Act 2 - Summer Break

13-1 If this is what you call youth

Why am I at this place right now?

Hearing Doumoto's voice, I look up to see two familiar faces coming out of the changing room.

Next to me, I can feel Kakihara fawning over them.

"S-sorry to keep you waiting." (Azusa)

"Sorry! It took me so long to put on sunscreen!" (Honoka)

Nikaido is wearing a light blue and white frilly bikini. While Nogi is wearing a yellow off-the-shoulder bikini.

Both of them look very good, partly because of the swimsuits.

Kakihara must have been especially impressed by them.

"Y-you look good, Azusa." (Yuusuke)

"I see.......? Thank you, I feel a little relieved." (Azusa)

Beside Nikaido, who is patting her chest in relief, Nogi raises her voice.

"Eeh? Only Azurin!? What about me, me!?" (Honoka)

"O-of course! Honoka looks good too." (Yuusuke)

"Kehkehkeh, right?" (Honoka)

Despite her urging, Nogi also seems to be in a good mood after being praised by Kakihara.

In fact, Kakihara's feelings are probably not false at all.

However, his gaze has been drawn towards Nikaido for some time now. How easy to understand――――.

"Shi...... Shidou-kun!" (Azusa)

"Hmm?" (Rintaro)

I have a bad feeling about this, and I turn my gaze toward Nikaido who called me.

With a rather embarrassed expression on her face, she was nervously fidgeting her hands.

I have been thinking about that since a while ago.

Spread out in front of me are happy people with their bare skin exposed and a vast, crystal-clear swimming pool.

Basking in the painful summer sun, I'm already beginning to regret my decision to come here.

"Whaddya think? Yuusuke! Rintaro! My well-trained body beauty!" (Ryuuji)

"Yes, yes. It's embarrassing, so please calm down, Ryuuji." (Yuusuke)

Idioooooootttt! Why are you leaving, Kakihara?

Don't you want to be alone with Nikaido!? Don't you want to appeal to her!?

I won't say what, but maybe those are what you're after, Kakihara.

"......He's gone." (Azusa)

"Ah...... He is. Nikaido-san, why don't you go join them?" (Rintaro)

"I can't swim very fast,so I'll pass. If I can ride the waterslide or something later, that's fine. What about you, Shidou-kun?" (Azusa)

"I am, let's see." (Rintaro)

I look at Nikaido.

If I want to keep my distance from her, I should join their competition here. However, I can't bear to leave her alone, as she doesn't seem to be very strong-minded.

I have a strange concern because I have recently seen someone being picked on in front of me.

"I don't want to leave Nikaido-san alone, So I'll stay with you here. I don't particularly like competition either." (Rintaro)

"Eh!? Yu...... You're so kind, Shidou-kun." (Azusa)

"Is it? I think it's just normal." (Rintaro)

I don't like it being praised to this degree.

When I saw Rei getting tangled up with a couple of guys, I learned that under no circumstances should a woman be left alone, if at all possible. Of course, this only applies when there are many other people around.

Standing by the pool with me are Doumoto Ryuuji and Kakihara Yuusuke, classmates of mine.

Today is the day they invited me to the pool.

I got to come to this huge facility with numerous swimming pools after I finished showing off my swimsuit to Rei.

"Doumoto-ku――――no, Ryuuji-kun is in the judo club, right? I guess they train in different ways." (Rintaro)

"For a homecoming club member, Rintaro is pretty solid too. Why don't you join the judo club?" (Ryuuji)

"Well, I'm not very good at competitive sports." (Rintaro)

I softly decline an invitation from Doumoto, who has been posing there frequently since a while ago.

It's not that I don't want to join because it's judo or anything like that.

I have a part-time job under Yuzuki-sensei, and now I have to take care of Rei in addition to that. There are a lot of reasons why I can't participate in club activities.

"Even so, Azusa and Honoka are late......." (Yuusuke)

"Well, I guess it can't be helped. I have heard that it takes women a long time to get ready." (Rintaro)

"Indeed......" (Yuusuke)

We have already changed into our swimsuits and are waiting for the girls to come out of the changing room at the poolside.

Of course, those girls are Nikaido Azusa and Nogi Honoka.

"Oh, here they come!" (Ryuuji)

Hearing Doumoto's voice, I look up to see two familiar faces coming out of the changing room.

Next to me, I can feel Kakihara fawning over them.

