Chapter 124: Utaha Wants to Stir Things Up
"Ugh..."
With a disgruntled expression, Alice, accompanied by the absent-minded Ryo Kurokiba, strolled toward the shoreline, leaving behind her mother's unyielding indifference.
"Truly hopeless with her. Ryo-kun, let's go."
Her mother's behavior was simply exasperating, and Alice had decided to seek out Erina.
"La la la, young and robust lads, it's been a while since I've seen any," Leonora mused, propping her chin up with one hand, her words carrying a certain suggestive tone.
At this juncture, everyone had congregated on the beach.
Observing the girls grouped in pairs or threes, Hachiman also rose and headed toward the sea.
As he walked along the shore, the fine sand beneath his feet felt neither rough nor abrasive but rather soft, akin to a comfortable quilt.
Standing by the sea and gazing into the distance, the water and sky seemed to meld into one, with a faintly saline sea breeze wafting over, generating frothy waves that crashed upon nearby rocks, shattering like scattered jade.
Some girls were playfully chasing each other, while others huddled together in whispered conversation. Some lay on lifebuoys to rest, each one savoring the enchanting moments bestowed by this picturesque beach.
The melodious laughter of the girls was a delight to the ears, and their swimsuit-clad figures were truly a sight to behold.
It was undeniably a paradise for any man by the sea, a place where one could openly revel in the timeless beauty of the surroundings. The captivating forms of a dozen or so girls unfolded one by one before Hachiman's eyes, making the journey to the beach thoroughly worthwhile.
Entertainment options at the beach were rather straightforward, revolving around swimming, sandcastle building, and beach volleyball.
Swimming required no further elaboration. In the midst of this scorching summer, submerging oneself in the refreshing sea was an undoubted pleasure.
Playing in the sand encompassed either burying friends in the soft grains or constructing intricate sandcastles.
The girls, in high spirits, were fully embracing their beach experience. Some frolicked in pursuit of each other, while others formed tight-knit circles to share secrets. A select few reclined on lifebuoys, each one cherishing the idyllic moments on the beach.
As for beach activities, the options remained limited—swimming, sandcastle building, and beach volleyball. And to clarify, beach volleyball referred to the genuine sport played with an actual beach ball, not any peculiar spherical objects.
For example, Yui and Yumiko engaged in a playful water fight, splashing each other with abandon. The glistening droplets cascading down their figures accentuated their graceful curves.
Alice chose to venture into the sea, seemingly channeling her frustrations toward her mother. Meanwhile, Ryo Kurokiba sat idly by the shoreline, seemingly lost in his own thoughts.
Erina and Hisako found relaxation in their swim rings, savoring their leisurely time.
Komachi and Kokoro knelt in the sand, diligently sculpting intricate sandcastles. Meanwhile, Kotonoha offered guidance, her occasional bending over to refine the sandcastle's details becoming a focal point.
In that very moment, the girl's alluring curves were positioned directly within Hachiman's line of sight, their enticing roundness akin to ripe peaches.
Sensing Hachiman's gaze, Kotonoha blushed and quickly adjusted her posture to a more demure one, crossing her legs.
"What's the matter, Onee-san?" Kokoro inquired, noticing her sister's peculiar reaction.
"N-Nothing," she stammered in response to her younger sister's question, still feeling a lingering sense of embarrassment.
Kokoro, mildly perplexed by her sister's earlier behavior, resumed constructing their sandcastle.
However, her curiosity got the better of her when she noticed Hachiman's gaze directed their way. A knowing expression briefly crossed her face, but without overtly acknowledging it, she refocused on their sandy creation.
Meanwhile, Hachiman felt somewhat at a loss, uncertain of his next move. It was at that precise moment that Utaha approached him with a leisurely stride. In her hand, she held a bottle of sunscreen, her eyes glinting mischievously as she smiled and said, "Hachiman-kun, would you be so kind as to help me with some sunscreen?"
Sunscreen was an absolute necessity when spending time at the beach, guarding the skin against the harsh sun's rays. The intense beachside sunlight only made its application all the more vital. While it might seem like she was requesting assistance, it was more akin to asking for a favor.
A woman asking a man to apply sunscreen was often seen as an opportunity to get a little closer and engage in some playful teasing. Nonetheless, it was a request that proved difficult to decline.
The mischievous glint in the girl's eyes left no doubt that she harbored plans for some playful mischief, and when it came to the application of sunscreen, it was a request that bordered on the irresistible.
In that moment, the other girls remained deeply engrossed in their own pleasures, with only a few casting intermittent glances in their direction.
"Very well," Hachiman's response carried an unspoken message: "I won't shy away from a touch of audacity."
