“Ouka~ Sorry to keep you waiting! So, what do you think of this swimsuit I picked out~?” (Asuka)
“Yeah, it suits you, it suits you.” (Ouka)
“Is it cute?” (Asuka)
“It’s cute, it’s cute. It’s better for the gym too.” (Ouka)
“Yay~ I’m glad you like it! I tried on various ones yesterday, like competitive swimwear, one-piece, two-piece, tankinis… But in the end, I settled on this fitness swimsuit. Isn’t it disappointing for you, Ouka, because it covers less?” (Asuka)
“Asuka-san, please don’t say such unkind things. When have I ever been disappointed?” (Ouka)
“Competitive swimsuit…” (Asuka)
“No comment.” (Ouka)
“Come to think of it, are we swimming in the gym’s pool today? I’m not really good at swimming, you know?” (Asuka)
“Nah, we’re just walking in the pool today. There’s a dedicated walking track here. You can see a few people walking over there.” (Ouka)
“Walking, huh? Sounds easy and nice.” (Asuka)
“For Asuka, you can build up your stamina for jogging first through walking… but you have to do it with the right form.” (Ouka)
“Really? Can’t I just walk normally like how I do when I come back from school?” (Asuka)
“That’s different. When in water, you need to spread your legs wide and walk slowly so the water comes up to your shoulders.” (Ouka)
“O-Ouka… that’s too direct… telling me to ‘spread my legs’… that’s something you say in private, not in public…” (Asuka)
“Stop whispering about sexual harassment just because there are people around. And besides, I’m not that kind of guy…” (Ouka)
“Hmm, spreading your legs wide… kind of like walking a bit exaggeratedly?” (Asuka)
“Yeah, something like that. Well, I’ll show you how to do it, so watch from behind.” (Ouka)
“Eh?! Aren’t we supposed to walk side by side?” (Asuka)
“Why would we?” (Ouka)
“I thought we’d walk side by side while linking our arms underwater…” (Asuka)
“That sounds difficult, dangerous, and just awkward, so let’s pass on that… We’ll prioritize safety and do it properly.” (Ouka)
“Got it, Ouka-sensei! I’m counting on you!” (Asuka)
TL Notes:
Thanks for reading!
If it’s hard to picture the walking, it’s because I don’t really understand the walking part myself. Maybe I goofed up the translation somewhere.
