Synesthesia Petals

Synesthesia Petals
Green Shells Without Master


Beach, summer vacation certainly some people will unwind to go to a place like today.


Sitting on an elongated wooden chair, while enjoying an ice cream treat by Sawatari under a large umbrella. Just using blue pants to swim, I was quite embarrassed because some people let alone dominant women glanced at the shape of my body that was formed.


   “You got a cave hit ya?”


That's what I thought when I realized some people were staring at me. Senke and Sakaguchi were preparing umbrellas and unfurling beach carpets on the coast, they were too diligent in this hot weather.


   “Panda, what are you doing here?”


Ask someone, bite the ice cream that I enjoy then look to the left side and there is a woman who has a better appearance than before. Sawatari, she was wearing a swimsuit with a green melon-patterned bikini strap.


Silently staring at her figure for quite a while, she wrapped her melon in a melon-patterned swimsuit. Is this one of the conspiracies in the world?


   “Why are you staring at my chest!?”


Sawatari turned away while covering her chest with both hands. Spending the rest of the ice cream held, throw the ice cream stick into the trash can on my right by throwing it.


   “How else, your chest is big. My eyes immediately turned to yours, weapons of destruction of virgins.”


   “Are you not a virgin either!?”


   “You want me to hit? Since you raised your voice, just relax.Where are the others?”


   “They're coming soon, I'd love to see Kazari senpai's swimwear. If not mistaken, he carried a black swimsuit, as expected of the Chairman of the Classics Club.”


   “You healthy? Both women say it .. lest you like same sex?”


   “Which is possible, I'm not that cool.”


Sawatari answered, His rational thinking made me enjoy this conversation. Moreover, teasing him, really make my days more filled with nutritional intake in another sense.


   “I go first, tell them to go to the place where there is the green umbrella.”


I said pointing at the location of her umbrella, Sawatari nodded her head in a sign that she understood. Walking towards Sakaguchi and Senke, the two of them were seen talking about something seriously.


   “What are you two talking about?”


I asked while taking a position sitting cross-legged on Sakaguchi's side, they were both discussing about the event that will be held later tonight. Because tonight will stay, enjoy a hot spring bath does not hurt, does it?


   “By the way Panda, your test scores yesterday are above the red scores. You're too relaxed as a student, even though we're first grade soon we'll be seniors.”


Senke said, their scores are both better than me because facing the previous exam they are more serious and enterprising in studying. While me? Occasionally studying, occasionally practicing at night and so on until my grades almost get red.


   “What do you two expect this summer? Surely a girlfriend, right?”


Sakaguchi's passionate question let alone seeing her carefree face made it difficult for us to tell her the truth. This summer, I had more hope that the supernatural phenomenon that was near me would not happen again even though I knew little of the cause.


   “Sorry waiting.”


The words of someone behind us made the three of us look back. Sakaguchi was stunned to see the figures of the girls wearing swimsuits and he could not take his eyes off, I saw from left to right side repeatedly and this scene was indeed very rare.


   “You look so sweet.”


Senke said as he showed his small smile. Kamine who looks to have an immature body, but when wearing a swimsuit then the assessment of each person on him will be very different.


   “You fit perfectly, look very perverted.”


As I gave them a thumbs up, Sawatari who was holding the ball threw it towards the face. Quickly, I held the ball and threw it back to Sawatari until he fell because his face was hit.


   “Sorry, my body moves on its own.”

Staring at Sakaguchi, Senke, Kamine, and Kifune from a distance were seen enjoying playing in the sea. Playing volleyball in the sea is epic, but never see a female figure who asks to apply sunscreen when they do not know what to do.


   “Koala, can you apply this to me?”


He said as he took off his swimsuit, scrunched my forehead to accept his offer or not. But since I was a real man, I accepted his offer but handed the task to Sawatari who was sitting on my right.


Kamine was seen waving her hands at me while floating on the surface of the sea using a circular rubber balloon. Kazari is seen puffing his cheeks and tells Sawatari to apply sunscreen to him.


