"You're gonna do something, right? you're my friend, aren't you?" Sentences are not patrolled, but instead signed by Sudou. Only in times like these do they use the word "friend". Very sweet.
“I think I can try it. Don't get your hopes up.”
After answering, I stopped chatting and tried to call Horikita. The reason I granted her request was because some part of me also wanted to invite her. Since his reputation in the classroom has already started to increase, I can expect good results from this.
"What do you want?"
"Am I not supposed to call for no reason?"
"I'll hang up."
"Wait, I got something. Actually, some friends are talking about going to the pool tomorrow. Then they told me to take you in because you just read and hide in your room every day."
"Your friend? you mean that trio of idiots? I don't want to join them." A very nostalgic thing…
"I refuse"
.
"Are you coming if it's just the two of us?"
"it's the same." Of course I will but this time, I have another way.
"The water bottle" I felt the attitude and aura had already changed from across the phone line from hearing these simple words.
"The word water bottle's been on my mind lately, you know."
"… What do you mean?" It didn't matter if he did as he said, but he was pretending not to know anything.
"Feeling trapped in a water bottle, or something, reminds?"
"Your personality comes out through an unpleasant way of speaking." Realizing what I was trying to tell him, he seemed to be more dislikeful than usual.
.
"I'd be happier if you were more honest."
"Where and when is tomorrow?" Horikita has something she must protect. I assume he won't let anyone know about the water bottle incident. For this reason, he was even willing to go to the swimming pool.
"Half eight in the morning near the lobby, we'll split the sore."
"I understand, but I won't forgive you if you use it again."
"Good"
I have no intention of using that excuse against him a second or a third time. Rather than using it to squeeze it, it would be more like thanking me for my help during the water bottle incident. I believe he understands that too.
“I took her”
“Good work Ayanokouji! you managed to evade the German Suplex on concrete ground!"
(T/N: Suplex is commonly used in boxing. Hugging an opponent from behind and slamming him backwards) ... It seems my life is in danger.
.
“Take him for me Ayanokouji! I beg of you! He should have been rejected yesterday, but he still sent text messages like that. Soon after, Yamauchi's personal chat appeared.
“I must keep my refusal a secret! Help me!”
It was a piece of writing delivered by the other party through a pitiful message. It seems like she still wants to be seen falling in love with Sakura. Of course, if he were to join, the boy would definitely be happy. But she was not a woman who could join easily. He is honest, but he does not join Karuizawa's group during swimming lessons.
*********** larger than others, stealing attention from the same gender, even other genders as well. Then, it must have been very difficult to make friends with the man he had just rejected. Regardless of whether he wanted to leave or not, I could at least call him.

In the blink of an eye, the promised day arrived. The start of the last event in the summer holidays, the promised time is 8:30. When it came down to the lobby, most of the members had already gathered.
"You're barely on time, huh"
"There is still about ... 1 0 seconds until the promised time"
"Lift's stuck and that's why you're late, isn't it?"
.
Although I'm not late, I was thoroughly investigated as such by Horikita. Perhaps this was the reaction of the forced invitation. Moreover, perhaps he felt that the atmosphere of this place was a troublesome atmosphere. What to do, because with Kushida and Sakura, Ike and Yamauchi, there was almost no one he could talk to.
"Good morning, Ayanokouji-kun"
"Good morning, Sakura" While looking a little scared, Sakura peeked at me as she greeted me. Towards Sakura, Yamauchi seemed to be noticing her but it seemed like she was worried about him unwittingly.
Sakura also felt a little uncomfortable somewhere out of nowhere. I'll take note of this for reference, but confession doesn't just lead to something happy. Something disturbing also came along afterwards.
"Where's Sudou?"
"Because it was him we were talking about, maybe Sudou fell asleep” Horikita said. Although the time to gather had already arrived and passed, no sign of Sudou would appear. Since he worked hard at his club activities until yesterday, he may have been exhausted. Since no one tried to contact Sudou, I did.
