It's dazzlingly hot.
　Outside, there is a buzzing, cicada-like creature buzzing.

　It's been a long time since I came to this world.
　And just like in my world, it seems that summer has finally arrived.

''Ah, Achy........''

It's hot. It's so hot that I don't feel like doing anything.

'Yes. I don't feel like moving, and I'm sweating if I move a little bit.

　Me, Noll and Esther are in the living room.
　All of us are sitting in our chairs complaining about the heat and not feeling well.

　Nole is in front of us, stretched out with his face on the desk.
　Estelle uses wind magic from her fingertips and keeps sending wind throughout the room.
　It was somewhat better thanks to that, but it was still hot.

'Where is Sisha?'

I found it lying in the hallway earlier.

"You have attacked Luna again, sir...

　I thought I hadn't seen Sisha since this morning I didn't know she was still doing that.
　It looks like it's going to be bad if I leave her out in this heat, so let's go get her to recover.

"Hey, are you okay?

Heh, what is it, Okura-san?

Oh, my God, you look like you're conscious.

What's the matter with you, sir, that you're just lying around here?

　I went to the hallway of the House Extension and saw Sisha rolling around with her hands outstretched in front of her, her body facing me.
　I called out to her at once, and she replied, though her voice was distracted.
　Yeah?　If you can reply, it doesn't look like Luna has bitten you.

''The floor here is very cold and comfortable!

...and ruin your clothes?

I clean them every day, so they'll be fine!

　Sisha laughs a small laugh and feels good about rubbing her cheeks.
　Don't roll on the floor to sleep just because you're cleaning up every day.......
　I can understand why you'd want to do that in this heat, though.

　As we were standing there looking at Sisha in disgust, my phone suddenly vibrated.

''Hm?　This is it!

Is there something wrong, sir?

Is that reaction ... at a time like this?

　If you take it out and look at the screen, you'll see that there's a limited-time swimsuit gacha!　Lots of special items! What was displayed.

'Limited time swimsuit gacha, he said.

　A swimsuit gacha........
　I didn't expect this gacha to have a limited time only gacha.
　For me, I don't have very good memories of this limited-time gacha.
　In the original world, I don't know how many times I've played this gacha because I couldn't find any of the featured swimsuit units...

　If you look at the details, it looks like there are special equipment available only in this gacha.
　But I'll give up if I don't get any after spinning it a little this time.

The best thing to do is to have a swimsuit........

'Oh my God, it's just as well you're in a bathing suit. Why don't you pass it around and we can all go to the beach together?

'Un-sho ... the sea, that's nice. I'd like to go to the beach with you all once in a while.

　When they heard it was a swimsuit, Esther and the others approached with a bite.
　Sisha who was lying down also got up and was very interested.

　The sea, the sea........
　The sea in this world is so scary that it looks like there are demons in it.
　But Esther and her friends are kind of excited, and I can't say how to stop them.
　And if you might be able to see them in their swimsuits, I'm getting my hopes up too.

''Let's just give it a spin at least twice.

Hmmm, it's called a swimsuit gacha, so I'm expecting something cute to come out of it.

　I decided to set a limit of two times this time, and I decided to spin the gacha.
　I don't know what kind of things I'll get...

　I tap the Gacha and spin the first one.
　A treasure chest appears on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver and gold. It stopped at gold.

　[R Sunscreen, SR Swimsuit for Men, R Straw Hat, SR Swimsuit for Women, R Beach Parasol, SR Beach Ball Set, R Barbecue Set, R Blue Hawaii, R Summer Bed, R Sunglasses, R Snorkel]

　Whoa!　It's completely sea-specialized....
　I thought I was going to get a swimsuit or something dedicated to it, but I guess not.

　I tap the gacha again and turn the gacha a second time.
　A treasure chest appears on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver, gold, white, and rainbow. It stops at a rainbow.

'Woo-hoo!　Seriously!

Oh, it's UR!

I don't know what we're going to get.

　No way, for the second time, UR!
　Hee hee, I'm such a sucker for drawing UR in a limited time gacha!

[R floats, SR swimsuit "for men", R beach flag, R body board, R frisbee, SR swimsuit "for women", R cooler box, SR swimsuit "for women", R fans, R beach tent, UR "Midsummer's Little Devil" ester]

What ... me?

　Looking at the discharged UR, Esther is surprised.
　What does this mean........?
　Let's see what it is.

　------
A Little Devil in Summer, Esther
　He switches to a summer costume and adds a title.
　------.

Apparently they're just going to add exclusive costumes and titles.

Oh, my God, is that my bathing suit?　That would be fun.

　Hearing that it's a special outfit just for her, Esther is happy to put her hands together.
　It's not specified as a swimsuit, but if it came from the swimsuit gacha, it should be a swimsuit.

''Shall we switch quickly?''

'Wait. Does that force me to change my clothes now too?

Maybe ... maybe not.

'Then I hope you'll wait until after you've been to the beach. It's something to look forward to until then.

