Chapter 368: Isn’t there some kind of Isekai remote learning program for Highschool Boys who probably aren’t gonna graduate?

Day 86 – Evening, White Weirdo Inn

She clenched her small, pale fists in front of her chest and declared boldly

「I’ll do my best in this swimsuit!」

「「「Do your best at what?!」」」

Shield Pres-san is as motivated as ever, but it’s a swimsuit, so just swim normally, okay? It’s not battle gear, so if you try too hard in a bikini, things could get risky? In more ways than one?

Well, at least it has some basic enchantments, though it can hardly be called a battle gear. Actually, if a battle were to break out while wearing a bikini, the Highschool boy would be in quite the predicament, he’d probably be so focused on observing quietly that he wouldn’t even notice if a monster took a nibble out of him.

「Also, especially for Rhythmic Gymnastics girl, don’t do anything too acrobatic, okay? If you start doing gymnastics in a bikini, there’s not enough fabric to keep things covered, and it won’t just be a slip-up, it’ll be a full-on 『Hello there』 situation. And when that happens, any Highschool Boy who sees it is going to blow a nosebleed, end up bleeding out in the pool, and get bitten by sharks or bitches or whatever, so just stick to swimming, okay? Also, to the Volleyball girls, no beach volleyball. You’ll bounce out of your suits. And besides, it’s a river. There’s no beach, you know?」

「「「We get it already! Also, what do you mean by『Hello there』?!」」」

Still, I was worried, so I had the rhythmic gymnastics girl switch to low-rise boxer-style bottoms. With over 180 degrees of hip mobility, a standard bikini just couldn’t cover enough. The fabric was made with high elasticity and had 『Adhesion』 effects applied, but her movements are so specialized that even Dancing Girl-san had started learning rhythmic gymnastics under her like a reverse disciple. And if there’s a 『Hello』 incident down below, my Affection Rating-san is likely going to say 『Goodbye』 in response!

In the first place, isn’t everyone skimping on fabric a bit too much? A cup-type design, close to a half sphere, properly covering everything, would feel much more safe and secure, but for some reason, everyone is going with a triangle-design. Moreover, the straps are just strings instead of fabric too. On top of that, everyone (with two exceptions) have very Nice Bodies, with some notable curvature, and with athletic abilities of level 100+, it creates an unreasonable strain on the cloth!

If it doesn’t wrap around the body with perfectly contoured 3D tailoring, the effect of 『Adhesion』is weak. But if it digs in too much, that brings its own set of problems, for both girls and boys. It’s quite an issue!

Moreover, with too much elasticity, the fabric would become see-through once stretched enough. If the bikini gets pulled too tight over plump curves and turns transparent, it’s a disaster, for both the girls and the boys, but especially for my Affection Rating! Let’s be real: any Highschool Boy who forces high school girls into hand-sewn, skin-digging, borderline-transparent swimsuits is basically the natural enemy of any potential romantic Affection Rating.

「Then we’ll adjust the fit after getting you wet, if there are issues, we’ll recalibrate. So get ready to drip and shine in that bikini in that new giant washtub, okay?」

「「「Oookay, but you are making it sounds too lewd!」」」

Since it’s a prototype fitting, the 『Blindfold Crew』 have moved their hands away, but why don’t I remember their hands ever actually covering my eyes? Both of them are just holding their palms wide open in front of my face, leaving the eyes completely exposed. Does this even count as a blindfold? And why was someone hooking my mouth open with her pinky?! We finally came to the point when they are prying open not just my eyelids but my jaws as well, and let’s be real, a Highschool Boy gaping slack-mouthed at a fully nude JKs poses some issues, visual-wise.

Fibers tighten when wet. Twisted yarn offers strength but shrinks lengthwise, causing digging, and if the fibers themselves contract, the weave loosens, leading to transparency. Either one can deal Critical Damage to Highschool Boy’s Affection Rating-san. I guess『Regeneration』doesn’t work on Affection Rating-san? This is quite troublesome.

