What If I Told Tomori-san, The Girl Who's Cold Only Towards Me, That I Knew Her Secret Account? - V2 Chapter 6.2

Pool Date Crisis 2

(…what should I do?)

Tomori doesn’t casually open her mouth.

If we can’t have a proper conversation, we won’t be able to enjoy ourselves fully.

(No)

Actually, this might be convenient for me.

If I can’t talk to Tomori, our distance won’t close.

However, [let’s do our best to make today as enjoyable as possible.]

What popped into my head was the tweet from her secret account.

(—I can’t do that.)

I can’t ignore her since I see her sincere intention like that.

“Since we’re here, let’s play a game, Tomori.”

“Huh? Sure, I don’t mind.”

“Remember when you came here with the student council members before, and we played the English-ban game? Let’s add a twist to it.”

“What kind of twist?”

“A ban on harsh words. Today, whoever uses harsh words the most will have a penalty.”

“What!?!”

For a moment, Tomori was surprised, but then she immediately smiled.

“Nice! That’s a good idea Kagisaka-kun!.”

As expected of the honor student, her mind works quickly.

She quickly understood the advantages of this game.

Yes, with the premise of banning harsh words, it would be okay for Tomori to express her true feelings a bit.

——I’m lying to avoid speaking sarcastically!

That’s because she can use excuses like that.

“Well then, how about I call you ‘K-kun’ all day today~?”

“No.”

“Oh? I was just trying to avoid sarcasm by calling you using a nickname. Are you embarrassed, perhaps?”

“No way.”

You’re quite the strategist, Tomori.

She quickly recovered from the pinch and adapted to the game.

However, it’s really painful that only I feel embarrassed.

“It’s not like that, Azuazu.”

“!”

Enduring my embarrassment, I came up with a nickname on the spot and called her that.

She responded with a cute little whine, like a Dachshund being poked in the belly.

“Wha, Azuazu…!?”

“Huh? What’s wrong? I was just trying to avoid harsh words by calling you using a nickname. Are you embarrassed, perhaps?”

“…Haa? There’s no way, okay?”

“Then let’s go, Azuazu.”

“Ugh.”

“What’s wrong, Azuazu? Your face looks like a red light.”

“Y-you bastard! You really have the worst personality! Calling me by a nickname repeatedly in such a crowded place…”

“Yes, harsh words. Minus one point.”

“Ugh…!”

“At school, you’re often called by nicknames countless times. Is it that embarrassing?”

“…it can’t be helped. Being called such a nickname by you… It’s the first time.”

“So that’s why you launched a verbal attack. I see; now I understand the strategy of the game. If I say something that embarrasses Azuazu, she’ll self-destruct on her own.”

“Hehe, K-kun is so kind. You’re telling me your game strategy even though I’m your enemy.”

Then, Tomori added,

“But I also have a plan, you know?”

Tomori took my hand, and we started walking toward the midsummer pool.

*****

Round ①, Lazy Pool.

“The water is so refreshing and cold~. ——Oops!”

“!”

“Sorry, sorry. I slipped and lost my balance.”

“Don’t lie. Didn’t you purposely hug my arm?”

“I thought that if I embarrassed you, you might say something nasty.”

“Don’t steal other people’s strategies.”

“By the way, why are you wearing a rash guard?”

“Just because? It’s for sun protection——”

“Wow… I’m surprised. K-kun, your abs are amazing. They are so well-defined.”

“Hey, don’t just lift my rash guard so openly——”

“Can I touch them?”

“Huh?”

“If you let me touch them… you can touch my stomach, too?”

“What kind of equivalent exchange is this? Have you turned into a seductress or something?”

“Yes, harsh word. Minus one point.”

“Hey…”

“What? Are you regretting saying something bad?”

“Not like that. Stop casually stroking my body.”

“Don’t worry. It’s underwater, so no one can see.”

“Is that the problem?”

“Wow… as I thought, they’re really firm…”

“!?—Good. In that case…”

“Hyaa! Why are you touching my belly…!”

“You said it was okay to touch.”

“The way you touched was too suggestive!”

“I just used Azuazu’s movement as a reference.”

“You…!”

“You’re ticklish huh…?!”

“Kyaa! Haha, you shouldn’t tickle me!”

Round ②, Water Slider.

“Since we’re here, let’s slide together.”

“Don’t joke around. Sliding with you would be a tortur——”

“Huh?”

“——an enticing offer?”

“Weren’t you about to say it’s torture?”

“Of course not. It’s because the line is long, so we’ll be waiting for a while.”

“Hmm… I have an idea. While we’re waiting, let’s talk about otaku stuff!”

“Huh? Are you serious? The honor student Azuazu?”

“I read all the volumes of the manga ‘Chainsaw Man’ that you recommended the other day.”

“Really? How was it?”

“It was incredibly entertaining! The way the characters were portrayed was so skillful! They made the readers deeply emotionally involved and then hit them with sudden developments. The ending of Part 1 was especially shocking. There were also parts that moved me to tears, so I read the borrowed volumes from Chifuyu and cried alone late at night.”

“Well done. I just recommended it recently, and you’ve read all the volumes…”

“Hehe. I wanted to have lots of otaku discussions with K-kun, so this amount of effort is nothing for me.”

“By the way, did you watch the anime too?”

“Yeah, the opening theme was so cool!”

“I agree. Did you notice? The OP had many parodies of movies in it.”

“Yeah, it was stylish and fantastic!”

“The author seems to be a movie fan, so they probably chose those movie parodies with a purpose… Ah”

“Whoops. It’s almost our turn.”

“We were so engrossed in chatting that time flew by.”

“Yeah! When I’m talking with K-kun, I forget the time because it’s so much fun!”
