“Ah, anyway… . Oh, today I’m going to buy Miss Agnes’ swimsuit… . Of course, mine and someone else’s too… .”

“… okay. Okay, now stop talking about my body in front of me. If you say something like that one more time, I’ll leave.”

“… I understand, Miss Agnes.”

Anyway, it’s really hysterical.

In order to talk about what kind of swimsuit suits you in the first place, you have no choice but to talk about the body, but Agnes was making unreasonable demands in many ways.

I can’t help it. When it comes to Agnes’s height and body, the only way to avoid it is to say it sparingly or to talk about it indirectly.

“But, the other one?”

“Ah, the three of us, not only Agnes and I, but also one other person, decided to go out today to buy swimsuits.”

“… I thought you and I were going out.”

“I was originally going to do that, but I ended up being asked to do it by someone else.”

To be honest, the only person I could call my friend at the academy was Agnes, so of course I was planning on going out today with just the two of us.

The class gap between Seraphine and Seraphine was too big to be friends, and honestly, I felt a bit awkward with Serista, and Lizzie and Lara were not friends, but they just liked me one-sidedly.

I thought Agnes was the only person with whom I could freely review swimsuits, so I was planning on calling only her, but at the request of Seraphine, whom I had ‘coincidentally’ met not long ago, I was given the opportunity to have one person selected as a bonus for today’s swimsuit selection.

“I don’t like it because I’m awkward with other Magic Ministry kids.”

“It’ll probably be okay. First of all, it’s not the Ministry of Magic, and she’s an acquaintance of Miss Agnes.”

“… I know that too?”

“Hello, Lady Lilith! And Lady Agnes!”

“… Natalie?”

Agnes turns her head at the sudden appearance of a female swordsman with orange hair, calling her name.

It was the moment when Natalie, still in fashion and showing off her healthy 11-figure abs, appeared in front of us, vigorously shaking her ponytail.

I don’t know what on earth I was doing, my whole body was covered in sweat.

“Hello, Ms. Natalie.”

“… Was the other person Natalie?”

“Sorry for keeping you both waiting! A little while ago, I came back from an intense workout with Thomas that made me sweaty. .”

“… Are you saying that you sparred with Mr. Thomas until you were exhausted in the sparring hall?”

“Yes, Lady Lilith.”

It was a way of speaking that made Thomas startle and deny it when he heard it.

“Buy a swimsuit with him? The only thing on my mind is a sword and sparring?”

“Yes? What do you mean by swimsuit? I received nothing from Princess Seraphine except that I had to meet Lady Lilith and Lady Agnes today… .”

… He said he was asking me for Natalie, but it didn’t seem like he actually explained the situation properly. Or maybe Seraphine tried to explain the situation in her own way, but Natalie just overheard it.

I think Seraphine probably had her own circumstances. Usually, when it comes to choosing a swimsuit, there are people like me who choose it in secret and then reveal it at the beach, while there are also people who use swimsuit shopping itself as an excuse to go out on a date.

If you had a partner like me or Agnes, there was no need to choose a swimsuit on a date, but Seraphine has two formidable competitors.

Even if it turns out to be a harem date with just one guy, I’m going to try my best to secure the spot next to that guy, so I guess he asked me to take care of Natalie, who might get in the way.

In the process of suggesting to the warrior to go look at swimsuits, one or two people get involved and say, ‘Why don’t we just go look at the girls together?’ To prevent the same words from being said.

“Actually, I was asked to do this by Princess Seraphine. While choosing my swimsuit, how about picking out Natalie’s swimsuit as well?”

“Do you mean my swimsuit?”

“Yes. Miss Natalie, you are also taking an oceanography exploration class with the warrior Gomjoshegigot this time, right? Choosing a swimsuit to wear at the beach is a woman’s most basic behavior, so you’ll need to see it from other people’s perspectives.”

“Oh, I’m fine. Actually, I have a swimsuit that I have been wearing since I was young, so there is no need to buy a new one… .”

“Since when were you a child, Miss Natalie?”

“It was about 7 years ago now… . It was around when I was about fourteen!”

“If it’s that old, it’s time to buy something new. You must have grown in height and breasts since you were fourteen, but do you really think that the swimsuit from back then will still fit you?”

“… … .”

When I brought up the topic of height and breasts, I felt like all eyes were on Agnes, but it was a topic that had to be said at least once and passed on.

