Chapter 1: Nice to Meet You and Greetings

Episode 16: Больно (Painfully) part 

Translated by BunnyByun

Edited by ArroganceComplex

If you get stung by one, it’s… quite painful.

The pain is as intense as an electric shock, and the shock often causes people to drown.

In fact, Cheena had become completely confused and was flailing her hands away from the float.

She waved her hands around unnecessarily, desperately trying to keep from sinking, but the pain and panic were having the opposite effect.

“Yori! Gobo…… Yori!”

“Cheena, calm down!”

(T/N: Gobo here ごぼっ is an onomatopoeic word when you are being sucked into or your gurgling water. Just like in the scene, Cheena is drowning and while calling Iori, she’s been gurgling a lot of water.)

As Cheena struggled, sucking in water, Akimoto, who was close by, tried to reach out to her. 

But that was a bad idea.

“You can’t go near her, Akimoto! If she hugs you, it’s secondary damage!” 

“Then what should I do… ?”

I’m not sure if Akimoto, who looks like she’s about to cry, is ready to save Cheena, but I walk past her in an instant and go around to Cheena’s side.

“I’m sorry, Cheena, I’m going to touch you a little.”

After gazing at her {一応そう断ってから} , I put my right hand around her back from the front and pulled her head out of the water.

Cheena is still flailing, but it’s unlikely that she’ll be able to get out with her own strength.

She can breathe now. All that’s left is…

“Soji!”

“ Towel and lifesaver!”

Soji understood my intentions before I could tell him, and as soon as I finished, he swam out to land.

He’s very perceptive in his own way.

He should have used his cleverness in a more meaningful way.

“Akimoto, take your classmates and go back to land!”

“I, I understand… , wayatsu!” (sfx of going out quickly of the water) 

I instructed Akimoto to do the same and headed for land, in case there were still jellyfish nearby.

I used my left hand and foot to swim in the water while I hold Cheena in my right arm in place so that she can breath.(E/N: How romantic too bad it’s only for riajuus.)

Compared to the usual training of carrying heavy equipment and hard-to-float muscle mass, a single Cheena is nothing to worry about.

As you can see, Soji is getting further and further away from me, but it seems like my classmates who I told to go to the land immediately are having a hard time catching up to me.

“Ouch… Yori, sorry…”

“It’s okay, no problem. You don’t have to move, just breathe.” 

As Cheena calmed down a bit, but still sounded in pain, I called out to her to reassure her.

In fact, it is much faster for me to carry her like this than to make her swim by herself while enduring the pain.

No, Cheena, who is not used to the sea, would probably be faster this way even if she is in perfect condition.

It’s a great way to get the most out of your daily training…

We approached the beach steadily, keeping our distance from the group of classmates, and soon arrived.

I sat Cheena down on the edge of the waves and looked at her, she had a long, thin worm sore on her left ankle.

There’s still a little tentacle left, too…

If you look closely, you can see a thin stringy… thing attached to the wound, a tentacle.

As I was gently rinsing the tentacles with seawater so as not to irritate the stinging spores attached to them, 

“Iori, I’ve brought him here.” 

Soji, holding a towel, brought in a young man.

He was dressed in yellow and red… and was a lifesaver.

“Are you okay? Please let me see the wound.” 

I used a towel to lightly remove the tentacles while giving space to the man who called out to me with concern.

The man who saw it looked a little impressed, “You’re used to it, aren’t you?”

Well, I’ve had some experience with off-season long swims and such…

I’ve even taken care of myself.

But the lifesavers know more about it than I do, so I feel more comfortable having them take a look.

After a quick look, the man opened his mouth as if he was relieved.

“It’s an Andon, isn’t it? I think it’s okay for now. Just let it cool down and see a doctor if you’re worried.” 

“I see. I’m glad.”

Then there would be no after-effects or scarring.

I’m glad he’s not a bad guy.

I felt relieved and thanked the lifesaver man who was leaving.

After that, we let Cheena rest there for a while.

“Are you okay, Chris?”

Sasaki, who had finally gotten out of the water, called out to us.

I wondered if he was worried or out of breath from swimming so fast.

When I looked at him, I saw that my other classmates had also arrived in the same way.

Sasaki was approaching me with a red face.

I don’t want to make a fuss about it, so I’ll just tell them that everything is fine.

I was about to open my mouth to do so, but before I could, my spirit was shattered.

“What the h**l did you do to Chris? What have you done to Chris? !!!!!”
