6 Main Heroines Who Absolutely Want to Monopolize Me - Volume 2 Chapter 4.3

A Straightforward Swimsuit Episode 3

And so, I ended up spending time with the remaining two.

“Onii-chan, look! There’s a rubber boat over there!”

The suddenly made same-year sister (temporary) pointed, and indeed, a three-seater rubber boat was resting on the sand as if it had washed ashore.

“Really, Rii wanna ride it with Onii-chan♡”

The other former idol sister (temporary) agreed.

…What is this feeling of guilt, or maybe it’s more like a sense of immorality? The image of Maon’s exasperated look flashes in my mind…

Even so, the fact that it’s a three-seater seems like it was anticipating this very situation. When I look over at Juujou-san, who’s a bit away, she nods just once. I see, she had it prepared in advance…

“This is perfect. I’ve been feeling frustrated.”

“Huh?” “Haa?”

Both Ria and I exclaim at the sudden revelation (?). Ria lets out a voice that’s as natural as when she was in the dressing room at Dias Three Land.

“We’ve been wearing swimsuits in Guam and today, but we’ve only been playing on the beach, right? I’ve been craving to play in the sea.”

“Oh, that kind of… No, couldn’t you have phrased that differently?”

“Huh? Why?”

“I mean, it sounds like… you know…?”

“What does it sound like?”

Yuu frowns.

“Onii-chan thought Yuu-chan was thinking about something naughty, didn’t you♡?”

“Eh, why suddenly…? That’s seriously scary…”

Yuu hugs her body as if to cover her chest. What’s with this feeling of being forced into digging my own grave by an irresistible force?

“Well, it’s fine. I know Onii-chan is a pervert. It wasn’t just the gym clothes, huh.”

Yuu sighs and points at the rubber boat.

“Anyway, I’ve never ridden a rubber boat before. I want to have my first experience soon.”

“That has to be on purpose!?”

“Yuu-chan, you’re so bold♡”

After finishing this irrelevant conversation, the three of us boarded the rubber boat.

“Here we go.”

Yuu, in her swimsuit, fits snugly between my legs.

And…

“Onii-chan, you can always rely on Rii from behind♡”

Ria’s voice comes from behind.

The overly stimulating sandwich situation makes my head spin.

If I’m not careful, Yuu’s bikini-clad back fills my entire field of view.

The swimsuit has strings on both the neck and back, but only a single knot ties the back.

I convinced myself that the main support must be the neck string and averted my gaze. Otherwise, I’d become a genuine pervert, always thinking about someone’s swimsuit.

If I reacted and got caught, it would be too embarrassing.

“Let’s go!”

Looking at the horizon and counting prime numbers, I start paddling, hoping nothing happens.

However, during this study abroad, it seems impossible for nothing to happen.

Once we got a bit off the coast, Yuu shouted, “Ahh!”

“What’s wrong, Onee-chan?”

“Who’s your Onee-chan. Not that, I just saw a shadow over there! Could it be a sea turtle!?”

“A sea turtle? Hmm.”

Ignoring Ria’s lack of interest, Yuu excitedly adds,

“I’ve wanted to see one, but when I went to Okinawa before, the optional tour cost about 20,000 yen, so I couldn’t afford it and gave up! This is lucky!”

“20,000 yen!♡ I wanna see!♡”

“Oi, you two…!”

The moment their experiences were converted into cash, Ria literally leaned forward. The two leaned out of the boat, chasing after the shadow that seemed to be a sea turtle.

Now. When two-thirds of the people in a boat lean in the same direction, what happens?

“Oi oi oi oi…!”

“Uwaaa!?”

“Kyaaan♡”

…Naturally, the boat capsizes.

“Are you okay!?”

I look at the two while treading water. We’re not wearing life jackets.

“I’m okay♡ Rii is good at swimming♡”

Ria does a complete turn in the water as if she’s doing synchronized swimming.

“I’m fine too. Not as good as Ria, but swimming isn’t a problem for me.”

Yuu seems to be treading water on the spot.

“But still, aren’t you worrying too much?”

“No, that’s because…”

While I’m hesitating on whether to evade the reason,

“……..!?!?”

I realize something unbelievable and suddenly turn around.

“What’s wrong? When talking to someone, you should look them in the eyes.”

“……Waa♡ Onee-chan, you’re naughty♡”

Ria seems to have noticed too and teases with a playful voice. Such carefree…

“Huh? What…? Kyaa!?”

