Chapter 51.2 – Play All You Want but not All Summer

We spent that day throwing people, diving in the water, and playing to our hearts’ content.

It was so much fun.

Next time, I’ll go make a swimsuit for myself!

It’s hard to move with clothes on after all.

「Uwaaa, this is amazing.」

「 There are so many people…..」

I had gone to the trouble of pooling money with my team to make a swimsuit out of floral fabric but….

When we return a week later, the pool is very crowded.

Before I knew it, stalls were already lined up, and maidens who exposed their skin in bathing suits were all over.

Some were swimming in the pool, some were clinging to some strange floating things, some were drinking with only their feet in the water, some were splashing water with each other, everyone seemed to be having fun in their own way.

「Jirin, what is that swimsuit?」

「Cute〜」

「Right〜, we made it ourselves.」

「Really〜, where did you get the fabric? Come on, tell me!」

It is very difficult to be praised by those who work in the coffee shop, who are usually overwhelmingly fashionable, with the clothes you wear.

Our group, wearing our self-made swimsuits, received not a few stares from all over the pool.

Yeah, maybe it’s not so bad to be looked at.

I hate it when guys stare at my chest though!

In the end, we played moderately that day and went home.

The water in the pool ran low so we had to go fetch water for it.

We also cleaned the pool.

It’s not a pool for us. We are only allowed to play there because of master’s whim.

We had to make it cleaner than before we came.

After a while, everywhere we went, people were already talking about the pool.

Not only us slaves but the townspeople, who have heard of it, were even envious.

The only place around here where you can play in the water is the river. However, the river is dangerous because monsters come out of it.

Without a doubt, this is currently the most exciting place in Torquiva.

I feel a sense of superiority.

「But it’s so crowded〜」

「What are you mumbling about? Come on, let’s play on that floating thing!」

「Uwoooooo!!!」

「Stoo! Idiot! If more of you ride, it will sink!」

Everyone in our team got on the bamboo raft that master had made for us.

At first, only one or two of us climbed on top and used it to float around leisurely….

But before long, it turned into a game where several people would get on top of each other and drop each other into the water.

It’s thrilling but…

It was far from being fashionable.

「Jirin-chan, hurry up hurry up! We’re going to occupy this island!!」

「Ah! Coming!」

Eh, what’s with the raft?

The part over there is moving up the water?

By the time I focused my eye on it, the raft had already flipped over.

「Whoahhh!」

「Hieeee!!」

Water splashed along with the scream of the team.

Ahh, ahhhh, I fell on my head.

I hope I won’t drink water.

「Kiyahhahahahaha!」

「We’ll take over this island!」

Looking at the spot where the raft had been, muscular scalekins were laughing.

If they put their strength into the raft, it would tip over no matter how many people were on top of it.

「Areh? What’s happening with the island?」

The scalekins looked around since the raft suddenly started moving fast on its own. It was being carried to another place.

The raft, which had moved on its own, stopped in the middle of the pool.

Then, someone appears from the water and stands on the swaying raft.

She had long bangs that almost covered her eyes.

She has beautiful silver scales which are the same color as her hair and both are shining on her brown skin.

It’s the fishkin Gamari.

I’m sure she’s a quiet and inconspicuous girl who’s in charge of the fishery.

 「I, I got it….I took the island!」

Gamari raised her hands to the sky while having an awkward smile on her face.

However, while she was doing that, more and more girls climbed onto the raft and in no time, the top of the raft was already full of people.

Gamari was among the people who got squeezed out into the water.

That was a short conquest….

Looking around the pool full of people, it seemed that everyone was wearing their own tailored swimsuits instead of the given black ones. It was surprisingly colorful.

Yellow, red, navy blue, and patterned are fine but….white, it’s see-through!

I guess it’s okay since we’re all women.
