Chapter 811: Beach Swimming Final Part ⑦ (1/2)
After we finished playing beach volleyball, we continued to enjoy the beach. We played the classic watermelon splitting game and changing the pairings we had in the morning, we played various things.
How should I say this…… It was like we really had spent the whole day playing, and by the time the ocean became dyed in the redness of dusk, my body felt an indescribable sense of comfortable fatigue.
And as expected from the beach Laguna-san has recommended, the sunset at this beach was beautiful as well. I could see the sun sinking into the horizon, and it was so beautiful that I regretted not having something like a camera at hand.
[We've played a lot today, didn't we?.]
[……Unnn…… It was…… really fun.]
Hearing the words I muttered, Isis-san nodded, and I could see everyone else also had bright expressions on their faces. How should I say this…… It feels peaceful……. but it also feels a bit sad, knowing that the fun time is coming to an end.
[Sounds like a good way to bring this trip to an end~~]
[It's quite nice to watch the sunset at the end, isn't it? Well, if we had finished up in the evening, it would have been great if we could have some fireworks……]
As Fate-san lazily spoke while looking at the sunset, Alice laxly replied. Thereupon, hearing their words, Shiro-san lightly brought her hand on her chin and muttered.
[……Fumu, fireworks huh. I see, that certainly might be great to have at the end.]
[Unnn? Shiro, are you going to set off fireworks? Well, that certainly was a good idea. It's still a little bright, but there are no obstructions in the scenery anyway, so I think it will still be a beautiful sight.]
[Well then, let's do it at once……]
Hearing Kuro's approval, Shiro-san lightly waved her hand in the direction of the ocean. Thereupon, cannon-like things rose up from the sea…… from the flow of the conversation, those things should be the tubes where the fireworks would shoot off…… ”and there's a whole lot of them”.
[Fireworks huh…… I hadn't seen them that much, but it should be quite the spectacular sight, isn't it?]
[……No, that is……]
[……Y- Yes…… As expected…… Isn't that too many?]
Anima exclaimed in admiration upon seeing the large number of tubes lined up on the sea, but Sieg-san and Lilia-san looked perplexed. I know exactly what the two of them were feeling…… I mean, I probably have the expression on my face right now.
However, reality is a cruel mistress. Not waiting for me to calm my thoughts, I saw the fuses from the large number of cannons ”simultaneously ignite”.
[……Shallow Vernal-sama, how many fireworks were you setting off?]
[Referring to the fireworks display of Kaito-san's world, I had set off ”5 thousand” fireworks.]
[Heehhh…… It's quite a large scale. But as far as I could see, all the fuses were lit up though…… There's no way that ”they're all going to set off at the same time”?]
[Unnn? ”Was simultaneously setting all of them off no good?”]
[……………………]
After confirming with Shiro-san what was probably bothering all of us, Alice looked somewhat dumbfounded as she let out a sigh, and instantly moved in front of me, standing in a position to protect me.
And at the same time, out of the corner of my eye, I could see what seemed to be Alice's clone standing in front of Sieg-san…… and with a thunderous roar that seemed to shake the air, the sky was enveloped in a tremendous light.
It was truly a huge explosion, but I didn't feel any shock or sound reverberating in my ears, nor did I feel much glare even with the light around me, probably because Alice was firmly protecting me. She really is a swift person that I can rely on.
[……You've been acting decent all day, so why is it that your airheadedness popped out at the last minute? Well, in a way, I guess it's just like Shiro to do something like this…… I guess I've gotten sloppy.]
[Mnhhh…… For someone who was getting in Alice's way earlier and won't stop putting your Identification Title: Baby Castellas away, lacking-individuality-Kuro sure has got some things to say huh.]
[…….Huh?]
