“Yes! We won!” (Kei)
While the whistle announces the last volleyball game in PE is at an end, I decide to take a ‘guts pose.’
As Kaori said, after I started playing, I forgot all about not feeling good.
Even though the game has ended, I still don’t feel bad and that is a good thing.
Even so...
I feel like someone is staring at me, so I look around.
Oh, it’s Takimoto, the brown haired girl in the cla.s.s next to ours that takes PE with us.
She’s one of the girl’s that came to the changing room. It shocked me when she confessed that she liked me when I was still a boy. I noticed her looking at me now and again in PE every once in a while since then, but I haven’t talked to her since that day.
Although, today her look is a little different. I feel like her look is a little heated. Saeki, one of the black haired girls from the changing room incident, is standing behind her, expressionless as usual.
“Kei, you might be tiny, but you can fly.” (Michiru)
It’s a girl from the opposing team who played the last game against us, Michiru Kusaka.
She patted my head, while saying I can fly.
“Don’t do that!” (Kei)
While pushing her hand off my head, I have to look up at her to glare up at her, since she is slightly taller than I am.
She was the shortest person in the cla.s.s until I showed up. Maybe she is patting me because I’m shorter than she is.
“Why? A little isn’t good enough.” (Michiru)
“It"s already a little over. ......Please, do something about her.” (Kei)
I turn to look at Makoto, who is standing next to me, without actually expecting her to do anything. While I’m doing that, Michiru reaches out to pat my head again.
Halfway giving up, I don’t move to avoid it either.
“It’s all good. It"s not as if it can hurt you.” (Makoto)
“...What if I get shorter from the pressure of her petting me?” (Kei)
When I say that her hand suddenly stops and she taps her chin with a finger, thinking.
Although I had thought she understood, I notice I made a huge mistake a moment later.
The pressure on my head suddenly increased.
“You might be even cuter if you are smaller.” (Michiru)
“So stop doing it!” (Kei)
Once again, I pushed off Michiru’s hand off my head. Although, this time I immediately flee to hide behind Kaori.
“Here do it to her instead of me!” (Kei)
As I said that, I pushed Kaori toward Michiru as a replacement for me.
“Hey! ...Hey now!” (Kaori)
Maybe I pushed Kaori toward her a little too enthusiastically vigorously, because Michiru, who it a few cm taller than I am, and Kaori, who is a dozen cm taller than I am, ended up hugging each other.
Michiru wrapped her arms around Kaori, while the surprised Kaori hurriedly grabbed Michiru’s shoulders.
“Oh wow!…This is much better!” (Michiru)
Or I should say it looks as if she is really enjoying the feeling of Kaori"s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
Looking at them side on like this, Kaori"s b.r.e.a.s.t.s are crushed up against Michiru.
“Hey! What do you think you are doing there? Line up!” (Yuzawa)
The teacher calls out to us, scolding us for playing around.
I didn"t know how else to stop Michiru, so I’m fine with this.
“Uh… Right.” (Michiru)
“Aww, why did this…?” (Kaori)
Michiru releases Kaori and begins to line up. Kaori wrinkles her eyebrows while moving to line up.
“It’s okay.” (Kei)
“…This is your fault.” (Kaori)
Kaori yells at me when I pat her shoulder to comfort her.
When PE is over, I head to the teachers dressing room to change clothes. Once I change, I can relax because it’s now lunchtime.
Since lunch already started, the school store will be rather crowded. It was already too late for me to go there by the time I came to change clothes. So that means I can take my time getting changed.
I take off my gym clothes which leaves me in just my underwear. I begin to wipe myself down with a towel, but because I sweated so much, I also take off my underwear to wipe down those areas as well.
Well, it’s fine if I do, since no one else uses this dressing room when I do.
[Gara~][Gara~]
(TN: SFX for something rattling or clattering like a door opening.)
“…I thought…” (Kei)
I said instinctively yanking my head around to look toward the door of the dressing room when I heard it opening.
I’m surprised and uneasy, because the memory of the time I was a.s.saulted flashed through my mind.
Quickly I put on a fresh pair of panties and my short, light blue skirt. Combined with my knee socks, the absolute area is very dazzling. Well, it’s not as if I care about things like that.
“Ah...” (Kei)
The person that opened the door enters the dressing room as I pick up my camisole.
It’s the same person who looked at me heatedly in PE cla.s.s. It’s the same brown-haired girl who confessed to me, Mitsumi Takimoto.
“…What do you want?” (Kei)
I use the camisole in my hand to cover my bra and stare at her while she looks at me.
What is she doing here? I mean, is she alone today? Well, there doesn’t seem to be anyone behind her.
“Well, umm…” (Mitsumi)
While my heart is pounding, I look at Takimoto, but there is no sign that she will begin talking as she is just standing there fidgeting.
I’m not saying anything and she doesn’t seem to be able to talk.
Well, I’m not going to stand here with my bra exposed forever, so I slip on the on camisole I’ve been holding for the time being.
If you have nothing to say to me, why don’t you just leave already?
“If you have no business with me, I’m going to leave.” (Kei)
I tell her after I finished dressing in my long sleeved blouse and stuffing my gym clothes into my bag.
“Uh …Please wait!” (Mitsumi)
She says as I start to leave the dressing room.
“…Yes, what is it?” (Kei)
The exit is behind her, but I unconsciously stop when she talks to me,
“…Well?” (Kei)
I thought she wouldn’t remain silent indefinitely if I prompted her and acted as if I was going to leave. She then looks at me as if she made a decision.
“That is… What you told me before… I’ve come to take, umm… fulfill my responsibilities.” (Mitsumi)
Yes? Responsibility?
Ah. Well, I was joking when I said that.
You shouldn’t have taken me so seriously.
Although, I’m interested in what she means, I decided to listen to her story.
I look at Takimoto, who is still dressed in her gym clothes.
‘Is that so…” (Kei)
So, how do you plan to do that?
“Yes, well… you know, because I stripped you and saw you naked… and that is not fair. Tokiya said I have to fulfill my responsibility.” (Mitsumi)
“Eh?” (Kei)
What’s not fair? That you saw me naked? What? I don’t understand what you mean.
While I’m thinking about what she means, things move forward.
Is Tokiya that expressionless girl?
While I was wonder about that, in front of me Takimoto put her hands on her shorts.
