Chapter 48 - Produce ②

Produce. Let me get straight to the conclusion and say that it was a game of shame on a summer day.

Full picture became clear just several minutes later.
All of us were floating in the sea.
More accurately, divided into groups with such a number of people, so that Ririksan who has qualifications as a lifeguard can look after the whole group at the same time, we were slowly advancing along the beach on the boats in pairs.

Today, the weather is clear and waves are gentle.
Sun is shining down upon the skin, un.o.bstructed by any clouds… but.

– Look, there… See, it"s Ichijou

– What the, so he wasn"t rejected after all… Even though I was aiming for her

– Tachibansan, she has such a broad grin. She looks happy…

That"s right, rowboat for pairs.
As if there was some trick in the lottery, just like the seating order in the cla.s.sroom, I was facing the familiar face like this.

– Hey, how is it…? My swimsuit…

Tachibana put her hand on the swimsuit"s string and provocatively grinned.
Black swimsuit… it matches well with the bright blonde hair and healthy white skin. She is showing her thin waist full of confidence, but, umm… I mean, her body is so womanly, I can"t look at it directly.

That being said, even if I try to look away, I"m still the one rows the boat. Without being able to look away,

– Ugh… Didn"t I see it before…

However, it seems the distance between the boats was not that big. I can hear most of it even if they say it in a subdued voice.

– No way… Ichijou, he says he has seen Karen-chan"s swimsuit before…

– Eeh… What were the circ.u.mstances?

– Have they gone to the sea together…?

We haven"t! Going to the sea together with her is so out of question…

– Ehehe, going to the sea together, huh… Wanna go?

– … I won"t

– No… Haven"t we made up, don"t be mean…

– Uh, sorry. Rather, going or not going, isn"t this place sea…

– No, I want it to be just the two of us… Like, in a little known good place with few people?

– …

No, well… I have decided to let everyone know already myself, but still.
When the two of us are together like this before everyone, I can"t look reality in the face. However, my blonde partner doesn"t care about that. No, far from caring, she entered showing off mode.

We have been together for a long time, so I have learned.
Tachibana and me, rule number one. There is a certain trigger that makes Tachibana switch the flirting mode on. For example, … When there is an embarra.s.sed expression on my face and I"m silent.

– Eeei. Kyahahaha, so fun…

– St-, stop… It"s ticklish. Oi, I"m rowing!

Her white bare feet were nudging me around the knees.
The more I grinded my teeth, the more blonde girl joyfully showed her white teeth. Rule number two. There are not many times when Tachibana and I are laughing at the same time.
This is an extremely structural problem. The development of my frown is simply her favorite food. Furthermore, right now, due to the fact that we are in public presence, she is in an extraordinary perfect form.

– Jun, you suck at rowing! Ei. Take this…

If I get repeatedly nudged by a girl"s feet, of course the paddle will be disturbed.
Even though we are under blazing sun, my body"s core started generating embarra.s.sment. I feel cold sweat on my warm back.

– Is your face becoming red? Isn"t it too late for stuff like that…♪

Still, Tachibana has strangely emphasized the "too late" part. I mean, I already can"t hear any voices from around us, eh…?

– Tachibana, oi…. Everyone is put off…

– It can"t be helped… We have a relationship that puts people off after all… Hey, clumsy guy? Should we change so I can row?

– I won"t change. My seat is on the rowing side. By the way, if you stop meddling, it"ll be a bit better

Blonde girl"s face darkened for just a moment.
But it seems that yesterday, I might have been too kind. As if instantly coming up with some bad idea, she looked at me with a meaningful suggestive face.

… Surrounding air calmed down and her gaze pierced.
It"s just like stopping to breath and waiting for the moment of a thrown grenade"s explosion.

– Eeh… Well then… Here

– U, uwaa! Don"t come close!

White bare skin covered my field of vision.
Like this, it is a perfect pitiful s.h.i.tty small fry bookworm b.a.s.t.a.r.d, on whom a gyaru sits. She stuck her bulging a.s.s against my lap.

– Umph… Jun"s lap is so warm…

– Wa, wawa… What are you doing!!

– Eh? I"m sitting on the lap of the boy I"m close with… Not good?

It is not! As I said so with my face, Tachibana puffed out her cheeks as if displeased.

Tachibana Karen always pays her debts.
This time I think she is getting back for escaping to this rural area. She is liberally leaning her body against me… Her naked back is touching my chest. Apparently, she has not forgotten about changing with me to row, so she put her hand on top of mine in a way that I"m sorry for it.

– Hey…? Your thoughts about the swimsuit!

– Cu, cute… Extremely…

– Jun, it"s getting hot… In a place like this, in front of everyone… Are you excited?

Aaaaaaaaaa.
Her temperature… Bare skin, on my bare skin, whole body, sticking…
Her soft blonde hair is directly touching my face, our cheeks are rubbing against each other.

– Hey there, you two. Cheese

As Hyoudou"s boat pa.s.sed right beside ours, she turned her smartphone at us.
Tachibana smiled with her whole face and made double peace sign. Both physically and mentally I have an ahegao1, so let alone peace sign, I couldn"t even lift my hand.

– I took a very good one!

– Thanks, Yayoi! Ehehe, nice timing…

– Well, I"ve been aiming for the best shot? Okay, okay, combining you two, it would be a double peace ahegao2, huh

What, did you plan to say something clever? I say, it wasn"t clever at all.
Long story short, time has pa.s.sed. Flirting that could make the gauge swing without stopping even more than usually, put me off myself. Even the person concerned feels so, so it should be intolerable to the people who see it. This is completely spreading the damage.

– Ichijou…… That guy~~! Shiet, I"m envious…

If it was two months earlier, he would have said it differently. But now the circ.u.mstances are complicated. I myself… stopped thinking poorly of him or something.

– What are those two doing, as expected, that"s too much…

Sounds reasonable. Everyone, I think it"s okay if you hit me later. Turn me into a sand bag. I think that I"d rather make my death meaningful.

– It"s such a big lie that he was rejected. Aren"t they completely going out…

Stop, don"t say that we"re going out. I worry even without you putting it into words…

– Just go and isolate yourselves somewhere… Arrange yourselves a room or something…

Jeez, I"d rather drown myself. Sea is right here, should I maybe die…
Probably because it was, in fact, too much, elder sister Komatsu raised her voice from the boat behind. It was mixed with a sigh too.

– You guys, listen here. I don"t mind your pa.s.sion, but it"s dangerous. Alright? Sit apart

– Yeees… Ehehe, we were scolded♪

– This kind of treatment… What a shame… I"m gonna die…

Before separating from me, the blonde girl whispered in my ear,

– Lovey-dovey with Jun. It will be the best memory… That"s why, won"t you accompany me for a bit longer?

Before the emotional burden broke through my limits, we finally arrived to the destination.
A little further from the swimming area, there was another beach with no people to be found around. Surveying just a bit, trees growing in abundance on the other side can be seen.
Also, on the sh.o.r.e, there was a row of disa.s.sembled tents.
