Noticing that her best friend was getting irritated, Yukiko offered the large coconut in her hand.
"Eri, calm down, calm down!" she said cheerfully. "Have a sip! Freshly opened, ice-cold coconut water—it's delicious!"
Eri, sprawled out on the lounge chair, accepted the coconut, raised it to her lips, and drank straight from the side pressed against her chest.
What a gift indeed!
The large coconut pressed up snugly against her chest, forming a perfect, bouncy curve. It fit just right, not slipping an inch.
Little Haibara, watching from the side, couldn't help but twitch at the sight. She glanced down at her own modest figure—flat as a board.
Really now… When will the antidote be ready?
Eri took a slow sip, letting the chilled coconut water cool her irritation.
For some reason, just seeing Kogoro again had made her blood boil.
But now… now she finally felt a little better.
However, just as she was starting to relax, her gaze drifted—and the sight before her made the corner of her mouth twitch.
Yukiko was coaxing Akashi into sharing a heart-shaped straw with her.
It was a ridiculous, overly romantic straw—two ends, one heart-shaped inlet.
The two of them were drinking coconut water from it, lips close, faces nearly touching.
Eri's eye twitched harder. Then, without a word, she stood up and pinched Yukiko's butt.
"Ow! What was that for?" Yukiko yelped, rubbing her backside.
"What are you doing?"
Yukiko answered innocently. "He's such a sweet, hardworking boy. How could I not share a sip with him?"
"Akashi, does your sister drink taste good? Is it sweet? Fragrant?" she teased, her voice dripping with mischief.
The more she spoke, the more excited Yukiko got.
Young Shota Akashi rolled his eyes at her.
This woman… Is she addicted to teasing me or something?
And what's with this greasy flirtation!?
Eri sat up with exasperated sighs. Her forehead pulsed with black lines of irritation.
"Enough, already! Look at yourself, Yukiko!"
But Yukiko just chuckled, completely ignoring her.
"Don't mind this old-fashioned hag, Akashi," she said with a wink. "Come, let sister help you put on some sunscreen~"
She placed the coconut down, uncapped the sunscreen lotion, and rubbed it between her palms until it warmed into a silky texture.
Then she turned toward Akashi with gleaming eyes.
Eri's expression froze.
"Hey! Akashi is mine! I'll put it on him—don't you dare!"
Without hesitation, Eri scooped Akashi into her arms like a protective hen guarding her chick.
But that move left her wide open.
Yukiko, grinning like a fox, got down on her knees and slid over with her hands still slick with lotion.
Eri raised a hand to stop her—but it was intercepted and pushed to the side.
She leaned back to dodge—but that made her even more vulnerable.
"You think you're the only one with lotion!?"
Eri grabbed the bottle, squirted a dollop into her hand, and flung it at Yukiko's face.
"Ahh!"
"Yada~!"
"Dahhh!"
Screams and squeals rang out as the two women launched into a ridiculous sunscreen war—splashing, smearing, attacking and dodging with childish glee.
Akashi sat helplessly in the middle, getting coated in lotion from every direction.
Duang! Duang! Duang!
The repeated slaps and smears made his face and hair slick.
This… This was the behavior of a succubus. A pair of demons!
On the side, little Haibara was frozen in place, eyes wide with disbelief.
These two aunties… they're crazy!
Playing around with sunscreen is one thing, but doing it with Akashi right there?
No. It felt more like… they were playing with Akashi.
"ENOUGH!"
Akashi finally slipped between Eri's long legs, stood up on the lounge chair, and shouted, his arms raised dramatically.
His entire body was slick. His Grasp of Immortality skill triggered instinctively.
Yukiko gasped in mock surprise. "Akashi! How could you strike such a bold pose in public?"
"Yeah!" Eri added, puffing out her cheeks.
But instead of stopping, the two women changed targets.
Four slippery hands lunged at the now-standing Akashi.
He didn't even last a second—he was immediately dragged back down.
The two mature women smirked, corners of their lips curling in mischievous delight.
They teamed up like wicked big sisters, bullying the poor shota who had no way to fight back.
Akashi screamed internally, Heaven, help me!
Meanwhile, Haibara watched with blue eyes trembling.
So angry!
But also… why do I want to join in?
She stood up, eyes gleaming, and silently crept forward.
In the chaos, she snuck in a few pinches—on Akashi's arms, waist, and even his soft little butt.
Satisfied, she giggled to herself.
When there are lots of people around… she's much braver.
Besides, who could resist teasing such an adorable little succubus?
Any girl who laid eyes on Akashi would want to mess with him!
And with this perfect storm of mischief—no one would blame her!
Back in my village, a group of older girls ganged up on me when I was weak… They took turns bullying me…
Akashi finally understood the pain behind that old tragic haiku.
Shameful! So shameful! Utterly shameful!
Even if he had the skill to ride a big horse, it meant nothing—they never let him get on!
His power hadn't doubled. He couldn't land a single counter!
[LV2 Hypnosis Cast – Hypnosis Failed!]
[LV2 Hypnosis Cast – Hypnosis Failed!]
[LV2 Hypnosis Cast – Hypnosis Successful!]
At last, among the three girls, one fell!
The troublemaker Yukiko—caught!
Her eyes glazed over as she stopped moving.
Then she began removing her belt.
Akashi quickly commanded, "Yukiko! Hold down Auntie Eri!"
The entranced Yukiko obeyed instantly—tackling Eri and pinning her to the chair.
Eri was caught off guard and completely overpowered.
Haibara, reaching out for another squeeze, froze mid-motion.
The next second, Akashi spun, grabbed her wrist, and threw her down!
He began spanking her with quick, precise slaps.
In a flash, the tables turned.
The bullied little shota had become the tyrant!
With Haibara pinned and Eri restrained, Akashi even freed up his right hand to spank Eri's butt as well.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each slap landed with a sharp sound. His passive ability triggered.
Critical hits!
Eri's face turned scarlet.
"Damn it, Akashi! How could you spank your Auntie?!"
The fire in her eyes startled Akashi.
Afraid he'd taken it too far, he yelped, "Let's go!" and bolted.
Yukiko released Eri and ran after him.
Eri staggered to her feet, too dazed to give chase.
She looked over at the disheveled Haibara and sighed, shaking her head.
Still, after all that nonsense, her sour mood had lifted.
She picked Haibara up and headed toward the sea.
Her whole body was sticky from the lotion.
Only a refreshing dip in the ocean could save her now.