.
I tried calling her, but even though the phone kept ringing, I couldn't even get to the answer. I ended the call and informed my surroundings about it.
"What did that guy do? It's 8:30! If he's not fast, we won't be the first!" Ike became irritated. Fidgeting, looking at the elevator. The elevator showed no signs of movement.
"Well, I'll wake her up" Yamauchi, who was uncomfortable with the awkward silence between her and Sakura, said as she rode the elevator. At that very instant, I could feel the invisible heavy atmosphere begin to fade away.
"Is there something going on with him?" It seemed that Horikita also noticed Yamauchi's change and asked him in a loud voice. I ruffled my hair while thinking about how I answered it.
"There's a lot going on" In the end, I stopped talking. Neither Yamauchi nor Sakura would be happy if this story spread.
"Hmmm...? If not wrong ... Horikita-san and the others, good morning..."
.
While we were in the lobby and waiting for Sudou, Ichinose and his three female friends came down. Bath towels can be seen peering out of the unusual and colorful plastic bags they hold in their hands.
"Don't you guys go to the pool, too?"
"That's how” The last thing to see at the end of summer vacation is to go and play in the pool. Even if our spirits overlap, it is not strange.
"Since we're all here, let's all play together. How's it?"
"of course. You can join !!!" Ike, almost feeling about to fly, jumped off the sofa and greeted him. This time, it seemed like Horikita had no intention to say anything in particular since she did not say a word.
"Just sorry, one of us fell asleep and we're still waiting for him to come down. One of our friends is picking him up right now."
"Allahhhhh!" answer Ichinose.
***
Opening his mouth wide like a crocodile, Sudou scratched his messy hair.
"sorry. I overslept. It seems I'm exhausted from the club's piling up activities"
"Don't tell me that."
Sudou apologized for being too annoying to Horikita who was beside him, but it seemed that he treated Sudou like something troublesome. There is no sign that the distance between the two is getting closer. On the other hand, the group of Ichinose who had already jumped in to participate was also talking with Kushida in the middle.
"Hey, Ayanokouji-kun" Horikita called out to me, the person beside Soudou. Sudou glanced at me with
bored expression on his face.
"Do you think this situation is a little strange?"
"Why?”
"Ike-kun and Yamauchi-kun. I know this will give them more luck than anyone else at a time like this, right?"
.
In response to that sharp statement, Sudou also stiffened for a moment. Since he was right beside her, Horikita did not ignore the figure.
"Did you remember something, Sudou-kun?"
"Nothing......" Sudou tried to trick her like that, but instead of eliminating her disbelief, it would only make Horikita become more vigilant. Ike and Yamauchi walked together with stiff expressions while hugging each other's shoulders.
"I absolutely cannot help but think that they have a suspicious purpose." Horikita said. On the other hand, as if to say that, Horikita also focused her attention on the bag Ike was holding.
"Although they should have nothing but towels and bathing suits with them, the bag looked a little heavy" It seemed like the bag Ike was wearing was heavier than the other men had, me included.
"really? It doesn't look like that at all, I think...."
"Don't look like that? After seeing that?" Horikita's suspicions had a reason after seeing her bag sway and almost straighten her elbow as it happened.
.
"Isn't it because he just wants to play around after he gets to the pool? He only brought the items he needed for it" I said that to back up Sudou's words. Sudou quickly got into the ark.
"True, I also think like that”
"I understand... It could have been like that" Through daily observation, this was a fact known by the trio of idiots the girl maniac. Want how else, even though he felt afraid of the three who were not quite right as usual.
But there's a deep reason behind this. Currently, the three were being attacked by extreme feelings of nervousness. This was not due to the fact that they were surrounded by beautiful girls at this time. It was because they would soon see the girls wearing their swimsuits. I have to change the subject here in order to continue fooling him.
"Soudou"
"W-what?"
"The result of your club activities..How do I say yes, but did you receive a new income from points?"
Splice...
