Swimming In The Sea
It doesn’t take long to choose swimsuits for men. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
However, the same can’t be said for women, so I was waiting under the store’s eaves while staring at the sea.
All a man needs is a pair of shorts, so I just picked a pair of shorts with my favorite color and put them on.
And as expected, having your upper body naked all the time will make it cold, so I take out an outerwear from my subspace and put it on.
If I were to have a beautiful and great body, I could have confidently shown my body without having to wear something like this.
「I, I kept you waiting」
A little while, as I was absentmindedly staring at the horizon. Arte finally came out of the store.
Looking back, Arte was standing there with her light purple hair tied up.
Her white nape, reflecting the sunlight, is generously exposed and looks really dazzling.
She is wearing a primarily white swimsuit, decorated with blue frills in places.
Just changing her hairstyle and clothing a little also changes her impression like this?
Behind Arte is the store’s female employee with an unusually radiant expression on her face.
She had a very satisfied look on her face, she probably thoroughly messed with her.
「S, say, do I look strange?」
Arte looks up at me and asks while fidgeting.
Still, even for the active Arte, I guess she also feels embarrassed about exposing herself wearing such a swimsuit. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The female employee behind her is giving off this intense pressure like she is saying ‘You better praise her properly’, it’s scary.
「It’s not strange, you look beautiful in that. You look like a princess from somewhere looking like that」
「N, n, no way it’s like that ja! Come on, I’m going to the sea!」
When I gave her my impression, Arte suddenly took off running with a complicated expression on her face, a mixture of embarrassment and panic.
「Wait wait. You have to wear sunscreen to other areas of your body as well since you’re wearing a swimsuit」
「The employee already did it earlier!」
She replied with a somewhat desperate reply when I chased and warned her.
Reflexively looking back, the female employee was smiling while giving me a thumbs up.
Of course, I didn’t get that kind of service, but I guess it was a personal service.
At least I feel relieved to know she already had someone apply sunscreen on her body.
When it comes to women, giving them excessive praise is just right. I heard this from a senpai at work so I just tried it out, but I don’t know whether it was good or bad.
Only, I understand that her eyes went red when I looked at her from behind, so she might feel embarrassed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I chase after Arte, who took off running at full speed to the sea.
She landed on the water with her feet and continued until the deeper part.
The water gradually rises from her fet until it finally covers up her chest.
「Fuaaー! I knew it, it feels good to soak your whole body in water!」
The embarrassment from before has probably blown away due to the excitement of being in the sea. Arte raises her voice, sounding as if she feels good.
「Yeah, being in the sea on such a hot day is the best」
There were no such things as summer vacations for me since I worked in a black company. Even if I got a short holiday, it was fleeting, spent in a haze of sleep to shake off the usual fatigue and lack of rest.
This happened over and over again, and I never got the chance to go to the sea even once since I started working.
I had been trying to avoid thinking about it since I’ve been so busy, but it feels really great now that I tried it after such a long time.
The scenery is also good, different from going to the bath or pool and the space is incomparable. You will understand the feeling of exhilaration once you actually go to the sea.
「By the way, I suddenly got curious ja, are there no monsters in the sea?」
「Nope, there are」
「Whaatt!? Then this is dangerous, isn’t it!?」
Arte looked startled when I said that.
What a funny kid to have such doubts and panic after entering the water.
「It’s fine. Look, you can see black pillars at a distance, right? The area we are in is surrounded by a mesh-patterned cage so monsters can not enter」
「So, we are like birds in a cage.....」
Arte muttered with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Her side profile looked very lonely.
「The sea does not belong to humans alone after all」
Although it will be great if we can swim freely anywhere, the sea does not belong to us alone.
Even in my previous world, where there were no monsters and it was relatively peaceful, there were areas where you couldn’t swim due to dangerous creatures such as sharks living in the sea. There is nothing we can do about that.
「Well, most people won’t go that far anyway, so they probably won’t care about. Rather than that, let’s go swimming!」
「……hey, Kureto. How do people swim in the sea?」
I was confused by the words Arte suddenly said. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Eeh? Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the sea since you can swim?」
「Isn’t it good enough I can get into the sea even if I can’t swim! Are you saying people who can’t swim should not go to the sea!? That is nothing but tyranny ja!」
Arte got angry and hit the water’s surface when I asked such a simple question.
The water scattered as though to express her intense anger.
At any rate, I realized that Arte has an inferiority complex about not being able to swim.
「Yeah. That was a rather poor way of saying it. I’ll properly teach you how to swim」
Arte slightly nodded after I said that while smiling wryly.
●
「O, oohー! This feels pleasant!」
I taught Arte how to swim for a while.
And in no time at all, she was able to master the flutter kick and breaststroke and was swimming.
「I didn’t think you would learn in them in such a short time」
「Fuh, this is nothing for someone like me」
Arte stops swimming and shows me a smug face.
Her speed of learning is amazing.
Apparently, she has simply never swum before and her athletic ability is excellent.
Looking at her like this, it may not be a lie that she is at least an active adventurer. I’ve occasionally seen children or merchants, or nobles acting as adventurers, so she feels similar to that.
However, it’s maddening when she says it’s all down to her own effort.
I even went as far as taking your hand to guide and teach you. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Even though you were in tears as soon as I let go of my hand when you first swam」
「That’s Kureto’s fault ja! You let go of your hand even though you said you’re not ja! You demon!」
Arte replied like that and splashed water on me when I pointed that out in a mumble.
I was slow to react, and my face ended up getting hit by the close-range attack.
「Uwahahaha, look, haven’t you become a little more handsome like that?」
I immediately took revenge on Arte, who was pointing at me and laughing.
「Pehhー! Salty!」
「Hahaha, that’s cause you’re laughing with your mouth wide open」
「Youu, you’ve done it now! Kureto!」
Arte got angry and splashed water on me when I laughed back at her.
Having predicted that, I immediately evade to the side and at the same time, I touch the seawater and cast Magic.
「Subspace――release」
Storing a large amount of seawater in the subspace, I then release it above Arte’s head.
「Wh, what is dhiiiissss!?」
Water poured down Arte’s head, as if a large bucket had been tipped over.
「What was that just now!?」
「It’s an application of my magic」
「That kind of magic is cheating ja! Let’s fight fair and square!」
Losing her temper, Arte splashes water at me using her hands and feet with violent movements.
I didn’t even dodge it this time, but I stored them all in my subspace
「Here, release」
And once enough amount of water had gathered, I dropped it again on Arte’s head. And finally, Arte sulked. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
