The three Amagami sisters felt the scene before their eyes blur for an instant.
Where tangled grass and trees had blocked their view a moment ago, sunlight now streamed through—
"Hm? What's that…?"
Amagami Yae blinked and looked again.
The greenery had vanished, replaced by a dazzling stretch of golden sand.
A salty, humid sea breeze carrying the scent of sun‑warmed waves washed over them, leaving the girls frozen in place.
"S‑Sis, I'm not seeing things, am I?"
Amagami Asahi rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.
"Th‑this is…the seaside?"
Yae and their youngest sister, Amagami Yuna, were equally stunned. The beach in front of them was the very cove they remembered from childhood.
What shocked them even more was that—there were people here!
And not just anyone: a group of girls, each as beautiful as a painting.
Not far away, a silver‑haired girl with eyes as blue as the sea was crouched on the sand, building a castle.
Beside her, a girl in a red bikini dashed excitedly toward the surf, the dragon tail behind her flinging up crystal‑clear spray.
Farther down the shore, several girls in different swimsuits lounged or sat chatting and laughing, sunlight gilding their figures with a golden halo.
Each girl was distinct in looks and demeanor, yet all radiated a stunning charm that left the shrine‑raised Amagami sisters gaping.
"So many…so many pretty big sisters!" Asahi whispered in awe, almost dropping the bamboo basket in her hands.
Yuna's eyes were round with wonder.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people? There was never anyone here before."
"Look—over there! A villa!"
"Wait…don't tell me this place has become someone's private estate?"
While the sisters were still at a loss, the salty afternoon breeze swept across the sand.
Their arrival was like stones cast into a still pond, sending ripples through the gazes of Yukinoshita Yukino, Yuigahama Yui, and the others watching them.
Yuna clutched Asahi's sleeve and hid behind Yae, the three pairs of eyes nervously taking in the overly gorgeous scene.
"Excuse me…who might you be?"
Yukino stepped forward and spoke first.
Behind her, Yukinoshita Haruno idly nibbled an ice pop, mischievous eyes roaming over the sisters' plain summer clothes.
Yui cradled a bucket of freshly dug clams, her smile as sweet as melting cream.
"We…we just came to play on the beach," Yae said, gripping the brown amulet at her waist.
"Our mom used to bring us here, but today—"
"So many people!" Asahi blurted, only to have Yuna clap a hand over her mouth. "A‑and we didn't expect it to be this crowded."
Glancing nervously toward the villa, Yuna lowered her head.
"Has someone bought this place and made it private property? If so, we'll leave right away!"
Yukino frowned. Rei Ao had told her this beach was sealed off by magic—how had three girls appeared out of nowhere?
She was about to press the issue when Rei Ao's amused voice echoed in her mind:
"Relax, Yukino. I let them in. They used to come here."
"Let them in?"
Instinctively she looked up at the villa's second‑floor window; the half‑drawn curtain revealed a shifting shadow behind it.
Recalling Rei Ao's ever‑teasing, iridescent eyes, her tone cooled.
"Is that because this was originally their beach—or because they're pretty?"
A low chuckle answered in her mind, warm and impossible to argue with: "What do you think?"
"Anyway, Mai and I are having fun. Take good care of our 'new guests.'"
Before the words faded, Yukino caught the suppressed, rapid breathing that was uniquely Sakurajima Mai's.
Her cheeks flared crimson. She shot a glare at the villa and muttered "Shameless," then turned back to the sisters, composing herself.
"This isn't private property—you may stay."
"Really? But that villa just appeared out of nowhere…," Yuna ventured.
"It's only temporary," Yukino said.
Yuigahama Yui hurried to smooth things over. Ever the friendly one, she took Asahi's cool little hand.
"Since you've come to the beach, how about changing into swimsuits first? There's a dressing room inside."
Her enthusiasm left the three sisters unable to refuse.
…
When they followed Yukino into the villa, they were stunned by the opulence within.
The marble floor shone like a mirror; crystal chandeliers scattered rainbow halos; beautiful ornaments hung even at the far end of the corridor.
"This used to be nothing but rock outcrops," Yae murmured, fingertips brushing the cool wall.
…
After changing, they stepped outside again.
Yuna's pink bikini and Asahi's bunny one‑piece instantly drew the attention of Sakurajima Ai and the stylish Sayuri.
"Oh? A very nice look," Ai said, her sharp eyes spotting the trio's potential at a glance.
"Such adorable children~" Sayuri chirped, hopping over like an excited sparrow.
She tucked shell hairclips into Asahi's and Yuna's hair and handed Yae a mint‑laced iced drink.
Surrounded by the women's gently restrained, almost‑supernatural warmth, the sisters' tense shoulders gradually relaxed.
…
Meanwhile, on the villa's third floor, the panorama window reflected a scene that would make anyone blush.
Sakurajima Mai trembled against the cold glass.
"Have you set your sights on those shrine maidens again?" she panted, hair clinging to her sweaty cheeks.
"When you spoke to Yukino just now, your tone was so—"
Rei Ao nipped her earlobe, iridescent pupils darkening with pleasure.
"Not three—four."
"Four?" Mai blinked in confusion; only three newcomers were on the beach.
Rei Ao chuckled, sliding a hand over her delicate skin.
"Mai, now isn't the time for discussion. Focus. Right now I only want to savor you."
The salty sea breeze drifted in through the slightly open window, mingling with the warm atmosphere inside, dissolving Mai's unspoken questions.
Rei Ao gazed outside at the people frolicking in the sunset—
and the sunlight pierced the barrier of reality to settle on a faint, half‑hidden figure at the very edge of the beach.
