◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The beach was packed with people, which was a common sight during the traditional holiday of Obon.
Of course, for modern people, this holiday was no more than a long weekend.
And Miyuki’s family were just like that as well.
“Matsuda-kun.”
“What?”
I turned my head at the sound of Miyuki’s voice coming from behind me and was startled.
It wasn’t Miyuki standing there, but Kana.
“W-what the…?”
Her voice in the car was definitely different, but now it was exactly the same as Miyuki’s.
Looking at my shocked expression, Kana giggled and walked away.
Miyuki, who seemed fed up about not being able to stop Kana from her antics, approached me.
“My sister likes to play pranks… Sorry about that. She’s tricked Tetsuya many times with that.”
“Is your sister a voice actress or something?”
“No, but… she’s been like that since she was little.”
It seemed she had a more playful personality than Miyuki.
Well, if she could sound like her, could I have a threesome with two Miyukis?
That would be nice… Huh?
“Isn’t the sea beautiful? It feels so good…”
Miyuki closed her eyes, arms outstretched, feeling the sea breeze.
The headwind blew her T-shirt and skirt back, revealing her figure.
Her breasts were amazing, as always. Her slender waist, wide hips…
Especially the now slightly noticeable mound between her legs… She’s so goddamn hot!
“Matsuda-kun! Come have some watermelon with us!”
I quickly snapped out of it at Midori’s call and tapped Miyuki’s shoulder.
“Let’s go eat some watermelon.”
“Okay.”
I sat on a mat with Miyuki’s family on the beach, enjoying all sorts of food.
Tetsuya must have been somewhere nearby.
He was probably texting Miyuki constantly, but unfortunately for him, she hasn’t even looked at her phone once…
“Matsuda-kun, why are you being so quiet? Is it because you’re with my family? Just be yourself.”
She was simply too busy having fun teasing me.
I glanced at Miyuki, who was whispering in my ear, and discreetly moved my hand behind her, out of sight of others.
Then, I lightly pressed my hand against Miyuki’s back.
It was a gesture meant to tell her to stop.
Miyuki, sensing my intention, chuckled and stood up.
“Aren’t you going for a swim, Matsuda?”
“Now? I haven’t even digested my food…”
“You can do that while you play. Like you always do, Matsuda-kun.”
“Since when did I…”
“Anyway, if you’re not going to swim right now, do you mind watching our things for a moment? My sister and I are going to get changed.”
“Sure, go ahead.”
Miyuki grabbed her swimsuit and headed to the changing room with Kana.
Wataru clicked his tongue as he watched them walk away.
“That girl… so ill-mannered…”
“Miyuki seems more excited than usual. I’m sorry, Matsuda-kun. You go ahead and swim, okay?.”
At Midori’s apology, I shook my head with an exaggerated gesture.
“No, it’s fine. I wasn’t really planning on swimming. I just came here to chill and enjoy the sea breeze. I can stay here and watch our things. You two go ahead and have fun.”
“We didn’t come here to go in the water either. You seem to be the type to enjoy the scenery just like us, aren’t you, Matsuda-kun?”
“I wouldn’t say I particularly enjoy it… I just get bored being home alone on holidays…”
As I chatted with Wataru and Midori, I turned around when Miyuki and Kana came back after changing into their swimsuits.
They were both wearing ordinary beachwear.
Shorts that looked like a skirt, and long-sleeved zip-up outerwear.
I wanted to see Miyuki in a bikini, but it looks like she wasn’t very interested in showing off her body.
It seemed Kana was the same… Blood truly runs thick.
Still, it was nice to be able to get a glimpse of Miyuki’s snow-white thighs.
“Are you really not coming?”
Miyuki asked, bouncing a borrowed beach ball against my back.
I was so happy to see that she already seemed to be quite comfortable around me.
Go ahead and fool around all you want. You’ll be thanking me later, sobbing your heart out.
“I’m not going. If you’re going to play ball, make sure to stretch first.”
“I’ll naturally stretch while playing. I’m not planning on going into deep water, so it’s fine. We’ll be going then. Come find us if you get bored, okay?”
I knew she would ignore my warning.
Her lack of awareness was off the charts today.
Miyuki waved cheerfully and headed towards the sea with Kana.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
After excusing myself from Midori and Wataru, I started walking along the beach.
I wasn’t just walking aimlessly; the idea was to keep a distance where I could visually check on Miyuki and Kana, who were playing with the beach ball.
This beach had an area where the water suddenly became deep.
Lifeguards usually patrolled the area, preventing people from going there, but it was impossible for the limited number of lifeguards to watch over this entire vast beach and the countless people that visit it during this season.
The event would take place when the lifeguard was away. Kana would throw the ball a little too far out.
Miyuki would go to retrieve the ball, get a cramp in her leg, and fall into the deep water.
It was a dangerous event. From outside, it would look like she could even die.
However, that would never happen.
Even if I did nothing, a lifeguard would ultimately spot Miyuki before anything serious happened to her, and she would be saved.
And my affection points wouldn’t decrease for just standing by.
But of course, I wasn’t going to just stand by.
I was going to participate actively in this event in order to win Miyuki’s heart.
After making sure that the items I would need for the event were indeed scattered around, I wandered near Miyuki and Kana, pretending to stroll along the beach.
And Tetsuya… there he was in the distance.
He seemed to be taking a walk just like me. He would probably notice Miyuki after the event started.
It was almost time…
As I checked my watch and went over the image training I had done hundreds of times…
Splash!
“Ugh, Sis…! What are you doing…!”
I tensed up at the sound of Miyuki’s slightly annoyed voice in the distance.
It had started.
