RYL Chapter 17

Chapter 17

The capital 637a94de17 of the f38c0649a8 empire was fcf401beab located near ac90ec6852 the southern 6b69d771f5 sea.
Thanks to that, a 17c4de2ea5 short one-hour carriage ride ccd45cc1ac was enough to reach a6e8e86166 the beach.7a348ea57d109a9b

As we 973ee7cd30 admired the ec10fef421 vast ocean a603bbbca5 and the e55049b05f golden shore 9d896f9cf7 stretching endlessly, 550ecdfc6a we couldn’t 8ae268a9cf help but 7e126443ff exclaim in a9724fdeb7 awe.
“The sea! Claire!”
“Wow, it’s been so 0b82590181 long since I last d0dd982c40 saw the ocean!”9fed5a3f2fe6edac

Standing next 2498191ad1 to us, 8813d782d0 Sabrina frowned f960376ea4 while shading 190d371175 her eyes 14a18b1689 with her d0a18b8398 hand.
“Seriously? Wearing a dress at f3388c0fcb the beach? Does this even make 5033de10bb sense?”1c5f351f1fecae18

Lilianne and I just 023012a1f6 stared at her blankly, df711a6ae4 unimpressed by her ever-practicalT-typepersonality showing again.
Realizing the e446013da1 mood, Sabrina 236895949c awkwardly laughed 795b1c02d5 and quickly e774065116 corrected herself.
“Wow… Strolling on 229c719c63 the beach in 134513f3e7 a dress sure 792af5cd28 feels… different. Ha. Ha. Ha.”4bada409c98faccb

I let b3da0b569e out a a725562eca small chuckle d9b5d6ad6e at her 796dd3f7a9 forced laughter 99db6eba6e and looked d945c7e8d3 around again.
It wasn’t hard c14067977d to spot other a102b62069 nobles who had 5c11c623aa come to enjoy e75f26e5c4 the beach like 7e86a6d63b us.
Strangely enough, they 850c967b41 were all dressed ff5794c9ba in regular clothes c514107969 or formal dresses.b59be4f2e9aae39b

Some women wore odd-lookingpumpkin pants, but they didn’t 00b88201e8 exactly look like swimsuits.
Instead, they 6f09c7303e resembled undergarments 00a8104082 worn beneath f816775454 dresses.
Even more bizarrely, 4c7e8b2f48 some people were 8e6f44baba actually stepping into a2e2d4f827 the water while cf5e06879d wearing them.de1224728f69e241

Watching them curiously, da5c0a16b7 Sabrina asked me,
“So… I guess they 8ec91773b9 don’t have swimsuits here?”0e828544f3e7e783

I had no 4099d1a952 idea.
I was a3bea12623 also someone d078fc2585 who hadtransmigratedinto this world, so 56fbef8f35 how would I know?365eb95b1b42c224

As I fb96da8cc0 stared at 0d71b8b6cd Sabrina blankly, fb527c53c6 Lilianne jumped 9078f57467 in eagerly 4224a72b94 to answer.
“This world doesn’t have 57dff549c9 the kind of swimsuits a9318c5cba we know yet. That balloon-like underwear? They actually call it b3e938a92e a swimsuit.”c59a45cea7fac2ee

“That’s supposed to be 12cd609106 a swimsuit?”
I asked in 0e0093cc87 disbelief, and Sabrina f7fe5679d3 muttered next to 30368f82f4 me,
“If you tried swimming fcfea0d2b2 in that, you’d get 6fd751f917 soaked and sink like f87aabdcf4 a rock.”806426fde691416a

…Or maybe 35f556a1b0 the air 4413027437 inside thoseballoon pantshelps them float?
Could that be 45d588e1f7 the reason for c950a5f317 their design?c4785d726eee2621

While we a6fedc9a5f were busy 5e34358bfc making absurd 7cbe2cbf61 guesses, Lilianne 38472f18ee chuckled and 560a544bae clarified,
“In this 7dab6fbac5 world, women 2a5ca7b3b1 don’t like 2116e12415 exposing bare de8424b197 skin while 93ff95c0f7 swimming. That’s why 95c9b755b0 most of 1d3a28d031 them just c20625479b sit elegantly 3345e2d1ab on the d725e6982f beach, drinking 8f8f4230fc tea and 6c1fa7e9a4 chatting.”3a479318e32b1340

Sabrina looked 7b4f96fd2b at her d3bdc641ee in amazement.
“How do you 4e856e7084 even know all 7ded36d84c this?”25f279c3b9e91811

“I did 8897b4afd7 my research.”

