“Umm... Sayumi?”

“One, two, three, four!”

“Sayumiii?”

“Five, six, seven, eight!”

“Hey, Sayumi! I’m talking to you!”

“One, two... Oh? Is something the matter, Andou?”

“I mean, kinda...? Just how long are you planning on doing warm-up exercises for? You’ve been at it for thirty minutes already!”

“Andou,” I said in a stern tone. “You mustn’t underestimate the importance of warming up before you go for a swim.”

“Right, I get that, but, like...thirty minutes? That’s gotta be overkill!”

Yes. Yes, it most certainly is! I am well aware of that fact, thank you very much!

I wasn’t trying to buy myself time, per se. I was just so scared of what was to come after my warm-up was over that I couldn’t bring myself to bring it to a close. The thought of extending it in perpetuity and warming up until the day was over did cross my mind, but I was well aware that wouldn’t be feasible.

I brought my warm-up to a close and headed toward the pool area with Andou. All sorts of people were frolicking about in all sorts of pools. There was a lazy river, a water slide, a shallow pool for children—the facility had something for everyone and could be enjoyed by any and all comers. Everywhere I looked, water abounded. A splash here. A wave there.

This is...truly terrifying. Who knew that a pool could be such a fearful facility? I mustn’t let my guard down for so much as a second!

Every time water splashed within my field of vision, I shuddered with fear. I couldn’t stop myself from imagining the worst-case scenario, and each time it crossed my mind, I felt a chill race down my spine as my face blazed with heat. My body temperature was running entirely amok.

I’m certain now. I can’t take this. There was simply no way that I could enjoy my time at the pool while I was in this state. More to the point, while this was the sort of pool where the ostensible goal of many of the attractions was to not fall in the water, going an entire day here without touching water in any capacity was simply impossible, no matter how athletic you were. Perhaps I should feign a stomachache and suggest that we spend time somewhere I won’t have to get in the water? The food court, say, or the footbath? I felt a little guilty about the idea, but it seemed like my only reasonable option.

“Umm, Andou,” I began.

“All right! We’re gonna have a blast today!” Andou shouted with a full-faced grin before I could finish my suggestion. “You have no idea how much I’ve been looking forward to this, seriously!”

“...”

“Coming here with Chifuyu and Kuki was fun and all, but, like, I was the old one there, right? It sorta felt like I was their chaperone, so I didn’t get to really go crazy or anything. Not today, though! I’m gonna pull out all the stops and go totally wild!”

“...”

“Let’s make this a day to remember, Sayumi!”

“...Sure.”

I-I can’t. I can’t say
