333 [333] Gabriel's Lack of Enthusiasm

Chapter 333: Gabriel's Lack of Enthusiasm

"Hmph."

Accompanied by a cold snort, Erina also approached Hachiman, followed by her diligent secretary, Hisako.

Compared to Alice, Erina opted for a more conventional two-piece swimsuit, but even so, it couldn't hide her voluptuous figure.

"Erina looks great too," Hachiman praised.

Upon hearing his compliment, Erina's expression improved significantly. But before she could respond, Hachiman spoke again.

"Hisako looks beautiful too."

This made Erina feel a bit frustrated.

This jerk, does he think every girl is beautiful in his eyes?

Is he face-blind or something?

And when she remembered how Hachiman had been ogling Alice's chest earlier, she became even more annoyed.

"Hmph, pervert, I don't need your compliments."

Rolling her golden hair, Erina walked away from Hachiman with an air of dignity, and Hisako naturally followed her mistress.

Originally, Alice wanted to stay by Hachiman's side, but unfortunately, she was dragged away by Erina.

In the words of the girl, it was to prevent Alice from doing anything that would disgrace the Nakiri family.

Seeing Erina leave in anger, Hachiman was somewhat puzzled.

If he knew what the girls were thinking just now, he would definitely feel unjustly accused.

After all, the girls on the beach right now were all exceptionally beautiful, even by the standards of the 2D world's average beauty.

If beauty were rated out of 100, they would all score at least 90 points.

Among them, the more outstanding ones could even score above 95 points.

Such as Yukino, Erina, and the others...

Women are truly the most incomprehensible creatures in the world.

Watching the departing girls, Hachiman muttered to himself.

After Erina and her group left, three more girls appeared in his sight.

Just then, Utaha, Saeko, and Kotonoha walked towards Hachiman together.

Hmmmm...

What should this group be called?

Since all three have had close interactions with him, let's call them the "Close Interaction Group."

It's not surprising that Saeko and Kotonoha are with him; after all, they often practice kendo together and engage in enjoyable activities.

But why is Utaha with them?

And they seem to be chatting and laughing as if they've been close friends for years.

Given Utaha's personality, this shouldn't be happening.

Could it be that the girls really fell for my charm?

Hachiman felt a sense of accomplishment.

After all, as the saying goes, "Only a hardworking ox, not a well-tilled field." Now, this ox has managed to till the field, which should give any man a sense of achievement.

All three are of the voluptuous type, and as they walked past Hachiman, he once again indulged in a feast for his eyes.

Especially Utaha, the enchantress, who even threw him a flirtatious glance as she passed by.

This made Hachiman have to take a deep breath to calm his excitement.

After all, he was only wearing swim trunks, and if he got too excited and something popped up, it wouldn't be good.

Although there were no other boys around here to make him feel inferior, if he were to stand at attention, he would undoubtedly be scorned by the girls.

As the Utaha trio passed by, the swimsuit fashion show came to a temporary end.

Just then, Komachi and Kokoro approached.

"Onii-chan, what should we play?"

"Yeah, Hachiman-niisan, let's play together."

Seeing these two little radishes, Hachiman couldn't help but feel a headache.

Actually, he came to the beach mainly to see the girls in swimsuits, not to play anything.

I believe other boys who come to the beach are the same.

But Komachi and Kokoro certainly wouldn't let him just sit there; otherwise, how could they create opportunities?

With no other choice, Hachiman had to resort to brainstorming and asked the girls around him.

"Do you have any ideas for what to play?"

But before the other girls could speak, Gabriel, sitting under the umbrella, spoke up first.

"You guys go ahead and play; don't mind me."

Seeing her like this, Vignette sighed.

"Gab, it's rare to come to the beach. Why don't you try playing instead of staying under the umbrella?"

"Compared to being exposed to the sun, I still think it's more fun to play games under the umbrella." Gabriel's tone was tinged with apathy.

"Why don't you give it a try? There are many fun things at the beach." Vignette hadn't given up persuading her.

"Like what?" Gabriel asked.

"Uh? Well..."

Vignette was momentarily at a loss for words, but suddenly, Satania, who was sitting nearby, sparked with competitiveness.

"Since that's the case, Gabriel, let me tell you about the fun things at the beach. If you find it enjoyable, you must obediently join us in swimming."

In response to Satania's imposing words, Gabriel simply looked at her with a calm expression.

"Very well, as long as you can deliver."

"Hehe, just wait and see. So, let me go first." This idiot came to the beach feeling triumphant and took out her inflatable dolphin.

"I'll teach you surfing, something I found very interesting when I saw it on TV before."

"Huh? Surfing? Isn't that a bit too difficult?" Vignette expressed concern.

But Satania didn't care at all. Holding onto the inflatable dolphin, she went to a shallow area of the sea.

She wobbled onto the dolphin, then, in front of everyone, fell into the water.

Luckily, it was a shallow area, so the idiot quickly resurfaced, lying on the dolphin, spitting out seawater, and saying something like "So salty."

Seeing this scene, everyone felt helpless, and Komachi even muttered quietly to herself.

"This sister doesn't seem too bright after all."

Meanwhile, Gabriel, sitting under the umbrella, looked unsurprised, as expected.

"I guess sitting here and playing games is more interesting after all."

"Don't give up, Gab. It's my turn next," Vignette quickly spoke up.

Gabriel didn't refuse her good friend.

"Alright, Vigne, what do you want to do?"

"Well, you don't necessarily have to go into the sea when you come to the beach. There are also many fun things to do on the beach itself."

"Such as?"

"Building sandcastles is fun too."

With that, Vignette started to act, kneeling on the sand and starting to build sandcastles, while giving tips on how to build them.

Like spraying water while building to make it stick, and carefully shaping the sand step by step.

Although the girl was enthusiastic, unfortunately, one sentence from Gabriel extinguished her spirit.

"How childish."
