The Delinquent Shimizu-san Sitting Next to Me Has Dyed Her Hair Black-Chapter 4Volume 3 .2 - Shimizu-san and the Sea

Shimizu-san and the Sea 2

“Oops, I lost my sanity to Mio-chan’s overwhelming cuteness!”

“You’re getting off track. Hondō looks confused.”

“That’s right! Kei wants to be praised by Daiki-kun soon too! So take off that rash guard.”

“Huh?”

“Not ‘huh’! He can’t see the swimsuit underneath if you don’t take off that rash guard!”

Indeed, Shimizu-san was wearing a long rash guard, and it wasn’t clear at a glance whether she was wearing a swimsuit underneath.

“…You know what swimsuit I bought since we went shopping together, so I don’t have to take it off.”

“Daiki-kun was with us at first, but then he went off to buy his own swimsuit, so he doesn’t know what kind of swimsuit Kei bought!”

“…Do I really have to take off the rash guard?”

“Of course! Daiki-kun wants to see Kei’s swimsuit quickly too, right?”

“Um…”

“Hondō-kun is a leg fetishist. So it’s fine as it is.”

“Seto-san!?”

An unexpected statement came out of nowhere.

“Mio-chan, how do you know Daiki-kun is a leg fetishist?”

Why did my preference for legs become common knowledge in the Astronomy Club?

I was curious why Seto-san thought I was a leg fetishist.

“Matsuoka-kun mentioned it before.”

“Toshiya…”

He probably meant no harm, but I’d have to remind him not to spread nonsense around later.

I turned my gaze back to Shimizu-san.

Her beautiful legs stood out even more because the rash guard covered the rest of her body.

Noticing my gaze, Shimizu-san crouched down as if to hide her legs.

“Are you saying any exposed skin is fine with you?!”

There were other people at the beach, so I wished she wouldn’t use such misleading expressions if possible…

“That’s not it! He was looking because they’re Kei’s legs, right?”

Whether I say yes or no, it feels like I could lose something important with this question.

“Is that so, Hondō?”

Being asked with an upward glance made my heart skip a beat.

But my sixth sense was ringing alarm bells that a wrong answer could lead to disaster.

I had to make up my mind.

“… Shimizu-san’s legs are attractive, so I couldn’t help but look at it. I’m sorry.”

All I could do was apologize sincerely.

Shimizu-san glanced at me a few times before slowly standing up.

“W-well, it’s not like I lose anything by being looked at. But if you look at some stranger’s legs, I’ll knock you out…”

“Yeah, got it..”

“Alright, then let’s take off that rash guard quickly!”

“It wasn’t supposed to go like this!”

“It was supposed to. Besides Kei-san, you were the one who said that you don’t lose anything by being looked at. Come on, muster up some courage!”

“Ugh…”

“Do we really need to force her to take off the rash guard?”

Unable to watch any longer, Yousuke-san threw Shimizu-san a lifeline.

“Yousuke, you should think about my swimsuit instead!”

Ai-san smashed that lifeline to pieces.

Meanwhile, my eyes met Shimizu-san’s once again.

“…do you want to see me in my swimsuit?”

Looking closely, Shimizu-san’s cheeks were tinged with a faint blush.

“If you don’t mind it, Shimizu-san.”

I told Shimizu-san without averting my eyes.

After about ten seconds of apparent hesitation, she seemed to make up her mind and quickly took off her rash guard.

“…How is it?”

The swimsuit Shimizu-san was wearing was a navy blue bikini.

Perhaps still feeling embarrassed, Shimizu-san wouldn’t meet my eyes.

I observed her to give my impression. The swimsuit seemed to highlight Shimizu-san’s good figure.

“Daiki-kun, it’s about time you give Kei your impressions.”

I was startled. It seemed I had been staring at Shimizu-san longer than I had thought.

“Shimizu-san, you look really pretty in that swimsuit.”

“… I’ll be mad if you’re lying.”

“I’m not lying. Shimizu-san, the swimsuit brings out a different charm from the usual you. I genuinely think you’re beautiful.”

