Supporting High School Student Needs a Moment for Himself

“Oh, I just got out mys–elf—…..?”

“Wh, what’s wrong? Does it…..look weird?”

“N, No! Not at all! You look really great!”

Suzuka is wearing a bikini-type swimsuit with light and cute pattern.

The base color is a bright white that suits Suzuka’s personality very well with floral patterns lightly decorating it. It also has laces adorning it, which brings out Suzuka’s feminine side.

I have never seen her wearing anything that has this much skin exposure even though I have worked with her for a long time so I was immediately captivated and for a brief moment, I forgot how to speak.

However, I can’t afford to be distracted by that so I immediately recovered and tried to reply normally. When I read light novels, I often came across swimsuit events like this, and honestly, I always doubt how can someone’s image change so much just by changing their clothes.

Still, in reality, I don’t think such a thing is an exaggeration. Normally, I wouldn’t get flustered with something like this since we often work together but in addition to her swimsuit, she also has a shy look on her face. Moreover, she just asked me whether that swimsuit suits her with an upturned glance.

She is now even more attractive than when she wears her makeup at work.

“W, well, we can’t just stand in the sun like this so…..let’s go……?”

“I, I have to take a shower first……”

“Y, yeah, let’s.”

“It’s cold isn’t it…….”

“Right…..ah……I already took a shower……”

I was flustered more than I thought so I ended up taking another cold shower with her. Still, thanks to the cold water, I managed to regain my calm a little bit.

“Ahahaha. You forgot that?……you are all flustered now! Am I that attractive～? Urya～ Urya～!”

“…..well, I did forget that I already took a cold shower after all.”

“Eh? Wh, What are you…..wait!”

“Come on, it’s getting hot here, let’s move.”

I got even calmer after Suzuka teased me so I decided to move to the pool for the time being.

This place has both indoor and outdoor pools. The outdoor pools consisted of a wave pool, a flow pool, and a pool with waterfalls.

For indoor, there is a 50-meter pool and leisure attractions like a waterslide, a sauna, and a heated pool for some relaxing time.

The outdoor pool, as well as the summer stalls outside, are only available during summer. I remembered eating churros here.

“Anyway, shall we go to the wave pool first?”

“That’s nice! This place is famous for that too!”

“Yeah……Oh, the water temperature is just right, it feels nice here. Come on in, Suzuka.”

The wave pool was designed so that it gets gradually deeper the further you are from the poolside like when you go to the beach. Right now, I am at the position where the water reached my waist.

Unlike the cold shower earlier, the temperature here is just right and feels refreshing. Somehow, it’s warm enough that I just want to stay here forever.

Urged by me, Suzuka also got herself into the water.

“Really?…….it’s true!…….EI!”

Suzuka walked past me and turned around, splashing water at my face. I was taken by surprise but I managed to prevent the water from getting into my eyes.

Since I have no intention to get barraged one-sidedly, I immediately splashed some water at her in return.

“Auff! Don’t think you can take me by surprise…..!”

“Kyah! It got into my eyes～!”

“Hmph, this is for earlier….!”

“Wa wahh! I can’t see anything right now! This isn’t fair!”

Saying so, Suzuka also scooped up some water to splash at me but she sent it in the wrong direction since she’s currently blinded.

“Haha. I’m not even there you know?”

“Eh? I will get you this time!”

“Eh, wha, that’s not me!”

Suzuka turns around and splashes water into that general direction. There was certainly someone in that direction but that’s not me but a couple of pool-goers.

If I left it like this, the water will hit the two innocent bystanders so I immediately jumped toward her.……

“BuHe! Abuububu!”

“Eh, Wait, what, Kyah!”

I failed and accidentally submerged both myself and Suzuka into the water. Our eyes met in the water, Suzuka looked very surprised…….wait, this is not the time for that! I hurriedly pulled Suzuka’s hand and got us above water level.

“S, sorry, Suzuka! Are you alright!?”

“Cough, Cough, I, I’m fine. That surprised me though……”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to the pool so I’m not used to moving in the water ye—…..ahahaha! Your hair got all wet, you look like you have a beard now, Suzuka!”

When I rubbed the water out of my eyes, Suzuka’s semi-long hair stuck to her face like a beard and I ended up laughing at her.

Perhaps she just wiped the water out of her eyes too, Suzuka is looking at me with a puzzled expression.

“You say that but Seiya-kun’s hair is ruined so you look like Sadako the ghost you know, you are Sadao-kun now!”

Come to think of it, I also went completely submerged earlier huh.

“Eh? No wonder it got dark for a second. Alright, this is fine, right.”

“Come on,  you can’t do it crudely like that! Even just as a bonus, we do have swimsuits to promote right….yup! Now you look passable!”

“Y, yeah, Thanks.”

When I crudely swept my hair up, Suzuka said that wouldn’t do and fixed my hair for me. Now my hair was swept completely back, exposing my forehead. I remember shooting with this hairstyle once before.

But that’s not the problem. When she fixed my hair, her face was closer to mine than I expected so I turned my eyes away and thanked her.

“Eh? Wa Wah, U, Un! A, anyway, I’m hungry so let’s grab something for lunch!”

“Y, Yeah! Let’s find something to eat!”

Suzuka also noticed that my face was right in front of her so she got a little panicked. In order to reset this atmosphere, we decided to get out of the water for the time being.
