A/N: Unfortunately, no one was able to guess who the stern-looking woman was in the last chapter. Maybe I should have given more specific clues. She's from a more recent anime (2020) that has two seasons. In fact, it's still in its second season as of writing!

If you couldn't figure it out, you'll find out who it is soon!

Enjoy!


Chapter 9: You Look Beautiful Naked

Akko reached for her inner tube and held it around her waist. "I'm heading into the water!" she said, frantically.

Without even giving Diana time to respond, Akko darted into the water and paddled herself out into the ocean.

Diana was left all alone, confused by Akko's actions. She looked down at herself.

"I don't understand," she muttered to herself. "Why did Akko just…stop?"

She placed her hands on her buttocks and lightly groped it. "Was she…not pleased?" she asked herself.

She was so fixated on finding out why Akko didn't grab her butt that she didn't notice another woman walking up to her

"I saw everything," she said in a stern voice.

Diana jumped. She looked up…and saw a mean look glaring right back at her.

Looking down at her was a tall and slender young woman, with long black hair cascading down her back, almost reaching to her feet. Looking closely, Diana noticed a red streak that stood out from her black hair.

She had the perfect hourglass body: rounded shoulders, a narrow waist that only complimented her firm, and a prominent bust that was just slightly larger than Diana's.

She also saw that she had a rather thick patch of black hair above her nether regions (which lacked the red streak). She was probably the first young woman Diana had encountered who didn't have their pubic hair trimmed or shaved in any way.

Diana shook her head. "I-I don't know what you're talking about," denied Diana.

"So, you weren't trying to play with your friend's buttocks?" interrogated the young woman.

Diana sputtered. "I most certainly was not!" she protested. "And in any case, how is that any of your own business!?"

"You think she appreciated you doing that?"

"What? Putting sunscreen on her back?" replied Diana.

"The way she was screaming, it didn't look like it. It looked like you were doing more than just putting on sunscreen."

Having already been intimidated by Hiromi and Nora, Diana was not in the mood to argue with another stranger. Diana decided to make her way to the ocean.

But then, the young black-haired woman grabbed her wrist and held her back.

"Hey, let go of me!" Diana shouted, pulling her hand away.

"I'm warning you," said the black-haired woman, ominously, "if Hiromi had seen that, she would have had you both thrown out for violating nudist rule number three ."

"Huh?" Diana asked, confused. "A-and what exactly is nudist rule number three?"

"You should know. Nudist rule number three: no-"

"Hey, Setsuna!" shouted a voice. "What are you doing?!"

Before she could tell Diana about nudist rule number three, two more girls appeared by her side. One was another black-haired girl who looked to be much younger than the girl Diana had been talking to. She was about a head shorter in height and her chest wasn't quite as filled out. She also didn't have as much hair down there, which only added to her younger appearance.

The other girl was about the same height as the tall black-haired girl. Unlike the other two, she had short silver hair which also had a streak of red hair in it. Her chest was more developed than the short black-haired girl, but not quite as much as the tall black-haired girl.

Diana was fascinated by her unique hair color. She was about to question whether the silver hair really was her natural hair color, but one quick look at the girl's nether regions removed all doubt she had.

"What'cha doing? Are you trying to pick a fight with the regulars?" joked the short black-haired girl.

"I was not!" snapped the tall black-haired girl. "This girl was partaking in exhibitionist behavior!"

"Exhibitio...I beg your pardon!" snapped Diana.

"Oh, don't take it too personally," smiled the short black-haired girl, "she's been saying that about all of the nudist people here. A minute ago, she thought this green-haired lady was touching herself."

Diana gasped upon hearing the idea that someone would do such a thing on a public beach.

"W-well, why else would she have her hand down there?!" argued the tall black-haired girl.

"I'm starting to think you're the one with a perverted mind," teased the short one.

"You're the pervert who tricked me to come here!" snapped the tall one.

The silver-haired girl could only sigh. "Seriously Setsuna, you really need to loosen up."

Diana watched as the two black-haired girls continued bickering with each other. " This is becoming more of a strange place with every person I meet, " thought Diana.

Diana then had a sudden realization. " Wait a minute, " she thought. " Did this girl think Akko and I were… "

"Hey, sorry about my sister," the silver-haired girl said, interrupting Diana's train of thought. "This is her first time being here. She's...still having some trouble getting used to being, y'know, naked around others."

Diana took another look at the tall black-haired girl. She still had a nasty scowl on her face and her arms folded across her stomach. But Diana could see that her face was bright red, a sign of insecurity and uncertainty about herself.

