“I can’t reach my back… So please apply it.”

Having been pleaded so by Arisa, Yuzuru nodded his head.

“All right.”

“…Thank you very much”

Arisa also nodded.

Then…

“E-err… Yuzuru-san.”

“Um… what’s up?”

“I-I can’t take it off.”

Suddenly Arisa made such a remark.

Initially, Yuzuru’s thoughts were like ‘Did you get embarrassed after coming here?‘, but…

“Umm… Can I rely on you for that please?”

Arisa gave me an upward glance, and then he finally realized it.

She wanted Yuzuru to undress her.

“Y-you… have become much more daring.”

Naturally, Yuzuru’s gaze went to Arisa’s figure.

Perhaps because the rash guard was a bit long, it hid even the lower half of her swimsuit well.

However, it did not cover her long white legs and thighs.

As for her upper body, it remained completely hidden…

However, the large, full breasts indicated that there existed a bountiful fruit there.

Underneath the rash guard lay Arisa’s beautiful physique.

Of course, she was not completely naked because she was wearing a swimsuit…

“I-I don’t know what you are talking about.”

In response to Yuzuru’s muttering, Arisa looked away in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Yuzuru slowly approached Arisa.

“Then, I’ll be taking it off.”

“…yes.”

Yuzuru plucked the zipper of the rash guard that Arisa was wearing.

Then, slowly, he pulled it down.

The first thing he saw was her collarbone.

Next came her beautiful white décolleté.

The big fruit wrapped in the swimsuit was released.

Then, her slender stomach and lovely navel.

And finally, the triangle of fabric.

“…um, all the way please.”

“Ah.”

Yuzuru nodded and removed the rash guard from her shoulders.

Arisa’s shoulders were small and white… and faintly red.

“Um, Yuzuru-san…”

Arisa put her arms behind her back and glanced up at him.

“It looks good on you. You look beautiful.”

“…In what way?”

“…Sexy, I guess?”

This time, Arisa’s swimsuit was a red triangle bikini.

It was a simple design, with nothing to hide her body like lace, only small bows.

It was a tie-side bikini, which fell under the category of so-called string bikinis… and had a slightly smaller area of coverage.

It was quite aggressive for Arisa.

The red bikini accentuated her white skin and made her look more glamorous.

Sexy seemed to be the most appropriate word to describe it.

“S-stop it, please. Saying something like that…”

Arisa hid her body with her hands, a little embarrassed.

Her face was as flushed as her bikini, but she did not seem to dislike it.

Rather, she looked happy.

“…I’ve been thinking about it for a while now.”

“…what?”

“Your taste in clothes is there …quite bold.”

Red this time, black before.

Both were bikinis, which were bold and contrary to Arisa’s normal personality.

Not only in swimsuits, surprisingly… She seemed to often wear plain clothes that accentuated her figure.

“P-please stop… talking like that… It makes it sound like I have a hobby of that sort.”

“Is it not so?”

“No, it’s not!”

When Yuzuru jokingly asked back, Arisa retorted in a slightly angry tone.

“It’s just that… I think that this kind of thing would look …better on me.”

“Well, sure. In your case… stuff that is more beautiful type than cute and more mature type than childish would look better on you.”

To begin with, Arisa had wonderful proportions.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of that.

“But you know… Don’t you sometimes think it’s a little nice to be seen…?”

Yuzuru also sometimes does muscle training… and he doesn’t feel bad about being seen and considered “Great” by others regarding what he worked hard for.

Arisa was a girl, so her senses may be completely different from those of Yuzuru, who was a boy…

Do you not feel in any way superior, at least a little bit? Yuzuru asked Arisa.

“N-no way! …It’s just embarrassing.”

“If so…”

“I brought a pareo with me this time… I’m only showing this to Yuzuru-san.”

“That’s good to know.”

Yuzuru was slightly relieved.

He felt that the area this swimsuit covered might be smaller than the “standard” area.

In particular, the part of the swimsuit that covered the lower half of the body was even more conspicuous.

Are you going to show this kind of appearance – even if it’s a friend – to another man?

…was not at all what he had in mind inwardly.

“Wear a rash guard on top, please.”

“Y-yes… if Ayaka-san and Chiharu-san allow me to do so.”

Yuzuru laughed bitterly, thinking that those two certainly seem to be fussy.

Nevertheless, there was still room for negotiation.

Later, he could suggest that the group be divided into men and women.

There was no problem for women to show each other.

Though it was unsure how Arisa felt about that.

“By the way… Arisa. How do you feel about… being seen by me?”

“Eh?”

When Yuzuru asked her, Arisa raised her voice.

“Can I not …say it?”`

“Nope.”

Yuzuru then closed the distance between him and Arisa.

Then he grabbed Arisa’s small shoulders.

Perhaps embarrassed at close range, Arisa alternately looked at Yuzuru’s lower body, chest plate, and face several times.

“I-it’s embarrassing to be seen by Yuzuru-san as well… but…”

“But…?”

“I’m happy as well. C-can I not say… m-more than that?”

Arisa implored Yuzuru as if she were pleading for leniency.

Yuzuru was tempted to be mean to her when she said it that way… but he didn’t want to tease her too much and make her sulk.

“I see. Great job… for being so honest.”

Yuzuru then patted Arisa’s head.

For a moment, Arisa squinted her eyes comfortably, but… she immediately looked up at Yuzuru with a huff.

Then she glared at him with a stern look.

“You’re looking down on me… aren’t you?”

Arisa looked a little angry.

Yuzuru couldn’t help but smile.

“Arisa.”

“Eh, hey…”

Yuzuru gently pulled Arisa towards him and…

Slowly, he brought his lips close to her.

Arisa closed her eyes and lifted her chin. 

She was asking him to kiss her lips.

And Yuzuru’s lips fell lightly on Arisa’s forehead.

“Ah…”

Arisa’s voice sounded happy and a little disappointed.

“Would you have preferred lips?”

“…Nothing like that”

Perhaps out of embarrassment, Arisa turned her cheek away.

Yuzuru lightly poked her cheek with his finger.

“…Now then, Arisa.”

“…what is it?”

Yuzuru said to Arisa, who looked as if she was implying ‘I’m in a bad mood, you know?‘

“It’s about time… Shall we start applying?”

Arisa’s eyes widened at Yuzuru’s words…

And her face instantly turned bright red.
