I opened the door to the shower room and went inside, where there were many showers and associated doors.
I slowly lowered Mizushiro-senpai at the entrance to the shower room, and at the same time, she also let go of the hand holding me and held her own swimming costume with her right hand so that it would not fall off.
“When I swam holding senpai, or when I walked holding you, did you feel any pain?”
When I asked that just to be sure, Mizushiro senpai said.
“No, I’m fine! I could tell from your words, your gaze and your movements that you cared about me in detail. …… you are so kind, aren’t you?”
“That’s ────.”
“You’re so kind! Up until now, you’ve just brushed it off, but now that I’ve convinced, it doesn’t matter how much you deny it!”
“…… I see.”
I don’t think in the slightest that I’m kind, but how people think about others is up to them, so I can’t interfere in that.
“I mean, are your arms alright? Don’t you get tired from swimming while carrying one person and walking while carrying another person?”
“No, it wasn’t like that, it was light.”
“..! I, see……, what is it~? Onee san is a bit happy, I think~?”
Mizushiro-senpai said that, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Mizushiro-senpai then removed her own goggles with her left hand, which was the opposite of the right hand holding down her swimsuit, and said to me.
“Hey, Iroto-kun, …… can you take off your goggles?”
“I don’t mind, but why do you have to be so formal about it?”
“…… I wanted to see your eyes.”
I want to see my eyes…I’ve never had the feeling of wanting to look into someone else’s eyes, so it’s difficult for me to empathize with them, but there’s no harm in showing my eyes, so I do as I’m told and goggle. I removed it.
Then, Mizushiro-senpai came closer to me and said,
“Beautiful eyes,…… or rather, you are a really cool boy.”
“I don’t know, I don’t think anything special about myself.”
“I bet you do~ otherwise you wouldn’t normally grow your hair so long that you hide your eyes with bangs ……, wouldn’t that be a waste?
If you cut your bangs or lift them, you’ll be popular with all the girls at school.”
“Unfortunately, I’m not interested in that sort of thing.”
When I answered that, Mizushiro-senpai’s cheeks turned red, the corner of her mouth slightly turned up, she placed her face on my right cheek with her left hand, and said with a kind expression
“You’re calm, you can swim, you’re not interested in girls,…… but you seem to be in some pain, and I can’t leave you alone,…… and really, I’m in trouble.”
“You don’t look like someone who’s in trouble.”
“Ahaha, Mouu~! you shouldn’t say things like that right now~?”
After saying that happily, senpai removed her left hand from my cheek and opened the door leading to the shower.
“Well, I’m going to take a shower while I tie my swimming suit, but if you want to take a peek, feel free to tell me instead of peeking~! I’ll do anything you want in return for all the help you’ve given me!”
“Don’t joke about it, just close the door and tie it, I’ll be waiting in front of the shower room.”
“….Yeah!”
When I told her that, Mizushiro-senpai replied with a smile and went inside the door, so I decided to open the shower room door and wait for senpai in front of it… I want to swim with Mizushiro-senpai quickly.
◇Mizushiro side◇
After closing the door and tying the laces of her swimsuit, Mizushiro stood in front of the shower, recalling her memories from just a moment ago.
“When I hid behind Iroto-kun’s back, he should has been able to complain at least from his normal behavior, but instead of complaining, he just listened to the meaning of his actions…”
Mizushiro thought that it could be considered inconvenient for Magiri, but Magiri had not mentioned such a thing and probably did not even think about it.
“When he swam with me in his arms, even though it was a burden for him, he still swam in such a way that as little water pressure was coming towards me as possible. ……”
If this had been a swimmer, or someone who did not know swimming as well as Mizuki did, he might not have understood that much, but Mizuki, who knew swimming well, could see the kindness in him.
“When he carried me to the shower room, he carried me in a princess carry to make me as stable as possible, and when I asked if I could hug him, he said it was okay to hug me. ……”
Other things, such as being with her for this swimming practice in the first place, and at the swimming competition,…… are too numerous to count, and Mizushiro has been helped by Magiri.
“I’m just kidding…until now, I was only half joking, and thought it would be fine if Iroto-kun felt like it…”
──── now it’s different.
“I…I really, really fell in love with you…I thought my first love would definitely be older than me…but the truth is, I don’t know what life holds for me~”
Mizushiro then showered for a little while, firmly feeling her own first feelings.
