Episode 46: Changing Clothes for PE
I peered over at my classmates while they chatted with each other in one corner of the gym out of the corner of my eye. No matter how hard I looked, I couldnât find any of my beautiful friends among them. A growing dread was creeping its way into my heart with each step I took closer to the locker room door. Perhaps theyâre notâŠ..
âYouâre late Yuuâ What were you doing?â
âEhâŠâŠyou could have gone ahead before me.â
âIt is only natural to wait for your companions. It would not be goodâŠâŠ.to leave one out of the group.â
âCompanionâŠâŠfriendsâŠâŠtogetherâŠâŠâ
âIndeed~. TogetherâŠâŠright?â
âOh, sure. Thanksâ
I really appreciate the moving sentimentâŠâŠ.but since I already told you to go on ahead, I really wish youâd head out and let me change my clothes aloneâŠâŠ.! You already finished changing your own clothes before I got hereâŠâŠ.and does the, âWeâll wait for you,â apply for people changing clothes?
The entire reason why I waited to enter was because I hate being crowdedâŠâŠ
And Saki? Why are your eyes shining like that? Ulterior motivesâŠâŠ.? What kind of thoughts are you letting roam around in your little head?Â
It was currently right before physical education. I feel kind of embarrassed changing my clothes with everyone else around, so I killed a little time while waiting for everyone else to finish upâŠâŠbut my wonderful friends have killed that plan.Â
âOh, unless, you were messing around in the bathroom before a round of strenuous exerciseâŠâŠ.PuhuhuhuâŠâŠ.I guess you are at that age where youâŠ.Ouchy! It really hurts!â
âEnough with the off-color humor!â
What is with this air-headed sexual harassment girlâŠâŠno, I knew Honoka was this type of person from the very beginningâŠ..although the level of sexual harassment is a few grades higher than the last time.Â
And yet, I can only ever respond to her like Iâm the straight-man in a comedy duo. I give an exaggerated response, but I never punish her for anything sheâs said beyond the occasional karate chop to the head. Iâm very weak against girls.Â
Meanwhile Ranko, who had been quietly standing to the side and frowning at our exchange, opened her mouth.Â
âYuriha, doing that kind of thing at schoolâŠ..I donât want to say anything about other peopleâs hobbies, but it is off-putting.â
âI didnât! Did you seriously believe her!?â
A critical hit against my reputation! Itâs okay because there arenât any other of our classmates around here, butâŠâŠ!
âWhatâs up Yuuâ? Youâre giving me a weird lookââ
âNo, I was just thinking I need to keep an eye on you Honoka before you say something elseâŠâŠ.â
âKeep an eye on me? Like youâll be watching me? Youâre going to watch me while I change my clothes? Oh my~â
âEnough alreadyâŠâŠ.â
This has already taken up a lot of our time, so I decided to let that last one slide. I canât afford to be late for class.Â
Which means, I canât keep standing leisurely around like this. I moved to the far back of the changing room and tried changing my clothes as fast as I could, but Yuzuriha pulled on the end of my shirt before I could leave. She rose up on her tiptoes to whisper into my ear. Cute.Â
âYurihaâs menstruationâŠconstipationâŠâŠ? Are you all right?â
âNo no, nothing of the sort. I never visited the bathroom to begin with. Thanks for worrying though.â
Yes yes. If someone runs off for seemingly no reason for as long as I was gone, that is the kind of worry that would come to mind. Honokaâs sexual harassment is whatâs out of the ordinary here.Â
âEhâŠâŠyou mean Yuu, you were doing it somewhere other than in the bathroomâŠâŠ..? Oh my~, so pervertedâ
âWill you drop it already!?â
Jesus, Iâm just going to change my clothes in silence.
