<Author’s Notes>
I don’t have time, so today’s chapter is short.
After having a second sleep with Anima, we had breakfast and rested a little before heading out to the beach as planned. That said, the private beach was really just a stone’s throw away from the cottage, so we each changed into our swimsuits in our rooms before heading for the beach.
Since it was abruptly decided that we were going to the beach, both the swimsuits Anima and I were wearing were the same as what we had when we went swimming at the beach.
[Thank you for waiting.][I told you the same thing when we went swimming at the beach last time, but just like before, you look cute in your swimsuit.]
[Thank you. Even though this is the second time, perhaps because I’m still not used to it, I’m very happy to hear it.]
Anima’s swimsuit was the same as her previous one, a brown and white striped top with a hot pants-like swimsuit on the bottom.
Her swimsuit is made in a way that it has a hole for her tail to come out, but looking at it again like this, Anima in her swimsuit looks quite attractive.
She has an outstanding style to begin with, with her large breasts and well-proportioned limbs, and perhaps because she usually wears long-sleeved, long-pants, military-style outfit, her femininity seems to stand out when she’s dressed in a way that exposes her skin.
[Let’s go then…… It sure is nice being able to walk mostly empty-handed at a time like this.]
[You’re right. There’s also our magic box, but to begin with, since the cottage is nearby, it’s very convenient that we can easily go back to get what we need when we actually need it.][There seems to be some play equipment for use at the beach provided…… but for now, all we need is a parasol and a sheet, and we can come back for the rest when we need them.]
[Yes! Or perhaps, it might be nice to prepare something easy to eat for lunch and enjoy it by the seaside.]
[Ahh, that’s a good idea.]
While chatting happily like this, we were heading for the private beach, but suddenly coming up with an idea, I stopped.
Seeing my sudden stop, Anima tilted her head curiously and called out..
[Master? Is something the matter?]
[Ahh, no, since we’re at it, even though it wasn’t that far of a distance, how about holding hands on the way?]
[Ah…… Yes!]
Anima and I are lovers that had gone on several dates like that fishing trip we had before, but I don’t think we’ve held hands that much.
We had decided we were going to do a lot of lover-like things this time, so I suggested holding hands while we were at it. Thereupon, she brightened up to a smile and she clasped my held-out hand.
Since Anima usually wears gloves, it feels a little refreshing holding her bare hands like this. Of course, we’re holding hands like lovers would.
[This, umm…… feels a bit embarrassing, but how should I say this…… being like this makes me feel like I’m closer to Master and it kinda makes me happy.]
With each of Anima’s adorable reactions and smiles, I kinda feel like I could see a puppy wagging its tail behind her, and as I felt rather pleasant, we headed towards the sea together.
<Afterword>
Makina : [Alright, first, we divide her into two……]
? ? ? : [This guy…… she bisected her without hesitation……]
Makina : [It’s alright, she’s gonna resurrect anyway, so let’s do it…….]
? ? ? : [I mean, looking at her cross-section, she’s completely chocolate…… so it’s not just her outer layers that are chocolate huh…… I wonder if the sweetness changes depending on the sugar content of the story?]