"I guess I understand," Diana said, "I brought a first-timer here. Although to my surprise, she adapted rather quickly. But I can understand that others take a little longer, Miss…uh…"

"Towa," said the silver-haired girl. "And that's my sister, Setsuna."

"And I'm Moroha!" the short black-haired girl said, happily.

"Well, you seem pretty cheerful for a first-timer," said Diana. "Didn't take much for you to accept nudism, I take it?"

"Oh, I'm not a first-timer," replied Moroha. "I've been here three times already!"

"This is my second time here," added Towa.

All of a sudden, Setsuna began glaring angrily at both of her siblings. "That's odd," she murmured, coldly. "Didn't you both tell me earlier that you had no idea this was a nudist resort?!"

Then, Towa and Moroha looked at each other. They gritted their teeth and rubbed their necks nervously. "Uh…y-yeah," stammered Towa. "W-we did say that, didn't we?"

"I can't believe you two," groaned Setsuna.

"Oh come on," replied Moroha, "it's not like you have anything to be embarrassed about."

Setsuna gasped as Moroha suddenly pinched her left buttocks. "Stop that!" scolded Setsuna. "What is with you and your obsession with my...b-backside?!"

"Obsession? Oh, come on. Don't tell me you're still mad because I rubbed sunscreen on your butt," teased Moroha.

"Hey, calm down you guys!" warned Towa.

Diana couldn't help but look away. This situation was starting to sound very familiar to her. It was almost eerie.

" I'm in no mood to deal with this lot, " thought Diana.

While the girls were arguing with each other, Diana looked over to the pile of stuff on the beach that Akko had left behind. She saw that there was a spare inner tube lying on top of some other things Akko had brought.

Diana then looked up and saw Akko floating in the water just a few feet away from the shore.

" I think I've met more than enough new people for one day ," she thought.

She grabbed the inner tube and held it around her waist.

"Well," she said, "it seems you three have some issues to work out, so I think it's time for me to take a swim out into the ocean."

Then Diana ran off into the ocean before they had a chance to say anything back to her. They watched as she paddled out into the ocean towards Akko.

"I...think we scared her away," worried Towa.

"Nice job, Setsuna," Moroha scolded, playfully.

Setsuna was too mentally exhausted to come up with a response. "I hate it here," she murmured.


MEANWHILE

Akko held onto her inner tube tightly as the ocean waves gently rocked her back-and-forth. As excited as she was to give nude swimming a try, she found herself unable to properly enjoy it.

Instead, she only peered down at the water, moping to herself.

"It's not fair," she sulked. "Diana's already smart and talented! Why does she also have an amazing body?! Soft skin, big boobies, thick butt, a smooth cooch!"

It was then that Akko felt her heart beating faster and her stomach knotting up. "What's wrong with me?" she asked. "I used to hate Diana. I couldn't stand her. But now…I feel so weird."

"Akko?" said a voice.

Akko suddenly snapped out of her train of thought. She turned around and saw Diana floating in her own inner tube. "D-D-D-Diana! What are you doing here?!" Akko asked, worriedly.

"I got bored on the beach and thought I would join you," answered Diana. "You looked lonely out here by yourself."

Diana swam closer to Akko, close enough to where their inner tubes were bumping into each other. "So, how do you like skinny dipping?" Diana asked.

"It's…fine, I guess," Akko said.

Things went quiet between the two as they both felt awkward to be around each other. Normally, Diana would ask if Akko was alright, but she knew she wasn't. And she also knew why.

"Um, Akko," Diana said, breaking the silence, "about what happened just now."

"Yeah, I'm sorry that I almost groped your butt," said Akko, "I…I don't know what came over me."

"You were quite aggressive," said Diana, "but then again, when I first got nude in front of you, you didn't hesitate to touch my…b-breasts."

"What?! I never…oh wait, yeah I did," Akko said, suddenly remembering what Diana was talking about.

Akko sighed. "So…we're even now?" she asked. "I touched your boobs, you touched mine."

" Accidentally! " added Diana. "And well, not exactly. After all, I touched your rear end, and yet…you didn't touch mine. Why is that?"

Akko gulped. "Oh! Uh, well…"

"I know it wasn't because of a guilty conscience," interrupted Diana. "Was it because…it wasn't good enough for you?"

Akko was stunned at the assertion. "Not good enough?!" Akko asked, shocked. "Are you kidding me?! You have the most amazing butt I've ever seen!"

Despite being in the cold water, Diana could feel her face getting hotter. "Akko, not so loud!" Diana said, embarrassed.

"But I'm serious! Diana, your butt is incredible!" repeated Akko. "It's just so…perfect! Like everything else about you!"

