"I finally escaped a disaster."
Izumi Chihiro secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he realize that he had gotten himself into a bit too much trouble, but in reality, he was just going with the flow and adapting to circumstances.
Could this be the so-called romantic luck that a light novel protagonist must possess?
That is, if he really were the protagonist.
"The sun is really strong, I feel my dark powers are being restricted."
Gokou Ruri shielded her eyes with one hand, looking up at the sky, inadvertently spouting chuunibyou lines.
Everyone present was a veteran of the'second dimension' and didn't pay too much attention, understanding the meaning of her words.
"They say it really hurts to shower after sunbathing."
Kani Nayuta said worriedly.
"We should apply sunscreen first, otherwise, our skin will easily be affected."
Yamada Elf took out a bottle of sunscreen, clearly well-prepared.
So, with the item in hand, who would be the one to apply it?
This was a question.
Everyone's gaze subtly fell on him. Was this the so-called 'fan service' time for the swimsuit chapter?
"Why are you all looking at me?"
Izumi Chihiro deliberately played dumb.
"Senpai, Nayuta needs Senpai's meticulous personal service, is that okay?"
Kani Nayuta directly hugged his arm, trying to soften his attitude with her chest.
Was he that kind of person?
"Personal service is out, but if it's just applying sunscreen... I can do it."
His expression was calm.
"Ni-san, I... I want some too."
With one hand pressed to her chest, Sagiri bravely spoke loudly.
"I understand."
He nodded.
He naturally couldn't refuse his sister's request.
Senju Muramasa, however, stood frozen, her face flushed.
This kind of thing, for her, was temporarily unacceptable, because she was afraid she would get too excited, and if she made strange noises, it would be social death!
Gokou Ruri walked proactively towards Yamada Elf and said, "Later, let's apply it for each other."
"Oh oh oh oh..."
Yamada Elf reacted.
The remaining Kasumigaoka Utaha and Senju Muramasa exchanged glances, reluctantly compromising and helping each other.
'I originally wanted to have a few rounds with Scumbag-kun, but exchanging with Senju Muramasa isn't bad either.'
Kasumigaoka Utaha secretly thought with regret.
...
"Senpai, right there, it feels so good, mmm~ A little lower!"
"Any lower and it'll be 'indescribable'."
"Exactly, it has to be 'indescribable', Nayuta's whole body needs to be covered! Feel Senpai's palm temperature."
"That's enough, and... don't make strange noises, otherwise, I won't do it anymore."
"I understand, Senpai, uwu... Senpai, please do whatever you want with Nayuta!"
As he spoke, Izumi Chihiro applied sunscreen to Kani Nayuta's body.
Beside them, Sagiri, listening to Nayuta's suggestive remarks, suddenly felt her face hotter than the surrounding air temperature.
'It's all Nayuta Onee-san's fault, always making me think strange things...'
Sagiri patted her cheeks to clear her head.
"Alright, it's your turn, Sagiri."
Izumi Chihiro gestured for his sister to come over.
"Eh, is it over already?"
Kani Nayuta still felt a bit unsatisfied, so she said, "Senpai, let me apply some to your back!"
"Hmm... okay."
He considered it for a moment, then replied.
What followed was this scene: Sagiri lay on the beach mat, Izumi Chihiro applied sunscreen to his sister's back, while Nayuta applied it to his back.
'Ni-san's hands are so big and strong... Are all boys like this?'
'There's such a warm feeling.'
Sagiri unconsciously began to enjoy it.
It was probably because his Strength was quite suitable.
"Nayuta, what are you doing?"
Izumi Chihiro glanced back.
Kani Nayuta showed no embarrassment, smiling as she said, "Ah, I thought you were working too hard, Senpai, so I wanted to give you a massage."
"That's not how you massage, hey!"
He complained.
The girl was too close, causing the sensation in a certain area to be too real and too stimulating.
After some fuss, everyone finally put on a layer of protection and could enjoy playing in the sun.
Next up was the familiar event everyone knew—beach volleyball.
There were seven people present, but Senju Muramasa was still not used to such 'public exposure.' Just wearing a bikini was enough to make her shy, let alone playing ball in one.
For 3v3, the teams were quickly decided.
"Ni-san, I want to be with you."
"Senpai, let's fight side by side!"
Their expressions were too strong, and no one else wanted to compete with them.
"As an enemy, it would be very interesting to defeat sensei!"
Gokou Ruri's smile deepened.
"I can't wait to destroy you, Scumbag-kun. I'll make you realize how miserable the consequences for a philanderer can be!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's mouth curled into a playful smirk; she had entered a pathological state of madness, now displaying a terrifying level of facial expressions exceeding seventy percent.
"Hmph hmph, this time, I, Yamada Elf, will lead everyone to defeat the arrogant Great Demon King 'Izumi Old Thief' and restore peace to the light novel world!"
Yamada Elf's demeanor also became excited as she raised her arm and shouted.
"It seems everyone is eager to win."
Izumi Chihiro remained calm on the surface, but he was a little flustered inside.
The combat power of both sides seemed to be evenly matched; it was hard to say who would win or lose.
"A simple win or loss is meaningless; there must be a wager… How about this: whoever loses, that team will be responsible for dinner tonight!"
Yamada Elf said before the serve.
"Elf, your desire to win is strong, but I agree."
He nodded in agreement.
A great battle was about to erupt!
Amidst the undulating waves, it was not easy to concentrate on the movement of the ball. Izumi Chihiro tried his best to focus, but his biological instincts were uncontrollable.
This factor greatly reduced his combat power, and he was not an expert in this field either.
Then he was thoroughly humiliated and lost the game.
"Scumbag-kun, which ball were you looking at just now?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes were playful, and she patted the sand clinging to a certain spot on her hand.
'Too white, so white it's a bit dazzling.'
Izumi Chihiro briefly commented in his heart, then with great willpower, he averted his gaze.
"Kasumigaoka Utaha…!! That move just now… that was too much of a foul!"
Kani Nayuta glared angrily and went to argue with her.
…
"I'm sorry, Ni-san, I held you back."
Sagiri lowered her small head, looking very dejected.
"No, it's just that I'm not strong enough. How can a big brother rely on his little sister!"
Izumi Chihiro straightened his sister's body and then comforted her.
