Chapter 673: Mid-Summer Islands 3
“The Seven Star Archipelago is too fast-moving to swim in. There’s a better island a little further west. There are rocks standing up on the outside of the cove, so even if you tried to look at it through a telescope from a boat, you wouldn’t be able to see it. The cove is also shallow, so you wouldn’t drown”
Galatea draws a rough map on the ground.
“Of course there are no people living there and because it’s well-ventilated, no monsters will appear. It’s my favorite island”
“Even if you like it, you can’t move a boat by yourself. Do you all go there together every time?”
“If you go with the tide, you can get there in a boat from Red Whale. But you have to ask for a merman to send you back by making a merman sign”
“Merman sign?”
“You make a noise in the water. If you hit three times, five times, three times, five times in that order, the mermen around here will come over. And if you pay them a little, they’ll lead the boat for you. Even if there’s a bad current, the mermen can pull the boat through forcefully, so it’s safe”
“That’s amazing……”
I mean, is that how you interact with mermen?
“Actually, my dad would be angry if I did that. He says that if you rely too much on the power of the mermen, you’ll start to underestimate the sea”
“I kind of understand what you mean”
“But we’re doing a deal and I feel bad about moving the Bloody Orca just because I want to swim by myself……don’t you think it’s inevitable?”
“……I’ll refrain from making a comment like I know everything”
Of course, each parent and child has their own circumstances and beliefs and it’s not for me, who has only known them for a few days, to decide which of these should take priority. To begin with, I really can’t answer when you ask me what I know about the sea. I was brought up perfectly on land and I’ve hardly ever even been on a boat.
“Anyway, if that’s the best place to swim and play, then I think it’s fine to go there first”
Anzeros summarizes.
“In the northern forest, if we see each other, we can just wash off”
“Speaking of the northern forest, it’s strangely tolerant of people bathing in the open”
“In the forest, it’s not that common to run into each other. Calling it a crime and pursuing it is also ridiculous”
“I don’t know if you’d call it dead or what”
“When it comes to sex, there has to be some tolerance. Elves are a race with a low sex drive to begin with. If you only avoid such things, you won’t even know how to take off your clothes when the time comes. Well, considering the state of affairs as they are, it’s like pouring water on a hot stone”
“……Ah”
I smile wryly at Irina’s words. In a way, it may be similar to the fact that voyeurism in women’s baths is not considered a serious crime in Poland. In order to create a stable society, it is not good if women indiscriminately invite men, but if men are deprived of the opportunity to respond to women’s charms, both men and women will stop improving themselves. There is a need for a place where women can show off their charms in moderation. Whether it’s active or passive is up to each person.
“If we’re talking about it from that perspective, it’s not fair that women are only seen, is it?”
Gloria folds her arms and makes a mouth in the shape of ヘ. However, Hilda refutes her rather seriously.
“I think that’s a problem with the social structure. If it’s allowed for women to choose and pick men, then men will also become the ones being seen”
“So, in the Northern Forest and everywhere else, women are always the ones who get chosen. There’s nothing we can do about that”
“Well, even if they could choose, it’s hard to compare the value of men just by looking at their naked bodies. Choosing based on the size of their penis is nonsense. It would just give the ogres an unfair advantage”
“Ah, that’s true……even if you choose based on shape, they won’t be standing at attention while you’re bathing. If they’re erect, then they’re gay”
“And even if the penis is ideal, whether you have sex with them or not is a completely different story……”
“Yeah, it’s impossible to choose a man based on his naked body. If we’re talking about whether or not a man has a good body without his dick, then it’s not necessary to peek, because men tend to take their clothes off”
“That’s right. That’s why voyeurism is a difficult thing to cultivate culturally”
Gloria and Hilda, who are both battle-hardened, seem to agree. Then, as if fed up with the somewhat troublesome discussion, Luna sticks close to me and says.
“It doesn’t matter. Andy is the only one we’re going to see or do anything with now anyway”
Everyone laughed at this, but the fact that she had so openly expressed the 「Hidden Meaning」 of the act of 「Going for a swim」 from now on made everyone’s tension rise slightly. Even Galatea seemed to be urging us on.
“L, Look, even if it’s summer now……it’s dangerous and cold to swim after the sun goes down, you know?”
“O……Ou”
We decide to go to the island where her favorite beach is, as she suggested.
If it’s an island that can be reached by boat, it’s not that far away. Of course, with the dragon’s wings, it’s a quick trip. While we were riding in the carriage, Galatea was in high spirits the whole time, while Beatrice was in a bad mood the whole time. While we were in the carriage, Hilda-san cast a spell on the other girls to prevent them from getting sunburned.