Yuu seems to have realized as she hugs her body.

“……..Did you see?”

“I didn’t see.”

“Don’t say it like you tried to look!”

Yuu’s swimsuit (top) had been swept away by the waves due to the impact of the capsizing.

Hugging her body, Yuu swims away, turning her back to me.

“Oi, Yuu.”

“What!?”

Yuu looks at me with tearful eyes, which is enticing, but the situation is a bit more serious.

“What do you mean ‘what’? What are you planning to do? The beach is too far without fins and with your hands occupied.”

“That’s because…!”

Yuu tries to argue but seems to realize she doesn’t have a counterargument.

“…”

“..?”

Yuu swims towards me silently, with downcast eyes.

And…

“…Don’t you dare look this way.”

She places one hand on my shoulder.

“I-I won’t look…!”

“Muuu…”

Ria glares at me resentfully, but Yuu’s decision is actually correct.

Human eyes aren’t on the back, so sticking close to my back is the most convenient way to stay out of my sight. There might be a chance for Ria to see, but they’re both girls.

Besides, if I swim and pull, we can return to the beach without much trouble.

“So, shall we head back…? Ria, you can swim on your own, right? …Oi!?”

“Hey, Onii-chan?♡”

Ria, who had been scowling, now hides her chest and gives a mischievous smile.

Then, she swims right next to me and whispers.

“It seems like Rii’s swimsuit was taken by Mr. Sea Turtle♡”

“No way, you definitely threw it somewhere yourself! Sea turtles don’t come up to humans!”

And why is Ria always resorting to such strategies?

In the end, with Ria on my right shoulder and Yuu on my left, I slowly did the breaststroke.

Turning the capsized rubber boat back over seemed quite difficult, so I thought of bringing it back capsized, but it became too much of a burden halfway, and I ended up hooking it on some rocks on the way. I’ll have to come back for it later…

“Ria, you really are beyond common sense… Ah, you’re the first person to make me say ‘common sense’…”

Yuu mutters exhaustedly.

“Sorry… I just can’t stand it when someone stands out more than me…”

“Even if you say it meekly, what you’re saying is still the worst, you know?”

“Eeh, but you know, if you don’t have the determination to push others aside and stand out, you won’t survive in the entertainment world… Ah, Onee-chan is a YouTuber, not a celebrity, so you might not understand♡”

“Haa? There’s no big difference there, is there?”

I could swear I heard Yuu’s blood vessels burst amidst the sound of water.

“Ahh, so that’s how it looks to ordinary people. Well, it’s understandable if you haven’t experienced it♡ It’s normal, so don’t worry♡”

“Ordinary…! Normal…! You’re using all the words I hate…!”

I interject with just one word.

“Could you two behave? I’ll leave you behind.”

“Okay, Onii-chan♡” “Sorry, Onii-chan…”

Yuu, you’re being influenced.

We somehow made it back to the beach and onto land.

“We’re here! Thanks, Onii-chan♡”

“O-Oh…”

I respond without looking at Ria, who is thanking me by my side.

However, there’s no sign of Yuu coming ashore.

Turning around, I see Yuu crouched at the water’s edge, holding her chest with both arms, her cheeks flushed and her eyes tearfully glaring at me resentfully.

“Don’t look, you idiot…!”

“S-Sorry.”

I hastily initiate a “【Destiny’s Choice】”.

The content is, of course, to quickly reunite with the other bride candidates and have them help settle the situation.

＝＝＝

【Destiny’s Choice】

What will you do now?

A: Revive the bride candidates

B: Continue spending time with the three of us

＝＝＝

“Eeh, I wanted to be alone with Onii-chan!♡”

“Ria, it’s your fault for stripping off, you know!?”

Both of them choose A, the same as me, and the second round comes to a close.

By the way, the reactions of the other three who appeared after seeing the revival notification were as follows:

“Shinichi, if you want to see that much, I’ll show you mine as much as you want…? Mine are bigger than Ria-chan’s…?”

“Onii-chan is indeed the worst pervert, isn’t he…?”

“Ahaha, Hirakawa, you’ve got it tough, huh?”

Yep, it seems only Kanda understands that it wasn’t my intention.

“Kanda, thanks for understanding…”

“Ahaha, no problem. But man, to have such physical strength. To handle two people, that’s impressive.”

“You mean the strength to pull two people while swimming, right?”
