Chapter 125:
What the hell is going on today? I only massaged her while applying sunscreen. Other than that, I didn’t do anything directly.
I took a moment to assess the situation.
“Ha
Lisanna, blushing and panting, her cheeks turning pink.
My hand touching her smooth back.
And finally, the female group witnessing this scene.
‘Damn.’
Let’s be objective.
In this world, polygamy is allowed among the nobility.
But even so, it’s hard for people not to feel jealous.Especially for women with yandere tendencies.
So, what I’m trying to say is…
“I’m screwed.”
As soon as I finished speaking, the female group slowly approached us.
Lisanna couldn’t help us at this moment.
I turned my head towards Kage.
“Damn.”
When did that girl run away?
She only yelled for about three seconds.
Three seconds might be a generous amount of time in a fight between superhumans.
‘But still.’
Who could’ve predicted that she would run away so soon?
As I looked for Kage’s missing figure, I realized something.
“…?!”
I understood one thing. Why Kage had enhanced her body just to yell.
‘This Girl… She was planning this.’
She didn’t enhance her body just to yell.
Even without that, at least one person would have heard her.
Therefore, there was no reason for her to enhance her body just to yell.
The reason she did it was obviously…
‘To run away.’
Otherwise, there’s no reason for her to disappear without a trace in just three seconds. I’m sures he planned this beforehand.
Even though Kage is smart for her age, she’s still a kid.
So, she must have planned this beforehand or spotted us and waited for the right moment.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come up with this idea so quickly.
While I was thinking this, the female group, including Lise, approached us.
They came with shadows on their faces.
What’s going on? Why do I feel like I’m in a horror movie?
“Ahem. I think there’s a misunderstanding here.”
“Misunderstanding? It seems like you’ve crossed the line here. Look at her blushing face and heavy breathing. It’s obvious that something happened.”
Skaye responded with a cold voice.
Eileen nodded in agreement, her face turning red, and continued.
“Yes. And why are there sticky, transparent fluids on both of you?”
“Well…”
Before I could finish my sentence, Ange narrowed her eyes and spoke.
“And finally… Her bra strap is also untied.”
Damn.
Hearing their story, I have no words to defend myself.
The situation clearly suggests that we did something inappropriate.
As I was about to make an excuse, surprisingly,
“Hoo… It seems there’s a misunderstanding.”
Lisanna sighed behind me, her words carrying a lingering tone.
The female group, including me, turned their heads towards her.
As Lisanna was about to tie her bra strap,
“Young Master, you shouldn’t look.”
Lise blocked my vision with her hands.
I considered using my sight-seeing skill to see, but unfortunately, she had already changed.
“As Senior said, it’s a misunderstanding. We didn’t do anything inappropriate.”
“How can we trust your words?”
Ange looked at us with a skeptical gaze.
Lisanna, probably still dazed from my massage, spoke up.
“First of all, the transparent fluid is nothing special.”
Lisanna took out the sunscreen.
She continued to explain.
“And the reason I was blushing and sweating was because it was hot. You were in the sea, so you probably didn’t notice the heat.”
Oh, is this the same Lisanna who always gets verbally abused by Willy?
Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations, but she’s doing better than I thought.
It’s like she was prepared for this.
Seeing her like this, I felt like hugging her.
If the other women weren’t here, I might have hugged her without hesitation.
That’s how cool she is now.
The female group was speechless, their mouths shut tight like they had eaten honey.
Changing tactics, Lise turned to me.
“Young Master, is that true?”
“Well, yeah. I was just applying sunscreen.”
It’s not a lie.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but it’s not a lie, to be honest.
“Hmm…”
She narrowed her eyes and stared at me.
She then pinched my cheek and nodded.
“It doesn’t seem like you’re lying, Young Master.”
Wait, do I have that kind of habit?
I was surprised by this unknown habit of mine. Lise continued.
“Then, Young Master, could you apply sunscreen for us too?”
“Huh?”
Skaye nodded in agreement.
“Yes, Kaine, please apply it for us too.”
“Yes. It’s only fair if you do it for us too, Kaine.”
Eileen agreed with a sympathetic expression, and finally, Ange concluded.
“Lise, it’s only fair if Kaine applies it for us too.”
I looked at Lise.
Am I imagining it, or are there nine fox tails behind her?
She seemed to be smiling seductively.
In reality, she had a calm expression.
When I thought I had been fooled,
“But you’re already wet, aren’t you?”
Lisanna spoke up on my behalf.
Lise made a sullen face.
Lisanna responded with a triumphant expression.
“If you’re already wet, how can you apply sunscreen? It might ruin your precious skin.”
“Well…”
“And since there are four of you, you can take turns applying it for each other. If we weren’t alone, I would have asked someone else to do it.”
