Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 413: Chapter 412: The Beach Swimwear is a Routine Round

Blue skies, white clouds, a boundless ocean, snow-white beaches, crystal-clear seawater, and coconut trees.

Deck chairs, sun umbrellas.

”Phew... This is the life...”

Reclining in the chair, Fang Zheng casually picked up the freshly squeezed juice beside him and took a sip. Bringing along a bunch of snacks and a cooler had indeed been the right decision. Under the warm sun, while drinking the cold juice and gazing at the vast sea around him, including the playful girls on the beach not far away... Ah, this was truly satisfying.

”It’s a pity that Natsuse and the others couldn’t come to this world. Otherwise, after I return, I’ll take them for a trip to Hawaii on Ironblood Earth...”

Murmuring to himself, Fang Zheng looked towards the sandy beach at the girls frolicking in the sea. Although Fang Zheng and his companions hadn’t brought swimwear, this clearly wasn’t a problem for Mind Models composed of information. Iona was now dressed in a deep blue, school swimsuit-like one-piece with ”Iona” written across the chest, squatting on the beach and twiddling with a starfish in her hand.

Not far from her, Takao and the Vampire were playing beach volleyball. Logically, this should have depicted a harmonious scene, but... the reality was far from it.

On the contrary, the beach had become a battlefield.

”Haah!”

Takao jumped up sharply, then with a forceful smack of her right hand, she sent the volleyball through the air like a cannonball towards the Vampire. Clenching her teeth and snorting, the Vampire bent down in response, countering Takao’s attack with a rebound. She then kicked fiercely, sending the ball in a beautiful arc directly at Takao’s head.

”Hmph! You think you can win against me, you little runt?”

In the face of the Vampire’s attack, Takao sneered, sidestepped the flying volleyball, and with a backhand punch, redirected it towards the Vampire’s chest.

”You old hag, don’t even dream of winning!”

Now, the Vampire replied with gritted teeth, resembling an angry kitten. Although on the surface, the conflict appeared to stem from the competition, a closer look would reveal that the Vampire’s gaze was fixated on the two large buns wrapped in Takao’s white bikini top. With each move Takao made, those buns would sway, intensifying the murderous intent in the Vampire’s eyes.

No wonder, since the little one was also wearing a same-style black bikini... but looking at her chest... it’s pretty much the same whether she wears one or not, right?

No, to be precise, the black color’s conspicuousness only highlighted the barrenness there even more.

Such a sad tale, indeed.

”Aren’t you going to play?”

After taking a sip of juice, Fang Zheng turned to look at Nymph beside him. The Little Angel still wore her super-futuristic outfit she had on when he first summoned her, and at the moment, she was zoning out while holding that modified cube. Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s question, Nymph turned to him with a slight smile.

”Being by Master’s side is all I need.”

”You should relax every once in a while.”

Listening to Nymph’s reply, Fang Zheng reached out to pat her little head.

”You’ve been running around with me and it’s tiring. You need to relax when it’s time to relax, otherwise you’ll wear yourself out.”

”But Artificial Angels...”

”I know your energy is unlimited, but mental fatigue won’t disappear because of that, right? Go play in the water, build a sandcastle or something. Even if you just want to sunbathe and zone out, that’s fine. I’m here, so don’t worry about it.”

Fang Zheng spoke the truth. Compared to Iona, the Vampire, and Takao, Nymph indeed had been the busiest. She had to activate the radar scan before battles, hack into other Warships of Sea Mist during combat, and work on core modifications after. All of these tasks consumed considerable energy, and since no one else could help with these matters, the Little Angel had been quite busy.

Now that they finally had an opportunity, Fang Zheng also hoped that she could rest and relax properly.

”...Alright, Master.”

Hearing this, Nymph no longer insisted. She stood up, glanced towards the distance, and then Fang Zheng saw the Little Angel reach out to remove her cloak, then pull open the one-piece swimsuit-like garment underneath... So the little one was ready to play in the water all along, but was just too shy to tell him... Pfft!

But Fang Zheng hadn’t finished his drink, and when he saw Nymph take off her coat, he sprayed it out directly.

He had originally thought the little one was wearing a swimsuit underneath, which would explain why she would undress so openly in front of him. But to Fang Zheng’s surprise, underneath, the little one wasn’t wearing anything...!

No, to say she wasn’t wearing anything at all would be an exaggeration. In fact, the key parts of the Little Angel were covered, just...

Are all Synapsus people perverts?!!

Looking at Nymph in front of him, Fang Zheng was completely speechless. What the Little Angel was wearing was neither underwear nor a bra, instead, she had only covered the spots where mosaics would be needed with three patches slightly larger than Band-Aids!

Although those things were pure white and had some lines drawn on them that made them look high-tech, but... Are all Synapsus people perverts?!

”What’s wrong, Master?”

And worse, Nymph herself seemed completely unaware of any problems with her appearance. Hearing the sound of Fang Zheng spraying water, she turned her head curiously toward him.

”No, this is...” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Looking at Nymph, who had turned around, Fang Zheng’s face was even redder. To be honest, given Nymph’s figure, he wouldn’t have been aroused—no, he meant even if Nymph were to wear a normal bra or something, he would have been just startled.

But this item... it was just too Seltin!!

Are all Synapsus people perverts?!

”Ugh...”

Looking at the three white Band-Aids on the Little Angel, which shook slightly with her movements, especially the one between her legs... Fang Zheng felt that something down there was starting to get restless... dammit, is it covered or not?!

”No, no, nothing... I think you better wear a more ordinary swimsuit.”

Noticing the Little Angel’s curious and puzzled eyes, Fang Zheng turned his head away in embarrassment. He used to think those so-called ”funny gadgets” were just pointless inventions made up by bored people to swindle money, but now it seemed they did have some use. If you said Nymph was wearing a one-piece swimsuit or a bikini, then Fang Zheng would probably just comment on the little one’s growth and body curves, but with her wearing this... Fang Zheng didn’t know how to react.

Not to mention that she herself seemed to feel absolutely nothing, which made it even more problematic!

If this scene unfolded like in an anime, with the female lead blushing, shouting ”H”, and then throwing a punch, that would be the standard trope.

But Nymph came up with a blank face and asked, ”Master, what’s wrong with you?”... That seemed to be within the standard trope as well?

Shouldn’t someone be coming over to cause trouble at this point?

Glancing at Nymph, who had come close and was curiously looking at him, Fang Zheng broke out in a cold sweat. He scanned the beach around them, and logically, if this were the conventional narrative, someone would definitely have noticed by now, then whether they yelled or something else, it would carry the awkward plot forward.

But now... Iona was so hooked on playing with starfish she wasn’t responding, and the Vampire and Takao were so engrossed in their volleyball game they didn’t care about this side...

Although beach swimsuit scenes being cliche are a given, this cliche was torturous.

”Cough, cough... Nymph, you should change into another swimsuit.”

”Swimsuit?”

At Fang Zheng’s words, Nymph was even more puzzled.

”What’s the use of that kind of gear that has no performance and can’t turn invisible?”

”No, at least it’s meant to be worn...”

It was only then that Fang Zheng realized, he still had so much to learn about this Little Angel who had been following him all this time!
