Chapter 120: CH 119

A day is not a unit of numbers, but a quick experience.

And today was Saturday, same day as the pool cleaning, which the president earlier told about, and I had thought it to be still six more days away.

As usual, the sky was beautifully clear.

Maybe I’m a ‘sun’ person.

Such unimportant information occupied my, Shinra Minato-kun’s head.

It’s early in the morning and it feels chilly, but it’ll be warmer by noon, and maybe the pool will be opened earlier.

I slung the shoulder bag containing my change of clothes that I had prepared yesterday over my shoulder and waited for my companion at the entrance.

To pass time, I was playing my shoes, when my sister came running in.

“Sorry to keep you waiting!”

“Let’s go…”

Today was Saturday, a day off from school, and we won’t normally be wearing uniforms.

Because the school was different, Kaede, who would have trouble wearing it, changed into her summer uniform, while I stayed in my uniform.

The first thing president told me was that the council members should wear their uniforms to school no matter whether it’s a holiday or not.

No matter how much of a rule it is, I don’t like the idea of wearing my uniform on a holiday.

I feel like I’ve become a corporate slave…

The council members must wear uniforms to school.

I’m not sure if it was the president who decided this.

If so, let’s play a prank on her, let’s lower her chair sometime later.

With a childish ambition and determined heart, I walked alongside Kaede through the quiet residential area.

It was a little early in the day, so even on a holiday, there were only a few children out and about, which made me feel refreshed.

But for some reason I could feel negative ions coming from behind.

On the way, I met up with Shizuku and then with Yuuto.

At the end, we even met up with Kirasaka, and before we knew it, we had formed a group of our own.

Normally, we don’t go to school together like this, but today we were going to school on a holiday as part of a student council activity.

I can understand why you’d want to go to school with a student council member.

But even if I arrived at the school earlier, I wouldn’t know where to wait.

Anyway, when was the last time the five of us walked together like this on a holiday?

As far as I can remember, it was out trip to the amusement park, wasn’t it?

It wasn’t that too long ago, but it felt like a distant memory.

Perception of time is really vague, huh.

While I feel that the past month or so has been an incredibly long time, the people around me may feel that it has only been a moment.

The point is that the importance and intensity of each day is different.

An event that was new to me and left a vivid impression on my memory may be an everyday thing to those around me.

However, for me, the relationships around me have changed more than any other time in my life.

I went from a ‘day to day routine’ to a ‘day to day routine with problems.’

That’s probably why each day feels so long.

I wonder if the fact that the five of us, including my sister, can walk together like this now is because of us not making any mistakes in our choices until now.

No one can give us the answer.　

No one can tell you the answer to such a question, because no one knows the answer.

Only your future self will know.

I can look at myself in the past and say that I made the wrong choice.

…is what I was thinking about while walking at the end.

The outdoor pool of Sakuranooka Academy is located near the school grounds.

The fencing and the green cloth are designed to make it difficult to peek inside.

There were no students in the schoolyard today, so there was no need to worry about it, but it still gave me a sense of comfort not have to worry about being seen.

I wore only a trunks-type swimsuit underneath, and on top I prepared some old clothes that I didn’t mind throwing away.

Yuuto was dressed the same and was waiting for the girls to come out.

“Do you think the girls are going to dress similarly?”

“…Well, I guess it’s all the same at first.”

As I was playing around with a cleaning brush in my hand, wandering around aimlessly, a few people walked up from behind.

“Good morning!” (Ohayo Gosaimasu!)

“G-good morning!”

“…Oh, good morning.”

It was Koizumi and Hino-kun, not the girls, who walked in through the entrance on the school building side.

Seeing the disappointed Yuuto beside me, I returned their greeting, thinking he was an idiot.

Both Koizumi and Hino-kun were dressed no differently than us.

The only difference was that Koizumi was wearing a pitch-black trunks and black T-shirt, while Hino-kun was wearing a monochromatic red top and bottom.

I’m wearing a light blue trunks and a plain white shirt, so I guess it’s fine.

Yuuto is also a gray trunks and a vermilion shirt.

I knew about Hino-kun’s habit of adding “su” to the end of words, so I wondered if it would be going to be “ohayo gozaimasu-su” instead “ohayo gozaimasu”.

…it’s not gonna be “Ohayo gosaimasu-su,” is it?

Unlike me, who had his hand on his chin and looked at Hino-kun with a pondering face, Koizumi had begun preparing equipment so that the cleaning proceeds smoothly.

As I approached to help him, I noticed that Hino-kun, who was standing next to Koizumi, was looking around busily.

“What are you doing…?”

I suddenly called out to him, and he straightened his curled back.

“Now, I’m nervous when I think that the girls and goddess Kaede, will be here…”

This boy still worships Kaede?

You can tell that he is a devout believer when he says that she is a goddess.

No, my sister didn’t do anything, did she?

I found myself becoming a believer of Hino-kun’s proclaimed goddess.

Goddess Kaede or …a goddess who seems to spoil me somehow, so it isn’t a bad idea.

For that matter, my position among the believers would be the highest.

It’s called a big brother compensation.

In other words, I’m practically number one.

I think we could be at the top of the organization.

…or not.

It’s funny that I could think about being number one with only Hino-kun and I.

At any rate, Hino-kun, who worships Kaede to the point of being a goddess, didn’t seem to be thinking about preparations and was making himself presentable.

The reason Koizumi didn’t say anything is because he knew the outcome.

He knew that Hino-kun was not going to be much of an asset.

He let out a sigh and beckoned to Yuuto, then began to prepare the tools.

I drained the water from the pool, poured in the special detergent, and waited a bit.

This is where the real work begins.

I will have to brush off the dirt with my back and feet, aching.

I noticed the entrance getting noisy as I was trying to take a rest until the ladies joined, before starting the work.

“Sorry I’m late, it took me longer than expected to get ready.”

“No…”

I couldn’t help but look away from the women walking by the pool with the President in the lead.

If I may say so myself, the level of female students this time is very high.

Shizuku and Kirasaka compete for first place in the second grade with president at the top.

There’s also Kaede, from the Shinra family, and Miura, the treasurer.

Miura is modest and doesn’t stand out, but she is surprisingly popular among boys.

I wonder if the boys are attracted to her intellectualism or her ability to do her job.

When these women came into the pool, all the boys stopped moving.

It might be more accurate to say that they gasped for breath.

The fact that they were dressed in swimsuits brought out the best in them, even more than usual.

In all honesty, this is a situation that any male student would envy.

H-however …I found something I had to say.

I looked at the inevitable and resolved myself.

“President …why that swimsuit?”

There was a girl there wearing a swimsuit that stood out too much.
