When we returned from the temple of the Asgard Holy Church, where the Thanksgiving Concert was held, Freya, who had shed her disguise and returned to her adventurer attire, and Swan Hilda, who had rescued her, were waiting in the lobby of the “Diva’s Melody Inn.”
“You took an awfully long time. Did something happen?”
“I had a bit of a run-in with an usurious lender to whom Solange and Mariel owed money, and with a representative from the Bashle Company… In the end, I got their debt waived.”
“Well, that’s a reasonable outcome.”
“By the way, is Freya okay?”
“I-I’m managing… My throat hurts, and my whole body is sore…”
“Well, it’s understandable that your body would ache when Freya, who has never truly sung before, had to perform as a Diva on the spot…”
“Yes…”
Since there were other people in the inn lobby, we moved to the room we had rented.
The incident in the Old Kingdom of Vandis was completely unexpected, but I was inwardly proud that it had reached the best possible conclusion.
“‘The Downtown Princess’ is ‘The Diva of Serenity,’ you say… Hmph, it makes me laugh.”
“For one who is supposed to be ‘The Priestess of Seals,’ to be so immodest…”
Upon returning to the room, Elise and Freya immediately began their usual verbal sparring.
The remaining Party Members simply watched with interest.
Just then, there was a gentle knock at the door—knock, knock, knock.
“Yes, please come in!? The door isn’t locked, so you can enter… Oh, it’s Solange and Mariel.”
“Good evening. Regarding the thanks I mentioned earlier, could you please come to the shallow coast on the outer edge leading to Vandis Castle tomorrow morning, just before sunrise? Also, please prepare lunch.”
“Is that place the one with the small island visible just ahead?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“And what will be there?”
“That will be a surprise for tomorrow… Well then, we’ll take our leave for today.”
“Thank you, everyone.”
A life debt repaid, and to top it off, an invitation to a picnic tomorrow with our debt waived? We, the Party Members of “Princess Harem,” exhausted from the Thanksgiving Concert, went to sleep.
The next morning, we woke up before sunrise and, carrying the bento that we had asked the innkeeper to prepare last night, we walked towards the shallow coast designated by Solange.
As we passed by the stables, the two horses that had carried us whinnied, as if to say they missed traveling.
We planned to return home after receiving the thanks from Solange and Mariel.
The itinerary was largely on schedule and would not worry Alicia and the others who remained.
And when we arrived at the designated spot, a new miracle had appeared.
The tide had gone out, revealing a “sea road” leading to the small island offshore.
The path was made of pure white sand, much like a wedding aisle.
The surrounding sea was calm, and looking into the clear water, schools of tropical fish swam among colorful coral reefs, creating a scene reminiscent of paradise.
“Good morning, everyone. It’s quite a beautiful place, isn’t it? I’ve only seen it once before when I was young—My heart is pounding.”
“Good morning. Sister, it’s so beautiful… I have no memory of this place at all.”
“Good morning, Solange and Mariel.”
As we were captivated by the beautiful scenery, Solange and Mariel, who had apparently been waiting, appeared, and we exchanged morning greetings.
“So, what is the plan for today?”
“Yes, today we will take this ‘sea road’ to the small island offshore. Originally, the island was under the direct jurisdiction of the Vandis Royal Family and had a resort facility and a private beach… However, until yesterday, it was impossible to get close due to strong currents.”
“This sounds like it will be a memorable experience, everyone.”
“Yes, Hal.”
After hearing the day’s schedule from Solange, we crossed the “sea road” and landed on the small island offshore.
The island seemed to be formed from a giant reef, with most of the coast being cliffs, but the part connected to the “sea road” and the private beach were shallow sandy areas.
Upon landing, we found dense trees and fruit-bearing plants.
Near the summit, we could see a stylish stone building.
However, since it had been left unattended for a long time, the interior was dilapidated, but it was sufficient for resting.
“Thank you for your efforts, everyone. Once you’ve left your luggage, you’re free to explore. I recommend playing on the sandy beach of the Vandis Royal Family’s private beach. Also, Hal, Mariel and I will entertain you, so please come with us.”
“Everyone, have fun.”
We deposited our luggage at the Vandis Royal Family’s resort facility and decided to explore freely.
Solange recommended playing in the water at the private beach, and I was to be entertained by Solange and Mariel.
“Heh heh heh. Just in case something like this happened, I prepared swimsuits.”
“It’s not fair that only Kirika has them!!”
“Don’t worry, Swan Hilda. I’ve prepared enough for everyone, and also for Liliana and Shera.”
It seems that shortly after the “Princess Harem” adventurer party decided to visit the coastal Old Kingdom of Vandis, a secret group led by Kirika had been secretly procuring swimsuits.
Furthermore, they had meticulously prepared extra swimsuits, altered to fit Liliana and Shera, who joined them on this trip.
Interestingly, Solange and Mariel had also prepared swimsuits, which left us dumbfounded.
Then, each of us received our swimsuits from Kirika and dispersed to change.
“I’m simultaneously looking forward to and dreading seeing their swimsuits… It was difficult enough at the ‘Bath Meeting’ to wash each person fairly with soap and loofah sponges… I also heard that seawater baths involve the ordeal of applying sunburn oil…”
The swimsuit I received from Kirika was a pair of blue swimming trunks, so I was the first to finish changing and waited in the lobby, which we had designated as the meeting place.
Perhaps feeling relaxed, I started muttering to myself.
“Kirika, thank you.”
“Kirika, you’re amazing, truly amazing.”
“My coordination is perfect, isn’t it? You should praise me more.”
Next to appear were Mai, Shera, and Kirika. They were all wearing cute, differently colored swimsuits with frills attached to the bust and waistlines, in pale blue, pale yellow, and pale pink fabrics respectively.
