I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1808: Sea Bathing with Anima

Chapter 1808: Sea Bathing with Anima ⑤

Upon arriving at the beach, we immediately pulled out our leisure sheets and set up our parasols. As to be expected from a private resort aimed at the wealthy, the beach was just as beautiful as the beach we went to before.

[Well, playing at the beach doesn’t just mean swimming with gusto, relaxing by the sea is also attractive, isn’t it?]

[You’re right. Hydra Kingdom has a warm climate, and the weather is very nice today, so the sun is very pleasant.]

[Are you alright with the heat, Anima?]

[I don’t particularly mind it…… I can regulate it with magic, and if anything, I actually dislike the cold more. How about you, Master?]

It seems that Anima isn’t fond of the cold rather than the heat. I don’t know if Black Bears hibernate or not, but Anima always wears long sleeves, long pants, gloves and a fur mantle, so her attire generally seems warm and cozy all the time.

[Since I arrived in this world, thanks to s.h.i.+ro-san’s blessing, the temperature doesn’t affect me nearly as much as the others, but if I had to pick, I guess I don’t like the heat that much? You see, I could cope with the cold to some extent by putting on thicker clothes, but there’s a limit to how much you can be lightly dressed when it’s hot.]

[I see. I heard that there was no magic in the world Master lived, so it must be difficult to regulate one’s bodily temperature.]

[Well, there was aircon…… a machine that adjusts the temperature inside the room, so things are fine indoors, but that certainly is the case when we had to go outside…… but well, even in this world, there aren’t that many people who can use magic that regulates their body temperature all the time while they’re on a trip outside?]

[T- That certainly is the case. I’m kinda starting to misunderstand with how everyone around us can naturally do it…… but now that Master mentioned it, there are people who can’t even use magic, so not everyone can take these measures.]

[Yeah, I get what you feel. Being surrounded by so many great people makes me feel like my criteria are higher.]

In my case, I think that’s especially true for my sense of money…… I’m aware that my sense of money is getting skewed with all the rich people around me, so I really have to be careful…… In that sense, friends like Kaori-san are truly valuable. Talking with her makes me realize how my perception of things has unknowingly s.h.i.+fted.

[However, since we’re here, let’s have a little fun at the beach first.]

[Yes.]

[We can simply go swimming, but is there anything you want to do, Anima?]

[T- That’s a difficult question.]

[Ahh, I guess that’s because you haven’t been to the ocean much?]

The last time Anima has been to the beach was when we went swimming at the beach before. And during that time, Anima primarily helped Alice prepare for the barbecue, and it didn’t seem like she had played in the sea that much.

It seems like she did join the others and played with them a bit, and maybe the beach volleyball afterward (?), but if that’s the case, there’s a possibility that Anima simply isn’t familiar with playing at the beach.

No, well, it’s not like I’m that knowledgeable about it either…… I guess I could only think of beach volleyball and watermelon splitting. As for things like snorkeling and the like, a layman like me wouldn’t know about them, so doing that feels like it would be difficult even with the equipment provided.

[Ahh, no, that’s, of course, part of it…… but more than that, errr, I’m just so happy to be with Master right now that I can’t think of anything else right away.]

[Fufu, I see…… In that case, how about accompanying me for the time being? If you think of anything we could do along the way, let me know.]

[Yes! I’ll accompany you!]

While enjoying the company of the adorable Anima, for the time being, it was decided I would be leading her while we headed to the sea. Although we’re just going to soak in the water, swim a bit, and have a casual chat with Anima, it’s still plenty enjoyable.

[Ah, come to think of it, I think I got a rubber boat in my magic box.]

[Is that right? As expected of Master, you’re very well prepared.]

[No, I received various things from Kuro after that beach outing we had before. I believe they’re products from Kuro’s trading company.]

[……Kuromueina-dono really does make a lot of things.]

Kuro brought things like banana boats during our previous beach outing, and I a.s.sume she had likely had those created with her knowledge about the other world. Given her personality, if she sees potential in selling such products, she might sell them through her trading companies.

In fact, since Laguna-san sought to promote private beaches and that beach we went swimming to before, it seems that sea leisure is relatively common in this world, so there likely is demand for products catering to such activities.

[It’s too late to say this, but it seems like playing at the beach seemed to be pretty major in this world as well.]

[There are several species living by the sea, such as the Mermaids, so their presence may have a connection to it. If something had a certain amount of history to it, amus.e.m.e.nts related to it would naturally exist as well.]

[I see…… Well, for the time being, let’s go for a rubber boat ride.]

Considering that activities for aquatic species like Mermaids may have influenced sea leisure, there might be games and activities not just by the seaside but also underwater. With these thoughts in mind, I bring out a rubber boat from my magic box.

Serious-senpai : [Haahhh…… T- That was dangerous. Maybe I should get a little break…… I have to recover my stamina at this time……]

Makina : [Does your chocolatization have a connection with your stamina? Unnn…… delis.h.!.+]

Serious-senpai : [How am I supposed to react to a dangerous guy who talks to me very casually while fondue-ing marshmallows with what’s likely melted chocolate I was transformed into……]
