Firework!

"..."

Everyone had to admit that Haru's body was so good that it made them flush instantly when they saw it.

"Haru, what's wrong with your chest?' Honoka asked, observing three large scars on Haru's chest.

Unlike Eli, Nozomi, and Maki, who knew about Haru's scars, the rest of the girls didn't know, and they were confused by the appearance of these large scars.

"It's just a scar. You don't need to worry that much," Haru said.

"Scar? From what?" Kotori was wondering how Haru could receive these scars.

"This..." Umi, who had returned, also observed Haru's scars and exclaimed, "Was it from a bear?"

"Bear?!"

They exclaimed at the same time.

"Cough! Cough!"

Haru coughed several times and said, "Anyway, I'm alright and well now, but I haven't put sunscreen on. How about you help me, Nozomi?" Even though he didn't need to put on sunscreen since mere sunlight wouldn't do a thing on his body, he felt that it might be quite necessary to put it on since if he didn't do that, he might have lost a chance to be touched by a girl.

"Good, let me help you!"

Nozomi smiled happily, but then she thought to make the situation more interesting.

"Everyone, Haru, is asking us to help him apply sunscreen on him!"

"Interesting, I will help!"

Eight girls rushed over in a swarm.

"....."

Haru was speechless and didn't expect that he would be molested on the beach chair this way.

Nozomi chuckled and said, "Being served by so many beautiful girls, you should thank me, Haru." She played with her tongue when no one could see her, except him could see her, trying to tempt him.

"......"

Haru was a normal man, and of course, it was normal for him to show a reaction, but he knew that he couldn't show it here since if he did so, he might scare everyone, so he gritted his teeth and waited until tonight so he could punish this girl for teasing him.

Nozomi smirked, took out the camera, and started to shoot. "This is a memorable day. Let's start shooting! By the way, everyone, put sunscreen on him slowly, remember to leave some spot for me!"

"Wait! You don't need to put some sunscreen on my butt! And don't shoot!"

The voices of laughter filled the beach, and Haru had to admit that even though he was molested, he would be lying if he wasn't happy.

It might be because the girls had an advantage in the numbers, so they were particularly bold.

If it was in a normal situation, they wouldn't dare to touch Haru's body, but this time, the nine people swarmed up and smeared Haru's body up and down.

Haru knew that the situation was out of control and was about to stop them, but Nozomi directly pulled his pants directly, showing his towering anaconda.

"What?!"

The eight girls instantly blushed and covered their eyes, though there was a huge gap between their fingers.

'So big...'

That was their thought at that moment.

"Nozomi!"

Haru pulled his pants directly and picked Nozomi, slapping her butts several times.

"Ahn! Haru! Lighter! Don't use too much force!"

"........"

Haru was wondering why when he slapped Nozomi's butts, she would be turned on, which made him helpless. He put her down with a helpless expression and took Nozomi's camera, taking the cameramen's duty.

Even though they were a bit shy after the sunscreen event, they didn't think too much afterwards since they were having a lot of fun splitting watermelons, playing with water, and making sandcastles.

The girls were doing their activities and playing around happily. Haru, on the other hand, recorded everything with his camera and had to admit that he might not forget this scene in his entire life.

The happy time passed very quickly, and when it was almost time for dinner, Maki volunteered to go shopping. Haru was about to say that he would go with her, but Nozomi stopped him.

"Haru, if I let you go with Maki, then I'm sure that you two might be late and enter the hotel," Nozomi said while squinting her eyes.

"Nozomi!" Maki was blushing when she heard Nozomi's words. She was also looking forward to being able to be with Haru, but she knew that she couldn't go out with him after Nozomi said those words, so in the end, both of her and Nozomi went out together to shop together.

"By the way, there is a motorcycle and a bicycle in the garage. You can use it if you want," Haru said.

"No, it's alright, we'll walk since the place isn't that far," Maki said.

"Yes, we can't ride motorcycles either." Nozomi was a bit interested when she heard about the motorcycle and thought to ask Haru to teach her later.