(*Splash-Splash*)

Both shrinkage and transparency are safely within acceptable limits, the real issue is using white for the multicolor to test transparency. Sure, white makes transparency and fabric strain easy to inspect, but to be honest, a Highschool Boy intensely visually examining every shadowed crevice and pronounced contour during 『quality control』 isn’t just problematic,it’s so far beyond the pale it doesn’t even qualify as an issue anymore. Mainly in terms of Affection Rating?

And once I spot a transparent area, I can enhance it with Magic Hands’ help, while loosening parts where fabric is too tight, making corrections with design and durability in mind. In other words, Magic Hands go pin point into places like such and those.

「「Ah… ah… ah…! Nnngh—!」」「Haaah… haaah… ha… auugh…!」「Nn… nngh! Uwah…!」「Hyaa… aaaaah…」 (*Splash-Splash*)

What are those voices! This is definitely that thing that the public calls that, which is very not preferable for Affection Rating-san. Once rating-san leaves, only Affection will remain, which also feels sort of risky in its own way!

「Um, is it too tight or uncomfortable anywhere? Try moving around a bit and check for any spots that rub or feel like they’re pulling, okay?」

It’s probably best not to ask why they are blushing so much and breathing so heavily from sitting in a water-filled washtub. Based on my years of Highschool Boy experience, asking would just get me yelled at. I’m pretty much always getting yelled at anyway, so this much is certain. The chances of ever being able to graduate are dubious though, I wonder how many years one can still keep the title of a Highschool Boy? Is there any form of remote education program for other worlds?

「Seems okay… or rather, I can’t handle any more than this.」「 Haa, haa, I did my best! I’ll give it my all in this swimsuit!」「 It seems to hold up even with a lot of movement… but does the fabric stretch and stick? Or ride up?」

「Hey! There!　Don’t do a Y-stand in a wet bikini! That thing wasn’t designed for rhythmic gymnastics! Please, just don’t.」

I feel like there should be a bit more consideration for a perfectly sound and healthy Highschool Boy, but everyone’s just poking and bouncing however they like, testing the jiggle and all. Hey, don’t pull on that, okay? Yeah, it’s riding up, so let’s stop that. Also, don’t try to spread it, alright? Highschool Boy-san right in front of you is clearly troubled? In various ways?

　「「「Yup, all good.」」」

A passing grade, it seems. Changing the color to black or red they are posing in front of the mirror, making the final design checks. And the Highschool Boy gazing at them from behind… No, I’m also making checks!

With stats of level 100+, there’s really no choice but to make it a bit tight and prevent it from sliding. That’s why the tight, curvy look ends up looking so provocative, but it seems they aren’t done posing yet. Them shaking their butts in wet bikinis right in front of my face makes things a bit awkward, but as a Highschool Boy in charge of checking the designs I’m taking my duty very seriously and confirming and recording every minute details with cooperation from 『Rajingan』-san. Yes, records are important.

Finally finished with the four, so I got about a 30-minute break. Even the double blindfolding team is so exhausted they can’t even blindfold anymore, their eyes are stuck in a flat gaze? I mean, it was actually pretty rough! I really tried hard, okay? Yeah, I did my best there.

After thinking about it for a moment, I realized there is no point in waiting for the blindfolding team to recover, since it doesn’t really interfere with the blindfolding part at all, so we move to the next group. These four are the limit for today, in all sorts of ways. Tonight, I’m definitely going to limit break!

「Please take care of us, Haruka-san.」 「Haruka-sama, thank you for doing this even for us.」 「But… these things called swimsuits are a bit embarrassing, aren’t they?」 「If you do anything improper to the Princess, you do understand what’ll happen, right? Though, it kind of feels like you never understand no matter how many times I say it, so I’ll just gouge your eyes out if you look, okay? There’s no leniency for habitual offenders of lese-majeste!」

The four from this world. The Elven Little Sister girl, Royal Girl, Merimeri-san, and Maid girl. All of them have Western body types and given the limited information (data), I was adjusting using Armored Pres-san as a baseline plus visual observation, but it seems they want custom-made underwear too, so in the end, I had to do precise body measurements anyway. I’m not doing anything improper, rather, the very act of a girl asking a Highschool Boy to take precise measurements itself feels kind of indecent? But it still has to be done? By me.

