Chapter Title: Private Beach Bliss
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1.
"Wow... the scenery is killer."
After getting their swimsuits fitted, they arrived at the seaside in the steady comfort of the carriage.
Siu stepped onto the private beach—a playground reserved for the bourgeoisie—for the first time and felt his chest swell with grandeur.
Sand whiter than salt stretched out beneath a sun blazing too hot for the season. A clear blue sky met the horizon, where waves broke with a pleasant crash. Just gazing at it all cleared his mind refreshingly.
"Talk about a real resort."
And the villa, just a 20-second stroll from the beach, was nothing to sneeze at either.
The two-story building was modest in size, about the same as the annex where Siu and Eloa stayed, but the entire seaward side was floor-to-ceiling glass.
"What is this, Dubai?"
"Sea! Sea! Sea!"
"Odet-ryu! Hyper boost!"
A rapid patter of footsteps left matching footprints racing side by side across the sand.
The twins shot past Siu on either side with a whoosh, abandoning their bags and charging straight into the ocean.
They plunged into waist-deep seawater without even bothering to change into swimsuits.
"Assistant! Hurry up! It's super refreshing!"
"Assistant, get in here too!"
Emerald waves buoyed their skirt hems like lotus petals on a pond.
The twins splashed about with beaming grins.
It was enough to draw involuntary smiles from Siu watching from afar—and even Sharon.
"Odil! Odet! You have to change first!"
"It's fine!"
"We brought clothes to change into!"
"They really love it."
"Yeah, like huskies in a snowstorm."
As he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Sharon, watching the twins, a memory from the modern world surfaced.
There had been that time when the twins visited briefly, and playing with them gave him the odd sensation of being a married couple.
It felt strangely similar now.
"Assistant!"
"Hurry up already!"
The twins splashed urgently to beckon him.
Siu flashed a wry smile and glanced at Sharon.
"Should I tell them to get in after changing?"
"Take the bags first. Looks like I need to wrangle the twins."
"Assiiiistaaaant!"
"Coming~ Let's go~"
Siu handed off the luggage to Sharon and leaped toward the gleefully splashing twins.
The water was delightfully cool.

"Yawwwn..."
Siu lounged on a sunbed under a parasol.
He was fully immersed in the resort vibes, sipping an ice-cold beer. The waves sounded great, the beer in the cool shade felt like it was freezing his insides in the best way, and the gentle salty breeze swaying through was perfection.
And the view? Spectacular.
Not just the natural beauty, but the heartwarming sight of the twins and Sharon splashing around joyfully—it was downright dazzling.
Flora had every right to brag.
He had no idea what swimsuits women wore back in the day, but she'd gifted each of them modern-style bikinis that wouldn't look out of place on a Florida beach.
First up, the twins.
Frilly tube-top bra bikinis. They toned down upper-body exposure while maintaining an air of elegance and grace.
Odil in black, Odet in white—nipping any black-or-white debate in the bud.
Next, Sharon.
A black monokini evoking a belly dancer's ornate costume. The natural navel-baring cut, the wire wrapping her back and waist. Fleeting glimpses of sideboob that captured the eye like a succubus's garb.
Unlike Siu, who had collapsed from exhaustion under the twins' sky-high energy, Sharon was still going strong, locked in a water fight with them.
"Ahaha, kids, cut it out!"
"Hyah! Hyah!"
"Odet-ryu, water cannon!"
"I said stop!"
The twins chased Sharon with sprays of water while she played along, fleeing with laughter.
They got on so well, they almost looked like triplets instead of twins.
Who knew they made such great playmates?
"Huh?"
Wasn't the scale getting a bit out of hand?
No telling who started it.
What began as simple hand-splashes had somehow escalated with mana thrown in.
Volleyball-sized water orbs floated around the twins before hurtling toward Sharon in unison.
Sharon dashed across the water's surface like solid ground, pulling off flashy evasion maneuvers.
She'd been teaching the twins elemental magic lately—maybe this was a playful lesson?
-Rumble...!
Suddenly, an earthquake-like tremor hit, and a shadow loomed.
A massive wall of seawater rose, big enough to swallow a whole building.
"I told you to stop!"
No way was there a random tsunami in Gehenna.
This was just an extension of their water play.
The towering wave crashed over the twins and Sharon, wrapping up the chaotic splash battle.
3.
"Salt water got in my nose..."
"It stings..."
"S-sorry, kids."
The twins, drenched from head to toe, flopped onto the sand and whined.
Sharon draped a massive towel over their shoulders with an apologetic look.
Things had gotten intense during play, but she hadn't meant to go that far.
She just wasn't used to spiking a 20th-circle spell on a whim, and without a wand or witch's robes to control it, she'd botched the power regulation.
In the end, Siu had to scoop the twins up with a ribbon just before they got swept out to sea and washed up in Border Town.
"Sharon sis, are you really sorry?"
"Yeah. I didn't plan on taking it this far. I'm truly sorry."
Still, these were the twins—full of affection, good and bad.
Sharon apologized honestly for her mistake.
"Then! Bring the picnic basket!"
"We packed tons of goodies! Let's eat together!"
"I'll get it."
As Siu started to rise, Sharon thrust out her arms and pushed him back onto the sunbed.
