Chapter 53 Need My Help?
Inside the luxurious cruise ship cabin.
The off-white walls paired with warm, soft lighting create a cozy and ambiguous atmosphere in the room.
Sitting on the sofa, Kanade anxiously looked at Nagisa, who peeked her head out from the bathroom.
“This, this is… I originally intended to wear this swimsuit to the outdoor pool…” Nagisa explained softly.
Her gaze kept darting away, and her lovely cheeks were now flushed with a deep redness.
Even her voice trembled slightly from shyness.
Kanade nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
“B-but, I’m not sure if it suits me… so I wanted Kanade-kun to… help me take a look…”
Upon hearing this, Kanade recalled what Yukino had said to him that day.
And he hadn’t bought insurance yet.
Just as he tried to turn his head away, his body betrayed him unexpectedly.
Moreover, Nagisa didn’t give Kanade a chance to regroup.
As soon as she finished speaking, she mustered her courage and walked out of the bathroom.
Kanade’s eyes were glued to Nagisa the entire time, as if he feared missing even a single moment.
This is the tragedy of adolescent boys.
Even knowing that the scene to follow could be life-threatening for him, he couldn’t control his instincts.
The moment Kanade took in Nagisa’s entire figure, he suddenly felt a warmth trickle down his nose uncontrollably.
Standing in front of him was Nagisa, wearing a three-piece bikini that perfectly showcased her stunning figure, making it hard to look away.
The gentle light in the room spilled onto the floor, illuminating her silhouette even more brilliantly.
This bikini was designed in a double-layer structure, with the inner layer being black, clinging closely to her skin.
The outer layer was made of lightweight white fabric, slightly covering the inner layer, creating a distinctly layered visual effect.
The white outer layer had a bit of transparency, making the black inner layer subtly visible, adding an inexplicable allure.
The edge of the white outer layer on the lower half of the bikini was adorned with a light flouncy lace, presenting a playful and vibrant touch.
Meanwhile, the inner layer featured a high-waisted design, with two black straps hugging her fair skin, accentuating the abdominal muscles of her flat stomach, forming a stark contrast with the low-waisted white strap’s double-layer design.
The upper half of the bikini was even more seductive.
The black inner layer clung to her chest, boldly lifting her proud curves, forming a deep, grand valley.
The lightweight white outer layer draped over the surface like a sheer veil, revealing the silhouette of the black inner layer in a subtle manner.
The double straps crossed over her delicate shoulders, and the black-and-white combination made her collarbones stand out even more.
Nagisa’s early-maturing figure compared to her peers was perfectly showcased in this bold double-layer bikini, revealing her alluring side.
Whether it was the large area of exposed flawless fair skin or the exquisite and charming navel that had been hidden under clothing.
Or the towering peaks that stood out even more once removed, everything was in Kanade’s sight.
Especially the slender, firm curve from her chest to her hips, rapidly tightening yet naturally extending, beautifully presenting an astonishing S-shaped curve.
It almost displayed the perfect proportions of the human body, rivaling the perfect figures of female characters in ACG works.
No, rather, in front of Nagisa now.
Those female characters from ACG works seemed to pale in comparison.
Kanade was completely mesmerized, unable to muster the strength to wipe the blood flowing from his nose, focusing entirely on “how to engrave this scene firmly in his retina.”
“…. How do I look? Does it suit me?”
Nagisa’s gaze darted away, one hand behind her back, the other shyly playing with her hair.
With her plump, soft legs together, she lifted her chin and puffed her chest, as if to let Kanade see her in the bikini more clearly.
Kanade’s brain had completely crashed at this moment.
If a bikini paired with blue skies, sandy beaches, and the ocean could be considered swimwear.
Then a bikini in an indoor setting…
Isn’t it a fancier style of underwear?
Sharing a room with a childhood friend who only wore underwear and had an incredibly alluring figure…
“Kanade, Kanade-kun!? Your nose… it’s, it’s bleeding!”
Nagisa’s peripheral vision caught sight of the blood suddenly streaming from Kanade’s nose.
She immediately tossed aside her shyness and worriedly rushed over to him.
Even the double-layer structure of the bikini top couldn’t completely contain Nagisa’s grand features.
The two soft and elastic spheres in her chest swayed with her steps, changing into all sorts of enticing shapes.
Kanade’s gaze was fixed firmly on them, unable to move it away even a fraction.
He felt that blood was flowing to places other than just his nose.
Even as he tried to bend over, it was of no use.
Certain parts of Kanade’s body that had reacted were prominently visible against the school’s athletic uniform.
He watched helplessly as Nagisa approached, frantically praying in his heart, “Don’t let her notice.”
If it had been the old “naive” and “slow” Nagisa, she might really not have noticed this.
But—
“Kanade, Kanade-kun, are you okay?”
Nagisa worriedly bent down, pulling out a few tissues from the coffee table to wipe Kanade’s nosebleed.
Her utterly unguarded posture.
Allowed Kanade to intuitively feel that the two soft and heavy fruits on Nagisa’s chest sagged under the influence of gravity, revealing an irresistibly deep and alluring valley.
Such a beautiful sight.
Made Kanade uncontrollably become more spirited.
“!”
The bent-down Nagisa’s gaze naturally fell on Kanade’s unusually spirited part.
Nagisa immediately froze.
Kanade also noticed her slight reaction and quickly gauged from her line of sight that she had discovered—
Nagisa’s first response after regaining her composure was to blush fiercely, clasp her hands over her chest, and take a step back.
—It’s over!!!
Witnessing this scene, Kanade finally turned his head, shifting his gaze away from Nagisa’s alluring attire.
But it was already too late.
Kanade realized that the death sentence had ultimately fallen upon him.
Nagisa clearly understood what had just happened.
What he felt for his childhood friend had finally been exposed.
Although Nagisa had lost her memory now, she was still the childhood friend he had always had a crush on.
Her action of stepping back was like a sharp blade, stabbing deeply into the sensitive and fragile heart of an adolescent boy.
Even though Kanade’s heart was already riddled with scars, certain parts of him remained as spirited as ever.
This is the sad reality for a youthful boy.
Clearly an instinctive reaction, yet in such a situation, it would still be regarded as his own responsibility.
Just as Kanade was mentally preparing himself to walk to the execution ground—
“Um, um, I’m sorry… it’s all my fault… do you need me to help… help you?”
???
Help? Did my ears just hear that word?
Is it auditory hallucination?
Or is this a new interpretation of “disgusting” or “perverted”?
With a head full of question marks, Kanade turned his head to look in Nagisa’s direction.
He saw a blushing Nagisa, who didn’t display any expression of dislike or contempt but instead looked at him shyly.
“Um, um, I will take responsibility…” Nagisa added, as if she had realized something.
And a certain part of Kanade’s body involuntarily reacted to this statement.
???
What responsibility?
What does it mean to take responsibility?
Am I dreaming?
Oh, I see~
So it was a dream~
Otherwise, how could I possibly be in Nagisa’s room?
And alone with her in the room?
Moreover, she suddenly changed into a very bold bikini…
If it’s a dream, then everything makes sense.
So… Kanade, could you wake up quickly!
Though I know that waking up from a pink dream at this moment would be quite uncomfortable.
But if you don’t wake up soon, I’m going to feel very uncomfortable!!!
