96 Episode 96 "Slave Girls Bathing and Her Request".txt (1/2)

And the next day.

The weather was fine.

Finally, we decided to go swimming.

It's always warm at this resort, and there is no set time for swimming.

Besides, nowadays there is no one who wants to go swimming because of the rumor of ”mysterious glowing phenomenon in the shape of dragon” which occurred in the west of the resort.

So for the first time in a long time we got on a carriage and headed for the beach on the outskirts of town.

Look, Nagi-sama. It's the ocean. Umi!

Cecil, seated in the governor's seat, is waving his hand toward the horizon.

The sea in the resort town of Michelineira is shallow, and the rocky shore off shore serves as a breakwater.

Maybe that's why the waves are so quiet. Apparently the tides keep the dangerous water-dwelling monsters away.

Let's see.

I parked the carriage along the town's road.

In the carriage behind the driver's seat, Rita, Aine, Iris and Rafilia should be changing into their swimsuits.

Now all we need to do is get everyone to enjoy the swim.

I feel like I've finally given all the slaves a decent vacation.

'Nagi-sama, can I too ......?'

Cecil looks at me like I'm a puppy dog.

Okay, I said, and Cecil jumped from the gohja-dai to the vehicle.

Today, there is a partition between the gyoja-dai and the vehicle with a cloth. So that you can't see it from the outside.

I think it's safe to say that Rita, who has the ”presence of mind” skill, is here, but just in case, let's be wary of our surroundings.

”Sorry, but can you guys take care of things while everyone else is swimming?

I patted the carriage horse on the back.

'If any of those suspicious people come close, tell me to stay away. I'll need to hear from you guys.

”Ridiculous!　'Sir!'

”Anyone who interferes with our leave will be sent away with a single sound.

You're very reliable.

The horses are very motivated today as they are communicating with each other in ”Negotiating for Life”.

It's going to be a nice day for a vacation.

Sorry for the wait. Nagi-sama!

Cecil and the others, dressed in their swimsuits, come down from the box behind them.

Rita looks embarrassed, Aine has her usual vague look on her face, Iris is squirming, and Raphilia is looking at me with her chest out for some reason.

I looked at everyone and noticed one thing.

It's pretty immoral ...... to wear a collar on your swimsuit.

People don't care about it, and I've gotten used to it recently, so I forgot about it.

If it was my old world, I'm pretty sure I'd be reported or questioned on duty.

...... I'm really glad this is an alternate universe.

'When you get out of the carriage, do your warm-up exercises. Don't go into the deep end. Play in the shallow water.

Let's start with the notes.

When I say this, they all say yes.

They all seem to have never been to the beach before, so I'll use my knowledge of the world to help them out in this area.

'Rita and Aine, look after everyone. Iris is from a port town, but it is her first time swimming, so don't go anywhere she can't find her feet. Cecil too. Raphilia is ...... not to do anything weird.

Again, good answer. Nice and straightforward.

The weather is good. The waves are calm. The snack was made by Aine yesterday.

Raphilia has brought a jowl, so we can increase the fresh water with the 'water purification increase' skill. Hydration is no problem.

You can change your clothes, and a cloth to wipe your body with.

We don't have sandals, so be careful of your feet.

”Yeah. You're ready to go.

I said.

'Well, you can go after gymnastics. I'll keep an eye on your stuff.

「「「「「........................」」」」」

Huh?

Why are you all looking at me like you're nothing?

'This is a world of swords and sorcery and not very safe. So someone has to guard the baggage. And since all the slaves are on vacation right now, I, the master, will guard their backs.

End of proof.

That's one thing I'd like to see up close and personal as everyone else is chattering on the waves, but when you weigh giving a slave a vacation against giving them ...... a vacation is just barely heavier. As a master, I promised myself that this trip would be 'blunt'.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on. I will call you when the time is up. I will call you at the time.

「「「「「 I would like to talk to you, Master! 」」」」」」

...... I was angry.

'There's no way we're going to enjoy this when Nagi-sama isn't here!

