"The delivery won't arrive until evening," Marin said, putting her hands on her hips, and suggested, "It's so boring staying at home. Why don't we all go to the sea for a swim?"
Sayu's eyes lit up, and she was the first to raise her hand in agreement, "I want to go."
Juju's small face showed a hint of hesitation:
"But the weather is super hot today; I don't want to go out."
"It's precisely because the weather is hot that we should go to the sea to play. We wouldn't go when it's so cold in winter," Kitagawa Marin's voice was clear, "Once we get to the sea, a swim will cool us right down… Shoko, what do you say?"
Komi said softly:
"I-I'm fine with anything."
Amamiya Natsuki said from the side:
"I'm fine with anything."
The the timid girl stammered softly, "But my swimsuit is at home…"
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"But my swimsuit is at home."
"Ugh—!"
The the timid girl pouted slightly and turned to glare at him.
Amamiya Natsuki silently covered his mouth, indicating he understood.
"There's a convenience store downstairs, we can just buy them directly there," Kitagawa Marin said, putting her right hand on her hip, "No need to run all the way home."
Komi nodded gently, agreeing.
It proved that having money really could solve ninety-nine percent of the world's troubles.
Kitagawa Marin clenched her left fist and swung it forward: "Then let's go!"
"…"
They left immediately.
The group changed their shoes and quickly left the apartment.
It was just nine o'clock in the morning, and the scorching sun poured down. In the shade of the trees next to the apartment, the cicadas chirped especially loudly.
Amamiya Natsuki and the others first went to a convenience store, buying swimsuits, swimming goggles, sunscreen, and so on. Only the girls' swimsuits needed to be tried on, which caused some delay.
Once prepared, they took the train directly to the sea.
"Sea, here I come!"
Stepping off the train, the boundless blue sea immediately came into view. Kitagawa Marin spread her arms, facing the sea.
"The sea breeze feels so nice on my skin," Sayu held her skirt with one hand and tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear with the other.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Juju and asked:
"They're selling swimming rings over there, do you want me to buy you one?"
"Stupid Natsuki," Juju crossed her arms and glared at him irritably, "That's something only elementary school student use, isn't it?"
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:
"Your swimming skills are average, so buying a swimming ring would be safer."
"Hmph," Juju snorted lightly, "No need. I'm not swimming into the deep parts anyway."
"What a coincidence," Amamiya Natsuki said faintly, "People who drown all think that way."
Juju: "…"
After renting a parasol and a few beach mats, Amamiya Natsuki carried the items and followed behind the girls, heading towards an unoccupied corner.
Upon reaching the corner, Amamiya Natsuki first stuck the parasol into the sand to secure it, then spread out the beach mats, considering their preparations complete.
"Let's go change behind that rock over there," Kitagawa Marin pointed to a nearby rock, "Natsuki, you stand outside and keep watch for us."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded:
"Leave it to me."
The girls all went behind the rock, and soon after, the rustling sounds of clothes being taken off began.
Amamiya Natsuki stood on the other side of the rock, drinking a cold drink and enjoying the sea breeze.
"Oh, come on, hurry up and take off your clothes," Kitagawa Marin's clear voice came from behind the rock, "It's not like we haven't bathed together in hot springs before."
Sayu said softly:
"Changing into swimsuits directly on the beach feels a bit strange…"
"Don't worry, there's no one nearby," Kitagawa Marin's voice rang out, "Besides, there are many nudist beaches abroad where people sunbathe without clothes on."
Sayu: "I absolutely don't want to go to that kind of beach!"
Juju's voice rang out: "Marin… have your oppai gotten bigger?"
Amamiya Natsuki silently screwed the cap back onto his drink bottle.
That's right.
They had indeed gotten bigger.
And it was all his doing.
"Cough…" Kitagawa Marin coughed twice, changing the subject, "Shoko's are clearly bigger, and they're firm and perky, super cute… The feel must be super nice, let me pinch them."
"N-no pinching… Ah—!"
Komi quickly pleaded in a fluster.
The girls played and teased each other behind the rock for quite a while before finally coming out in their swimsuits.
"Natsuki, we're out!"
Kitagawa Marin was the first to emerge from behind the rock, hands on her hips, openly displaying her swimsuit, and raising her chin expectantly:
"Natsuki, how does this swimsuit look?"
