My Gift Is “Beauty”. I Think It’s Useless, but It Seems to Be an S-Rank Gift With the Strongest Buff Effect for Beautiful Girls - Chapter 36.1: At the Sea, Inside the Tent

Chapter 36.1: At the Sea, Inside the Tent

It was summer vacation.

On that day, everyone went to the beach.

Hiroyo, Hibiki, Koharu, Kirino, Himari, and Umirin, six people in total, came together.

They arrived at a typical beach. Many guests filled the place, and families, students, and flashy people who seemed to be there to pick up others were visible.

They brought a large tent, a parasol, and a table that Kirino prepared. She apparently gathered items to enjoy the beach for this day.

“Hiroyo! Put it on me!” Hibiki called out.

“Alright, just wait a moment,” Hiroyo replied.

Hibiki lay face down on a sheet under the parasol.

She handed sunscreen to Hiroyo and asked him to apply it all over her body.

Hiroyo took the white liquid in his hands.

He spread it evenly on both hands and then applied it to Hibiki’s back, which was warm from the sun’s rays.

“Mm, Hiroyo’s hands feel so good!” Hibiki said happily.

“Is that so?” Hiroyo responded.

Each time Hiroyo applied the sunscreen, the sound of Hibiki’s skin rubbing against the liquid echoed.

It was supposed to be a normal act, but a man applying it to a woman created an atmosphere that felt somewhat unusual.

“Now, the front too…” Hibiki said playfully.

“No way we can do that with everyone watching!” Hiroyo protested.

“Haha, yeah, right! Come on, others are waiting, so do them too,” Hibiki teased.

“All of them?” Hiroyo asked.

“They’re waiting, so hurry up!” Himari urged.

“Yeah, yeah!” Umirin added.

The other girls, except Hibiki, were waiting. Himari and Umirin shouted playfully.

Hiroyo, who had to apply sunscreen to four more people, felt tired before even playing.

“H-Hiroyo-kun… how do I look?” Kirino asked shyly.

Kirino showed off her beautiful swimsuit figure while fidgeting.

Her “Breast Enhancement” skill had increased her breasts from a B-cup to a C-cup.

Compared to the others, there was still a difference, but it was undeniable that her breasts had grown.

“You look great, Kirino. I mean… it’s nice for you,” Hiroyo said.

“Yes!” Kirino replied happily.

Hiroyo didn’t know what to say about her larger breasts size, but Kirino would have been happy with anything he said.

Hibiki and the others also attracted attention from people who came to the beach.

Their shiny hair, smooth skin, and small, beautiful faces stood out.

Though their figures varied, all of them were beautiful girls.

With five of them together, they naturally became the center of attention.

Playing beach volleyball and laughing together, they captivated the gazes of men.

“Phew, let’s take a break,” Hibiki suggested.

After playing and feeling tired, they returned to the tent to rest.

The tent felt like paradise.

Kirino had placed non-melting ice around it, making it cool and refreshing.

“Wow! This is amazing, Kirino!” Hibiki exclaimed.

“Seriously… I don’t even want to go back outside,” Umirin said.

“Who knew Kirino’s Gift would be so useful at the beach?” Himari remarked.

“Thanks to Kirino!” Koharu added.

“Thank you, Kirino!” Hiroyo said.

Everyone thanked Kirino and rested in the tent, drinking and relaxing.

However, partway through, everyone’s behavior became strange.

Himari’s topic of conversation caused it.

“Hey, did you know? Guys who come to the beach to pick up girls always bring tents,” Himari said.

“Really?” Koharu asked.

“Yeah, they take the girls they pick up into the tent and hook up,” Himari explained.

“Ugh, so sleazy!” Umirin commented.

“But if the girls go in, it means they’re okay with it,” Himari added.

“So, some women are here waiting to be picked up?” Koharu asked.

“Exactly,” Himari confirmed.

The phrase “hook up in the tent” lingered in the minds of the women in the tent.

The five women’s gazes gradually turned toward Hiroyo.

“W-What? Why is everyone looking at me?” Hiroyo asked nervously.

A tent is a cage, a cage to trap wild beasts.

