Chapter 340 - Leisure

"Uuuuoh! As expected of Nii-sama!" exclaimed Rukia, excitedly clapping the tips of her fingers together in response to Byuakuya's sand sculpture, depicting a cute, cartoonish penguin with a surfboard.

'It's good to see they're getting along...' mused Vahn, modeling obsidian-grey swim trunks and shades as he observed the scene of brother-sister bonding from atop a red-and-green-striped beach towel, propped up by his elbows. One of his conditions for permitting the Soul Society to send their people over was sending Byakuya with them, and with some gentle prodding from Venelana, the stoic, taciturn man had been spending more and more time with his younger, adopted sister.

'Her butt looks really cute right now...I kind of want to go over and pinch it...' thought Vahn, his gaze focusing on Rukia's perky bottom, peeking out slightly from beneath her beach jacket and the sides of her white, flower-pattern bikini.

(I'm not sure Byakuya-san would approve) hummed Sis, giggling within Vahn's mind.

'True enough...' thought Vahn, shifting his gaze to his right, where seven different women were lined up on their bellies, providing him a tantalizing view of their bubbly, sunscreened asses in a row. A similar view existed to his left, placing him in an exceedingly enviable position.

"It's 40,000 Berries to stare, 400,000 to gawk..." muttered Nami, the girl immediately to Vahn's right, her turquoise and white-striped top undone so she could get an even tan across her back.

"I can afford much more..." hummed Vahn, prompting Nami to open her eyes and stare at him contemplatively for several seconds. Then, rolling her eyes, she turned her head in the opposite direction, muttering, "Not today..." in a faint tone.

"Mmn..."

Well aware that Nami was on her period, Vahn chose not to push his luck any further. Instead, he returned his gaze to the packed beach, assisting the two versions of himself on lifeguard duty. Anyone who drowned would simply respawn, but since that wouldn't erase the trauma, he kept a close eye on the children present and several others for any groups of men that grew too zealous or assertive in their attempts to pick up the many bikini-clad beauties lining the beach.

'Oh? That's not a pair you see every day...' noted Vahn, his eyes flashing at the sight of a 38-year-old Tsunade, clad in an off white, criss-crossing one-piece, walking along the beach with Kushina. At Minato's request, an additional seventy-two residents from the Shinobi World had entered the Training Room, Tsunade included. Unfortunately, after becoming aware of the truth of their world's origin, Jiraiya and Tsunade had officially become a couple, drastically decreasing his chances of experiencing the dream he had once had—Tsunade clad in scant black lingerie atop Kushina, the two world-class Kunoichi observing him desirously as their voluptuous bodies glistened from anticipation.

Though he was curious to know what the two beauties were discussing, Vahn ultimately chose to respect their privacy. He had decided to use his time in the Training Room to wean himself off constantly spying on others, so after admiring the duo's assets from multiple angles and viewpoints, he shifted his four focuses elsewhere.

BOOM

Gazing into the distance along with virtually everyone else on the beach, Vahn's various expressions flattened at the sight of a tremendous plume of water. It was twenty-six kilometers out, but its size meant there would be at least a medium-sized tsunami sweeping across the beach if nothing were done.

"Shall I handle it...?" asked Grayfia, materializing behind Vahn in her Maid-themed bikini with a silver serving tray over her lap.

"I've got this one..." affirmed Vahn, staying put as one of the versions of him sitting atop a lifeguard tower floated from it and into the air. Seconds later, he had created a concave wall of ice enclosing the entire beach. He would need to hurry and remove it to prevent the water temperature from dropping to an uncomfortable level, but that could wait until after he dealt with the culprit behind the approaching tsunami...

"Shishishishishishi! Not even the sea can stop me now...!" exclaimed Luffy, grinning mischievously from ear to ear atop a broken mast, encircled by a veritable fleet's worth of ship debris.

"Damnit, Luffy...did you forget that this was meant to be a mock battle...?" asked Zoro, looking exasperated and more than a little annoyed in yellow, seaweed-pattern swim trunks, but fully prepared to side with his Captain in the brawl that was rapidly brewing.

"C'mon, Zoro. We all knew things were headed in this direction..." argued Luffy, winding up his right arm as he eyed his imminent opponents with a confident, battle-hungry smile.

"Ha! You've done it now, Luffy! Now that I'm no longer on a ship, you're as good as toast...!" exclaimed Natsu, balancing atop a broad piece of ship's cabin as several other, predominately male members of Fairy Tail climbed to their feet around him.

"Toast, huh? I'll make your entire Guild into brochette..." grumbled Sanji, modeling a pair of turquoise swim trunks as he stood atop the only ship's mast still pointing upward.

"I'd like to see you try, young man!" exclaimed Makarov, growing into his giant form to serve as both a platform and a protector for the members of his Guild.

"Yaaaaay! I love Sanji's barbecue~!" exclaimed Luffy, bouncing high into the air and biting the thumb of his right hand. As he blew into it, his hand and forearm ballooned to become even larger than Makarov's before they traded blows, the force of their colliding fist causing the sea around them to drop several meters as water rushed away from them—propelled by a powerful shockwave...

