A/N: Alright, it's showtime! I hope I was able to piece together a decent show that seems realistic enough for Akko and Diana to perform and keeps to the lore of the show!
Let me know what you guys think!
Enjoy!
Chapter 13: The Wondrous World of Nudist Magic!
It was the day of the big Nudist Summer Festival at the Hadaka Beach Resort! The usually tranquil beach resort was now bustling with all sorts of nudist women taking part in a wide range of activities, from yoga to body painting to hiking to volleyball.
As all the women were busy enjoying the festivities, Hiromi walked all around the resort, making sure that everyone was happy and that everything was running smoothly.
"I love Summer Festival time!" she sighed to herself. "It warms my heart seeing everyone so happy and free!"
"Hey, mom!"
Hiromi then saw her daughter, Aimi, running up to her. She giggled as her daughter's body had yellow sunflowers painted all over her. "Had fun with body painting, huh?" she asked.
"I always do!" Aimi replied, cheerfully. "It's a shame Akko wasn't there. I bet she would absolutely love it!"
"Maybe she and Diana can join in tomorrow," said Hiromi. "Right now, they're busy working on…something special."
"So I heard. You know what they're going to do?"
Hiromi smiled as she thought about them practicing their magic at the secret spot. "I guess we'll find out later tonight," said Hiromi.
LATER THAT NIGHT…
As night fell over the resort, just about every nudist woman at the resort crowded the shores of the beach, awaiting the start of the big nighttime bonfire and dance.
Body painting proved to be a popular activity, as more than half of the women had their bodies painted in all sorts of outlandish ways.
A raised platform with a microphone had been set up in the middle of the crowd, allowing Hiromi to stand and talk over everyone.
"Good evening, everyone!" Hiromi said, cheerfully. "Thank you for joining us tonight! We hope you all enjoyed day one of our annual Nudist Summer Festival!"
The large crowd of nudist women cheered and hollered.
Hiromi continued on. "Normally, we would be having our nighttime bonfire-and-dance right here on the beach. However, I've decided to postpone that to tomorrow night to close out our festival. Instead, we have two first-timers who will be putting on a different kind of show for you. Tonight, you will all have the pleasure of experiencing…a nude magic show!"
Everyone in the audience began murmuring. Many were upset about the bonfire being postponed, but others were curious as to what was going to be in this nude magic show.
"Now, now," said Hiromi. "This is unlike any magic show you know of. No rabbits in hats or people getting sawed in half. In fact, you're going to see things that you won't believe are actually happening! The show will start in just a few moments."
Off in the distance, away from the view of everyone, Akko and Diana stood on the beach, their broomstick at the ready. They were waiting for the cue to start their show.
Diana took a deep breath. "Nervous?" asked Akko. "Yeah, I am too. This is going to be the first time I put on a show like this for a crowd of people. I only wish we had more time to rehearse."
"I suppose that's my fault," Diana said, regretfully. "If I had only told you sooner…"
Diana was cut off when Akko tapped her in the stomach with her wand. Diana looked at Akko and saw her smiling back at her. "There's no point in moping about it, especially this close to showtime," Akko said, kindly. "Let's just go out there and show everyone what two nudist witches can do!"
Diana nodded her head approvingly. She and Akko then put on their witch's hat.
Everyone on the beach began to grow restless as they waited and waited for the show to start.
"Man, I've been waiting all day for the bonfire!" complained Moroha. "This magic show better be good!"
"I'm sure it'll be fun," reassured Mio.
Aimi ran up to her mom onstage. "Mom, are we going to start the show soon?" she asked, anxiously.
Hiromi looked out to the horizon. She could barely make out Akko and Diana in the distance. "I think they're ready now," Hiromi said.
She then put two fingers up to her lips and blew on them.
All of a sudden, the tiki torches that were placed all along the beach went out and the hotel lights turned off. The crowd murmured loudly as the whole resort was plunged into complete darkness.
