Seia fell into the water!! - 18
Seia was lying down.
Â
Normally, she would be lying on her bed, but this time it was different.
Â
Since the air conditioner in Seia's room didn't directly reach her bed, she was lying on the floor, even if it looked a bit strange.
Â
"...!"
'It's so, so hot...!'
Â
Seia's room was much larger than a typical room, so a single air conditioner wasn't enough to cool it down sufficiently.
Â
On top of that, Seia's animal ears made it difficult for her body heat to dissipate, creating the worst possible synergy.
Â
'What kind of May is this? Wasn't May supposed to be a refreshing spring season...?'
Â
Even though it was only May, Seia had no choice but to succumb to the relentless sun beating down on her room.
Â
But did succumbing change anything? She could only squirm in the still-terrible heat.
Â
"...! ...!!"
'I-I'm going to melt away... I might just become a pile of clothes left in the room...'
Â
While she was lost in these trivial thoughts that others might laugh at, someone came to visit Seia's room.
Â
Knock, knock!
Â
"Seia-chan! Are you in there?"
Â
"?!"
'Mi-Mika?!'
Â
Wha-what is she planning to do this time...?
Â
That thought crossed her mind, but Mika was still one of Seia's few friends.
Â
'It's not like Mika-chan's pranks are unpleasant... Hmm... In fact, do I enjoy them?'
Â
After pondering for a moment, Seia made a cute "Chop!" sound and sat up, opening the door.
Â
Click- Clack!
Â
Sway, sway-
Â
"Ahaha☆ Seia-chan's room is cool! What temperature did you set the air conditioner to? Wait, let me guess."
Â
"..."
Â
"Hmm... 18 degrees! Right?"
Â
Nod, nod-
Â
"Wow! I guessed it☆ I knew Seia-chan would have it set like that! Oh, right! That's not what I came to talk about."
Â
Mika, who had been excitedly breaking the ice, realized what she had come to say when she saw Seia's bewildered expression.
Â
"Seia-chan! Let's go to the beach!"
Â
"...???"
'Wh-what? Go where? The beach?'
Â
"I already got Nagi-chan's permission... Swimming is the best in this weather!"
Â
"..."
Â
Going to the beach in May might seem strange at first glance.
Â
'But the weather is 30 degrees right now...!'
Â
Honestly, the weather wasn't exactly sane for May...
Â
And Seia personally wanted to see Mika's swimsuit, so she accepted Mika's suggestion.
Â
Nod, nod-
Â
"Wow! Great, great! Let's go, Seia-chan!"
Â
Seia and Mika probably wouldn't know for the rest of their lives
Â
'Hehe... Mika-chan's swimsuit... I'm looking forward to it.'
'Ahaha☆ I wonder how cute Seia-chan's swimsuit will be?'
Â
That they were both thinking the same thing.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â

* * *
Â
Â
Â
"Wow☆ It's the beach! Nagi-chan, you're excited too, right?"
Â
"Yes. Honestly, it feels strange to come to the beach in May."
Â
"But thanks to this, we get to see this sight, right? Hehe."
Â
What Mika was pointing at was probably me.
Â
After all, it was just the three of us at the beach.
Â
I don't know how they managed it, but there was no one else at the beach.
Â
'D-don't tell me they just rented out the entire beach using the Tea Party's power?!'
Â
Thinking that couldn't be true, I first picked up one of the tubes that were laid out.
Â
A small yellow tube. It looked quite cute, but it was the perfect size for me.
Â
'Hum~ Hum~ Hum~'
Â
"Ahaha☆ Look over there, Nagi-chan! Isn't she cute?"
Â
"Yes. I definitely want to take a picture of Seia-san's swimsuit and tube."
Â
"It's so frilly and cute~!"
Â
The swimsuit I was wearing was a frilly yellow one.
Â
It might have been a little revealing... but my usual clothes are like that too, so wouldn't it be fine?
Â
"Seia-chan~ Let's get in the water now!"
Â
"...!"
'Finally, the water...!'
Â
Nod, nod-
Â
Getting into the water... I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Â
That's why I grabbed the tube and was holding Mika's hand so tightly...
Â
It's definitely not because I'm scared...! It's just because I can't swim...!
Â
'If water gets in my ears... Yikes...! I'm already scared just thinking about it...!'
Â
I think I can understand why cats hate water to some extent.
Â
Â
"Seia-san... Are you perhaps scared?"
Â
"...!!!"
Â
Shake, shake!-
Â
Nagisa's words pricked my pride. I immediately shook my head and ran into the water.
Â
Splash!-
Â
Â
With a huge splash, I walked into the water...
Â
"...!!? ...!!"
Â
The tube flipped over...!
Â
"...Mika-san. It seems Seia-san has fallen into the water."
Â
"Huh...? The water is barely 2 meters deep here...?"
Â
"That's true, but... look over there."
Â
Where Nagisa pointed, I was struggling in the water.
Â
"Oh no?! I'll save you, Seia-chan!!"
Â
Splash!-
Â
Mika pushed through the water and quickly lifted me up, and I became like a soaked mouse.
Â
Â
Â
'Ugh... Ughhh... I feel like water has filled my entire body...'
Â
I decided that, based on this experience, I wouldn't let my pride get the better of me again.
