Vol 3 Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 2: Welcome to the Netherworld!
I opened my eyes, before me was a plain of sea… And so we return to the present
I tried asking Iris about the situation
It seeiant fish, ere transported all the way to the Netherworld through a side Abyss Gate that exists under the sea
… No, If I’ I want to wake up
They say that the different Abyss Gates that exist on land, sea and sky have each one their own control post froe them
Though I’d like to think that all of this was a joke… It seeiant fish that sed us is a major means of transport in the Netherworld to cross the underwater Abyss Gate
From the start, it see lived in the Netherworld for a long tiiant fish
But then… I still don’t have the feeling of “I cae of the netherworld includes things like the “Mountain of Nails”[1] or the “Sea of Blood”[2] Right now, if we take out part of the scenery[3], it doesn’t seem to be so different from the human world
“Then… Where are Zonmi and the rest?”
If ht… I think both Zonmi and Kyouko were also sed by the fish
Though I could call back Zon if I felt like it… It would be a pain if I left Manami out
As I tried asking, feeling uneasy, Iris quietly snorted,
“… Thy worries are not required If it’s those lasses, they are yonder, scrutinizing what bathing suit they shall change into”
“… Is that so? If everyone is safe, that’s fine”
That was close
Had I su into their swiuess what follows
“About bathing suits… Even though it’s the saely wanted to cater to thy affections”
Mu
Where Iris was looking at, there was a shed that seemed to be a beach hut
… Guessing fro, do they run a swimsuit rental service in that hut?
“For saying that any one was fine, it seems you’ve chosen a cheekily cute swimsuit”
“Nu…? Nunu!?”
As I jokingly told that, Iris reacted in a panicked fashi+on
“T-thou…!! W-what hallucinations dost thou speak of!?
My choosing of this bathing suit… T-this one was simply the first I put …”
“… N-no I understand Since I understand Don’t glare at me like that…”
I wonder why she denied it so vehemently
Iris is, after all, a girl of that age (?)
Taking her ti weird
Rather, I think that would have been the nor…
“… Chiharu Have you finally woken up?”
Along with the sound of the waves canified alto [4] voice
“Uoh!?”
I unintentionally let out a high pitch cry
Turningnext to me
“O-oniichan You woke up—♪”
“…’d grief Till ould you keep sleeping”
One after another, Kyouko (in a swimsuit) & Manami (in a swimsuit) also rushed to my side
By the hile we are at it, I’ll explain what kinds of swi—
Zon, respectively, a white bikini and a black one
Zon fits to a T with Zonmi’s honor student personality
Kyouko’s swi bikini with the cloth area reduced to the extrens of the effort to release a bit of sexiness while concealing the body handicaps (like the bust size) can be seen
About Manah it reaches the level of, if possible, no comments… It was a shell bikini made from three shells, on the smallish side (japanese scallop?), that cover the breast and the nether regions Deplorable
“Uffu~n♪ How’s it—? Having taken the trouble of co to the Netherworld, Manaraah!!”
“…”
Manami mimicked sound was absolutely unlike any one a mermaid would make
The usual ust, but… The current me didn’t have the composure
“… Chiharu? Could it be that you are feeling unwell? In that case… You better rest under that tree’s shadow…”
“…”
“Haru? What’s theto the Underworld has been such a shock—”
“I-it’s not like that, Kyouko-oneechan!? Look again!”
Mana scene
“Could it be… Itthis even for Mana for reals!?”
““… What?””
For an instant, Zonape and a face of not knohat’s what, but as soon as they realized I was, in fact, crying, their countenances clouded
So
As soon as I saw these chicks in swis, I started shedding manly tears
“Say, girls… Could you keep quiet and listen to my story?”
Since, unusual of irls nodded in silence and waited for my words
“That… Happened last summer
Since the holidays were co, it was intolerable With Youhei… We both went to the beach on the last day of summer
On paper, the plan was to pick up girls
However, let’s think calmly about it
When two dull irlfriend = their age, will they succeed in picking up girls?
No, even if they accept the challenge and without fail they suffer honorable defeat, I think that’s still one e on the bitter memories of youth
However, you know… What sadly happened was that eren’t able to call out to a single girl Without courage, we couldn’t even set foot on the e
And so, you know? I made a promise with Youhei
‘Next suirls in swimsuits, we’ll live a rose-colored youth’, we promised
Youhei… My… Our dream, I realized it
Hoish you too… Could see this scenery”
““““…””””
Hoas it, this trauma of mine deeper than the Mariana trench[5] I’ve presented to you?
