「Ahhhh! Mince-san has taken over the island!」

「Come on」

While I was looking at the swimsuits around, the crowd on the raft disappeared before I knew it.

The leader of the Magical Schenker Group, the retiree Mince-san, stood on the raft and provoked the crowd.

I no longer think this is a game.

「Charge!」

Another scalekin crawled up on the raft and began to attack vigorously.

The attack was sharp from what I saw from a distance but Mince-san just flick it with her wrist….

Then, she counterattacked in a very fast manner that it was almost invisible to the naked eye. The fishkin was knocked into the water.

Without a pause, a boarkin crawled up on the raft and tackled Mince-san.

However, she was thrown away in seconds.

The scalekin that was thrown off earlier laughed out loud as soon as she floated back to the surface.

The adventurers are simply….

No wonder they were avoided by the thugs in the city.

We were eating octopus dumplings away from the pool, where Mince-san was on a rampage and was having a great time when we heard a loud scream.

There should be bloodshed! When I went to check, I saw everyone looking at something….

We could see Mince-san’s pale face, holding the wreckage of the raft, which had been broken to pieces.

Ah, she broke it.

「Jirin, can you do something about it?」

「No, we specialized in civil engineering. We can build scaffoldings out of logs but we can’t take care of things like that….」

I’m sure the other guys from the construction team can take care of it.

We dig holes all the time so we’re not suited for that kind of work….

「Anyone, Mince-san is about to cry.」

It’s true. She’s already trembling.

Is there anyone who can….

Ah! Mamoi’s in the pool.

She’s always carving woodwork and other crafts in the basement so maybe she can fix that raft.

「Hey! Mamoi! Here! Look here!」

「Eh!? Me!?」

I saw Mince-san, who had probably heard what we were talking about, walk to Mamoi and bow her head.

She’ll be fine now.

It’s best to ask a woodworker to do woodworking.

After a week, we went to the pool and saw a mysterious thing that was bigger than us.

It has a strange shape. It looks like a sloped platform.

Checking it, I found that it was made of bamboo and wood and seemed very sturdy.

Everyone lined up on the opposite side of the pool, at the strange thing.

What is this wooden board?

Use it to slide in the pool?

Sounds like fun!

「Let’s line up! Let’s line up!」

「Whoahhhh! Who made this?」

「Mamoi, it’s Mamoi! She’s amazing!」

「Right right! I thought she was doing something in the basement for a couple of days and then, this thing came out after!」

Ah, it’s so tough.

Maybe she got inspired after fixing the raft.

As we waited and chatted on the line, it was finally my turn.

Everyone was lying on their stomach on the board so I decided to follow their lead.

I slowly leaned forward on the platform and as soon as my body hit the slope, I started to slide.

I felt a tugging sensation and then, a splash! I was in the water in no time at all.

My face hurts but….

It’s so much fun!

One more time! One more time!

In the end, that day, we all kept lining up for the sliding thing until the sun went down.

We tried sliding on the wooden platform while standing, by rolling down, sliding in pairs, and sitting down.

We did a lot of silly things like children and laughed a lot.

In the middle of the pool, there was another battle for the island, and on the other side of the pool was a group of fishkins teaching other girls who don’t know how to swim.

It was just an ordinary day off but it was lively like a festival and everyone had a smile on their faces.

This summer is really awesome!

We work, play in the pool, drink, and have a good time every day.

I’m so glad I was born.

Everyone cheers for the birdkins who jumped into the pool after making circles in the air on top of the slide.

I know it’s very hard because I already experienced doing silly things on the slide.

The drinks taste better just by watching.

I wish it will be like this every year from now on!

Ah, but….

Thinking about it, I wonder if it’s okay to put such a big thing in master’s pool without his permission?

If I am asked about it, I’ll put all the blame on Mamoi…..

Also, at the end of summer, a sign saying “Don’t drink alcohol before swimming”.

Did anyone drown?