Yup, I just had to be brave enough to wear a cute bathing suit.

You can't just leave Nay-kun here and expect her to play with you.

That's not fair, is it?

Hmm. You're going to push it to the limit and make us beg for it. Master.

For some reason, I'm being taught by slave girls about the right way to be a master...

In the meantime, everyone was to play water sports with the luggage guard in rotation.

Rita and Iris' turn.

Iris has been waiting for this day!

Iris stood at the edge of the waves and shouted to the horizon.

The swimsuit I'm wearing is the type that completely covers my shoulders. It's the only type of swimsuit available to Iris, whose ”sea dragon scales” come out when she gets wet. It's like a school swimsuit without the bust and back. It's a good fit for Iris, who has a sleek figure.

I'm sure you'll be able to learn how to swim, then. Rita-sama!

I'll take care of it, little Ilis!

You'll be able to get a great deal more information on this.

The bikini-type swimsuit that Rita is wearing is for Rafilia. It's for Rafilia, so it's a bit awkward to fit, so I had to adjust the knot in the back several times. I see, the orange color looks good on Rita. I'll keep that in mind. As a master.

”Let's see what kind of athleticism you have. ”First, you will stand in the water...

Rita stands in the shallow water and bends forward.

'And keep your face up and move your arms and legs back and forth. Voila, perfect!

It was a dog paddle.

Rita moved back and forth with her face and tail out of the water. And it was fast.

With the athleticism of a beast, the doggy paddle can be high speed.

It's wonderful. Rita. With this, Iris can do it too!

Mmm-hmm. Take a look at Nagi.

Rita huffed and sniffed as she swam.

'You don't have to put your face in the water when you do this. ...... What's this? Waves!'

Saban.

A large wave hit Rita in her dog-scratching state.

”Rita!

Rita caught a side wave and spun around in the shallows.

I grabbed her arm and pulled her up, and she spat out a squirt of water.

...... woo. ooohhhh, what's this? It's sticky. ......

With a shake of her beast ears and tail, Rita sent the soaked seawater flying.

Then she tapped her hair and looked disgusted at the feel of it.

...... The water in the ocean is so sticky and coarse that it's ...... tail and ears feel funny.

Have you ever been swimming, Rita? You've never been swimming before?

'Excuse me!　I'm a great swimmer!

Rita turned bright red and shook her head.

'I've never drowned in a lake and a river before, you know!

The ocean?

If there's no waves, I can swim!

Don't be ridiculous.

I see. You've never been swimming in the ocean, have you, Rita?

Come to think of it, she has.

When she was one of the beastmen, she lived in the forest and then did menial work for the Iturna Order, so how could she have the opportunity to swim in the ocean?

''Um, Rita-sama, can you teach me how to swim ......?''

Iris came out of the water and looked into Rita's face as she sat flat on the beach.

'Wait a minute, Iris. Until the waves have completely calmed down.

When will that be ......?

Well.

I decided to teach her how to swim.

We had swim lessons in elementary and junior high school, so I can teach you the basics.

Five minutes later.

'My brother has a great teaching style!

Zaba-baba-baba-baba-baba.

Iris crosses the shallow water in a beautiful crawl.

Swaying her body, she turns as it is. More acceleration.

My form is completely consistent.

He's already surpassed even me, the teacher, and his swim is just like that of an aquatic creature.

I mean, I didn't teach anything that advanced: .......

Disclosing the status of Iris-Hafeumea.

I call up Iris' information.

In the list of skills displayed in the window, there was an increase in 'Swimming', which wasn't there before.

The level is '2' or even '3'.

I'll go up another four?

How come it only took you so long?　I just taught him how to crawl and get his feet wet.

'Oh yeah, ...... 'Blood of the Sea Dragon' or ......

The blood and genes of the 'Sea Dragon Kerkator' inside Iris were awakened by entering the sea.

As I recall, Iris said she had never been in the sea before.

During the Festival of the Sea Dragons, they would dip into the seawater for the ceremony, but they wouldn't swim.

