Chapter 6: Finally, the Promised Swimsuit—Oh Yeah!
“It’s finally here… This is the moment I’ve been waiting for!”
Before my eyes stretched a lively scene, bustling with people.
This past week… Sure, the beginning had its ups and downs, but now, the day I’d been looking forward to had arrived—the day I’d promised to go to the leisure park with Matsuri and the others.
“…Man, a lot really happened, huh?”
The interactions with my still-unclear-if-dream-or-reality partner, deciding how to handle the hypnosis app my own way, and even opening up to Matsuri and the others while they were hypnotized… And then… Guh-heh-heh.
“Whoa… If I let my guard down, I’ll start grinning like an idiot.”
I buried my face in their chest, and now, even paizuri was on the table.
But… BUT!
After everything that’s happened, even kissing was finally allowed—so my mood had been ridiculously high all week.
Seriously, when I got home, my sister and parents kept asking if I was okay, and at school, my friends worried if something had happened… Man, who knew a simple act like kissing could make me this happy?!
“Well… It wasn’t exactly lip-to-lip, though.”
That part… still feels a little different.
But whether it was because of that kiss or because I’d made my declaration to them again, the pink threads in the relationship chart had gotten way thicker—so much that they were trying to swallow me up like black threadse.
“But still… Even that looks kinda nice, y’know?”
If I think of it as Matsuri and the others’ positive feelings toward me under hypnosis, then even those black threads—or the potential future they might’ve brought—don’t scare me as much. Sure, saying I’m not afraid at all would be a lie, but worrying about it won’t change anything.
“Alright then… Guess I’ve got a little more time to myself.”
Already changed into my swimsuit, I was on my way to the pool.
Since this facility just opened this year, it was naturally super clean and modern. There were all kinds of attractions everywhere—slides, wave pools, you name it.
People of all ages were around, and I even spotted a few familiar faces from school. Might run into someone I know.
“C’mon, hurry up!”
“Wait for me~!”
A pair of elementary school kids—a boy and a girl—raced past me.
Man, they’re energetic. I couldn’t help but worry they’d slip running like that, but they made it safely and jumped into the pool with huge grins.
“…Nice.”
By the time you’re in high school, you don’t really goof around like that anymore.
Maybe that’s why seeing little kids having so much fun makes me smile, remembering that I used to be like that too.
“Kaikun~! Sorry to keep you waiting~!”
Suddenly, a voice called from behind.
IT’S HEEEEERE! I mentally screamed, bracing myself as I turned around with exaggerated energy.
“…Ohh.”
“Sorry to make you wait~♪”
“…Actually, I was the one who kept you waiting.”
“Don’t worry, guys. My little bro isn’t the type to complain about that.”
“Well, that’s good… But still, we were a little late.”
Standing there were, of course, Matsuri, Saika, Emu and my sister.
Matsuri and Saika wore the same white and black bikinis they’d shown me before, while my sister had on a frilly, cute one-piece.
And Emu—this was my first time seeing her swimsuit—wore a frilly blue bikini, just like my sister’s… Perfection.
(This is a sight to behold…)
The three of them—Matsuri, Saika, and Emu—standing side by side in swimsuits was breathtaking.
Sure, I’d seen their skin and cleavage plenty of times during our usual interactions, and I’d even seen them in their underwear.
Some might say swimsuits and underwear are basically the same, but seeing them up close like this? There’s a special quality to swimsuits that you just don’t get otherwise.
“Hey, dumb little bro, why’re you frozen like that?”
“…N-no reason.”
Oh c’mon, of course I’d freeze up! I wanted to shout.
My sister, arms crossed right in front of me, poked my side as if to say, Hurry up and say something nice already!
“Guh… Uhh, you all look really good.”
“Boring.”
Her reply gave me déjà vu from before.
“Ahaha! Thanks, Kaikun!”
“…I’m glad you think so.”
“This isn’t so bad, huh?”
Hearing all three of them respond like that was a relief.
I shot a smug look at my sister, but instead of looking at me, she was smiling at them… Dammit, when she makes that face, I can’t even say anything back!
“…Oh yeah!”
“What’s up?”
“Sis, you’re actually pretty cute, y’know?”
“…Huh!?”

The sudden compliment turned her face bright red.
Even if she is my annoying small sister, that expression of hers was adorable—and honestly, her swimsuit was cute… Heh-heh, time to strike back for all the times she’s bullied me!
“C’mon, after everything that’s happened, seeing you now? You’re seriously cute.”
