Osiris: a magical submarine Part I

Special episode 1 Mage's vacation: the first part

"What is your impression?"

Rear-admiral Tanaka will give an honest impression to the question of Yuki which is full of confidence.

"Now that's a surprise."

This is a laboratory in the Great Haven.

In the center of a vast outdoor experimental site, Shiori stands as if nothing had happened.

Rear-admiral Tanaka is amazed at an event that happened right in front of him.

"Shiori beat off all magical attack, that's great."

"This is an application of the magic armor, isn't this?"

"Yes, it is."

"Because it is the same as a principle of the Magic armor, I was predicting that it was possible enough if there was a talent of Shiori."

"The result is as you see."

Rear-admiral Tanaka asks "After all, almost all magical attack can be broken, right?"

"That's right."

"Admiral, Could you allow Shiori to go out freely?"

Rear-admiral Tanaka, who received Captain Mikami's request, answers after thinking silently for a while.

"No, I can't."

"Because attacks on Shiori are not always magic."

"Especially a place where there are many people is dangerous."

"She may get a physical attack at a short distance."

"I see, So If it is a place where there are no people, you will allow. Is that right?"

"Captain Mikami, What are you thinking about?"

==========================================

"Yahoo!"

Reina in a colorful bikini rushes from a beach to a sea.

She runs at full speed even though she is holding a giant dolphin float on her head.

North Pacific, near the equator.

This is an isolated island.

There is no land around the island.

It is formally the island owned by a private individual, but it is actually the island owned by the Navy.

The whole island is made of coral reefs.

The island is divided into crescent-shaped land and inland sea.

The inland sea surrounded by the crescent-shaped land is calm and warm, and the depth is shallow.

So it is an ideal environment for swimming.

The inland sea warmed by intense sunlight just below the equator is as comfortable as a heated swimming pool.

"Phew! I'm feeling good."

Reina who was swimming in the inland sea until just a while ago comes back to take a break.

Yuki mutters to himself.

"I didn't intend to invite all the crew, Why does this kind of thing happen?"

Reina didn't miss his murmur.

"Why not? even though Osiris does not work without Shiori!"

"It is absolutely fun to go out with everyone, isn't it?"

"That's right."

"The health of body and mind is essential for long-term mission accomplishment."

When Yuki turns towards the direction of the voice, Miki in a bikini stands with her arms folded.

"Ensign Yoroi, You don't have to come here if you don't want to."

Miki immediately protests him.

"Captain Mikami, Why do you say such a thing?"

"Sea-bathing is the best event for a submarine crew who needs sunlight."

"Of course, I participate as a soldier."

"Goodbye, sir."

Miki salutes and runs to the inland sea.

Unlike slender Reina, Miki has beautiful proportions.

A black swimsuit she is wearing gives an effect to emphasize the beautiful proportions of Miki.

"I'm going to swim again."

Reina who drank a glass of cold water under the beach umbrella runs to the inland sea.

"Hey, Miki!"

Miki glanced at the figure of Reina who came close, provokes her.

"What a nice body! I think your swimsuit looks good on you."

"Don't insult me, Miki."

"You just have big tits."

"It is hard to have big breast, you'll never understand, Reina."

"I envy you, hah."

"Shut up! Miki."

Yuki while looks at their usual quarrel say to Shiori who is wearing a one‐piece swimsuit.

"By the way, can you swim?"

"Yes, I can."

"There was a pool for me in the Central Magic Institute."

"Do you like swimming?"

"No, I don't. and..."

Low laughter from behind interrupts their conversation.

"The sea is the greatest, hee hee hee."

Kanae is watching Shiori with shining eyes.

Shiori who felt a sign of Kanae behind becomes silent.

And she turns pale.

"Shiori, are you OK?"

But she is not there already.

When Yuki noticed, Kanae holding up Shiori was running towards the inland sea.

"Let's swimming, Shiori!"

When Kanae enters the sea she throws Shiori roughly.

Kanae wearing a swimsuit for competitive swimming puts her hand on her waist.

She is ready for swimming.

There are several cottages on the other side of the inland sea.

They are about 3 km away.

Kanae pointing to one of them says to Shiori who raised face from the sea surface.

"Shiori, that is a goal."

"Let's compete."

When she said so, she swims with full power towards the cottage located on the other side.

She will not allow Shiori's objections.

"I knew it was coming."

When Shiori said so, she also swims slowly towards the cottage located on the other side.

"Shiori, this is a competition, hurry, hurry!"

Kanae has encouraged her.

==========================================

Three hours after.

"Shiori, can you get up?"

Despite just finished swimming for 6 km or more, Kanae is fine.

She will be able to swim again.

"...no, I can't."

Shiori who was forced to go with Kanae is very tired.

She lies on the beach and does not move.

"Here it is."

For recovering physical strength, Shiori drinks iced tea that was received from Kanae.

"Shiori, are you all right?"

Reina calls out to Shiori who lies on the beach.

"I'm fine."

"You're not lying to me are you?"

Kanae next to Shiori explains the situation.

"She lies down because I forced her to swim."

"I don't lie down."

Reina says "Shiori, You just lie down, what are you saying?"

"Now, let's play beach volleyball, Kanae."

"I'm in trouble because I can't find a player."

"Sorry, I'm worried about Shiori."

"I'm all right."

"But..."

"Don't worry, I will get up after a while."

"I see... all right, I'll go there."

Reina says "Shiori, see you then."

"Bye-bye."

While staring at the two people leaving, Shiori has a strange feeling that she has never felt before.

"I'm happy if they happy."

"Why do I feel so?"
