One afternoon, I was meeting with an unexpected person in the reception room.
[Fumu, as expected of good tea leaves, this is very tasty.]
Sitting in the seat opposite me, taking a sip of her tea with a smile, was Laguna-san, the Hydra Kingdom's King.
Incidentally, it's not unusual for Laguna-san to visit my house, and she does so at least once a month. However, when she comes to my house, her main purpose was basically to have a mock battle with Lilia-san, and after that, she comes to see me.
But today, she came directly to my house instead of going to Lilia-san's house first, which was unusual for her.
[Speaking of which, is your work today going to be alright?]
[Umu. Rather, my visit today is part of my work. That's why I was sent here to the reception room instead of your room, Kaito.]
This is unusual for Laguna-san, who tends to skip out on everything except meetings. Even so, this is part of her job? So, does that mean that this time, she's come to visit as the Hydra Kingdom's King?
But if that's the case, I still don't understand why she's visiting me instead of Lilia-san.
As I was thinking about this, Laguna-san, perhaps sensing my doubts, slightly smiled and began to talk about the main topic.
[It seemed like you were wondering why. However, you don't have to be that on guard. It's not like I've brought you any trouble…… Well then, going straight to my business, I'm here to "invite" you.]
[Invite?]
[Umu. A few years ago, there was a plan to build a new tourist attraction in the Hydra Kingdom. Well, to put it bluntly, it's a beach. It was supervised by me and the rest of the Mermaids, and with the wonderful scenery around the area, it makes a perfect spot for swimming. The beach will soon be open to the public, but before we do, I thought of inviting you, someone I'm friends with.]
[……I see.]
So, to sum it up, she's talking about a new beach, and she's inviting me to come to visit it……
[But well, that was the official stance! In reality, we also have our own ulterior motive!]
[……Official stance? Ulterior motive?]
[Umu. It was actually more of that, you know, trying to "put more weight" on what we're doing. The place I'm inviting you is a place I am confident in……. but well, we just wanted to add a sales pitch in our beach stating "Our beach has been visited by the Six Kings and the Supreme Gods".]
[……Is that really something you should proudly declare?]
[Ahh~~ I don't like going around in circles. In short, I'm offering you a private beach before it opens. In exchange, I'd like you to invite your lovers to come and play with you!]
How should I say this…… I really like this straightforwardness of Laguna-san. She doesn't try to make things complicated, so it's easier for me to accept her suggestions.
In fact, Laguna-san's suggestion isn't a bad one. The fact that she came to visit as a King, and went out of her way to say that she was reserving the beach for, I'm sure that we'll be able to enjoy ourselves and play without worry.
I haven't been to the beach since the last time I went with Shiro-san, so I'd certainly like to go again. I think it might be a good opportunity for me and my lovers to go together.
[Errr, I'll have to check everyone's schedules…… but since you've invited me, I thought of coming to visit.]
[Ohh, I see! That would be great. Well then, when you decide on a date you'd come to visit, contact me with a hummingbird and I'll be responsible for renting the beach for you.]
[Thank you very much.]
When I gave her my approval, Laguna-san became cheerful. Although she usually says she wants to quit being the King, for her to be happy to do what benefits her country, she really is quite the kingly person.
That being said, I'm still a guy, and the thought of swimming with my lovers excites me to no end. I'd really like to try splitting up a watermelon…… When I went to the beach with Shiro-san, she broke the sea apart along with the watermelon, so I'll be careful that that won't happen this time.
Now then, the most important thing to consider when making plans for swimming is the schedule of my lovers. We would have to plan our schedule accordingly. So, I decided to ask them about their plans and invite them to go swimming in turn.
In terms of location, the closest and easiest people to ask about their schedules are Lilia-san, Sieg-san and Anima but…… the quickest one I could go would be the Sanctuary, which I could reach through the gate magic tool in my room.
