A/N: Here's the next chapter! A bit shorter this time around with a bit more talking and meeting the one in charge of the resort. But don't worry. Next chapter we'll begin seeing our young nudists...exploring their bodies a tad bit more, if you get my meaning. Enjoy!
Chapter 3: A Dip in the Pool
Zakuro then looked up at everyone else. "So Minto has nice legs, I have big breasts, Ichigo has a firm butt, and Lettuce has an innie vagina," she said, summarizing their exercise. "Now that we've all been complimented on different parts of our bodies, how do we feel?"
"Surprised," said Ichigo.
"I never had anyone say my vagina was great," squeaked Lettuce.
"That's how I felt when you said I had a great butt," Ichigo said.
"But don't you feel better about yourselves?" Zakuro asked.
"…a little bit," murmured Ichigo.
"Me too," agreed Lettuce.
Zakuro then turned to Minto. "And what about you, Minto?" asked Zakuro.
"Yes, yes, okay," Minto said. "I get it. We're all beautiful in our own way. It's starting to becoming a little too preachy now."
Zakuro laughed softly. "Well, let's see if you really learned your lesson," Zakuro said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Minto.
Zakuro reached down and picked up her bag. "Well, I think we've been in this room long enough," she said. "Come on, everyone."
"Where are we going?" Lettuce asked.
"We're going to the pool," answered Zakuro. "I think it's time you met the other nudists here!"
Despite a few objections, the four Mew Mew girls gathered their belongings and made their way to the pool area.
While Zakuro and Minto were still flashing their bodies to anyone who happened to pass by, Ichigo and Lettuce wore towels around themselves, covering everything but their legs. They made a deal with Zakuro that they would be able to wear towels until they reached the pool area. Once there, they would agree to remove their towels for the rest of their stay.
"I understand that you two are still shy," said Zakuro. "But have you noticed that by wearing towels and covering yourselves, you're actually the ones who stand out?"
"I'm sorry Zakuro," whispered Lettuce. "It's one thing to be nude in front of you, Ichigo, and Minto…"
"…but it's another thing to be naked in front of other people," finished Ichigo.
"But I already told you," said Zakuro. "There's nothing to worry about here. Plus, everyone else is nude. It doesn't seem fair to them for you to cover yourselves up."
"And besides," said Minto, "with how some of these people look, you two are supermodels in compari-"
Minto was interrupted when Zakuro grabbed her by the ear and pulled it tightly. "Ow-ow-ow! I was giving a compliment!" Minto cried out in pain.
"Minto, didn't I tell you to stop shaming other people?" warned Zakuro.
Zakuro mercifully let go of Minto's ear. Despite Zakuro's words of encouragement and Minto's (sort of) compliments, Ichigo and Lettuce still felt uneasy.
Soon, they arrived at the resort pool area. They found some lounge chairs next to the pool and placed their stuff down.
"Alright you two," Zakuro said to Ichigo and Lettuce. "We're here at the pool now. You know the deal. Towels off!"
Ichigo and Lettuce clutched onto their towels tightly. They both knew they should honor their part of the deal. But they still didn't feel ready. Zakuro sighed. "I told you, there's nothing to worry about," she said. "It's not like anyone we know is here."
Minto then had a wicked grin on her face.
"I-I-I don't know," replied Ichigo.
"Oh come on, Ichigo," said Minto. "Don't you want to show off your great butt to Masaya over there?"
Ichigo jumped and quickly turned around. "He's here?! Where?!" shouted Ichigo.
Before Ichigo realized that she had been tricked, Minto grabbed her towel and yanked it off, exposing her nude body to everyone! Ichigo shouted as Minto quickly ran away with Ichigo's towel. "Minto, you jerk!" Ichigo shouted as she ran after her trying to cover her breasts. "Come back here!"
"Hey you two! Stop running around like a bunch of children!" scolded Zakuro.
Neither of the two listened. Ichigo chased Minto all around the pool. "Stop you guys!" shouted Lettuce. "You're gonna slip and fall!"
But it was too late. Ichigo's foot slipped on the wet tiles and she went flying towards Minto!
The entrance to the pool opened and a woman carrying a large load of towels walked in. Minto and Ichigo couldn't stop themselves and slammed right into her! The towels she was carrying flew high up into the air and she was knocked to the ground.