Akko and Diana watched as the resort went dark. "Okay, here we go," Diana said, somewhat nervously. As confident as Diana was in her magical abilities, she had never used her magic for the purpose of entertaining a crowd.
She was fortunate to have Akko at her side. Akko had always been a show woman and knew more about the art of entertaining a crowd than Diana did.
"Okay, just like we rehearsed," whispered Akko.
"Let's hope nothing goes wrong," worried Diana.
"Even if it does, we'll improvise!" Akko said, cheerfully.
Diana took a deep breath and flicked her wand at the crowd of people.
The beach then began to light up with many tiny lights. The two witches hopped onto their broomstick and took off towards the resort.
"Don't worry everyone!" Hiromi said, trying to calm everyone down. "I just thought turning off the lights would better enhance the show!"
Hiromi then looked up to the sky. "My, my! The stars sure look pretty tonight, don't they?" she said.
The crowd looked up…and were amazed to see so many stars twinkling in the sky. With the lights shut off, it looked as if they were shining brighter than ever.
"Whoa…so pretty…"
"I've never seen this man stars before."
While everyone gawked at the sight above them, Nora noticed something off about the stars.
"Uh, is it me, or are those stars getting closer to us?" asked Nora.
Suddenly, the stars from the sky began swirling around each other. They flew lower and lower to the crowd until everyone could see that the "stars" were really a large horde of small, glowing fireflies.
"Is this part of the show?" asked one of the nudist women.
One of the women tapped one of the glowing fireflies, which made it burst into a bright light! The other fireflies followed suit. The lights then shot up into the air and began swirling above the crowd, leaving behind tiny trails that wowed everyone.
It was here that Akko and Diana finally made their appearance! They rode in on their broomstick, first skimming the sea and then flying high above the crowd, before finally landing on the stage!
Although confused as to how it all happened, the crowd nevertheless clapped their hands, amazed by the spectacle. Now they knew they were in for something truly special.
"Welcome one and all!" Akko shouted with glee. "I'm Atsuko Kagari!"
"And I'm Diana Cavendish!" Diana said, proudly.
"And we are both…nudist witch extraordinaires!" added Akko.
"Uh…y-yes," stammered Diana, "we are indeed…n-nudist witches! Extraordinaires!"
Diana hid her face in embarrassment.
"Hey, I know those two!" shouted Nora.
"Me too!" added Mio.
"Did they say they were…witches?" Setsuna asked, confused.
"I think it's all for show," reassured Towa.
Akko paid no attention and continued on. "Tonight, we're all here to celebrate nudism and the magic it brings to all of us! Nudism unleashes a special kind of magic that allows you to do amazing things!"
"That's right," said Diana, recovering from her previous embarrassment, "Nudism is what gives us the energy and power to lift ten times our own strength!"
Nora couldn't help but put on a cocky smile as she patted the muscle on her left arm.
"Nudism is what relaxes us and brings us inner peace," continued Akko.
Mio nodded her head in agreement.
"Nudism brings people closer together, even those you never thought you'd ever get along with," finished Diana.
Towa and Moroha looked at Setsuna. She gave them a half-hearted smile. She hated to admit it, but she was beginning to enjoy being nude.
"Nudism does wonderful things for each and every one of us," said Akko.
Akko and Diana then raised their wands. "And now," said Akko, "we'd like to show you what nudism has done for us! Welcome…to the World…of Nudist Magic!"
Akko and Diana flicked their wands up into the air! From the ocean, a powerful stream of water shot high up into the sky! It kept going and going…until it unexpectedly exploded like a firecracker! Everyone gasped as the sky began to light up with magnificent explosions of color and sparkles. With the resort completely dark, the stars and lights were reflected by the ocean, creating a beautiful display for everyone!
Then, to everyone's surprise, the tide came in and covered the entire beach, soaking everyone's feet! Some of the nudist women were ready to run away from the cold water, but they looked down at their feet and saw that the water was reflecting the bright starry sky, including the fireworks and the moon. It made it look like everyone was suspended in mid-air with the sky all around them.
