Papa got better the next day and I had a lot of fun swimming with everyone, until the sun started going down.
Everyone went home without getting changed
Exclamation mark.
All done!
Now that I think about it...
I wonder what she's doing.
Hey, everyone!
Oh, hello there.
Hey.
What's up?
There's a festival coming up soon,
so the princess called us here to help prepare for it.
Huh?
A festival?

The World Tree, that's said to join the nine realms together,
is believed to be a physical manifestation of the world itself.
In short, the reason why we're able to be here today...
...is because the World Tree supports the land.
So, once a year,
we have a festival giving thanks to the World Tree,
where we all have a great time.
The princess is going to be a part of that festival?
Yes.
Because they protect these lands,
it's customary for the succubus royal family...
...to sing and dance to give thanks to the World Tree.
The exact form of the custom has changed from times gone by, though.
Yay!
The princess didn't participate last year.
But she told me that she wanted to sing a song this year.
I see.
Don't you understand?
Understand what?
The main purpose of the festival is to give thanks to the World Tree.
So, basically, she has a reason to express her gratitude.
Right.
So, here's the question:
What could have happened in the time between her not participating last year and now?
Your hint is that it's related to the World Tree.
Erm...
She's probably realised that, as a royal, she has a responsibi-
It's you!
M-Me?!
The princess wishes to thank the World Tree...
...because she was able to meet you, Naoya-dono!
But I'm...
Your modesty is one of your better traits,
but it has a time and a place.
"I'm really happy I met you!"
Are you really going to act as if she doesn't feel that way?
I'm going to see if anyone needs anything!
I'm half guessing, but...
Keep at it, Princess.
How was it?
Um...
It was, you know...
You completely froze up.
Hey, Lucca!
I thought so...
Lotte, you're actually really good at dancing and singing,
so you just have to make sure you don't get nervous...
...in front of other people and do what you normally do.
Asuha...
Yeah.
Then, I just have to keep practising!
Everyone, help me out!
Yeah!
What are you doing?!
Build up courage by going around without any panties on!
That won't make anyone more courageous!
Hey everyone, I brought some tea.
Huh? Princess?!
Naoya, you idiot!
I'm sorry!
Papa, you're so perverted!
Why?! Why?
Squiggle: Being punished
I'm sorry!
You're back earl-
Naoya-san... you look good in that.
Punishment
complete
The bath is ready!
Lotte, you've improved loads.
R-Really?
With this, you'll do great at the festival!
I'm excited!
No, I need more practice.
Lotte-sama, keep at it!
I'll be dancing there with you, cheering you on!
Thank you.
Are we taking a bath together?
It's a large bath, so it'll be fine.
It's a little embarrassing.
Y-Yeah...
This is the first time I'll be bathing with friends too.
The outdoor hot springs here are one of the top hundred...
...places to visit in the world, because of their great reputation.
Really?
I'm envious that you get to take a bath here everyday, Lotte-sama.
Lucca-chan, that outfit's pretty cute.
I wouldn't wear something like this back home.
I'd never worn panties before I came to this country either.
Really?!
Not wearing any feels better, doesn't it?!
I don't wear anything underneath...
...when I wear sports pants like these.
They're right on top...
You'd have to be pretty brave to do that.
I experienced it for the first time the other day.
My heart was racing...
...and I didn't know what was going to happen, but it felt so right.
I'm not sure that feeling is normal, Mist.
R-Really?
Feels good, doesn't it?
Stare.
U-Um... Is something wrong?
How old are you?
Fourteen.
You're f-fourteen and...?!
Depressed
People mature at different rates, so don't worry too much.
Yeah, but...
Flat.
Flat!
Succubi are supposed to mature quickly,
Flat.
and I've been told that my mother was rather "stacked" at my age...
Stacked.
W-Well...
It's not like the bigger the better, you know?
Papa seems to like them bigger, though.
Lotte-sama...
Keep working hard, my chest!
Bath
You've got to drink milk after you get out of the bath.
That's what you do in my country.
Milk, huh?
Speaking of which,
I always used to drink milk from my nanny who was a Cow Demon.
I've heard that freshly-produced milk from a Cow Demon...