Zakuro and Lettuce finally managed to catch up. They saw unraveled towels everywhere along with Ichigo, Minto, and the woman lying on the floor. "Ow…my butt," groaned Ichigo.
"Are you alright?!" Lettuce asked, worriedly.
Before Lettuce got her answer, Zakuro chopped both Ichigo and Minto in the heads. The two lied on the floor with big, goose-egg-shaped bumps on their heads. "That's enough fighting you two!" scolded Zakuro. "You're making me look bad!"
Ichigo and Minto then realized that everyone in the pool area was now staring right at them, with faces ranging from confused to incredibly annoyed. They were both feeling really embarrassed.
Zakuro then became horrified when she a woman lying on her back, groaning. "Hiromi!" she shouted.
Zakuro ran past Ichigo and Minto and kneeled beside the woman. "Hiromi, are you alright?" she asked, worriedly.
To her relief, the woman slowly sat up. "Whoa…what happened?' she said, dazed.
She was a middle-aged woman, with long brown hair that reached past her shoulders and halfway down her back. Much like the receptionist, she also had a flower in her hair (a red one this time) and wore a sarong around her waist, which also didn't do much to cover her nude body. She was a tad bit on the chubbier side, with wider hips, slightly meatier thighs, and a more pronounced gut. But they were well-toned and her skin was very smooth, with hardly any skin blemishes anywhere.
Ichigo and Minto, realizing they screwed up big time, quickly ran around and picked up the towels scattered around. They folded them nicely to the best of their abilities and handed them to Hiromi.
"We're really sorry about knocking you down," Minto said, bowing to her.
"Please don't kick Zakuro out!" pleaded Ichigo.
"Oh, that's quite alright," replied Hiromi, now back on her feet. "I know how you young people are! Always running around, so full of energy! Being a young nudist will do that to you!"
"Still, they need to be more careful," warned Zakuro. "Right, you two?!"
The two stiffened as Zakuro glared right at them. They quickly bowed to her and Hiromi. "Good," said Zakuro. "Now then, let me introduce you all to Hiromi."
"Hello!" Hiromi said, cheerfully.
"She runs the resort," added Zakuro. "Hiromi, these are my friends: Ichigo, Minto, and Lettuce."
"It's good to meet you all!" Hiromi said.
"It's nice to meet you too," Ichigo said, nervously.
"You know, you look a lot like that girl upfront," mentioned Minto.
"Who? You mean Aimi?" replied Hiromi. "Yep! That's my daughter! She helps me runs the front desk and sometimes with everything else."
Hiromi then eyed all of the Mew Mew girls. "Oh my! Aren't you all a pretty bunch?" she said, happily.
But then, she noticed a nervous Lettuce clinging onto her towel. "At least…I think you are," she said.
She reached over and snapped the towel away from Lettuce, thus allowing everyone to see her form. Lettuce yelped and went to cover herself. "Don't be shy now!" she said. "Just let it all hang loose! Feel the ocean wind on your bodies."
Hiromi then kneeled down and examined Lettuce's body. "Oh wow! You have an innie just like my daughter!" she praised.
Lettuce let out a squeal and quickly covered her privates. "Why is everyone suddenly pointing that out?!" she asked.
"Is this your first time being a nudist?" Hiromi asked.
Lettuce nodded her head. "It's their first time too," Zakuro said, referring to Ichigo and Minto.
"Well, well! Like I always say, the more the merrier!"
"They're still getting used to being nude," mentioned Zakuro.
"First-time jitters, huh?" replied Hiromi. "Not to worry! By tomorrow morning, you all will feel very comfortable without clothes! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you started to hate wearing clothes again!"
Hiromi's warm and cheerful demeanor helped the girls feel a little less awkward. Lettuce, however, still had her hands over her crotch. Hiromi grabbed her hands and helped to move them away. "I said it's okay," she said, sweetly. "No one here is going to judge."
"This one might," Zakuro said, referring to Minto.
"I'm just worried about…y'know…what the nudist boys will think," stammered Lettuce.
"Boys? What boys?" Hiromi asked.
"You know…all the naked boys here!" replied Ichigo.
