Chapter 291: Bashful Yoshinon and Yoshino
"When did little Lin get so timid? You were plenty bold when you were kissing us."
At Yoshinon's teasing expression, Franklin gave a light cough and turned his head away.
"Lin… didn't we come to the beach to raise our affection levels…
If Lin… doesn't do it yourself, the perfect chance to easily boost affection… will slip away…"
Seeing Yoshino's flushed face as she looked over, Franklin felt his heart skip instantly.
"Though our affection has been maxed out the whole time…"
After hearing Yoshino's quiet last line, Franklin turned seriously to Nagisa.
"Miss Nagisa, sorry about this—even if you think I'm a pervert, I'm definitely applying sunscreen for Yoshinon and Yoshino today."
Seeing Franklin suddenly fired up, Nagisa felt helpless. The words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back, and in the end she gave a small nod of agreement.
Then she sat in the nearest lounge chair and watched his every move.
With permission granted, Franklin grew bold. He smiled at the two little ones whose swimsuits barely covered the important parts.
"Miss Nagisa already said yes. You can lie down now—I promise I won't get handsy."
Yoshinon grinned and gave him a thumbs-up before flopping face-down on the yoga mat.
Yoshino's cheeks instantly burned bright red, but she still copied Yoshinon, carefully lying down on the mat.
In an instant, their soft skin pressed outward on both sides—only a little, but it was enough to get Franklin's blood racing again.
He cleared his throat to suppress the restlessness, picked up the spray-nozzle sunscreen, and squeezed some onto Yoshinon's smooth, pale back.
The cool sensation made Yoshinon's small body shiver slightly, and her cheeks flushed uncontrollably.
"Lin… go slower, please…"
That shy demeanor made even Franklin tremble a little. Fighting the urge to kiss, hug, and lift her high, he squeezed some onto his own hands too.
His palms pressed against Yoshinon's back.
"Mmm~"
Hearing her soft moan, Franklin didn't stop. He slowly swept over her flawless back, spreading the sunscreen evenly without missing a single spot.
As he finished coating it all, Yoshinon smiled, turned slightly, and extended her smooth arm.
"Since you're already doing it, don't leave anything out. These soft, smooth arms of mine—and my edible, playful legs—need your attention too."
Seeing the "you're getting a great deal" look on her face, Franklin nodded with a smile.
His palms glided over her smooth arms; the soft flesh shifted into different shapes in his hands until he finally held her small hand.
Watching her shyly turn her head away, Franklin smiled and shifted his gaze to her jade-like, food-grade beautiful legs.
Both hands gently pressed down, slowly moving along the shape of her legs until he held her little feet.
Yoshinon instantly jolted. "Ah… don't touch the soles—they're really ticklish!"
Seeing her bright-red face as she looked back, Franklin felt especially satisfied.
Once everything was done, he helped Yoshinon retie her swimsuit. But she still wasn't satisfied.
She grinned, rolled over, and lay on her back on the mat.
"The front needs you too, Franklin. We've already gone this far—I won't do it myself."
With such a perfect opportunity right in front of him, Franklin had no reason to refuse.
His palms gently pressed onto her soft little belly; the completely different sensation made Yoshinon instinctively shrink back.
Franklin didn't stop. He lightly rubbed over her small tummy, then placed both hands on her waist and slowly moved upward.
At this point, Yoshinon had lost all her earlier bravado—her cheeks were completely crimson.
When Franklin finally hugged her to her feet, she still hadn't fully recovered.
Seeing this, Franklin didn't wait—he squeezed white sunscreen directly onto her cheeks.
The moment she snapped back to reality, he smiled and finished coating her cheeks… neck… and that tempting collarbone.
He gave her back a light pat to signal he was done.
Franklin turned his gaze to Yoshino, who had watched the entire thing.
Seeing her utterly flushed face, he smiled.
"Ready? Here we go."
Yoshino buried her face in the crook of her arm in embarrassment and gave a tiny nod.
At the sight, Franklin skillfully began the same process.
Watching her soft body take on different shapes under the pressure of his palms, Franklin felt immensely satisfied inside.
Following the exact same steps as with Yoshinon, he thoroughly applied sunscreen to Yoshino.
Seeing her now—cheeks so red it looked like blood might drip—Franklin smiled, cleaned his hands, and gently ruffled her hair.
"Thank you, Lin. I feel like my affection for you has broken through the ultimate limit…"
Watching Yoshino muster her courage to say that long sentence, Franklin smiled and hugged her.
"Mm, my affection for you and Yoshinon broke the limit long ago. Go play with Yoshinon.
If you need anything, just tell me."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers—several inflatable whale and dolphin toys plus a few swim rings appeared nearby.
"Take one even if you can swim. You can rest on them when you're tired."
"Okay, got it. Good luck smoothly winning over the big sisters too, Lin…"
Watching Yoshino run off with flushed cheeks, Franklin smiled and turned to Yoshinon.
"Go play. It's fine to turn back into spirits if you need to."
Yoshinon nodded lightly and ran toward Yoshino, who was already heading for the water.
Franklin smiled and looked at Nagisa, still sitting in her lounge chair. Her cheeks were now bright red; she hadn't fully snapped out of her daze.
He walked over and snapped his fingers lightly. Only then did Nagisa jolt back to reality.
Seeing the two little ones running far ahead, she instinctively started to follow, but Franklin caught her wrist.
In that instant, Nagisa's whole body trembled. She hurriedly shook off his hand.
"Mr. Franklin, please don't touch me like that."
Franklin gave a helpless shrug and handed the sunscreen back.
"Don't forget your own sunscreen. Even with a one-piece, your arms and legs need it.
Also, we're here on vacation. If you chase after Yoshinon and Yoshino the whole time, you'll only worry about them and have no time to relax yourself.
Everything within ten kilometers is under my control right now. Just enjoy the vacation—they're perfectly safe playing here."
Taking the sunscreen, Nagisa let out a soft sigh and sat back in the chair.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Franklin. I misunderstood you…"
