“Eh, ah… I see….”
Sasaki-san lowers his arms with embarrassed, and disappointed expression at the unexpected reply.
I mean, Cheena, you can blame him a little harder than that.
As a result of stringing together a few freshly memorized words, he miraculously came up with a response that sounded like he was being careful, but it wasn’t enough.
Sasaki’s damage was controlled to the extent that he could only say, “I got it.”
Cheena also has a satisfied look on her face, as if to say, “I told you so.”
Oh, he gave me a smug look.
No, Cheena, it’s an airball.
Anyway, it’s time for me to join in.
Cheena’s vocabulary is already zero.
“Russia is a multi-ethnic country, and it’s a big place to die. Isn’t it natural that each region has a slightly different greeting?”
I say to Sasaki, making a super serious face as I push my way through my classmates who are trying to get rid of me.
It’s half bullshit, though I’m not going to be found out.
“Oh, really?…”
Sasaki looked frustrated as he took it in stride. No, it would be more correct to say that he looks disappointed.
You’re a person with ulterior motives.
“Or rather, why are you here too! I don’t care about your opinion!”
Sasaki has been rebelling for a short time even when he was slightly embarrassed.
It was almost like he was taking it out on me, but half of the people around me had the same question on their faces.
These guys are in on it, and they didn’t invite me.
Didn’t they think that it would be almost impossible to take out only Cheena?
While I was pondering for a moment on how to talk my way out of it, I got a completely unexpected backup.
“I asked him out. It was yesterday, so I forgot to call you.”
The guy who said that and put his hand on my shoulder for good measure was… my bad best friend Soji Soji.
Oh, you’re here?
What’s with that chara change? it’s not like you Soji Soji
It’s rare to see this guy, who doesn’t get together much, show up at a voluntary gathering.
Calling him a lone wolf sounds good, but it’s a complete waste of good looking people.
Nevertheless, I’m glad you had at least a kind side to you, defending me. …
Sasaki and the others, they looked so frustrated …
What’s wrong? What’s wrong with your reluctant face? It’s natural, isn’t it? You’re a classmate, after all.
… I knew that.
… My defense is that I’m completely on the side of agitation.
Soji dares to hunch over and look into Sasaki’s eyes.
This guy has sharp eyes and is tall, so this kind of action suits him well.
Well, it’s clearer now, so that’s good.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
We moved on to the changing rooms of the beach house.
The changing room was quite clean, despite its old appearance.
Well, I suppose it’s natural, because if it’s tattered, people might be wary of prying eyes and customers might not come.
I left my luggage in the locker and quickly changed.
I put my dog tag on…
Just before I finished changing, I asked Soji, who was changing in a nearby locker, about earlier.
I’m still curious as to why this guy is even participating in today’s swimming.
“Well, Soji, why did you participate this time?”
“Because we’re… classmates?”
“Go ahead and leave.”
I know very well that you are not the kind of person who would move for that reason, you pseudo-yankee.
I put on a long-sleeved rash guard, zipped up the front, and gave Soji the full force of my gaze.
“Huh, well, I guess so. This is going to be fun…”
My bad friend gives me a sideways glance with a grin as he fastens his locker.
In that cold smile, I could see the obvious selfishness.
This b*****d probably thinks he can find an outlet for his agitation disorder in the battle between me & Cheena and the class members.
Well, I knew it would be something like that.
“For God’s sake, don’t let them hurt us.”
“ ‘Us’ … Well, it depends on what you’re doing.”
Then Soji grinned and smiled fearlessly.
With such conversations, I passed the time even after I finished changing.
The girls wouldn’t be done changing soon anyway.
It’s just too hot to wait outside.
Oh, I see everyone except Soji and I have already left. Oh well.
By the way, I’m wearing a rash guard to cover my upper body, but Soji is naked.
He also has a very muscular and sleek body.
If he has a handsome face, does he have a handsome body?
The girls are going to be excited.
At that moment, I heard a tremendous cheer from outside.
It consisted mostly of male voices.
“Oh, looks like the girls are coming out. It’s time to go.”
“Huh, … aiyo.” (E/N: Let’s make this cool and just say it means roger. you hear aiyo mostly in anime when somebody buys something from a stall. it’s mostly said by old(?) vendors.)
As I followed Soji out of the changing room, I could smell the good smells coming from the stalls selling snacks.
And there was Cheena (not visible) and a formation of boys and girls surrounding her.
“You’re so cute, Chris!”
“That bathing suit matches your skin tone very well!”
“Takahara has a really nice body too!”
Ahhh, the template deployment is illegally dumped.
So, Takahara is… ah, that handsome normie.
So that means he’s surrounded along with Cheena.
The onlookers threw all the compliments they could think of at Cheena and Takahara (in the direction they were supposed to be).
Everyone, you’re not getting 50% of the message!
Anyway, even if I wanted to help Cheena, I had to deal with this siege.
No matter how hard I work out, I don’t feel comfortable wading through a group of girls.
What should I do?… Yosh!(E/N: Let’s do this.)
“Go Soji! Get the girls’ target!”
“Don’t play dumb, you slacker. *sigh*”
Gosh, the comeback.. it hurts!
But that’s sweet, Soji. I’m sure you’re the same as me…
“Oh, it’s Shimizu-kun!”
“Oh, Soji-kun! Wow! So many muscles!”
“As expected of Shimizu. He’s got a great body!”
Hearing the handsome man’s voice, all the girls turned around at once.
As expected.
Like Takahara, the girls were also waiting to see Soji in his bathing suit, but they did not miss the target’s voice.
As expected, you always do a great job, Soji.
I hereby bestow upon you the title, The Master of Attention Seeking.
I looked sideways at the face of my bad best friend, who must be looking very disappointed that I made him do something he didn’t want to.
Ahh… It’s nice to see him in a bad mood once in a while.
But there was a demon who was smiling brightly at me as if he had won …
‘That cost a lot! Ioriiiii!’
I’ve received telepathy from…
“Wait Soji what in the world are you trying to do!?”
Soji held out his hands as if he was making a speech, and began to speak so that the boys, who were paying attention to the girls…, could hear him.
No, no, no, no, no! What are you doing?
“My body is just muscular and thin! You can’t compare it to his… ‘thin muscles’!”
With that, Soji unzipped my rash guard at an alarming rate.
A/N: Soji Shimizu, the number one character who starts talking on his own when I’m writing.
(E/N: I didn’t expect that the climax and the cliffhanger will be Iori’s muscles.)
