Chapter 103 – Souta melting
It’s the height of summer in Adelheid, this alternative world.
The cicadas on the trees in the garden sing so much that it becomes annoying
I, Kazehaya Sota, was lying like a dead man on the edge of the well-ventilated house.
It’s hot.
It’s too hot.
Damn it! It’s times like this that I hate alternate worlds!
For a gamer like me, this environment is unbearable.
In the last battle against the Dragon Empress Kururu, we got 100 million col, which is a lot of money.
But no matter how much money it is, in this world, you can’t even install an air conditioner in the room.
“Sou~ta~. How long are you going to keep on lazing around? If this goes on, defeating the Demon Lord will only be possible in dreams~.”
“If you say it like that… you just make it seem impossible.”
The name of the beautiful girl rolling beside me is Aphrodite.
Aphrodite, with blonde hair and blue eyes, has a flawless appearance, although she is a self-proclaimed goddess of beauty.
To borrow an old-fashioned expression, it’s kind of brazen.
Such a beautiful girl is lying in light clothes.
Normally, I would have been turned on, but…
Anyway, it was too hot right now for that.
“Master, is your back okay?”
The name of the beautiful girl who knelt down and called me respectfully was Carolina.
Carolina, with her silver hair, red eyes and slim figure, exudes a charm that is different from that of Aphrodite.
As expected from a cold beauty.
Even in the scorching heat, Carolina kept her style.
“Water Storm.”
Next thing I know, my back’s turned.
I heard a familiar magic spell.
A wind containing tiny grains of ice began to blow from the Carolina palm.
Oh, great!
That’s great, Carolina!
“I’ve~co~me~back~to~life~”
Seriously, it’s getting cold!
The grains of ice bump and tingle a bit, which is a bit uncomfortable, but it’s quite bearable.
“I’m glad you’re happy. I trained myself to control the intensity of the magic, and I was right to do so.”
“Hey! Souta, that’s cheating! Let me do that too!”
The range of Carolina’s magic is only the size of a human.
Aphrodite feels the fresh breeze and clings to my body, making it reach only her.
“Ehehe, ehehe. How cool~”
“You lazy goddess! Wind thief!”
Mugyuuuuuu.
The wind only reaches Aphrodite as she presses her soft body against me.
Normally, I would have been excited, but…
Anyway, it was too hot right now for that.
I’m sorry.
I guess I embellished the story a little.
To tell you the truth, I’m a little better now, but cooling my body is still a priority right now.
“I’m going to expand the scope of magic a little bit. The difficulty with this technique is that it requires a lot of concentration and can’t be continued for very long…”
Carolina explained apologizing, deftly extending the reach of the cool breeze for two people.
Ah~.
It feels good~.
As usual, Carolina is too competent.
I wish I could get a certain goddess to be even one tenth as talented as Caroline.
“—Caro, I want you to be with me always.”
What you should have in this other world is a competent maid.
If Carolina is here, I feel I can spend the summer in this other world without air conditioning.
“~~~!”
Then something unexplainable happened.
Somehow, Carolina’s complexion became red as a tomato, and a gust of wind blew so hard that my body was involuntarily blown away.
“Guhaaa!”
“Fugya!”
Ouch, ouch!
What in the world…?
Ice pebbles, which had grown to the size of a baseball, attacked me and Aphrodite.
“I-I’m so sorry! This magic requires very delicate control. I was so happy with the Master’s statement, my concentration accidentally faded.”
Emm…
I wonder where there was such an element for her to getting like that in my statement.
Carolina, who had failed in her magic, had a look of despair on her face, as if the world was going to be destroyed tomorrow.
“I-I was prepared for this to happen, Master. Use this knife to cut my throat!”
How did it come to this?!
Carolina being so loyal makes me happy, but sometimes she gets out of control in a strange way.
“If it’s so hot, why not go to the beach?”
The name of the girl who looks in our direction and made such a suggestion is Ciel O’Telrod.
Ciel, with a small build of five feet, has the beauty of a pet.
Right now.
I’m in the process of having Ciel make “a certain tool” for me.
“Ciel, now, what…?”
“Uh, yes. That is why the sea. On a hot day like this, you have to take a quick bath, don’t you think?”
Why didn’t I realize how simple this was?
The idea of going to the beach because it’s so hot was never thought of by a non-traditional person like me in the first place. Yeah.
So far I’ve wondered, how do you lock yourself in an air-conditioned room on a hot day? What was I thinking?
Why is that?
There’s nothing fun about going to the beach by yourself.
But, nevertheless.
It’s different since I was summoned to the other world!
Now there are lots of pretty girls who could go to the beach with me!
Surrounded by pretty girls in swimsuits, the beach must be absolutely fun.
“Yes! Tomorrow we’ll go to the beach! This is the month of summer improvement!”
That’s it!
That’s one thing I was wrong about.
Sure, there’s a lot to hate about summer, but it’s not just a lousy season.
I’m sure it’s a lot of fun to see girls in swimsuits and then see more girls in swimsuits!