"S-sorry to keep you waiting." (Azusa)

"Doumoto-ku――――no, Ryuuji-kun is in the judo club, right? I guess they train in different ways." (Rintaro)

"For a homecoming club member, Rintaro is pretty solid too. Why don't you join the judo club?" (Ryuuji)

"Well, I'm not very good at competitive sports." (Rintaro)

I softly decline an invitation from Domoto, who has been posing there frequently since a while ago.

It's not that I don't want to join because it's judo or anything like that.

I have a part-time job under Yuzuki-sensei, and now I have to take care of Rei in addition to that. There are a lot of reasons why I can't participate in club activities.

"Even so, Azusa and Honoka are late......." (Yuusuke)

Of course, those girls are Nikaido Azusa and Nogi Honoka.

"Oh, here they come!" (Ryuuji)

Hearing Doumoto's voice, I look up to see two familiar faces coming out of the changing room.

Next to me, I can feel Kakihara fawning over them.

I have a bad feeling about this, and I turn my gaze toward Nikaido who called me.

With a rather embarrassed expression on her face, she was nervously fidgeting her hands.

"Does this, suit me......?" (Azusa)

"A-aah! Yes, it suits you very well. The fluttering frills are so cute." (Rintaro)

"!! I'm so glad...... I had no idea what Shidou-kun liked, so I was really worried." (Azusa)

Stop it, you idiot. Don't say that here. Kakihara's looking at me with a terrible look on his face.

"Hey you guys! Let's have a race in that pool over there!" (Doumoto)

Doumoto, you seriously are not paying attention to the surrounding, huh.

"Okay! The one who loses buys yakisoba from the food stall!" (Honoka)

"Oh! Sounds nice! Let's do!" (Doumoto)

Why, I don't want to do it.

The two guys who are motivated don't care about the rest of us and head for the 25-meter pool.

The three of us were awkwardly left behind, but if this is going to happen, I should go join Doumoto and Kakihara, even if I don't want to.  I'm sure Nikaido, who is not very good at sports, will stay here, so I can leave her alone with Kakihara.

"Then I'll also――――." (Rintaro)

"Whenever I hear the word "competition,"...... I kind of feel like joining in." (Yuusuke)

"What......!? Hey!" (Rintaro)

"Ryuuji! Honoka! Wait!" (Yuusuke)

Idioooooootttt! Why are you leaving, Kakihara?

Don't you want to be alone with Nikaido!? Don't you want to appeal to her!?

I won't say what, but maybe those are what you're after, Kakihara.

"......He's gone." (Azusa)

"Ah...... He is. Nikaido-san, why don't you go join them?" (Rintaro)

"This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there."

"I can't swim very fast,so I'll pass. If I can ride the waterslide or something later, that's fine. What about you, Shidou-kun?" (Azusa)

"I am, let's see." (Rintaro)

So that's it.

Hearing this, it seems that Kakihara has been blessed with an excellent environment. In the end, he may just be unable to take advantage of the opportunities that come his way.

"So Yuusuke-kun is a prince to Nikaido-san." (Rintaro)

"I think that's different." (Azusa)

――――I see.

"A-anyway! The three of them seem to be betting on the yakisoba, so why don't we at least prepare drinks for them? I don't know what they like, so can I ask Nikaido-san to choose?" (Rintaro)

"Ah, certainly. Shidou-kun is very thoughtful after all." (Azusa)

"Hahaha, it's a normal thing. Normal." (Rintaro)

Smiling deceptively, I head toward the stalls with Nikaido.

We bought Cokes for Doumoto and Nogi, and a Ramune for Kakihara.

Incidentally, Nikaido did not know Kakihara's liking. As for this fact, I'm going to take it to my grave.

"Damn! I lost!" (Ryuuji)

"Ya~y! You're ten years too fast to try to beat this Honoka-sama!" (Honoka)

As we're heading back to the 25-meter pool with the drinks in our hands, we hear a voice saying that the game has just ended.

It seems that Nogi has won. As expected of Nogi, who is second only to Rei in bringing excitement out of the students in the physical education class every time.

"Eh, Azusa and Rintaro...... where have you been?" (Yuusuke)

Kakihara, noticing our presence, asks us anxiously.

Well, maybe this guy is more of clumsy than I thought.

I look at Nikaido.

If I want to keep my distance from her, I should join their competition here. However, I can't bear to leave her alone, as she doesn't seem to be very strong-minded.

