ALL NOVEL chapter 44
Episode 41: The Magical Girl and the Pool
“~♪”
Sensing the premonition of gloom, I relaxed on the bed, feeling on top of the world.
Well… I thought I’d have to wait a while for the gloom, and I was a bit down… but yes! The confirmed gloom event is here!
The goddess of gloom always smiles upon me!
“Ah… it was really hell…”
As I was dancing with joy at the new night of gloom on the bed, Seito came out of the bathroom.
Maybe the motion sickness medicine worked, his complexion looked better than before.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine now. More importantly, let’s go to the pool!”
“Come to think of it, it’s already started… no wonder the hallway is noisy.”
One of the highlights of this ship, the giant pool.
It’s so spacious that even all the first-year students can fit in with room to spare, and it even has a small slide, making it quite luxurious.
Moreover, the poolside rest area and services like the spa are all free, which is quite generous.
“Do you really want to swim that much?”
“Idiot, of course, I’m going to see the girls in swimsuits!”
“I thought so. Well, let’s go then.”
“Oh, you’re unusually enthusiastic. Do you want to see someone in a swimsuit too?”
“Well, something like that.”
Maybe Christina will go too. Missing the gloom is absolutely unacceptable.
“Let’s go then.”
“Yeah.”
We grabbed our swimsuits and change of clothes and left the room.
◇
“Wow! It’s huge!”
“Indeed, it’s more than I expected.”
—
After changing into our swimsuits in the locker room, we were astonished by the size of the pool.
The pool, which seemed even larger than a regular pool facility, was already bustling with many students.
However, most of them appeared to be couples or groups of girls. The other guys were grinning as they watched the girls in their swimsuits from the poolside.
“So, what are we going to do?”
“Of course, we’re going to get a close look at the girls in their swimsuits! Follow me, Sota!”
With that, he dived into the pool and swam towards the girls.
I watched Seito’s back as he swam away and then started walking along the poolside.
“There are so many good-looking people here…”
The boys and girls in the pool all had exceptionally high facial attractiveness. Each one of them was as beautiful or handsome as the rare standout in a class.
This must be because this world is an anime world.
“Sota”
As I was thinking about this and walking along the poolside, I heard my name called in a voice as clear as a bell.
When I turned around, there was a beautiful girl in a pure white swimsuit, elegantly lounging under a parasol. It was Rena Tachibana, also known as Luna the Ice Princess.
I had thought the girls in our class were good-looking, but seeing Luna made me realize it anew. The facial attractiveness of magical girls was on a whole different level.
Indeed, the main characters of this world are in a league of their own.
“Oh my, what’s the matter? Why are you staring at me like that?”
“No, I just thought you were as beautiful as ever.”
“Hehe, you can be quite the flatterer, can’t you?”
“No, it’s the truth.”
“Well, I’ll graciously accept your compliment then.”
She smiled happily and elegantly sipped the juice that was placed beside her.
She really is beautiful…
A magical girl in a swimsuit, elegantly drinking juice by the poolside, is such a picturesque sight. I would love to hang a tapestry of this scene in my room.
Ah, I want to see Luna’s troubled expression again.
“It’s surprising to see you here. Did you come to see the girls in their swimsuits?”
“No way, I just came to accompany him.”
“Oh, the guy who was bothering Yuna. So he’s your friend?”
“Well, sort of. I don’t really want people to think we’re close… So, what brings you here, Rena?”
“I’m also here to accompany those girls.”
When I looked into the pool at Luna’s words, I saw Fiona, Noah, and Fran having fun playing together.
—
—
The magical girls were indeed in a league of their own, emitting an aura distinct from the other girls.
However, as expected, Christina was nowhere to be seen.
So, Christina isn’t here after all…
“Looks like you’re having fun. Aren’t you going to swim, Reina?”
“I prefer to relax elegantly by the poolside, sipping juice like this.”
“Oh, I thought maybe you couldn’t swim.”
At that moment, Luna’s expression froze.
Oh, I just said that offhandedly, but could it be true?
“Just so you know, I can swim perfectly fine… as long as I have a float.”
“I-I see.”
Does that even count as swimming?
“…You just made fun of me, didn’t you?”
“No, not at all. I just thought it was cute.”
“I see… You have some nerve to mock me… I’ve just run out of juice. Could you get me some?”
“Of course, my lady!”
I dashed to the store to buy juice to appease Luna.