Utaha couldn't help but be mildly taken aback by his immediate agreement. She had anticipated Hachiman might decline her request.
Yet, given that the words were already spoken, and in light of her own personality, she had no intention of backing down. She reclined on a nearby beach chair, deftly unfastening the straps, her cheeks bearing a faint blush as she spoke.
"Come on, Hachiman."
Clutching the sunscreen, she strolled over to the beach chair's side, regarding him from a higher vantage point.
Her skin was as smooth and fair as condensed milk, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her chest, unveiling her flawless back. Below that lay a slender waist, followed by the alluring roundness of her buttocks, and ultimately, her curvaceous, well-toned thighs. There was not a hint of excess fat on her graceful figure.
Observing this tableau, Hachiman couldn't help but appreciate the wisdom of reserving a private beach. If others were to witness this spectacle, he would undoubtedly find himself in an uncomfortable predicament.
With the girl lying face down, her bosom gently pressed against the sand, the alluring sight was further accentuated.
"Hachiman, have you seen enough? Please assist me with the sunscreen. I really want to avoid getting sunburned," Utaha said, her cheeks tinted with a faint blush as she sensed Hachiman's gaze. At this juncture, she couldn't help but feel a tad bashful. After all, she was a seasoned pro when it came to playful teasing.
"Of course," Hachiman agreed.
With a nod, Hachiman proceeded to rub the sunscreen between his hands. As he contemplated the prospect of applying this creamy lotion to the girl's body, a subtle sense of anticipation coursed through him.
After a moment of gentle rubbing, Hachiman positioned his hands on Utaha's back.
"Ah..." Barely making contact with Utaha's back, she released a seductive moan.
"Hachiman, it's a bit cool. Please go slower," she quivered as she spoke.
"Alright, I'll be more deliberate," Hachiman affirmed, his hands moving with gentleness along her back.
Utaha had little choice but to remain still on the beach chair, permitting him to continue. Yet, as Hachiman's hands traversed her back, a peculiar notion began to form in her mind.
Even though she was feeling embarrassed, she also wanted him to continue touching her...
On Hachiman's side, he couldn't suppress a sense of quiet satisfaction. He had to concede that the girl's skin was exceptional—exquisitely smooth and silky to the touch, akin to the finest silk. Applying sunscreen to her was akin to a luxurious experience.
Soon, her back was adequately coated with sunscreen, and he was poised to shift to a different area.
"Utaha, I'm moving to another area now."
"Okay..."
With the girl's acquiescence, Hachiman's hands embarked on a journey downward, swiftly arriving at her slender waist.

Chapter 125: Drowning Alice
As his hand gently grazed Utaha's waist, she suddenly shuddered and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Hachiman, th-this... there's no need to wipe here, I'll take care of it myself later."
Observing this reaction, a subtle smile curled at the corner of Hachiman's mouth. It appeared that Utaha's waist was a sensitive area for her.
This newfound knowledge was valuable, and Hachiman felt compelled to jot it down in his mental notebook promptly.
Having identified this particular sensitivity of Utaha's, Hachiman didn't linger there. His hands continued their descent, eventually brushing over her buttocks before reaching her most prized possession: her legs.
Undoubtedly, her legs were one of Utaha's greatest assets. The proportions of her thighs to calves were flawless, and even without stockings, they felt silky-smooth and tender to the touch.
While her thighs possessed a plump and rounded charm, they also retained an underlying bone structure, providing a delightful tactile experience to Hachiman.
Unintentionally, Hachiman incorporated subtle massage techniques into his caresses, further enhancing the sensation.
A familiar sound echoed in his mind, signaling the activation of the [Massage Module], but Hachiman chose to ignore it, continuing to massage Utaha.
As Hachiman's hands continued their work, Utaha gradually acclimated to his touch. An unprecedented wave of pleasure coursed through her, prompting her to close her eyes and savor the sensations.
Witnessing the girl's blissful reaction, a mischievous idea crossed Hachiman's mind.
As he meticulously applied sunscreen to her inner thigh, his index finger grazed over the alluring territory hidden beneath her swimsuit.
This unexpected touch caused Utaha, still lost in pleasure, to tremble involuntarily. When she turned to look, all she encountered was Hachiman's determined expression as he diligently continued applying sunscreen. Her feelings became tinged with a hint of doubt.
After a while, Hachiman had thoroughly applied sunscreen to Utaha Kasumigaoka's legs. Despite being caressed by Hachiman's hands, Utaha's face still held a lingering blush. However, her mischievous spirit hadn't waned.
"Hachiman-kun, would you like to help me with the front?"
Still in the mood for a little mischief?
Well, I'm not one to back down.
