For now, change into a bathing suit, do some preparatory exercises on the beach. But I don't know what kind of exercise I should do, so it's the familiar radio exercise.
　When I was doing it, I was called from behind.

'What are you dancing for?

　I turned around and saw Else standing there, dressed in her swimsuit. Behind her sister, Linse was also there.
　They were both wearing matching bikinis, but they were different colors, contrasting with Else's red top and bottom with a white border, and Linse's blue top and bottom with a white border. The bottom one was a low rise with laces on the sides.
　Linse's was wearing a long pastel blue hoodie on top, perhaps embarrassed. Needless to say, both of them are in great style, and frankly, it's hard to look at them. Still, I confirmed that his sister was slightly bigger than him.

'It's not dancing, it's prep work. You'd be in trouble if you suddenly went into the water and got a foot in the water, wouldn't you?
Okay. Well, let's just put it that way.

　That's not what it's about, but it is. Before I could glare at her, Else lightly turned her wrists and ankles, stretched the tendons in her legs and rotated her hips, and then, with a thump, she walked into the water.

'Oh, Else-dono will be the first to arrive, that he will be the first to arrive,' Then me too.

　Before I knew it, Yae had come to the side and was smiling happily. Yae was wearing a light purple bikini with a halter neck and side ties. It's a secret that I had an idea in the corner of my mind for a bit, like salashi and red fundoji or something. And if I thought about it, that would be in my underwear, so it couldn't be.
　But when I look at it again, it's.......huge. Maybe it's because I usually hold it in place with a salami, but the gap between it and normal times is confusing to me.
　Yae also ran towards the sea without paying attention to such me.

''Linse doesn't swim?''
'Oh, wow, I'm not much of a swimmer so I'll just rest in the shade.

　Saying that, Linse went under the sunshade. Hmm, I feel like Linse isn't physically strong, so I hope she's careful about heat stroke or something.

''Winter night!''
Brother Wintery Night!

　Oh, now the little ladies are here.
　Sue is in a yellow dress with fluttering ruffles on her chest, and Renee's is in a red dress with a white dot pattern, with ruffles at her waist like a skirt.
　It's simply adorable. It's not a doggie, and I feel comfortable with it. Sue had a float and Rene had a beach ball.

'Try not to go too far out to sea, you know. It's shallow here, but don't get too far away from everyone else.
I know. I know. I'll be fine. Let's go, Renee!
Yeah, Sue!

　With Renee's hand in hand, Sue runs to the edge of the waves. They've become a lot closer. It's a good thing that you're a good friend of mine.

"They're so close.
"Oh, my God!

　Cecil-san's voice, which was suddenly called out to me, caused me to back away. Could you please stop killing the signs and approaching me from behind! It's an occupational hazard!
　Cecil was wearing an emerald green bikini with a pareo of the same color wrapped around her waist. In itself, it is an ordinary swimsuit and there is nothing flashy about it.
　But...that...the volume of the bikini, which is more than eight layers, makes my eyes swim. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. That's what you get when you're an older man with an adult's charm (?). Full load..........

"Master Su~, Renee~. Mix me up too~

　Cecil-san runs in front of me. ...tayyimu tayyimu. ...tayu-tayu-tayu. It's important, so I said it twice.

'Is it true that if it's big... it floats...'
Excuse me?
What the hell?

　Behind her stood Lapis-san with a strange look on her face. Not again! I told you not to kill us!

What floats?
'Huh? Oh, yeah, the floats! I just wanted to make sure I was floating properly!
I'm sure he's fine.
Yeah!

　Lapidus was wearing a navy blue tube top and shorts as she watched Su and her friends frolicking in the ocean. You will find that you can get a lot more than just a few.

''What's that?''
We have some work to do. A drink for the ladies.

　Mr. Lapidus pointed with his eyes to the Queen and the Duchess, who were relaxing on beach chairs under a parasol. On the table between them was a tropical drink that Mr. Lapidus may have taken with him.

'Why don't you play with Miss Lapidus too?
Don't worry, I'll take turns having fun with Cecil.

　Lapis-san walks to the 'gate' that leads to the mansion while smiling. Huh, the epitome of a maid. As expected of a maids' guild member, that's something to be proud of. Hmm?
　I thought there was a lot of noise and then I saw His Majesty the King jumping into the sea from a rocky point. Wait, are you all right? ...Oh, it's coming up. Apparently, it's deep in there. His Royal Highness and General Leon also jumped in. And everyone else is swimming together........what are those old men doing? They're too excited.

Fuyao-san.

　I was looking at the kings with dumbfounded eyes when Yumina came in front of me. She looked good in a pretty white bikini with ruffles on her chest and waist. She spun around on the spot and looked at me.

'How do you like it?'
It looks good on you. It's pretty.
Ehehe. Thank you.

　I wonder if it's because he thinks she's still a child that he can get a quick compliment when she's Yumina. It's true that she's still not as dogged as the other girls. It looks like she's not going to be attacked by Yumina yet.

'Fuyao-san, would you like to swim over there with me?

　Yumina hugs my arm tightly. Well, I hit it, but. It is difficult to determine whether it is intentional or unconscious. I didn't realize it, but.......you're growing up in a way that's appropriate for your age.......
　I almost blush involuntarily at the soft touch... and you're dogged, me! What's still seems to be unconquerable, man! It's not safe!