The two had already seen each other naked and had intimate interactions, so of course, they wouldn't be shy.
Amamiya Natsuki raised his phone, snapped a few photos, then gave a thumbs-up and said:
"Super cute."
A blue seashell swimsuit, fair and delicate skin, exquisite and lovely collarbones, a slender waist that could be encompassed with one hand, rounded legs, plus a sweet and adorable face—no one could in good conscience say it wasn't cute.
"Eh heh."
Kitagawa Marin smiled smugly, then spread her arms and bolted towards the sea.
Behind Marin, the second girl to emerge was Sayu.
"Natsuki-sama, how does my swimsuit look?"
Sayu clasped her hands behind her back, her eyes bright, looking over expectantly.
Click, click.
Amamiya Natsuki raised his phone again and took two photos: "Quite cute."
"Ugh—!"
Sayu pouted slightly: "Master is too biased."
When praising Marin, it's "super cute," but for me, it's just "quite cute." So biased, too biased!
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"Do you want me to help you apply sunscreen later?"
"Of course!" Sayu immediately turned her frown into a smile, a bright grin blooming on her pretty face, "Everywhere, from head to toe!"
Amamiya Natsuki waved his hand:
"Marin forgot to put on sunscreen. She ran too fast just now. Go call her over."
"Leave it to me," Sayu saluted and went to carry out the order.
The last two girls to come out were naturally Juju and Shoko.
Komi had a classic 'looks thin in clothes, but has curves when undressed' figure. She usually liked to wear loose-fitting clothes, so it wasn't obvious, but now that she had changed into a swimsuit, one could truly understand what 'concealing treasures in the chest' meant. Her skin was also snow-white, dazzlingly bright in the sun.
If Kaguya were used as a unit of measurement, one Komi would be at least five Kaguyas in size.
Noticing Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, Komi covered her chest with one hand and her lower abdomen with the other, her face flushed, lowering her head, not daring to look at him.
After looking at Komi, Amamiya Natsuki looked at Juju, then silently sighed.
Despite being the oldest girl, neither her height nor her bust size were in the same league. If she were to change her two-piece swimsuit to an elementary school student's blue school swimsuit, she would look 100% like an elementary school student.
"Darn it!" Juju clenched her small fists and glared at Amamiya Natsuki indignantly, "You sighed just now, didn't you?"
Amamiya Natsuki denied it: "I did not."
"I clearly saw you!"
Juju swung her small fists, about to go forward and hit him.
It was bad enough that his gaze was always on Shoko, but after looking at her, he actually sighed. He was clearly disgusted by her small oppai, wasn't he?
If you're disgusted by small ones, then don't be so handsy!
Just be destroyed!
This hateful world, which only cares about oppai, should really be destroyed!
Slap.
Amamiya Natsuki caught Juju's small fist, then reached out, grasped Juju's astonishingly slender waist, and tossed her up directly onto his shoulder.
"W-what are you doing?!"
By the time Juju reacted, she found herself already sitting on Amamiya Natsuki's shoulder, clearly in a standard piggyback ride position.
"I did indeed sigh just now," Amamiya Natsuki said sincerely, "To express my apology, I've decided to let Juju have a piggyback ride."
"Y-you hateful man!" Juju's small face quickly flushed red. The heat from Amamiya Natsuki's body radiated through the skin on her inner thighs, making her heart pound, "Hurry up and put me down!"
"No. An apology must have a beginning and an end; it can't be half-hearted."
"If you want to apologize, then prostrate yourself!"
"…"
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head to look at Komi, who was staring blankly, and asked:
"Has Shoko ever had a piggyback ride?"
Komi instinctively shook her head.
Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but smile:
"Don't worry, it'll be Shoko's turn soon."
Komi's pretty face instantly flushed, and she quickly shook her head:
"I-I don't want to…"
"It's settled then," Amamiya Natsuki made the final decision, turned around and walked away, "Juju and I will go ahead."
The wind whistled in his ears.
Riding on Amamiya Natsuki's shoulders towards the sea, Juju was a bit nervous at first, but she quickly relaxed. Firstly, she trusted Amamiya Natsuki completely, certain he wouldn't drop her. Secondly…
This was her first time riding on a boy's shoulders. Her vision suddenly rose a lot, and everything looked exceptionally new. She had to admit, it was quite stimulating, though her hair tickled her a bit.