...has special nutrients in it that promote growth in females.
I drink that too, but...
Yeah, but it has to be after you take a bath, Princess!
After you take a bath, your circulation improves,
so the nutrients in the milk will also reach your breasts!
I-I see!
We've brought you a change of clothes.
I'm sorry it took so long.
Effie's milk is some of the best, isn't it?
Huh?
Effie-san, give me some milk!
Some for me too! Right now!
Breasts!
Hurry!
I want my breasts to get bigger too!
I don't really get it, but it looks fun!
Everyone...
I want them to get a little bigger, too-
You're already big enough!
The princess and her friends are taking a while.
Seems like it.
Satisfied
I wonder if they'll get bigger.
It'll be fine.
We did everything right.
It was good.
But I would have liked it cold.
I've got a while to go, still.
We already told you, you're already big enough!
Could all of you get changed already!
You'll catch colds!
Okay...
Astarotte no Omocha!
Lotte, everyone's waiting.
Yeah.
I'll be there in a second.
You'll be fine! You practised a lot!
That's true...
Let's go!
This is nice!
It's kind of exciting, isn't it?
Everyone's wearing yukata.
It feels like the Realm of Man.
It's something that originated in the East.
They're light, they keep you cool, and they look great too.
Where's Naoya?
He said he'll join us later.
By the way, Asuha...
What is it?
It's kind of late to ask this,
but is this really the right way to wear a yukata?
Yeah, you don't wear anything underneath a yukata!
No, not that...
Huh?
My yukata seems shorter than the ones other people are wearing.
That's the fashion this year.
Really?
Sorry for the wait.
Hi.
Sorry I'm late.
Daddy, you took so long.
Sorry.
Why is Elika with you?
I met her just over there.
Sorry for interrupting, I guess.
That yukata looks great on you, Princess.
Of course.
Stare...
W-What?
Take off your panties! That's not fair!
W-What's not fair?!
Asuha said you have to take off your panties when you wear a yukata!
Panties...
Hey, Asuha!
You did something again, didn't you?!
Anyway, let's have fun at the festival!
Yeah!
Asuha.
You're...
Sorry for bothering you when you're having fun.
You know how he is.
What's that supposed to mean?!
Anyway, Lotte-chan!
You look superbly pretty in a yukata.
What do you want?
We're all going to have fun,
so why don't you just get lost?
Yeah!
Hey, don't jump the gun.
The one I'm here for is...
...you!
Huh?
Seems you've recovered.
I'd like to challenge you to a duel once more!
revenge
I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
I'll face you to see who's better for Lotte-chan!
Hah! There's no way Papa can lose.
Good luck, Naoya!
If you're a man, you gotta accept.
Get him, Naoya!
Uh...
You can't embarrass her.
Right...
It can't be helped, I guess.
All right! That settles it!
Here I go!
Oh man.
All
done
Prince...
You lost way too easily.
Naoya, let's go.
O-Okay.
Anyway, please excuse me.
Papa, you were pretty cool.
Wouldn't expect any less.
Thank you.
Good work.
Not at all.
That's my rival!
Anyway, time for the real figh-
He's not here any more, Prince.
Damn, he ran away.
Sigh.
That jerk...
That jerk...?
I-It's about time.
That time already, huh?
Princess, are you okay?
Yeah...
We'll watch from here.
Princess, give it your all!
Show us how hard you've trained, Lotte!
T-Thank you.
Princess...
Princess, are you ready?
Y-Yeah,
I'm wearing the spare panties you carry around for Asuha.
Yeah.
I don't think you could have gone on stage like that.
Lotte!
Here you go.
What is it?
A good luck charm.
I bought one just now from one of the stalls.
I see.
Now we both have one.
Asuha!
Princess Astarotte, it's time.
Lotte: Surprised
Okay.
Good luck!
Fight, Princess.
Naoya...
Good luck, Princess!
She's frozen stiff...
Princess...

Yeah, I wanted to draw what happened today as soon as I could.
All done!
Good job.
I've been having so much fun since I came here.
There's not enough room in my picture diary.
Summer vacation will be over soon.
What are you going to do once summer vacation's over?
Huh?

They all made it possible for the two of us to be brought together on this day.
Next time:
A full stop, just the two of us.
Summer homework, huh?
I was cataloguing plants for my diary back then.
I thought I was picking a Common Vetch...
...but it was actually a grasshopper.
I wonder if Asuha and the princess...
...will remember this summer in days to come.
