While making some selections, my eyes caught the mannequin’s swimsuit. It was a neat swimsuit with a flower-patterned one-piece dress and a pareo wrapped around it.

This swimsuit… will look good on Sara-senpai.

“Umm, Sara-senpai… try this swimsuit.”

“Yes, then I’ll try this one on.”

Since I boldly recommended it, Sara-senpai quickly accepted without any hesitation.

There was also the size verification, so I moved a little further.

By the way, Natsumi-senpai is currently trying on clothes.

She was making a fuss about wearing a bikini, so I chose a few of them for her.

Of course, I have no confidence in my taste.

After confirming that Sara-senpai has entered the fitting room, Natsumi-senpai came out while I was waiting nearby.

“Sorry for the wait~. How is it? Looks good?”

Uhh…

She must have realized by now that there’s no way I can stare at a girl wearing a swimsuit, but to think she is actually asking me what I think…

Natsumi-senpai has a stylish atmosphere, so she looks good in a bikini. She is of a different type than Sara-senpai, but when such beauty is showing off to me, I will surely get embarrassed…

“U-umm, it suits you… very.”

It seemed Natsumi-senpai was satisfied when she saw me looking embarrassed.

“Okay! Then I’ll go with this one. Success!”

After saying that, she retreated into the fitting room, quickly changed into her original clothes, and came out.

“Has Sara chosen one yet?”

“She’s in the middle of changing.”

As soon as I said that, the curtain opened.

Senpai, wearing the swimsuit I chose, came out looking embarrassed…

“…”

I can’t help but stare at her instinctively…

It’s a slightly mature swimsuit, but the contrast between the floral design, her black hair, and the white base of the swimsuit made her shine well…

Beautiful…

“Fufu, that look. I understand.”

Leaving with those words and that big smile, Sara-senpai returned to the fitting room.

I’m sure she read my expression.

Uwaah… that was embarrassing.

“H~n, Sara was so beautiful that I couldn’t put it into words.”

Natsumi-senpai says the words that I couldn’t utter from my mouth.

“Come to think of it, Takanashi-kun, who are you are inviting?”

Natsumi-senpai asked curiously.

“Ah, actually, I can’t decide. Between Hayato or my best friend from middle school?”

I am still undecided.

Hmm…

“Well… Thinking about it, I had an awkward breakup with Takanashi-kun’s friend I met some time ago.”

That’s right… At that time, I was utterly hostile because of a misunderstanding, so Yuji didn’t have a good impression either. (TN: Takanashi-kun doesn’t know between Natsumi and Yuji, demn)

Even though we are from different schools, I think this might be a good opportunity.

“Ah, yes, it’s true that it isn’t good to be on bad terms. But is that okay? Considering Yuji, he might be awkward at the beginning.”

“If he’s Kazunari-san’s important friend, I’d like to say hello to him as well.”

“Also, if it’s Yokogawa-kun, I can meet him at school and club activities.”

H~n, Natsumi-senpai doesn’t seem to notice Hayato’s feelings at all.

However, inviting Yuji is an excellent idea to clear up the wrong impression.

“Then I’ll invite Yuuji.”

I’ll make it up with Hayato another time, so I’ll invite Yuji this time.

“Fufufufu…”

…?

——————————————

That night.

“Marine garden pool?”

I called Yuji to ask if he had any plans first.

Natsumi-senpai has a tennis tournament, so there are many days when she is not available, including practice. So it would be nice if we have a common free time.

“Sara-senpai and her friend are coming, so there are four of us. What do you think?”

“I’m okay. I can match whatever schedule it is.”

Apparently, it’s okay.

All that was left was to go now.

“Well then. Just let me know the meeting time and place later.”

“Ah, I’m also looking forward to it… saying hello to your girlfriend. I know I caused a lot of trouble, but I’ll leave it to your hands to take care of me.”

“Yes, yes. I’m truly sorry.”

There’s no denying that time when Yuji caused a lot of trouble to help me.

But it’s been a long time since I’ve played with Yuji, so I’m looking forward to this pool in more ways than one.

Natsumi-senpai was very friendly, so I’m sure she’ll be able to get along with Yuji quickly.

I wonder if Sara-senpai will be rigid…
