Volume 4 Chapter 81 Sunburned Swimsuit Challenge♡
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
We showed part of our skills to register as adventurers in the free city of Latipak.
Maybe because of that, or because Lifia and the others stood out, a suspicious man approached us right after we left the guild and invited us to join an organization called the “Clan.”
We refused and ignored him for the moment. But as we walked down the street, more people connected to that clan came up to us.
None looked as shady as the first, but it was clear this clan held strong influence in this town.
That evening, I went to the adventurer guild to pick up Tifi, and together we all returned to the Love Hotel.
While thanking Tifi for finishing her work, I asked her to explain more about this clan.
”A clan is a group of adventurers,” she said. “It’s bigger than a party and usually has contracts with the merchant guild. Think of it as something between a party and an adventurer guild.”
According to Tifi, in the Kingdom of Nakuos, most adventurers work through the guild, and clans are rare.
In fact, I’d never once been invited to join a clan back home.
But here in the free city, things were different. The merchants had strong influence, and many adventurers were hired directly by clans without going through the guild.
Some clients preferred clans because guild fees and procedures were a hassle. The direct contracts made things faster and more flexible.
Because of that, the adventurer guild here was weaker, and many skilled staff were snatched up by the merchant guild.
I remembered the chaos I saw today—how they hired Tifi without proper screening. That explained a lot.
Most well-known adventurers belonged to clans. To get stable work and support, joining a clan seemed necessary.
Lower-tier adventurers, called “starless,” usually weren’t part of any clan. Joining often required fees or a sponsor, and those without skill were left out.
That made our party—strong but clanless—very rare. Plus, with all the girls being beautiful, Tifi said clans saw us as very desirable recruits.
At first glance, the system wasn’t bad, just different from the kingdom’s.
The connection between adventurers and merchant clients was very close. Clans handled requests directly, skipping the guild.
The speed from taking a job to finishing it was quick, making it efficient—great for the merchants.
So, beginners started with guild jobs to build reputation, then aimed to join a clan once they gained recognition.
That was the path to success here, and it made sense.
But this also meant those without talent or support got left behind.
If a clan with strong adventurers grew too powerful, it might disturb the city’s order.
There were rumors that some clans did shady work, acting like mercenaries or private soldiers for merchants. They took on secret or dirty jobs that couldn’t be openly talked about.
This free city looked dazzling on the surface but had its dark side. It seemed we had stepped right into that shadow.
”We probably won’t stay uninvolved for long,” I said.
As long as we worked here, clans would somehow pull us in.

The next day, Korukona and I walked along a quiet, empty beach just outside town.
The sound of waves echoed, and the sea breeze blew gently. Korukona’s short black hair fluttered, her tan skin shining in the sunlight. Her cat ears twitched, and her tail flicked nervously.
”Taro! No, no! This is impossible! I can’t do it!” she cried out desperately.
I had helped her strip down, standing her naked on the warm sand.
On the wide, bright beach, Korukona stood without shame, her cat ears and tail clearly visible.
Her tan skin was marked by sunburn, with her chest and more private areas still pale—making it look like she wore a white swimsuit.
Maybe from afar, it really did look like she was in a bikini, even though she was completely nude.
”Come on, straighten your back and puff out your chest,” I said. “Being shy will only draw more attention. If you hold yourself confidently, no one will notice.”
We called this the “Sunburned Swimsuit Challenge,” a little game to make Korukona less shy.
”Meow… Taro, stop! If you keep that up, it’ll definitely show!”
I smirked at her protest, and her cat ears twitched. Her golden eyes shimmered, cheeks flushed lightly with embarrassment. She looked around nervously, trembling in that cute, cat-like way that pulled at my heart.
Of course, I had no plan to let anyone else see her like this seriously. This beach was quiet and off the beaten path. People rarely came here, but it wasn’t completely empty. Sometimes, a stray visitor might stumble on us.
A small shadow of a boat floated offshore. If they used binoculars, they could see everything clearly.
That tiny thrill made Korukona’s reaction even cuter.
Her sunburn lines outlined her soft curves like fresh snow, with the white skin making her look like she wore a swimsuit under the bright sun. Her tail stood stiff, and strands of black hair stuck to her sweaty forehead.
”I’m really embarrassed… If someone comes, I’ll die!” she whispered.
Just as tears formed in her eyes—
”Huh!?” I said, pretending to notice something and turned toward the land.
A figure stood there, backlit and unclear, but definitely watching us.
”Meow? Someone’s there!?” Korukona jumped behind me, ears twitching and tail standing straight.
”Hiding only makes you more suspicious,” I said with a laugh.
I took her hand and pulled her out into the sunlight.
Her hand tried to cover her private parts, but her white breasts and the pale skin below were visible under the open sky. The sunburn made her tanned body shine in contrast.
”Meow… Taro, I’m so embarrassed!” she muttered.
”It’s okay. Act confident. It’ll look like you’re just wearing a swimsuit.”
I took her hand and led her to the shoreline.
The cold seawater tickled our feet, and waves splashed around us.
Wearing my swim trunks, we played in the water like a normal couple.
I splashed water lightly on her.
”Meow! Taro, it’s cold!”
Korukona laughed and splashed back, her cat ears drooping and twitching, tail sticking to her wet body.
Under the sun, her tan skin and white sunburn marks sparkled like a perfect swimsuit.
Her amber eyes shone, and her shy smile was impossible to resist.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something.
”Taro, no! I—I’ve been naked!”
She looked back at the land, where the figure was still watching us closely.
”They’re watching so closely. I think they noticed!”
”No way around it.”
”Yeah! Let’s go home!”
Korukona’s cat ears stood alert, her tail wagging nervously. Her cheeks flushed deep red, and her eyes trembled.
