NOVEL WEB Chapter 86
86. Feeling Like A harem, Huh?
We came to a small beach in the southern part of the royal capital.
Since it’s not a tourist spot and we’re out of season, there aren’t many people around.
Besides us, there are maybe a dozen or so others.
I quickly changed into my swimsuit and stepped out onto the beach.
It seems the women are still changing, and after a while, Lilith and Alice were the first to come out.
They each wore a bikini, one red and the other blue.
Their healthy and refreshing allure radiated from their well-endowed chests, slender waists, cute hips, and long limbs.
Both of them are beautiful—
I can’t help but stare.
“This is really a bit embarrassing…”
Alice fidgets, holding her chest with both hands.
But striking that pose only makes the flesh of her chest peek out between her arms, making it even sexier.
“I’m embarrassed too, but… still…”
Lilith blushes as she pushes out her chest, which bounces lightly.
“I’m doing my best…”
She mutters, glancing at me.
“For Haruto, right? How sweet~”
“Wha!? No, it’s not like that… um, well…”
At Alice’s remark, Lilith’s face turns bright red.
And then,
“Was it really okay for me to join you…?”
Next, Jeanette-san, dressed in an orange pareo, arrives.
She looks somewhat uncomfortable.
After that, Lilith and Alice had half-forced Jeanette-san to join them.
“Why not? We can hang out together sometimes.”
“This is my first time playing with Jeanette-san. I’m looking forward to it~”
Alice and Lilith are excited.
“I haven’t been to the beach in a swimsuit since I was a student… It’s a bit embarrassing.”
Jeanette-san shyly says.
Surprisingly, she seems to have a slender appearance but possesses a fuller bust than you’d expect.
My gaze is fixed on her ample chest, swaying with every move.
Is this what they call mature charm… gulp.
“…Haruto? What are you staring at…?”
Lilith glares at me.
“N-No, it’s not like that…”
I hastily averted my eyes.
“Do you like big chests after all… I wish mine were…”
No, Lilith, yours is big enough, I think.
Just as I was thinking that, the remaining three—Salome, Luca, and Ivy—arrived.
“You all have such great figures. And big chests… ugh, someday I’ll…”
Ivy looks enviously at Lilith and the others.
She’s wearing a separate-type swimsuit.
Since she’s about twelve or thirteen years old, her body line is still immature compared to Lilith and the others.
While it’s too early for her to exude sensuality, her almost flat figure has a charm appropriate for her age.
“It’s okay. Ivy, you’re still growing.”
Luca consoles her in a calm tone.
She’s wearing a dark navy one-piece swimsuit.
I remember thinking that this design was similar to the school-designated swimsuit from my swimming classes.
“Thank you, big sis. Oh, and your modest chest is also lovely. It’s not just about size, you know.”
“…That’s a bit rude.”
“Oh, uh, s-sorry, big sis!”
Hmm, noisy.
“Ivy didn’t mean any harm, Luca.”
Sarome laughs, trying to ease the tension.
She’s wearing a bikini with very little fabric.
Her ample chest bounces endlessly.
“I’m not really mad. Big breasts get in the way when swinging a sword, so this size is just right.”
“Haruto-kun seems to like big breasts, though.”
“Wha…”
Luca freezes at Sarome’s sly grin.
“Hahaha, you do care after all.”
“…Haruto likes big breasts…”
Luca looks somewhat shocked.
“Well, uh, I think there’s something good about both big and small ones. Everyone’s different, and that’s what makes it great.”
I tried to follow up.
“Even small ones… are okay?”
“Y-Yeah.”
Luca’s gaze was oddly intense, and I found myself feeling a bit overwhelmed.
“Haha, sorry, I teased you too much, Luca.”
Sarome chuckles apologetically.
──And so, our beach outing began with that atmosphere.
“Hey, want to race?”
Prompted by Lilith, we lined up and started swimming.
“The water’s so cool and refreshing.”
“Yeah, the weather’s perfect.”
We swam, laughing together.
Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to the sea.
Probably since a family trip when I was a kid.
Before I knew it, I got so into swimming.
It was more like competitive swimming than leisurely.
…Maybe I got a bit too into it.
I got carried away and ended up bumping into someone ahead of me.
I felt something soft against my face.
“Eek, aaaaahhh!?”
A cute scream echoed.
“S-Sorry.”
I quickly lifted my face from the water and apologized, realizing something.
Huh? Did I just bump into…
“H-H-Haruto Rivaaa!”
My eyes met Ivy’s, who had turned bright red.
I probably bumped into her butt.
“How indecent! You pervert!”
“Haruto… do you like butts more than breasts…?”
Lilith, who had caught up, gave me a sideways glance.
No, that’s not it.
It’s not like that.
“You were aiming for my butt, weren’t you! You ‘Eros Sniper Targeting Women’s Bodies’!”
“I wasn’t aiming! And stop giving me weird titles!”
“Well, you seem to get along with Ivy better than I thought.”
Lilith said.
“We do not!”
Ivy immediately retorted.
“Haruto-san… you seem to be admired by many more women than I thought… I wonder if that means there are a lot of rivals…”
Jeanette-san, who was swimming nearby, muttered quietly.
Rivals, what are you talking about?
And it doesn’t seem like Ivy admires me at all…
“You’re feeling like you’re in a harem, aren’t you? You’ve got a goofy grin on your face.”
Sarome said with a smirk.
“N-No, I’m not.”
“Or are you grinning from an erotic feeling? How lewd.”
“Then you really did bump into me on purpose with indecent intentions…!”
Ivy was furious.
“N-No, it’s a misunderstanding, I swear!”
I screamed in a panic.
