Speaking of summer, of course, we'd think of the sea, and speaking of the sea, of course, we'd think of swimsuits.
If it were a few years ago, especially before meeting Arthur, Naoki would definitely be very excited to go to the beach, because at that time he was still a simple ordinary human, would unconsciously look at the beautiful scenery on the beach, and couldn't resist the urge of his libido.
However, for his current self, after meeting Arthur and his life undergoing tremendous changes.
"Just so-so."
This was Naoki's only thought at the moment, while sitting under a beach umbrella.
Although one after another young girls in luxurious swimsuits passed in front of him, Naoki's heart remained completely unmoved. Not to mention that he was already 23 years old, he had already passed the age where his eyes followed every movement of color. It was just that his experiences over the past few years had made him uninterested in ordinary women.
Just look at the kind of women he had interacted with over the years.
Ignoring personality, one after another were all exceptionally beautiful girls, especially among them were Merlin and Arcueid who were basically professional players, even coach level...
[That brat's taste has improved greatly, if this continues, how will you find a wife in the future?]
Because Gray went to change into her swimsuit, in order to prevent Add from getting caught in a very advantageous situation, Naoki directly restrained him, along with Ruby who was now also locked in the cage.
[By the way, I've always been curious, even though Young Master looks like the type of playboy who would be immersed in luxury and women, why is he still single?]
[If I told you, you probably wouldn't believe it. Although he's very popular among women, everything is stuck at the same level, neither high nor low, it's really strange. The only one taking the lead is a stubborn tsundere, playing push and pull with him every day]
"What are you talking about, Add?" Naoki poked the cage in astonishment, "Why don't I feel popular among women? Although the women I know are indeed a bit more, it's not to this extent. And who are you referring to pulling and pushing with me?"
[You understand what I mean, right? Ruby]
[OK, fully understood]
"So what exactly are you talking about?"
[Nothing, just feeling a little hopeless about your attitude towards romance]
[Young Master, I have a feeling, you will definitely get caught in a Shuraba in the future]
Shuraba? (A chaotic scene, often involving romantic entanglements)
Him, Natsukawa Naoki?
Naoki immediately burst into laughter: "How is that possible? A Shuraba needs at least two women gathered together to happen. If I'm the center, then where can I find two people who like me?"
[Oh]
Add carefully thought for a moment and realized that it seemed to be the case.
Although Naoki had quite a few female friends, it seemed that not many truly liked him. At most, there was Riddel, the others were just fairly good friends.
For example, the Aozaki sisters, one regarded him as a student, the other as a junior.
For example, Ryougi Shiki, carried a knife every day and thought about how to defeat him.
Gray did have a little interest, but she wasn't old enough, so pass.
Arcueid was the same.
As for Morgan and Merlin... never mind.
The rest were all limited to friends with a fairly good relationship.
Counting it like this, Naoki really wouldn't get caught in a Shuraba?!
[Hey brat, could it be you're doing it on purpose? Making your relationship with others like this]
"What are you talking about? By the way, why are Gray and the others taking so long?" Naoki looked towards the changing rooms.
Men weren't like women, changing clothes didn't require the hassle of dozens of minutes. He only needed to take off all his clothes and change into swimming trunks, but he had been basking in the sun for almost ten minutes now, and Gray and the others still hadn't appeared.
[Could it be they were intercepted? For example, by people with blonde hair like you]
"Even so, it's impossible for them to dare to do anything to elementary school students, right?"
[That's true too—why are you standing up? Going to the toilet?]
"No, just want to patrol for a bit." Naoki laughed, "See if there are any idiots who need me to help them with free skull surgery."
[...]
[...]
Seeing Naoki leave, Ruby and Add exchanged glances, then both showed the same cunning smile.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The bloody incident that would involve the police naturally didn't happen. Naoki had just arrived at the front of the changing room door and happened to see Rin and Luvia come out.
Seeing Naoki's arrival, Rin couldn't help but say: "Naoki? Why did you come to the women's changing room?"
"You guys took too long, I came to see what was going on, where's Gray?"
"Still inside, she'll be out in a moment." Saying this, Rin's eyes glanced to the side, then she tidied her hair, "By the way, Naoki, any impressions?"
"Hmm? Impressions? What impressions?"
Naoki didn't understand what Rin was saying for a moment, but after thinking a little he understood: "Oh, impressions of the swimsuits?"
"Um, what do you think?"
"Just so-so, pretty good." Naoki answered casually, "Luvia's too, but to be honest, that gold swimsuit is a bit too flashy, I think it's a bit..."
"Flashy?"
Luvia looked at the swimsuit on her body: "How rude, this is a swimsuit specially made by the Edelfelt family's personal tailor for me, perfectly showcasing my personal charm, how can it be called flashy?"
"Whatever you say—ah, Gray, you're out."
Noticing Gray's figure appearing at the door, Naoki directly passed the two people in front of him and approached her.
Although when they went to the shopping mall earlier, Luvia said it was okay to buy swimsuits no matter how expensive, Gray ultimately chose a plain pink and white swimsuit, with lace that quite suited a little girl's preferences.
"B-big Brother?!"
Naoki's sudden appearance startled Gray. She quickly took a step or two back, while unconsciously reaching her hand to the top of her head to pull something, but since she had taken off her hood a while ago, she had nothing to pull to cover her face, and could only look at Naoki with slightly flushed cheeks.
"Don't suddenly scare me like that, Big Brother..."
"You guys took too long to come out, I was a little worried, so I came to check. The swimsuit is so cute, it suits you very well."
"Eh?" The sudden praise instantly surprised Gray, and her heart was filled with hard-to-suppress joy, "R-really? Thank you, Big Brother."
'Good! It seems Big Brother likes this type of swimsuit, note it down for later!'
And on the other side, Rin and Luvia were slightly stunned by the scene in front of them.
'Didn't expect to actually lose to an elementary school girl...'