(*shff shff… fwoosh, rustle*)

No matter how many times we do it, the rustling sound when they take off their clothes… They say if one sense is blocked, the others become more sensitive, and maybe it’s because my eyes are closed that my hearing has gotten so sharp? And why is the blindfolding team, which was supposed to be too tired to move, has crawled over here and trying to pry open my eyelids? Wait, don’t pull with both hands! That hurts, actually, my eyelids are going to tear! Did they confuse『blindfold』 with 『eyegouging』 when they memorized the term?

Their skeletal structures and muscles are fundamentally different from those of Japanese people, and with differences in pelvic structure too, the entire base design has to be changed. But since they resemble Armored Pres-san’s type, we have enough info to work with. Still, the differences between individual bodies are shockingly large. And when I check those differences, by touching, stroking, pressing, jiggling to confirm one by one… they break? Yeah, unlike the classmates who’d already developed some resilience thanks to their experience during the whole tentacle incident, the otherworld group isn’t used to this, so they’re fragile. It was the same back then with the dresses too.

While taking measurements, I press fabric to their bodies, shaping it and wrapping it around to mold it to their forms, but their movements are so intense it’s hard to work. They arch, tremble, and writhe so much that it takes even more time, and I end up measuring even the places that I didn’t intend.

「A-a-a-a-a-a-a… s-s-s-s-s-sorry, I-I-I-I can’t anymore. P-p-please forgive me, Please nothing lewd, this is one of those no-no things, I really can’t, it’s no good, a-a-a-a-a-aah, a-aah, ahh………… (*thud*)」

「W-wait, wait, hold on, w-wha—aaah, aaaah, aaaaaahh!…… (*flap*)」

「P-p-Princess… w-w-what a shameless—! S-s-so disgraceful… ho-how dare… this is… this is lese-majeste… (*plop*)」

「Hyauh! Th-this is…! A-a-ah, i-i-i-incredible, it’s too much—uaah! Kyuhuu! (*thud*)」

Looks like simultaneous upper-and-lower measurements still were way too much for them, huh. But if this dragged on any longer, Highschool Boy would’ve reached his absolute limit. If Highschool Boy breaks down and tentacles go berserk, things will definitely spiral into a total disaster. Still, I’m glad they at least made it through the prototype and initial fitting before passing out… But making adjustments and corrections while they’re passed out is tough, and now they’re suspiciously twitching and writhing?

「「「「N-n-no, ah, n-not there, wait, th-that spot-no, nooo…」」」」

For now, I lay them on their backs and continued the adjustments, though they kept curling up and convulsing, then suddenly arching their backs again, really keeping themselves busy, and with all that thrashing around, things were only getting worse. Won’t they drown if I put them into the giant washtub? …Seems they’re okay? They look kind of dead. Let’s use the chance to soak them in the giant tub and get the corrections done while I can.

「They’re totally unconscious and limp, but is it really okay to do fittings in this state? Well, we can always readjust once they come back to their sense, so let’s just get things done for now?」

With the adjustments made and the suits completed, the girls were yet to wake up, so Dancing Girl-san helpfully stepped in, suspending their joints with chains and puppeteering them into position for final tweaks. It finally got done, but you can stop now, okay? Seriously, no matter how you think about it, these poses are out, okay? Why are they in the yoga pose 『Happy Baby』?

「Haruka-kun, I’’ll come in, you done? I think we can stop at Shariceres-san and the others… today… wait… What is going on here?! Just what are you doing to the princesses?!」

Got scolded? Pres-san launched straight into the lecture before I could even brace myself!

