It was a small sandy beach sandwiched between rocks on both sides.
“Beautiful! There’s such a pretty beach here!”
Touko-senpai went down to the beach with a small leap, as if she was a different person from her normal demeanor.
I followed right behind her.
“The sea water is so beautiful. The water is so clear all the way down to the bottom.”
“I heard that this beach has always been ranked AA, the highest level, in the water quality survey conducted by the Ministry of the Environment.”
Touko-senpai looks back at me.
“Have you been here before, Isshiki-kun?”
“No, it’s my first time here too.”
“It’s my first time too. I’ve never been here before either. I didn’t know there were good places in the neighborhood.”
“Yes, it is. I heard that this is the northern limit of coral and you can see coral when snorkeling. There are also a lot of fish here, and it’s also a good diving spot.”
“There are small fish here, too. See?”
Touko-senpai said and pointed.
I stepped over the rock and went nearer to Toko-senpai.
Indeed, there were many small fish swimming in the small tide pool.
“Oh, there’s a bunch of little fish over here and there’s some kind of big tropical fish over here.”
“Where are they?”
“Here, over here.”
Just as Touko was about to climb up to the top of the stair-shaped rock.
“Ah.”
She slipped and let out a small scream.
In a panic, I grabbed Touko-senpai from the front and supported her.
However, along with her, one of my feet also fell into the sea.
At the same time, my phone made a small “beeping” sound.
“Oh, thank you.”
Touko-senpai said with a surprised look.
I”No, I’m glad you didn’t fall. It’s a rocky place, and if you had fallen, you might have gotten hurt.”
“But it’s not just me, you got your feet wet too.”
“It’s okay, it’s just this.”
When I said that, I noticed that Touuko’s face was very close to mine.
She was less than 30 centimeters away.
In addition, I was holding her by the upper arms with both hands as if to embrace her.
Toko-senpai seemed to have noticed the position.
She turned her gaze away from me and said.
“You were taking pictures just now, weren’t you?”
“Oh, yeah, I remember that.”
There was indeed the sound of a smartphone shutter.
“You didn’t have to take pictures all the way down here.”
She looked somewhat embarrassed.
“No, I didn’t do that on purpose.”
Touko senpai looked at me.
Iu can see my reflection in her dark green eyes.
I’m sure that my eyes are also reflecting Touko-senpai’s right now.
She smiled slyly.
“Let’s get out of here. If we don’t, we’ll get more wet from the waves.”
I nodded silently and pulled her hand back towards the beach.
TL : It was a quite pain to translate names of the all place i know no jack about.