"How does it feel?" Amamiya Natsuki asked, "Is it comfortable?"
"Hmph." Juju grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's hair with both hands and gave a proud little snort, "Barely acceptable."
"Thank you for the praise, Juju-sama."
"I didn't praise you at all!"
"..."
"Ahhh, I want a piggyback ride too!"
The Succubus Girl's voice came through the sea breeze.
Marin, who had just been called out of the sea by Sayu, saw Amamiya Natsuki and Juju on the beach, and her eyes immediately lit up. She sprinted over.
Seeing Marin approaching, Juju's little face flushed, and she quickly said:
"Put me down."
"No." Amamiya Natsuki said without changing his expression, "Unless you call me something."
Juju asked in confusion: "Call you what?"
Amamiya Natsuki whispered:
"Master, Onii-chan, Boyfriend, Darling, or Daddy. You choose one."
Juju was instantly both shy and annoyed. She reached out and tugged Amamiya Natsuki's ear:
"You actually want me to call you Daddy?!"
Hey, hey, did you not hear any of those other titles, only the one about calling him Daddy?!
Seeing Marin and Sayu getting closer, Juju had no choice but to compromise, her little face flushing.
"Master" is too embarrassing, absolutely not calling that.
Call him Onii-chan?
She was clearly a year older, how could she call him Onii-chan.
As for Boyfriend... she wouldn't let Stupid Natsuki get his way so easily!
And Darling... embarrassing! Too embarrassing!
And calling him Daddy, absolutely impossible!
After thinking it through, Juju realized she didn't want to call him any of those titles.
"Decide what to call me quickly." Amamiya Natsuki urged, "Otherwise, it'll be too late."
Juju only felt a bit dizzy. She wanted to say "don't rush me," but who knew that when the words reached her lips, they actually turned into a soft call:
"Daddy..."
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki was startled, looking surprised at Juju sitting on his shoulders.
I didn't realize your acceptance level was quite high.
"Ahhh!" Discovering that she had blurted out "Daddy," Juju was instantly both shy and angry. She quickly covered her mouth, then clenched her small fists and began hitting Amamiya Natsuki's head, "I'm going to give you physical amnesia!"
Amamiya Natsuki dodged by tilting his head and quickly put Juju down.
Juju still wanted to hit him, but Marin and Sayu had already arrived nearby. She could only cross her arms, huffing and turning her head away.
"Natsuki, why are you guys doing a piggyback ride?"
As she spoke, Kitagawa Marin had already jogged over, her eyes sparkling, her pretty face full of anticipation.
Amamiya Natsuki casually said:
"Juju said she hadn't tried a piggyback ride before, so I let her experience it."
(I never said that!)
Juju glared at him unhappily.
(You're the one who forcibly picked me up!)
"I haven't had a piggyback ride either." Kitagawa Marin raised her right hand and said expectantly, "I really want to try it."
"Me too." Sayu raised her hand as well, equally full of anticipation, "I want to try it too."
Amamiya Natsuki stretched his shoulders and said:
"It's too hot, let's go for a swim first."
"You're playing favorites." Kitagawa Marin's tone was resentful, "Juju can experience it now, but we can't."
Amamiya Natsuki stroked Juju's little head and said without changing his expression:
"I can't help it, I just really like Juju."
"You, you, you, you, you..." Seeing Amamiya Natsuki say he liked her in front of everyone, Juju's little face instantly flushed, both shy and flustered, "What are you talking about?!"
Kitagawa Marin puffed out her pink cheeks and said:
"Then I want to experience it many times. Natsuki's Possession Skill hasn't been tried yet, it would be perfect for more piggyback rides."
Amamiya Natsuki thought for a moment, then extended his right hand and said:
"Then I'll paste the skill to you all."
[Skill: Possession Skill]
[Category: Active / Permanent Skill]
[Effect: Leaves a mark on others. When activated, you can enter a possession state. The other party will perceive your presence. During this time, you can share all of the other party's senses. In addition, you can consume the mark to control the other party's body. Please note that the duration of possession will rapidly deplete in control mode.]
[Note: No evidence, no proxy play.]