“S-stop it, out of nowhere like that!”
“Right, Matsuri? Saika? Emu?”
Ah crap… I’m totally grinning like an idiot right now.
I couldn’t hold back the smile spreading across my face. The little devil inside me was egging me on, wanting to tease her even more.
“Big sis, you’re super cute!”
“…I kinda wanna hug you.”
They probably saw right through my plan, but Matsuri and Saika still said it earnestly, making my sister blush even harder.
“What about you, Emu?”
“U-uhm, I think you’re really cute too!”
Emu was a little hesitant—probably because she’d just met her today.
Still, my sister had called Emu a “good girl” right off the bat, and Emu had warmed up to her fast… But I guess she’s still holding back in situations like this.
As for my sister’s reaction?
“Hwah!?”
She turned even redder, making the most hilarious face!
I was just about to plan my next teasing move when she suddenly grabbed Emu’s hand.
“We just met today, so I’m gonna go bond with Emu-chan! C’mon, Emu-chan, stick with me for a bit!”
“Ah, okay!”
And just like that, my sister and Emu walked off together.
“…Phew. Taking down the Demon King is exhausting.”
“Demon King… You mean your sister?”
“Yup. And you better not tell her I said that.”
“Hmm~ Should I~?”
“…Matsuri?”
This is where you’re supposed to say, “Got it!”
Standing beside me, Matsuri gave me a playful sidelong glance before suddenly blushing.
(…Guh, that look… Stop making me nervous!)
Lately, not just Matsuri—but Saika and Emu too—have been making that kind of expression more often… No, definitely more often.
Even when they look embarrassed, there’s something gentle in their eyes… And when they look at me like that, I can’t help but feel flustered too.
(That kiss… I keep remembering it.)
Monday, lunch break—I keep replaying that moment.
Matsuri and Saika are looking at me the same way now, and even Emu has given me that kind of expression before. Every time, it overlaps with how they looked right after we kissed.
“What’s wrong?”
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Ah, no… Uhh…”
With them staring so close, I reflexively looked away.
“No looking away.”
“Huh!?”
A soft hand touched my cheek, forcing my gaze back to them.
It was Matsuri, her expression practically demanding an answer to her question.
“I-I’m fine… Just thinking about something.”
“…Really?”
“Yeah…”
I nodded, and slowly, her hand pulled away.
“Do you… have a fever or something?”
Just as Matsuri stepped back, Saika reached out this time—
placing her hand on my forehead like she was checking for a temperature.
“I’m fine! See? Totally full of energy!”
To prove it, I struck a muscle pose.
That got Saika to chuckle, and even Matsuri cracked a smile, finally seeming reassured.
“Anyway, let’s go have fun already!”
“Yeah!”
“…Mm.”
No idea where Emu and my sister went, but if she’s with my sis, she’ll be fine. For now, I’m gonna enjoy this moment.
“No wonder this place has such good reviews.”
“…The pool’s huge, and that slide? Looks intense.”
The pool was packed with people swimming freely, the water slides echoed with screams, and the wave pool I’d been secretly looking forward to had some serious waves… There were just so many attractions to enjoy.
(Honestly… More than the pool—)
My gaze naturally drifted to their backs.
I wanna hypnotize them right now, drag them somewhere no one can see, and do whatever I want! Rub my face against their bikinis, grope those soft curves! And if I’m really pushing my luck—untie those thin strings and let them slip off!
(But… My partner’s stuck back in the locker room.)
So any fantasies involving my other partner are just that—fantasies… Sigh.
I let out a disappointed breath internally, but just then—
“Hup!”
A cute voice chirped, and before I knew it, I was shoved from behind—straight into the pool.
“Wha—WHO THE HEEEELL!?”
I yelled as I resurfaced, only to see Matsuri giggling. Definitely her doing.
“Matsuriiii…!”
“Ahaha! Well, I’m coming in too~!”
With that, she jumped right next to me, splashing water directly into my face.
“Bwah!?”
Overreacting? Maybe. But today’s all about having fun!
Getting pushed by Matsuri, getting drenched—none of it was annoying. If anything, it was fun… So much fun, I couldn’t help but smile for real.
“Phew! That feels so good!”
As Matsuri emerged from the water, she shook her head, flinging droplets everywhere.
In that moment, my eyes locked onto her jiggling, slime-like breasts—but even more than that, her wet hair clinging to her skin looked downright seductive.
I’d thought the same thing before when I saw her drenched in rain. Damn, this girl is seriously lewd.