「What do you mean what am I doing? I was making swimsuits. As for that pose, Dancing Girl-san said it’s great for mental rest, stress relief, and fatigue recovery, it’s a standard yoga pose called Ananda Balasana, or more commonly 『Happy Baby』. The name alone makes it sound wholesome and healthy. I mean yeah, it’s clearly not a pose needed for making swimsuits, but she’s the one who did it, not me, so I’m not at fault, right? But hey, it really does help loosen the kidney meridian, which relieves swelling, detoxes the body, and reduces stress and fatigue. And the kidney meridian links to the kidneys, reproductive function, and aging, so it’s super important. Also, it’s really effective for slimming down the thighs, Pres, wanna try it too? Thighs, you know? No?」

「I will not! My thighs are perfectly fine! And that pose in a bikini is GUILTY!」

It was a sermon! And Dancing Girl-san escaped!

That night, Highschool Boy unleashed a divine-level scolding, under the name of punishment Dancing Girl-san was mercilessly swallowed up by a writhing mass of nyoro-nyoro-san, who rampaged like never before, without holding back. It seems she really did reflect on her actions. After all, the nyoro-nyoro-san were coated in slippery mucus that was infused with Stun Resistance using the 『Aberrant Necklace – Mutation, Aberration, Mucus (All Resistances, All Status Ailment Infliction), +DEF』, meaning she couldn’t even pass out, just had to endure the punishment endlessly. For some reason, even Armored Pres-san, who was just watching, had tears in their eyes? Well, Highschool Boy was honestly at his limit? Yeah, it was tough for a while, but that Happy Baby pose really pushed it over the edge, seriously, that was next-level dangerous!

Since both of them were quietly asleep, I did some side work and while I was at it, also tried mithrilizing Dancing Girl’s favorite iron fan after modifying it. What came out was『Mirage Fan – SpE DeX MiD 30% UP, Physical/Magical Reflection (EX), Evasion (EX), Illusion, Mesmerize, Slashing, Flying Fan, +ATT, +DEF』 A fully mithrilized iron fan made of layered steel plates. Real iron fans apparently only had iron on the outer ribs, with paper inside, or sometimes were just solid chunks of metal shaped like a folded fan. That’s just a paperweight!

Originally it was a war fan, but Highschool Boy modified it to better suit Dancing Girl’s style, adjusting the pivot to make it easier to pinch, spin, and throw it with just the fingers, improving the shape for grip and visibility, and enabling techniques like pivot flips. The fan’s frame was also reinforced with blades along the outer edge, and its length extended from about 50 to 70 centimeters. With iron laminated over the surface to expand the fan area, its defensive capabilities also were boosted. After all that, mithrilizing it resulted in the war fan turning into a dance fan, meaning the modifications influenced its function and performance.

Since her fan dance was so elegant, and because Dancing Girl seems to like decorative things, Highschool Boy added carvings, ornaments, and a dazzling multicolor pattern on a golden base, so it was probably recognized as a dance fan because of that. It’s more suited for indoor combat or dueling rather than dungeon exploration, so a little flair is fine. Besides, a dancing fan deserves to be beautiful.

And then, there was the deluxe 18-piece set of 『Enchanted Throwing Blades – Slash(Greater), Throwing, Homing, Mana Conductive, +ATT』. Let’s go ahead and attach those to the ends of the chains, Dancing Girl-san should have no problem handling them with ease. Next up: grenades, shells, landmines, sea mines, torpedoes for the Geeks, plus all of the idiots’ gear… Ah, there were some orders too…

And so the night wore on, as I kept alternating between doing side work and Highschool Boying, then more side work, then more Highschool Boy activities. Apparently even Armored Pres-san and the others have been leveling up their 『Regeneration』 skill day by day, it’s a Highschool Boy-style battle where you must not sleep in order to get to sleep! Because seriously, the Bikinis are just way too stimulating for a Highschool Boy! But when they’re not wearing anything at all that’s its own kind of stimulation, and just as much of a problem! Yes, even as the night deepens, the night of the Highschool Boy never ends! Kind of?
