"Absolutely. Actually, I wasn't interested at all at first, but Matsushita and Sato kept asking me to go there, and then they followed me twice."
Karuizawa nodded and said excitedly, as if she wanted to share her good mood with Kitagawa Ryo:
"Actually, Onodera in our class is a very fast swimmer. His 50-meter time is not far behind Sudou's."
"However, the fastest swimmer in the class seems to be Koenji, but his movements are too large and he always laughs while swimming. As a result, no one wants to swim in the same pool with him."
Karuizawa shook her white calf and recalled:
"If I hadn't been able to swim, I would have wanted to go for a swim."
"Well, hasn't kei ever been in the swimming pool?"
I listened to Karuizawa speech earlier, but I didn't expect that after all, Karuizawa was just watching the fun by the swimming pool.
"...I'm just a little embarrassed."
Karuizawa scratched her cheek a little embarrassed:
"Anyway, Airi is also unwilling to change into a swimsuit and go into the water. I want to accompany her, okay."
After finding an ambiguous reason for herself, Karuizawa quickly brought up the topic:
"Could it be that Ryo is good at swimming?"
"no."
"Pfft."
Karuizawa Kei was amused by Kitagawa Ryo's right words and laughed out loud. She lay down on Kitagawa Ryo's bed and asked with a smile:
"So is this why Ryo doesn't want to go to the pool?"
"Just take it as such, it always feels weird for people who can't swim to go to the swimming pool."
Kitagawa Ryo looked at the quilt that was in a state of disgrace under Karuizawa ravages and pursed his lips and said:
"We are both landlubbers anyway, so no one is laughing at the other."
"It's not that I can't swim, I just don't want to swim."
Karuizawa became very proud at this time.
"Ah, yes, yes, actually, it's not that I can't swim, I just don't want to swim."
"I can really swim!"
Karuizawa stood up from the bed and gritted his teeth.
"Well, I can really swim too."
Kitagawa Ryo nodded in agreement.
"Then go to the swimming pool and let you see if I can do it!"
Karuizawa put on her sandals angrily, then took Kitagawa Ryo's arm and dragged him to the floor where the swimming pool was.
----------------------------------------
"I didn't expect to see Karuizawa-san and Kitagawa-san here."
Standing by the swimming pool, Yosuke Hirata, who seemed to have just swam, was drying his body with a towel. Water droplets flowed down and then dripped from his toned upper body. The few strands of hair that were tightly stuck to his forehead gave people a different look than usual. With the same impression, the sunny and handsome young man greeted the two of them with a smile. Kitagawa Ryo could understand how popular this guy was among girls.
"Oh, it turns out Hirata is here too."
Kitagawa Ryo nodded. He still had a good impression of Hirata Yosuke. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Class D can now continue steadily. Hirata Yosuke's character of a good old man also contributed a lot. Kitagawa still remembers the lightness. Izawa Megumi told him that on the first day of the uninhabited island exam, Hirata Yosuke took the initiative to take on the most tiring job of moving tents in the class. During the entire seven days, he slept the latest and got up the earliest and worked the most.
In fact, objectively speaking, his psychological problems are somewhat similar to those of Ichinose Honami. He always acts with a sense of atonement. However, what is different from Ichinose Honami is that if Hirata Yosuke is forced to At the limit, he should be much more dangerous than Ichinose Honami.
Fan Bo... will only continue to hurt himself in the end.
Kitagawa Ryo suddenly remembered the ending of the second simulation, and glanced at Karuizawa next to him with a complicated expression.
I always felt that it would be better for these two people not to meet.
"Are you two here to swim too? I always feel that your outfits are... well, how should I put it, quite special."
Of course, Hirata Yosuke didn't know what Kitagawa Ryo was thinking, but he just looked at the two people's outfits a little strangely.
The students at the swimming pool basically only wear a pair of swimming trunks for boys, and various swimsuits for girls. After all, they are all here to swim, but Kitagawa Ryo and Karuizawa are each more tightly packed than the other. If it is said that they are lighter If Megumi Izawa's sleeveless dress can still be considered a summer outfit, and Ryo Kitagawa's shirt is covered with a jacket, even if the air conditioning is turned on on the cruise ship, she won't wear so much.
Hirata Yosuke has also seen classmates like Tomura in the class who are too fat to come to such a public swimming pool, but Kitagawa Ryo's physique does not look like he is shameful. After thinking about it, I didn't even think of a result.
"Oh, I'm not here to swim, I'm here to watch Karuizawa-san swim."
Kitagawa Ryo explained with a smile.
"Karuizawa-san insists on proving herself to me."
"is that so?"
Hirata Yosuke clapped his hands as if he had figured something out:
"Then I won't disturb you two. I hope you have fun."
Before leaving, Hirata Yosuke secretly gave Kitagawa Ryo an encouraging gesture, and I don't know what he was thinking about.
After Hirata Yosuke left, Kitagawa Ryo crossed his arms with a relaxed expression on his face:
"benefit?"
"Forehead."
Obviously she was still in the room just now to show him her swimming skills, but when she actually came to the swimming pool, Karuizawa Megumi's expression froze again.
She just tapped the water with her toes, but made no further movements.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."
Karuizawa was silent for a while and finally raised his head and said with a smile.
