Chapter 1866: Taking A Dip
—–
Celeste and Ruby quickly joined us as we reached a huge, most likely artificial, lake in the middle of the plaza. It was definitely large, filled with fish and other creatures, but mostly crystal clear and looking quite clean.
A big sign nearby said bathing was allowed, but fishing was prohibited. Anyone caught fishing would have to pay a fine.
“Looks good to go!” I nodded. “Daaaad! We’re going to take a bath in the lake!”
“Okay!” my dad replied, giving me a thumbs up. “Ah right, can you bring Esmeralda with you?”
The girl was currently climbing on his head and biting his hair… I could see why he wanted a break.
“What’s this? A lake where people can bathe?” Nepheline wondered.
The lake was surrounded by something resembling a small beach, mostly made of sand and stones. Families were gathered there—some eating fruit, others grilling meat, and many simply enjoying the day.
It was crazy when you considered that there was a bustling city around this place, and even more so that we were inside a mountain. Outside, a strong snowstorm raged.
I guess that’s the power of Magic and Terraforming.
“Had no idea you had a whole lake in here! What the hell?” Nepheline asked, surprised. “Maybe we could spend the rest of the day here? What do you say, kids?”
“Sounds good!” Celica nodded. “I want to swim and eat grilled meat!”
“Hey, Celica, aren’t you getting too cocky asking for so much?” Celeste teased.
“I’m fine with it,” I nodded. “But the whole day? I don’t know…”
“Yeah, not the whole day,” Felicia said. “I can only… be out there for so long.”
“Let’s spend an hour at least,” Shade smiled. “Esmeralda’s already out there.”
We saw the little girl swimming in the water like she was born there. Some of the kids playing nearby were surprised when a super baby splashed water at them and then swam away like a little frog.
“What does that brat think she is?” Aquarina laughed. “Alright, shall we go?”
“Sure!” I nodded. “I’ve got some swimsuits here…”
“Nah, I’m good,” she said, taking off her blouse and quickly revealing she was wearing white lingerie around her chest and hips, mostly made of thin cloth. “I’m fine like this!”
“A-Ah, I see…” I nodded. “Well, I think I can just… yep!”
I took off my skirt and blouse, then ran to the lake with Aquarina.
Some people looked at us, but well, who wouldn’t? We were two beautiful young girls.
At the end of the day, we didn’t really care.
SPLASH!
Quickly after, Celica joined us, wearing a one-piece blue swimsuit I had given her. Then Celeste came along with her blue swimsuit that had a cute skirt.
“The water’s cold!” Celeste complained.
“Yeah, it’s refreshing!” I said. “Haha, come on!”
I splashed her, scaring some fish beneath us. Celeste got angry, kicking the water back at us.
“Don’t splash my face! Who knows how nasty this water is?” she said angrily.
“It’s not nasty. The people keep it clean, and there’s a magic formation beneath to keep it crystal clear too!” I said. “It’s super nice!”
“Come on, get in here!” Aquarina suddenly grabbed her by the leg and dragged her into the lake, with Celica helping too.
“Uwaaah?!”
SPLASH!
Celeste fell into the water and then emerged angrily, hitting Aquarina with her arms.
“Y-You damn…! You’re still the same as ever!”
“Haha! Sorry, sorry. Let’s just play, Celeste! Don’t be grumpy.”
“Yeah, don’t be grumpy!”
“Yeaaah!”
Celica and I nodded, splashing water at Aquarina and Celeste. Celeste grew really mad, groaning.
“Okay, that’s it!”
She started splashing more and more water at everyone. We laughed a lot, but I felt like someone was missing.
“Ruby?”
She was only touching the water with her feet, looking a little embarrassed. She hadn’t changed clothes yet.
“Rubyyy! Here, look!”
I ran to her side, offering her a swimsuit.
“This is a white swimsuit. I think it would look wonderful on you—it even has a little skirt.”
“I-I… I’m a little embarrassed… I don’t know if I should go.”
“Huh? Why not?”
“But… I’m… won’t they notice I have…”
“What?”
“You know…”
“Hmmm… Ah! You mean… don’t worry! That’s why it has a skirt.”
“So you thought about it?”
“Yeah, I mean I know you already… Aren’t we friends? I bet you’ll look gorgeous.”
“But…”
“I know you can do it, come on…”
“Fineee…”
She was embarrassed but quickly put on the swimsuit inside the changing area, which was close to several shops selling food and other things.
“Uwah, I’ve never worn something so girly before… I-Is it really okay?!” she muttered, walking outside, looking very shy.
“Ohhh! You look sexy!” I nodded, winking at her.
She really did look good—big, thick thighs, wide hips, a beautiful face, long blonde hair. She was gorgeous. Her red skin was also striking, attracting plenty of gazes.
The contrast with the white swimsuit was perfect.
“The skirt is really long… Wait, sexy?!” she gasped. “Do I?”
“Yep!” I nodded.
As we chatted, I noticed a group of young boys walking toward us.
It was two young dwarves and one young elf, all around our age.
“Hey girls, are you alone? Wanna hang out?” the elf boy asked.
“E-Eh? Ahh…” Ruby covered her face in embarrassment, making the elf boy laugh.
“Don’t be shy, cutie! We’re all here to have some fun, right?” he said.
“Ahaha, sorry, my friend is kind of shy! She’s fine,” I said. “See? You totally look fine! You’re a cute girl, Ruby.”
“Sylphy… thanks…” Ruby shed a little tear, hugging me as I patted her head.
“Why is she crying?”
“Is she okay?”
The two dwarf boys looked confused.
“She’s fine, it’s just her first time in the lake,” I explained.
“Aaah, well, she shouldn’t be shy at all! She’s gorgeous,” the elf boy said. “So? Wanna come party with us? We’re having barbeque and we’ve got some beer too.”
“Uum, no thanks!” I said. “We’re good! We’ve got our friends over there, and we came with our parents too, sorry…”
