Date A Cruise Case 3: Pool
They also spent time at the heated swimming pool inside the ship.
There was warm sunshine and the gentle sound of water. Mukuro was excited to play in the water. Kurumi was content to relax on a beach chair. Maria was splashing water in the pool—
“—Hey, isn’t this a bit weird?!”
The scene appearing before her gave Nia defied her common sense as she bounced like an overcharged doll.
“Mun? What’s wrong, Nia?”
“Ara ara, what’s the matter?”
“What a noisy person. Please show a measure of maturity that is consistent with your age. No matter how long you’ve lived, if you can’t behave maturely, you can’t call yourself an adult. You have the appearance of an adult and the mind of a child at best.”
“Did you have to say all that?! Eh?! Why is Mariamon here?! Is there something wrong with this series?! You don’t have a body, do you?!”
“Please don’t make such a transcendental remark. Admire the work put into the world a little more.”
“I don’t want to hear that from the most chaotic person?!”
After Nia shouted, Maria could only shrug helplessly.
“There’s no helping it. Let me tell you the truth. In fact, this luxury cruise ship is actually a datascape that I created.”
“Wh-What?! …Wait, who would believe such a thing! There has to be a limit to this setting!”
“Hehe…Then understand this: optimism. The unique homogenous phenomenon in the datascape allows the water to dissolve swimsuits. Observe.”
“Rgh! I’ll kill you!”
“I am lying to you, of course.”
“…Liar!”
“In other words, the water that Maria-san splashed just now was not cold at all.”
Kurumi said, then Maria clapped her hands.
“Unlike Nia, it’s great to see that you’re good at observation, Kurumi. It’s frustrating that I can’t participate, so I made a stereoscopic image. If there’s anything that dissolves in the water, it will not be aimed at you, Nia. I am sensitive to your needs.”
“What do you mean—!”
Hearing what Maria said, Nia jumped into the pool in a posture similar to a belly flop.
Instantly, Maria disappeared and Nia’s stomach slammed into the water, making a painful sound.
