I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Shiro-san had also directly expressed her desires, and since this place was somewhat like a dream, it made it easier for me to act on my own as well.

After hugging and kissing Shiro-san for a while, we returned to the beach. It didn’t really feel like we’d gone swimming, but we did get into the water and it was refreshing, so there was no problem.

[By the way, Shiro-san, do you have any requests for what we should do next?]

[I have a few. For example……]

When Shiro-san said that, a vivid image suddenly floated into my mind. It was like a scene from a romance movie, with a couple playing tag on the beach.

Then, when the man caught up with the woman, the two of them lost their balance and fell onto the sand, ending up in a position where the man was on top of the woman.

They gazed into each other’s eyes in silence, slowly bringing their faces closer…… That was the gist of the scene.

[I want to try something like that.]

[Well, yeah, that is a pretty dramatic development, but isn’t it a bit too difficult to pull off intentionally?]

If it happened naturally, sure, but trying to deliberately act that scene out would definitely feel awkward. We’d have to time the fall and everything just right, so the difficulty level was definitely high.

I mean, trying to intentionally recreate what would normally be considered a spontaneous moment, one you’d normally call an “accident”, is inherently hard.

[I see…… then how about this one?]

As I said that, Shiro-san nodded as if she understood, and another image began flowing into my mind. A couple was sitting side by side on a beach bathed in the light of the setting sun, gazing out at the horizon. The man casually put his arm around the woman’s shoulder, and though she looked surprised for a moment, she soon leaned against him.

Then the two looked into each other’s eyes, and kissed under the sunset glow…… that kind of scene.

[……A lot of these feel like they’re straight out of a romance movie. Shiro-san, have you been watching those?]

[I have. While learning about romantic interactions between lovers, I watched several romance movies. I also researched common romantic events between couples from other worlds…… but those are a bit harder to adapt.]

[Eh? So, do people in other worlds do things that are just unimaginable from our perspective?]

[I think it depends on the world, but there were many love behaviors based on biological traits. For example, there are beings that exchange bio-electrical signals, which equate to them kissing. Others had things like physically fusing their bodies.]

[That’s…… well, I guess for people in those worlds, that’s normal, but yeah, I’d definitely feel some resistance to trying stuff like that.]

Even if I knew that such customs existed in other worlds, and even if Shiro-san could probably replicate them if she wanted to…… the idea of literally fusing bodies just wouldn’t feel like romantic flirting to me, it’d just be a bizarre experience.

[It really is difficult. On the flip side, Kaito-san, is there anything you’d like to try with me, like a scene from a romance movie?]

[Hm? Me huh……? Hmmm, let’s see.]

When asked like that, I realized it was surprisingly tough to answer. If I assumed we were a couple at the beach, what kind of couple-like things would I want to try……? When I think of couple activities, I think of looking for seashells together, or doing fireworks…… stuff like that. They sound like leisure activities, but I’m not sure if they count as flirting.

In that case, something like the scene Shiro-san sent me, the one with hugging at sunset and kissing, might feel more like what I’m looking for.

Still, it’s surprisingly hard to come up with something we can actually do right away…… I could try princess-carrying her, but there’s no real reason to do that at the beach. Plus, with her in a swimsuit, the visual stimulation might be a bit too much, I’d probably end up overly conscious and awkward.

I mean, she is gorgeous and well-proportioned, and with all that exposed skin from the swimsuit, carrying her like that would definitely lead to a lot of contact…… Not that I’d hate that, honestly, but still, there’s a certain level of embarrassment……

[Hou……]

[Ah……]

I heard Shiro-san’s intrigued voice and immediately realized I’d made a blunder. Or rather…… Was this all part of her plan from the start?

She might’ve deliberately steered the conversation to make me think about how I’d want to flirt with her, just to get me to act on it……

[So, in other words, Kaito-san, you want to lift me up in your arms while I’m in a swimsuit and hold me close. That’s what you’re saying, right?]

[Wait, was that what we were talking about!?]

[It can’t be helped. Kaito-san is my lover, so of course you have the right to do that. And if that’s your wish, I can’t just ignore it. You’re free to enjoy it to your heart’s content.]

[This almost sounds like it’s already a done deal…… Wait, Shiro-san!? Your sheer cover-up is gone!?]

[I removed it because you seemed to prefer more skin contact. I was responding to your desires.]

No, I thought I was also talking about how that much skin contact would be a bit embarrassing but…… No, it’s no good. It seems like we’re totally gonna go through with this!?

<Afterword>

Makina : [Hmmm, this is almost starting to feel like they’re having foreplay or something…… But if break time turns into that kind of break, I’ll have to step in. For now though, it’s still within the safe zone.]

? ? ? : [Arehh? Where’s Serious-senpai?]

Makina : [Over there, turned into a sugar beach.]

? ? ? : [……And what in the heck is a sugar beach……]
