Episode 257: Phantom Thief Porori

"Let's leave that thing and go into the sea."

"Yees!!"

"Nn."

"As expected, a succubus is ..."

The women leave me buried in the sand and go to the sea to play.

"Fuu ... I had a terrible time. Everyone is terrible, right? Luck."

"Won."

When I crawl out of the sand and wipe off the sand from my body. Luck comes up to me and comforts me by rubbing against me with its head.

"Hahahahaa. After all, Luck is my only ally."

I hug Luck and get healed by its mofumofu.

While being melancholic with Luck, I sit down and watch Nanami and the others play. At the water's edge, the girls dip their feet into the water as if it looks cold and frolic. Nanami takes the initiative to go into the sea and throw water on everyone. Everyone joins in as if they were outdone, and develops through water negotiations.

A scene of pretty girls having fun while giggling as the splashes of water reflect in the blazing sun.

Precious.

It's like a girls-only sanctuary. I don't think there's room for me, a man, to enter there.

"Onii-chan!! Hurry up and come!!"

While I am thinking about such a hopeless thing, Nanami waves at me and calls me, so Luck and I rush to the beach.

"There!!"

"Uwaa. Cold!?"

As soon as I approach, Amane splashes water at me. The seawater is quite cold and I am surprised.

"Fufufu, it's punishment for calling someone a succubus."

"I'm sorry. Amane is also really cute."

"Y, yeah. Then, I'll forgive you."

I apologize to Amane, who smiles like she is making fun of me for feeling cold, and when I say a compliment again, Amane looks a little embarrassed and forgives me while messing with her hair.

""No flirting!!""

"Kya!?"

"Nowaa!?"

While I am talking to Amane, along with the voices of the other three, a tremendous amount of water attacks me and Amane. As a result, Amane and I get soaked.

"Fufufufuu."

"Ahahahaa."

We laugh out loud while looking at each other's soaking wet faces.

That alone helps us understand what we want to do together.

"You've done it now!!"

"You really did a good job!!"

Amane and I collude and pour water on everyone.

"Kyaa!!"

"Let's run away!!"

"Nn!!"

Everyone respectively gets involved in running around trying to escape. After that, we chase the three of them around for a while and have a lot of fun throwing water at each other.

"Haa ... Haa ... What should we do next."

After soaking each other until we are satisfied, we think about what to do next.

Bathing in the ocean, playing with sand, beach balls, swimming in floats, and getting sunburn. I don't think there is much to play with.

Ah, but, when I went to buy dungeon supplies, there was something I was encouraged to buy.

"Speaking of which, I bought something like this, would you like to ride it?"

"Oh, it's a banana boat!!"

Yes, what I take out is a vehicle called a banana boat.

It's shaped like a banana, and it's like a boat-shaped floating ring that can be ridden by multiple people.

It's a famous vehicle that is often pulled by personal watercraft and motorboats, and you drive on the sea while clinging to the banana boat so you don't fall into the sea.

"Well done, having that kind of thing."

"I bought it just in case something like this happened."

"I don't think that's something that would happen often ... It might not be too bad."

Amane looks at me in amazement, and I can't say that I bought it because I couldn't turn down the clerk's recommendation.

"So, a banana boat is fine, but I think they're pulled by a personal watercraft or motorboat. What will we do?"

""...""

Everyone falls silent at Rei's perfectly reasonable point.

No, there must be a solution ... Ah, that's right!!

"Tie a rope around me and I'll try to pull it."

I come up with a good idea.

I think I can probably use my powers as an explorer to swim without any problems.

"Eh?"

"Haa?"

"Hee?"

"Nn."

I am the one who says it to myself, but everyone is surprised and exposes an incredulous look at me, except for Shia.

"No, no, I'm an explorer, and I might be able to swim as fast as a motorboat, right?"

"it may be possible, but ... Is Satou-kun okay with that?"

Everyone looks like it's impossible, so I explain it properly, and Rei confirms my intentions while affirming my hypothesis.

"Oh, I don't mind at all. If everyone enjoys it, that's fine."

"U, understood. Let's do it."

"Roger."

Rei gives me permission, so I float the banana boat and tie it to me with a rope, then go into the sea.

"Are you ready?"

"It's fine!!"

When I call out to them from about ten meters ahead of the banana boat, Nanami, who is in the front, waves back.

"Should I try it then."

I psych myself up by slapping my cheeks and begin to swim.

"Uooooooooooooooo!!"

I pull the boat with a front crawl.

"Ahahahahaa. Fast, fast!!"

"Fun."

"He's really pulling it!!"

"Amazing!!"

I raise a spray of water behind me, and when I look back, I can see the boat pushing its way through the sea while splashing water.

Nanami and the others seem generally satisfied with the speed.

"Should I speed it up a bit more."

I speed up and swim out, swim in a circle, and finally return to the cove.

""Ahahahahahaa.""

Everyone behind me is laughing at the speed.

"How am I supposed to stop?"

I accidentally forgot to think about how to stop when I got back to where we started in the cove.

""Kyaa!!""

The boat, which has no power to pull it, loses its balance and overturns.

""Hey. Are you okay!!""(TN:Not sure why it's a multiple person indicator, maybe he's just yelling.)

I immediately run to where they overturned.

-Zabaaaaaaaaan

Four shadows rise vigorously. Apparently everyone is fine.

"Onii-chan is terrible!!"

"Nn!!"

"Think about the landing!!"

"Take responsibility until the very end!!"

I receive protests from everyone.

However, the moment I see their figures, I avert my gaze.

"Don't look away from me, Onii-chan!!"

"Nn!!"

"That's right, that's right!!"

"Look this way!!"

However, I am scolded by everyone, probably because they think I'm evading responsibility and averting my eyes.

"N, no, the three of you ..."

With my eyes still averted, I put my hand over my eyes and point at three pieces of cloth floating in the sea.

"" ~~ !? Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?""

Amane and Rei, who understand the situation they are in after I point it out, hide their two exposed beach balls with both hands and sink their bodies into the sea.

"Isn't Shia going to hide it too?"

"Nn."

For some reason, Shia stands proudly in front of me.

Since I'm having trouble finding a place to focus my eyes, I ask Shia to cover herself with her hands and sink into the water.

"Nanami, pick up the swimsuits for everyone and give them to them."

"Why am I the only one not pororiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?"(TN:Porori means to fall off/slip off.)

When I tell Nanami, who is the only one not wearing a two-piece swimsuit, to pick up everyone's swimsuits, for some reason, she cries lamenting that she is the only one who didn't have an accident.

As an older brother, I become very worried.