Just as she 4e8a7c3c25 said, most noblewomen 98b660dba0 on the beach 3ef2bc5506 were sitting under f14d863efe parasols, elegantly sipping ebae6ae2bd tea.
Some even had 03705dae00 full tables set 6e98784ea5 up, enjoying an 949fd5f4ed elaborate tea party.dde4e563be8ab858

Meanwhile, Sabrina and 93443615ed I stood in d86f5591af the hot sun, 2032a84e9f relying only on 2ca6a83802 the brims of 7658b576ca our hats for 5f6eb8dad2 shade.
We watched c9d5f34c42 the noble de0f9ac47a ladies in 5b88b84031 envy.6989fff414a60c27

Then, out of nowhere, 1d7c083b83 Lilianne clapped her hands fa599d35df twice.
Clap! Clap!111e670a7f2bde78

Immediately, the 395efe1033 marquis family’s d29449c20d attendants sprang b59d0b48d7 into action.
In the blink of f06b2f5c1d an eye, they set d2f3c62c57 up a parasol and 950e0ad4c4 a luxurious tea table e4a594487a right in front of 4a7a5f5c25 us.906fef9b9eb1574e

We stood dec8c029ec there, dumbfounded, 7cf98d06ef as the 4704eba1b0 servants swiftly 426d23dd0c arranged everything.
Before we knew bc6b1f72e2 it, we had e98aa1cf98 a fully prepared 6d6da13a76 tea setup.9d93d44ad2ffed6a

“Come, let’s sit,” 812b609905 Lilianne said naturally, fcfbd966bf as if it c1500c7888 were the most 0352044895 obvious thing in f2785730fc the world.d81ef7b0c269f0ac

Still in a fe7fab0b70 daze, we took 88cd3ebc20 our seats.
Moments later, 7152771ce1 maids began 6ca4f7fa10 setting down b99a783597 teacups, pouring 4fd8e79ce2 tea, and fc325d03b1 serving delicate d51588a4f7 pastries.9ae4a647b79ba920

I sipped my tea e12d904948 absentmindedly before asking,
“But Lilianne, didn’t you f525b94ce9 say swimming at the ad05bace33 beach was one of 09fa3b2bc3 your dreams?”96cb838386756f80

1. Walk through the city with her arms full of designer shopping bags.

2. Have a d7b802e477 picnic atCentral Park (?).

3. Go swimming at 4c930a0f5b the beach in a079423b1c a real swimsuit.

Sabrina gasped.
“Wait, you mean you’ve eacd6098a5 never actually gone swimming 6e78b3dd3c at the beach before?”881878ada1402219

Lilianne laughed awkwardly.
“I’ve only bac2dacef3 ever dipped a8d1174d0c my feet 326a41b2cb in the b183645fc7 water. I was always too d3c669aff7 self-conscious, and I never c5285fc78c really had the time.”0b54746136b2431f

Well, to be fd2ed62f47 fair, most people 218cd895c8 don’t actually swim ad7ddff3b5 at the beach 59602e6142 once they’re grown 545fe1d1a4 up.
Even I couldn’t 5d7f66ac72 recall the last 0fc5dfbd9d time I had b160b8b773 put on a 76a4443991 swimsuit and gone 33a659c607 swimming.82e33b895e0c6bd2

“Of course! I came prepared 93d03d84b8 for this!”36ffe28aa921d2e3

Once more, b7ca271031 the attendants 1d9cd9bc03 moved swiftly.
A maid brought f1b60422c0 over a rolling 62dc1c6c3e clothing rack, while 05647e4a6c others carried large f7f2782c04 white fabric panels.a4d3f8514cc88c39

Before we could even 1cdcccf558 process what was happening, a12aa64de5 a makeshift changing booth 7b3a0dee36 was set up beside 50798165dc us.
It was nothing more 25418a0e24 than some fabric draped fc8bd5a3ac over a frame, but 2ef72d36bb still…d699cd058c6e832f

Sabrina looked at fbb6068651 it doubtfully.
“Wait… don’t tell 06ac713153 me we’re supposed 4f957e262b to wearthose?”
She gestured 2023e7f6c0 toward the 786e71298c noblewomen wading 9a146a76c9 into the 9469d29672 water in 55cf549d61 theirpumpkin pants.38bb33fcb64169d8

Before we could protest, 0df06975c7 the maids quickly pulled dfd9b7b17b us into the changing 7eff370834 booths.
We barely had time f6672c74fa to react before they e740b2d716 stripped off our dresses 5d03a89944 and dressed us in 0ffe60e179 something new.de4f8682a354dde3

When I finally came f679514fee to my senses, I ef532459d7 found myself standing in a80c33e3c9 front of a full-length 1d3fd5ed0c mirror.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”ac17ad0ed08a922d

Lilianne stood beside 08f60aed61 me, grinning in 24ee2f1f58 a bright yellow ffc6ecf3c4 bikini.

As I stood there, 1f0e83b31a mouth agape, she turned 66680bc2fe to me with a 1b5c6c7e22 mischievous grin.
Then, she suddenly c52501e044 wrapped an arm 72b47e0bb7 around my shoulders a844ddf4a2 and pulled me 5df4b3d7f9 in front of 0068962abe the mirror.3db57ded84e85524

In the mirror, I 10b24a4ea2 saw myself blushing furiously 65ef416c16 in a dusty rose 33a956ca5a bikini.
It had delicate 0eaaf35f17 frills and a 0be742c070 few thin ribbons dc2fb7c0d2 wrapping around my 58ee8e5e22 waist, making it ee4dc5aece look almost like 5cb8e6beae underwear.

Thankfully, she had also 41fbfafbac preparedswim cover-ups.
They were db93598793 long, flowing 3ed6bedc16 silk robes 212e1b0bb0 that reached 0655999de3 our knees, abc52fb9bd each in cafb21cec7 different colors—pink 8f030d85e5 for me, a2aad5ce0d yellow for 21f5a67192 Lilianne, and a2e223b5c4 purple for f0ffe9698d Sabrina.eb04685c3be9b2fd
