''Hm...''
Lying blankly on the hotel's bed, I hold the cosmic seed under the lamp and stare at it. Even when competing directly with the lamp light this close, the stars never lose.
It's beautiful, yet I still don't know what it is.
''Hah...''
Well, let's put this aside for now.
''...''
In the end, we decide to move on without confirming Kyrie's success. However, we have hope that she can do it. Comrade, I wish you luck...!
Either way, it has been a few days of us wandering around Ranka. Seeing the difference between culture to culture is certainly something I didn't know I needed, especially when I have not set foot out of my city back on Earth.
Besides, traveling with my party is just fun. They can make even the most boring places exciting, although this sure has its limits. I think we have toured through almost every notable spot in this region.
I think it's time to move on.
With that in mind, a final stopping point has been established among us before we move on to another region entirely.
The beach.
I've never been to a beach before, even in this world. To experience the cold salt water enveloping my body is always one of my dream, and fortunately, Ranka does border the one big ocean.
Just like that, we immediately begin to head north to the port town of Vocaln. Within hours, we successfully registered a hotel room and a private part of the long beach. The fee is quite hefty for a mere day, but it’s fine. We’re all rich, after all.
‘’Hm~ Hm~’’
‘’Are you that excited?’’
While moving to the beach, Anna asks curiously. Apparently, she has been to the beach many times during her time in the church.
''Of course I am!'' I reply. ''It's my first time, after all.''Findd new stories at novelhall.com
''I see.''
''More importantly, I want to see your swimsuit.'' Liana interjects with a pouty face. ''What is it that you have to hide this much? A micro-bikini?''

"Want to sweat a bit before going down the water?" Tina holds up a volleyball cutely.
Literally, everybody besides me is an athletic freak, so the matter is decided within seconds. And needless to say...
BOOM—! BOOM—! BOOM—!
"Hi...!"
On the field, the ball is thrown around with supersonic speed, a series of explosion in the air akin to a bombing exercise runs rampant.
Therefore, I, being the frail elf that I am, just kinda stand in place and let my teammates-Liana and Emy-do the work.
Still, every time I move my body to try and catch the ball, my opponents get distracted by the jiggles, so I'm not totally useless!
In the end, the matches end in a stalemate. If only I can move better...
"Hah... Well, let's go straight to the ocean!"
As soon as I dip my feet into the cold body of water, a refreshing sensation spreads all over my body. The more I submerge myself, the more I am enveloped by that addicting feeling, the one turning my body into a mesh of a melting elf.
For the first time in my life...
''Hah...''
''Are you feeling good, my princess?''
Seizing the opportunity, Tina wraps her arms around my waist from behind, giving my back that incredible, soft push. Being the flirty princess that she is, Tina gently places shallow kisses on my neck, forcing something immoral out of my mind.
gulp—!
Just in time, I am thinking about doing it in this water...
''Yeah, I am.'' I reply, putting my hands on hers. ''But I wanna feel even better...''
As Tina and I look at each other, I can feel her melting gaze toward the very depth of my being, as if she wants to devour me whole. When we naturally and inevitably close our gap for a passionate kiss, the waves around us suddenly get much stronger.
Below, the water gradually turns darker, casting a huge shadow on the surface.
This pattern... I know it!
A Kraken...!!