"I don't see any boys," replied Hiromi. "See for yourself!"
Ichigo, Minto, and Lettuce took a look around and, for the first time, noticed something important about the pool area and the entire nudist resort.
All around, they saw women and young girls either relaxing, sunbathing or playing in the pool. They were all unique in her own right. Some were skinny, others chubby. Some women were significantly taller than the others, and others were sometimes shorter than the others. When it came to the more delicate areas, some had rather large chests (almost at G-cups) while some were flat-chested. And each woman had varying degrees of pubic hair, from being very hairy to having no hair!
But more importantly, there wasn't a single male to be found anywhere.
"There are no boys here," Ichigo said, feeling a bit more relieved.
"That's right!" Hiromi said, proudly. "The Hadaka Beach Resort is strictly a women's-only resort!"
"I'm guessing that's another reason why you like to come here," Minto said to Zakuro.
Zakuro nodded. "Since most of the paparazzi who try to follow me are men, even if they knew I was here, they wouldn't be let in."
"The last thing this place needs is a bunch of perverts with cameras coming here," Hiromi said, indignantly.
She then smiled at the three. "I know that it can be hard to join the nudist lifestyle, especially for young girls," she explained, "it's bad enough that young girls like yourselves are still having trouble being comfortable in your own skin without someone making fun of you…"
"Yeah, Minto," sneered Ichigo.
"…I know that the last thing girls want is pervert boys looking all over their goodie-goodies and trying to do…unspeakable things with you. There's nothing sexual about being a nudist. It's all about shedding your clothes and feeling free and at peace. And so that's why I created a safe haven for all young girls and grown women to be nude. Where they don't have to worry about crying children or horny husbands or curious teenage boys…"
"Wait, no children?" Minto asked.
Minto looked over at an older woman sitting in the corner of the pool area underneath an umbrella. In her hands was a small baby, who she was singing peacefully to sleep. "But what about her?" she asked.
Hiromi took note of the woman with the baby. "Well…I say we don't allow children," said Hiromi, "However, that particular guest just recently became a mother. So we decided to bend the rules slightly for mothers with their infants."
Lettuce squinted her eyes. She saw that the baby in the woman's arms was also sucking at her breast. "Oh my!" she exclaimed. "Is she…feeding her baby…in broad daylight?!"
"Well, of course! It's only natural for a mother to breastfeed their children, especially when they're that young," Hiromi said.
"Do you have a problem with her breast-feeding, Lettuce?" asked Zakuro.
"Oh no, certainly not!" replied Lettuce. "Uh…I was…just surprised is all. You don't see mothers breastfeeding in public too often."
"Society might have a problem with it, but we don't here!" boasted Hiromi. "We're very popular with mothers for that reason. I don't mind mothers breastfeeding here. And neither do the other guests."
Hiromi then picked up the towels. "I need to get back to the front desk, but I'll see you guys later today for dinner!"
Everyone waved good-bye as Hiromi left the pool area and headed to the front desk. Zakuro then turned to the other Mew Mew girls. "So…what do you think? Do you feel a little better now?"
"A little bit," replied Lettuce.
"Good!" Zakuro said. "Now let's all go for a swim!"
Zakuro then pushed Ichigo and Minto, making them fall back into the pool. Luckily, no one was in the way. Zakuro wasted no time jumping into the pool after them, tucking her legs in as she did. Lettuce was a bit shocked to see Zakuro act so spontaneously.
All three girls reappeared on the surface. Minto tied her long hair back. "This water is really cold!" she complained.
"Oh get over it!" Ichigo said, splashing Minto in the face.
"Come on in, Lettuce!" Ichigo said to Lettuce.
Lettuce took a deep breath and smiled. She then took her glasses off and set them down with everyone else's belongings. "Okay!" she shouted, happily.
Lettuce stepped back and then jumped into the pool, performing a cannonball as she did. She created a big splash that nearly drowned the others. But they laughed it off and continued playing and having a good time.
From a distance, Hiromi watched as the four Mew Mew girls played and splashed each other in the pool. She smiled and went about her way to the front desk.
"Well, they've certainly gotten used to being nude," she said to herself. "And a good thing too! But…let's hope they don't get too comfortable with being nude. Not like that kinky blond woman we had a few months ago…"