Shera’s swimsuit, in particular, had a hole for her tail to pass through.
Shera’s tail wagged energetically, suggesting she was in a good mood.
“With this swimsuit, Hal’s heart will be mine. Ufufu.”
Third was Elise, wearing a navy-blue one-piece swimsuit. A white fabric with the name “Elise” embroidered on it was attached to the bust.
It was as expected that her breasts bounced with each step, and the cut of the waist emphasized her curves.
As one of the individuals who had been looking for swimsuits with Kirika, I wondered what the meaning of the fabric on her chest was.
“Why are our swimsuits so provocative… Is Elise the mastermind?”
“Swan Hilda, that’s not the case.”
“How is it not? Kirika.”
“The one who chose those swimsuits was Edele, from the remaining group.”
“What? Ede-nee?! Why?”
“Apparently, she was worried because Jumi-chan’s body is alluring, but she hasn’t had her ‘First Night Ritual’ yet.”
“And that’s why the swimsuits are so provocative… Ede-nee is too much of a busybody!!”
“Well, you’ll just have to accept it and wear it.”
Fourth was Swan Hilda.
While the bold floral pattern was nice, the cleavage of her bust was so deep that her abundant breasts looked like they were about to spill out.
Feeling embarrassed, I lowered my gaze and noticed that the fabric around the crotch was V-shaped, making even the usually bold Swan Hilda look shy.
Hearing the behind-the-scenes story of how this swimsuit was chosen from Kirika, Swan Hilda seemed to have a somewhat reckless air.
“My swimsuit is practically just underwear?! For now, I’ll wrap a towel around my waist.”
Fifth was Freya, wearing a two-piece swimsuit, separated into a bra and panties.
The swimsuit was white and light blue stripes, and while the shape was good, her small breasts were contained within the bra.
She had a green towel wrapped around her waist, effectively concealing her crotch.
“My swimsuit has the most mature design among everyone’s.”
“Please cherish it, it’s one of my spares.”
“Thank you, Elise.”
Sixth was Liliana, also wearing a two-piece swimsuit like Freya.
However, the swimsuit was black, creating an aura of a mature woman.
Or so I thought, but it turned out to be one of Elise’s spare swimsuits.
Liliana’s breasts were smaller than Elise’s or Swan Hilda’s, but larger than Freya’s, with a conical shape. The contrast between her décolletage and her twin mounds was beautiful.
And Liliana, who was devastatingly beautiful, wore a complex expression of melancholy or perhaps shame, which was sure to tempt any man.
“Sister, this swimsuit… it’s embarrassing…”
“It’s alright, Mariel. It’s the same as mine, isn’t it? Besides, this is the type of swimsuit that noblewomen wear.”
“But Sister, you stand out from everyone else.”
“Adventurers tend to like flashy things, don’t they?”
“Th-truly, do you think so?”
Just as I thought this was the end, Solange and Mariel entered.
Their swimsuits were pure white, made of abundant, thin fabric.
This type of swimsuit was common among noblewomen and was designed to minimize skin exposure, but it was not practical for swimming.
In other words, it was an outfit intended for playing at the water’s edge, and when submerged, the fabric would cling to the skin, and even worse, the breasts and crotch area would become sheer, making it, in a certain sense, the most dangerous swimsuit.
“Everyone’s here, then. Let’s begin your free exploration. When you hear the temple bells signaling noon, return here for lunch. Now, Hal, please come with us.”
With everyone changed into their swimsuits, the free exploration began.
The Party Members of “Princess Harem” rushed towards the private beach as if competing, leaving only myself, Solange, and Mariel behind.
“Well then, Hal, no, Hal-sama, please come with us. Mariel, don’t get separated.”
“Okay, Sister.”
We also left the resort facility, ignoring the path to the private beach, and proceeded along a narrow path next to it.
“Where are we going? There’s a forest ahead.”
“That’s our destination. We’re almost there.”
After walking for a while, we found a crack in the forest.
And near the center of the crack was a cave.
The cave was just large enough for one person to stoop and pass through.
“Hal-sama, we’re going inside.”
“Sister, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, Mariel. Let’s go in, Hal-sama.”
We entered the cave in the order of Solange, myself, and Mariel.
The cave was surprisingly narrow, and some parts were slippery. There was even a spot with flowing spring water, making it a mini-adventure.
However, it wasn’t completely dark; the walls emitted a faint light.
The moss growing on the walls was likely a type of luminous moss.
“Hal-sama, we have arrived at our destination.”
“This place is surprisingly spacious. The floor is covered with white sand? It’s like a secret base.”
“Sister, how did you know about this place?”
“When I was an apprentice maid at the royal palace, a senior maid taught me about it.”
The cave, cleverly hidden within the forest, was narrow at the entrance, but this place, which Solange called her destination, was a small hideaway.
Furthermore, by the time we advanced through the narrow cave, we were all soaked, and Solange and Mariel’s swimsuits were also wet, making their breasts and crotch areas appear sheer.
But what was in this place? A thank you in such a location…?
“So… where is this? What is this place!?”
“This secret space was a place used by the Vandis Royal Family for love making, and the cave leading here was called the ‘Secret Vagina.’ Hal-sama, as a thank you for saving our lives, please accept our virginity.”
“Isn’t it unfair to Mariel?”
“I-I’m not scared!!”
“I-is that so…”
It seemed that the forest hiding the cave represented pubic hair, the crack in the ground represented the labia, and the cave itself was likened to a vagina.
Then, was this secret space meant to represent the uterus?
And in this place, Solange and Mariel intended to offer their virginity to me.
It would be impolite to refuse Solange and Mariel, who were already essentially “prepared.”
I secretly resolved to embrace them both.
Thank you for reading.
