And so it was decided that weâre going to the pool for the next fun festival.
Of course, both me and Misaki didnât have our own swimsuits.
Thatâs why today, Iâm going to buy swimsuits.
First I bought my own swimsuit, and then when I was about to buy a swimsuit for Misaki, I immediately regretted my own decision.
âŚâŚJust why, why didnât I bring her along.
I want to punch myself for leaving Misaki alone at home because I want to give it to her like a surprise present.
âŚâŚAlright which one, which one would be perfect for Misaki? Well for now I only know that Misakiâs smallâŚâŚ But I donât know a damn thing about her three-sizes.
The word swimsuit has many types of its own. Appearance-wise thereâs the one-piece type one and also the one that separate between top and bottom parts. If you also consider its patterns and designs itâll make you faint on the spot. In fact, right now Iâm walking around in the childrenâs swimsuit corner looking left and right. And my eyes met with nearby small bikini for adults, but yup thereâs no way Iâll let Misaki wear these.
Red, blue, white, black, yellow, pink, polka dots, striped, flowersâŚâŚ Dammit, which one would be best for her!?
And while Iâm worrying about what to do, I heard an extremely hyper female clerk voice.
âHeyăź yaăź! Are ya lookinâ for swimsuit?â
âYes, thatâs right.â
âYou see, customer-san your voice is kinda deep isnât it. Are you often mistaken as a male?â
âEven if Iâm mistaken Iâm still a male anyway.â
ââŚâŚâ
ââŚâŚâ
Whatâs with this atmosphere.
âYa, haha, I see. Well, I ended up thinking that youâre a woman at first silly me ahahaha.â
Aside from my face you should already be able to tell that Iâm not a woman just from my clothes and physique dammit.
âUmmmmâŚâŚ uh, is this for your own use?â
âNo way in hell. Iâm thinking about what to buy for Misaki.â
âIs that your girl?â1
Well since Iâm looking at swimsuits for woman right now so of course sheâs a girl.
âYeah, thatâs right.â
âWoah, nii-san youâre pretty awesome! Giving a swimsuit as a present, thatâs totally slick isnât it!â
âYou think so? âŚâŚOh yeah right, youâre just in time. Can you help me looking for a good swimsuit please.â
âGot it. Do you know her three sizes?â
âI donât really know but, her height is about half of mine.â
âEh, halfâŚâŚ Ahhhh, so for your dakimura?â 2
Is this clerk looking for a fight with me or something.
âFor my daughter.â
ââŚâŚI just remembered! Youâre the same nii-san that bought futons from half a year ago!â
FutonâŚâŚ Ahh I remembered that. So sheâs that rowdy clerk from that time huh.
âWell, itâs all thanks to nii-san buying those futons that I got promoted. My hourly wage has gone up for about 100 yen.â
âI see, Iâm glad for you then.â
âYes. Seriously on the first floor thereâs no people visiting at all so theyâre so boringâŚâŚ By the way, Iâve heard that if youâve been promoted to the third floor your hourly wage will go up for another two hundred yen, so please think of it as helping my wallet situation, and please buy a lot this time too.â
âI donât need more than one set of this thing anyway.â
âAhah, Iăź canâtăź hearăź youăź â
Although I havenât met her for half a year, but sheâs still very hyper as ever.
Sheâs truly annoying but, this sheâs also a true connoisseur at heart. Misaki loved that pillow I bought for her at that time.
âNii-san you donât have any female friends or something?â
âI wonât give a swimsuit as a present for a girl I know.â
Thatâs completely perverted isnât it. If the roles were to be switched and I got shorts as a present, well Iâd say that itâd be kinda awkward to wear that.
âIs that so? Iâm still an active JK3, Iâll let you know that we normally send underwear as birthday presents you know?â
âAre you kidding me?â
âIâm serious.â
ââŚâŚWell, you and your friend are in the same gender, so yeah I guess you can do that but.â
âI also did that with my male friends.â
ââŚâŚSeriously?â
âSeriously.â
I see, so right now things are like that huh.
But still I donât even have someone close to me that I wanted to give a present toâŚâŚ Ah, thereâs Kohinata-san.
âWell, what about now? You donât have any at all?â
âThere is, one person.â
âOhăź, thatâs great! Um, so what kind of person is she? A boing boing person?â (Big boobs)
âNo, I think it was on a smaller side. Her height is about one hundred and fifty I think?â (Centimeters)
âI see I see. What about her age?â
âAround twenty give or take I guess?â
âI shee I shee. I got it all now! Please leave it to me!â
And so, I bought two set of swimsuits and a sunscreen.
I feel like the swimsuits are kinda a bit expensive butâŚâŚ Well, letâs not mind it.
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
âThanks for your purchaseăź!â
With an energetic voice behind me, I leave the swimsuit area.
And then, over there.
âUgh.â
âYou act like that as soon as you see a personâs face? As I thought youâre a rude person.â
The world is so small, thatâs what I thought at that moment.
âYouâre from the femaleâs swimsuit areaâŚâŚ So you have that kind of hobby I see.â
âThatâs not it, Iâve come to buy a swimsuit for Misaki thatâs all.â
âHehăź, for Misaki-chan, is it.â
Why the hell is she looking at me with those doubtful eyes.
âThe same goes to you why do you even come here anyway.â
âIâm here to buy a swimsuit for Yui.â
âFor yourself?â
âFor my daughter obviously. If youâre at my age and still referring yourself with your own name, thatâs just too lame.â
Just whatâs this sprinting-full-speed-through-the-whole-damn-town-at-noon-wearing-a-dress-person talking about.
âYou come here to buy swimsuit which meansâŚâŚ They didnât held this kind of event last year?â
âNo, itâs just that the last yearâs swimsuit wonât fit her anymore. Well as long as sheâs growing up healthily Iâm happy all the same.â
That reminded me, Yui-chan is kinda tall. Well I only have Misaki for comparison though.
âSo, youâre not going to attend again as usual?â
âIf youâre talking about the pool then, yes.â
âCanât you just like take at least a day off?â
âIf I can do that then Iâll do it.â
Thereâs no delay between each of her replies at all. For me, I kinda hate that a little bit.
âWhatâs the reason for you to work that hard.â
âItâs for my daughter.â
âItâll make her sad that way.â
âI already know that.â
âThen-â
âBut for that girlâs sake, money is necessary.â
I unconsciously shut my mouth.
Well because itâs a reason thatâs so simple to understand after all. She has to raise her daughter all by herself, and for that to go smoothly she needs money.
âBut still, maybe you can just take a day off.â
âAnd by a day off that you said, just how many a day off would you take in one year.â
âWhat?â
âA human whom you doesnât know when sheâll be absence again, just who on earth would want to work with a person like that?â
This time I lost all of my words for real. Itâs because I completely understand everything she had said thus far. But still, I canât put myself to accept that.
âSo once again, please take care of Yui.â
She lightly bows her head, then walks inside the swimsuit area. And me, I can only watch her back getting farther and seeing her off.
Well thatâs a matter of course.
Iâm sure she thinking about the same thing, the same thing that Iâm thinking about. But still when she already said that much, how do you even retort to that anyway.
Of course. Thatâs a thing that anyone and everyone understand it wholly.
But surely the reason I canât put myself to accept that.
