Chapter 65: “Beach Episode Madness & The Secret of the Hidden Waifu Island”
After surviving the ridiculous antics of the Chicken Clan and their battle against Lord Roosterbane, the group decided it was time for a well-earned vacation.
Fergus stretched his arms, sighing in contentment. "Finally! No more weird training arcs. No more evil poultry. Just sun, sand, and…" His eyes sparkled. "...beach babes."
Kazuya groaned, rubbing his temples. "Fergus, please. We're here to relax."
"Relax?" Fergus threw an arm around Kazuya's shoulders. "My man, the beach episode is a sacred tradition in every anime! It's time for fanservice, misunderstandings, and—"
"—embarrassing moments that get censored," Sylvara finished, shooting Fergus a glare.
Arrival at Waifu Island
The group's boat docked at Waifu Island, a beautiful tropical paradise shrouded in mystery and dubious plot convenience.
A banner greeted them at the pier:
"WELCOME TO WAIFU ISLAND: WHERE ALL YOUR ANIME TROPES COME TRUE!"
Kazuya squinted at the sign. "This feels like a trap."
Nerissa smirked. "Relax, Kazuya. What's the worst that could happen?"
Cue a sudden gust of wind that blew Sylvara's hat off her head. She grabbed for it, but the wind kept blowing, sending it flying toward the jungle.
"Seriously?" Sylvara groaned.
"I'll get it!" Fergus dashed after the hat, only to trip on a conveniently placed coconut and land face-first in the sand.
The Obligatory Swimsuit Montage
Back at the beach, the girls unveiled their swimsuits, prompting Kazuya to immediately regret coming on this trip.
Sylvara wore a sleek, dark blue bikini with a magical sigil on the top. Nerissa sported a sarong and halter top, casually showing off her toned legs. Aurelia (who had joined them for the trip) stunned in a white one-piece that hugged her curves.
Fergus elbowed Kazuya. "Dude. You're living the dream."
Kazuya sighed. "Why do I feel like I'm going to suffer through a hundred misunderstandings before this day is over?"
The Legend of the Hidden Waifu
As they lounged by the beach, a mysterious old man approached, wearing a straw hat and a robe covered in fish patterns.
"Beware the legend of the Hidden Waifu," he warned in a dramatic voice. "She guards a sacred treasure… and anyone who dares seek it will face trials of ultimate awkwardness."
Sylvara raised an eyebrow. "Hidden Waifu? Seriously?"
The old man nodded. "They say she grants a wish to those who survive her trials. But beware—her tests will force you to confront your most embarrassing desires!"
Kazuya's face went pale. "Please tell me we're not going to—"
"We're going," Fergus declared, already dragging Kazuya toward the jungle.
The Trials of Awkwardness
The first trial was a typical anime misunderstanding trope.
The group entered a clearing to find a hot spring surrounded by lush foliage. Steam rose from the water, creating a serene atmosphere.
Fergus grinned. "Hot springs episode? Hell yeah!"
Without warning, a sudden breeze blew through the clearing, snatching everyone's towels and sending them flying into the air.
"WHY IS THERE ALWAYS WIND?!" Kazuya yelled, scrambling to cover himself.
Meanwhile, Sylvara slipped into the hot spring, completely unbothered by the chaos.
"Are you really not embarrassed by any of this?" Kazuya asked, blushing furiously.
Sylvara smirked. "I've seen you naked before. This is nothing new."
The Beach Volleyball Showdown
As they continued their journey, the group stumbled upon a beach volleyball court. Standing on the opposite side were two mysterious figures dressed in elaborate swimsuits and masks.
"We challenge you to a match!" the taller figure declared. "If you win, we'll reveal the secret of the Hidden Waifu!"
Fergus leaned over to Kazuya. "Bet you five gold coins they take off the masks, and it's our rivals in disguise."
"Deal."
Cue an epic volleyball montage, complete with:
Ridiculous slow-motion shots of Nerissa spiking the ball. Fergus getting hit in the face repeatedly. Sylvara using magic to cheat, because why not?
In the end, the masks came off to reveal… two chickens.
Kazuya facepalmed. "Why is it always chickens?!"
The Hidden Waifu Appears
At last, they reached the temple of the Hidden Waifu, where a beautiful goddess-like figure awaited them. She wore a flowing kimono adorned with cherry blossoms and gazed at them with mischievous eyes.
"I am the Hidden Waifu," she said, her voice like silk. "You have proven yourselves worthy."
Kazuya blinked. "Wait. You're… real?"
The Hidden Waifu nodded. "Indeed. And as a reward for your trials, I offer you one wish."
Fergus immediately blurted out, "I want a harem of waifus!"
The Hidden Waifu giggled. "Wish granted… but beware the consequences."
Suddenly, dozens of clones of Sylvara, Nerissa, and Aurelia appeared, all vying for Kazuya's attention.
Kazuya groaned. "Why is this my life The Consequences of the Wish
Back at the beach, the clones followed Kazuya everywhere, each one trying to outdo the others.
"Master, I made you lunch!" one clone said.
"Master, I polished your sword!" another chimed in.
"Master, I'm the original Sylvara," the real Sylvara growled, glaring at the clones. "And if you don't fix this, I'm going to hex you."
Kazuya sighed. "I'm starting to think we should've wished for something less… complicated."
Fergus, however, was living his best life. "This is the best vacation EVER!"
