“How did it turn out like this?” I responded helplessly.

I had seen the girls looking heated, and we had an afternoon to spare, so I thought that heading to the beach would be a good idea. Somehow this caused us to end up at a swimsuit store. I had thought that this world’s idea of swimsuits was nonexistent. It wouldn’t have been surprising if they just swam in plain clothing or something like that. However, I was mistaken. If there was any proof that this world was truly just a video game developed by a group of horny men, I think it showed in the access to swimsuits.

It turned out this world had a wide assortment of swimming attire, and Kingsport wasn’t just known for boats, but also as a retreat for vacations. The beaches were plenty and so were the swimsuit stores. As a result, the girls ended up taking a small fortune of my treasure to spend on swimsuits at one of the finer establishments. Well, it was money well spent, so I shouldn’t complain about it.

“Can you even get wet?” Raissa asked Terra.

“Our first time was under a waterfall. We made love in the gentle currents surrounded by nature.” Terra explained.

“Ahhh? My first time was being pushed on the floor in a stadium surrounded by hundreds of horny spectators who wanted to see me cry! Why are our first times so drastically different!”

Yes, for various reasons, what started out as just a stress release for Deek’s Party ended up becoming a festival. Raissa ended up being invited, and somehow this brought along the Guild Master, the Mayor, and Astria from Chalm. Somehow, Salicia and Carmine ended up being invited too, along with their three shady managers. Then one of the girls suggested inviting Eliana. She happened to be in the company of Mary and her brother, so the prince, princess, and archbishop also showed up, as well as Octius and Otto who overheard them being invited and barged in.

As to how, well, since I could give Portal to the girls, giving a point for Reset, I could make as many as twenty-seven portals if I needed to. As it turned out, I could borrow their DP with my Slave Skill Sharing ability. It wouldn’t work for experience or third jobs, which would be used by them and need to be cast continuously, but if it came to spells, I could borrow them in the same way as if they bought a DP sword and handed it to me.

“To invite me on a date… my… oh my…” Octius grinned.

“Who invited you!”

“We have to return to the border tomorrow. Since it’s cheaper resource-wise to travel from Kingsport than the castle for various reasons, I’m sorry we intruded.” Otto gave me a nod exactly perfect for people of the same rank, seemingly having grown more serious over time. “Although it’s been a while since I’ve relaxed on a beach.”

“Rumor has it that you just took down another dungeon in a single day! You’re truly a man’s man!” The Prince gave a thumbs up.

I thought he might add something like, ‘if only you put that much effort into saving my father’, but he seemed to have a relaxed attitude when it came to the king. As a matter of fact, so did Eliana, who didn’t seem to mind her father’s disappearance either. Neither made it the pressing matter that it should have been. Just what kind of king was this guy?

“Deek, the girls are ready to show you their swimsuits now! We’ll head out to the beach first!” The shopkeeping lady declared with a knowing grin.

“Even though I’m the Prince of Aberis, I can only see their freshly swimsuited bodies second hand!”

“Well, it’s not like I’m interested in seeing this. I’m heading to the beach now.” Otto shrugged.

“Let’s let the young lord have his fun!” The Guild Master and Mayor walked off too, dragging the shady Drake and his cronies Danny and Brick away with them even though they complained about wanting to watch.

The Prince reluctantly left too, not wanting to start another incident if his sister hit him with a shoe. Actually, he would have probably been fine with that, but he seemed a bit wary of Mary. Her blows were much more savage. Carl couldn’t make it because a book had rendered him unconscious, supposedly.

“The girls are just going to show me what swimsuits they picked out… why is everyone acting like this is some kind of great moment?”
