Chapter 145: Making swimsuits and arrival of the storm

The following day, having lost the bet with Tobi, I logged in alongside Riizu.

I spread out the tools I needed on top of the tatami mat of the room we were borrowing and took out the necessary materials I got from the trading BBS.

I had already explained that I had lost a bet and had no choice but to make female swimsuits.

Sadly, they are not sold in shops.

As for the reason as to why I told Riizu first…my instincts told me that I was in danger and I should do it.

Things actually went relatively well so…it was probably the correct choice.

「That being said, I’ll put on gloves and start working on them so…could you help me out with the finer details?」(Hind)

「I don’t mind, but why? Why don’t you just do it barehanded-」(Riizu)

「You, would you want to wear a swimsuit that’s been touched all over by a guy? Particularly, the interior cloth.」(Hind)

「…?」(Riizu)

Eh, why is she not getting what I’m saying?

Riizu tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.

At that moment, she took the hat that was falling off in her hands and sat down close to me in seiza style.

「Hind-san, you’ll be the one making them right?」(Riizu)

「You can tell just by looking right? I’ll do it as best as I can while wearing gloves.」(Hind)

「Would there be a problem if you did it barehanded?」(Riizu)

「…I get it, my wording was bad. If Tobi were to make Riizu’s swimsuit while barehanded-」(Hind)

「Definitely not!」(Riizu)

Yup, she already knew what I was talking about. Also, Tobi, I’m sorry for using you as an example.

Even if Riizu was fine with it because she’s family, it doesn’t mean that the other members will be fine with it right?

Supplementing my explanation with these new details, it seemed like Riizu finally understood what was going on.

「If that’s the case. I understand.」(Riizu)

「There will be a lot of parts where it’ll be hard to work with gloves. I’m counting on you.」(Hind)

「Understood. However, it’s ok if Hind-san makes mine while barehanded you know?」(Riizu)

「Huh? No, but you know…」(Hind)

「It’s OK, you know?」(Riizu)

「…Well, if you are fine with it.」(Hind)

That being the case, having gained Riizu’s cooperation, I started making the swimsuits.

Even if I say that, it’s not like they are hard to make.

I had already procured the type of cloth called 『Serge』, that made it so they wouldn’t become see-through even if they became wet, from the trading BBS.

The reason the blueprints for the swimsuits became available was because I had previously made this type of cloth back in Sala.

This is all your fault, past me…thanks to you, things have turned troublesome.

「That being said, there’s quite a variety of swimsuits in this game. Riizu, which one do you think would be best to make? For the time being, choose yours first.」(Hind)

「Ah, in that case, this one-piece with frills in the chest area. Or, this Bandeaukini.」(Riizu)

「…OK.」(Riizu)

Both of them are types that make it so you can cover the size of your breast…no, let’s stop there.

As a brother, one has to silently support his sister when she’s making an effort.

「What about the other members?」(Hind)

「Secchan is quite shy, so one that has little exposure. How about this skirt type one-piece with its pleasant design?」(Riizu)

「Oh, I see. This makes it look like they are normal clothes. In that case, let’s make a straw hat as a bonus.」(Hind)

In terms of timing, I explained the situation to Riizu yesterday evening after we logged out.

Then, Riizu sent emails to the girls during the day and somehow, everyone said that they would come.

They also gave the go ahead to the swimsuits and playing on the beach.

Be it yesterday or today, everyone sure is in good spirits…if this was the case, maybe there was no need to rush here in such a hurry?

「In regards to the members of Baby Bird…well, they are middle schoolers so I think something more tame is better.」(Riizu)

「This one, eh, were they called Tankinis? How about these?」(Riizu)

I asked her as I pointed at the image in the blueprint.

A tankini is a type of swimsuit that puts a tank top and a bikini bottom together.

If I made the bottom part have less exposure it would make it so that the whole thing was more tame?