Miyuki was approaching the ball, which was being carried away by the gentle waves.
The people around them were busy playing, and Kana had taken her eyes off Miyuki to watch a seagull flying above the sea.
Tetsuya would notice Miyuki a little later and realize the seriousness of the situation when he saw her head facing back towards the shore…
But at this very moment, I was the only one watching her.
The ball was being swept away quite quickly, so Miyuki soon started swimming.
She swam towards the ball with an awkward freestyle stroke, her head disappearing under the water just as she almost reached it.
Her head bobbed up and down as she tried to keep afloat.
“Now!”
The moment I saw that, I grabbed a pink kiddie tube and life jacket that someone had left behind and sprinted with all my might.
“Huh!? Mommy!”
A child’s surprised cry came from behind me.
It seemed they noticed I was running off with their tube.
Don’t worry, kid… I’ll make it up to you later.
As the water reached my waist, the resistance slowed me down.
The closer I got to Miyuki, the bigger her pained expression became apparent as she struggled to keep her head above the surface.
Even though this was all for the sake of this event, I hated seeing Miyuki suffer like this.
I should have just played with them and saved her immediately when she fell in. It was a mistake to stay so far away.
I called out to Kana, who was looking around, with all my might.
“Kana! Kana!!”
Kana turned her head towards me.
“Huh…? What is it, Matsuda-kun?”
“Call a lifeguard!”
I pointed in Miyuki’s direction, threw the life jacket and tube ahead of me, and jumped into the water.
Splash!
I swam towards Miyuki with all my strength.
“Cough! Gasp…!”
Miyuki, who had swallowed seawater and was choking, looked at me as I approached.
A glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes, which had been filled with distress.
I barely managed to grab the edge of the drifting tube and, with all my focus, threw it towards her.
Thump! The tube landed right next to Miyuki.
Miyuki instinctively reached out and grabbed the tube.
It was a perfect throw. I could even win a national competition with something like this.
I grabbed the life jacket and swam closer to Miyuki, righting the tube that was about to flip over. I was about to ask if she was okay, but she grabbed my head instead of the tube and pulled me underwater.
Miyuki’s strength, fueled by survival instincts, was incredible.
I was unable to break free and surface.
To make matters worse, I had accidentally let go of the life jacket.
“Ah… Fuck.”
They say it’s dangerous to approach a drowning person directly, and this made me understand why.
I was too hasty in my approach.
I didn’t even have time to sneak in a feel for Miyuki’s huge boobs!
At this rate, I would drown before that.
I should have put on the life jacket before approaching her. I panicked after seeing Miyuki’s pained expression and made a stupid mistake.
I pushed against Miyuki’s hips with all my might, and thankfully, I was able to break free from her grasp.
I then grabbed hold of Miyuki’s legs, which were thrashing about, and wrapped my arms around her hips and back, lifting her up.
Miyuki’s body surfaced horizontally.
I could faintly see the life jacket floating near her in the water below.
Damn, my eyes stung like hell when I opened them underwater.
I guided Miyuki towards the life jacket, and her flailing arms managed to grab it.
After confirming that Miyuki’s cries had subsided somewhat, I held her up and waited.
I wanted her to put on the life jacket herself.
After a while, Miyuki finally calmed down by a lot, and I started feeling buoyancy from her body.
She must have managed to put on the life jacket.
Relieved, I slowly moved and emerged from behind Miyuki.
“Gasp!”
As I exhaled the breath I’d been holding, Miyuki, who was still coughing and spitting out water, reached back with her arm, aiming to grab my head.
Not this again… I understood she was scared, but trying to drag me down with her was too much.
I slapped Miyuki’s forehead hard with my hand.
Slap!
“Cough… Kyaah! Cough!”
Her coughs were mixed with a yelp. It was kind of funny.
Smack!
I flicked her forehead again with a mixture of worry and anger.
“Stay… cough… still, damn it… Are you trying to… kill me too? I’m going to… carry you back to shore… just stay put… okay?”
“Gasp… Cough…”
Miyuki, still spitting out seawater, nodded slightly.
She listens well after getting a couple slaps and smacks, doesn’t she? Looks like a little physical punishment was needed after all.
I held Miyuki’s armpits and slowly moved towards the shore.
Wait, wasn’t this the technique lifeguards used?
I had watched a lot of videos online just in case, but for it to come out naturally in such a pressing situation…
Protagonist powers were truly amazing.
We were soon rescued by a lifeguard who had rushed over after hearing Kana’s frantic cries.
Despite all the commotion, Miyuki’s condition wasn’t even close to a level 1 near-drowning experience.
Knowing this all too well, I turned my attention to our surroundings, leaving Miyuki coughing on the boat behind.
Perhaps because Kana made such a fuss, people were starting to gather around us.
Among them was Tetsuya, staring at the boat with a worried expression.
‘You useless bastard… you noticed Miyuki was drowning, but couldn’t do anything because of me, right?’
I inwardly scoffed at him and leaned back on the boat.
Miyuki, with teary eyes, crawled towards me, clutching at her throat.
‘Don’t tell me she’s trying to hug me?’
Just as I thought that,
“Cough!”
Miyuki coughed loudly, and water sprayed from her mouth, directly towards my face. But I instinctively moved my head away to the side.
The warm water grazed my ear.
My reflexes were amazing… Maybe I should really aim for athletic competitions at a national level.
Wait, wasn’t that supposed to be a reward?
Damn, I shouldn’t have dodged it…!
I smacked my lips in regret and lay down on the boat as the lifeguards nursed Miyuki.
And that was all as far as summer vacation events went.
Now it was time to enjoy the afterglow and wait for school to start.