"So far, so good," murmured Diana.
Diana then noticed the women who had their bodies painted with all sorts of patterns.
"Okay, now let's show them some magic they've never seen before!" said Akko.
"Wait! I have an idea," Diana said, as she flicked her wand towards the crowd.
Aimi was in front of the stage. She clapped her hands and laughed as she watched the fireworks in the sky. She was caught off-guard when the sunflowers painted on her body began to glow and fly off her body.
She wasn't the only one. Many of the women were surprised to see their body art coming off their bodies and into the sky. Things like sunflowers, snakes, miniature suns, cat whiskers, and all kinds of geometric shapes shot up into the sky, only adding to the already busy sky. The women giggled, as they continued to enjoy everything that was happening, but they were also beginning to experience a sensory overload.
"Alright, now let's really show them something amazing!" shouted Akko.
The two witches mounted the broomstick and took to the sky again. They swooped down and flew over the crowd, narrowly avoiding the heads of several nudist women. As they zoomed by, all of the fireworks stopped and the body art patterns returned to their owners' bodies.
"Ready?" Akko asked, preparing her wand.
"Ready!" replied Diana, also preparing her wand.
As their feet skimmed the surface of the sea, they pointed their wands at the ocean and began to fly up towards the sky. As they flew up, a wall of water rose up from the sea and high into the air!
From the wall of water, a pack of giant unicorns emerged and stormed their way toward the crowd.
The women screamed as it looked like they were going to be trampled by these large unicorns! Diana saw this and, thinking fast, quickly cast another spell.
"No, please! Don't hurt me!" shouted Mio.
She braced herself as she expected to be stepped on by the unicorn. Instead, she felt one of them nudging her in the ribs.
That's when she realized that the unicorns had stopped just before running into everyone. She also saw that they shrunk down to a more manageable size, almost to the size of baby unicorns. Mio laughed as the unicorn kept nudging her.
"There's no way these things are real," said Nora.
"They feel real to me," Aimi said, as she brushed her fingers through the mane of one of the unicorns.
Akko and Diana watched from above as everyone petted and played with the unicorns. But Diana wasn't done yet. She cast another spell on the unicorns.
Then, the unicorns grew back to their original size! Some of the nudist women were caught off-guard when the unicorns threw them onto their backs and began riding off with them. They held on for dear life as the unicorns raced around the beach.
At first, the women were terrified of riding around at high-speeds on top of these mythical creatures. But as the adrenaline settled in, the screams of fright became screams of excitement.
"And you said you didn't know how to put on a show," mocked Akko.
"What can I say?" replied Diana. "I guess I'm catching onto this faster than I thought."
Diana then looked at Akko. "Ready for the next part?" she asked.
Akko sighed. "Just follow my lead," reassured Diana. "And remember, smooth and graceful."
The two then landed in the shallow part of the ocean, the baby unicorns quickly surrounding them. Using their wands, they "lifted" up a stream of water.
The crowd watched as they danced and hopped around with the unicorns, their streams following the tips of their wands, dancing in unison.
"Oh wow!" gasped Mio. "It's like a ballet!"
"Well…except one of them isn't exactly light on their feet," commented Moroha.
Akko tried twirling her wand around in her hands, much like her idol Shiny Chariot did when she saw her show. But instead, her wand slipped from her hands and nearly fell into the ocean! Luckily, Akko managed to catch it before it disappeared into the sea. And her water stream was still intact.
Diana noticed Akko's minor slip-up and she quickly stepped in.
"Remember, you're not Shiny Chariot," she told her. "You…are Atsuko Kagari! And this is not her show, it's yours!"
Diana then extended her hand toward Akko. "Come," she said, "let's do this together!"
Akko didn't hesitate to take Diana's hand. The two then continued their performance, twirling the water around as they danced hand-in-hand.