"I seem to be more afraid of water. It seems to only give me the impression of being cold and suffocating."
"Does Ryo know what I'm talking about?"
"Know."
Kitagawa Ryo sat side by side next to Karuizawa Megumi, and he nodded.
He could easily guess what happened to Karuizawa during her three years in junior high school. Girls in the class would have water poured over her head in the toilet, and the lunch box she carried at noon would be knocked over at will, leaving her Lie on the ground and pick it up with your mouth.
That's why Karuizawa resists swimming in the water like she is now, and that's why when she was on the island, she said she ate less and wasn't hungry.
"It feels very unfair."
Karuizawa said in a low voice, with an inexplicable flavor in his tone:
"Ryo knows everything about me."
"But I don't know anything about Liang."
"Maybe it's because I've known you for a long time, but you've only known me for a short time."
Kitagawa Ryo explained this way.
"But Ryoya has never told me about the past. If he never told me, no matter how long we have known each other, I would not know."
"Didn't Kei initially come to this school with the idea of starting over?"
Kitagawa Ryo looked directly into Karuizawa pupils:
"It didn't matter that much in the past."
He asserted this categorically.
"If you only think about the past, Megumi won't grow up to where you are now."
"...Um."
But Karuizawa was still a little emotional. Her toes moved a little faster, causing ripples on the water.
Perhaps it was because she didn't know until today that Kitagawa Ryo still had a hobby of going to theaters. Karuizawa felt an inexplicable sourness when she thought of this. Perhaps at the beginning, she relied on the one created by Kitagawa Ryo. A shadow-like image, but what she wants to know now is Kitagawa Ryo himself.
Even though the relationship between the two seems to be quite close now, when I think that I and Kitagawa Ryo have never been involved in each other's past, I will always feel a little disappointed. On the one hand, I feel that this loss is a desire to make further progress, but this loss is indeed It does exist.
Just when the atmosphere between the two people fell into silence, a figure quietly touched the back of Kitagawa Ryo, and then flew up and kicked Kitagawa Ryo directly on the back without mercy.
"Pfft."
Kitagawa Ryo, who had no reaction at all, was kicked out of the swimming pool. He emerged from the water in a state of embarrassment. He wiped the water on his face again and saw the sneak attack:
"Long Yuan, why are you so crazy?"
"Simply thinking someone should go into the water and cool down."
Ryūen Sho put away his right foot and was about to make a few more jokes when he saw Karuizawa Kei also jump down with a pop.
"?"
While Ryuuen Sho was slowly typing the question mark, Kitagawa Ryo could only smile bitterly when he saw that Karuizawa kei choked two mouthfuls of water as soon as he entered the water. He swam over and picked her up again.
"The one who can't swim rescues the one who can swim. It's so exciting."
Ryuuen Sho looked at Karuizawa kei who was coughing and feeling nauseous, and then glanced at Kitagawa Ryo:
"I'll tell you something later. Go back to your room early."
"I know, get away."
After speaking to Ryuuen Sho angrily, Kitagawa Ryo also patted Karuizawa kei on the back:
"Is everything okay?"
"No...it's okay."
After coughing a few more times, Karuizawa kei reluctantly replied. The white dress she was wearing was soaked in water and stuck tightly to her body. It highlighted the girl's figure and also allowed Kitagawa Ryo to see it because of its slight transparency. A layer further inside.
Although I had already seen it a little bit in the room, it was even more obvious now.
Karuizawa kei wore a school one-piece swimsuit under her dress. It seemed like a strange combination, but when you think about the other party's thoughts, it's not incomprehensible. It should be for if you really want to go into the water. It was prepared at that time.
"Ryo can swim..."
Just as she regained consciousness, Karuizawa kei made a small protest.
Kitagawa Ryo nodded helplessly:
"I did say I could swim."
"I obviously asked you."
"But you asked me if I was good at it. I said no, and you didn't ask me if I was good at it."
Borrowing a dry towel from the school staff nearby, Kitagawa Ryo wiped Karuizawa kei hair naturally. After all, he was the one who caused the other party to jump into the water.
"You're actually playing word games in a place like this."
Karuizawa tilted his head and rolled his eyes at Kitagawa Ryo:
"And why do you feel like Ryo is so skilled at it?"
"Um, I said I had a cat before and I bathed the cat often. Can this excuse be passed?"
"Ryo showed up again and passed by without me knowing."
"Yes, yes, it's my problem."
Karuizawa kei looked at Kitagawa Ryo's chest. The water-soaked white shirt clung to her skin with a faint sense of transparency. She really saw something.
"Liang, you have to tell me. Don't let it slip."
"Um."
ps: A 5,000-word chapter, rounded up to two chapters (bushi)
ps2: The inspiration for this chapter comes from a very magical easter egg. In the third volume, I once described a white dress that Kitagawa Ryo gave to Karuizawa kei at the beach. As a result, the second practical education has just been released these days. Among the seasonal special items, there is an illustration of Karuizawa kei drawn by the original artist. It is exactly what I thought of: a white skirt, a sunhat, and the seaside. Suddenly, there is a feeling of xp connection.
ps3: Thank you for reading and subscribing. This kind of transitional chapter is much more difficult to write than the story line. I feel that the coding speed will be faster after the exam for privileged candidates starts.
