Swimsuit Witness

Blue sky, and white sea.

And.

“What’s wrong, Hermes?”

Maximum skin tone within a healthy frame.

Nee-san, who’s wearing a revealing swimsuit, looks up at me with a curious look on her face.

“We’ve come to the sea at great pains. Why don’t you relax and enjoy yourself more?”

“Why did you take me here?”

“Hermes. There are things in this world that you don’t need to know, and there are things that you’ll be happier not knowing――”

“As I thought, what did you do to me, nee-san!”

I tried to cover nee-san’s words and said that all at once.

What I remember was until last night when I went to bed in the mansion.

But when I woke up in the morning, I found myself lying on a beach chair on a sandy beach wearing a swimsuit, pants and all.

It’s also confusing, but it’s one of those things that you have no choice but to quip.

“Since Hermes will very much throw a tantrum, I forced you to come with me against your will”

“Speak clearly!”

“I’ve already brought you here.”

Nee-san smiled at me.

It’s frustrating, but nee-san’s smile, when she’s scheming, is really attractive and beautiful.

It was enticing ―― not that I was.

Just as nee-san said, I’ve already been brought here.

I resigned myself.

I sighed and asked nee-san with a serious face.

“I understand, so please explain properly.”

“Got it. This sandy beach belongs to the domain of the Canoe family. It is also a famous resort area. Every summer, many tourists flock here.”

“Fumu”

“It’s only during the summer, but it generates a ridiculously large amount of tax revenue. However.”

Nee-san who had been explaining the situation made a big smile, but I knew without being told from here on that this was where the point would be.

“While the temperature drops and we can’t get into the ocean, the monsters here grow.”

“Monster?”

My eyebrows jumped in surprise.

“Yeah. From autumn of the previous year to early summer of the next year ―― before the sea opens. Since humans don’t enter the sea, monsters grow quickly during that time. Therefore, it’s a tradition that before the sea opens, the Canoe family would come to clean out the monsters that grew up that year, taking responsibility for them.”

“It’s like plowing a field.”

“As expected of Hermes, you understand quickly.”

Nee-san smilingly spoke so, and I sighed even more.

“Then I think I can understand it faster. You’re telling me to defeat all those monsters, right”

“Yes”

“Haa…… You only smile nicely at times like this, nee-san.”

I sighed even more, and my shoulders slumped in dejection.

“It’s all right, Hermes.”

“What is?”

“Since this is Hermes whom I was talking about, I guess you’re thinking I don’t want to get serious, but. It’s fine”

“Heh?”

“We clean it every year, so strong monsters don’t grow. They have never grown before.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes. I swear on father’s honor.”

“Is that so…… wait, I hope that father’s honor you’re talking about is not me.”

“Like I said, I swear.”

“Muh……”

I was at a loss for words.

It was because nee-san had an uncharacteristically serious expression.

In honor of her father.

My honor.

It tickled me to have her do that to me, but I understood that nee-san was serious.

“Haa……I understand”

From my experience, I know that when it comes to this point, I can’t say no.

I let out a sigh of resignation.

“Thank you Hermes. I don’t know what to say as compensation, but …… I’ve prepared something.”

“Prepared?”

“Eh”

Nee-san smiled and clapped her hands like the action she uses to call a servant.

Then, beautiful women in swimsuits came from behind her.

“Wha,what is this”

“They are the elite of HHM48, you know. I especially brought the girls who look good in their swimsuits.”

HHM48.

It was “Hermes Harem Maid Forty-Eight”, according to nee-san.

As my harem, she has gathered a large number of beautiful women, and by having them compete with each other, I can further refine them as “flowers”, a group that ordinary men can only dream of.

There were roughly 20 or so beautiful women in swimsuits who came.

I guess it’s true what nee-san was saying, she has chosen girls who look good in swimsuits.

“That’s all well and good, but …… nee-san.”

“What’s wrong?”

“The girls around there, why are their names on the chest of their swimsuits? Moreover…… the 『Maria』 and the like, their writing is strange.”

“This is a tradition left behind by the first head of the Hermes family, the one who thought of it. I heard that the official etiquette was wearing 『a school swimsuit with a hiragana nametag』, you know?”

“I don’t know about you, but I could tell that the guy who had done that was definitely a pervert.”

Anyone with that kind of obsession is a pervert, no doubt about it.

“Hermes-sama, come here.”

“Please make yourself at home until the monsters appear.”

“May I offer you something to drink?”

The HHM48 swimsuit squad came in droves, pampered me, and pushed on my back with my arms crossed.

“Mumu”

Honestly…… it’s not bad.

Everywhere is soft, and I won’t say anything, but the ones that hit me are big.

It’s my harem, so everyone pampers me well.

I decided to come to a clean decision and be pampered.

Or rather, if I break it down, it’s very similar to my ideal life.

Lying down on a beach chair, and while being massaged, opening my mouth and a piece of fruit will be brought to my mouth.

It’s a laid-back life where I don’t have to do anything.

With that, I decided to let go and relax.

“Uhhm…… Hermes-sama, could you please apply some oil on me?”

“Me, too, please.”

Some of the young girls have pleaded for it.

Most of the girls have blushed cheeks and are embarrassed, some of them have already removed their swimsuit tops and covered them with their hands.

I was getting a little turned on.

Okay, let’s do it…… When I thought so.

“It’s here, it came out!”

Another girl in a swimsuit came running from the sea.

That girl ran over to me and reported it while gasping for air.

“A,a monster appeared”

“Where?”

“O,over there”

The girl points in the direction she ran away from.

Bouncing on the sea, a bivalve shellfish was coming toward us.

“What a lively shellfish.”

I smiled wryly.

It is about the same size as a human head, but despite being a shellfish, it moves extremely actively.

As it approached, I went in the opposite direction.

It stopped at the edge of the beach, took one last big leap, opened its shell (mouth), and I jumped at it with my hand sword on the counter.

The hand sword I swung directly from above easily sliced the shellfish monster in two.

“I see. Weak.”

I knew from the response that what nee-san said was the truth.

In terms of physical strength, they are about 70% to 80% as strong as regular soldiers.

If it’s a monster of this caliber, my reputation won’t go up even if I defeat it.

That’s what I thought until then.

“It’s here again, Hermes-sama”

“……You conspired this, nee-san.”

I turned around and lightly glared at nee-san behind me with white eyes.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

As usual, nee-san became dumbfounded.

“I didn’t lie, not one bit.”

“……”

“I said it was cleaning up weak monsters. Is there something wrong with that?”

“There are way too many!”

I quipped in a grand manner.

I held my hand out towards the ocean.

A huge number of monsters, so many that they covered the sea, came rushing toward the beach all at once.

“What the hell is this! Aren’t the monsters comprised 70% and the sea just 30% of the area? Isn’t that too much!”

“Without humans, they grow up quickly.”

“There are limits!”

“Now, good luck, Hermes. I know you can do it.”

“……Good grief”

I let out a sigh.

I was completely set up by my sister.

On top of that…… there are too many witnesses.

“So we get to see the Hermes-sama in action.”

“I wonder how he will defeat it.”

“I’m excited”

In swimsuits…… all of the HHM48 girls are staring at me with expectant eyes.

You brought them in as complete eyewitnesses, didn’t you, nee-san.

At this point, there is no reason for me not to do it.

In front of the young girls in swimsuits, I ended up wiping out thousands of sea monsters by myself.
