Chapter 224: Going to the Pool with Everyone (2)
As expected, the pool was crowded with people. As soon as they opened, a wave of people rushed in.
Maybe because it was Obon, the place was filled with families. There were a lot of elderlies and children alike and I haven’t seen anyone who looked like they were here to pick up girls so far.
Well, maybe it was just my prejudice that those kinds of people existed at every pool.
Anyway, Nozomu and I quickly changed into our swimsuits and waited for the girls.
“Man, it’s so crowded. I didn’t expect it to be this busy.”
“Really? There are less people than usual though. Maybe it’s because it’s Obon? I don’t know… Also, it’s your first time at the pool, isn’t it, Maki?”
“Yeah. My grandparents’ house was close to the beach, so I often went there instead of the pool when I was little. I always hated crowds so I wouldn’t go to crowded places like this voluntarily. Besides, I’m not exactly a strong swimmer.”
“I see, so that’s why you picked kendo instead of swimming for your PE elective.”
Nozomu clapped his hands in understanding.