I have a strange concern because I have recently seen someone being picked on in front of me.

"Eh!? Yu...... You're so kind, Shidou-kun." (Azusa)

When I saw Rei getting tangled up with a couple of guys, I learned that under no circumstances should a woman be left alone, if at all possible. Of course, this only applies when there are many other people around.

"Nikaido-san, you don't seem to be able to say no very strongly when someone tries to pick you up." (Rintaro)

"Ahaha...... I guess you're right. I'm a bit weak when it comes to pushy people, and I often got approached on my way home from cram school. At times like that, Kakihara-kun, who was in the same cram school as me, protected me." (Azusa)

"Heeh, so you two went to the same cram school." (Rintaro)

"Yes. The reason we have been close since the first grade is that we went to the same cram school together." (Azusa)

So that's it.

Hearing this, it seems that Kakihara has been blessed with an excellent environment. In the end, he may just be unable to take advantage of the opportunities that come his way.

"So Yuusuke-kun is a prince to Nikaido-san." (Rintaro)

"I think that's different." (Azusa)

――――I see.

Standing by the pool with me are Doumoto Ryuuji and Kakihara Yuusuke, classmates of mine.

"Eh, Azusa and Rintaro...... where have you been?" (Yuusuke)

Kakihara, noticing our presence, asks us anxiously.

Well, maybe this guy is more of clumsy than I thought.

"I bought you guys some drinks. You see, it's said it's easy to get dehydrated in the pool, right? I want you guys to take proper breaks." (Rintaro)

"Eh? You two are so thoughtful! Thanks!" (Yuusuke)

I hand over drinks to each of them as they come up to the poolside.

After swimming as hard as they could, they drank down the drinks we have bought for them with what appeared to be delightful relish.

"Phew! This brings me back to life!" (Ryuuji)

"Soda after exercise is the best!" (Honoka)

Doumoto and Nogi exclaimed.

To be honest, drinking a carbonated beverage after a strenuous workout is not something to be praised, but I didn't go out of my way to push my body to the limit, so I'm not going to be a jerk about it.

"Anyway, what's going to happen in the end? Me and Yuusuke are buying yakisoba for Honoka?" (Ryuuji)

"Isn't that a little naive? How about we buy yakisoba for Azurin and Shidou since they bought us the drinks?" (Honoka)

"Ugh, but surely that's fair enough...... no choice then! Because the loser has no right to have a say!" (Yuusuke)

In the blink of an eye, our lunch money is going to fly away.

So the yakisoba is more expensive than the juice cost, and I get the gain on this one. I'll go along with this as it is. Don't call me a cheapskate, okay.

"I'm fine with you buying me a drink. We'll think about yakisoba again at lunchtime." (Yuu

"Hmmm, maybe a flowing swimming pool? There is one over there." (Honoka)

Kakihara and Nogi are just about to wrap up the conversation when I say, "Ah," as if I have just remembered.

"Speaking of which, Nikaido-san said she wanted to go on the water slide. If there's no particular request from everyone else, how about we go for it first?" (Rintaro)

"Eh, really?" (Yuusuke)

Basking in the painful summer sun, I'm already beginning to regret my decision to come here.

"Whaddya think? Yuusuke! Rintaro! My well-trained body beauty!" (Ryuuji)

"Yes, yes. It's embarrassing, so please calm down, Ryuuji." (Yuusuke)

Standing by the pool with me are Doumoto Ryuuji and Kakihara Yuusuke, classmates of mine.

Today is the day they invited me to the pool.

I got to come to this huge facility with numerous swimming pools after I finished showing off my swimsuit to Rei.

"Oh, here they come!" (Ryuuji)

Hearing Doumoto's voice, I look up to see two familiar faces coming out of the changing room.

Next to me, I can feel Kakihara fawning over them.

Kakihara looks at Nikaido.

She looks at me a little surprised, but then she scratches her cheek in embarrassment when she realizes that she's being watched.

"I'm not much of a swimmer, so I thought it would be nice to have something like that to play with." (Azusa)

"Alright! Then we'll go to the waterslide first! Le's get going there now!" (Yuusuke)

"Are you sure?" (Azusa)

"Of course! Ryuuji and Honoka are okay with it too, right?" (Yuusuke)

He asks, and they both respond with nods enthusiastically.

Alright, the situation itself is almost ready now.