First of all, in 『Luminor Academy』, the design of the swimsuit changes drastically when the main character intervenes and when he does not, but as other characters may not know, these two wear swimsuits that will inevitably make the viewer feel sorry if they are not chosen correctly.

The main character had to somehow intervene when it came to Natalie and Agnes’ swimsuits in order to avoid seeing a girl wearing a swimsuit that was so tight on her breasts and buttocks that it looked like it would burst at any moment, or a black one-piece swimsuit with a name tag that seemed to have been made for a specific group of enthusiasts.

“Anyway, you can’t go home today until both Natalie and Agnes buy at least one swimsuit. I will choose swimsuits that perfectly match your bodies.”

“… Like that.”

“Ah, I understand! Please take care of me, Lady Lilith!”

It was the beginning of a journey to choose swimsuits for two people who seemed to have no interest in seducing men at all.

There are two main places in the shopping district of 『Luminor Academy』 where you can buy swimsuits for female characters.

Although it is close to the Academy, there is one clothing store that does not have a wide range of products and most of them seem to focus on cost-effectiveness.

And there is a clothing store a little further away from the Academy that sells comprehensive clothing, and although the prices are a little higher, the quality of the products is much better.

Of course, there are other clothing stores besides these two, but these were the only ones that sold clothes that were enchanted with ‘waterproof magic’ and could properly function as swimsuits.

“Lady Lilith? I think I saw a swimsuit in that store! Let’s buy it quickly and return to the academy!”

“No, I don’t buy it there. Today, the two of us will buy swimsuits at “Amour Ange Boutique” in the center of the shopping district.”

“Yes, yes?! Well, isn’t that a pretty expensive store?! I’m sorry, but I can’t afford to buy clothes at a store like that… .”

“… Is it really necessary to buy something so expensive if you only wear it for a week? If it’s not too weird, you can just do as he said and buy anything from the store earlier… .”

“If it’s a waste of money, I can buy it for you. Do you find it such a waste to invest money in yourself?”

“… I didn’t mean it that way.”

“Sorry, sorry!”

… How can you take kids like these to go swimsuit shopping?

In Natalie’s case, since she came from a commoner background, I could understand her worries about money to some extent, but I never thought Agnes would be like this too.

It was a moment where I realized once again how little interest he had in decorating as he was introduced from the perspective of a friend rather than the main character.

“… First of all, Miss Natalie had planned to buy it from the beginning with the money she received from Princess Seraphine. There is a gold coin that Princess Seraphine gave me to take good care of Miss Natalie.”

“Is that so…? ? Ha, but I can’t receive favor from the princess like that… .”

“Please file your complaint with the princess later, not with me.”

“… … .”

Of course, there was no way Natalie, a commoner, could complain to the princess just because she bought her a swimsuit, so in other words, it was in line with the saying, ‘Shut up and follow me.’

“Amour Ange Boutique” where we arrived with two people who seemed so unmotivated.

When we entered the store that Ethan and I had visited once before, a female employee in a suit greeted us.

“Welcome. Is there something you are looking for?”

“Ah, ah, that, that, that… .”

“… … .”

As soon as you enter the store, several sets of swimsuits are displayed along with full-length hangers in the most noticeable place.

Natalie was very embarrassed and stuttered, probably because she was entering an expensive clothing store, and Agnes was silently avoiding eye contact as if she was uncomfortable with the attention of others, so I, who knew how to speak, had no choice but to send the employee away.

“I came here to look at swimsuits for classes this summer, but if possible, I would like to see them on my own, so could you just tell me where the swimsuits are?”

“Ah, yes. Coincidentally, our store is also offering discounts on summer clothing, including swimsuits, in celebration of the summer season, so feel free to browse here.”

After naturally limiting the store staff’s duties to ‘guiding’, I walked to the swimsuit section with Agnes and Natalie.

… Now was the start of the real war. Because these two people who hate shopping had to wear as many different types of swimsuits as possible and choose the one that suited them best.

“First of all, Natalie said this and this… And would you like to try this on?”

“… Yes?”

“And Miss Agnes said this and this… . Ah, this would suit me too.”

“… What?”

“Just like I told you, you can change your clothes one at a time. In the meantime, I will be looking for other swimsuits that would suit both of us.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Agnes, my best friend at the academy, and Natalie, my favorite character from my past life.

I don’t know about anyone else, but these two people’s swimsuits could never have been chosen in vain.
