Cheat na Kaineko no Okage de Rakuraku Level Up

That day, it was Verdonna’s turn to prepare dinner.

“Heh heh heh… Tomatoes, now, let the blood spurt…”

Disturbing remarks could be heard from the kitchen, but she was just cutting tomatoes.

Well, I suppose I have to get used to this…
When Verdonna holds a knife, it’s like her assassin nature comes out.

Dinner turned out to be proper, with soups and stews, so all was good.
It was soup-heavy, but dunking bread in it was just fine.

“Oh, by the way, when I went out shopping today, they were handing out these flyers.”

It was written on a poor quality paper, typical for a flyer.

“A pool? There’s such a thing here? Oh, but the mage Hanna mentioned ‘pool’ too.”

“It’s not exactly a pool, but in the capital, there’s a huge spring pond. They open it up during the summer.”

Lena, who had probably lived in the capital longer than us, explained.

“I see. Do they have swimsuits in this world?”

To be frank, that’s what I’m most curious about.

You can’t swim naked, after all.

Well, I don’t mind swimming, but if Misha wants to swim, I’d absolutely stop her.
It might be selfish, but I absolutely don’t want other men seeing my wife naked.

“Swimsuits? If you mean water-repellent clothes, yes, we have those.”

“Water-repellent clothes?”

“It’s like underwear that’s been enchanted to repel water. Both men and women wear them for swimming around here.”

Ah, I see. Convenient.

“That sounds fun. Master, I want to go there.”

“Then we need to buy swimsuits.”

I’m not used to the term “water-repellent clothes,” so I end up saying “swimsuits.”

“Right. Of course, you’ll help me choose, Master.”

Eh, I’m going too…?
Honestly, even if it’s for Misha, it’s embarrassing.

“Alright… but let’s all go together…”

◇

So, the four of us went to a store that sold water-repellent clothes.

Frankly, it’s almost no different from a swimsuit section. Men’s are mostly trunks-type, and well, I don’t really care which one I get.

The problem is choosing for the ladies, especially Misha…

“Hmm… This country’s fashion is quite aggressive…”

The clothing generally covers less.

Bikini types seem to be the norm, and I think many should cover the chest area more securely.

“I can’t let Misha wear this… And this one, the backside is too exposed…”

“You’re right, it’s fine in front of you, Master, but other people will be swimming too…”

Misha and I were searching for something more modest.

“People here used to swim naked until about half a century ago. Maybe that’s why the water-repellent clothes have less fabric,” Verdonna explained.

“By the way, for beast people, you need a larger fabric for the backside to make a hole for the tail. The shop can make the hole for you.”

“I see. Well, let’s go for something a bit more modest.”

There were also options that covered almost the whole body, like school swimsuits.

“Misha, how about something like this?”

As her master, I don’t want to increase her exposure too much.

“Hmm… I understand your intention, Master, but it’s not very cute…”

True, it is rather plain.

“I’d rather wear something Master thinks is cute.”

That raises the bar.

I mean, Misha would look cute in anything, so it doesn’t really matter which one we choose.
But if I say that, Misha wouldn’t be satisfied.
I want to give a proper answer.

And then, I found a good one in the bikini section.

The chest part was designed to look a bit like a cat.

“This represents Misha’s character well, and the design itself is cute.”

“It might be a bit too childish and cute, but I’ll go with what Master likes. Thank you!”

And so, Misha’s swimsuit was decided.
All that was left was to go swimming.