　I quickly got on my phone to switch, but Esther stopped me.
　It's true that changing clothes now would be a lot less fun.

●

　So, we quickly came to the sea south of Brunne.
　There are other people on the beach, and they are playing and swimming in the sea.
　It seems that there are no demons in this area.

''It's ... dazzling. Why do I have to go outside on a day like this........

I'm going to miss you, Luna, staying home alone!

That's right. At times like this, it's good for everyone to go together.

　Luna is covering her eyes with her hands and looking annoyed.
　I brought her here because Noll and the others said they felt sorry for her for being left unattended, but is she okay?
　You're a vampire to begin with, and it's not good to come to the beach in the sunshine.......

'You really do sound a little bitter. Are you okay?

"That's all right. Just let me stay in the shade and watch over you. It might be nice to sleep outside once in a while.

You'll end up sleeping...

　It's as good as it gets, Luna.
　I can't believe she chooses to sleep at all, even at a time like this.

'Well then, should Nol and the others get dressed?　Estelle can switch, right?

　I gave Noll and the others a dimension room and asked them to change in it.
　I'm already wearing my swim trunks underneath my clothes, so I'll just take them off.
　Estelle will be able to get into her swimsuit as soon as she switches, and it shouldn't be a problem if we do it quickly in the shadows.

'Wait, brother!　I'm going to go change with Noll and the others.

Hmm?　But this will only take a second, and you won't have to worry about them seeing you naked?

'I don't care about that anymore. You're supposed to go get into your bathing suit and wait for me.

'Uh ... uh ... yeah. Right.

　Apparently I was thinking tactlessly.
　Estelle is puffing out her cheeks and getting slightly angry.
　Well, that's certainly the kind of thing I promised........

　Handing the phone to Noll and the others, I had to wait.
　In the meantime, I pet the Moffitt that I had brought along with me.

Hey, Moffitt. How do you like the composition with one guy in a bathing suit petting a rabbit?

　When I asked him that, Moffitt booed and rubbed up against me.
　I wonder what it is, is it being taken care of?
　Moffoot is a good guy.

　We waited for about 10 minutes like that.

"Okura-dono, here we are!

　When I finally finished changing, Noll called out to me from behind.
　She always hides her face and looks knightly and not at all s*xy, but I wonder what she would look like in a swimsuit.
　I looked back, a little expectantly.

'Oh, here--what?'

Is there something wrong, sir?

What's the matter ... and what is it?

I've got a bathing suit.

　In my line of sight was Noor in a white wetsuit, worn tightly from neck to foot.
　He even wore a black mask with a snorkel attached so that his face would not be recognized.
　

''Haha........that's the kind of reaction you're going to get.

"Whoa!

　As I was stunned, Sisha approached me.
　Her swimsuit is a black bikini.
　Her top was crossed under her breasts and my eyes couldn't help but go to the area around it.

''Ufufu, Okura-san, where are you looking?　Disgusting.

I'm not looking at your chest!　It's true!

'It's easy to understand. Well, it's deliberate, so it's more fun for you to see.

　I looked away in a hurry, but Sisha's mouth was twisted in an amused manner.
　d*mn, you're still enjoying watching my reaction.
　It's a pity to see you looking at Sisha.

''Brother, what do you think?''

　As a helper, this time Estelle came back.
　Estelle is wearing a white tube top with a black pareo wrapped around it.
　I'm sure you'll find it very cute.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. You look great!

''Mmm, it's nice to get a compliment, but compared to Sisha's reaction, it's kind of frustrating...''

　Maybe it's because I treated her normally, but Esther's mouth is agape and she looks a little dissatisfied.
　I can't help it.......I'm a guy too, and I can't help but react when I see him dressed like that.
　In that respect, Estelle is cute and wholesome, so you can watch her without worrying about it.

　And finally, Luna came back.
　Her swimsuit looks like a navy blue.......school swimsuit.
　Why!　Why a school swimsuit?

What... what?

'No, it's a classic...'

That was the easiest one to wear. Now, I'm going to go and get some sleep over there.

　I know it's a common thing for a swimsuit but... what do you think?
　Luna didn't seem particularly bothered by this, but picked up Moffitt, who was at my feet, and moved away.
　She was still cold or cool as ever.

'Brother, you're pretty tight when you take your clothes off.

Hey, stop tickling me!

That's nice.

　While I was distracted by Luna, Esther came up to me and flopped over and touched my arm and stomach.
　I told her to stop, and she laughed and pulled away a bit.
　It tickled me, but it thrilled me because that's a part of me that doesn't usually get touched by other people.

'Yeah, so!　You're here, but what are you going to do?

Of course, since we've come to a place with so much water, we're going to swim!

　When he said that, Noll ran and went into the water.
　Is it okay to go in without any preparation...or is it possible to swim?
　As I watched with such concern, Nol went into the sea in good spirits........................and sank down.



You know, because you breathe in water up to your intake...

