「—Fu, that was nerve-wracking…」

While heaving a sigh, Lapis spoke out her true feelings.

When the other side is female, Lapis is able to talk without being timid, but this time was a story.

Anyhow, it was a problem that would influence her entire life. Since she wanted to make the best memories, she couldn’t say things poorly, thus she was burned out.

Still, she was naturally nervous and couldn’t talk well.

「Fufu, weren’t you rigid, Lapis」

「Yeah, Lily being there saved me. Thanks♪」

「S-sure…」

Even though she had spoke in a teasing tone, being returned with an honest thanks, it was Lily instead who became flustered.

Since the two were gradually calming down, they held hands and walked. Where they were headed was a street where clothes, hats, shoes, and such were being handled, popularly called fashion way.

Since it was still a bit away, until they arrived, they laughed and talked while walking.

「Hey, Lily. Do you remember about our talks for a honeymoon?」

「Of course, the eastern island country, right? …Even though I said soon, sorry that it’s become so long since then」

「No, it’s fine. Aside from that, what are we going to do with Sera?」

「? Sera-chan will also be coming along, right?

「Right. I also think so, but Sera is likely to hold back, right? 『I wouldn’t do something as tactless as to try and go along on your honeymoon』 she’d say」

「Lapis, great impersonation. But yeah, that’s something she’d say」

「Right? So, what should we do?」

「Hm—. How about for the first time, we go on a trip alone, just the two of us, then for the next trip we go with Sera-chan?」

「Ah, that could work. Then, let’s」

Running ideas of happy futures, they had already arrived at their destination.

Fitting the name of fashion way, there were clothes shops, shops for other accessories, and such.

They went around the assorted shops in turn. When there was a shop that caught their attention, they entered, singling out various items.

「Lily, Lily. Try this on!」

「What is this!? You can practically see my entire body line in this!」

At one store, Lapis was trying to have Lily wear a dress from the country of Shin.

「Lapis, put this on!」

「N, nyaa. Nyadorable?」

At another store, Lapis tried on an imitation cat-ear headband.

「This, it would look great on Sera♪ And this, for Horun♪」

「Let’s buy them」

At another store, they chose out souvenirs for the younger sister and maid.

As though to proclaim that ‘This is a date!’, the two enjoyed their date normally.

They really looked happy, causing the hearts of those onlooking to swell.

Putting the things that they bought into the magic bag, when they exited outside, the sun had already begun to set.

If they didn’t leave soon, they’d end up being late for dinner, probably.

However, Lapis still had one shop that she wanted to visit, no matter what. Conveying her intent, she was readily given approval.

Lapis pulled Lily’s hand as they walked off.

「—This shop?」

「Yeah」

The shop that they arrived at was a shop specializing in swimsuits. It’s quiet the aggressive business.

「Once summer comes, we’ll want to go to the ocean, so why don’t we buy them now?」

「Good idea. For now, I want to give 20 to Lapis as a present♪」

「That’s too many… wouldn’t 2~3 be fine?」

「Then, how about we choose one for ourselves, then choose one that we want each other to wear?」

「That’s great! Let’s do that. Ah, let’s come again with Sera and Horun.」

「Right, let’s」

Separating their hands, they began their respective choosing of swimsuits.

With their respective eyes serious, they were just like an uncompromising craftsman.

Lapis thought.

「(Hm— It’s embarrassing, but maybe a two-piece over a one-piece? I want Lily to say that I’m cute, after all. Choosing mine, but also Lily’s in itself is a problem. Her style is nice, so anything would great on her. It’s precisely because of this that the chooser’s sense would be questioned… what should I do?)」

While thinking, she sifted through shelf after shelf.

One-piece, monokini, A-line, separate pieces, tankini, bikini— there are too many varieties.

In the middle, there were micro-bikinis and slingshots targeting an unclear demographic, but Lapis was trying her best to ignore those.

Wandering around the shop for around 15 minutes, she had chosen a swimsuit for herself. However, the essential point was that she still had to choose one for Lily.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be found in this shop. It was at that moment, while Lapis had been caught by that thought.

A swimsuit that she had unconsciously picked up had fallen from its hanger. She squatted down to pick it up in a hurry. At that moment.

It was deep, deep within the shelf, in a place where no one would notice it.

As though something were guiding Lapis, she reached her hand out.

It was a black two-piece swimsuit.

The top was designed to cover from the chest up to the clavicle, with all but the important parts see-through.

At a glance, the bottom has a skirt-like pareo attached, with the pareo also being see-through.

「(…Cute…)」

Imagining Lily wearing the swimsuit, a smile slipped on her face.

This will definitely fit— Lapis held such conviction.

Let’s go with this. Lapis decided such.

Paying the store clerk, Lapis put it into her own magic bag. She still hadn’t shown it to Lily yet. After all, it’d be a surprise for the day of.

At the perfect timing, Lily also came out from the store. In her hands, there was nothing aside from her magic bag. It seemed that they had the same idea.

「Did you find something cute?」

「Yeah♪ Look forward to it♪」

Answering in good humor, Lapis entwined their arms and hands. Lily smiled and took a posture for easy walking, then the two of them walked while clinging together.

(TL note: ‘Nya’ is basically ‘meow’. The Nyadorable is supposed to be cat talk of ‘is it cute, nya?’, but I thought it’d be cuter as is.

Swimsuit types: One-piece, monokini, A-line, separate pieces, tankini, micro-bikini, slingshot

Search the last two on your own, if you don’t know those, but take caution (like, seriously…)

My guess for Lily’s Swimsuit (approximate) + Pareo

Also, Happy New Year~!

Look forward to more fluff coming this year as well~!)
