Chapter 198 Family Vacation (Part IV)

Playing around the game center was an enjoyable experience. After all the games we played, we went to the beach.

"Master~! Could you put this lotion on my back~?"

This beach was filled with people, and while it wasn't that crowded, those who heard what Nene said couldn't help but look.

Those who tried to peak had their vision blocked as I unhooked Nene's bra from behind. We already had swimsuits stored just in case of an emergency.

"Nha~!"

Applying the lotion, I could tell that Nene purposely made these noises. If she wanted to play it like this, I grabbed her tail, which surprised her to yelp.

"Not so playful, are you now?"

Nene glared at me and stuck her tongue out. Since I had applied the lotion on her, she got off, and everyone in the group wanted me to do the same.

"Charles."

Constance held my arm between her chest. Everyone else was playing on the sand or the water, with the two of us watching. Courtney, at first, didn't seem interested in joining, but Rose pulled her in to have fun.

"Yes?"

"Now that we're alone... Why don't we have some fun~?"

Suggesting this when Agnus and the rest were watching was too much for me. I hope no one back at Agnus' quarter would look at us strangely.

"Let's not. The people that sent us here are watching."

Everyone here doesn't know this. The IUC people had a camera to view what I was seeing. I didn't bother with this because they wanted to check my progress.

Constance's face flushed from embarrassment. When we had to return, Constance would have to face everyone, and the look from everyone would be there. I didn't know how to help, but I did my best to calm her nerves.

"Master~! Come play~!"

Nene yelled out from the water and urged me to come. I looked at Constance and dragged her along.

Upon entering the water, Nene splashed them on me. Her deviousness was still there. I will show her why cats are afraid of water. Taking revenge, I splashed back with a larger wave.

"Stop!"

"Take this!"

Instead of going for me, Reina went for Nene. It was too sweet of a chance not to take it. Nene knew that this was on purpose and attacked back.

"How about this!!!"

Reina used Courtney as a shield, and Courtney blocked most of the water aimed at her as a meat shield.

"..."

Courtney looked like she was about to die. Her expression was exaggerated, but she was upset and attacked randomly, which hit Rose.

Rose being the mature one, stopped at that, but Reina and Nene continued to fight. Looking at them, I knew they would keep fighting. I left it on their own device and checked on Courtney.

"Courtney want this?"

"Thanks."

I know I should have given her a floaty earlier, but the thought never came to mind. Accepting what I had, she used it and relaxed.

Looking at her, I had the urge to drag her around. Diving deep into the water, I slowly push dragged the floaty around.

"How's today's vacation? I expected you to be more indoors, honestly."

After going to school, Courtney tried to take one more week of class. Learning that doing any outdoor activities doesn't excite her, she was now a shut-in.

"It's a nice change of pace."

"Charles where are you taking me?"

The water had reached the upper part of my hands near my shoulders, but it had warranted her attention.

"Don't know, but you don't have to worry about it. I know I haven't been checking much, but hows your stay on Earth? Anything you want to talk about?"

"To be honest, I like Earth even more. I don't have much complaint if I have to say for myself."

My question had distracted her, and she gave me a genuine smile once she talked about her stay. Once the water got to my neck, I stopped what I had for my plan. It didn't seem like a good idea if I thought about it now.

After getting back, I could see my girls getting hit on. Before anything drastic happened, I teleported all of them to the bottom of the beach.

No one would miss them drowning. With what I would do in a few hours, these people underwater would be the least of their concerns.

When the sun had started to set, it was time for us to leave. It was a shame that this place had to go.

The diseases I had spread were now almost everywhere. From contact, water, and airborne, touching any of these would give it to you.

[Third Person POV]

"Why are we even watching this?"

Watching Charles having fun on the beach was a weird sight to all these employees. Everyone here was supposed to do their work for the war, and in the video, watching him do anything was too distracting.

"What's up everyone?"

Charles entering the headquarters with the girls was a surprise. His job to destroy Merabell hasn't been completed yet, and for some reason, he was here.

"Aren't you going to destroy the world?"

Linsey asked, wondering why he had left. Since Linsey asked first, everyone didn't speak and wanted to listen to what Charles had to say.

"Don't worry about it. The place is going to be in chaos. I had planted a disease that couldn't be cured by normal means. Those in the resort would die a grueling pain."

"Disease? And you thought a disease is a good idea when it could easily spread in the hub?"

Whatever Charles did could be fatal to many worlds. Linsey laughed at the cruel methods that Charles had used. To those that were sane, it wasn't something funny.

"So? It doesn't affect me or anyone in this room. I have no concern for anyone else. You should know that."

Hearing those words, they had figured out one thing about Charles. He was a man who cared nothing other than himself.
