Chapter 122: Beachside and Swimsuits

Compared to the girls who remained unaware of Hachiman's identity as a light novel author, those in the know maintained a much calmer atmosphere.

Especially Saeko, the girl who had taken the final step with him, remained composed throughout.

"Alright, let's not dwell on this. There are plenty of rooms in this villa, so each of you can pick one. Change into your swimwear, and we can head to the beach," Hachiman clapped his hands, interrupting their thoughts.

Upon hearing his words, the girls remembered that they were here to enjoy the beach. Their eyes lit up, and they paired off to select rooms.

Before leaving, Komachi turned back and playfully stuck out her tongue.

"We'll be changing into our swimsuits later. Onii-chan, you better not sneak a peek."

"Go away, you flat-chested little radish head. There's nothing worth peeking at," Hachiman waved his hand, teasingly scolding her.

"Ugh..."

Seeing her own youthful figure, Komachi couldn't argue and just let out a soft hum.

"Hmph, Onii-chan, I'm just not developed yet."

"But all the Onee-san have such great figures. Onii-chan, don't you want to see?"

As soon as this question was posed, the girls stopped in their tracks and turned their gaze toward Hachiman.

Well, there was no right answer to this question. If he said he wanted to see, they'd call him a pervert. If he said he didn't want to see, they might feel unattractive. Either way, it was a tricky situation.

"In that case, I'll go change by myself for now. After I'm done, you can take your turn," Hachiman replied casually, sidestepping the question entirely. With a nonchalant shrug, he made his way upstairs.

For a brief moment, the girls exchanged puzzled glances.

They hadn't anticipated his complete indifference to their teasing. Komachi muttered softly under her breath, "Silly Onii-chan," before ascending the stairs to choose a room.

Hachiman chose a room near the staircase at random, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.

The bed is quite spacious.

Wait, what am I thinking?

Ever since he and Saeko had taken their relationship to the next level, they had spent a lot of time together. However, they were now in a beachside villa, surrounded by numerous people, making it potentially inconvenient.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Hachiman decided to change into his swimsuit. For guys, changing into swimwear was a straightforward process – just strip off your clothes and put on swim trunks. He ascended the stairs and emerged from his room in just two minutes.

As he stepped out of his room, he encountered Shizuka, who had also just emerged from her room. She was among the few who had promptly gone upstairs to change without hesitation.

"Well, well, young man, I didn't expect you to have such an impressive physique. You even sport an eight-pack..." Shizuka's gaze toward Hachiman was appreciative. She wasn't a young girl, so she didn't shy away from openly admiring. There was no need for concealment or bashfulness.

Thanks to the Level 4 Physique module, Hachiman possessed an impressive body. It wasn't the bulked-up physique of a bodybuilder, but rather one with well-defined lines, giving him the appearance of agility, like a sleek cheetah concealing considerable explosive power within.

Shizuka had also changed into her swimsuit, a black two-piece. Thanks to her regular exercise, her figure was near perfection – fair, taut skin, shapely thighs, and a well-defined bust. Finding a husband shouldn't have been a challenge for her, so why was she still single?

As Hachiman's gaze roved from head to toe, Shizuka began to feel slightly flustered, though she couldn't quite pinpoint the reason.

"What are you staring at? Haven't you seen a beautiful woman before?" she quipped.

It was best not to provoke her. Hachiman shrugged and turned to descend the stairs.

Observing his departing figure, Shizuka couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Descending the stairs, Hachiman coincidentally encountered Ryo Kurokiba, who had also changed into his swim trunks. The two men proceeded to the beach together to prepare.

They arranged beach umbrellas, beach chairs, and other equipment while waiting for the girls to join them.

However, Hachiman found himself lounging in a beach chair, having to wait a good twenty minutes before the girls gradually emerged.

It seemed that the process of changing clothes was indeed different for guys and girls. After all, they only had an extra piece of fabric, so why did it take them so long?

The first to make their appearance were Yui, Yumiko, and Hina.

The trio wore swimsuits they had picked earlier and walked gracefully toward Hachiman.

With encouragement from Yumiko and Hina, Yui approached Hachiman, her question hesitantly voiced, "Hikki, what do you think of my swimsuit?"

She wore a pink two-piece swimsuit with delicate ties. The top accentuated her bust with a plunging neckline, highlighting her slender waist and shapely hips, while a pink thong with a sheer veil completed the ensemble, leaving her creamy thighs exposed to the air.

Upon seeing this swimsuit, Hachiman's eyes lit up, confirming that Yui indeed possessed an impressive figure.

"It looks truly beautiful, Yui. It suits you perfectly," he replied.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Yui's face radiated with a delighted smile at the compliment from her beloved.

At that moment, Yumiko and Hina also approached.

"What do you think, Yui? I told you this swimsuit would look stunning on you," Yumiko commented. She herself wore a regal red swimsuit.

Hina, on the other hand, sported a lively light blue swimsuit. Both of them exuded their unique charm.

"Miura-san and Ebina-san look fantastic as well. Truly beautiful," Hachiman complimented.

"Thank you for the kind words, Hikigaya-kun, but you only need to compliment Yui," Yumiko replied, although a subtle smile played on her lips, revealing her delight.

"Oh, Yumiko, let's not get caught up in this. Let's all head to the beach and have fun together," Yui, not one to linger on such discussions, ushered the two girls away towards the beach.

Following them were Utaha and Shizuka.

Utaha, known for her penchant for black stockings, seemed to favor the color black even in her choice of a two-piece swimsuit. Her legs, now devoid of stockings, showcased a curvaceous yet elegant appearance. She possessed a well-proportioned body, striking a balance between slimness and fullness, while her long hair flowed gracefully. Her demeanor exuded regal charm, reminiscent of an aristocratic young lady.

Shizuka, in stark contrast, paid no heed to Hachiman's presence and walked past him with an air of indifference.

Conversely, Utaha approached him with a smile.

"Hachiman-kun, what do you think?" she inquired.

"It looks fantastic, Utaha-senpai!" Hachiman couldn't resist giving his approval with a thumbs-up.

Utaha's lips curved into a satisfied smile upon hearing his praise.

"Just hold on a moment, Hachiman-kun. Your 'good friends' are about to make their entrance," Utaha commented.

As if on cue, the Katsura sisters, Kokoro and Kotonoha, along with Komachi, soon emerged together.

Let's not dwell on Komachi and Kokoro, the petite ones clad in childlike swimsuits. There wasn't much to see there.

Kotonoha had opted for a blue two-piece swimsuit. She held one hand over her chest and the other over her abdomen, walking gingerly as if she feared the swimsuit might suddenly come undone.

Well, there was indeed a possibility.

Her notably ample bosom swayed with every step she took, leaving Hachiman somewhat flustered by the sight.
