“Yes, like this. Relax your muscles and you’ll float naturally.”
“Do not be afraid to open your eyes in the water.”
“You’re doing great. Now, swing your legs up and down.”
“I’m here. Come and catch me.”
Under the bright sun, Caim was being taught how to swim by Tea, Millicia, Lenka, and Rozbeth. Lykos wasn’t involved, however. At first, they had feared that she might have drowned, but occasionally she would come to the surface with a fish in her mouth, so they all figured it was fine to leave her alone. As for Lance, he had been resting on the beach at first, but then he had vanished somewhere with a fishing rod and a bucket, likely heading for the rocky area to do some angling.
“You know, it really feels like you’re treating me like a child...” Caim said, slightly annoyed. He was glad the girls were instructing him so carefully, but he couldn’t help feeling like he was being mocked. “You’re not making fun of me because I can’t swim, are you?”
“No, of course not.”
“My heart is definitely not fluttering at seeing you act so cutely, even though you are usually so reliable.”
“Exactly. I’m absolutely not thinking that because I always lose to you, it’s great to have the upper hand once in a while. Not at all.”
“You’re welcome to show more of your pathetic side... Oops, slip of the tongue. Ignore that.”
The beautiful maidens—Tea, Millicia, Lenka, and Rozbeth—in swimsuits replied, all smiles. Caim was sure they were enjoying themselves at his expense for not being able to swim—they were clearly looking at him like a child.
“Damn it... I’ll remember this...” Caim groaned, humiliated, then stared at the girls.
“Let’s do it again. Do your best, Master Caim!” Tea was wearing a red bikini, and her melon-like breasts bounced up and down every time she moved.
“I will support you if you start to sink, so be at ease.” Millicia was wearing a white bikini with a pareu around her waist. While the color conveyed a sense of purity, it was also somewhat sensual, making her look like a newborn goddess.
“Come on, flap your limbs harder!” Lenka was wearing a black bikini. It had a sexy design, with the straps crossed over her chest. Her slightly tanned skin and well-toned muscles were exposed to the world, showcasing her athletic charm.
“Keep at it.” Rozbeth was the only one not wearing a bikini, instead sporting a monokini with deep slits up the sides. Her chest was smaller than the other three, but she was slender and had a great figure. Her long limbs moved both powerfully and beautifully under the sun, cutting through the water.
“Hmm...” The gorgeous girls, all with different body types and swimsuits, truly were a sight for sore eyes and worth more than a mountain of gold. It’s humiliating to be treated like a child, but... Well, I guess it’s worth it. As shameful as it was to admit it, Caim thought it was fine to suffer a little bit of disgrace if it meant being surrounded by such beauties in swimsuits. Once again, he realized how lucky he really was.
“Just you wait—I’m gonna master swimming in an instant!” Fueled by his frustration, Caim practiced as hard as he could, and just as he had declared, it didn’t take him long to figure out how to swim. He had exceptional physical abilities and good instincts, so once he had grasped the basics, it was just a matter of practicing them. Before long, the girls had nothing more to teach him.
“You’re no fun... It’s boring if you get good so fast.” Rozbeth pouted.
“Hah! Serves you right,” Caim replied proudly.
“Then I suppose we need to test you.”
“Indeed.”
Lenka and Millicia grinned impishly.
“What do you mean?” Caim asked with a frown.
The four girls spread their arms as though showing off their glamorous bodies, and then Tea announced, on behalf of everyone, “Let’s play tag! Try to catch us, Master Caim.”
Then the four of them swam in different directions.
“So you wanna test how good I’m at swimming, huh? Fine, bring it on! I’m gonna catch you all immediately!” Caim vigorously dove into the sea. Underwater, he looked around, searching for the nearest target.
First is...Millicia.
Millicia was the slowest swimmer, so Caim quickly caught up to her, capturing her slender body.
“Aaah!”
“First one.”
“Aaah... Please, do not be so rough...” Millicia moaned sweetly as Caim firmly groped her breasts. Despite her protest, she didn’t resist—in fact, she even wrapped her arms around Caim’s neck and rubbed herself against him.
“Jeez, was that your objective from the start? Are you just in heat all day long?”
In short, it was that kind of game. Caim was exasperated at how horny his lovers were, but considering today was supposed to be their day off, he decided to cut loose and do as they wished.
Caim wrapped one arm around Millicia’s waist and groped her chest with the other. As he played with the mound of flesh that fit perfectly into his palm, he licked her neck, eliciting a moan.
“You’re all salty,” Caim commented. Of course Millicia’s skin would be salty—they were in the sea. But strangely, he didn’t find it unpleasant, and he alternated between kissing her nape and playfully biting her ear.
“Aaah... Please... I want more...” Millicia begged, twisting her body to face Caim. She stared at him with glistening eyes and extended her tongue.
Caim answered her plea and kissed her deeply, intertwining their tongues. As they exchanged saliva, which had become quite salty because of the seawater, Caim stripped off Millicia’s pareu, slid aside the bottom of her bikini, then touched the slick place between her legs, making her moan loudly. He could feel how wet she was even through the seawater, proving how much pleasure she felt, and her private parts twitched in anticipation.
“Caim... I cannot endure it any longer... Please, I want you!”
“Don’t beg like that. We’re still in broad daylight,” Caim reprimanded her, digging his finger in her damp cleft.
Millicia twitched in pleasure and moaned every time Caim moved his finger. Her blue eyes fixed on him lustfully, asking him for more. Thankfully, no one was around, so Caim thought it wouldn’t be so bad to do it under the blue sky with the bright sun shining above them.
“I’m gonna put it in, so don’t tell me you don’t want to do it anymore.”
“I would never— Aaaaaah!”
Caim unsheathed his “sword” and stabbed Millicia with it. Her back arched as the huge “sword” that felt like it existed to make women scream in pleasure buried into her to the hilt. It didn’t take long for Millicia to climax, her sweet and loud moans resonating in the blue sky, startling the seabirds.
After enjoying his time with Millicia, Caim brought her to the beach. Climaxing had exhausted her, so he placed her under a parasol to sleep before heading out to search for his next prey.
“I’m here, Master Caim!” Tea shouted, waving her arms at Caim from the shallows. The concept of the game was for Caim to swim and catch the girls, but apparently that had already gone down the drain. “Please come and catch Tea!”
“Don’t tell me you’re just gonna let me catch you?”
“Don’t worry! I’ll dodge, so try your best.”
Caim snorted and tried to grab Tea’s arm, but she nimbly evaded.
“Oh?”
“I won’t let you catch me that easily.” Tea chuckled, kicking the water as she dodged Caim’s hand. As a tiger beastfolk, Tea’s reflexes were exceptional and on par with Caim’s. Her white hair fluttered, and she moved so swiftly her red bikini left afterimages behind. “Is there a problem? Tea is right here!”
“You little... Then what about this?!” Caim got slightly annoyed at Tea’s provocation and used Mana Compression to create tendrils of condensed mana that untied the knot of her bikini top. Tea yelped as it came undone, her breasts jiggling free, and she quickly covered herself with her arms. “You’re wide open!” And of course, Caim wasn’t going to miss the opportunity—he easily grabbed Tea’s arm and caught her.
