Volume 1 - CH 7.2

Well… ok. There are so many problems with it, but it’s ten billion times better than the others here.

“Next! The person who is around the age of 40!”

“Whaaaat?”

“Why are you dressed so enthusiastically? Are you planning on going to a wedding party now?”

For some reason Becky-sensei was dressed like a princess. Even I, a mild-mannered person, was a bit peeved at the appearance of this woman who looked like she was convincing us that she just ran out of a dance party at a castle and rode here in a pumpkin carriage.

“I told you to come dressed to get wet, didn’t I? Why did you come IN A DRESS?! You don’t mind it getting dirty?”

“Yeah! Make me a mess!!”

Wow! What are you talking about?

“It’s ok Hata-kun.  It’s ok. Do as you please! Sensei is here with the intention of getting dirty today! I’ll give it all to you!”

“Um excuse me… I don’t feel well. Can I go home…?”

“Don’t say that…”

Becky looks at me with big eyes and says, “Today… is a good day to stay over… mmm-hmmm”

“No! You go home! I’ll be done by early evening.”

“But you wouldn’t be satisfied with just one would you?”

“What’s with that face that says, ‘I can’t help it, I’m such a little girl’? How many times should I plant rice?”

“Sensei wants Hata-kun to sow his seeds directly in my paddy field.”

“You need to leave the field of education as soon as possible.”

This old hag…!

“Becky-sensei… I don’t want to say anything bad about you. Please leave now before you get that dress soaked in muddy water, and before you get sued for sexual harassment… please…”

“Hata-kun, you don’t understand…”

“Huh?”

“Sensei is already wet.”

At that moment… The mental stopper that existed inside of me (being conscious that the other person was older, female, and a teacher) was shattered into pieces. This isn’t a teacher that is in front of me. She is just a mourning (*Unpopular) woman who has lost her purpose in life because she is unwed.

“PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, YOU AWFUL WOMAN! And that glasses guy over there! HE’S BEEN POSING FOR US ALL DAY LONG, TRYING TO SHOW OFF HIS MUSCLES! STOP IT, YOU MAKE ME FEEL INADIQUITE! AND BECKY, YOU RELLY NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!.”

“Fufufu.  I’m sorry for getting you flustered…” Saying that, Becky fluttered the skirt of her dress and left with the wind.

I don’t know anymore. What is what?. Jeez.

…No. With or without Becky, it doesn’t matter. Or rather it’s only a problem if she is here.

And then I see the last one, my childhood friend, and I freeze.

“Minori… what is that?”

“Eh? Bloomers.”

“What… the heck…?”

The only thing covering Minori’s lower half was, without a doubt bloomers. The kind that are supposed to have disappeared from school education. They are dark blue.

“….”

After staring at them for about thirty seconds, I look up at the sky.

Ahh… blue. Bluer than the deep blue sky…

After looking at the sky I look back at the dark blue object involuntarily. Bloomers. My childhood friend is going to become a high school student and plant rice in gym cloths, including bloomers. What’s wrong with this girl?

“There was a time where I was pure. I was young… I believed that if I worked hard enough I could become a pair of bloomers one day… I could wrap a girls supple butt cheeks softly in the name of polyester… I truly believed this.”

“No, Human’s can’t become bloomers when they grow up.”

Kei’s point is too righteous and blunt. Shut up pervert. I didn’t want you to tell me.

“Kukuku… how could you do this Minori? How could you do so much damage to me with just one pair of bloomers…? Do you hate me that much…?”

“Eh? I genuinely want to make Kosaku happy.”

“I won’t die alone! I’m taking you with me on my jouney to hell!”

Minori’s face turned blue, like her bloomers.

“N..no Kosaku! You aren’t supposed to talk about that here!”

“Oh yes. Let’s talk about the ‘Magic Bloomers” incident!”

“EEEEEEK!”

“What is it Minori? What is it that’s making you act like that?”

It seems that Kei is interested.

“Tell me.”

Looks like Ringo is interested too.

