Two pairs of pool tickets…

    I have witnessed Sara-senpai’s goddess power(?) once again.

    I thought about going twice by ourselves, but Sara-senpai wanted to invite Natsumi-senpai, so I decided to invite a friend.

    The question was, should I invite Yuji or Hayato?

    I don’t want to pick one or the other, but…

    If Natsumi-senpai was the one going, I think I should invite Hayato.

    As a friend, I should be able to provide him that kind of support, I guess?

    However, I also feel it would be a waste of opportunity not to introduce Yuji to Sara-senpai. Besides, we haven’t been able to hang out much since I moved out, so considering that…

    “It’s been long since I’ve gone to the pool to play. Kazunari-san… Natsumi… and me… Fufu, we’ll all get to play together!”

    It was unusual for Sara-senpai to be so happy.

    I also thought having a pool date with the two of us would be somewhat embarrassing. Plus, lately, it’s been the two of us, so having fun with friends once in a while isn’t a bad idea.

    Most of all, Sara-senpai was delighted.

    “Thank you very much, Kazunari-san, for listening to my selfishness.

    “No, it’s not selfish at all. I’m looking forward to it.”

    Sara-senpai, who had high spirits, suddenly shifted into a mischievous expression.

    What might that mean?

    “By the way, I don’t have a swimsuit for our pool date. That’s why… I would like you to choose one for me, Kazunari-san. I’ll leave it to you, okay?”

    Eeeh? That request is on another level of difficulty.

    ——————————————

    With that, today, as promised, I was going to choose a swimsuit for Sara-senpai, but…

    “Iyaa~, you’re so lucky, Sara-sama, to get a ticket to Marine Garden Pool! I always wanted to go there someday, but I never thought I could go for free.”

    Natsumi-senpai, who was in a good mood, was making a fuss.

    …Weird. I thought it was only Sara-senpai and me who would go buy a swimsuit.

    “If you’re that happy, then it’s worth inviting you. I’m also looking forward to it.”

    “Since we’re going to a resort pool, I want to go there in a new swimsuit.”

    Apparently, Natsumi-senpai was triggered by Sara-senpai buying a new swimsuit.

    I don’t care about that… But Sara-senpai didn’t tell me that Natsumi-senpai would be coming along. She won’t ask me to choose for her too, right?

    “I’m counting on you, Takanashi-kun, for your good fashion sense.”

    …It might have been better if you two were to choose.

    ——————————————

    “How’s this?”

    “Umm… I’d say it’s a little too revealing. This isn’t something that you’d typically wear in public…”

    Natsumi-senpai’s chosen swimsuit seemed highly impractical, or rather, it showed too much skin.

    Even for me, it’s no joke to let Senpai walk around in public in such a swimsuit.

    “But look, Takanashi-kun might be pleased.”

    “No, I don’t want Sara-senpai to wear such a swimsuit in public. Also, I don’t like it.”

    “Kazunari-san…”

    Senpai looked at me with a gentle smile.

    Come to think of it, I don’t even want to show her regular swimsuit to other guys.

    “Don’t you want to see it when there’s only the two of you?”

    Sara-senpai wearing a swimsuit that has such a small area to hide…

    It’s hard to say because Senpai doesn’t wear clothes often that show off her curves, but she has quite a stylish body.

    If she were to stand right in front of me wearing a swimsuit like that, I’d be in all kinds of trouble.

    “…I can easily tell what you’re thinking because of your face. Well, I guess Takanashi-kun is a healthy boy too.”

    “Kazunari-san’s a… pervert.”

    Sara-senpai muttered those words and blushed.

    …That was a bit of a shock.

    “Sara, Takanashi-kun is also a boy. So won’t you forgive him?”

    Natsumi-senpai, perhaps noticing my shock, followed up.

    Sara-senpai also noticed this and came closer to me with a flustered look. She then started patting my head and snuggled.

    “I-I’m sorry. Um… I didn’t want to, but if it’s just Kazunari-san… although it’s embarrassing… but I…”

    Sara-senpai’s face was turning vermilion as she said that, but she still had no intention of stopping patting my head.

    “I-I want to see Sara in a cute swimsuit rather than that one… And I really don’t want other guys to see it…”

    “Ara, Takanashi-kun is also the possessive type, isn’t he?”

    Natsumi-senpai said teasingly.

    Ugh… I wonder if I’m attracted to those with possessive personalities.

    I thought I had made a mistake by unintentionally letting my true feelings come out. Still, Sara-senpai seemed to be happy about it.

    “Kazunari-san… If you don’t like it, I’ll wear something over my swimsuit.”

    “No, no, there is no way you would cover up a swimsuit, especially in a resort pool.”

    Natsumi-senpai said the most obvious thing.

    For me, I also won’t tell her to hide her swimsuit.

    “If Kazunari-san approves. Then it’s okay not to hide this on the resort pool, right?”

    Sara-senpai refuted it like it was only natural.

    I can’t answer this haphazardly.