Rising to the surface, the figure of a beautiful girl enjoying her leisure time held my right hand and let her hold my hand to her rubber balloon.


   “Can't you swim Kamine? What will happen if a big wave hits you?”


   “Just relax, I'm calm because you're here.”


His words made me very embarrassed, Kamine said with a dazzling little smile. Pushing it a little to the side so we weren't far from Sakaguchi's group and the others.


Looking at the different Kifune than usual, the dark blue swimsuit she was wearing looked sweet. Surprisingly, Kamine pinched my hand that was getting sicker and sicker.


   “Can you stop that? And don't look at me with such a disappointed look.”


I said, without me knowing Sawatari was joining us and she instead approached the two of us instead of Kifune and the others.


   “What's Sawatari? Mr Panda, can you take me to the edge?”


Tanya Kamine, without further ado slowly pushed Kamine to the edge assisted by Sawatari. It seemed like he wanted to talk about something, visible from his face that was unbending his intentions.


   “What's Sawatari, you look confused?”


   “There is something I want to talk about, but the current situation does not support at all.”


Sawatari replied, even so she looked very worried and it was likely that she was getting into trouble. If this concerns a supernatural phenomenon, then I must resolve this matter before anyone else is affected.


It's just .. there was a big wave that suddenly hit us from behind. Damn it again, the grip of my hand holding onto Kamine's rubber balloon came off and this freaked me out.


After being able to survive the waves, looking around me and seen Kamine survived because she was pushed by the waves even though she fell down to the sand dune of a former child making a sand castle.


   “Luck, if I'm always with you always shit.”


Said Sawatari who was behind me while confirming the position of her swimsuit upper. I still think about what he said before, until I did not realize until I looked at his chest long enough.

At night, as promised we met outside the inn which has hot spring facilities. That said, this hot spring there are ghosts that run and this rumor causes this inn to be shunned but there are those who dare to soak like us.


Walking towards a place in front of the inn, this place had only an elongated wooden chair and an umbrella that had been installed since the beginning of daylight. There was a blonde girl waiting for me, she looked cold and I gave her the jacket I was wearing right now.


   “Are you not soaking yet? You're cold.”


   “Yes, but what I'm about to say right now is more important than myself. Just jump at the core.”


Sawatari got up from her seat, she looked at me with worried eyes. Swallow, it's like a confession of love.


   “Panda, you and others ... will die.”


With just that sentence, my brain instantly digested and my stomach ached. Holding both shoulders, I asked him for a more detailed explanation.


   “I have actually passed through today because it mimics the abilities that Kifune has. Tomorrow, you will be killed along with Kazari senpai and Kifune. Repetition occurred when on the beach earlier, I was confused and you were the only one I could tell about this.”


   “I didn't realize it, when did it happen?”


   “Tomorrow at noon, the bus we are going to ride has a problem and hits the barrier that makes us fall. But since you've realized it, you helped Sakaguchi and Kamine out by forcibly opening the bus door. Kifune and Kazari senpai helped me to get away with Senke quickly. The result ... You three died, after which time repeated again.”


   “If the bus we will ride we pass and take the next bus, maybe we can survive. But ... If we die in any other way, it means the cause is one of us. It's possible that Kifune, can you remember what happened when the repetition hasn't happened.”


   “We soak as usual and enjoy the bath, but before going to bed we tell ourselves each.”


I realized the cause, telling the past makes the cause of black flower petals appear. I don't know what the reason is, but the cause is this.


   “Kamine tells of an incident in which she fell into a coma. Kifune recounts his past encountering a man in the park when they were children. As well as Kazari senpai, he told about the incident where when he fell on the bridge there was a man who helped him not to give up.”


Of all the explanations, all the stories lead to one person. In other words, they all told me one person who led me was myself.


But if I was the cause, it means that the black flower petals that had been surrounding me might make sense.
