The tailor arrived at Duke's grand mansion to personally hand over the swimsuit that had been custom-made for Ira just a few days prior. Even though it was originally planned for Sin and Ira, the esteemed customers, to visit the cloth-making shop to collect their order, the tailor took it upon herself to ensure the delivery.
Rica, a well-known tailor, had previously visited this house, which made it convenient for her to visit the mansion. There were two distinct factors that led her to come here on her own accord. Firstly, Sin, who was from the highest-rank noble house in the entire Kingdom, felt it would reflect poorly on his status if he personally went to collect the tailored product.
The second rationale behind her decision was her intriguing curiosity about the existence of a swimming pool, as it served as the primary motivation for the creation of this attire. Prior to this, she had never come across the concept of a designated pool for swimming, as individuals typically refrained from bathing in stagnant bodies of water due to the potential presence of mysterious and ominous creatures dwelling within.
When Rica expressed her curiosity about the pool, Sin readily agreed to accompany her and show it to her. Leading both Ira and Rica towards the pool area, Sin eagerly took them to its front. As Rica caught sight of the pool, she couldn't help but feel a wave of astonishment washing over her. The pool sparkled with crystal clarity, captivating her senses. Sin, fully prepared to take a plunge into the refreshing waters, had already dressed himself in swimming trunks and a lightweight T-shirt, reflecting his anticipation and eagerness to dive in.
Rica's curiosity was piqued by Sin's unique fashion sense, as she had never witnessed individuals flaunting such extravagant attire while walking. Sin's remarkable genetic makeup further enhanced his appearance, complementing his fashion choices effortlessly. Additionally, his recently acquired muscle mass served to heighten his overall attractiveness, leaving a lasting impression on those around him.
Sin approached the handle positioned next to the sparkling swimming pool, specifically designed with a miniature set of stairs for diving purposes. As he effortlessly glided through the water, a sense of pure comfort and tranquility enveloped him, captivating the attention of his two companions and igniting a desire within them to also take a plunge into the inviting pool.
Upon hearing Ira's desire to join him in swimming and her promise to return soon, Sin politely requested that she refrain from doing so. He then resurfaced and skillfully, in the blink of an eye, constructed a charming one-room cottage using his unique wood crafting techniques. Witnessing this impressive display of magical craftsmanship left both Ira and Rica speechless, their jaws dropping in amazement.
Sin comforted Ira, assuring her that she could freely change her outfit within the confines of the wooden house without any concern for prying eyes from the outside. Ira, intrigued by Sin's words, approached the house and gently ran her fingers along its surface, remarking that it remarkably resembled an authentic wooden abode. Rica, witnessing Ira's actions, decided to mimic her and also reached out to touch the enchanted structure. In awe, she expressed her admiration for its practical and valuable magical properties.
Rica's thoughts were abruptly interrupted as she suddenly recalled that Sin's level was merely at level 1. Puzzled, she couldn't help but wonder how he managed to use that ability. Nevertheless, she refrained from questioning him about it, suspecting that it might be connected to the intricate realm of noble's politics. Contemplating her next move, Rica mustered the courage and inquired of Sin whether it would be possible for her to join them for swimming in the pool too.
Sin assured her that it was not an issue at all. However, the crucial question remained: did she actually possess the swimsuit? With a cheerful grin, Rica reached into her bag and retrieved the second swimsuit. Although it shared similar fabrics with Ira's, it sported a distinct design. It became evident that this was not the suit they had initially purchased.
Sin grinned and expressed her preparedness, assuring them that she had arrived fully equipped. Instructing them to proceed with the change of attire within the wooden of the house, both individuals promptly made their way there. Rica couldn't help but feel an overwhelming stroke of good fortune as she realized she would be sharing the very same changing room as one of the esteemed daughters from the Duke's household.
Ira expressed her admiration for the well-designed room, mentioning that there was even a table where one could enjoy a leisurely tea. She added that if they were outside, a mini house like this would have been an ideal vacation spot where they could spend hours. Following this, Ira decided to change into her swimsuit. Despite feeling a sense of strangeness, she did not feel uncomfortable. Ira then confided in Rica, mentioning that she possessed a good hand.
Rica felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment upon hearing those words from her. In response, she quickly explained to her that her occupation revolved around providing such services, and she consistently exerted her utmost effort to ensure that her clients' expectations were not only met but exceeded as well.
Both individuals stepped out of the wooden house and were greeted by Sin, who observed them with a critical eye, assessing their appearance and demeanor. After a moment, he snapped back to the present moment, bringing himself back to reality. Without hesitation, both of them plunged into the refreshing waters of the swimming pool. Initially, their bodies were tense and rigid, but as they allowed themselves to unwind and let go, a comforting sensation washed over them, and they found themselves thoroughly enjoying the pool. Little did they realize in the past that the experience of swimming could be so exhilarating and pleasurable.
As they joyfully swam, their faces beamed with happiness, and Sin couldn't help but feel a deep sense of accomplishment. After indulging in the refreshing water for about thirty minutes, both girls emerged from the pool, their bodies glistening with droplets of water. Meanwhile, Sin had already exited the pool earlier, finding solace on a comfortable deck chair typically found on sandy shores or beside luxurious swimming pools. Unsurprisingly, this particular deck chair was fashioned in Sin's signature wood style, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication.
Beside the chair, there is an additional presence of an umbrella and a table. The refreshing beverage that he was indulging in happened to be a tangy and invigorating lime juice, thoughtfully prepared by the diligent maids who had been educated on the art of concocting this simple yet delightful recipe by none other than himself. In this vast and complex world, where countless beverages exist, there are primarily two distinct categories that dominate the realm of quenching one's thirst: water, a fundamental necessity for survival, and alcohol, a beverage with its own unique allure and effects. However, it is worth noting that the concept of juice, a harmonious blend of natural flavors and wholesome goodness, was a relatively unfamiliar territory for the individuals present in this particular setting.
After Sin presented them with two sets of deck chairs, tables, and umbrellas that looked like Sin's set, they eagerly made their way to the area and reclined on the comfortable chairs. As they settled in, they couldn't help but notice the inviting atmosphere around them. Taking a sip of their refreshing juice, they couldn't believe how luxurious and indulgent this experience felt, surpassing any level of comfort they had ever encountered before.
