Episode 74 – cool senior

◇Magiri side◇

The individual swimming competition in which senpai participated was over, including the awarding ceremony where trophies were given to the winner, senpai, and other prize winners.

Therefore, as I had promised senpai in advance, I was waiting for a while in front of her locker room, where she was probably being interviewed, ────

“! Iroto kun!”

senpai appeared from the side of the pool, still wearing her swimming suit, and ran up to me and hugged me.

Then, without saying a word, she let me into the locker room and said with a smile and a happy voice while shedding tears that she must have been holding back during the interview.

“Iroto kun, I won! Thanks to you, I won!”

“Congratulations on your victory senpai,……, but you didn’t win because of me, but because of your hard work.”

When I said that, she hugged me tightly and said in a strong voice.

“No, it’s thanks to you that I was able to do my best, and it’s thanks to you that I was able to win today! Thank you so much, Iroto kun!”

senpai is thanking me like that, but it is definitely not thanks to me. …… Everything is the fruit of senpai’s efforts that she has accumulated over the years, at least that is what I think.

Then, I tell senpai exactly what I felt when I saw her swimming in the competition.

“senpai, senpai swimming in the competition was very cool,…… and once again, I’m glad that this person is my senpai.”

“……!”

When I said that, senpai tightened her grip on me even more and said,

“Hey, Iroto-kun… if you said that to me… I-I want to smile after winning, but when you say that to me… ugh…”

After that, senpai did not sound happy, probably because of the combination of various things in senpai, she began to leak tears in the form of emotion,…… I say to such a senpai.

“I’m the only one here, so cry all you want,……for today, I won’t avoid you no matter how many hugs you give me.”

“Ugh, thank you… ugh …….”

After that, senpai continued to let out a tearful voice for a little while, but in the middle of the tearful voice

“I’m sorry, Iroto kun, you’re in plain clothes, so if I hug you now, you’ll get wet…… hey, I’m going to change, can I ask you to leave the locker room, ……?”

With that said, senpai’s arms that hugged me tried to pull away from me,──── I hugged back and said

“I don’t care about that,……, just for now, hug me as you like,────, if I could just tell you one thing,────,senpai is a cool senpai for me, not only when you are swimming, but also at this moment,────.”

“, ……, Iroto-kun ……, Iroto-kun ……!”

When I said that, senpai hugged me back tightly and touched my back with her palm full of her hand.

Maybe Mizushiro-senpai was worried about my clothes getting wet, so she stopped hugging me and went to change her clothes. That’s probably what Mizushiro-senpai really thinks, but there’s a deeper feeling in Mizuki-senpai’s true feelings

────She doesn’t want me to see her crying and crying even though she won the championship.

That’s what she really wants,……, and that’s why she was going to shed all her tears after she said she was going to change and was left alone.

However, to shed tears after winning a tournament…I don’t think such a thing would be pathetic, in fact, to me, it’s honestly cool that there’s something she can get so passionate about…so I just have to say…

　
After that, I and the tearful senpai hugged each other for a while,──── there were no words there, but I could definitely feel something warm and beyond words.
