Exactly ten days after hearing about swimming from Laguna-san, we came to the beach in the Kingdom of Hydra, where all the lovers' plans were safely met and they were invited.
　The divine world was in an uproar because White was going to the human world... especially when Kuronoa and Leif didn't want to go with him, but White convinced them to go, and the divine race members were able to go with the people of the Kingdom of Hydra that Laguna had arranged. We seemed to have settled in together to keep others away from the beach.

　However, the point where is a few kilometers away from the beach was heavily guarded as if there was a war going on.
　Thanks to this, the area around the beach was completely reserved for us, and we were glad to know that world-famous White and Kuro could enjoy themselves without worrying about their surroundings.

　When we arrived there and got off the carriage, we saw a really splendid scene as Laguna-san recommended with confidence.
　The clear ocean blue, the white sandy beach that I've only seen in movies and so on. The facilities for swimming that were calculated and built so as not to spoil the scenery, I couldn't help but say "Oh!

　And then, I'd like to quickly change and go to the beach, but I have to do something first. That's right, it's about the grouping that Fate-san suggested to me.
　As I was thinking that, I wondered if she was thinking about the same thing, and Kuro, who was telling her about the matter after Alice, clapped her hands with a cheerful expression on her face.

''Yes, attention~. I'm sure everyone has heard a little bit about the proposal from Fate and Kite, but I'm going to explain it in detail.

　You can count on Black to be in charge at times like this. It's really helpful because I'd be too busy trying to figure out how to explain it.

We can't stay in a group for a long time, so let's make four pairs and play together. Oh, of course, if we can all play together, we'll all play together, so that's all the other stuff. Kite will be free to go around to each team and play with them.

　The method that Fate suggested is to divide the eight lovers into groups of two and have them act in pairs...and I, who will be left alone, will play with them while visiting various combinations.
　This is a great way to deepen friendships with people you never had a chance to talk to before, and I can play with everyone without being biased by going around in order.

The most important thing to remember is that you should not only act in pairs, but also get together with other people to play together and so on. The important thing is to have Kite draw a lottery for us to decide on a partner. Oh, I'm sure you understand, but probability manipulation is forbidden.

　As for the crucial pairing, Fate-san suggested that I would draw a lottery to decide on a pair.
　The reason for this is that, thanks to White's blessing, I have a huge correction in my luck. So if I draw the lottery while thinking that I want people I don't usually get along with to become friends with me, I think we'll get a good match.

As I said before, it's just one of the elements for fun. Well, as I said before, it's just for fun. Do you have any questions?　.........Yeah, well, Kite, it's nice to meet you~
Yes, sir.

　After Black's explanation was finished, everyone didn't seem to have any particular objections. And since Kuro held out the lottery that he had prepared in advance, I drew the lottery while thinking about what Fate told me to do.
　And the duo of four pairs for today's day at the beach.......................were decided.











　Lying on the cushions floating in the sky, Fate muttered as she looked at her partner who became her duo.

''........Ah, I see, I see, there's a pattern like this too. Come to think of it, we haven't talked much, have we?''
Nice to meet you.........Fate.

　Fate had expected to be paired with Lilia or Sieglinde, or even Anima, but the person she was paired with was Isis.
　However, if you think about it, there certainly wasn't much contact between Fate and Isis, and despite knowing each other for a long time, the number of times they talked to each other was small.

''Yes, nice to meet you~. But even if we say we're going to hang out together, what shall we do?　I don't know much about playing in the ocean or anything like that, but...
...Well ...looking for ...beautiful shells ...or something?
'What?　What's the point of doing that?
I'm sorry.
Oh, no, no, no, no!　I'm just kidding!　So please, don't look like you're going to cry like that!

　Fate unintentionally returned it in a straightforward manner, but when she saw that Isis could tell by the shunned expression on her face immediately afterwards, she began to follow up in a great hurry.

''Well, Dead King ... no, I'll call you Ai-chan!　Great, looking for shells, that sounds like fun!　Ai, let's see who can find a better one with me!
...Oh...yeah!
''........I'm in trouble. Maybe this girl might be more difficult to deal with than the God of Time and Space..............................but I can't say it's a hassle or something. Hang in there, I........

　Although the duo could be said to be contrasting in terms of personality, since Fate has the intention to get along better with me and still has no problem with the magic power of death, they were a duo that somehow seemed to work well together.









''Haha, Isis-san is pure, and it might be difficult for a twisted person like me and Fate to play with her.......well, I can't smile too much either........''

　Alice smiled bitterly at the pairing of Fate and Isis, but then she let out a light sigh and turned her gaze to the person who had become her duo.
　Then that opponent saluted with a beautiful movement.

''Alice-dono!　Have a great day!　I'm not used to this kind of play, so I may be inconvenienced, but I'd appreciate your guidance and encouragement!
''.........Yes. If you joke around carelessly, you'll be the one who will be severely scolded by Kaito-san later on....

　Yes, Alice's duo is Anima. And as Alice knows, Anima has a respect for Alice that is close to admiration, and she still looks at Alice with sparkling eyes.
　Furthermore, Kite has told her not to ruin Anima's dreams over and over again, so she can't joke around with her usual tone.

''Umm........well, nice to meet you.
Yes!

　Alice let out another light sigh, trying not to look like Anima while feeling that she was going to have a hard time as well as Fate.








　Some of the duo greeted each other with a calm air, leaving the two pairs somewhat confused by the unusual combination.

''Come to think of it, this might be the first time we've talked slowly with Zeke like this.
Yes. It's nice to meet you, Pluto.
'You can call me Chrome, and you don't have to be so hard on me. We're here for fun today, you know.
I understand. Well, I'll call you Master Krom, then.
'Yes!　Let's have some fun today!

　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
　As it was, after talking for a bit, Crom Eina moved her gaze to ask Sieglinde while changing her expression.

''........By the way, Zeke. Can I ask you one question?''
...Yes, what is it?

　Sieglinde's expression changes to a subtle.... pitying one, while moving her gaze in the same manner as Chromeaina's.
　The last pair of figures are in the direction of the two gazes.

''........Why is it that Lilia-chan always pulls out the hardest part?　Do you think you have some kind of unknown curse on you that I don't know about?
I don't know what all that stuff is even to me.......for some reason, that girl has always attracted hardships like a black hole.

　Yes, if Fate and Isis, Alice and Anima, and Sieglinde and Chromium Eina are a combination.......then the remaining pair is inevitable.......

''Best regards.''
'Hi, hi!　Here, here, here, and here...

　'Sharovanal and Lilia'. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
