What If I Told Tomori-san, The Girl Who's Cold Only Towards Me, That I Knew Her Secret Account? - V2 Chapter 6.3

Pool Date Crisis 3

Round ③, Wave Pool.

“Hey, K-kun, lend me your chest for a moment.”

“Huh? Hey, Azuazu, why are you suddenly hugging—”

“That guy over there, who looks like a playboy, is staring at me. Probably trying to pick someone up. So, I’m going for the ‘I have a boyfriend’ move.”

“Isn’t that too straightforward?”

“We’re in a cold pool, so it’s fine, right? Let’s sway with the waves like this for a while.”

“Rejected. Not just university students but even the people around us are giving us curious looks. They’ll surely think we’re a silly couple—”

“Hey, K-kun, what do you like about me?”

“Listen to what others are saying.”

“This is also a lover’s appeal. If you don’t answer, I won’t let go, you know?”

“Well… you’re always working hard to achieve goals like sports, studying, and helping others.”

“I see. As expected, you like girls who work hard towards their goals.”

“——As expected?”

“Seira-san is also working hard to win Aiyu.”

“Why bring Seira into this… Anyway, why don’t you aim for Aiyu too, Tomori?”

“…It’s not really my thing. I’m not good at competing with friends or anything like that.”

“I see. That’s a shame. I would have liked to see Tomori working hard toward a new goal, though.

“Ehehe, I’m glad you have expectations for me. Gyu~♪”

” … “

“Gyu~, Gyu~, Gyu♪ Hey, not just me, but I want K-kun to Gyu with me too.”

“Fine.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t regret it, okay?”

(TN: “gyu” is a Japanese onomatopoeic expression that represents a squeezing or hugging sound. )

Round ④, Poolside with shaved ice.

“You were so embarrassed, weren’t you?! Doing Gyu~ for so long! Why don’t you disinfect that discolored brain with chlorine!?”

“Minus 1 point.”

“And on top of that, you kept whispering ‘Azuazu’ in my ear over and over… I finally understood today! You’re not K-kun, you’re S-kun! And by S, I mean Sadistic!”

“Minus 2 points.”

“You’re so cold and calculating, it’s definitely S, right?”

“Minus 3 points. At this rate, the game is a landslide victory for me.”

“Ugh… you’re annoying.”

“!? Don’t suddenly shove shaved ice into my mouth.”

“Ehh, even though I was sharing my Blue Hawaii with you. What’s wrong? Your face is a bit red. Are you embarrassed about the indirect kiss—”

“Shut up.”

“Whoa!? Hey! Putting shaved ice into my mouth—”

“I was just sharing my lemon. Here, take another bite… Ahh.”

“It’s cold… Wait, did you do it on purpose, dropping it on my chest?”

“Sorry. I wasn’t aiming for that—”

“Hey, can you wipe the ice?”

” … “

“It was K-kun who dropped it, right? So… there, see? Just pick it up.”

“…Is this your revenge for teasing me? Your silly thinking needs to cool down in the pool.”

“Hehe. K-kun, minus 1 point~… By the way, is something wrong?”

“——No, it’s just that girl over there with the brown dyed hair and sunglasses. I feel like she’s been staring at us all the time.”

“Minus 10,000 points.”

“Huh? I didn’t say anything toxic. And why so many minus points?”

“…Idiot. You talk about other girls when you’re with me. Minus points as a guy.”

“Don’t go that far.”

“If you give me a present as an apology, I’ll forgive you.”

“What kind of present?”

“Well… Oh, there was a game center in the amusement park area, right? If you could get me a stuffed toy from there, I’d be really happy.”

“Are you okay with that?”

“Yeah! If I get it, maybe I’ll give it a cute name and cherish it like it was you?”

“…Hey, you’re trying to make me say something toxic again. What you said just now is way too embarrassing——”

“Then I’ll hang it on the ceiling with a rope and jab body upper straight!”

“Don’t treat it as a sandbag! “

“Ahaha, I’m joking. A gift from K-kun is something I’ll treasure for the rest of my life.”

I completely forgot about the network outage.

I can’t tell anymore how much of it was her true feelings that she couldn’t write on her secret account or it was her teasing me to make me say something toxic.

We swam, played, ran around, laughed together, exchanged words, enjoyed the summer to the fullest, and shared enjoyable time.

With Azusa Tomori, my one and only schoolmate.

Perhaps because of that, I recalled the day when I came here to play just once in the past.

『Let’s swim together, Kei! If you beat me, I’ll treat you to shaved ice!』

『Everyone, don’t forget to put on sunscreen, okay?』

『Geez, why the hell are we here at the pool with you guys?』

『Isn’t it fine? It’s perfect for a change of pace. Kazarina achieved quite a lot in the previous incident. Right, Kei?』

『Yeah. Let’s have fun together today as a celebration.』

It was just two years ago, but it feels so distant now.

A summer as scorching as today.

We came here as the five who formed Kazalina.

I thought I would never have such a fun time with friends again, but——

“It’s my first time having this much fun. I’m really glad I came here with Kagisaka-kun!”

We were by the poolside illuminated by the evening sun gradually setting.

Azusa Tomori in her swimsuit had a dazzling smile like a midsummer sunflower.

“——I feel the same, Tomori.”

The ‘no harsh word’ game.

At first, I started playing it to support Tomori, but before I knew it, I enjoyed it so much.

I can clearly recognize it. Ever since becoming Tomori’s partner, I’ve been able to recall how fun everyday life with friends can be.

“Well…”

But, of course, I’d never say such embarrassingly sincere thoughts, even if it’s ‘no harsh word’.