“What about you, Andy-kun?”
“What do you mean by ‘what do you do?”
“The other girls don’t want to get sunburned, so I didn’t let them, but with boys, there’s a certain status to getting a tan in the summer, isn’t there?”
“I don’t belong to that culture”
Maybe it’s okay to use things like Talc, but anyway, as a Polka boy, there’s no culture that enjoys getting a tan as a fashion statement. And it hurts when you get sunburned.
“Then, Andy-kun, you should use sunscreen, too. ────!”
Hilda casts a spell. Galatea is already lightly tanned, so she looks at her own arms and other parts of her body and worries a little.
“I wonder……if it’s cuter not to get sunburned……”
“Especially white elves are prone to getting red sunburn. It’s a little different from someone like you who can get a natural tan☆”
“I, I see”
“I think you’re cute in your own way. Well, you’d probably turn white really quickly in Polka’s miraculous spring”
“Eh, a, ah, the healing spring that you say you use without drugs?”
“It cures everything except drugs, but sunburn is apparently considered a traumatic injury. It’s not like dark elves turn white”
Ah, is that so? ……I didn’t really understand that part before.
“I, I see……I’m starting to get interested. It’s impossible to stay in Lapal without getting sunburned……”
“Huhu. Do you want to come? It’s interesting, Polka☆”
What are you doing, Hilda-san?
When they got out of the carriage, Galatea jumped out first and spread her arms out as if she were dancing on the white sandy beach.
“Here! This is my beach!”
“Oh……it’s nice”
It’s no wonder she’s so proud of it. The sand on the beach has a strange feel to it, different from the sand of the desert. Well, it’s the same as the Red Whale, but the location, with its beautiful arc, shallow beach and rocky islands dotted about in just the right places like screens, is certainly perfect for swimming.
“But there’s no good shade. ……I’ll make a shelter for you”
Laila said as she was still in dragon form and then she stretched out one wing and sat cross-legged. A shadow was created, but wouldn’t it be painful to stretch out one wing all the way?
“Or rather, aren’t you going to swim?”
“Ho, I’m not a child who would be happy frolicking in the sea now. ……More importantly, how long are you going to keep wearing clothes, Master?”
“Eh?”
“All the other girls have taken theirs off”
When I turned around, the female slaves had all started to take off their clothes at once, as if they couldn’t bear to be wearing them.
“Just because there’s no one around……you’re so quick to get excited”
“Well, it’s hot out. I guess they can’t help themselves when they get into the water”
The blue clan of the northern elves are said to wear a unique kind of underwear that they tighten around their hips when they go into the sea, but it’s rather unusual to have a culture where people have special clothes for going into the sea like that. Basically, when it comes to swimming, everyone is naked. And none of my female slaves are thoughtless enough to say 「I don’t want to get naked, so I won’t swim」. Rather, even if they don’t swim, they get naked. On the bright white beach, where the direct sunlight is blocked by the black dragon’s wings, the girls’ naked bodies line up. Irina, Fennel, Anzeros and Aurora, who are waiting for me, joyfully get naked. Luna and Maia undress matter-of-factly. Hilda and Gloria don’t hesitate to undress while chatting. Emma, Neia and Beatrice undress hesitantly, pushed along by the momentum of those around them. And what about Galatea?
“……Uh……e, eii!”
She looks around a little nervously, then quickly undoes her waistband and throws off her loincloth with a flourish. She then quickly takes off her underwear, as if to throw it away and, as if to test her courage or something, she stands there naked, and gives me a slightly strained smile.
“It’s only the second time! Everyone’s naked anyway, so just look as much as you like!”
“……Emm, I guess I’ll look. I’ll look a lot”
Galatea knows that I was having a sex life that was in tatters with the Red Whale during my last stay. And even so, she showed an interest in me. She showed it.
She has fallen into the classic trap of 「Ttype that isn’t around me」 that country girls fall for.
In the months before I arrived, she must have made up her mind to do something crazy. Should I try to talk her out of it? I thought about it for a while.
“Can I see it from the backside too?”
“Uee!? I, I……I guess so”
Well, apart from that, I decided to take my time and have a good look at her naked body. Her beautiful golden hair and tail, which looked a little stiff in the sea breeze and the contrast between her tanned teenage body and her tight naked body were both very appealing.
“It’s so close!”
“……Can I touch your butt?”
“……Le, Let me think about it for a bit”
