While I did see it in the original work, the swimsuits in this other world were bolder than I expected.
Thinking about it, the bikinis we see in anime are surprisingly rare in design. Sure, you see plenty at the beach, but swimsuit designs vary widely, and there are those who don’t wear swimsuits at all. Many people just wear regular clothes into the water and change after.
I think there were lots of swimsuits that covered almost the entire upper body, though.
But typical of a game like this, every person around me wore swimsuits that managed to show skin no matter what. There were one-piece swimsuits, at least.
Swimsuits… we chose for each other. Naturally, the two male characters were excluded.
Me, Alice, Claire, Charlotte. And Mia Crowfield and Sophia, Rena. Roti too.
Since it wasn’t voluntary, our swimsuits ended up having pretty daring designs.
“I mean, how is this any different from when I was a bunny girl?”
“Well, at least I don’t think the guys will be bothering us.”
Still, when I relaxed, I wasn’t panicking like Alice. The gazes we attracted were rather annoying and embarrassing, but most of them were filled with admiration. It was different from the creepy stares I got as a bunny girl.
Is that the same? Whatever.
Alice and I selected typical bikinis for each other. Mine was black, and Alice’s was sky blue. Somehow, it did remind me of our last bunny girl outfits matching, but let’s just forget about that.
Carried away by the atmosphere, Charlotte and Claire ended up in similar bikinis.
Claire’s was a deep blue to match her hair color. But at least, it had much more fabric than mine. It wasn’t like mine, which looked like two tiny scraps held together by strings. In terms of design, it seemed like a sturdy piece of fabric was tied up, and while it looked like it could come undone, there were real ties inside, so it wouldn’t fall apart.
Well, considering that these swimsuits are sold to nobles, they should be sturdy enough.
Charlotte’s swimsuit was white. While the exposure wasn’t much different from ours, she wore a slightly sheer top over it, which covered her skin a bit.
Of course, being ‘sheer,’ it could look very revealing depending on who wore it.
Plus, while Charlotte seemed unaware, in this age, those kinds of sheer materials couldn’t possibly be waterproof. Given that waterproof fabric is basically natural rubber bonded with cloth, it’s obvious that if rubber is in the middle, it couldn’t be sheer like that.
If Charlotte went into the water, that fabric would stick to her body.
…I suppose it’d end up looking like her clothes clung to her skin and made it seem like her underwear was showing.
That’s how it was in the original work.
Should I have given a warning in advance?
“Hmph. Does a crown princess have no confidence in her own body?”
“What? You’re the one hiding behind a covering. Isn’t that because you’re lacking confidence?”
“M-my skin is sensitive to sunlight! I might get a sunburn, you know?”
“C’mon, it’s not that serious!”
Caught in our aggressive swimsuit picking, it seemed Charlotte reluctantly wore such a swimsuit too.
As for the remaining people who weren’t embroiled in the argument—
Sophia wore a fairly decent swimsuit, similar in design to Claire’s, dyed in purple to match her hair. However, her pupils were trembling hard. It seemed like the ‘group’ was being compared to her body in many ways.
Especially with the size of certain areas…
…Don’t worry. You’re the weird one; she’s just normal. If you see the stares in your direction, you’d certainly think that way.
Looking at Rena, Roti, and Mia Crowfield beside me, the answers were clear.
…….
By the way, there really are a lot of girls. Not just in the noble class, but looking at the people grouped around.
There are only Leo and Jake as the males. Jake’s only staring at Roti, while Leo is… the favored one.
It’s just that Alice and I stand out a bit too much, but the other kids don’t look bad in their swimsuits either. No, rather, they fit their swimsuits quite well.
Rena… for some reason was wearing a swimsuit strikingly similar in design to mine. Her face was a bit red, but her bold attitude didn’t make it feel inappropriate. Perhaps it’s just that I firmly have the impression that she’s a year younger than me.
Mia Crowfield wore a black one-piece. While the absolute size of her important areas didn’t match Alice or mine, Mia was a bit shorter. So the proportions felt slightly different. Considering the gazes directed at her, it seemed others could view her the same way.
And Roti.
Roti also wore a similar one-piece swimsuit.
If Mia Crowfield’s one-piece looked oddly accentuated due to its shape, Roti’s slightly taller and well-proportioned body suited her swimsuit in another way. With her build resembling that of a swimmer, the black one-piece with white lining enhanced that vibe even more.
Looking over at Jake, he seemed unable to take his eyes off Roti.
…Hmm.
I did cause a scene to see those two play around, but now that I’ve encountered this atmosphere, it strangely made my stomach hurt.
Damn it, I should have been a male character too. Of course, I didn’t get the choice in the first place.
As I was lost in thought, watching Leo, who seemed at a loss where to look, there was a babble from somewhere.
Right. There was also this event.
Carolyn, tricked by Jennifer, ended up wearing a bikini with a very aggressive design.
Her usual demeanor—no, even in this situation, Carolyn’s face remained innocent and unaware, yet she was wearing an even bolder swimsuit than mine.
Her face turned bright red as she repeatedly covered and uncovered her body with her hands. Hiding it was making it seem like she was even more naked, and if she lowered her hands, the swimsuit appeared clearly visible.
Just so you know, this game is rated for 15 and up in Korea, mainly due to its suggestive content.
Players highlighted Carolyn’s scenes as the main reason for that.
Thank goodness the game graphics aren’t too realistic; otherwise, it could have been precarious.
That’s what I thought, observing Carolyn’s body.
Speaking of which, if I consistently trigger Carolyn’s event, I might see a scene like that again… at the school pool.
This incidental event is quite crucially linked to this scene.
Could the same happen in this world too?
I glanced at Leo, but upon making eye contact, he merely blushed and looked away.
…Somehow, he seems even more clueless than he was in the original.
Is it just my imagination?

Still, thanks to Carolyn, the gazes that had been on us diverted for a moment, and we quickly moved to a corner of the beach to take a seat.
“Phew.”
Alice sighed in relief as she sat down.
“At least it’s good that people aren’t gathering around us here…”
“Well, first off, it’s Lindbergh’s property.”
In response to Charlotte’s words, Jake shrugged.
“Alright!”
As we gathered together, Claire cheered.
“Since we’ve come to the beach, we should have all the fun we can! Come to think of it, this is my first time at the sea!”
Ah… is that so?
Well, even for nobles, getting to play at the beach like this shouldn’t be very easy. Even without attending school, there’s plenty they need to learn.
“Right, big sister? Let’s hurry and go play!”
Claire quickly grabbed my arm and started to pull me up, but suddenly a thought crossed my mind.
I can’t swim!
No, more importantly, can Claire swim? Leo could swim in the original, so there’s a high chance Claire can too.
“Wait.”
Claire halted immediately at the sound of my voice.
“…Wouldn’t it be better to bring some drinks first?”
Good.
Anyway, Alice can’t swim either.
Then making Alice get into the water before me would definitely benefit me.
“Oh, right!”
Fortunately, Claire reacted as I’d hoped—
“Th-then I’ll go too!”
Whether she read my mind or just trying to delay getting into the water for a moment, Alice quickly stood up to follow us.
…Somehow, getting Alice into the water before me didn’t seem easy.
