Chapter 405: Going for a dip
Chapter 405: Going for a dip
I exchanged information with Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san, then we went to dinner together that night.The next day, it did not matter to me what the Samandour nobles will do nor the decline of the country. So anyway, we went to this hotel’s private beach.
As could be seen from the Succubus Queen Fraal’s attire, swimsuit-like clothing exist in this world. That’s why it’s fine if we make swimwear, and so Kaede, Akane, and Maria were enthusiastic making swimwear for us.
Sophia had a blue sexy bikini. The triangular bikini on her full body was poisonous to the eyes.
Maria was wearing a red bikini, but it really suits a lively girl like her.
Marnie was wearing a black bikini, but with her chest which seemed like they would overflow at any moment, she looked like a very sexy woman.
Laeva wore a yellow dress. It suited her slender figure.
Akane seemed to have worn a white bikini. It might be rude to say it but she surprisingly had good style. As a 40-ish year old man’s feelings, I think the style of Japanese women recently had improved a lot.
Lulu-chan was wearing a navy blue school swimsuit for some reason. Even having her name stitched on the chest area was probably Akane’s doing.
Kaede’s lower half was that of a spider, so she was only wearing a tube top to cover her upper half.
Akane, Lulu-chan, and Laeva played by the water’s edge.
And for some reason, sitting on the beach chair drinking a tropical beverage was Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san. Moreover, they were wearing swimsuits made by Kaede and the girls. Queen Fraal was wearing something similar to her usual attire, rather, it felt like she was covering more than usual.
「The swimwear Kaede-dono, Maria-dono and Akane-dono made are quite nice.」
「Indeed. The swimwear sold by the hotel and this city are unwearable because they were too unfashionable.」
The swimsuits that were common in this world were short sleeve, knee length-type swimsuits, like those in Japan long ago. As could be expected, Akane did not want to wear those, so she stuck her ground so she could wear cute swimsuits.
Ryuka-san wore a high-leg one piece-type swimsuit. Though not to the extent of the Succubus Queen Fraal, Ryuka-san of the Oni Tribe usually wore clothes that were largely revealing.
「It’s good that the swimsuits made it in time.」
「Akane-dono apparently had plenty of swimsuit designs.」
However, the escorts standing beside Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san who were relaxing at the beach chairs were really uneasy. In that situation, the only one carefree was, of course, the Queen.
We also laid back on the the beach chairs and relaxed. When I rubbed the sunscreen Laeva created onto Sophia, Maria, and Marnie’s backs in turn turn and they on mine, flirting like newly weds, Queen Fraal stared with disgusted eyes.
「Ha, haha, the last time we met was on the wedding, huh, Queen Fraal. Actually, we wanted to celebrate our marriage so we went to Gnomstoll Kingdom, but since we were already on our way back, we tried going to Samandour Kingdom.」
「My! A honeymoon sounds fascinating!」
「Haha, thank you very much.」
「Gunuuu……」
When Ryuka-san told me that the concept of a honeymoon, which was not common in this world, was interesting and I thanked her, Queen Fraal acted weirdly.
「Ryuka-san, Her Majesty Queen Fraal is acting weird……」
「Please just disregard it. Her Majesty, who has been unable to find a partner no matter how much time passed, is simply envious.」
「Don’t say late to be married!! I want to get married too!」
Even as Queen Fraal yelled, Ryuka-san ignored her, unperturbed.
「Knowing the situation of the various nations in the Demon Continent, I imagine that you, Iruma-dono, would understand, but the men of the Demon Continent were all strength-is-everything muscle brains.」 There were the rare intellectuals such as King Gandalf, but generally they were like the Beast Kings.」
「Umm, so Queen Fraal doesn’t like meatheads?」
「That’s right! I hate guys whose brains are also muscles! They’re all idiots who see things in black and white on whether to fight or not!」
Well, that is true. Even the one called a Wise King was also a battle enthusiast.
「The Succubi have a long lifespan, but even Her Majesty seems to be growing more impatient.」
「I’m not impatient! I’m still young!」
According to Ryuka-san, there have been a continuous flow of marriage applications from influential people from various countries, but none have won Queen Fraal’s favor.
「The Demon Continent is where the strongest person is King. Her Majesty said that she does not like men who were weaker than her though……」
「If you say it like that, then wouldn’t that mean that it could only be the Kings of the other countries in the Demon Continent?」
Queen Fraal’s fighting strength was extremely high. If there was enough distance, Queen Fraal whose forte was magic may be the strongest among the six nations in the Demon Continent.
Incidentally, the strongest person was the ruler in their own countries in the Demon Continent, but in reality, it was no different to an inheritance. In a country where the strong are revered, an excellent individual is also chosen as that strong individual’s partner. And because of the superior genes being inherited, it was no mystery how the blood relatives of the ruler ascended the throne.
After that, I listened to the sound of the waves as I continued to hear out Queen Fraal grumble about the men of the Demon Continent.