"No, I'll go. Be right back!"
She bolted off before he could protest.
The moment Sharon was out of sight, the twins sprang up like coiled springs, fatigue forgotten.
"Now's our chance, Odet!"
"Yeah! Sis!"
Odet and Odil dashed to their bags in the corner of the beach and unfurled a rolled-up sunbathing mat with a dramatic flourish across the sand.
Then they casually peeled off their bikini tops.
Peeling away the salt-soaked fabric revealed the twins' petite breasts.
It had been a while since he'd seen their perky swells, and they danced temptingly fresh before his eyes.
"What are you two doing right now?"
Topless out of nowhere.
By the time shocked Siu asked, the twins were already sliding prone onto the mattress.
"You can see! Assistant! Rub oil on us!"
"We're sunbathing!"
"This is way too sudden."
"We researched it with Odet—women with a nice even tan give off sexy appeal!"
"I've always wanted to try! Our masters did it every summer!"
The twins had their own ulterior motives.
A chance for natural skin-to-skin contact with the assistant, no suspicion aroused.
Sharon would definitely cockblock.
So send her away and wrap things up quick.
"Hurry~ Assistant~"
"If you don't get a move on, we'll dry out like jerky squid in the sun."
"Ugh, fine."
Odil and Odet pawed at the ground, kicking their feet in cute little swims.
Siu, succumbing to their aegyo, grabbed the prepared oil and plopped down beside them.
With the plan proceeding smoothly, the twins giggled to each other.
He started by pouring a long streak of oil across their bright backs.
True to twins, everything matched perfectly: size, area, even their prone pose and the protruding wingbones.
"Euu..."
"Huu..."
The sudden pour of oil made Odil and Odet shiver.
It must've been a bit cold.
"Ready?"
"All set."
"Me too!"
He rinsed the sand off his hands in the nearby water and placed them on Odil and Odet's backs.
No doing one before the other—that was a recipe for complaints.
-Twitch!
-Twitch!
The instant his hands met bare skin, Odil and Odet gave perfectly synchronized reactions.
Their relaxed postures stiffened up like he'd laid ice on them.
Even their toes pointed straight out like ballerinas.
-Swish swish swish
Siu alternated his hands, spreading the oil evenly from their waists up their spines and across their backs.
But maybe this wasn't something to take lightly.
The intimate press of palm against flesh was no joke.
And as the oil slicked over their white, supple skin, making it gleam, it stirred up all sorts of memories.
The twins usually felt like cute little sisters, but stripped down and seriously seducing? They wielded little-devil power.
When his hand brushed their sides—which didn't spill out even prone—Odil and Odet harmonized in low sighs.
"Haaang..."
"Hnng... Nn..."
"No weird noises."
"But it's been so long since your touch, Assistant."
"Yeah, you kneading our bodies like this... it's kinda naughty."
He'd suspected they were gunning for this from the start.
But damn, he kept touching.
The combo of vibrant skin and suntan oil assaulted his senses—hearing, touch, sight—with ruthless intensity.
"How's it feel for you, Assistant?"
"Like marinating a lukewarm steak in olive oil."
"...That's it? Don't you wanna go like this! Or that way!"
"Uh... um..."
"Sneak over to our room tonight... and we'll let you oil up other spots."
"We'll rub tons on you too, Assistant!"
And there it was.
Truth be told, he'd been meaning to talk to the twins about this.
Just hadn't found the right moment.
"Ahem. Odil, Odet—I have something to say."
At his cough, the twins twisted just their heads to gaze at him intently.
Their mystic purple eyes locked on, leaving Siu at a loss for words.
"W-well... um..."
Lonely abundance, empty with nowhere to lean. No one to talk to, no one who remembered him.
That's when he'd met Sharon.
It started as symbiosis with a debt-ridden Sharon, but sharing plates deepened their bond.
Now, if someone asked who his girlfriend was, Sharon would come to mind first—a huge part of his life.
Dragging out this ambiguous thing—what difference from cheating or playing the field?
He needed to sort out the vagueness...
"......"
"......"
But the words wouldn't come.
The twins had killer intuition.
Odil watched the speechless Siu with anxious, wavering eyes; Odet was on the verge of tears.
Back when Siu was still a slave, the twins had approached out of curiosity.
The relationship started forced, but surviving near-deaths together forged a bond thicker than slave and apprentice witch.
After breaking with Amelia, when he was half a wreck.
Odil's warm embrace.
Odet's thoughtful gift when he returned to the modern world.
He still remembered the twins' affections.
That's why he couldn't say it.
Cheating or harem-managing was immoral.
But drawing a line with twins who only had eyes for him? That felt crueler, more shameless.
Deciding was hell.
Couldn't he just make all three happy?
Only irresponsible thoughts surfaced.
"...For the BBQ tonight. I'll handle the grilling. I'm good with meat."
Siu sighed inwardly and put off the decision.
He'd have to consult Takasho seriously next visit.
Takasho would give solid advice.
"Y-yeah? Why say that with such a serious face..."
"Y-yeah... You scared us..."
As awkward smiles lingered...
"What are you girls doing?!"
Sharon, returning from afar with the picnic basket, spotted the topless twins sprawled out and came running in a panic.
