[R-18 Illustration] Playing in the Mud
"Neighborhood Female Friends Series"
What's the best way to play around on a hot day?
It's that season when it rains, and soon after becomes incredibly hot and humid.
What kind of games do these neighborhood friends come up with on a too-hot day?
Story:
Long-Haired Girl: "It's so hot! What kind of game can we play to cool off?"
"Your family is too stingy with the air conditioner, so it's gotten so hot I'm going to end up melting."
Boy: "Want to come with me to the pool?"
Bob-Cut Girl: "I wanna go to the pool!"
Long-Haired Girl: "I didn't bring my swimsuit, so we can't."
Bob-Cut Girl: "I didn't bring mine either."
Long-Haired Girl: "Ah! I got it! Why don't we play in the mud in your back yard?"
"It did nothing but rain yesterday, right? So it's all mud puddles now, right?"
Bob-Cut Girl: "Playing in the mud sounds like fun!"
Boy: "If we do that, we'll ruin our clothes and get in trouble, won't we?"
Long-Haired Girl: "It's fine! If we strip off our clothes, they won't get muddy!"
Boy: "Y-you want to play naked!?"
Long-Hared Girl: "Your yard is enclosed and surrounded by buildings, so nobody can see us from outside it, right? It'll be fine!"
Boy: "No, even if no-one else outside can see, I still can, right?"
"You weren't planning on excluding me, were you?"
Long-Haired Girl: "What are you talking about? We wouldn't cast you out! We're good friends after all, aren't we!?"
Long-Haired & Bob-Cut Girls: "Right!?"
Boy: "Well then. I guess I'll also play naked I guess?"
Long-Haired Girl "You have to!"
"Well then, we'll head out first then. Wait a while before joining us, ok?"
Boy: "H-hey!"
"You two are definitely up to something, aren't you... Oh well..."
...... ......
"Hey! Is it ok to come out yet?"
Bob-Cut Girl: "It's OK!"
Boy: (Is it really ok? It's been a long time... since I've been with those two naked)
Long-Haired Girl: "Yep, too bad for you, but we covered our bodies with mud, so we aren't naked, you know!?"
"Even worse, since you dangle, even if you cover up with mud, we'll still see you!"
Bob-Cut Girl: "I got to see an elephant!"
Boy: "I see... if that's how it's going to be...!"
"Do you two have any last words?"
Long-Hared Girl: "Huh!?"
Boy: "I'm going to clean up those filthy 'clothes' of yours for you!"
