Chapter 50: Swimsuit Little Boar.
[Gawain hurriedly pulls you out of the encirclement of married woman, and you narrowly escape being eaten by married woman.]
Three minutes later.
"Thank you, Gawain…"
Eikou said, his expression still showing lingering fear.
Worthy of being Morgan's eldest son, Gawain really was the one who treated his stepfather with the most filial devotion.
"Sir Eikou, I'm not trying to scold you…"
Gawain shook his head, speaking in the tone of an older brother giving guidance.
"You're far too easy to deceive. You actually followed those married woman back just for such a flimsy reason. It's a good thing we were here—otherwise, your chastity would have been handed over right on the spot today."
"I'm sorry, I thought if I could help, then I should help. And I felt that if it was just sitting and drinking a single glass with them, it should be fine… they looked really pressed, and I just went along with the 분위기 and followed them…"
Eikou wore an endlessly regretful expression.
"That really is the kind of naive thinking typical of a married woman…"
Tristan sighed emotionally at the side.
"Who are you calling a married woman?!"
Eikou shot him a glance. "Alright, alright, forget that unpleasant incident just now. Let's properly enjoy today's beach and blue sea. Training Camp only starts tomorrow, tonight is still free time—so today we absolutely have to play to our hearts' content!"
After saying that, he turned his head to look at the vast, beautiful blue sky and sea before them. Together with the Knights of the Round Table, he couldn't help but feel lighthearted and refreshed.
"Ah, the weather really is pleasant—"
"If only we could see Our King in a swimsuit."
Gawain sighed.
"But beside us, we only have Our King of the Fairy Kingdom who belongs to the Caster class. I doubt she would wear a swimsuit here…"
Tristan said.
Eikou asked in a meaningful tone: "Do you guys really want to see Boar-chan in a swimsuit?"
"..."
In the minds of the three, the scene from the previous river bathing immediately surfaced—when Artoria Caster had worn a sun-protection jacket that looked no different from a raincoat.
That image had absolutely no summer romance whatsoever; just thinking about it made it feel like summer had already ended.
"Haizz…"
The three young men sighed in unison.
"If you have complaints about me, can't you just say them to my face? Why is it that every time you mention me, you all start sighing like that?!"
From behind them came the somewhat childish shout of a girl.
Eikou turned around. Before his eyes was a blonde girl wearing a swimsuit, glaring angrily at the group of boys.
Artoria wore a sun hat atop her slightly messy blonde hair. Draped over her was a light, thin white outer shirt, and beneath that shirt was a white two-piece swimsuit.
A slender waist, smooth fair skin revealed under the sunlight, a cool and lively girlish figure—the beautiful blonde girl with a petite build stood upright on the sandy beach.
Although the design was still rather conservative, for Artoria, this was already beachwear that required her to muster all her courage to wear.
"She actually came wearing a swimsuit?!"
Eikou exclaimed in shock; the other two Knights of the Round Table were also unable to hide their wide-eyed astonishment.
"What's so surprising about that? I also know how to dress properly to match the summer atmosphere, you know. Don't underestimate me!"
Boar-chan said proudly, the ahoge on the top of her head even sticking up, almost knocking her sun hat off.
"So that's how it is, Wild Boar Princess, you really are impressive…"
Eikou stroked his chin. "Then… what's the real reason?"
"Well, that sun-protection jacket of mine last time… no, that 'swimsuit'—I don't know who stole it. I had no choice. This swimsuit is something I rushed to buy at the swimsuit shop next door. I didn't want it to be that when everyone else was wearing swimsuits to go into the sea, I'd be the only one without one. That would make me look like some super conservative country girl!"
"?"
Eikou thought to himself: she wore that sun-protection jacket that didn't expose a single inch of skin—could that really be considered fashionable?
"In any case, that thief is truly unforgivable. I only put the swimsuit on the tea table in the hotel lobby for a moment, and when I turned around, it was already stolen! Did any of you see some sneaky, suspicious figure earlier?"