“No need to go that far!”

It was not just her cheeks. Shimizu-san’s face was now completely red.

“I see. You’re quite something to come up with such natural compliments, Hondō-kun…”

“Stop being impressed and take your turn, Yousuke! What do you think of my swimsuit?”

Come to think of it, the reason I ended up giving my opinion on Shimizu-san’s swimsuit was originally to buy Yousuke-san time to think of compliments for Ai-san.

“…That swimsuit suits you really well and, uh, how to say this.. I think you’re really cute.”

“I-I see… w-well, for Yousuke, that’s already pretty good.”

Ai-san seemed to be struggling to hold back her smile.

“You’re not very honest, huh?”

“W-Wrong! Come on, everyone, let’s go! The sea is waiting for us!”

With that, Ai-san started running towards the sea alone.

“She’s running away.”

“Yeah, Ai-senpai dodged it.”

“Hey, Ai, don’t run! What if you bump into someone?”

We chased after Ai-san, who had run off towards the sea.

“Fuu, we really had a lot of fun!”

“Yeah. My body is already sore…”

After enjoying the beach with beach ball games and swimming, we had come near a beach house to rest.

“Hey, isn’t there a crowd gathering over there?”

Ai-san pointed, and sure enough, there was a small gathering of people.

“Is something going on?”

“I’m not sure. I don’t remember reading about any special events today when I checked earlier.”

“It looks interesting. Let’s go check it out!”

We followed Ai-san towards the crowd.

“Hmm, it seems we have some new guests! The excitement is building!”

At the front of the crowd stood a swimsuit-clad Onee-san holding a microphone.

I didn’t know her, but perhaps this Onee-san was someone famous.

“Ai, is that person famous?”

“Not that I know of.”

If Ai-san didn’t know her, she’s probably not that famous.

I’m not sure if she heard our conversation, but the Onee-san looked our way and smiled.

“Since we have new guests, let me explain again. We are currently hosting a Best Couple Contest sponsored by the beach house! It’s an impromptu event without prior announcement!”

“What?!”

That explains why there was no mention of it when Yousuke-san checked.

It was a sudden event.

“Any couple can participate! Just answer a few questions from me, and the couple that makes my heart flutter the most will win. The prize for the Best Couple Contest is a special dessert voucher that can be used at the beach house and is only valid today!”

“That sounds nice!”

Ai-san’s eyes sparkled even more than usual.

“Hey, Ai, you’re not thinking of…”

“Let’s enter, Yousuke! The special dessert is waiting for us!”

“But we’re not a couple!”

“Nobody here knows that except for us. No one will find out if we keep quiet. Come on, let’s go!”

Ai-san grabbed Yousuke-san’s arm and started to pull him toward the Onee-san.

“Yousuke, just give up. We’ll wait here, so go and make a scene.”

“Kei, why are you talking like it’s none of your business? Kei and Daiki-kun are entering too!”

“Huh?”

“What?”

I feel like Ai-san just said something outrageous.

“Why do I and Hondō have to participate too?”

“Because the more of us there are, the higher our chances of winning, right? I want to eat that special dessert today! I’ll do anything for that!”

Is Ai-san thinking of this as a chance to appeal to Yousuke-san, or does she really want to eat the special dessert that badly?

I hope it’s the former.

“Don’t drag me into this. I’m not going to participate, that’s for sure.”

“Oh, really?”

“What now?”

“Kei, you’re just afraid of losing to me. Well, it can’t be helped. There is no little sister who surpasses her older sister!”

Ai-san flashed a mischievous grin.

Provoking Shimizu-san like that…

“…Fine.”

“What? Speak up. I can’t hear you.”

“I said fine, I’ll do it! I’ll defeat in a flash!”

“Shimizu-san…”

As expected, it had come to this. There was no stopping Shimizu-san once she was riled up.

Thus, Shimizu-san and I, Yousuke-san and Ai-san, ended up participating as couples in the Best Couple Contest.
