“Um... My lady? What are you...?”

“As I said, we should first get you accustomed to the water.”

“I understood that part. But why do you have me in a bridal carry?”

“I thought we might follow Rolo and Instructor Noor’s example and make a big splash.”

“Aah, so that’s why... Wait, um, my lady? Don’t get me wrong—I’m reeeeeeally grateful—but don’t you think that might be...a bit much for me?”

“I’m going to be with you this time, so you’ve got nothing to worry about. Now then, here we go. Hold your breath, if you would.”

“W-Wait! Please! I’m still not mentally pre—hiyaaah?!”

Still carrying the poor Sirene, who let out a rather unique scream, Lynne leaped up into the air with a broad smile on her face. The pair crashed into the water, creating an impressive spray and several waves before starting to sink. I thought they could have made a greater splash, but maybe Lynne was holding back for the sake of her new student.

The displaced water barely even wet Ines’s feet. Her expression remained exactly the same, though something about her made me think she was unsatisfied.

As for Lynne and Sirene, they soon floated up to the lake’s surface.

“Pff-tah!”

“How was that, Sirene?”

“It...wasn’t as bad as I expected.”

“It only seemed scary because you clung to that assumption before jumping in. If you want to overcome your fears, then you need more exposure to them. Keep at it, and you won’t even think twice about swimming. I suspect you might even become an expert before the day’s end.”

“What a wonderful thought...”

“Shall we go again?”

“Hyah?!”

Despite her shrieks, Sirene didn’t look as reluctant this time. In fact, I thought I noticed the slightest traces of a smile. She was definitely getting used to the water.

Ines remained silent and expressionless, but she also seemed a tad lonely as she watched the pair frolic about in the water. It had to be tough refraining from the things you enjoyed for the sake of your duties. Maybe I should make those huge waves again, I thought—not for my own benefit, but as a nice gesture for Ines, who was working so hard.

“What do you think, Rolo?”

“Let’s do it.”

At times like this, Rolo’s capacity for reading thoughts really was convenient; a single glance was all we needed to get on the same page. We stood together at the lake’s edge, ready to enact our plan.

“Here goes, then.”

“Mm-hmm.”

We jumped at exactly the same time, planted our feet squarely on the ceiling, and then launched ourselves toward the very center of the man-made lake. Our plan was to create a wave even larger than mine.

Before we hit the lake, however, an idea came to me. By striking the water just as we crashed into it, maybe I could create an enormous wave.

“[Parry].”

No sooner had the thought occurred to me than my body took action. I stretched out my arm, making the shape of a blade with my hand, and tried to gently strike the lake’s surface. My hand was met with pleasant resistance, and a moment later, the water before my eyes disappeared.
