I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1810: Sea Bathing with Anima ⑦

Chapter 1810: Sea Bathing with Anima ⑦

We headed out to sea on a large rubber boat. The boat is equipped with oars, so there’s no need to worry about moving around. Incidentally, I entrusted the oars to Anima this time without any pretense.
I have been on a boat with Olivia-san before, so I do have experience in rowing a boat, but I don’t know if I can row a boat in the same way in the wavy sea. Moreover, there’s a fundamental difference in strength between me and Anima.
[Anima, I’m sorry for entrusting the oars to you.]
[No, I’m rather glad that Master is relying on me! Besides, this level of work is not at all burdensome, so there’s no problem.]
From Anima’s perspective, it seemed like she was moving the oars lightly, and the resistance from the waves didn’t seem to affect her at all. Rather, it seems like Anima is happy about the fact that I entrusted the oars to her, as she has a cheerful smile on her lips.
However, facing Anima directly like this, it feels a bit awkward trying to find where to look. Being faced with Anima in her swimsuit right in front of me, it’s hard to avoid my gaze turning towards strange places.
Anima’s swimsuit, with its design resembling hot pants, might have been a good choice after all.
[We’re already pretty far out to sea. Hmmm, the breeze feels good.]
[The weather is certainly nice and the sunlight isn’t too strong, making it a pleasant climate. By the way, Master, where shall we move to?]
[Ahh, you can stop when we get out to the sea to some extent. I mean, the original purpose of the trip was to relax on the boat, swaying in the waves.]
[I see…… Well then, I’ll stop in this area.]
If we consider only our original purpose, there wasn’t really a need to go out to sea, but I suppose it adds to the overall atmosphere. No, even so, the wind feels refreshing, and the sea surface seems to sparkle beautifully. The water’s transparency is quite something, and I can even occasionally see fish swimming.
How should I say this…… This place really feels like a nice tropical resort.
[Since we have a largish boat, why don’t we lay out on it?]
[Certainly, with a boat this size, you might be able to lay down. Well then, please leave controlling the boat to me, and Master could take it easy……]
[No, when I said “we”, I mean the two of us lying down together.]
[……I- I see, that may indeed be a more natural course of action…… T- That said, this boat is a little cramped for the two of us to lie down together, so I have a feeling that we’d be glued to each other…… Ahh, no, it’s a little late for that now since we were much closer in the morning huh.]
[That is, well, true.]
Even though I say it’s largish, it’s not the size of a lifeboat or anything like that. It’s about the size of a two-seater, and in terms of width, it’s slightly narrower than a regular bed, so if the two of us lie down side by side, it seems like we’d be snugly close to each other.
[Of course, I won’t force you or anything like that…….]
[No, I hadn’t anticipated that, so I do feel a bit embarrassed, but I would say Master’s suggestion makes me happy, as just imagining that scene in my mind right now makes me feel blessed……]
[Shall we lie down together then?]
[……Yes.]
This is just my hunch, but after that incident in the morning…… or perhaps, since yesterday’s bath, Anima seems to have opened up, her thoughts changing to some extent.
I can feel that she isn’t being reserved as my servant, but trying to communicate her desires and emotions honestly to a certain extent as my lover.
Even now, even though she’s feeling embarrassed, she’s honestly expressing her desire to lie down with me, which makes things very easy for me as well.
Anyhow, with Anima’s agreement, we lay down on the boat together. Also, while I may seem at ease in front of Anima, I’m actually quite nervous too.
[I- I wonder why? The distance between us should be further than when we were sleeping together in the morning, but perhaps because we are both wearing swimsuits, I feel strangely nervous.]
[Ahaha, that’s true…… I’m also feeling quite nervous.]
[Master is also feeling nervous?]
[Unnn. I’m trying to stay calm in front of Anima, but you’re just so beautiful and charming, so in a situation like this, where we are looking at each other up close, my heart would obviously be beating really fast.]
[Ahh…… I- I see.]
Upon hearing my sincere words, Anima’s eyes widened in surprise, before she shyly blushed, but I could see a hint of joy in her smile.
[I’m glad Master feels that way…… Although I’m feeling embarrassed…… errr, how about we get closer?]
[I suppose so. Maybe that would balance things out better……]
[W- Well then, if you’ll excuse me.]
With determination in mind, Anima assertively approached me after obtaining my approval, gently snuggling up to me. As our bodies touched in a way that felt completely different from when we were embracing on the bed, I couldn’t help blushing, but as if it was arranged beforehand, we instinctively gently embraced each other.
No words were exchanged between us, but it felt both ticklish and blissful, and the sensation of our slightly damp skin touching each other felt strangely pleasant. Feeling the boat slightly bobbing in the waves, enveloped in a peaceful silence…… we enjoyed a moment of bliss for a while.

Makina : [Hmm~~ Pop pop candies and chocolates really are a perfect match!]
? ? ? : [I have a question. After Makina finished eating, well, all of her, where does Serious-senpai come back from?]
Makina : [Doesn’t she just spawn from over there?]
? ? ? : [Hearing you say that makes me just wanna go “I see, understandable”, but I kinda don’t really like that explanation. I mean, seriously, what the heck is she……]