This was a skill obtained after recently defeating the Door of Despair, and it hadn't been tried yet.
Seeing that the girls were all interested, Amamiya Natsuki simply pasted one to each of them, and then tried to experience it himself.
"First, leave the skill mark..."
Amamiya Natsuki used the skill on Marin.
Leaving a mark requires physical contact; it cannot be used through clothes. The mark is a coin-sized complex pattern that will appear on the forehead.
Amamiya Natsuki activated the mark.
The next moment.
His consciousness felt slightly dizzy for one second, then he entered Kitagawa Marin's body.
"Sight, hearing, smell... the feeling of sunlight on the body, everything is very clear. It is indeed sensory sharing, but I cannot command Marin's body."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at himself through Marin's vision, finding that he was standing beside her with his eyes closed. Then, with a thought, he returned to his own body.
"Did you feel my presence just now?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked Marin.
"No." Kitagawa Marin shook her head, "I just saw Natsuki suddenly close his eyes, and then open them a moment later."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "I see."
Kitagawa Marin looked over curiously: "Did Natsuki use the Possession Skill just now?"
"That's right." Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "In passive state, it can possess for up to twenty-four hours, and it seems the possessed person won't even notice."
"That's great." Kitagawa Marin's eyes brightened, "During exams, I can totally use it to look at other people's test papers."
Juju crossed her arms, furrowing her small brows, and said:
"Possessing someone without being discovered, wouldn't that mean people could be spied on?"
"Probably not." Sayu said softly, "I just saw the mark on Marin-chan's head glow, which should be due to Amamiya Natsuki's possession."
Kitagawa Marin asked curiously:
"Natsuki, what about the active effect of the skill?"
"I haven't tested it yet, I'll try it."
After Amamiya Natsuki finished speaking, he closed his eyes and reactivated the possession mark on Marin.
The next moment.
"Eh, eh, eh? Natsuki entered my body?"
Kitagawa Marin's voice echoed in Amamiya Natsuki's mind.
Both of them could clearly feel each other's consciousness.
"It feels very strange." Amamiya Natsuki moved his body, "However, when actively controlling someone else's body, the skill duration is greatly reduced, lasting only a maximum of ten minutes, and it also depends on whether the other person's will resists."
"If the other person resists with all their might, I will quickly be kicked out of the possession state."
"As for the physical state..."
Amamiya Natsuki tried to punch and kick, and his speed was noticeably much slower.
Clearly, after possession, one can only exert the strength of the possessed person; it's impossible to exceed their limits.
After obtaining the relevant information, Amamiya Natsuki quickly exited the possession state and helped paste the Possession Skill, letting the girls experience it themselves.
After trying out the effects of the possession ability, the girls quickly lost interest.
Amamiya Natsuki spoke:
"It's about time to apply sunscreen."
"Me first." Kitagawa Marin took the lead and stepped forward. No one competed with Marin. "Natsuki, apply the sunscreen in the evening. Once it's done, I'm going swimming."
"Mm." Amamiya Natsuki squeezed the sunscreen into his hand and rubbed it evenly in his palm, "You lie down first."
Kitagawa Marin lay face down under the sun umbrella, untied her swimsuit straps, and pressed her outline into the beach towel: "Ugh, the sand is so hot... Natsuki, hurry up."
Amamiya Natsuki agreed and helped Marin apply sunscreen to her back.
Since the girls were all there, he naturally couldn't do anything to tease them.
After applying sunscreen, Marin happily ran towards the sea.
"Amamiya Natsuki, it's my turn."
Sayu's eyes were full of anticipation as she lay down.
After helping Marin with sunscreen, Amamiya Natsuki looked at Juju and Shoko and said:
"Which of you is next?"
Komi's pretty face was crimson. She covered her chest and shook her head repeatedly, stepping back half a pace, indicating for Juju to apply sunscreen first.
"Shoko, you go first." Juju put her hands on her hips and whispered, "If you're last, Stupid Natsuki might take advantage of you."
"As expected of good best friends." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Shoko, "Choosing to sacrifice yourself by going last, just to protect her safety."
"Pfft~"
Juju lightly spat.
At this moment, Komi hesitantly raised her hand and whispered:
"Um... Juju and I can just help each other apply sunscreen, right?"
Juju: "..."
