“H-How is it? K-Kolin, d-do you think it looks good?”
“Come on, look at mine. Isn’t it sexy? It looks very desirable, right?”
“Lavinia! We are choosing swimsuits, aren’t we? What on earth are you saying? Can’t you be a little more reserved?”
As expected, Kolin’s premonition was not wrong. He silently watched the three somewhat noisy women in front of him. They had all changed into different swimsuits and were now standing side by side before Kolin, wanting him to give an evaluation.
To this, Kolin only wanted to say: What right do I have to evaluate you all? Moreover, given the current situation, no matter which one of you I comment on, the other two will probably tear me to pieces!
Looking at the three women who were laughing and playfully teasing each other, Kolin, who hadn’t even been urged yet, suddenly felt cold sweat break out. It was as if he had been suddenly thrown into a desert with extreme temperature differences. It left him completely speechless, afraid that if he spoke, the moisture in his body would mysteriously vanish.
Liyami noticed Kolin’s state, but she didn’t do anything about it. After all, this was a perfect opportunity for her to legitimately wear such revealing clothing while being next to Kolin. Liyami didn’t want to miss it.
Furthermore, although Kolin was currently extremely nervous, from an outsider’s perspective, one would only think Kolin was perhaps the luckiest man in the world. He was doing something all men envied. If Kolin said he didn’t want this now, before Liyami and the others could do anything, Kolin would probably be hunted down by other men, wouldn’t he?
Therefore, although Kolin desperately wanted to escape right now, he couldn’t. He could only sit here silently like this, awaiting the pronouncement of his ‘crime’.
“Alright, enough chit-chat. It’s time we heard Kolin’s thoughts.”
What?! So soon?! Am I about to face judgment already?! I’m not ready!!!
As Lavinia quieted the noisy chatter, Kolin also closed his eyes, preparing to face his final judgment.
“Alright, Kolin. Now tell us, among the three of us, whose swimsuit do you like the most?”
! The most terrifying question right off the bat?! Haha, looks like I’m going to die here today 😄.
With Lavinia taking the lead in asking the question, Kolin felt this was the most desperate moment he had ever experienced in his life.
Looking at the three women in swimsuits all gazing at him with expectant eyes, Kolin’s mouth twitched a few times. Finally, in a trembling voice, he said, “…C-Can I choose all?”
“Haha 😄, of course not! If you insist on doing that, then this will be your fate.”
Liyami said with a smile, pointing her finger at another swimsuit casually discarded on the floor beside her feet. That swimsuit seemed to be draped over something, creating a raised outline. But as Liyami’s swift, gale-like fist came down heavily, that raised part was instantly flattened. Seeing this, Kolin immediately felt a tightness in his lower body, already imagining himself in that situation.
“So, what’s your choice?”
Liyami said with a smile. Although she was smiling, her voice carried a hint of coldness. At least, Kolin didn’t feel much warmth from it. And it wasn’t just Liyami; Lavinia and Eleanor also wore similarly unnerving smiles, giving Kolin goosebumps.
“Haha, I-I see. Uh, well, that would be…”
Kolin had come to terms with his current predicament. He stopped trying to escape and accepted reality as if resigning himself to fate.
Kolin carefully looked at the three of them again. Liyami was still wearing a cute-style swimsuit, though it showed a bit more skin than the previous one, adding a touch of sexiness to the cuteness.
Lavinia’s swimsuit was, as usual, bold and revealing. At first, Kolin would have been shocked, but now he was used to it.
As for Eleanor, her swimsuit choice was quite conservative, with a hint of cuteness, but that was about it. At least, after looking her over, Kolin didn’t feel much interest. It just seemed ordinary, completely incomparable to the other two.
If he had to say whose swimsuit he liked the most… it would still be Liyami’s. After all, Liyami’s appearance already aligned perfectly with Kolin’s preferences. Now, wearing a swimsuit, Kolin really couldn’t think of a reason not to choose her.
As for Lavinia, although her swimsuit was very revealing and sexy—enough to definitely stir that kind of desire in Kolin—and she surpassed Liyami in areas other than the chest (if you ignored the chest, she would probably win by a narrow margin), unfortunately, Lavinia wasn’t within Kolin’s specific preferences. Kolin didn’t dislike Lavinia’s type, but he didn’t particularly like it either; it was just average.
In terms of simple liking, Kolin did like her. But if he really had to compare her to Liyami, she would fall a bit short. At least, Kolin would choose Liyami over Lavinia.
As for Eleanor… Kolin glanced at Eleanor’s swimsuit and subconsciously frowned.
To put it bluntly, her figure was really, uh… at least he didn’t have a preference for a flat chest. Neither now, nor in his past life, did he have that.
Although Eleanor was also good-looking, compared to Liyami and Lavinia, she fell completely short, not to mention in terms of figure. Eleanor’s figure couldn’t really be called bad; it was just that apart from her chest being too underdeveloped, everything else was too ordinary.
But when Eleanor stood next to the other two, this gap became so vast that Kolin didn’t even need to try comparing before knowing Eleanor was absolutely and completely defeated, at least in terms of swimsuits.
Thus, after a period of hesitation and difficult contemplation, Kolin finally made his sincere choice.
“…L-Liyami, you. I prefer yours.”
“Hmm!”
Liyami, who had only been smiling before, immediately showed a genuine, heartfelt smile upon hearing this answer, even blushing a little with embarrassment.
Liyami lowered her head, somewhat unable to look in Kolin’s direction. She said in a small, lowered voice, “I-Is that so. Th-Thank you…”
Seeing this, Kolin was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief, also revealing a relieved smile. But Kolin’s smile didn’t last long before it froze again, because he remembered there weren’t just Liyami here; there were two other people besides him, and they wouldn’t be wearing the same expression as the praised Liyami.
Thinking of this, Kolin nervously looked at the other two, fearing they might do something unfortunate. But upon seeing their expressions clearly, Kolin was somewhat surprised.
Upon hearing Kolin say Liyami’s swimsuit was his favorite, Lavinia and Eleanor did not get angry as Kolin had imagined. Instead, they wore expressions of dejection.
Lavinia was still okay. Although she also seemed dejected, she seemed to have anticipated this outcome somewhat, was somewhat prepared, and had better control over her expression, not showing excessive disappointment.
But Eleanor was different. Her disappointment was almost palpable. It seemed she had never expected Kolin to give that answer, catching her completely off guard. She was shrouded in gloom.
Seeing this, Kolin wanted to comfort them, but after subconsciously glancing at Liyami, he ultimately gave up on the idea.
After all, he was clumsy with words. Even if he did try to comfort them, he probably couldn’t come up with anything good to say. It might just make things worse.
And so, the matter of choosing swimsuits in Kolin’s room came to an end in such an atmosphere. Although the final result brought joy to some and sorrow to others, overall, it could still be considered a memorable experience.
Although for each person, the “memorable” part they experienced wasn’t quite the same.
