Free Web NovelChapter 123: B - Even with hundreds of girls in bikinis around, all eyes are still on Eliss
"About that whole thing with the police... has everything finally been sorted out?" Ayane asks, visibly worried.
"Luckily, it seems everything was resolved without any real consequences..."
"It’s still ridiculous, though... Miori never stops surprising me, and it’s even crazier that the police actually took her accusation seriously when she accused you of killing Renji Kurotani. You were bedridden after getting hit by a car, and Eliss... seriously, no sane person would believe a girl like her could kill someone way stronger than her and completely erase every trace of it. Thankfully, at least someone at that police station still has a brain..."
"Y-Yeah..." Aoshi replies with a forced smile.
Ah... if only things had really gone that smoothly...
As if Miori’s accusations weren’t bad enough, security footage also surfaced showing Renji and Eliss walking together hand in hand toward the abandoned industrial area on the night of Renji’s disappearance.
That put Eliss in a pretty bad position, especially since there was also a motive — Miori had told the police that the previous day, Renji had beaten him up because of jealousy.
Luckily for us, that police station is full of male officers, and for Eliss, manipulating their minds was child’s play — forcing them to permanently erase every piece of evidence against us and close the case for good. Let’s just hope this is really over now...
And honestly, I can’t even blame Miori that much — anyone with even a little sense of civic duty would report a murder...
Even though three weeks had passed since Miori last came to his house, the sensations she had made him feel were still painfully vivid in Aoshi’s memory.
Her tongue brushing against his neck... her increasingly intimate massages... her breasts pressed tightly against his back...
Despite how much he hates her, some feelings are impossible to forget.
"Aoshi! Hey, Aoshi!"
His attention suddenly snaps back to reality when he hears Eliss’s cheerful voice.
She climbs out of the pool like a goddess rising from the water.
She’s wearing a tight white bikini that barely contains her breasts, while the thin string of the bottoms nearly disappears between her curves.
Despite all the other girls around her, Eliss immediately draws everyone’s attention.
"Aoshi, this place is incredible! I’ve never had this much fun before! I want to come back tomorrow too! And the next day! I want to come here every day for the rest of my life!"
"I-I’m really happy you’re having fun, Eliss..." Aoshi murmurs, feeling overwhelmed by the pressure — every guy nearby is staring at Eliss and therefore at him as well, now that she’s standing right next to him. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
He can practically feel the suffocating weight of all those jealous stares, all screaming the same thing: How the hell did a bombshell like her end up with a loser like him?
By now, he should’ve gotten used to it — he’s been hearing comments like that from everyone ever since Eliss somehow fell in love with him.
"I didn’t expect you’d never been to a water park before..." Ayane says, sounding puzzled.
"Yeah — they never really interested me. But I have to admit, I regret not coming sooner. Well, I guess it’s never too late for a first time."
Aoshi lets out a long sigh of relief after hearing those words.
Phew... I was afraid she’d say something like: "Back where I come from, places like this don’t exist," but by now she seems perfectly adapted to life here. I don’t have to worry anymore about her saying or doing anything strange in public.
Still... Ravessia must be an incredibly boring kingdom if they don’t even have places like water parks. I guess that’s one of the reasons Eliss ran away from there.
Who knows... maybe she’s enjoying life among humans so much that once her punishment is over, she might choose to stay here forever. Even though only a madman would choose an ordinary life with an ordinary guy and an ordinary job... over the luxurious life waiting for her back in her kingdom.
B-But... if I managed to make her truly love this world — genuinely love it — if I could give her something she could never have in Elyndra... then maybe she really would stay here. And if she stayed... then maybe our story wouldn’t be doomed from the start...
But what the hell am I even thinking? Eliss and I aren’t anything anymore. That’s all.
Actually, we were never anything in the first place — and I don’t even have feelings for her, so why the hell should I care about convincing her to stay?
But something unexpectedly interrupts Aoshi’s usual train of thought — the same thoughts he always uses to convince himself he doesn’t care about Eliss.
A man around thirty with a toned, athletic build, neatly styled black hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and flashy sunglasses.
"Man, if that girl’s your girlfriend, you’ve gotta teach me how to pick up girls like that," the guy says with a friendly smile.
"A-Actually... she’s not."
"From the way she was talking to you, I would’ve thought she was."
Then the guy turns toward Takuma.
"Then she must be your—"
He suddenly stops mid-sentence when he notices the lolicon-themed beach towel.
"No, okay... she’s definitely not your girlfriend."
Ayane struggles to hold back a laugh.
"Well, since nobody here seems jealous, how about trying that slide with me? It needs two people, and I came here alone... it’d be a shame not to try it."
"Tsk..."
An annoyed expression crosses Aoshi’s face.
The nerve of this guy! That show-off’s swimsuit is still completely dry, and he comes all the way over here just to hit on Eliss because apparently, out of all the slides in this place, he just had to try the only one that needs two people? Yeah, I know exactly what he’s after, and it has nothing to do with the slide!
Whatever. Thankfully, Eliss isn’t the type of girl who gets impressed by a few muscles, so there’s no way she’d—
"Sure, I’d love to."
W-WHAT?!