Inside were five fierce beasts and one weak prey.

However, perhaps thinking there were too many people, the five women made eye contact and nodded.

“Rock, paper, scissors!” they shouted.

“Huh? Why are you playing rock, paper, scissors?” Hiroyo asked, confused.

Hiroyo, unaware of the situation, was startled by the sudden game.

The result split them into Hibiki, Himari, and Umirin’s team and Kirino and Koharu’s team. Hibiki’s team went first, while Kirino’s team would spend time outside.

“We’ll be back in thirty minutes,” Kirino said.

“Isn’t that too short?” Himari complained.

“If we stay outside longer, we’ll dry up,” Koharu explained.

“Alright! Hibiki, let’s hook up!” Himari declared.

“Sure thing!” Hibiki agreed.

Himari objected to Kirino’s time limit, but staying outside too long was indeed tough.

Even resting under the parasol, the two might get bored alone.

So, Kirino and Koharu decided to explore the beach.

“Guhehe!” Hibiki laughed.

“Hey!” Hiroyo exclaimed.

“You get it, right, Hiroyo?” Hibiki teased.

“Yeah, yeah!” Umirin echoed.

“Just give up. I’m first,” Hibiki said.

“Fine,” Hiroyo sighed.

Hibiki crawled toward Hiroyo, who was in swim trunks. Her position made her breasts appear larger.

Hibiki leaned close and kissed Hiroyo, then kissed his neck and chest, making smacking sounds.

Hiroyo lay on his back during the process.

Himari and Umirin approached, touching the areas Hibiki wasn’t.

Then, Hiroyo’s swim trunks were pulled down.

“Wow! Hiroyo’s ready!” Hibiki said excitedly.

Hiroyo, now aware of the situation, felt his lower body energize.

Meanwhile, Kirino and Koharu walked alone.

They thought they’d be approached by guys trying to pick them up, but surprisingly, no one did, and Koharu felt relieved.

At that moment, something caught their eye.

“That girl…” Koharu said.

While walking to buy soft-serve ice cream, they saw girls purchasing soft-serve.

One had light green hair, and Kirino and Koharu recognized her.

“Hm?” the girl said, noticing them.

She seemed startled, recognizing Kirino and Koharu, and ran toward them with soft-serve in hand.

“You’re the two from the Dungeon Tour, right? You carried me when I fainted…” the girl said.

“Yeah, it’s been a while!” Koharu replied.

“It’s been a long time,” Kirino added.

After greeting each other, the girl introduced herself.

They hadn’t had time for introductions during the chaotic Dungeon Tour, and afterward, she was busy with guild staff and police interviews.

“I’m Midori Hourai,” she said. “I’m a second-year high school student.”

“Wow, same age! I’m Koharu Kushima! And this is—” Koharu began.

“Kirino Hyoudou. Nice to meet you,” Kirino said.

Midori, as she called herself, had an air similar to Kirino’s—refined and polite. Her friends gave off the same vibe.

“Hyoudou… Kirino-san?” Midori asked.

“Yes… Do you know me?” Kirino replied.

“Of course! You’re famous in our industry!” Midori said.

“Famous…” Kirino repeated.

Kirino had previously shown recognition toward Midori. Now, Midori claimed to know Kirino.

Kirino looked at Midori curiously, and Midori explained.

“My father runs ‘Treasure Next,’ an entertainment agency for adventurers, and I’m his daughter,” Midori said.

“Oh…” Kirino responded.

“We’re partnered with the Adventurers’ Guild Association, and I’ve met your grandfather,” Midori added.

“I see…” Kirino said.

Kirino’s grandfather, Genroku Hyoudou, bragged about her everywhere.

He likely mentioned Kirino when dealing with ‘Treasure Next.’ Kirino might have been taken to social events and forgotten about it.

“You’re as beautiful as your grandfather said. I’m jealous,” Midori said.

“Can I call you Midori-chan?” Koharu asked.

“Yes, of course. I’ll call you Koharu-san and Kirino-san,” Midori replied.

“To me, Midori-chan seems pretty beautiful too,” Koharu said.

“Uh… thank you!” Midori stammered.
