Drops of sweat began to roll down your forehead as you sighed deeply. A cool breeze brushed your warm skin and your elbows were resting on the railing of the balcony...despite everything, you couldn't find any relief.

《Damn, what a hell of a heat...》

You tried in vain to unglue the undershirt you wore and to free your neck from any of your hair.

That day was unexpectedly hot. Of course, it was the summer season, but it had never happened that the air could be so unbreathable and even staying under a shadow wasn't enough.
You didn't have the courage to go outside in the scorching sun, but it wasn't a good idea to stay inside and so you decided to take refuge on the balcony of your bedroom.

Tired of standing, you dropped into a rocking chair and wiped the sweat off your forehead with the back of your hand.
Since you were alone, as Katakuri had gone out to run errands that morning, you decided to wait for him there not knowing how to face such a day.
Only the view of the sea in front gave you a pleasant feeling of freshness.

You had just closed your eyes to abandon yourself to a short nap, when you heard the sound of the door open behind you accompanied by a high-pitched voice.

《Y/n! What are you still doing here?! You don't want to spend the whole day like this...!》  The girl walked quickly towards your position. As usual, her arms were folded over her hips and she was looking at you with a displeased expression.

《Um, do I have any other choice, Pudding?》  Your eyes narrowed, annoyed by the reflection of the light on the pale wall.

At that point, you saw a long smile print across her plump, rosy cheeks. Something told you she had something strange in mind...

《Come on, it's a fantastic sunny day and the sea isn't just for looking at it! Let's go into town for some shopping!》  Pudding finished screaming at the top of her voice.

《For what?》  You couldn't help but be perplexed.

《To go to the beach, of course!》

Pudding grabbed your arm to force you to get up and go out of the palace.

《Why do I have a bad feeling about it...?》

《Kyaaaah!》  Pudding's scream made you jump and turn towards her, staring at something in a shop window.

《It's so pretty! It must be absolutely mine!》  It was a two-piece swimsuit with floral dye. You had to admit it was right for her.

《If you like it, why don't you come in and have a look?》  You suggested, looking back at the street.
《I can wait out here–》

《Of course not! You must see one for yourself too!》  People passing by were forced to hear Pudding yelling at you.

《W-what? Nah, that's okay for me, I'm not interested in trying one–》  But you didn't have time to finish the sentence that Pudding had dragged you into the shop.

You sighed deeply. You weren't interested in having a bathing suit, much less buying one...however, you took a look around while enjoying the air conditioning of the place.
Pudding came out of the dressing room wearing the same bikini that it was on the shop window and screamed madly at how much she liked it.
《How is it, Y/n?!》  She didn't need your judgment to decide, but you had to admit she was cute...Pudding jumped for joy when you said her.