"Alright, be careful. If you need help, just call me," Haru said. He didn't need to worry too much about the safety of his two girlfriends since Japan was a peaceful country and a firearm was banned, so the crime was very low, and they were living in the rich area, so there was a lot of police patrolled around the area.

"Um." 2x

Nozomi and Maki nodded and walked out to shop.

Two people walked on the quiet street by the sea, Nozomi smiled gently, and she wore conservative clothes, which made her look angelic.

Maki, on the other hand, was wearing a casual lady suit with a golden belt around her waist. Her clothes had always been very fashionable, giving off her a cool image.

"Maki-chan, what do you think would happen if we didn't meet Haru?" Nozomi spoke suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

Maki was taken aback for a moment and then said, "Don't think about such a strange thing. Let's just go back quickly after we shop." Even though she knew that Haru was a bastard, she couldn't imagine the world without him since he had given her a lot of precious memories.

"If there's no Haru, it is uncertain whether all of us can be together or not, even if we're together, it is impossible to be as harmonious as we are now. For example, today, if there's no Haru, I might need to talk with you since because of your awkward personality, you might not be able to join and play happily with everyone like before."

"Who is awkward!"

Maki flushed and showed an annoyed expression.

"Well... if you weren't being dragged by Haru, Maki, would you build sandcastles and split a watermelon with us?"

"This... this kind of activity... I... I just feel that that kind of activity is too childish! It didn't have anything to do with my awkward personality!"

Nozomi chuckled and said, "Hehe, tsundere Maki is so cute! No wonder Haru is so smitten by you."

"Who is tsundere!? I am not tsundere! I will go shopping alone!"

Maki blushed like an apple and walked forward while lowering her head, only to stop after she banged her head on the utility pole since she didn't see forward.

"It hurts!!"

Maki cried, held her head, and squatted down since her forehead was quite hurt!

"Wow! Maki receive a divine punishment!" Nozomi exclaimed and laughed while covering her mouth.

"It's all because of you!"

Maki glared at Nozomi with tears in her eyes.

---

When Maki and Nozomi came back, Haru was surprised to see that Maki returned with a band-aid on her head.

"What happened?" Haru asked quickly.

"We met a bad guy on the street!" Nozomi said with an exaggerated tone.

"...."

Haru sighed in relief when he saw Nozomi's reaction since he knew that nothing had happened, but he needed to ask them. "Then?"

"Then we fought desperately against the bad guy and finally won!"

"It's amazing!"

Honoka and Rin exclaimed.

"I just accidentally hit the utility pole."

Maki couldn't bear to hear Nozomi's words anymore and dismantled her lie without mercy, so Nozomi received a lot of "boo" from everyone.

Next was the time to prepare dinner.

As expected, they prepared a BBQ, and everyone decided to eat it on the bench.

Haru was responsible for moving the things which were needed for the BBQ to the beach, and the girls were the ones who cooked the BBQ. Even though the girls knew that his cooking was great, they wanted to be the one who cooked for him after all since they knew that he had prepared everything for them, but during the dinner, suddenly they saw a beautiful spark in the night sky.

"It's a firework!" Rin jumped up cheerfully.

"I've heard that there are many shrines around this area, and there will be a firework show that is shot from time to time by the shrines around this area. I didn't expect that we would be so lucky to see it today."

A smile appeared on Eli's face.

"So pretty..."

Haru was also looking at the fireworks, but then, he felt something soft on his arm. He turned his head and saw Nozomi standing there, smiling mischievously, and put the finger on her mouth, gesturing him to keep quiet.

"Move closer, Haru," Nozomi said in a low voice.

Haru smiled and said, "You know... I won't forgive you so easily, even if you kiss me."

"Don't worry, I've prepared myself," Nozomi said with a smile, anticipating the time when everyone was sleeping.

When everyone was watching the fireworks, the lips of Nozomi and Haru touched each other, enjoying every moment together.
