The air here is so nice It’s been so long since I’ve breathed air this wonderful
Lucia seemed to be enjoying himself even if he was calmer than those two girls He climbed up onto a truck-sized rock (the biggest in the river) and took deep breaths
The behavior was not that odd for the otherworldly boy but it was true the mountain air was nice and fresh
Now then It looks like you all want to goof off but as the man of responsibility I’ll catch enough food for all of us
Sakae walked upstream with some fishing equipment
When they had been trying to decide between a mountain camping trip or a beach trip that angler had chosen the mountains because it was easier to catch fish in a river
The others smiled bitterly and Mutsuki walked over to Machina who was kneeling on the riverside
He only ever saw her in her uniform but she too was wearing a stylish outfit It was primarily a sleeveless blouse and a skirt but knee socks hid her legs and she had a tie around her neck
Had she also chosen a special outfit because she had been looking forward to the trip
I’m glad you could come too Ibekusa Is the water too cold
Machina was playing with the water
The water drops on her fingertips spread across her entire palm and the chill of the water was dulled by her body heat
She was acting like a baby feeling the waves when first seeing the ocean
It’s a lot of fun
Had she never seen a stream before Mutsuki tilted his head but he distinctly remembered seeing a beautiful rose garden in FeTUS headquarters
And as he thought
Mutsuki catch me Boom
Eh Wah wah
Lucia took a running start and jumped from the large stone
He nearly tackled Mutsuki who panicked but found the boy was as light as a feather Catching him proved easy
After he was lowered to the ground Lucia laughed in delight
This place is great Anywhere is fine when I’m with you Mutsuki but this place is the best
It is
He was apparently in a good mood
His cute face looked especially young today
Mutsuki – as well as any guy or girl – found his smile attractive
Ohh We take our eyes off you for two seconds and you start flirting
He had apparently attracted the attention of Saya who was looking at them and blushing
Unsure what she meant by flirting Mutsuki tilted his head After a moment more of giving them a sticky look the girl regained her bright expression
Well whatever C’mon in you two The cool water feels great You too Ma chi-nya n
She waved over
Lucia obediently splashed on in Mutsuki and Machina both nodded Mutsuki rolled up his long pants and Machina removed her knee socks
Oh this is just in the way Strip
Wahh O-oh
Saya shouted an overly-literal sound effect and removed her skirt
Mutsuki had been crouched down so her deliciously plump thighs had appeared right at eye level
He panicked but then he realized this was not a problem
She had been wearing a sporty two-piece swimsuit below her clothes
Didn’t this happen once before
he thought with a sigh
C’mon c’mon Let’s all get in C’mon Machi-nyan Satowa and Fujita
Since she was ready she pulled the other three into the river with her
Mutsuki blushed a little when she grabbed his hand
She did not seem completely out of his league like Ange or Machina and she lacked Lucia’s devilish charm but Saya was still one of the top ten most attractive girls in their year Of course his heart was going to be pounding when she suddenly showed him her thighs and grabbed his hand But unlike shy Mutsuki she could get along with anyone
Deryah
Hwahp
Saya kicked water right into his face
She cackled and the boy felt some of the shyness and tension leave him
Tei
oops Heh heh You can’t hit me
He splashed back even though she was a girl but she dodged it
And when it flew past her
Uuh It’s only up to my legs but I still can’t relax in the water Kyahn
It hit Ange right in the face
The terrible simmer had been nervous enough already so the water to the face only increased the fear She uttered a cute scream
And after a pause
Wah wah wah I-I’m sorry
He felt she should not get so mad when they were only playing around but the look on her face forced him to flee She apparently could not forgive herself for screaming so cutely She blushed and charged at him to punch him You stupid Mutsu-ahyan
But another splash caught her in the face
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ‘Ahyan’ Did you hear that Mutsuki ‘Ahyan’
Lucia doubled over in laughter
Get your ass over here Satowaa
Ange was so angry that Mutsuki feared she would use her angelic power but she only scooped up some water
And the boy gave a coldly confident smile as the water flew his way
Like that’ll hit me stupid Water is my field of-wahp
He easily dodged itbut Saya’s splash from the side scored a direct hit
You’re a little overconfident Satowa
Now you’ve done it
Lucia struck back Saya was unable to dodge but she laughed happily as the water dripped from her clothes
The three of them started a three-way splashing war
Phew at least I’m safe
Mutsuki watched them from a short distance away
Lucia was having fun in the water and the anger in Ange’s face was clearly softening
It was a strange sight
