Chapter 417: The Beach and Sunscreen
Seeing everyone come down, Fujiwara Chika happily stood up from the sofa and jogged over, saying, "You guys are so slow! I've been waiting for ages!"
It was already dramatic when she was sitting, but now that she was running, "turbulent waves" wasn't enough to describe the sight before them.
Kaede couldn't help but feel a tickle in his nose. Luckily, Eriri, standing beside him, immediately raised her hand to cover his eyes. Otherwise, Kaede wasn't sure if he would have gotten a nosebleed.
Eriri was naturally shocked by Fujiwara Chika's figure, and at the same time, she saw the look in Kaede's eyes. It was impossible to say she wasn't angry.
But to say she was very angry wasn't true, because Fujiwara Chika's figure was truly too stunning.
Utaha watched the interaction between the two, looked down at herself, thought for a moment, and decided to wait until they reached the beach.
After a brief moment of absentmindedness, Shinomiya Kaguya finally reverted to her composed self as the Shinomiya Ojou-sama. She looked at Fujiwara Chika and said, "Fujiwara-san, please wait a little longer. The others should be coming down soon too."
"Alright~~~"
After responding, Fujiwara Chika looked at the girls wearing cover-ups and said, "Kaguya-san, why are you all wearing something else? Once we get to the beach, wouldn't it be fine to just wear swimsuits?"
Shinomiya Kaguya would never admit to being shy, but she already had an excuse ready.
"The sun is so strong outside, so we need to apply sunscreen after we get there. It's better to wear a cover-up for now." Glancing at the breathtaking jiggle, Shinomiya Kaguya took a deep breath and said, "Fujiwara-san, you should put on a cover-up too, or you'll get very sunburned outside."
"Hmm~~~ That does seem true."
Nodding, Fujiwara Chika glanced at the weather outside, then ran upstairs to retrieve her cover-up from her room.
"Fujiwara-senpai, I'll go with you!"
Iino Miko, who had also changed into her swimsuit but whose figure was vastly different from Fujiwara Chika's, blushed and followed closely upstairs.
Only then did Eriri lower her hands from covering Kaede's eyes, puffing out her cheeks and poking his waist.
Kaede gave a wry smile and didn't bother offering an explanation, as he truly had been staring blankly for a moment.
Patting Eriri's head, Kaede went over to the sofa and sat down with Takasu and Kitamura.
After sitting down, Kitamura Yusaku finally spoke his first words. He adjusted his glasses and said in a voice only the three boys could hear, "That was truly breathtaking. This beach trip has already been worth it!"
Although Takasu Ryuji didn't respond, he clearly hadn't recovered yet either.
It wasn't that there were no busty girls these days, but Fujiwara Chika was clearly the type where the parts that should be large were large, and the parts that should be small didn't have an ounce of extra flesh.
The two young boys were currently using all their strength to restrain themselves from having an inappropriate reaction.
Seeing Takasu Ryuji's expression, Kaede knowingly patted his shoulder and said, "Two options. One is to go for a swim to cool down. Two is to wait for Taiga to come down, and then you'll calm down."
"Huh? Why would Taiga..."
Halfway through his sentence, Takasu Ryuji instantly understood. He looked at Kaede with regret and said, "You really have the nerve to say that."
"Hahaha! Don't forget, I'm not afraid of that girl. She's all arms and legs; only you would get hit by her."
Takasu Ryuji found himself unable to refute that.
Soon, everyone else came down one after another. Just as Kaede had predicted, Takasu Ryuji inexplicably calmed down after seeing Aisaka Taiga come downstairs.
Takasu Ryuji's mood was subtle at the moment. He sighed imperceptibly and went to the kitchen with the other boys, each carrying two ice buckets filled with cold drinks, before leaving the villa.
The private beach was right in front of the villa, just a short walk away.
This entire area was private property, so no strangers would come to disturb them, and everyone could play around freely here.
Sun umbrellas and lounge chairs were neatly lined up on the beach, all prepared, so they didn't need to worry about a thing.
"Wow!!! The ocean!!!"
Upon seeing the boundless ocean, Fujiwara Chika cheered and wanted to rush over, but thankfully she was held back by Iino Miko, who was beside her.
"Senpai, you need to put on sunscreen first, and you haven't done any warm-up exercises. You can't go in the water yet!"
"Ahaha, I forgot, I'm too excited!"
Scratching her head, Fujiwara Chika followed Iino Miko back under the sun umbrella.
Regarding sunscreen, the girls had all brought some, so there was no chance of running out.
Holding the bottle of sunscreen, Eriri smiled sweetly and said to Kaede, "Kaede-kun, lie down. I'll put it on you!"
"Alright."
Kaede naturally had no objections, and he would only let Eriri help him.
He certainly couldn't let the other guys do it, could he? That would feel a bit gay.
He had just barely lain down and wasn't ready when Eriri's small hand, smeared with sunscreen, touched his back. It was cool and felt quite nice.
Closing his eyes, Kaede said comfortably, "Mmm, a little higher, and use a bit more force."
Hearing Kaede say that, Eriri couldn't help but laugh and slowly started applying pressure.
However, Eriri's strength was limited; even when she put effort into it, it didn't amount to much for Kaede—it was more like a massage.
When she was almost done applying it to his back, Eriri squeezed out a little more, ready to continue, but suddenly noticed several people gathered around her.
"What are you guys... doing?"
Colette, who was squatting next to Kaede, reached out and poked Kaede's arm, saying curiously, "I didn't realize Senpai's muscles were so developed. That looks amazing."
The other girls nodded in agreement. Kawashima Ami once again tried to reach out with her mischievous hand, but this time she was stopped by Utaha, who pulled her toward a blanket nearby.
"Let's go, I'll help you put on sunscreen."
"Aww~~~ You? I wanted Asakura-kun to put it on me!"
"Don't even think about it!" Eriri flatly refused, then said to Utaha, "Utaha, give her a good lesson later. With time, Ami is becoming more and more brazen!"
"I wouldn't dare."
Utaha chuckled and said, "What if I'm too rough, and then Ami intentionally pulls my swimsuit off when she puts sunscreen on me later? I can't handle that happening."
As she spoke, Utaha took off her cover-up, revealing her excellent figure in a deep purple bikini.
Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Fujiwara Chika's, it still stood out among the crowd of females.
Over on the guys' side not far away, Kitamura Yusaku pushed up his glasses and muttered, "I take back what I just said. All things considered, Kasumigaoka-senpai is superior."
