I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

"Mio..."

He was just doing warm-up exercises in pairs at the teacher's request, but Arisa took the opportunity to tease him from behind, and could always use words to precisely stimulate his fragile nerves.

"It's just a warm-up! Arisa, do you have to make such a big deal out of this!"

Unable to contain herself any longer, Nozomi protested in a low voice, but it had no effect.

Fortunately, the warm-up doesn't need to be too long. It's enough to get their bodies moving and ready for exercise so they won't cramp up when they go into the water.

then.

After the teacher blew the whistle to signal the end of the warm-up, Arisa reluctantly let go of Nozomi's hand.

a long time.

After explaining the precautions, it was time for the much-anticipated free time. As soon as the teacher said "Dismissed," the sound of everyone jumping into the pool echoed throughout the swimming pool.

Watching the boys splashing water at each other without restraint, Ximiao looked on with a hint of envy for a while, while she remained sitting by the pool, kicking and playing in the water.

"Huh? Mio, what are you doing?"

Since we found Hiyo, apart from her feet being a little wet, the rest of her body is completely dry, and it looks like she hasn't gotten wet at all.

Intrigued, Arisa swam slowly to Nozomi's side and asked softly.

"N-nothing, it's just that I don't really want to get my body wet."

Moreover, if that place were to be stimulated by this icy pool water now, the consequences would definitely be very bad.

Nozomi couldn't help but think this.

however.

As a demon, how could Arisa possibly grant his wish and let him get through this gym class completely dry?

"Mio, there seems to be something strange on your face~"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing what Arisa said, Nozomi subconsciously reached out and touched her face.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the girl grabbed his ankle and pulled him sharply. Xi Ling felt the scene in front of her suddenly change, and then she fell into the pool.

The icy pool water made him shiver. He had been dragged into the pool by Arisa without warning, and unsurprisingly, he choked on some water and coughed.

As for Arisa, who was the instigator, she stood innocently to the side and patted him on the back considerately.

"Really~ How could you be so careless~ It would be terrible if you bumped your head."

"Cough cough cough... So, Arisa, don't drag me into this!!"

"Huh? Did I?"

Seeing the girl who refused to admit her mistake, Xi Miao was furious and splashed water at her.

The two of them started playing around by the pool, but to the other students, it was just a normal playful fight between the young couple.

Heaven knows how many times Hiyo was forced to choke on water, and her arms weren't as long as Arisa's, giving Arisa a huge advantage.

Before long, seeing how much fun the two of them were having, the other girls also took the opportunity to join in. For some reason, it turned into two camps having a water fight in the pool.

Exhausted, Nozomi slowly climbed the ladder to the edge of the pool and breathed a sigh of relief when the school bell rang.

Perhaps because he had played too hard, he felt a sudden ache in his back and waist, and he couldn't muster any strength. He could only sit on a bench and wipe his wet hair with a towel.

"Hurry up and go back and put on some clothes, you'll easily catch a cold."

Arisa, who also emerged from the pool, displayed her beautiful figure perfectly, even while wearing a conservative school swimsuit.

If you go around to her back, you can see a red handprint on her pert little bottom.

That's right.

That was the masterpiece that Hio left behind while Arisa was distracted dealing with the others.

As a result, Nozomi's waist was covered in bruises, all marks of Arisa's revenge, and even now, it still aches faintly.

However, after getting out of the pool, the grudge between the two remained in the pool.

Hearing that Arisa had come to check on him, Nozomi sighed silently and then said.

"I don't really want to change my clothes in a classroom with so many people. Arisa, could you go get me my clothes?"

"Huh? Why?"

"...I feel a little uncomfortable being watched by other people, so please help me with this!"

"alright."

Unable to resist Nozomi's persistent pleas, Arisa relented and agreed.

At the entrance of the men's restroom in the teaching building, a thin figure was peeking around, seemingly waiting for someone to come.

It wasn't until Arisa strolled over with a bag of clothes and handed it to him that Nozomi's heart finally settled down.

