"Why do you keep looking at me like that?"
Seeing Lumine staring at her, Wendy asked this quietly.
Although she knew roughly what Lumine was looking at, she still wanted to ask. She wanted to hear what Lumine herself would say.
"Uh... I just didn't expect that changing clothes would be so simple for you, Wendy."
Giving a slightly awkward smile, Lumine replied. She was indeed startled by Wendy's method of changing clothes.
It had to be said, this way of changing was truly fast, and also very convenient.
It seems Kaito doesn't even need to lift a finger usually...
Speaking of convenience, Lumine immediately imagined the scene of Kaito and Wendy doing that kind of thing.
It wasn't just convenient for Wendy herself; it was also very convenient for Kaito.
"It's a small matter."
In response to Lumine, Wendy replied casually.
Right...
Didn't Wendy like the swimsuit I'm wearing now?
Why didn't she conjure one up for herself?
Suddenly realizing this, Lumine became very curious.
So she asked, "Wendy, didn't you think the swimsuit I'm wearing is pretty nice? Why didn't you make one like this for yourself?"
Honestly, if Wendy hadn't shown that she liked it earlier, she definitely wouldn't have brought up anything related to this swimsuit on her own initiative.
She couldn't help it; she felt that doing so would keep everyone's attention on her swimsuit.
"Because of this."
Glancing at Lumine, Wendy placed both hands on her chest and spoke faintly.
Because of this?
At first, Lumine didn't realize the meaning behind Wendy's words.
But soon, she understood.
"I'm sorry, Wendy."
Realizing she had touched a sore spot, Lumine hurriedly apologized.
"It doesn't matter. If it's small, it's small. But if Big Sister Acheron were to wear it, I feel it would captivate Kaito completely."
Saying this, Wendy looked towards Kaito.
Speaking of Acheron...
Her figure is indeed really good...
And she is also very beautiful...
Hearing Wendy's words, Lumine agreed deeply.
It had to be said, Acheron's figure was simply perfect.
"This outfit of yours is also quite nice, Wendy."
Because Wendy had said something related to him, Kaito definitely had to respond.
Of course, he was just using this to express his satisfaction with this type of swimsuit.
"Is that so?" Wendy said faintly again, and then added, "Is there anything to eat? Like snacks or something."
Actually, this was just Kaito wanting to eat something. Since Wendy was there, he used her mouth to express this desire.
Anyway, whatever Wendy did was considered reasonable, so having Wendy speak for him was definitely not a mistake.
"Snacks?"
Looking at Kaito, Lumine didn't know if snacks were provided here.
"I'll go ask."
Saying that, Kaito stood up from the hot spring.
Actually, he had already seen a sign indicating that food was provided, so he was going out now to get some.
If we're eating?
Do we have to get out of the hot spring?
Watching Kaito walk out and close the door, Lumine couldn't help but worry as she thought this.
Because of the hot spring, she had spent most of the time hiding herself—wearing this swimsuit—under the water. If she had to leave the hot spring, she still wouldn't be used to it.
Or in other words, she would still feel a bit shy.
Although some time had passed since she appeared in front of Kaito wearing this, she had quickly entered the hot spring afterwards, essentially hiding herself.
Forget it...
I'll just eat while soaking in the hot spring later...
If there is anything to eat...
After thinking about it, Lumine decided that if there was food, she would eat while soaking and wouldn't stand up.
"Lumine."
"Huh? What is it?"
Suddenly hearing Wendy call her name, Lumine snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her.
Clearly, Wendy wanted to take advantage of Kaito's absence to tell her something inconvenient for Kaito to hear.
She isn't going to say I'm seducing Kaito or something, is she?
Looking at Wendy, Lumine thought this with great worry.
After all, the swimsuit she was wearing wasn't quite normal, so she worried Wendy might have such thoughts.
If that were really the case, it would be quite hard for her to explain.
...
How should I explain it?
I don't know if Wendy will listen to my explanation...
Although Wendy hadn't spoken yet, Lumine was already thinking about what to do if Wendy didn't listen to her explanation.
"I didn't expect you to be so bold."
Under Lumine's nervous gaze, Wendy smiled suddenly and said this.
"Huh? Why... do you say that?"
Not expecting Wendy to say something like this, Lumine froze for a moment. She couldn't figure out why Wendy would say that.
What's this situation?
Does 'bold' refer to me seducing Kaito or something?
After thinking it over, Lumine returned to her previous worry.
It's just that the expression on Wendy's face now told her that wasn't the case.
"I just didn't expect you to wear a swimsuit like this. I couldn't have imagined it at all."
Still smiling, Wendy looked at Lumine with a teasing tone.
Although Kaito's side already knew the situation, normally she wouldn't know. So saying something like this wasn't strange; on the contrary, it was very normal.
"Uh... I... I definitely don't wear swimsuits usually... so you couldn't see it..."
Blushing involuntarily, Lumine explained herself.
Although she knew this explanation definitely wouldn't convince Wendy, she had no choice. This lame explanation was all she could think of right now.
"Before this, I thought you would wear a swimsuit like the one I'm wearing now."
Wendy wasn't teasing with this sentence; she genuinely thought so. It was just that Lumine's behavior had clearly exceeded her expectations.
"Uh... Is that so?"
At this moment, Lumine was even more embarrassed, not even looking in Wendy's direction.
But actually, normally she would have indeed chosen a swimsuit like the one Wendy was wearing. It was only because of what Miko had said that she unprecedentedly chose this swimsuit.
Right...
How did I forget to use the excuse that this was the only swimsuit available?
At this moment, Lumine suddenly remembered she had forgotten to use that excuse.
But soon, she worried that if she said that, Wendy might notice something was off, and then she would be even more embarrassed.
Besides, if I said it and Wendy went to check, wouldn't I be exposed immediately...?
Forget it...
Let's just leave it at that...