“Well, it’s not that big of a deal, right? It was an incident in which Minori, who forgot to wear bloomers in middle school gym class, tried to trick the teacher by turn her white panties blue with a magic marker.”

“SO YOU WENT TO CLASS IN YOUR PANTIES?”

“THAT’S SO DUMB!”

“SHUT! UP!” Minori goes to the ground and covers her ears.

But you know Minori… even if you can cover your white panties in blue marker, you can’t cover up your past can you?

“…So your middle school still used bloomers in gym class?”

I didn’t expect I would tell everyone when you showed up for these lessons in bloomers, but Kei asked so I gave a proper answer. Because we are best friends.

“It was a rural area with a total of six students in elementary and middle school combined. Basically all the villagers are half relatives, so cloths and school supplies are often inherited from those who have already graduated.”

“These bloomers are also a hand-me-down from my sister.”

Minori who had gotten back up pat’s her bloomers clean. Minori is the second daughter of four sisters. When there are four siblings all lined up they become a scholar, a farmer, a trader, and a merchant. So she was destined for this.

Even so… (Gulp)

When Minori, who already has an ‘easy-going’ body with a big butt, wears small sized bloomers, she has a powerful sex appeal.

“Kosaku?”

“Huh?”

W..what am I thinking? Minori is like a mother, not someone to be looked at in a sexy way! I mean, Yuka-tan is the only one for me!

“M..Minori, you asshole. Perverted bloomers!”

“What?! Kosaku, you are the one who has a fascination with my bloomers! You’re the pervert!”

“No! I’m fascinated by bloomers, not YOUR bloomers.”

“That’s the same thing!”

“No no, not at all! I mean give me those bloomers. Let’s get it together.”

“He got lost in the confusion and his true thoughts came out…” Kei mutters quietly, but I ignore it.

For the time being…

“…”

Ringo, who had until then been silently observing the situation suddenly begins to take off her jersey!

“Hey, Kinoshita-san! What are you doing?”

“…”

Ringo silently strips off her cloths, ignoring Minori’s attempts to stop her. What came out from under the nondescript school jersey was…

“S..SWIMSUIT!  There we go!”

Our eyes widen in amazement at the unexpected outfit ambush. It’s navy blue polyester that clings tightly to Ringo’s body. T..That’s…

“There’s no doubt, that’s a school swimsuit… and it’s an ‘old school’ style too!”

“Old school?” Minori tilted her head when hearing my remark.

“Let me explain. ‘Old school’ means it’s the older type of school issued swim suit that isn’t standard anymore. The biggest feature is that the lower half is divided from the upper half. There are various theories as to why this design was adopted such as ‘to improve elasticity’, ‘to release water that accumulates in the middle of the swimsuit’, or ‘to do change out of it quicker’. Due to it’s shape, it can be said that it is a particularly popular model among the many types of school swimsuits over the years.”

Kei knows everything.

By the way, our school has a water reservoir for agriculture, but no swimming pool. So swimsuits are not part of the school uniform.  Perhaps Ringo brought the same one she used at her previous school. I see, Sinkoshi Gakuen is an old style school. I wouldn’t have known…

“… I like that style. It’s simple. It makes you look like an ‘old school’ girl you know?”

This comment came out of my mouth before I could stop it. I don’t even really know what I’m talking about. Still, that swimsuit is right on the money. It shows off her shape just right. It’s a very refreshing look rather than gym cloths.

“Kosaku… don’t look at me like that…”

“Ah! S..sorry…!”

I got caught staring at her thighs where it was slightly raised from the swimsuit digging into her skin. I hurriedly avert my gaze. Did she think that was perverted? Does she think I’m a pervert? I’ll have to come up with a clever excuse.

“Um.. Ringo’s swimsuit was so cute that I couldn’t help but admire her…”

“…IDIOT!!”

Ringo turned red looking down. Oops! Did I make the wrong choice? You’re so red, you look angry! The attack color.

And then there was another person who was extremely angry at me for some unexplainable reason. She walks up to Ringo and pushes her chest into her. Ringo stumbles back when shoved like this.

As if to retaliate she pushes Minori back using her chest the same way. Boing!
