"Oh my goodness, look how big you girls are now! Especially you, niece!"
Almárisse Aððeta (née Verilnith) joins one of her daughters, and one of her nieces, on an "overseas" holiday; it's not even necessary to leave the major Japanese islands to have a sufficiently impressive vacation for many women leaving their homeland, especially those like Arisa's mother who came from middle-class origins and in a time where no one received such a formalized "expatriate education." Beaches in Honshu and Kyushu are plenty exotic for Lady Almárisse, whose childhood home in the higher latitudes, before she married into the landed Aððeta family, featured beaches enveloped in heavy fogs and brisk winds most of the year, when they didn't freeze over. Summertime beaches near Kagoshima, with their palm trees (seldom seen back home) are more than hot enough to swim and suntan, bordering on too hot.
"Honestly, Séirye Nicoðima, you're almost as big as I am, and you haven't even had whelped yet!"
"Please don't say things like that, Aunt."
[Author's Note: You might notice Arisa's sister Rina is still not in this one, as she wasn't in the proceeding set (pixiv #110273736»); she got her last few sets, and I was in the mood to do a lighter project today (in fact, neither younger sister made it today). You'll just have to wait to see more of her.]
