Rin sits in front of me and stares at me with a serious face.
Rin was no longer in my jersey, as Lisa-san had sent her some casual clothes. She is wearing a white dress with cute shoulder cuffs.
I had a hard time keeping my eyes on her as she was sitting on the floor dressed like that.
âDonât you have a bathing suit?â
âNo, I mean, I do, but itâs notâŠâ
âIf so, then you donât need to buy one.â
Swimsuits are surprisingly expensive.
I wonder why something that is just a piece of cloth on a naked body is so expensive.
So, if you have one, I donât think you need to buy another.
And money should be saved.
I stood tall and looked at Rin.
Rin blushed, looking embarrassed for some reason.
âŠHuh? Whatâs with that reaction?
âOkay. If Towa-kun says so⊠Letâs go with that.â
âFor reference, when did you get that swimsuit?â
âItâs the swimsuit I used in class when I was in junior high school.â
âCome again?â
I didnât think it was a school swimsuitâŠ!
The current Rin wearing a middle school swimsuit?
There are so many things wrong with thatâŠ
The combination of that swimsuit on a mature goddess would be too âŠimmoral.
Rather, why would you hold on to that�
âIf thatâs what Towa-kun wants⊠Iâll do my best with that swimsuit! Please leave it to me!â
âHow could it be! Please reconsider, Rin is a high school student and so many things are wrong with that!â
âReally⊠is that so?â
âAh, letâs not do that. That should be disposed of immediately.â
Rin also realized the danger of the swimsuit and turned to stare at it.
Thatâll do for now.
âSurely, itâs a problem if the size doesnât fit. So Iâll try to squeeze in it.â
âHuh? Hey, wait a minute!!â
I reached out to stop Rin, but she ducked and ran straight to the bathroom.
I sat up to leave, but I heard a voice say, âTowa-kun, please wait a moment. The one who suggested it should be responsible for the outcome,â and had to wait reluctantly.
â5 minutes later
These five minutes felt longer than 365 days.
Now, in the washroom, the goddess is about to reveal her divine form.
Iâm not sure if I want to see it or notâŠ
No, of course I want to see it.
Though, I should still my mind in preparation for it.
Namuami⊠(TL Note: Calling out to the Buddha)
âTowa-kun⊠I just realized something unfortunateâŠâ
âYeah?â
âPlease help.â
âWhatâs wrong!?â
I fearfully head into the bathroom.
The goddess who was sitting with her back to me, turned to look at me with tears in her eyes.
Her white skin is visible through her swimsuit, and her waist is tucked in.
She looks more curvaceous because sheâs wearing a small swimsuit.
The only saving grace would is that I can only see her from behind.
If this had been the front⊠I would have been in trouble.
âMy swimsuit is painful because Iâve gained weight⊠What a messâŠâ
âNo, thatâs ⊠I think itâs different âŠ?â
The Goddess says sheâs gained weight, but⊠itâs unlikely.
Itâs just that the swimsuit is small in the first placeâŠ
If Rin were fat, almost everyone on the planet would be classified as âfatâ.
âI was so frustrated that I couldnât fit it⊠and I got stubborn and tried to wear it anywaysâŠâ
âThis has become such a mess.â
âItâs my fault.â
âHuh⊠is there something you want to do to me?â
âIt would be helpful if you could take the swimsuit off my shoulders. I canât get my hands around it right now and the tightness is starting to hurtsâŠ
âAre you going to sue me for sexual harassment?â
âI wont!â
I pull Rinâs swimsuit off her shoulders, trying to avoid touching her skin.
Then, as soon as my job was over, I ran away from the scene.
âŠYeah, no more.
âââ
âDo you have a bathing suit, Towa-kun?â
A few minutes after the incident with the school swimsuit, she started talking to me with a clear expression as if nothing had happened.
I noticed that her ears were slightly red, which was only because Rin and I had known each other for a long time.
âŠWell, embarrassing to admit, isnât it?
âI donât have one⊠I didnât have a chance to go to the pool outside of class.â
âItâs the same for me.â
âI didnât think we had that in common. I thought you were invited to go to the pool or the beach or something.â
âI refused to go to all of them because I knew Itâd be troublesome to go.â
âOh, I see.â
Iâm sure it must be because she wary of being hit on.
Itâs not hard to imagine.
If you see a goddess in the pool or ocean, youâll want to talk to herâŠ
âWhich means, for now, neither of us knows anything about swimsuits, right?â
âThatâs right.â
âIs it safe for two people like that to go shopping? I mean, itâs hard to wait when choosing a swimsuitâŠâ
Waiting in a place filled with womenâs swimwear.
âŠThatâs just torture.
If youâre a boy, shopping will end quickly, but girls take more timeâŠ
Itâs too painful to accompany you all the timeâŠ
âThereâs no problem with that. Kotone-chan and Kato-san will be there, and theyâll be able to give us advice if we need it.â
âAh, youâve already spoken to her ⊠youâre quick to act.â
âNow you can choose perfectly, Towa-kun.â
âHahaha, thank you for your painful considerationâŠâ
The escape route I tried to casually take was easily blocked.
Well, if Kenichi is here, I can talk to him while I waitâŠ
âLetâs head out then. We canât keep them waiting.â
âWhat? Weâre going to âŠnow?â
âOf course. Strike while the iron is hot.â
âHuh⊠Seriously?â
I put my hand on my forehead and dropped my shoulders.
I tried to say no, but a futile flow was createdâŠ
Damn you, Kenichi.
Doing all these useless thingsâŠ
I sighed at Rin, who from the doorway was beckoning me to hurry up.
TL Note: Sorry for the long break between chapters I had some loose ends to tie up before I start university in the fall. I should be releasing 4 chapter today if everything goes according to plan, so stay tuned for that.
