There is only one day left until the day of senpai’s individual competition…… precisely a few more hours to go since it is already nighttime.
Since I had practiced swimming with senpai several times since the first day I practiced swimming with her, I was concerned about the result of tomorrow’s competition as I didn’t think she was a complete stranger to me.
While I was thinking about this, I received a message from senpai, so I opened the message.
[Iroto kun, I’m sorry to call you out of the blue, but is it okay if I call you?]
[Yes.]
I answered immediately, and then the call came in from senpai, so I picked up the phone to answer her call.
“Hello, can you hear me?”
“Yes, I can hear you.”
“Good~”
When I answered her, senpai said so with a sense of relief.
Then she continued.
“I thought you might not like it if I suddenly said I wanted to call you, but you answered with a single word, and I was glad.”
“I didn’t have anything special in mind.”
“If it’s not you, girls like it when you call them without hesitation, even if it’s a boy. If there was a girl who liked you, I think she would be so happy right now that she would want to run at least a kilometer in the pool.”
“That’s a very senpai-like analogy.”
After a short pause, I ask senpai,
“Are you injured this time?”
“Yeah! I’m an onee san who can take care of herself now!”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
I said so, and after a pause, senpai said
“Hey, do you know why I called you today ……?”
“I don’t know.”
When I answered honestly, senpai said in a cheerful voice.
“In that case, I’ll give you a quiz! It’s a test to see how well you understand onee san! If you answer correctly, I’ll send you a selfie of me in my swimsuit in the pose you want!”
“That’s no need, but since you’re here, I’d like to guess why.”
I said without pause, since the reason for the phone call was obvious at this point in time.
“I think you wanted to talk about swimming with me the day before the individual meet, or maybe you wanted to review your practice.”
I predicted this and answered, but then ──── senpai said
“The day before the individual meet and the part about you are correct, but the rest is not …… accurate”
“Not accurate……?”
When I asked her back, senpai gave me an answer.
“─── I called you because I wanted to hear your voice.”
“My …… voice?”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter what the conversation was about, I just wanted to hear your voice.”
“I see.”
“You’re not angry..?”
“Angry ……? Why would I be angry?”
“When people suddenly asked if they could call you, and they said they didn’t have any requirements when you thought they had something to do, I usually think you’d be a little angry, right?”
“I’m also concerned about senpai’s individual tournament tomorrow since I’ve been accompanying her to practice a few times,……, so I’m rather glad that we could talk.”
” ……! What is that, such a thing, more ……about you”
Senpai was mumbling something in a small voice over the phone, but due to the fact that it was a terminal voice, I couldn’t quite make it out.
“Did you say something?”
When I asked that, senpai said
“Hey, you’re going to be there to cheer me on at the tournament tomorrow, right?”
“Yes, of course I’ll be there.”
“‘I see. …… Yeah, just by those words alone, I can really work hard.”
senpai said this in a happy tone of voice, and this time she said in a very bright voice.
“That’s that! Your understanding of onee san is still not good enough, so I’ll have to have you spend more time with me from now on so that you can get to know me~!”
“That also sounds like a lot of work.”
“But you don’t have to be depressed just because you got the comprehension test wrong this time! rather than I’ll send you a selfie of me in my swimsuit in the pose you want when you get it right, but I’ll send you a normal picture of me in my swimsuit instead!”
“No, thank you.”
“Eh~! Then do you want to see me in …… swimsuit with lots of skin tone?”
Mizushiro-senpai asked me this in a somewhat sweet voice, and I spoke without pausing.
“Senpai, please do your best in tomorrow’s individual tournament. I’m rooting for you.”
“! ? Oh, wait, wait, don’t cut it! ? Don’t joke around anymore, talk to onee san a little more!?”
“…… understand.”
After that, me and senpai enjoyed casual conversation for a little less than an hour.
◇Mizushiro side◇
After finishing the call with Magiri, Mizushiro put her phone on the table and said, her cheeks flushed red as she remembered Magiri’s face and the voice she had heard just a few moments before.
“I was worried about whether I would be able to swim properly tomorrow due to nerves from the individual competition and all, but if Iroto-kun is cheering me on, I have to do my best for that,……, but now I can’t seem to get you out of my head, and I’m starting to worry about whether I’ll be able to swim properly tomorrow! Mouu~! If I can’t concentrate and lose tomorrow, it will be your fault!”
While saying so, Mizushiro continued to say in response to herown words.
“…Well, even if that happens, it’s my fault, after all…I’m the one who fell in love with you this much.”
As she said this, her cheeks turned red and her mouth lined with happiness, and she was satisfied that she was able to talk to Magiri, and decided to sleep in preparation for tomorrow.
