Sunscreen


「….. Eleonora, let’s go to the beach」


It’s the morning of the third day since Eleonora and her family came to our mansion.

I made that suggestion to her as soon as I entered her room.


「Sure. What kind of training are we going to do this time?」


Eleonora - who was sitting on the bed - stood up and picked a wooden sword in high spirits.


「......that’s a very attractive idea but, we’re not going to train today」

「Eh? Why?」

「.... I want Eleonora to know about our territory. And besides, I want you to have other memories in our territory aside from training」

「R, right. Since Luna has said that much, then it can’t be helped」


And when I frankly said those to her, Eleonora agreed while her face turned a little red.

Eleonora is unexpectedly weak to a straight ball-like approach.

She’s like Eric in this side of her that makes her endearing this way.


「And so, what are we going to do at the sea?」

「...... how about that harpooning that Eleonora was interested in?」


At the time when we went to the sea on the boat with Al-kun and Sylvio-kun, Eleonora showed an interest in harpooning when we saw it.

This girl likes activities where you move her body so I’m sure she will like it.

I heard that there is no sea near Koryatt village so this should be an experience that can only be done here.


「Okay! Let’s go!」

「…....un


It looks like Eleonora is also eager to do it, we decide to go to the beach and go harpooning as planned.


Ara, are both of you going out somewhere?」


When we left the room, we heard Elna-sama calling out to us as she was in the hallway.

Maybe Elna-sama is also going out, she is wearing a cool-looking one-piece dress and a straw hat.

She should be Eleonora’s mother, but what is with her youthfulness? Mother also looks young, but she can’t be compared to Elna-sama.


「I’m going to the sea with Luna」

「…..… I’m thinking of trying to do harpooning」

「Is that so, the sun is strong at the sea so please be――wait a second」


Elna-sama was smiling gently at us but then she moved ahead of us and told us to stop as if she suddenly noticed something. Amazing, she was so quick I couldn’t see her movement.


「Wha, what is it?」


Elna-sama is repeatedly touching Eleonora’s skin as if checking on something with a serious expression on her face.


「Eleonora, you did not apply sunscreen, do you?」


Even Eleonora - who doesn’t dress up that much - should have applied sunscreen on her as a girl......


「Ahー, it’s that cream-thing? It’s sticky and it feels unpleasant so I didn’t apply it」


Despite thinking like so, I heard something unbelievable from Eleonora’s mouth.

I was startled when I heard that.


「… Eleonora, are you sane?」

In this kind of hot season, she didn’t apply any sunscreen despite the fact that we were going to the beach, it’s the same as committing suicide as a girl.

The sun will burn your skin if you don’t apply sunscreen and you head outside just like that and it will inflict serious damage to your skin.

Even if you are fine right now since you’re young, mother told me that it will be irreversible in a few decades.


「Calling me ‘sane’, that’s exaggerating, Luna」

「….....it’s not an exaggeration. No way, Eleonora. You didn’t apply it yesterday and the day before yesterday too?」

「I applied it on the first day since kaasan forced me to, but I basically didn’t use it other than the first day. I’m not the type of person where my skin will get sunburned」


Hearing what she said, my consciousness seemed to fade away for a moment.

Meaning, even when we were training at the beach, Eleonora didn’t apply any sunscreen.....it’s scary just when I think about it.


Haa.....this is why I’m troubled. Luna-san, can you please look after Eleonora when you girls go to the village?」


Elna-sama’s difficulties, it was easy to understand that she was referring to Eleonora's personal grooming and clothes.


「….....understood. Please leave it to me」

「Eー? What is it? I’m not a kid who needs Luna to take care of me, you know?」


The only one who doesn’t understand the seriousness of the problem - Eleonora - complained about something besides the point.


「Here, this is the sunscreen I use. Please help apply it to Eleonora. And Luna-san can also use it if you’d like」

「........is that okay?」

「Yes」


Elna-sama gave me a small bottle. A faint floral scent of the cream is carefully wrapped in the bottle.

This is definitely a high-class good. And she said I can also use it, what a luxury.

We also have sunscreen, but still, trying new stuff is exciting.


「........now then, Eleonora. Let’s apply the sunscreen」

「Eehー, I’m fine I sayー」

「........no」


I pulled Eleonora’s reluctant hand and decided to go back inside.

I mean, I can’t use it myself if I don’t apply it to Eleonora’s skin properly.
