We managed to make it in time for the dolphin show, although there was also the event of rescuing Natsumi chan, a lost child. The show was about to start, so the audience was crowded.
“I’m glad we managed to make it in time.”
“If we couldn’t see the dolphins this time, the next show would be a long time away.”
If we didn’t make it, we would have had to kill some time, but we had already seen everything in the aquarium. As expected, it would be hard to kill time just by looking at the shops, so they must have thought of other ways.
I sat down in an empty seat and waited for a while, and then the dolphin show started. As soon as the show started, the dolphins jumped out of the water and bounced a ball hanging in the air.
Then they jumped through the hoop that the dolphin attendant held out to them, and deftly spun a hula hoop thrown into the water with their beaks.
“The dolphins at the aquarium are as dexterous as ever.”
“Well, they get along well with the staff, so it’s fun to watch.”
I can understand why children are so excited to see a dolphin show. Well, unlike back then, I don’t spill juices now.
“By the way, it seems that all but one of the tricks the dolphins perform are natural behaviors.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, they have to be trained to do the standing up and backing with their tail fins, which they are doing right now.”
“I see. It is true that such a movement is not necessary in nature.”
I was convinced when I heard this trivia from Kano san. Kano san may look like a modern gal, but she is still as knowledgeable as ever.
She was able to keep her grades at the top of the class at Shinshiroke High School and was accepted into Waseda University. While I was thinking about this as we watched the dolphin show together, 20 minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
They say that the good time goes by in a flash, and that is exactly what happened. The dolphins swam with people on board, jumped and spun in the air, and their performance kept the audience excited until the very end.
“The dolphin show was great.”
“I think it’s amazing how excited people can get no matter how old they are.”
“I’m relieved you didn’t spill any juice this time.”
“That’s why I told you so many times that it’s okay.”
How worried was Kano san? Thinking about this, Kano san begins to grin.
“Actually, aren’t you hoping for a bit of an erotic manga-like turn of events?”
“My HP is long gone, so please quit that stuff.”
“Eh, I don’t know about that.”
No doubt she will continue to tease me with erotic manga stories. How could she have found out, when I was supposed to have kept it tightly hidden under layers of disguise?
Then we came to a store near the exit of the aquarium. There were various kinds of souvenirs on sale, including candy, stuffed animals, and key chains, but most of them had fish motifs, since it was an aquarium.
“Hey, Yuito. Does it suit me?:
As I wander around the store for a while, I suddenly hear someone talking to me from behind. I turned around and there was Kano san wearing a penguin headband on her head.
“……Hmmm.”
“Ah, I’m a little hurt by that reaction.”
“I’m not saying that it’s bad. But it doesn’t really feel right for Kano san……”
“Hmm, that’s the same as saying that it doesn’t suit me in a roundabout way.”
Kano san approaches me with a slightly dissatisfied expression on her face, and I hurriedly begin to make excuses, but it doesn’t seem like she’ll be easily convinced.
Kano san doesn’t have a cute face, but rather a cool and beautiful face, so it felt really weird. When I explained this to her, she seemed to have improved her mood a little, but she wasn’t completely satisfied yet.
“I think I’ll ask Yuito to wear it as punishment for mistreating me.”
“Ah, hey !”
Kano san forcefully put on the penguin headgear. Then, Kano san was silent for a while and then started laughing as hard as she could
“Yeah, it really suits you. I’ll buy it for you, so you can start wearing it for the rest of the day.”
“No, no, no, no, it would never look good on me.”
No matter how you look at it, it must be a harsh picture. It might be cute for a girl, but it would be too painful for a high school boy like me to walk around wearing something like this. I can only think of it as a new type of mental attack type torture.
“Then I’m going to buy it.”
“Are you seriously going to buy it?”
“I’m joking about making the Yuito wear it for the day, but maybe it could be used for something in the future.”
“…..I can’t imagine a situation where I would use it at all.”
Well, it seems like she’s planning to buy it with her money, so I’m not going to complain any further.
“Okay, which one shall I wear next?”
“Eh, are you still going to wear it?”
“Don’t you want to get the full collection if you have to?”
The shelf that Kano san pointed to had various types of headgear, including dolphins and jellyfish. It would take a lot of time if you had to wear all of them. Needless to say, I ended up staying with Kano san until she was satisfied.
