“
Rin, I think this is a good idea. Summer is the season to win.”
“Well, that’s
 tough. The covered area is too small
 “
“
Just so you know, you don’t have to dress like a diver.”
“I know, I won’t choose something like that! But if you wear a swimsuit that you’re confident in
 won’t that draw attention to you?”
“
There’s no way that you won’t draw any attention. Look at yourself in the mirror and see what you look like.”
“Well
 I’m not too confident 
I couldn’t wear my swimsuit at Towa-kun’s house a while ago 
So I wonder if I’ve gained weight
 “
“
Guilty. Though it feels insulting to me, when Rin says it, it sounds like bragging.”
“What? That’s not what I meant
?”
“
Be confident. If you can’t, I’ll choose it.”
“Stop! Please don’t touch me in strange places!”
An interesting conversation is happening between the girls.
I know I shouldn’t listen to it, but it naturally comes into my ears.

Honestly, I think my nose might start bleeding.
“
Kenichi, tell me. What am I supposed to do?”
“Well, just wait and see. She’ll pick out a bathing suit and try it on. Until then, just wait.”
“My mind can’t take it
”
I can hear Kenichi sighing as he sits beside me.
As I sat in my chair, I tried not to look up, trying to keep the poisonous sight out of my sight.
Even though I was only accompanying her, I felt like my life was being reduced.
“How can Kenichi be so unconcerned about this? Don’t you think it’s at least a little difficult to look at?”
“No, not at all. Rather, this environment is too good to be true? It’s usually the best.”
“It’s somewhat refreshing
”
“I don’t know, I think you’re too conscious Towa. You should be proudly compliment her on her swimsuit when she comes back. That’s all a man can do.”
“Compliment
”
Compliment her on her swimsuit.
That is a moderately high hurdle.
You could just say ‘it’s cute’ and ‘it looks good’, but
 is that all right?
In today’s world, just the act of complimenting someone’s appearance can be considered sexual harassment.
Consequently I can imagine that me complementing Rin could fall under that.

So the best strategy is to choose words that are not sexual and give compliments.
Yeah, it’s usually difficult.
Should I compliment her on the material of her swimsuit or the design?
“Hey
 Towa~. Are you alive?”
“Yeah? What’s with you all of a sudden?”
I look at up at Kenichi as he holds up his hand in front of me with worried eyes.
When Kenichi’s eyes met mine, he sighed in exasperation.
“Are you thinking about something unfortunate again?”
“I’m trying to figure out how to compliment her properly.”
“Hmmm
 And how did that work out for you?”
“For now, I’ll just admire your swimsuit.”
“Swimsuit? Not in a bathing suit?”
“Ah, of course.”
This time, Kenichi sighed loudly, and held his head.
He seemed discouraged and dumbfounded
, at least to me.
“
Okay. Towa, you don’t have to think about this so hard anymore
 Just tell her what you think frankly. It’s probably better that way
”
“Is that how it works?”
“In your case, Towa.”
“What’s are you implying
 Well, if the handsome guy says so, I’ll do it.”
Kenichi shrugged his shoulders.
Then he put his hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Good luck’.
I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but I respond with a short, ‘yeah’.
Still, choosing a swimsuit is a long process

When is it—
“
Kenichi, are you ready?”
“Whoa! You’re ready! Ready when you are.”
He taps me on the shoulder and urges me to go towards the fitting room.
When I was reluctant to go, Kenichi pulled me along and forced me to go with him.
When I came to the front of the fitting room, there was a strange tension there, and I felt an urgent impatience that made my throat parched.
‘Complimenting women.’
But the act of doing so suddenly seems difficult.
What should I say to her
?

I was told to give my honest opinion.
I still can’t think of anything to say

“Kotone-chan
 Do you really come out like this? After all, even on the day of the pool
”
“
 What are you scared of now? Show me early. “
“Uh
 if it doesn’t work
”
“
I’ll think about it again, so don’t worry.”
“Okay
”

I can hear their conversation.
In this situation, if I couldn’t say anything when I saw Rin’s swimsuit
 it would definitely hurt her.
I looked at the handsome man grinning beside me, and he slapped me on the back as if to say, ‘You don’t have to tell me, do you?’
“But it’s still
”
“Just go to
”
Rin stumbled out of the fitting room as if she were being kicked out.
When our eyes met, Rin’s cheeks flushed as she smiled.
She folded his hands behind his back and squirmed.
Her usual calm demeanor was gone, and she looked really fragile.
But
 ‘The Advent of the Goddess’.
It was a figure that I fell in love with.
Rin is wearing a monochromatic floral print two-piece swimsuit with a long frill design that makes it look like clothing.
Longer frills are sometimes used to hide one’s figure, but in Rin’s case, they seemed to emphasize it more.
“Towa-kun 
 how is it?”
“
Beautiful
”
I couldn’t put together any witty words.
I should have said, ‘It suit’s you’ but I couldn’t find the words.
I just whispered ‘beautiful’ honestly and unconsciously.
I hurriedly tried to rephrase myself.
“Rin, that swimsuit
”
“That 
 that 
 excuse me!”
Before I could say anything else, she hid in the fitting room, which was closed to men.
Crap, did I make a mistake?
What should I do later?
“Oh, that’s what’s going to happen. Well, I guess I did my best.”
“
 Rin, I’m glad.”
“Hey Kenichi. I’ve done it
”
I was taught well and yet I made this mistake.
Kenichi and Fuji-san also looked at me, and their eyes twitched.
It’s like they’re saying, ‘Seriously, this guy’
“”
Hah.””
“Why are you both sighing at the same time?!”
“Well, it can’t be helped
 This is Towa.”
“It’s hard for people who don’t have enough experience
”
Damn, what’s with the warm look?
Ten minutes later, Rin came out of the fitting room as if nothing had happened
 For some reason, both of her cheeks were as red as if she had smacked them.