Being considerate with the seriousness of the irls remained silent
… Nevertheless, that’s only natural
Though I’ve coirls’ pasts, this is the first time I talk about mine of my own volition with my oords
“Hehe! My bad… Getting all et what I just said”
Like that, putting an end to it hat I reckon are the coolest words, I suddenly noticed
Looking at them, contrary to my expectations—
“… Erm, excuse me I don’t kno do I have to react before such an unfunny story told with a serious face…”
“… How do I put it, where was the emotive part in the story just now?”
“Oniichan, learn to read the mood…”
“What a folly, monster tamer…”
“Uh… wha…”
I’ve been told as they liked
GRRR These wenches don’t understand
The feelings of two irls, didn’t have to courage to call up to them and ended up with no other choice but to spend the ti up jellyfish that ashed ashore inside a vinyl bag (true story)
“Well… Saying it with simple words, your swimsuits are excessively cute and the best These are tears of joy”
“…”
This is bad Could it be I’ve dug rave deeper?
The girls have once again beco their heads down
So it seems
Iwords a little too much
“… Moron If it’s like that, don’t start talking nonsense…”
With her cheeks very red , the words of the sighing Kyouko cruelly resounded in my ears
“I see Exactly as rumored, a true ladykiller”
“!?”
The one who suddenly intruded in our conversation was none other than the one responsible of having brought us to the Netherworld just a while ago
The young woman in maid clothes
However, different fro swimsuit
… Hoeird
Speaking of racing swimsuits with their low exposure, despite, if pushed, I’d say they give a plain ily sexy
As I expected, is it because of her breasts? Is it due to her breasts?
“Excuse my late introduction My name is Lilith
I’m the succubus Lilith Artemisia
Chiharu-saiveness for o Excuse me”
Why is it
Certainly, it’s obvious that you should speak huiveness, but…
Is this what’s known as ‘businesslike’? In any case, I don’t think that her words are only a front
“Chiharu You don’t need to be so vigilant It seems that that was her nature from the start”
“… Is she trustworthy?”
“That… I also don’t knoever, at least it seeht harm to us”
“… Understood”
I don’t knohat has happened, but it see
“Well, then, as originally agreed, I’ll borrow Chiharu-sao ahead and enjoy the beach for an hour”
“Comprehended Take care of thatyou”
“…”
So Lilith-san about the circumstances
With this and that, I—
Guided by Lilith-san, irls seee clothes
× × ×
The beach house (?) Lilith-san brought reat variety of swiht, runs a swimsuit rental service
Other than swimsuits, as it has facilities like lockers or shower rooms, here too, the standard structure doesn’t seem to be very different to a beach house from the human world
The only thing that feels different, perhaps that there’s absolutely no one inside the cottage?
It’s only natural that I worry about that, but this shop’s anize this?
Harboring this doubt, I entered the cabin alone with Lilith-san
“What’s theat my breasts? Want me to kill you?”
“… Wha-what?”
Totally puzzled, what I received was a irl over there
“Could it be, do you think I didn’t notice?
Men are really the lowest With the excuse that that’s part ofall over them…”
“…”
Eh… Wha…
What the heck?
This girl… The moment ere alone, it seeed into this
“Aah, I forgot saying that I’s… Rather, they are what I hateto asomewhat rude Excuse me”
“…”
I see
I see
So that’s the reason the ed so suddenly
But asuccubus is a weird tale
Be that as itshe hates s on earth the thing she hates most in the world?
It see’ means
“Then… Though I have ht us to the Netherworld?”
Cutting off our conversation, I pro questions
“That’s a justified doubt However, in order to answer that question, there are several things we must talk about before”
“… Understood”
“Firstly, Chiharu-sae about what your ?”
“Haah… If it’scompany and is currently overseas on a temporary job transfer”
“How du since realized it, by the point she arrived here…”
“…?”
What the heck?
Surely, I do realize that I’ve been called dus me is how could I lose to Manami
“Kanae-sama’s job is, like yours, monster tamer”
“… Wha!?”
Before such an unexpected declaration, I cried in disarray
“Eerrrm Do you have any proof? How can I believe you if you tell me that so suddenly?”
“… A proof?”