「They also cover the stomach after all. Other than that, there’s the competition swimsuits and the school swimsuits.」(Riizu)

「…Are you even thinking about things seriously? Competition swimsuits would be one thing but school swimsuits…

Though they might be accustomed to them because they are middle schoolers.」(Hind)

「It would be quite boring to make the same thing over and over. In the worst case, we’ll decide who wears which one with rock paper scissors.」(Riizu)

Now that I think about it, since all of them are made from the blueprints, the size will be irrelevant no matter who wears which…

It’s not like I don’t understand the feeling of getting tired of making the same thing.

…Oh, now that I think about it, we haven’t thought about one for her.

「In that case, what about Yumir’s?」(Hind)

「…」(Riizu)

Because of my question, Riizu, who had been smoothly answering my questions so far, approached me silently with furrowed brows.

「…Wouldn’t it be fine to just make her wear a bikini? Sigh…」(Riizu)

「Hey, you suddenly just replied with no motivation. Well, she has a good figure so I guess a bikini would suit her though.」(Hind)

「For the most part, anything would suit that girl. If we were to go to an extreme, wouldn’t she be able to wear anything other than girly clothes?」(Riizu)

Is that so? Girlish clothes…it’s true that I think she herself mentioned a while back that she was sad that cute type clothes didn’t suit her.

I guess one can’t have it all.

In that case a bikini…this one that comes with hot pants should be fine.

It probably would fit her since she’s so energetic.

「With this, we have decided which ones to make. Huh…guess I’ll start making the male ones first quickly. I’ll get used to handling the Serge with that, so go prepare the materials and wait for me.」(Hind)

「Let’s make Hind-san’s a speedo.」(Riizu)

「Why!? Who would be interested in that!?」(Hind)

「Me.」(Riizu)

「No way! I’ll go with normal trunks.」

Due to my words, Riizu’s mouth morphed showing her displeasure.

When it comes down to things like speedos, I’ve only ever seen them being used in competitive environments you know?

Even though I’ve known her for so long, lately, I’ve been unable to understand the way of thinking of my sister…I wonder why.

After that, I made swimwear for me and Tobi. Then, I proceeded to manufacture the girls’ swimsuits as stated in the blueprint with Riizu’s help.

Because of the fact that the size of the swimsuits in the blueprints were of the average height of a Japanese female, they will shrink down when equipped by the members that are shorter than average.

For some reason, I can only feel that it’s a waste to lose the materials used when the final item will shrink.

For people that have better physique than average, you might be able to save materials if you make them according to the blueprint instead of making your own arranged version.

「Then, you place the needle on this-」(Hind)

「Like this?」(Riizu)

「That’s right. You are doing really well.」(Hind)

「Oh? I’m sensing someone!」(Riizu)

Suddenly the sliding doors opened violently from both sides and a Fox mask wearing woman rudely entered the room.

Kitsune-san got closer without a care and peered at what I had on my hands.

Seeing her actions, we just stood there frozen in place with our mouths open.

「What are you doing? True Self, eh…and little witch! Uwah, you are so small and cute! I just want to hug you!」(Kitsune)

「L-Little Witch? You mean me?」(Riizu)

「What you say, just as you can see, I’m making swimsuits…」(Hind)

「Swimsuits? Why are you doing that? Tell me, tell me! Tell Kitsune onee-san!」(Kitsune)

Being pressured so vigorously, I told kitsune-san that we were going to go play at the beach.

Once I did, having heard about the situation, she vigorously stood up and said.

「At the sea inside the game? Playing on the beach!? That sounds so fun! Wait a moment, I’ll join too! I’ll go gather the members that are logged in and ask the craftsmen guild to make swimsuits for us!」(Kitsune)

Like that, with speed that was higher than the one she came inside with, she left the guild home while bumping into the wall.

So loud, and I guess she’s quick on her feet?

Riizu and I, who had stayed behind, just stood there dumbfounded while staring at the door she had gone through.

「She’s like a storm…」(Riizu)

「I-I don’t think she’s a bad person…probably.」(Hind)

It’s just that…I can’t help but say that she has bad manners.

Even if we are the ones in their debt for having borrowed this room, for her to just open the sliding door without asking for permission first and leave it open when she left…

I closed the sliding door and sat back at my original position, for the time being, I decided to just finish making the swimsuits with Riizu’s help.
