Whoosh, since they were all so open, there was no point in him holding back.
He might as well take off his camouflage uniform and hang it up to dry, including his shoes. Only by taking them off would they dry faster.
No wonder Irisviel had come back carrying long branches earlier. They had obviously planned to take off their clothes and hang them up to dry.
Looking at their perfect, fair figures, Kaito boldly began to enjoy the view.
Except for a few who wore more conservative swimsuits, the rest wore relatively normal ones.
Kie, probably due to the era, wore the most plain cloth outfit, hardly qualified as a swimsuit.
Men like looking at beautiful women, that's a fact. But women also like looking at handsome men.
While Kaito was appreciating them, they were also appreciating Kaito in his swim trunks.
Among them, Misuzu, Shodai, and Sayuri were the most obvious.
Seeing Kaito's perfect physique, their eyes went straight.
Kaito was similar, especially when looking at Irisviel, Sephie, and Tearju, his eyes also went straight.
More than that is not convenient to say, for fear of being banned.
Let's just say those who understand, understand. If you don't, don't ask. The implications are too vast...
"Ahem, how about I build a wall? You all need to take out the underwear under your swimsuits to dry, right?"
Perhaps already accepting the situation, despite being embarrassed, the ladies calmed down and sat around the campfire to warm up. However, a few individuals still felt uncomfortable.
Noticing this, Kaito proactively stood up, then used his ability to build a stone wall, allowing them to take off their underwear. Kaito did the same.
After all, wet clothes really are uncomfortable.
"Kaito-san, you've been a great help."
Sephie was the first to change. She also praised Kaito's behavior.
With only one man here, not only was he uncomfortable, but they were also very shy inside. Fortunately, after some self-suggestion, everyone gradually adapted.
Similar situations would likely occur frequently in the future.
They couldn't possibly not let Kaito participate, right?
Plus, Kaito was the team's powerful combatant. Besides, men are often more reliable than women in many situations and think more comprehensively.
As for the details, they could handle them.
"Whew, alright. Those who can't swim, step forward. Let those who can teach you. I'll go to the sea and see if I can catch some fish. Maybe we'll have grilled fish for lunch."
After Kaito hung up his clothes, he also glanced at the various clothes hanging elsewhere.
After a brief glance, it made those mothers a bit embarrassed.
Fortunately, Kaito only looked for a moment, then proactively ran to the sea to check the surroundings.
"Hmm, no reefs, no seaweed or coral in the shallow area. So there probably aren't any dangerous fish around here either."
In the sea, Kaito swam underwater for a while to confirm. Surfacing, he let them start swimming.
"Uh... so many people can't swim?"
'First, let me see who can't swim!'
Adults: Shodai, Kie, Tearju, Sayuri.
Children: Everyone except Lala can't swim.
'Wow, that's a lot of people!'
"Kaito-san, not enough hands! Help!"
Misuzu cried for help.
Shodai and the others lowered their heads in embarrassment.
As we all know, learning to swim is fastest with one-on-one instruction. Experienced swimmers can also spot mistakes in form and correct them.
And so, Kaito, who was supposed to be fishing, was forced to help.
"Alright, I'll teach one person first. Who wants to go first?"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Except for Ako, who was slacking off, and the Tsundere Nana and Mikoto, basically everyone raised their hands.
Including Lala, who could swim, came closer, admitting she only knew how to play in the water and didn't completely know how to swim, let alone teach others.
"Ahem, how about rock-paper-scissors?"
Looking at the adults and children raising their hands, Kaito smiled helplessly.
Perhaps seeing how proficient Kaito's swimming form was, how freely he could swim in the water, they naturally wanted him to teach them.
Besides, other intentions couldn't be ruled out.
For example, Shodai and Sayuri, who had been clinging to him from the beginning.
These two as expected got along.
Oh, and Misuzu too.
The three live wires of the chat group. It's just that Sayuri joined late, otherwise she would definitely be driving the conversation too.
"Oh, I won!"
The one who laughed last was actually Sayuri!
"Mom... don't embarrass me like this!!!"
Eriri, watching her mother breathe rapidly and look like she was about to pounce on Kaito, almost couldn't show her face.
There's no denying it.
Kaito was really handsome, and his body was extremely perfect.
Countless images emerged in her mind, just lacking paper and pen to draw them.
"Alright, everyone spread out to different areas. Warm up first, then go to slightly shallower water."
Kaito had no choice. After they each warmed up, he took Sayuri to a nearby spot, standing in water about one and a half meters deep.
"Kaito-san, I'm a little scared..."
As happy as she was before, now she was just as panicked.
One and a half meters was already up to her neck. No matter how bold she was, she'd be scared.
"Mrs. Sawamura, don't worry. I'll support you while you swim."
"No, no, no! Don't go!"
Splash...
As soon as Kaito let go, Sayuri panicked, reached out, hugged Kaito, and pressed tightly against him.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I'm not leaving. I'm right next to you..."
"No, no, my legs are already weak. I can't stand straight! I'm having trouble breathing... I can't do it, Kaito, carry me back to shore!!"
Watching Sayuri's body slowly sink, Kaito felt tired.
Holding back tears, he hugged her and walked back a short distance.
"Alright, get used to the water here first. Adjust your breathing..."
"No, no, no, I still can't breathe. My whole body is shaking. I'm scared!"
"..."
'Sigh, beginner's hydrophobia.'
'It seemed teaching her to swim might be difficult.'
