Multiverse: SSS-Rank Treasure Chest at the Beginning

Chapter 282 282: Suzune's Phone Call

"Haruka, what's wrong?" Airi asked curiously.

"Wait a moment. The strap is a bit tight, I can't pull it up." Haruka was trying to pull the strap behind her back, but her ample bosom made it difficult to exert force.

"Let me help you." Tenya proactively offered to help.

"Huh? Wait, even if it's help, shouldn't Airi be the one to do it? How can you..."

Before Haruka could respond, she was shocked to find that Tenya had already entered the changing room.

"Yo."

"Yo your head. I'm going to scream."

"Calm down."

"How can I calm down?!"

"If you keep shouting, I'll have to cover your mouth." Tenya stepped forward and cupped her cheeks with both hands.

"You...!" Haruka's eyes widened.

"Shh, don't move." Tenya spread his arms and carefully pulled up her strap, even tying a beautiful bow.

"Hmph! What a reckless guy. What in the world are you thinking?! Making such a rash move." Haruka glared at him, annoyed.

"I can't help it, my body acted on its own before my brain could think." Tenya shrugged, looking serious.

"Which anime is that line from? It's too chuunibyou." Haruka indicated she wasn't falling for his tricks.

"No, according to the plot of a certain kind of anime, we should be fighting by now." Tenya reached out and gently held her long blue hair.

"Um..."

"Tenya-kun and Haruka, are you done?" Airi's jealous voice sounded from outside the door.

"Almost." Haruka quickly tied up her hair and tidied her clothes.

At the same time, she couldn't help but glare at Tenya several times.

It's all your fault. You made Airi jealous.

"I don't think Airi is that kind of narrow-minded woman, you know. As long as there's love, even a harem is fine." Tenya, as always, adhered to his philosophy of universal love, and he never hid his thoughts.

"Oh, right, you're so great." Haruka sighed deeply.

...

"Airi, Haruka, are you both ready?"

Tenya stood outside the changing room, a characteristic gentle smile on his face, his eyes subtly flickering with anticipation.

"Almost ready." Airi poked her head out of the changing room, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes carrying a hint of shyness and anticipation.

She had just changed into a pink halter-neck swimsuit that perfectly accentuated her figure. Although she felt it was a bit revealing, with Tenya's encouragement, she decided to give it a try.

Haruka's movements were much slower. She stood in front of the mirror, repeatedly examining the sky-blue swimsuit on her body. The design of this swimsuit was very daring. It not only highlighted her figure but also made her feel an unprecedented sense of confidence. However, her heart was somewhat conflicted.

On one hand, she didn't want Airi to misunderstand anything. On the other hand, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to show herself off.

"Haruka, are you still in there?"

Tenya's voice sounded again, with a hint of teasing and urging, "Are you shy, perhaps?"

"Who... who would be shy?!"

Haruka's face instantly turned bright red. She glared fiercely at the changing room door, then took a deep breath and bravely walked out. When she appeared before Tenya and Airi, both of them couldn't help but light up.

Haruka's figure was already outstanding, and with the swimsuit's enhancement, she looked even more stunning. Her long blue hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her eyes held a hint of stubbornness and confidence.

"Wow, Haruka, you look incredibly beautiful." Airi exclaimed, her eyes filled with a touch of envy.

"Hmph, don't give me that." Although Haruka said this, a hint of a proud smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

She turned to look at Tenya, a hint of challenge flashing in her eyes. "How about it, does this swimsuit suit me?"

Tenya's gaze swept over Haruka, a flicker of admiration appearing in his eyes.

He smiled slightly and said, "It's very suitable, Haruka. This swimsuit not only highlights your figure but also makes you look more confident and beautiful. However..."

"However what?" Haruka's brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Tenya warily.

"However, I think you could be even bolder."

Tenya's lips curved into a playful smile and he said, "For example, tie your hair up, it will look more refreshing and energetic."

"You..."

Haruka's expression instantly became somewhat hesitant. She glared at Tenya but still unconsciously tidied her hair according to his suggestion. With her hair tied up, she indeed looked more refreshing and capable, and it also added a touch of playfulness.

"Now it's perfect."

Tenya nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Airi, "Airi, are you ready too?"

Airi nodded, somewhat shyly tugging at her swimsuit, and said, "I think this swimsuit is a bit too revealing, but you said it suits me, so I'll try it."

"Airi, you don't need to worry."

Tenya looked at her gently, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes."You inherently possess unique charm, the swimsuit is just a tool to highlight you. Moreover, I will be by your side to protect you and won't let anyone disrespect you."

Upon hearing this, Airi's face broke into a relieved smile.

"With Tenya-kun here, I feel at ease."

Just then, the sales assistant walked over, a professional smile on her face.

"Three customers, you all seem very satisfied. This swimsuit looks great on you. Would you like to consider buying it? Our store currently has a promotion: buy two, get one free."

"Okay, we'll buy them. However, I have a small request." Tenya held up one finger.

"Please tell me."

The sales assistant's eyes held a hint of anticipation.

"I'd like to ask you to help us take a few photos."

Tenya pointed to Airi and Haruka and said, "I want to capture this beautiful moment."

The sales assistant nodded. "Okay, I'd be happy to help."

So, with the sales assistant's help, Tenya and the two girls took a few group photos. In the photos, Airi and Haruka both looked exceptionally beautiful, while Tenya stood between them, a gentle smile on his face, his eyes filled with a hint of doting.

"These photos are so beautiful." Airi looked at the photos, a happy smile on her face.

"Hmph. I have to admit, handsome guys are photogenic." Haruka also nodded. Although she said it grudgingly, her eyes held a complex emotion.

"Alright, we should go."

Tenya put away the photos, then turned to the sales assistant, "Thank you, we'll take all these swimsuits."

The sales assistant nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll go package them for you now."

Just as the sales assistant left, Tenya's phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, is this Tenya?" Suzune's clear, cold voice sounded from the phone.

"Yo. It's rare for Suzune to call me on her own." Tenya leaned against the wall, his tone still relaxed and at ease.

"You really did show up at this school. I won't ask for the specific reasons. Where are you now?" Suzune sighed.

Tenya was surprised by this. Ever since he entered Advanced Nurturing High School, every time he met a girl, they would ask him how he got in. Only Suzune didn't care about these details at all.

"I'm at the swimsuit shop in the school's commercial district, with Airi and Haruka from your class." Tenya answered truthfully, glancing at the two girls still tidying their swimsuits inside the changing room.

"Swimsuit shop?"

Suzune's voice showed a hint of surprise, then her tone became cold again, "Hmph! That's really your style."

"Thank you for the compliment." Tenya said with a smile.

"I didn't compliment you. Forget it. If you have time now, come over to my dorm." Suzune said in a low voice.

"Eh? Didn't you hear clearly? Suzune, I'm with Airi and Haruka." Tenya's words carried a hint of teasing.

The subtext was, how could one 'thunder' like you compare to two 'thunders' from them, and they're both bigger than you.
