Under the warm light, the two women in swimsuits stood with elegance. Their fair, slender legs seemed almost translucent, perfectly proportioned and alluring.
Akashi, caught off guard, couldn't help but stare. The sight of four stunning legs together was enough to dazzle anyone.
Eri chuckled softly as she noticed Akashi still in his casual clothes.
"Akashi, why haven't you changed yet?" she asked, teasing. "Do you need Auntie to help you change?"
Yukiko approached with a playful grin.
"Big Sister can help you~"
The two women were like fairies descended from heaven.
Flustered, Akashi quickly shook his head.
"No, no need! I can do it myself!"
With that, the little Shota picked up his swimming trunks and tossed them onto the bed. Pulling the thin quilt over himself, he changed underneath it like a proper gentleman.
Yukiko couldn't resist teasing.
"My, so shy for someone your age! It's not like we haven't seen it before."
Eri's fox-like eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"Yukiko... when exactly did you see Akashi like that?"
"..."
Yukiko stiffened, realizing her slip.
"Haha! I was just teasing him! You actually believed me?"
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead—this superstar was suddenly sweating bullets.
Eri wasn't so easily convinced. She looked at Yukiko doubtfully. She knew very well just how charming her Akashi was.
Yukiko had wealth, connections, and more real estate than anyone could count. Yet she always came over to eat and sleep. Could it really just be about food?
No… it had to be because of Akashi!
The more she thought about it, the more certain she became.
Just then, a yelp came from under the quilt.
"Ouch!"
Both women rushed over, concerned.
"Akashi, what's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"The swimming trunks I bought are too tight," Akashi groaned, peeking out. "They're stuck. Really uncomfortable…"
He threw off the quilt, revealing the truth—indeed, the trunks were far too small. It had been a struggle to even get them on.
"..."
The two women froze, faces instantly flushed.
Vermouth was right—Akashi might have taken a fake version of the APTX. While his body had shrunk into that of a child, one particular thing hadn't changed.
Their eyes met briefly, and both quickly looked away, panicking.
Eri cleared her throat and quickly stood up.
"I'll go buy a bigger size," she said, slipping on a coat and heading out.
Yukiko burst into laughter behind her.
"As expected of a little succubus—what a monster," she said with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
With no one else around, Yukiko suddenly made her move, grinning wickedly as she leaned in to tease Akashi.
"Hey now!" Akashi flinched. "Are you playing with fire?"
Yukiko's blue eyes widened, innocence and mischief blending together in a look that was both pure and deadly charming.
"Playing? Who, me?" she replied with exaggerated innocence. "You pretended to sleep last night and completely ignored me. Now sister's very angry—and trust me, the consequences will be serious."
Danger!
Akashi sensed the storm coming. Just as things got heated, the bathroom door creaked open.
Yukiko immediately stood up straight, tossing the quilt over Akashi.
Little Loli Haibara walked out, tilting her head curiously as a question mark practically floated above it.
Yukiko smiled smoothly.
"Akashi's trunks didn't fit. Eri went to get a bigger pair. Let's wait a bit, okay?"
"Mm," Haibara muttered with a nod, choosing not to pry.
Soon after, Eri returned with a larger pair of swimming trunks. Akashi slipped them on—now reaching his knees. Finally, something that fits comfortably.
Once everyone had changed, they threw on coats and stepped out of the hotel, heading toward the beach.
The moment their feet touched the soft white sand, a wave of comfort washed over them. The sun beamed down fiercely, its warmth sinking into their skin.
Yukiko was the first to run off toward the beach house's restaurant to order food. She then pointed toward the beach chairs, instructing the staff to bring their meals there.
Meanwhile, Eri held hands with Haibara and Akashi, guiding them toward a lounge chair under a large sun umbrella.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she sighed.
"I didn't expect the afternoon sun to be this harsh. I forgot sunscreen. What a miscalculation."
Digging into her backpack, she handed the bottle to Akashi.
"Akashi, help Auntie put on sunscreen, will you?"
Haibara squinted at them, narrowing her blue eyes.
"It's easy," Eri added, smiling. "Just like applying shower gel during a bath."
Haibara's eyes flew wide open.
Shower gel? Bath? Together?
When did that happen?!
Why don't I know this?!
Her sharp gaze now locked onto Akashi. It was the classic scum detection stare.
Akashi sensed danger. He couldn't let her go on the offensive.
He quickly pushed Haibara onto a nearby beach chair.
"You both lie down. I'll help you apply it together."
Eri nodded, and gently coaxed the reluctant little loli.
"Ai-chan, sunscreen is important. Otherwise, when we go back to the hotel, your skin will have two different shades."
With that, she hugged Haibara and laid down beside her.
Eri's initiative caught Haibara off guard—she had no chance to resist.
Then Akashi got to work.
His little hands, coated in sunscreen oil, began gliding over their calves. One was smooth and graceful, the other firm and springy.
Big or small, both were top-tier jailers—and their favorite inmate was Akashi himself.
He delivered his best, even using Lv1『Pleasurable Massage』 without hesitation.
『Pleasurable Massage』 Lv1: The host's hands possess a magical touch. By targeting specific acupuncture points, the host can induce a euphoric healing experience, capable of alleviating injuries and stress. 』
Haibara could only remain speechless.
There was no denying it—the hands that applied sunscreen were indeed Akashi's divine weapons.
Her cheeks flushed pink. She shut her eyes, trying to endure the gentle yet ticklish sensation.
Everything else—the beach, the waves, the chatter—faded into silence.
In that moment, only that small hand seemed to exist in her world.
As for the two women?
Of course, they could've applied sunscreen on each other.
But now that things have come this far… naturally no one will care about this.