Hachiman raised an eyebrow, ready to agree, but his attention was abruptly drawn to a startled cry from Erina.
"Alice!"
Turning swiftly, he saw Alice, who had been swimming in the sea just moments ago, now thrashing about desperately. Her body bobbed up and down in the water, displaying clear signs of impending drowning.
Erina swiftly tossed her lifebuoy in Alice's direction, but the panicked girl appeared completely unaware of the lifesaver just a meter or two away from her.
Meanwhile, Ryo, who had been seated on the beach, sprang up urgently and dashed toward the shore, clearly intent on entering the water to rescue her.
But someone was swifter.
Hachiman, who had been applying sunscreen to Utaha just moments before, reacted like an arrow released from a bow.
In the blink of an eye, he covered the twenty-meter distance and reached the shore. Without hesitation, he launched himself into the water, moving with the grace of a fish as he rapidly swam toward Alice, who was struggling in the water.
Thanks to the swimming classes commonly offered in Japanese schools, Hachiman had already developed his "Swimming" skills. Over the past few months, his proficiency had risen to almost Level 4.
In no time, he reached Alice's submerged position ahead of Ryo. Holding his breath, he dove down and, with enhanced vision, easily located the slowly sinking girl. He coordinated his limbs to swim closer to her.
Upon reaching her, he encircled her waist with his arms, simultaneously kicking his legs and propelling them toward the surface. Breaking through the water's surface, Hachiman gasped for air and glanced at Alice. To his concern, she had lost consciousness. Without hesitation, he initiated a swift swim back to the shore.
Reaching the shore, he gently laid Alice down on the sand.
By now, the other girls who had been playing around had rushed over in a panic.
"Give me some space," Hachiman shouted, stopping them from crowding around.
The girls immediately halted their steps, creating space for the two of them.
Alice had lost consciousness, and time was of the essence. Hachiman quickly initiated emergency procedures.
Kneeling on one knee, he placed the girl on the raised leg, face down. He used his fingers to pry open her lips and extend her tongue, ensuring her airway was clear. With the palm of his hand, he rapidly struck her back to expel water from her mouth, nose, and airway.
Once most of the water had been cleared, he carefully laid Alice back on the sand.
Her breathing was nearly nonexistent, and Hachiman wasted no time. He immediately began performing artificial respiration.
Gently lifting Alice's chin, he pinched her nose, took a deep breath, and exhaled into her mouth.
But that wasn't all. He also started chest compressions. Placing his hands one over the other, he positioned them just below the sternum, the central part of the chest, and began pressing down. At this point, he was completely focused on the rescue, setting aside any thoughts of enjoying the soft, smooth sensation he had been experiencing earlier.
Chest compressions and artificial respiration had a specific ratio. For single-rescuer CPR, it was 30 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths, while for two-rescuer CPR, it was 5 chest compressions followed by 1 breath, with these two methods alternating.
Thanks to his relentless efforts, Alice slowly began to regain her breath.
As she opened her somewhat hazy eyes, she found herself face-to-face with Hachiman. She also noticed her mouth had been pried open, and she instinctively moved her tongue, suddenly widening her eyes.
I... Is Hikigaya-kun... kissing me?
No, this must be him performing CPR on me.
Recalling that she had just nearly drowned, Alice realized that Hachiman was saving her.
But this is also my first kiss.
Alice felt a bit aggrieved, not expecting her first kiss to be taken away like this, especially by Hachiman, whom she had only met once or twice.
Hachiman, who had been fully focused on performing artificial respiration, felt something agile in his mouth, causing him to pause briefly. Then, he saw Alice open her eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"Miss Alice, you're finally awake."
"Yes, thank you for saving me, Hikigaya-kun."
Slowly sitting up, Alice blushed slightly as she expressed her gratitude.
Though her first kiss had been taken away, he had saved her life.
Compared to her life, things like first kisses were small matters... right?
Thinking back to the despair she felt when she was drowning, Alice couldn't help but feel a bit scared. After all, she was only 15 years old, and she definitely didn't want to die so young.
"Miss Alice, as long as you're okay," Hachiman replied with a smile upon hearing her gratitude.
He had been genuinely startled a moment ago. Even though Alice had come along as part of a casual invitation, if something had actually happened to her, Hachiman would have had a difficult time explaining it to General Nakiri.
Seeing that Alice was fine, the other girls breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Leonora rushed over and hugged Alice tightly. "Alice, you're safe! Thank goodness. I was so worried just now."
While Leonora might seem a bit unreliable at times, she was, after all, Alice's mother. When it came to her own daughter, she couldn't help but worry, no matter how eccentric she might appear.