Hi, I need to check the ruins just in case. I'll join you when I'm done.

　He gently removes Yumina's restraints and promises to do so. Although she seemed a little dissatisfied, she seemed to understand somehow.

''Then be sure to come back when you're done.

　Yumina left a smile on her face as she said that and ran down the beach towards Su and the others.
　It was a close call......... The protective wall is in trouble. No, there's nothing wrong with it, but........ .........no?
　Yumina is pretty. There's no doubt about that. If you ask me if I like her or not, I like her. But I'm not sure if she's a love interest.
　Well, what if Yumina finds a guy she likes, and he says he's going to marry her? It's just...annoying.
　It's bothering me. I have a bad feeling about this. ........is this jealousy, or what.... No, it's a paternal instinct (?) to trust a precious child like my sister to an unknown person who has no idea what kind of horse's bones he's talking about. ...I guess. I guess. I think so.

"Why do I have to look so hard?
"Huh?

　I turned around to see Leanne, dressed in an adorable black with white lace bikini, but somehow holding a black parasol. I thought that if I didn't want to get burned by the sun, I shouldn't have changed into a swimsuit, but somehow I felt like I'd lose if I was lucky. But what about a bold, low-rise swimsuit with ties on the sides with that infant figure?
　What I'm more concerned about is that stuffed bear over there in a red and white striped bathing suit that looks like it's from the Taisho era, and he's doing some preparatory exercises.

'You don't think he's going to swim? Paula?

　Attaboy! Paula tapped her chest as if to say, "I'm sorry. Are you okay? She huffed and sniffed as she turned her eyes to Leanne.

I don't have any "protection" on. It's totally waterproof.

　That's great "protection". I'll put it on my phone too later. Oh, Amber is resting in the luggage tent where my phone is.

"Well, let's just dive for now.

When I start walking towards the sea, Paula follows me in a heap. I wonder if she's really all right....
　When Paula entered the ocean, she turned over on the beach and was pushed back to the sandy beach, rolling over on the edge of the waves. She got up and ran back into the sea. Then the waves pushed her back again, rolling back to the sandy beach.......an endless loop?
　I decided to leave the thing alone for now and walked out to sea. Eventually, when I couldn't get to my feet, I went straight ahead with a breaststroke.
　I'm pretty sure it was around here........ I took a big breath and dove in all at once.
　The crystal-clear waters clearly showed me what lay below.
　These are definitely ruins. Various megaliths line up like a stone circle with a small temple-like building in the middle. After diving further into the building, I looked into the entrance of the building and found a stone staircase leading to the basement.
　It was too dark to see what was ahead, but it must have been quite a long staircase. I couldn't hold my breath there, so I returned to the surface of the sea.
　Puffing and puffing, we dove down again, this time down the stone stairs in one go. This time I went down the stone stairs in one fell swoop, but it became painful and I turned back halfway down. Impossible! I can't possibly hold my breath. I can only hold my breath for a minute at the most.
　What's at the end of those stairs? I'd like to find out, but that's all I can do at this point. I didn't get much done, but I couldn't do anything else, so I decided to go back.
　When I returned to the sandy beach, I found Paula, facing the waves, wiping the blood around her mouth (of course there was no such thing) with her hand, saying, "You're doing pretty good.... You're still at it.
　I tell Leanne what I've seen and lie down on the beach.

'So we're completely at the bottom of the ocean.... Well, what should we do........I guess we'll just have to bring Marion with us.
Marion?
"The chief of the aquatic tribe. My friend. I'm sure she'll be fine because she can operate in the water but she doesn't want to go out in public...''

　Hmmm, Leanne crossed her arms and thought about it.
　It didn't really matter if it was the aquatic tribe, it didn't have to be that girl, but it seemed that the aquatic tribe's policy was that they didn't want to appear in public, or rather, didn't interfere too much with those on land, and it was difficult to bring even the others with them.

''How could you be so eager to help the founding of the Miss Midlands with that kind of thing?
'That's where my negotiating skills come in. I'm not a bad kid, and after a hundred years of being friends, I'll learn to read their thoughts.

　

Well, that's enough for today. You can go play the rest of the time. I don't want people to hate me if I keep you to myself.

　With that, Leanne went off to join Paula. Who is everyone?
　And out of nowhere, I could smell the delicious smell of burning meat. I got up and looked upwind. There, in front of the large griddle that had been set up, Mika-san, wearing an orange bikini and apron, and Claire-san, also in a black-and-white bordered bikini and apron, were furiously working on their skills. They're both cooks, so they seem to be getting along well.
　Beside them, Ael-san, dressed in a flowery one-piece, was getting Linse to freeze a metal container. Is that ice cream? An after-dinner dessert?
　From the "gate" that was still connected to the mansion, Claire's husband, Julio-san, was bringing in foodstuffs one after another. I guess he always keeps a straw hat handy, as usual.
　I started to walk toward the others to help, but I turned my attention to the people on the way.

What are you doing?

　There, in this heat, two butlers in pitch-black formal wear and white gloves were looking into the opera glasses.

''We are watching for Master Su's safety.
I'm watching for the safety of the princess as well.

　No. Isn't that too overprotective? What are these brothers. I mean, the Duke is the master of Raym, and I am the master of Rhyme. Do you have no regard for our safety?
　Well, it didn't seem to matter what I said, so I left it alone and walked out to satisfy my hunger.
　I'm hungry.