At one point, Akko and Diana managed to get a good look at one another's faces. Akko saw that Diana had a stern look on her face, but not because she was annoyed or not enjoying herself. Rather, she could tell that Diana was taking her performance very seriously.
But one look at Akko's smiling face was all it took for Diana to snap out of her serious demeanor and start laughing along with her.
As everyone was focused on Akko and Diana dancing in the ocean, Hiromi quietly slipped away from the crowd. She walked behind the stage, reached down, and dug her wand out which she hid in the sand. "I promised myself I wouldn't get involved in the show," she whispered to herself, "but…oh! I can't help it!"
Eventually, Akko and Diana ended their dance. The water returned to the ocean and the unicorns disappeared, almost bringing everything back to normal.
They stood still for a moment, which allowed everyone to cheer and clap for them. Akko was elated at the sound of everyone applauding for her.
Suddenly, the ocean beneath their feet began to rumble. The tide pulled back from the shore, knocking them off their feet and dragging them deeper into the ocean!
"Uh, Akko…what's happening?!" asked Diana, as she frantically tried to swim away.
All of a sudden, a giant hand appeared below them and lifted them both up high over the crowd! "What the?! This isn't part of the show!" cried Akko.
They looked down and saw Aphrodite emerging from the sea. The crowd was stunned to see such a large water woman appear from out of nowhere. "Whoa! Giant water lady!" shouted Moroha.
"And she's got big honkers!" shouted a green-haired woman.
"This magic show is something else," laughed Nora.
Aphrodite eyed the two witches in her hand and smiled. "Hello again," she said.
"Aphrodite?!" Diana asked, shocked by her appearance.
"What are you doing here?" asked Akko.
"I hope you don't mind," she replied, "I just wanted to see the show for myself. What you've done with the power of nudist magic has been nothing short of breathtaking!"
"Uh, thanks!" Akko said. "I'm glad you're enjoying the show!"
"Seems like everyone is enjoying the show," said Aphrodite.
Akko looked over Aphrodite's fingers and saw everyone gazing up at her.
Just then, the Shiny Rod materialized in Akko's hands. It began to glow brightly. "Now, let's end the show with a bang! Uh, so to speak," said Aphrodite.
Akko and Diana turned to face each other. "Let's do it!" Akko said, proudly.
"Right!" replied Diana.
Akko and Diana both put their hands on the Shiny Rod and held it up high to the sky. They closed their eyes and focused both of their magical energies to the Shiny Rod. They then shouted the magic words.
"Noctu…Orfei…Aude…FRAETOR!"
The Shiny Rod gave off a bright flash before transforming into a large bow and arrow. They aimed the arrow straight up to the sky and yelled out…
"Shiny…ARC!"
They pulled back as far as they could and released the arrow, sending it to soar high into the air! Everyone watched as the bright green arrow disappeared into the sky. They gasped as a large portal opened up!
Akko, Diana, and Aphrodite looked down and smiled at the audience. "All of us have a special magic within," Aphrodite said. "But it takes more than just being nude."
"It's all about believing in yourself!" said Diana.
"For that…is your magic!" finished Akko.
Then, with all of her might, Aphrodite chucked Akko and Diana straight up into the sky towards the portal. Fortunately, they managed to grab onto their broom. They held on tight as they flew up high through the portal! The portal closed up behind them…and exploded in a bright, brilliant green light that lit up the entire sky. Everyone in the crowd covered their eyes as the light temporarily blinded them.
When they were able to open their eyes again, all that was left were a few sparkling lights that faded away.
And just like that, everything returned to normal. The flames on the tiki torches lit up again, the lights on the hotel buildings came back on, and the tide returned to how it was before the show started.
"Was…that it?" one of the women asked.
Everyone looked around and saw that Akko and Diana were nowhere to be seen. Even Aphrodite had disappeared! They looked everywhere, but they couldn't find them.