What’s up with her today?
Usually, she would be cautious in front of Ange, but today she’s talking non-stop like a wild horse.
As I looked around, I realized the reason.
‘Ah, that’s why.’
I understood immediately.
The reason she was talking so fluently.
It’s because Lian is watching us from behind the female group.
Even though Ange is a bold woman, she wouldn’t do something like that in front of her mother.
Lisanna knew this, so she was taking advantage of the situation as much as possible.
As if today was her last chance.
Unaware of what might happen later.
‘I hope she doesn’t get beaten up later.’
I felt a bit worried, but I knew it wouldn’t be fatal.
If she crosses the line too much, I can intervene.
As I was thinking this, Lisanna’s final words ended the situation.
“And if you apply it now, Senior might not like it. If you do it wrong, your skin might become wrinkled.”
The four women looked stunned at her words.
Lisanna smiled at me, as if she had won.
And so, the morning water play ended like this.
By the way, before going into the sea in the afternoon, the female group asked me to apply sunscreen for them.
I refused adamantly.
I knew what would happen afterward.
________________________________________
Afternoon.
After lunch, we gathered at the beach again.
I looked at Kage, who had three layers of lumps on her forehead.
“Hey, can I hit you one more time?”
“Eek! That’s enough!”
Kage glared at me with bulging eyes.
Indeed, just looking at her lumps, it seemed like enough.
‘She’s so annoying.’
I was thinking about whether to hit Kage or not when
“Ugh…”
Skaye blushed and looked embarrassed.
I turned my head to see why she was acting like that, and she covered her stomach with her hand.
“What’s wrong? Why are you covering it?”
I looked at her with a puzzled expression, specifically at her stomach, which she was covering with her arm.
“Hey… Stop looking! It’s embarrassing!”
What’s going on? I tilted my head in confusion, and Jenny solved my question.
“She says her stomach is sticking out after lunch.”
“Oh…”
I immediately understood.
To me, her waist looked as slender as it did in the morning, but she seemed to feel differently.
I nodded and looked at the other women.
Unlike Skaye, they had prepared for this situation by wearing beach hoodies.
Sigh. I didn’t understand.
I took out my beach hoodie from the Space Ring and handed it to Skaye, who was blushing and covering her stomach.
“If you’re embarrassed, wear this.”
“Huh?”
Did she not expect me to lend her my clothes?
Skaye looked stunned.
Then, she took my clothes with a determined look in her eyes.
“I’ll wash it and return it to you later, Kaine.”
“Sure, whatever.”
I shrugged my shoulders and answered, but I felt a piercing gaze from behind.
I ignored it and spoke.
“To complete the quest, we need to go deep into the sea. I’ll definitely go with Skaye, and I plan to take two more people. Who wants to come?”
Lise, Ange, Lisanna, and Eileen raised their hands without hesitation.
The next moment, their gazes met in the air, as if they were determined not to give in.
“Then, let the four of you decide among yourselves, and the rest don’t need to worry about it.”
Jenny, Lian, Willy, and Kage nodded, indicating that they didn’t mind.
I remembered the message from the Constellation.
Hmm. By the way, why did she ask for only four people?
While discussing the quest with the client, the Constellation sent me a message.
There’s a dungeon in the sea, and they wanted me to come with only three others.
Judging by the Constellation’s message, the giant kraken should be in the dungeon.
And it’s likely that the Constellation prepared the dungeon for us.
Otherwise, there’s no reason for them to ask us to go there.
Yeah, I was wondering why the Constellation hasn’t descended yet.
I’m not sure if the kraken was in the dungeon from the beginning.
But judging by the Constellation’s reaction, they probably put it there.
Otherwise, there’s no reason for the giant kraken to stay there.
And it’s likely that the Constellation is preparing a surprise for us in the dungeon.
‘What is she preparing that she hasn’t descended yet?’
I had a bad feeling, but it wasn’t a problem for us.
It would be easier to fight the giant kraken in the dungeon than in the sea.
The only disappointing thing was that only four people were allowed to go.
‘Whatever.’
There’s a Constellation there, so no one is likely to die.
As I was thinking leisurely, I heard a cheer.
It seemed like they had decided who would go.
“Who’s going?”
“Me and Ange.”
Lise pointed to herself and Ange, with a proud smile.
She seemed to be in a good mood.
I turned my head to the other two women.
They looked indifferent, as if they didn’t care.
I ignored their reaction and spoke.
“Then, let’s quickly go and catch the squid.”
The other three nodded, and we headed towards the event prepared by the Constellation, using the low-level magic of breathing.
At that moment, I didn’t know that I, unlike the other women, was heading towards hell.