'I should have known it was these two groups causing trouble...' mused Vahn, exhaling faintly from his nose as he briefly locked onto one of the only females present, the azure-haired Water Mage, Juvia Lockser. She was one of the few Fairy Tail women he hadn't slept with, but since she was in a relationship with Gray, he could only admire her mature figure in a frilled, pale-purple bikini from afar.

Since he felt beholden to both Fairy Tail and the Straw Hat Pirates, Vahn briefly considered his options before deciding not to intervene in the two groups' bout. They were ultimately engaging in harmless fun, so after he fished the long-nosed Usopp and unconscious Chopper out of the water, he returned to the beach and had Grayfia, Venelana, and Misla assist him with erecting a barrier to deter any errant waves or tsunamis that came its way...

"Having trouble sleeping...?" asked Vahn, relaxing with his eyes closed and Wendy lying atop him in cat-themed pajamas. When he asked what she would like for her birthday, she asked if she could sleep with him in his bed for just one night, so after making some last-minute adjustments to his harem's sleeping arrangements, he allowed her into her room and lent her his chest.

"Mmn..." responded Wendy, her face flushed to her ears as she nodded weakly. She had mostly been joking when she made her request, so now that she was alone with Vahn in his room, her heart was beating with such intensity that she had never felt more awake.

"Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves..." muttered Vahn, using his right hand to pat and caress Wendy's back, allowing him to rapidly settle the tension in her body using his S-Rank Petting. Bonney was blowing up his direct messages, but since they had napped together more than once in their workshop or atop the plateau overlooking the town, she didn't have a lot of leeway to complain about him humoring Wendy's ill-conceived but ultimately innocuous request.

Aided by Vahn's comforting caress, Wendy gradually slipped into a deep, contented slumber. Then, as he had canceled his other arrangements for the night to ensure there wouldn't be any mishaps, he pulled up his chat interface and began gabbing with his fellow night owls and making plans for the following day. His morning routine now included babysitting from 8 AM to 2 PM, but his mid-to-late afternoons were generally open to go out drinking with his growing circle of male friends.

Though he still struggled to consider Azazel a true friend, Vahn couldn't deny that the former Governor General was an exceptional mediator and drinking buddy. The man was a natural socialite, so much so that he had even managed to convince Byakuya to accompany them to a high-class, Japanese-themed nightclub.

Noticing he had a message from Byakuya, Vahn opened it out of curiosity to find a more complex version of a haiku known as a tanka. Byakuya was still unaccustomed to the informalities of the chat interface, so whenever the man sent a message, it was structured as a classical haiku, senryu, or tanka.

After reading the overly complicated poem thrice over, Vahn concluded that Byakuya was thanking him for providing an opportunity for him and Rukia to spend more time together. At the same time, the man was once again subtly threatening that if he harmed or maligned Rukia's honor, he would pay a steep price.

Suppressing a sudden desire to visit Rukia's room and crawl into her bed, Vahn turned his attention to his other chat windows. As usual, Azazel was inviting him to another social gathering, this time a mixer scheduled to be attended by Devils, Angels, Fallen, and Youkai. To Vahn's surprise, Gabriel had evidently agreed to attend, prompting an image of an almost ethereal beauty with luminous blonde hair, blue-gold eyes, and a body that evoked sinful thoughts to materialize in his mind.

Placing his response to Azazel on the back burner, Vahn moved his chat windows to the side and opened his Harem Management. He had formed the habit of checking it before making any major commitments, and that ended up being the correct decision as he saw Princess Hisui had a faint purple border around her portrait. She had recently invited him for tea on a day he had already made plans, so while she wasn't outright angry with him, she was upset that he hadn't followed up by scheduling a tea time of his own.

As Azazel's mixer wasn't set to begin until 8 PM, and he could always pilot multiple bodies, Vahn spent some time making small talk with Hisui before dutifully inviting her for tea at 3 PM the following day. She responded that she would need to check her schedule, but he knew from experience that that was as good as a confirmation.

'Nice, I guess that—'

Ding!

Before Vahn could complete his thought, he received a priority message from Kushina, prompting him to open it without delay. When he did, what awaited him was an exceedingly risque photo of her in a crimson bodice, matching panties, and a garter belt, alongside the message [Wishing you were here...].

'That woman is inexhaustible...' thought Vahn, unable to prevent a smile from forming across his face. Kushina was a lively and doting mother to Naruto during the day, but as soon as the children were entrusted to the wet nurses, she demanded almost constant attention and doting herself. Fortunately for her, that just made Vahn want to love and fuck her more...

Though he could recall anything he had seen with flawless accuracy and details he might not have even noticed the first time around, Vahn stored Kushina's selfie in a gallery he had created within his mind, filled with the salacious selfies of his various lovers. The centerpiece of the gallery was a photo of Rias and Medaka lying on the edge of a bed, posing with their breasts sandwiched together, but Vahn willfully avoided appreciating it as it would undoubtedly get a reaction from his not-so-little brother.

'I wonder if it would be crossing a line if I got her to use Shadow Clones and the Transformation Jutsu to simulate the dream I had...' mused Vahn, admiring Kushina's selfie like a piece of fine art. Of course, no image could compare to the person it captured, so after several seconds, Vahn left his mindscape and spent an hour video chatting with Kushina, promising that he would make up for causing her to feel lonely the following evening with a brief stint in Medaka's Room of Sex and Time...