"Where'd they go?"
"They really just disappeared on us?"
Before anyone could ask any more questions, there came a loud holler! "Woooo!" shouted Moroha. "That was AWESOME!"
Moroha clapped her hands and cheered loudly. Towa and Setsuna joined in with her. Eventually, every woman joined in until the entire beach roared with thunderous applause!
After the show, Akko and Diana snuck away from everyone and flew back to the room without anyone noticing.
As their feet touched the floor, Diana could hear the faint noise of the applause coming from the beach. She leaned over the railing and saw the beach still packed with people celebrating. "Will you listen to that ovation?!" she said, proudly. "You must be very proud, Akko. It was your magic show debut and it appears that it was a smashing success!"
Diana waited for Akko to respond. But Akko said nothing.
"Akko?" Diana asked, confused.
She turned around to face her…and was surprised by Akko putting her head on her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around Diana's waist, hugging her tightly.
Unlike the last few times, Diana didn't mind Akko's unexpected embrace. In fact, Diana smiled. She wrapped her arms around Akko's body and pulled her in closer, this time not caring that their bare bodies were pressed against one another.
"I imagine this is quite a moment for you," she whispered kindly. "You're beginning to realize your dream of being a great witch. I'm happy for you, Akko."
Diana was interrupted when she heard what sounded like Akko snoring. She gently shook Akko's body, but she got no reaction.
"Akko, are you…asleep?!" she asked, shocked.
One quick glance at Akko's face confirmed that the little witch had indeed checked out for the night! Her eyes were shut tight and she had trouble lifting her head up.
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised," sighed Diana, "we did practice throughout the whole night. You would be absolutely knackered."
Diana then let out a loud yawn. "Oh dear, as am I," she said, wearily.
Slinging Akko's arm across the back of her neck, Diana dragged themselves into their room, ready to call it a night.
Little did they know that down the hall, Hiromi was watching them. She smiled as the two tired witches retreated back into their room.
"Oh, how I wish Eda was here," she said to herself. "She would have gotten a kick out of this!"
With a loud grunt, Diana threw Akko onto one of the beds in the room. Even though they only had to walk a few steps, Akko dragging her feet made it slightly challenging for Diana to carry her. Surprisingly, even with Diana being slightly rough with her, Akko still didn't wake up.
Diana pulled off her bedsheets and threw them over Akko's nude body before stepping into her own bed. Diana lamented not taking a bath to wash the sand and sweat from her body, but she was so exhausted, she couldn't be bothered. " I'll just have to take my bath in the morning, " she thought.
With her head pressed against her cool pillow and Diana allowing the cool air to caress her body, it took very little time for Diana to close her eyes and fall into a deep slumber.
…
…
…
Not even five minutes later, Diana was suddenly wide awake! She felt someone climbing into bed with her and throwing their arms around her! Diana's heart began racing…
…
…until she realized that there could only be one possible person who would be in her bed right now.
"Akko, what are you doing?" she groaned.
Indeed, Akko had climbed out of her bed and had snuck her way into the same bed Diana was sleeping in.
"Akko, go back to your own bed," ordered Diana.
But Akko didn't. Despite Diana's best efforts to push back, Akko managed to wrap her arms around Diana's waist and held her tightly. "Akko, I'm serious!" scolded Diana. "I know you're awake!"
Akko said nothing. Diana tried to pull Akko's arms apart and break free, but even while asleep, Akko had a firm grip on her.
Diana sighed. "Fine, I guess you can stay," she yawned. She was far too tired to fight with her.
However, much to Diana's surprise, she found Akko's body pressed against hers to be rather soothing, as much as she hated to admit it.
She let out a sigh of relief. "Good night, Akko," whispered Diana.
"...good night…Diana…" Akko whispered back.
And so, after Diana adjusted Akko's arms so they weren't pressed against the underside of her breasts, the two witches finally drifted off for a well-deserved rest.
TO BE CONTINUED…