"Great job! All hail the thief!!"
Everyone ignored her question and cheered in unison.
That was truly the greatest despicable thief in human history!
(Note: LOL, I'll bet 5$ that it was Oberon.)
"Why are you all taking the thief's side?!"
Artoria bared her cute shark-like teeth and shouted angrily.
"Don't be angry, Artoria,"
Eikou hurriedly tried to placate her. "People say that within misfortune there is fortune. Losing a swimsuit that didn't suit you, and then finding one that suits you better—doesn't that count as a kind of luck as well?"
"Um… but still, it's kind of embarrassing…"
Eikou narrowed his eyes and smiled. "No, no, I think you look very cute wearing this swimsuit."
"..."
Artoria's small face instantly turned bright red, and she shyly pressed her lips together.
Eikou carefully looked her over from head to toe and nodded. "But if you had even half of Barghest's figure, it would be even better."
"Hey, you bastard Eikou, if you're going to praise someone then just finish praising them! What do you mean by suddenly turning to someone else halfway through?!"
Artoria bristled and shouted.
"Please don't listen to him, My King,"
Gawain said seriously. "No matter how you dress, no matter how modest and petite your figure may be, it does not diminish your great image in our hearts, the Knights of the Round Table, in the slightest. Please do not be angered by a joke from Sir Eikou. In our hearts, you are always supreme and unparalleled!"
"It sounds like praise, but the more I listen, the more it feels like an insult."
"How could that be, we hold the utmost reverence—"
Gawain suddenly froze, his gaze stolen away by a voluptuous beauty in a swimsuit who had just walked past. Only then did he turn back, smiling as he continued, "—for you!"
Bang!
Artoria, both embarrassed and furious, directly launched a high kick, sending both of them flying.
The explosive power of Strength B immediately kicked Eikou and Gawain far away.
"Go to hell and slowly talk about your so-called feelings there, you two idiots!"
After saying that, Artoria, her face flushed red, turned her head toward Tristan standing nearby.
The latter instantly shuddered.
"I… my King, I didn't do anything, I didn't say anything either!"
He hurriedly explained. "I'm innocent!"
"But just now, in your heart, you agreed with them, didn't you? Come here and eat my kick!"
"Haizz…"
Tristan let out a sigh, as if resigning himself to fate. He walked up in front of her and turned his back.
"You should at least deny it a little!"
Bang!
Artoria kicked him hard in the butt, sending him flying as well.
...
"Hmph, truly a hateful Wild Boar…"
Eikou muttered softly as he was kicked into the sandy beach.
But his body didn't feel much pain, because beneath him was soft, warm sand.
No…
Something felt off.
Below was indeed soft and warm, but this feeling seemed far too soft and full?
His face was almost being pressed by that warmth to the point where he could barely breathe.
Eikou raised his head in confusion.
Only then did he see that beneath him—quite unfortunately—he was pressing down on a blonde Fairy Knight who had just passed by.
A dignified and beautiful face, a tall and sturdy body honed through long training, bewitching heterochromatic eyes, and two overly proud 'mountains' jutting high on her chest, tightly bound within a yellow everyday uniform.
It was none other than the Fairy Knight Gawain, Barghest.
Eikou's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At that very moment, he suddenly understood that just now, his face had been buried in two soft, full masses, more abundant than those of any other woman.
At this time, Barghest also finally saw clearly who exactly was pressing on top of her.
The two stared at each other in silence for a moment.
Barghest's face instantly flushed red.
"I'm sorry! Barghest!"
Eikou hurriedly apologized to her.
[You know you shouldn't be thinking like this...]
[But in your heart, you still feel a little pleased. Disaster With Women doesn't seem to be such a bad thing after all!]
[Right after that, you suddenly realize that with the summer beach being full of such sexy beauties, could your skill My Love Is Eternal be increasing very quickly?]