　Then, in a rush and panic, my body kept coming out of the water and sinking, and I came back dizzy.
　That's because he suddenly jumped in and went into the sea with his whole snorkel....

　Then Noor went back into the water quietly and started swimming with only his head out of the water.
　Maybe that was...........a dog paddle?

'Sisha is... what?

Over the sea you're running.

　I looked for what Sisha was doing and found her running on the sea.
　The other people on the beach also shouted in surprise when they saw Sisha.

　Hey!　What the hell is he doing?
　You're too obvious!

Hmm, swimming is really nice.

Swimming...?　What part of that is swimming!　I mean, how did you do it!

'What?　I just kicked the water with my other foot before one foot sank, you know?

　After running around in the sea for a while, Sisha wipes it with her arm as if she had a good sweat.
　Eh?　What was the word "swim" again?
　And you've been doing that for a long time with a ton of old theories........

　Sisha swam normally this time and made her way to Noor, who was swimming frantically, dog-whistling.
　Swim normally from the beginning.

　He was dumbfounded along with Estelle, but he decided to look for Luna, who went somewhere else next.
　And soon I found her.........

''.........Hmm?　What's wrong?

'No, it's nothing but you're more at home than I thought you would be.

Hmm, not as bad as I thought.

That's the most grown-up way to have fun...

　Luna was lounging on a summer bed under a beach parasol.
　She wore sunglasses with her legs crossed and was tipping a glass of blue Hawaiian juice.
　A beach tent had been set up nearby, where Moffitt sat and relaxed inside.
　A little girl and a rabbit relaxing in the most graceful way possible we're starting to feel like we're not having any fun.

'Huh, I'm tired of coming to the beach so early...'

Oh, but it's nice to see the Noles enjoying themselves.

Is Esther not going?

You know I'm not very good at moving, right?

　I'm watching Noll and the others, and for some reason I'm getting tired, even though I haven't done anything yet.
　Well, they seem to be enjoying themselves, so that's fine.

　Estelle hasn't gone anywhere, she's been following me the whole time.
　Now she was sitting on a sheet on the beach, looking at the ocean in a blur.
　It's true that Estelle isn't much of a mover to begin with, so if she swims with Noor and the others, she'll get burned out quickly.

''If you're with me, brother, would you mind if I had this applied to your back?''

Hmm?　Sunscreen?

Yes, Sisha and the others had already painted it, but I haven't done it yet.

　Estelle took out the sunscreen from the mess from her bag that was placed nearby.
　Even though Sisuha and the others had applied it themselves first, only Estelle hadn't done so.
　I didn't think they were aiming for........well, it's fine if it's just to apply it.

''Then let's go apply it.''

Yes, please.

　I lay down on the sheet and quickly apply the sunscreen to Esther.
　It's a white creamy stuff that I put out in my hand and I mix it with my fingers.
　I'm pretty sure I've heard that these things are mixed first.
　I don't know why.

Hmmm.........hmmm....

Couldn't you do something to your voice?

Yeah, because he's so ticklish.

　After mixing it to some extent, I apply it to Esther's back.
　Then she lets out an indescribable voice from her mouth, making her body jittery.

　Hey, it's like I'm doing something nasty!
　It's understandable that he would be like that after being touched in a place that is not usually touched.

"Okura-dono, wouldn't you like to do this?

Beach volleyball ... nope.

'Why?　It's good - let's do it!

That's right. Let's do it!

　By the time I finished painting, Noor and Sisha came back from the sea.
　And in their hands, they have a beach ball from the mess.
　

'Noll, I'm going to throw the ball upstairs, try to hit it into the sandy beach.

Huh?　That's fine, but....

　He handed me the ball and I decided to let Noll do the spike.
　She tilted her head curiously, but as soon as I threw it up there, she reacted, and ugh!　And jumped with a shout.

'Hunnu!'

　Then he hits the volleyball down on the beach as hard as he can.
　The moment the ball hits the sand, there's a dull sound and the ball is plunging into the sand.
　I knew it.......The ball was murderously powerful.

.............it's buried in the sand.

'What?　If me and Esther get in on this stuff, we're going to die.

　Probably Sisha and Luna are probably close to this level, and if we do it together, me and Esther will die.
　I don't want to play murder beach volleyball.

Boo, boo, boo. Well then, I'm going for a walk with Moffat.

　Noll walked away with a disgruntled look on his face, holding Moffitt, who was resting in the beach tent.

'Then I'll take Luna and........'

Hey, get out of my way, or you'll be on the water by yourself.

Well....uh, uh...

　Sisha also goes up to Luna to see if she wants to play with her, but she pays her hands off with a shh, shh, shh and tells Luna not to come.
　Then she collapses off her knees and gets down on all fours, expressing her shock with her whole body.
　You wanted to play that badly........

'It's really noisy....'

Hmm, that's nice. Isn't this fun?

Well, yeah.

　It's a little too noisy, but this kind of thing isn't bad either.
　Afterwards, we played frisbee and barbecue, and our first time at the beach ended up being rather fun.