So Iris didn't know that she was good at swimming until now.

If you think about it, 'Kerkator the Sea Dragon' is like a god who lives in the sea, so it's strange that Iris, who has that blood, doesn't have an aptitude for swimming.

Maybe the reason why the sea dragon priestesses weren't let out until now was because if you let them near the sea, they could swim away .......

'...... Hey, Nagi.'

...... What's up, Rita?

I'm ...... not sure what to do.

Rita is sitting on the floor next to me.

It took Iris five minutes to get her 'swimming' skills. It's the least I can do.

”Illyss, you've got me all convinced. ......

Rita's the strongest on land, so who cares?

In the water?

I can swim in the rivers and lakes, so that's not a problem.

But I'm .......

Rita looked at me, as if she missed me.

'I hate that I can't be of any use to Nagi at sea ......

I don't think we'll be fighting at sea.

So if something were to happen to Nagi: ......?

Never. How can you be sure?

We're going to be living in a port city now. Let's at least think about what to do about it.

First of all, Rita doesn't like seawater - or rather, she hates it.

She doesn't like her beast ears and tail to be submerged in tidal water, and she doesn't like being sticky.

In other words, if only there was a way to move without going into the ocean.

And Rita has amazing mobility and the Divine Power.

The Divine Power strengthens Rita's limbs. In a sense, it's like 'chi' in the original world.

In other words, it's good if there's a way to move without putting your face in the seawater.

-That is.

”You know what, Rita?

Hey, Nagi.

'I'd like to try something. May I?

That was amazing, Lady Rita!

Iris is staring at the scene in front of her.

She bobs her arms and jumps, shaking her green hair.

You're showing your respect for Rita with all your tiny body parts.

Well, well, well!

Rita kicked the surface of the water with her toes.

''For a 'super athletic cheat character, Rita-Melpheus,' this kind of thing is a piece of cake!

The ”sacred power” that Rita focused on one point creates a repulsive force, and her thin body flies through the air.

Jumping high, Rita lands directly on the surface of the water (・・・・・).

With a small ripple, she runs above the water.

'I didn't think I could ...... really do it,'

In the original world games and novels, there was a story about walking on the surface of the water by concentrating your 'ki'.

And I thought that Rita's athletic ability and 'sacred power' would allow her to do the same thing. ...... I didn't think it would be possible. As expected of a cheat character, Rita-Melpheus.

When fighting demons, Rita concentrates her ”Divine Power” on her limbs to strengthen her body.

It's like covering her limbs with an invisible barrier (barrier).

Right now, I'm weakening that barrier and widening it out to make it look like a small board.

It's not enough to strengthen my legs, but I can at least stand on the surface of the water for a second.

That's how Rita is able to run on the water.

That's great, Nagi. I never would have thought of anything like this.

Rita kicks the surface of the water and does a somersault. She lands on the sandy beach.

'This will help me, Nagi, in the ocean!

'It's the same with Iris. I had no idea I was a good swimmer.

Thanks to what master taught me!

I can't thank my brother enough!

Iris!

Dear Rita!

Rita and Iris held each other's hands and held them high.

'Rita-Melpheus and Iris-Hapheumea have overcome their rigorous training and have finally gained new powers!

'No, I'm just here for fun today. This isn't a training exercise!

Iris-Hapheumea has a new skill set!

”Swimming Lv 4

A skill acquired at high speed by the blood of a sea dragon.

It allows you to swim like a fish in the water.

The distance is several kilometers. He is as fast as a high school student's intercollegiate athletic competition.

Rita Melpheus has mastered the ”water walking” technique!

Through the application of the Divine Power Grip, Rita can now walk on water.

The duration of continuous use is from a few minutes to a dozen minutes, during which time she can walk on the water as well as on the ground. During this time, she can walk on the water just like on the ground.

However, since she needs to concentrate her Divine Power on both of her legs, she will not be able to defend her body and arms.

It should only be considered an emergency ability.
