dying!! Get rid of this vulgar lump of fat and die… !!”

“Ah, okay! sorry! Because I was wrong… !”

Agnes was really pulling at my heart with the force of tearing it away if I left her alone, so I had no choice but to quickly apologize.

… To be honest, I was just stating an objective fact, but I didn’t really understand why he was so angry.

-widely!

“Ha, ha, ha… .”

“Ugh… . Ah, it hurts, Miss Agnes… .”

“I said it hurts!”

“Ah, anyway, that’s what I’m trying to say. Since Agnes’ body is so boring when seen from men’s eyes, it is better to wear a properly pretty swimsuit at times like this so that other people will not be able to ignore Agnes.”

“… … ?”

Agnes was tilting her head as if she was having trouble understanding what I was saying, so it seemed necessary to properly explain to her the meaning of a woman’s swimsuit.

“First of all, a swimsuit is basically a costume that clings to the body, right?”

“… … Yes.”

“Ms. Agnes’s poor body, which was usually covered by a thick uniform and skirt, had no choice but to be openly revealed… .”

-Ugh.

“… Let me correct you. This outfit can be said to be a fatal weakness for Agnes, as it inevitably exposes her underdeveloped body. So, Agnes’ swimsuit is more likely to hide her body rather than reveal it… .”

-Quaak!

“Aaaah! Why again?! You corrected it!”

“It was better not to do it! Poor?! Is it underdeveloped?! Lilith, are you deliberately picking a fight from earlier?!”

“Now that’s it, stop grabbing my chest! The story doesn’t progress at all!”

“That’s because you keep making me angry!”

Every time I say a word, Agnes is unable to control her own heat and expresses her anger at me.

Agnes also thought that her personality had improved a little compared to the original, but it seemed that this fiery hysteria was a symptom that could not be cured.
