“Okay, Miss Claire. First put your face in the water.”

“You better not let go! You hear me?!” Submerged up to my shoulders, I pathetically pleaded to Rae. She nodded back insincerely, urging me to hurry up and dip my face.

Rae and I were at a beach close to her house. The sand was pure white, and the water was a wondrous emerald green—but I was in no position to admire the beach’s beauty right now. Rae was giving me a swimming lesson, on account of the fact that I swam about as well as a rock. My swimming skills were so poor, in fact, that I couldn’t even put my face under the water. Rae gave me a lukewarm, pitying gaze as she encouraged me to take the plunge.

After a few deep breaths, I worked up the courage and put my face just under the surface of the water. My eyes were closed, of course. Ick… The water tastes so salty and clings to my skin. A lake would’ve been so much better!

“Blah!” The thought of not being able to breathe air terrified me. I soon raised my head back up, having at least succeeded in my goal of putting my face underwater. “How was that?! I did it! I put my face in the water!”

“Yes, you did. Now let’s try it for ten seconds next.”

“What?! You’re going to make me attempt something so challenging this soon?!”

“There’s…nothing remotely challenging about this.” She grinned wryly. I had a feeling she was thinking something rude. Grrrr…

Incidentally, we were dressed in our bathing suits, since we were at the beach—even if we were only in the shallows. I wore a bright red bikini with a white cloth pareo wrap. I’d heard it was the latest summer fashion among the nobility, so I’d obtained one as soon as I could. Rae wore a black one-piece swimsuit with two white stripes on either side. It was a simple design, definitely something a commoner would wear, but it looked oddly lovely on her. The nape of her neck—made visible with her hair tied up—and her spotless, glistening thighs made my heart race.

Oblivious to my thoughts, Rae said, “Ten seconds. Ready?”

“Hmgh… Fine. I, Claire François, have mastered countless skills before and I shall do so again,” I declared before putting my face under the water. Being unable to breathe and being surrounded by darkness both scared me. Even so, I kept my head under for as long as I could. “Blah! How many seconds was that?!”

“Five.”

“Ergh… This is difficult. I imagine most people in the world are unable to accomplish this feat.”

“Uh, no? I’m sure just about everyone can do this much.”

What? Absurd. Did the rest of humanity descend from fish?

“I wish to take a break,” I said.

“Already?! All you’ve done is put your face in the water twice!”

“And that is plenty. If I am already able to put my face in the water for five seconds, then I’ll be able to swim soon enough.”

“What?! That logic does not track.