"Thank you so much, Arisa!"

"Go back to the classroom after you change your clothes. I'm going back now, class is about to start."

After waving goodbye to Nozomi, Arisa walked towards the classroom without looking back, showing no intention of waiting for him there.

Nozomi didn't say anything about it. She picked up her clothes and walked into the third toilet stall, which was Hanako's room, as if she knew the way well.

"Oh~ long time no see. By the way, what's with your outfit?"

Hanako was sitting at the table, drinking hot tea, and Mio saw her as soon as she entered the room.

She had never seen Xi Miao come over wearing swim trunks before; this was the first time she had seen her like this, as if she had unlocked a new skin for Xi Miao.

Nozomi smiled somewhat awkwardly at Hanako-san, and then explained to her.

"That was a swimming lesson. After all, last semester was the first semester for freshmen, and there were no swimming lessons. They were only offered this semester."

"Then why don't you come here to change your swimsuit?"

She said this while eating senbei, seemingly expressing some dissatisfaction that Nozomi hadn't come to her side when she was changing clothes earlier.

however.

Having already taken off her swim trunks, Nozomi, with her back to Hanako-san, spoke without turning her head.

"It's all boys, and I'm the only one here changing clothes. That's so weird, people will gossip about me."

Not wanting to implicate Arisa because of his own situation, he forced himself to endure the embarrassment and changed into his swim trunks in the classroom.

Hearing what Nozomi said, Hanako finally understood why he was acting this way.

Nozomi had already put on her panties, so she no longer needed to half-cover herself and turn her back to Hanako-san as before, since it wouldn't be very convenient to talk.

Upon seeing Nozomi's face, even Hanako, who was used to playing girls' games, couldn't help but blush.

"Indeed... Nozomi, it's hard not to attract attention when you're like this, but~ in my opinion, it's kind of cute~ Can I touch it?"

"Eh?"

Nozomi was taken aback, not expecting Hanako-san to say that so suddenly.

"is it not OK?"

"Of course not! Who would ask someone to touch them here?"

He said to Ms. Hanako in an annoyed tone, then put on his clothes, picked up his wet swim trunks, put them in a bag, and prepared to go back.

As he was about to leave the room, he heard Ms. Hanako muttering softly.

"Seriously... They always borrow my room to change clothes, but I can only look and not touch. How can there be such a good thing?"

"..."

However, Nozomi didn't say anything, she just silently picked up her things and left the room.

Anyway, he'll be coming back here again for club activities later, so he might as well use this last class of the afternoon to think about how to deal with Hanako-san.

In the classroom of Class A, Grade 1.

Back in her seat, Nozomi sighed silently.

"Hmm? Why are you still sighing? Didn't I specially take the clothes over there for you?"

Seeing Nozomi's strange expression, Arisa couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some troublesome things."

"Something troublesome?"

However, Nozomi didn't continue speaking, and the teacher walked to the podium at that moment, so Arisa didn't dwell on the matter too much.

When Hio wants to tell her, she will naturally do so.

With this in mind, Arisa refocused her attention on the podium and began to listen attentively to the lesson.

After what seemed like an eternity, as soon as get out of class ended, Nozomi grabbed her gym clothes and shorts and headed towards Hanako-san.

Completely unaware that Arisa was looking at him with a strange expression from behind.

In Hanako's room...

Nozomi, who was being stared at by Hanako, felt extremely uncomfortable, but Hanako showed no sign of backing down.

"What exactly do you want, Ms. Hanako?!"

"Let me touch it."

"……don't want!"

Seeing that she was still determined to do something, Ximiao glared at her fiercely, wanting to warn Hanako not to bring up the matter again.

After all, even Honoka-nee hadn't had the chance to touch that place like Arisa, let alone a little ghost like her.

After changing his clothes, he said goodbye to Hanako and headed to the gymnasium to meet up with Arisa.

Only Hanako-san, who seemed inexplicably melancholic, remained sitting to one side, still fixated on the idea of ​​touching it.

"I will definitely find it!"
