For the time being, since changing in front of someone isn't something I should do, I went around to the back of the locker to change my clothes. The swimsuit that was given to me was a trunks-type swimsuit, so it was easy to change into it.
When I finished changing and closed the locker, I found that Illness-san had also finished changing... She had taken off her earlier clothes and was now wearing a swimsuit, and when I saw her, I involuntarily stiffened.
In the first place, a situation like this where Illness-san would wear a swimsuit was extremely rare. Illness-san is someone who would usually wear clothes that didn't reveal much skin, so the gap between her current state and the usual Illness-san was quite large.
Moreover, she was wearing a black bikini, a simple yet eye-catching swimsuit, which made it difficult for me to keep my composure.
Illness-san is quite short in height. With a height of about 130 cm, it may be rude of me to say this, but she's as short as an elementary schooler.
Normally, a woman of such height wearing such a swimsuit would really look immoral, but Illness-san didn't give me that impression at all.
Rather, she exuded mature sexiness and charm. Perhaps it's her calm atmosphere and elegant bearing that makes it so... It's like, she's beautiful no matter what.
[...Ah, errr... Ummm, Illness-san. Your swimsuit really suits you, you look beautiful.]
[Kuhihi, thank you for the complimeeeent~~ This is the first time I'm wearing thiiiiis, so I was a bit worriiiiiied, but I'm glad that there doesn't seem to be a probleeeeem.]
[Eh? First time?]
[Yeeees. I don't usually have the opportunity to wear it.]
Now that she mentioned it, she probably wouldn't wear a swimsuit unless she went to the beach to play. From my point of view, swimsuits were something I was familiar with because schools had swimming classes and I recognize that swimming is suitable for leisure in the sea.
However, in this world, it's possible that some people aren't involved with swimsuits at all. Illness-san is over 20,000 years old, but this is her first time wearing a swimsuit...
Well, in the first place, even if people here need to swim, magic exists in this world, so they could just make it so that their clothes won't get wet, and I don't know if people of Illness-san's level even need to know how to swim. It should be possible for her to create a sphere of air and move in water as Shiro-san did, or even simply walk on water.
[Arehh? But that would mean... You prepared this swimsuit for this matter?]
[Yeeeees. It took me a while to make it while looking at the reference materiaaaaaals, so I ended up making you waaaaaaait.]
[...Ah, you made it just now.]
When she talked about making preparations for the Relaxation Room, she meant making the swimsuit for the rule in this place is gonna take time huh...
No, but looking at her again, she looks amazing... Beautiful white skin that hasn't been tanned at all, a bulging chest that wasn't too big nor too small, and slender and beautiful legs... She looked so beautiful that it was a bit too stimulating.
[Howeveeeer~~ This is my first tiiiiiime exposing this much skiiiiin, so I'm a bit embarraaaaaassed.]
Saying that, Illness-san smiled with a slight blush on her cheeks, and my thoughts were blown away by her charm. Isn't that foul play? Illness-san, who is usually mature and calm, showed a faintly embarrassed face that held destructive power that was beyond description.
[Well theeeen, shall we go iiiiin?]
[Eh? Ah, y- yes! Let's go.]
[Kaito-samaaaa, are you perhaaaaaps nervous?]
[Y- Yes, Illness-san, wearing a swimsuit, looked so charming...]
[Oya?]
[...Ahh.]
Wait a moment, what did I just say? I felt like, while I still haven't regained my composure, I just blurted out something extremely embarrassing...
Even if I regret it now, I can't take back the words I said. Thinking that I might have made her pull away, I slowly turned to Illness-san, who seemed to be happily smiling.
[Kaito-samaaaa, do you find meeeee attractive as a womaaaaan?]
[Eh? Of course, Illness-san is beautiful and mature... I think you're very attractive as a woman.]
[Kuhihi, is that sooooo... It's a bit unexpecteeeeed. Howeveeeeer, that in itself makes me happyyyyy.]
Illness-san's expression as she said that, how should I say this... She looked elegant and beautiful at the same time, giving me the strong impression that she was an adult woman.
I thought that having got lovers, I would have already gotten used to dealing with women, but my heart couldn't help but beat strangely fast. In terms of atmosphere, Sieg-san would be the one closest to hers, but she just feels more mature than Sieg-san... I mean, she really feels like a lady I look up to.
Even before I took a bath, I was wondering if I was gonna be alright being in this state, and just to keep the blood from gathering in my lower body, I desperately kept my thoughts running.
