We turned around when we felt a killing blow as if a sword was pointed at us behind us.

'Nah!'

　I cringe.

　There was a girl with twisted and pointed red hair tied back roughly.
　Her breasts and lower abdomen were covered with a thin triangle of fabric, exposing her race's distinctive brown skin to the sunshine of the Sow Trading States.

　Naturally, her navel and shoulders are in full view.
　It's almost a naked body.
　No, I often see my sister's nude body as well but this was a ripping experience.

　The other guys are raptured as well as me.
　They were staring at the girl seriously.

'Hey!　Don't look at me so much!

　It's Cecil who has changed into a red swimsuit.
　She glares at us embarrassedly.

"Wow, wow....

It looks good on you, Miss Cecil.

Oh, thank you...

　Then, spinning around, Cecil turned to me.

　She stared at me intently.
　What is it.........
　I can feel a strange atmosphere.
　Don't tell me that was Cecil's........
　Do you want to train here?

　When I was hesitating, Rowan poked me with his elbow.

'Come on, Lacelle. Say something to him.

It's like...

It looks good on you. That kind of thing.

'Oh?　Oh.....

I hear you, boys.

　Cecil glares at us with a guillotine.

''It's fine. I don't want any sly flattery.

Don't be a perv, Cecil. I think it suits you.

　Cecil's face, which had been puffing out his cheeks, turned red when he heard Rowan's words.

'Bah, fool!　I told you I don't need flattery.

What are you so angry about, Cecil? Hey, Lacelle.

　Even if I rejected you...
　I'm not sure.

　I try to wave my reaction to Mattelus beside him.
　Then, for some reason, he was grinning.
　What's so funny, this guy.
　But it seems that Mattelus understands the current situation better than anyone else.

''So?　What's going on with the other girls?

'Oh?　That's right. Come out a little early. We've got the order in rock-paper-scissors.

　Apparently, Cecil was the only one who was active, and they decided in rock-paper-scissors to come out in order.

　Relivia was the next one to come out unintentionally.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　Like Cecil, her navel was exposed, exposing her white bare skin.

　Lelivia swings her twin-tails of red hair and walks up to us.
　For all her hesitation, she was imposing.
　As an aristocrat, she's probably used to being noticed by people.

''What...?''

　He glared at me with a snap.
　It was closer to a killing intent than a threat.
　Rather than resenting what happened on the exam, he's probably still trying to avenge his brother (Iolada).
　He's alive, though........

'It's the first time I've ever worn something like this.

　Next up was Mucha.
　This one was a bit more subdued in her swimsuit.
　It was also less revealing and had a hidden navel.

'I chose this one because it wasn't very revealing...'

　I see.
　It was a solid Musha-like choice.
　Then she suddenly made a turn.

　Ah.........

　The men were stunned.

''What do you think?　Am I wearing it right?

　You ask us.
　No, I don't know what to say about that.

　More importantly, Mucha.
　That swimsuit looks like it has a lot of defense in front, but none in the back.
　Be careful, I reminded myself.

　Next came Sheila.
　Unlike the other girls, she was simple and less revealing.
　The color white suited her, too.
　She must have been clothed to make it easier to swim.
　Her golden blonde hair was scraped up and tucked in the back.
　I could see the beautiful nape of her neck, and my heart was a little moved.

　Hmmm.....

　That's fine.
　My sister's beauty is indestructible, even if I don't have to do anything extra.
　To be honest, I was wondering what I would do as an older brother if she chose a more revealing swimsuit like Cecil.

　Probably, in that case, I would have activated my magic and immediately made all of their eyes disappear.
　Sheila's bare skin couldn't be shown to the other men.

''Brother, does it look good on you?''

　Sheila asked, her cheeks stained and embarrassed.

　I nodded.

'Yeah. It suits you well, Sheila.'

　Sheila's cheeks colored as she praised him.

'You'll end up being Sarasa.'

'Yeah. Yes, but..... 'Sarasa!　You can come out now.

　Cecil himself calls out to her, but Sarasa doesn't come out easily.
　She looked behind a rock, but her best friend was nowhere to be seen.

'Could it be that you've escaped, Sarasa?'

No, I don't know. This is hostile territory.

It's entirely possible that she was abducted.

Let's find Miss Sarasa.

I know the area very well.

　The place is tense.

　Everyone is right.
　There might be some trouble.
　After all, this is Sow country.
　We were in the middle of enemy territory.

Okay. Cecil, Rowan, Mucha and Matellus, you'll search the palace. Sheila and Relivia, go outside. Don't go too far.

" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

Bornga!

　I also call out to Bornga, who was wielding a wooden sword nearby.

'Stay where you are. If Sarasa comes back, tell her to wait for me here.

Okay.

Then let's go.

　We scattered around to look for Sarasa.
