“Snow, over here, over here!”
“On!”
Aisha ran through the shallow part of the lake, splashing water everywhere, while Snow chased after her.
From time to time, Aisha stopped, scooped up some water, and splashed it at Snow.
As if returning the favor, Snow skillfully used her tail to splash water back.
“Haa… this feels so refreshing, I feel alive again.”
Licorice floated on the water with her arms and legs spread out.
It felt extremely pleasant, and the expression on her face looked completely melted with relaxation.
And Sofia…
“Hehe, it’s cool and feels wonderful.”
“Y-yeah… it really does.”
She was standing in the water up to her knees, showing her white skin to me.
To be precise… she was wearing a swimsuit.
The color was white.
There was a bold cut on the back.
It was a swimsuit that somehow felt contradictory—both elegant and rather provocative at the same time.
But it suited Sofia very well.
Because it suited her so well, it was embarrassing to look directly at her, and I couldn’t help but avert my eyes.
I was surprised when she suggested we bathe in the water together…
But since she said we would wear swimsuits, it made sense.
Still, it was embarrassing in its own way.
“Fate, what do you think of my swimsuit? Does it not suit me…?”
“Huh? Ah, yeah… i-it suits you really well.”
“Then why won’t you look at me?”
“Well, that’s because…”
“Here!”
“Wah!?”
She suddenly hugged me.
When she does that while wearing a swimsuit, the… sensation becomes even more intense than usual.
“Hehe. Are you perhaps feeling shy?”
“Um…”
“I’m happy. That you’re looking at me that way, Fate.”
“Isn’t that something you should be angry about?”
“The person I like paying attention to me… as a woman, that makes me very happy, you know?”
Is that how it works?
“So… what do you think of me in my swimsuit?”
“Um, well… you’re really beautiful, but also cute, and somehow… it’s just… the best!”
“Hehe, thank you very much.”
Apparently satisfied, Sofia moved away from me.
Then she started splashing water at me.
“Wah!”
“Since we’re taking a water bath, Fate, you should enjoy it too.”
“…You’re right.”
A sight that’s bad for the eyes…
Or rather, happiness?
Even so, I decided not to worry about it.
Let’s just enjoy this time right now.
…After all, once we go to the royal capital, we might not have time like this anymore.
“Take this!”
“Kyaa, you did it now! Mmm… take this!”
“W-whoa!”
We started splashing water at each other.
It was such a simple thing, yet it was so fun that smiles kept overflowing.
“Good grief.”
At some point, Licorice was floating along using an inner tube, watching us with a wry smile.
“Those two never change, no matter when or where.”
“Papa and Mama get along so well!”
“On!”
“That’s not it, Aisha. That kind of thing is…”
“A lovey-dovey couple?”
“That’s not quite it either. Those two are beyond a lovey-dovey couple… yes, they’re a super lovey-dovey couple!!!”
“Oooh.”
Perhaps she felt the force of Licorice’s declaration, because Aisha started clapping her hands enthusiastically…
“Please don’t teach my daughter strange things!”
“Gyaah!?”
Sofia, who had clearly been listening the whole time, sent a blast of water flying—
And Licorice was blown away by it.
