Myu sat on her papa's lap, eagerly looking out the window. According to what her Papa said to her, they should reach Erisen in a day or two. She couldn't wait for her mama to meet her papa.
Myu looked upwards at her papa, as her papa smilingly patted her and asked.
"What is it, Myu? You want to say something?"
Hearing this, Myu responded eagerly, "I can't wait for you and Mama to meet. We can be a family!" She smiled happily; her overflowing happiness was evident.
For Myu, who sees Rihito as her father, it is natural for her mother and father to be together. In her mind, Myu imagined living together with her Mama and Papa as a family.
"Ah, yeah, you are right."
Myu saw her papa's face slightly scrunched. Seeing his face contort like that, she thought her papa might have a stomachache.
Myu remembers that whenever she had a stomach ache, her mama gave her medicine, which instantly relieved her.
"Papa? Do you have a stomachache?" she asked in a worry.
"N-no, I am alright."
Myu tilted her head and thought about telling Mama. She would give Papa some stomach-ache medicine, which would surely relieve him. Thinking about that, Myu excitedly anticipated the moment of meeting between her Mama and Papa.
…
Rihito watched Myu's excited face as she thought of something, and he felt that, for some reason, she was thinking something strange.
"..."
"Papa, look, it's the sea," Myu said excitedly, pointing outside Brise's window.
I looked outside, and just as she said, the sea was now visible. Although we were still about a few Kilometers away, the blue sea was still visible.
"It's so pretty," Kaori praised seeing the glittering sea. The other girls seated beside her nodded along thinking the same.
Hajime, seeing that the sea was close, increased the Brise's speed further, trying to reach the sea as soon as possible. He had had enough of this desert after so many days; he just wanted to get out of this place.
After about thirty minutes, we finally reached the coastline. After travelling for so long, we were tired, so we decided to camp there and continue the journey by the sea tomorrow.
"Papa, papa, it's the sea. I want to swim, can I go, please…"
Myu gave me her puppy dog eyes, which were super effective. How could I say no to her? Even without that look, I wouldn't have denied her anyway.
"Sure, but before that, you need to change your clothes."
"Yeah~"
After changing into a white swimming trunk with a red stripe on both sides, Rihito watched Myu, who was wearing a two-piece kid's swimsuit, run towards the sea, happily splashing and hopping into the water.
Seeing her joyfully play like any other normal child her age made me smile. After everything she has endured, she truly deserves this happiness. Despite having gone through something terrible, she emerged stronger than ever.
Now that I had started training her. I was committed to making sure nothing like that would ever happen again.
In the middle of his pondering, he heard a familiar voice.
"Rihito~"
Hearing a slightly husky voice from behind him, he turned his head and saw Shea standing in her swimming suit, a blue bikini, which in modesty wasn't much different from what she usually wears.
"How does it look?" Shea posed, pushing her chest upwards, emphasising her chest. Shea, after spending their first night, had found many of Rihito's likes and dislikes, one of them was her chest. The way he kept sucking and fondling them, she would be stupid if she didn't catch that, and right now she was taking advantage of that, and the way, Rihito was heatedly looking at her, she guessed it worked.
Just like Rihito was looking at her, Shea was also giving Rihito a heated gaze. Rihito was wearing white swimming trunks with a red stripe on both sides, and he wasn't wearing anything on his upper body. He showcased his lean and toned physique, which was built for battle.
Rihito started to walk closer to Shea, not saying anything and whispered, "You look ravishing. You know? It's getting hard for me to hold back, so…Don't push me too hard, ok?"
I stepped back and walked away, leaving a blushing Shea.
"Myu, wait for me." Shea, hiding her blush, ran behind Myu.
"Big sister Shea."
Myu noticed Shea approaching and playfully splashed some seawater. Soon, they began to play together, and Yue and Kaori soon joined them as well.
Rihito, seeing that in a few hours it will be dinner time, decides to catch some fish for dinner and explore the sea a bit.
"Oi, Hajime, want me to catch some fish?" I suggested.
"Hmm… Sure," Hajime said setting up the campfire. Then thinking about something Hajime spoke, "If you run into some monster, catch it. I am sure it would get us some helpful skills for the next Labyrinth."
"Sure. See you later then."
With that, Rihito silently leapt into the sky, stopping after roughly 30 meters in the sky looking at the west, in the direction of Erisen. With his enhanced senses, he could barely discern the top of the large rock that was located where Erisen should be.
"Hmm, it should take about half a day to reach there," muttering to himself his attention went back to the sea.
"Let's go that way," Rihito said, sensing a large number of fish to the southwest of the coast. He accelerated his speed and dove straight into the sea.
…
Back at the beach, Hajime saw Rihito leave and went back to set up the campfire. He used a transmute to adjust the grill. "All done," he dusted off his hands.
"Let's hope Rihito catches something good."
Hajime finished preparing the campfire, and the grill stood up.
Just then, he heard a voice calling out.
"Hajime, did Rihito go somewhere?" he heard Shizuku ask.
Hajime looked around and saw Tio, Shizuku, and Tohru, all three girls standing in their swimsuits. After changing, they had come out to look for Rihito.
By the way, their swimsuits emphasised their figures, he guessed that the two wanted to show off a bit.
Hajime ignored Shizuku and Tohru while giving Tio fleeting glances before looking away, pretending to be disinterested.
"He just went out towards the sea to hunt. He should be back in an hour or two."
"Master, how do I look?" Tio stepped forward and posed, showing off her swimsuit and trying to entice Hajime. Tio hadn't missed the moment when Hajime glanced her way; it was only for a moment, but she was sure Hajime looked at her.
Tohru and Shizuku looked at each other and silently decided to leave them alone, joining the others playing in the sea.
Hajime noticed Tohru and Shizuku leave but didn't say anything; he just stared silently, making Tio squirm and pant.
"Haa, haa, master your piercings stare makes me feel…"
Thack!!
"Aaaah! Haa, haa..."
Hajime, seeing her behaviour, reflexively smacked Tio on the head, causing her to face-plant on the ground. He did this without even realizing it.
"Sigh," Hajime sighed, irritated.
"You know, you don't always have to play the fool," Hajime folded her arms and noticed she stopped squirming.
Hajime turned around, walking towards the boy's tent. "And you look great in that." Hajime left, leaving those words.
"..."
When Hajime spoke those words, Tio's face flushed slightly, filling her with excitement. Hajime answered her properly; unlike before, when he had completely dismissed everything she did, this time, he did not ignore her. At that moment, Tio was grateful to be on the ground, as it likely prevented others from noticing her red face.
From a distance, other girls silently observed the entire interaction. With their heightened senses, girls like Shea, Tohru, and Yue heard everything, and those who did not hear were informed of the details by others.
Yue smiled, "It seems Tio had a chance, unlike someone I know."
"What did you say?" Kaori said, smiling menacingly.
"You heard me," Yue glared back.
"They are at it again," Shizuku sighed, seeing them bicker like kids.
"It's fine, this is their way of liking each other," Shea said smilingly.
Yue and Kaori glared at Shea for a moment before looking back at each other.
"Sigh"
"Let's go to the other side, it will take them a while."
"Let's do a swimming competition," Myu excitedly suggested.
"Oh, let's do it," Tohru agreed.
