The day after I went to Nanahoshi’s house, I went to school and Nanahoshi invited me to the rooftop as usual,…… and then Nanahoshi started talking.
“As I said before, I brought someone I was interested in up to my house yesterday,…… and I asked him for some advice that was a little hard for Magiri to hear, so I thought I’d just let you know how it went.”
“I understand.”
Now that I know what it all means, it’s a little awkward to remember the content of that conversation, including the fact that Nanahoshi had asked me before if she should be prepared, but I said that while somehow trying not to let it show.
Then Nanahoshi said with a cheerful expression on her face.
“From the results, it didn’t turn out to be something that required preparation,…… but I was very happy to feel that person’s kindness more than ever,…….”
“….. I see.”
“Yeah, and you know what? This person I care about told me that we’re going to go out together a lot in the summer! So, to tell you how I’m feeling right now in a nutshell, I’m ──── super happy! I mean, I can’t wait for summer vacation~!”
As she said this, Nanahoshi expressed her own current feelings to the fullest …… while gesturing on the spot, but after doing so for a bit, she stopped moving and opened her mouth to say,
“…..I used to say that I was someone who cared about him, but I can’t express this feeling anymore with the words …… well, maybe it was that way before, but now I can’t express this feeling with the words [someone who cares about him] anymore……He’s not someone I care about anymore, I like…….”
“……like?”
“I….like ……, No~! I’m too embarrassed to tell you!”
As soon as Nanahoshi muttered something in a voice so small that I couldn’t hear it, she walked out from the rooftop while raising her voice incomparably louder than she had just done before.
“Not the person she cares about, but like….?”
I felt as if I was left with a question that had no answer, but since there is no one in this world who can guess the rest of the word with just one letter, I, as someone who cannot guess the rest of the word with just one letter, gave up on trying to figure out the rest of the word and returned to the classroom.
After school that day.
“…… this is good enough.”
I bought an appropriate swimsuit and goggles for Saturday’s swim practice with Mizushiro Senpai,──── a few days later.
Today is Saturday, and it’s finally the day for swimming practice with her……I was a little surprised when I was told that the meeting time was 7 in the morning, but I had no particular resistance to getting up early in the morning, so I got up before 6 in the morning to meet her
And when I arrived at the meeting place────
“Iroto-kun, good morning~!”
There, I already saw she wearing white pants and a light blue shoulder-length top,……. Compared to Nanahoshi, who is a professional, her outfit was quite simple, but she wore even that simple outfit in a way that made it look very mature and beautiful.
I greeted her back while analyzing her outfit.
“Good morning, Mizushiro senpai”
“Yeah! I’m sorry for coming in so early in the morning~, I could have moved the time, but it has become a habit for me to practice in the morning.”
“No, there is no problem.”
It would be not fine if I were the type of person who doesn’t like getting up in the morning, but that’s not the case, so if that’s the case, I should prioritize not breaking her habits.
“For you who have kept meeting up with me this early in the morning without any complaints, I would like to give ──── special mention! I’ll give you a hug from me in the morning~!”
Saying this, she tried to hug me,──── but I avoided her and said.
“So, where are we going to practice today?”
“You ask that in a matter-of-fact way while avoiding a hug from onee san!?”
She lets out a sigh after I raised my voice like that, but she quickly answers my question.
“Today, we’re going to practice at the big pool in town,…… then I’m sure you’re disappointed that you won’t be practicing alone with onee san, but I’ve got good news for you!”
I never said or thought anything like that, but as I was listening to what she had to say next
“Actually! The pool we’re going to today is rented out for the reason that we, Special High School, won the swimming competition the other day~!”
The swimming pool was chartered out…… and I honestly felt that was a great deal, so I nodded and said, “That’s a great deal,” and she nodded and said
“Yeah! So let’s practice together in a space where it’s just the two of us in our swimsuits! Just so you know, just because it’s just the two of us in a swimsuit space doesn’t mean you should think about pervert things~?”
“…… Haaa?”
Even though we had only talked at the meeting place, I felt like I was getting tired all at once… Though I was worried about the future of today, I headed to a large swimming pool in town with her