”Since it’s a good chance, I’ll show you something.”
”Meowww!?” she gasped.
I pulled Korukona into an embrace.
Her soft chest pressed against me, and I felt her warmth. Her skin trembled slightly, but it was comforting.
”Wh-why!?” she asked.
”I can’t help but show off the beauty of a girl like you,” I said.
Right there, under the watching eyes, I kissed her gently.
I softly licked her lips before deepening the kiss. A sweet sigh escaped her, but her golden eyes stayed wide open, still tense.
”Phew, Taro… it’s getting crowded…”
More figures appeared—two, three.
”The more spectators, the better, right?”
I cupped her soft chest, feeling the gentle warmth beneath my hands. Each time I squeezed, Korukona’s body trembled slightly, a quiet reaction that made my heart race. Her cheeks flushed deeply.
”Ah, no… haaah…” she whispered, voice trembling.
Slowly, I let my hand wander lower, brushing against her hidden places. A soft, slick sound followed my touch, and when I pulled my fingers away, a faint shimmer caught the sunlight. She was already responding, wet and waiting.
”So, you’re feeling it after all. Does being watched make you nervous?” I asked, showing her my fingers.
”N-no… Taro… I didn’t mean to…” she stammered, face turning bright red.
I gently lifted her leg and moved closer, entering her warm embrace with care. Korukona shivered as I settled inside her, her body arching in a mix of pleasure and hesitation. The sunlight caught the curves of her tan lines, making her skin glow softly.
”Haaah… Taro… everyone’s watching…” she breathed, voice barely audible.
Her hips moved with mine in a slow rhythm. She clung to me, arms wrapped around my neck, her soft moans blending with the gentle breeze.
Without warning, I shifted us, spinning her around and holding her steady from behind. Her surprise was evident in a small, startled sound.
”Ah!? Meow!?” she gasped.
The motion sent waves of sensation through her, and her body trembled, tightening around me as if she wanted to hold on forever.
”Korukona, you’re so shy being watched,” I teased softly.
”Don’t say that…” she whispered, voice trembling.
Turning her toward the quiet beach, I spread her legs gently, revealing her delicate form. The sun lit her skin beautifully, every line and curve clear to see. I resumed moving slowly, lifting and lowering her with care.
”Stop… please,” she begged quietly.
The sound of our connection echoed softly across the sand. Her tail twitched nervously, curling around me, sending shivers through my body.
”Don’t look…” she whispered, voice breaking.
Each movement made her tremble, moans slipping out despite her shyness. Inside, she tightened around me like a gentle, warm embrace.
I was close now, feeling the heat building between us.
”Korukona, I’m almost there,” I warned.
”N-no… not like this…” she pleaded, voice breaking.
Her body shuddered with release, trembling in my arms as she reached her peak. The warmth of her response tightened around me, pulling me over the edge. I let go, the sensation flooding through us both, silent and intimate. A soft, warm feeling mixed with hers, dripping quietly onto the sand below.
”Haa… haa… Taro…” she breathed, weak and content.
I gently laid her down on the warm beach, her body soft and relaxed in my arms. Her skin glistened in the sunlight, the contrast of her tan lines and pale skin beautiful and serene.
”Here… you can take it,” I said quietly, offering her a small gesture.
”Huh?” she blinked, surprised.
”You know what to do, right?” I asked, watching her closely.
”Uh… yeah…” she whispered, cheeks flushed but obedient.
Though I hadn’t seen this side of her before, I trusted she had learned. With a shy but willing nod, Korukona leaned forward, her movements hesitant but gentle. Her soft lips brushed against me, warm and careful.
”Mmm…” she murmured softly, awkward but sweet.
Her touch sent a new rush through me, stirring something deep inside.
”Mmm… even with others watching… nchu… I’m… doing my best…” she murmured shyly.
Her movements were a little awkward, but the honest effort was endearing. I gently stroked her head, and her ears twitched happily. Her cat ears and tail lifted, flicking softly with each careful motion.
”I’m close. Just hold on,” I said quietly.
I pulled her closer, and she took everything with determination. Soft sounds escaped her lips as she tried her best.
”Mmph… nngh…” she struggled but kept going.
After a moment, she swallowed and coughed softly.
”You did well,” I praised her.
”Hehe, thanks…” she smiled, cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
A warm, lazy feeling spread through me as I continued stroking her head gently.
When I looked up, the onlookers had quietly left, and the tide had risen without us noticing.
”Let’s go finish this somewhere more private,” I said softly.
* * *
”Everyone, you did well,” I said, looking at Lifia and Kéa.
”For Master!” they answered together.
”We gave it our best!” Lifia added with a bright smile.
We were in the lobby of the Love Hotel. I praised them quietly while Korukona, drained from the tension and everything that had happened, was fast asleep inside.
”Honestly, you’re so stupid,” Yomi muttered, clearly exasperated.
Her eyes were fixed on a black mannequin-like figure dressed in plain clothes. The figure slowly turned its face toward us as if reacting to our voices.
This was one of the Love Hotel’s special play rooms called the “Crowded Train,” filled with mannequins acting as passengers.
I had used this setup before when Yomi and I played that train molestation game. This time, Lifia and the others had dragged the mannequin into the brush near the beach to act as a witness during Korukona’s “Sunburn Swimwear Challenge.”
There had been no real witnesses at the beach from the start. It was all a prank meant to spice up Korukona’s swimsuit challenge.
Korukona’s body belongs to me. I wouldn’t let any other man see her naked.
But her scared reaction when she thought she was being watched was honestly kind of cute. She was pretty tight too.
Maybe I can come up with more games like this in the future.