Akko looked down at her own body. "I guess I stopped because…I got…jealous," confessed Akko.

"Jealous?" Diana asked. "But, you were so confident after you finally undressed."

"I was," continued Akko, "but then I saw your butt and it reminded me of how hot you are. Big boobs, firm butt, no hair down there! You're just so pretty! And then, you look at me…"

"Akko, you're forgetting rule number one," warned Diana. "You're fine just the way you are!"

"Yeah right," Akko said, doubtfully, "you're just saying that."

"No, I mean it!" Diana said, more confidently. "Your body is fine the way it is! Sure, maybe you don't have the biggest chest, but that's fine! Yours are big enough! And perky too!"

Akko couldn't help but blush at the idea of Diana, of all people, telling her that her breasts are just right.

Diana continued on. "And maybe your butt isn't as shapely as some of the other girls here, but that's fine too! In fact, I think yours is better than mine!"

Akko gulped as she suddenly placed her hands onto her rear.

"Did you just say mine is…"

"And finally," continued Diana, "stop worrying about having hair down there! It's not like you have a lot anyway! In fact, yours is kinda cute!"

Diana, realizing what she just said, quickly slapped her hand onto her mouth. Akko perked up and looked at her bewildered. "W…wait," Akko said, "did you just say my pubes were…cute?"

"I didn't mean for it to...I mean," stammered Diana. "What I mean is, well, it...may just be hair, but…"

No matter how hard Diana tried, she couldn't form anything resembling a coherent sentence.

Akko looked down at her groin. She gently tugged at the thin patch of brown hair that was growing, wondering how anyone could call it "cute."

"Well, that's a new one," she said. "You know, I've been meaning to ask you, how come you don't have any down there?"

"I don't know!" snapped Diana. "I just don't think it suits me! But it looks fine on you!"

Diana then crossed her arms and looked away. "Can we please just move on from talking about... that?! " she pouted.

"But…you're the one that brought it up," said Akko.

"The point I'm making is I think you look beautiful naked! And I couldn't imagine you to have a large chest or big bottom! So stop moping so much!"

Akko was surprised to hear Diana praised her body so much. Back at Luna Nova, Diana was more likely to make fun of her for all the things she just complimented. She couldn't help but smile. She really wished Diana would stay this way forever.

But before Akko could worry about the future, she suddenly had an idea to help lighten the mood between them.

With Diana still looking the other way, Akko reached down into the ocean and threw a big splash of water to her face. "Hey!" snapped Diana. "What was that for?!"

"I appreciate you saying all that," Akko said, "but…you still tried to grab my butt! And for that, you must be punished!"

Akko splashed her again. "Really, Akko?" Diana asked, sternly. "A splash fight?"

Akko responded by splashing some more water in Diana's face. Diana put her arm up to protect herself. "Stop that!" scolded Diana, "the saltwater is bad for my hair!"

"Well, that's your fault for getting in," replied Akko.

Akko kept throwing water towards Diana while she tried in vain to protect herself. "Okay, that does it!" she snapped.

Akko giggled as Diana then began splashing back at Akko. The two of them kept splashing water at each other, with Akko even trying to swim away from Diana to avoid her splashes. Eventually, Diana couldn't help but smile and laugh along with Akko.

The two continued playing in the ocean until their fingers and toes began to get pruney.


Off in the distance, Aimi was watching them from the top of a cliff that overlooked the ocean. She watched as they playfully splashed each other with water.

"What a difference from this morning," she said, remembering how awkward and nervous both Akko and Diana were when they first arrived.

She had a pair of fresh towels in her hands. But hidden in-between them was a note. On the front, it read "GIVE TO DIANA. DON'T LET AKKO SEE IT!"

Aimi took a deep breath. "I hope you know what you're doing, mom," she said to herself. "Let's hope they don't blow the place up with an Explosion Spell."


TO BE CONTINUED…

A/N: So yeah, Setsuna. I don't think I have to tell you who she (or her siblings) is named after.

In the last chapter, I couldn't decide between either her or...another character (think a very tall girl from a demon school), as I thought it would be interesting to portray either of them as a nudist. Eventually, I went with Setsuna since I've been watching the show a lot recently.

And originally, it was going to be Setsuna and ONLY her. But I was having trouble writing dialogue for her and explaining why she would be at a nudist resort, so I decided to bring in her sister and cousin. And honestly, now I'm thinking about featuring them in their own nudist story! Haha...

Next chapter, Diana and Akko make their way to the "secret spot." And, let's just say there may be more than just "nudist" magic happening there. Things are starting to come together now! I'm looking forward to writing the next few chapters!
