Before going out, the old uncle first put away his Requiem Armor.
Little Eula was only busy for one afternoon finalizing the construction of the Requiem Shrine.
After that, they would at least have a week of vacation.
After all, from now on, everything could be handed over to Watatsumi Island's side to handle.
"Little Kokomi, wait for me a moment. This old uncle needs to go change into swim trunks first…"
The old uncle chose to return to the room to change his pants.
How could one go swimming without changing into swim trunks?
So he first brought little Kokomi back to the room provided by Sangonomiya, had her wait in the living room, then went into the bedroom to replace his underwear with swim trunks in advance before putting on beach shorts and a short-sleeved shirt for going out.
He would only take off his clothes once they reached the swimming spot…
Well, there was no helping it. This old uncle was at heart still a rather shy big boy. Walking around the streets shirtless in just swim trunks… he really could not bring himself to do it.
Towel prepared, the swim cap and swimming goggles specially made by Aunt Xianyun…
Seriously, I'm crying. Aunt Xianyun, I love you!
Awoo.
"Kokomi, aren't you going to prepare anything? Like swimming goggles or a swimsuit or something?"
After packing his things, the old uncle asked little Kokomi, who was sitting obediently on the sofa.
Little Kokomi shook her head.
"After all, Watatsumi Island lives by the sea. The Divine Priestess's attire is made from materials that can be used for diving, so I don't need to prepare anything special."
A swimsuit that could double as casual clothes? That was really convenient…
"What about a towel? Don't you need one?"
Little Kokomi looked a little proud at this.
"Because I go swimming there often, I already left a towel there a long time ago!"
The old uncle clapped his hands at this.
"Very good, very good. You've thought of everything. Always be prepared…"
No matter what, the old uncle and little Kokomi eventually arrived at the diving spot little Kokomi liked.
And the secret swimming spot little Kokomi had chosen…
"It's the open sea, huh…"
That was normal too. After all, the water inside Watatsumi Island was too shallow. If one wanted to swim, they could only come to the seaside of Watatsumi Island.
Their current position was along the island wall midway between Mouun Village and Mouun Shrine…
If he had to calculate it…
The old uncle recalled for a moment…
Looking at the terrain, although it was a bit complicated, this stretch of coastline seemed to form a perpendicular line with little Kokomi's secret base and the island wall…
By now, little Kokomi had already walked into the sea first.
"Old uncle, coming?"
"Wait a moment first. This old uncle needs to take off his clothes. Little Kokomi, it's better if you turn your back to me…"
Although there were considerations of shyness, no matter how one looked at it, letting a little girl watch this old uncle take off his clothes…
Although there was no one on this beach and no one should see…
No, the fact that there was no one made it even stranger, right?
Especially now that little Kokomi had turned her back to him. After it became quiet, the sound of him taking off his clothes and pants…
It felt even stranger…
Damn it, what kind of messy thoughts are in my head…
The old uncle knocked on his own head, then stepped into the ocean.
In contrast to the scorching summer day, the seawater felt much cooler.
And after lying down in it, he could feel the buoyancy of the water supporting his body, which made him unconsciously relax a little…
At the same time, it washed away the strange feeling he had just experienced from the silence.
"Alright, Kokomi. You can turn around now."
Little Kokomi turned her head and saw…
The old uncle swimming over with great effort, going "plop plop" like a big frog.
"Pfft…"
Little Kokomi covered her mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud…
Breaststroke was normal, but it was truly rare to see someone look as much like a frog as the old uncle did.
