Chapter 223: Going to the Pool with Everyone (1)
After a successful birthday celebration, came Obon. Because of it, Nozomu also got time off from practice, so the five of us decided to go out together.
Because of Nozomu’s schedule, it was rare for all five of our schedules to line up. The only time it happened was in early August when Amami-san held a barbeque party at her house.
We planned to go to a pool nearby. If we were to take the train near our school, it would take half an hour to get there. The pool was located inside an amusement park and it was only open in the summer. Since that was the case, the pool was filled with various things like water slides. Also, unlike a normal pool, there weren't any lanes for serious swimming.
We could just go to the beach, but we would need to drive there. The nearest beach was a bit far from our place. With a car, it would take more than an hour to get there. In the end, we decided to go to the nearest pool instead.
Also, we had no one to take us to the beach since both Sora-san and Eri-san were busy this time.
“Yo, Maki.”
“Morning.”
I was waiting alone near the bench by the station’s gate. Nozomu was the first to arrive.
Naturally, he wasn’t wearing his baseball uniform. Since I rarely saw him in his casual clothes, it was quite refreshing to see. He was wearing a t-shirt and a pair of trousers from the same brand. The way he dressed wasn’t all that different from me, but he somehow looked way better than me. Even from my perspective as a man, he was quite good looking.
