Later on, Kaho-chan and I soaked in the tub side by side. I had to admit, love hotel bathtubs were pretty nice in the sense that two people could both stretch out comfortably. I flipped a switch to turn on the jacuzzi and felt all the better for it.

Kaho-chan seemed a little calmer than she had been earlier too. Still in her shy mode, she sunk into the bath water up to her mouth and mumbled in a reproachful tone, “Rena-chin, you seem awfully comfortable with this set-up.”

“Oh, ho, you think? That’s good.” I mean, bathing with pretty girls was second nature to me at this point, you know? I was a veteran when it came to this. Okay, no, sorry for lying. It wasn’t remotely second nature, and every time felt like a life-threatening experience.

“You extroverts are freaky,” Kaho-chan muttered.

Yeah, her eyesight really must have sucked. That, or because Kaho-chan was so very much not an extrovert herself, my meager amounts of extroversion were enough to fool her.

She splashed her face with the hot water. “I really suck,” she said. “I totally forget how to talk to people when I take out my contacts. It’s like, there’s stuff I wanna say, but the words don’t come out anymore.”

“Huh, okay.” (Felt that.)

“Like I go to a convenience store and buy a bento, a thing of ice cream, a bag of chips, and a bottle of something, but then I can’t find the right moment to ask for a bag, so I end up having to juggle them all the way home as best I can.”

“Interesting.” (Felt that one too.)

The inner junior high me nodded and went, “Ah, so it’s that sort of social anxiety, I see.” There are two types of people out there with social anxiety. One of them’s the kind who can’t talk in general, and the other’s the kind who can’t shut up. Kaho-chan was the former whereas I had been the latter—emphasis on the pluperfect, thank you very much!

“At any rate,” I said, “the idea of cosplaying as an extrovert is really interesting.”

“Mm,” she said. “I just started doing it, and somewhere along the way I ended up pulling it off. I’ve always had fun acting as characters, that’s all. And when I think about it as a cosplay, I can be more outgoing than I would be otherwise.”

“That makes sense. I think I get how you feel.”

In a sense, my turning over a new leaf for high school was cosplaying as my ideal human being too. If I hadn’t told myself to be different than I normally was, then I wouldn’t have been able to talk to Mai on the first day of school or any number of those things that followed.

“You sure do like cosplay, Kaho-chan,” I said.

“…Yeah, I do.” She said it so simply that it seemed heartfelt. “I guess it’s the one thing I can proudly say I like more than anyone else does. That’s why I had so much fun when we got to do this together.
