The warm sun beamed down on the resort, casting a golden glow over the pristine poolside. The sound of waves crashing in the distance mixed with the soft murmur of guests enjoying their time off. It was the perfect day to unwind, and you were more than ready to embrace the serenity of the spa.

Shiki was lounging under a shaded cabana, hands behind his head as he let out a content sigh. Weiss and Rebecca were splashing around in the pool, laughter ringing through the air as they playfully raced one another. As for you, the soothing waters of the spa had become your haven, the gentle heat melting away any lingering tension from your travels.

Just as you were beginning to lose yourself in the blissful tranquility, a familiar voice called out to you.

“Ah, there you are,” Homura’s voice carried an even tone, yet there was an unmistakable hint of curiosity laced in her words.

You turned your head and immediately felt your breath hitch. Homura stood before you, her newly acquired swimsuit hugging her body in all the right places. The deep blue fabric accentuated her toned physique, the design effortlessly balancing elegance and allure. Droplets of water glistened on her smooth skin, catching the sunlight as she approached.

She placed a hand on her hip, her sharp brown eyes locking onto yours. “What do you think?” she asked, her voice calm but expectant.

Before you could form a coherent response, she continued, unknowingly voicing her thoughts aloud. “I hope you find it good-looking on me…”

A blush crept up your face at her unintentional confession. It was a classic Homura moment—her tendency to speak her inner thoughts without realizing it always caught you off guard.

Homura blinked, registering the slight redness on your cheeks. “Ah… I did not mean to say that part out loud.” She cleared her throat, her usual composure faltering ever so slightly.
