Chapter 24:Summer's Memory ⑥

It was now afternoon, with all that happened, everyone agreed to finally enjoy the beach before the day got worse as they saw the clouds gathering. Fuutarou was alone in changing while the girls changed somewhere else. While he was on his way to the beach, he noticed a metal plaque named "Maruo Pharmacies". Confused, Fuutarou looks around in panic, thinking Maruo might have been spying on them the whole time, but the only thing around is an empty building. On it, he sees a sign announcing its closure, dated only a month back.

Fuutarou:"This place was closed not too long ago, wonder why...That might have been the reason he was so busy...He could have at least congratulated them on the phone or something."

Fuutarou went back on his path to the beach once he remembered the time. Once he got there, he was surprised to see just how empty the beach was.

Fuutarou:"So this is luxury..."

Soon, he began to hear footsteps closing in fast. Fuutarou turns just as a gust of wind passes by at top speed.

Fuutarou:"G-Girls?"

The gust consisted of Yotsuba with Raiha on her shoulders running at top speed towards the water. Yotsuba was wearing a 2 lock swimsuit with a flower pattern, while Raiha had her school swimsuit on.

Fuutarou:"H-Hey! That's dangerous!"

Ichika:"I'm sure Yotsuba will be safe about it."

Ichika is next, wearing a black swimsuit. Right behind her is Itsuki wearing a red, frilly swimsuit, with a tropical underside. She was sulking.

Itsuki:[I just bought this, but I don't feel too well...]

Itsuki raised her head to see Ichika acting normal with Fuutarou.

Itsuki:[Ichika isn't acting any differently...Maybe her moving really doesn't have to do with him? Then there's Yotsuba, who's always acted the same around Uesugi-kun despite her past...Gah! I don't want to bring down the mood, even if it's a lie, I have to have some fun for everyone's sake!]

Itsuki ran towards Fuutarou.

Itsuki:"Everyone's swimsuits are really pretty. But what do you think of mine? You invited us so suddenly that I had to rush out to buy one. My old one just barely didn't fit..."

Fuutarou:"Hm, well...I think it's good, yeah."

Itsuki:"We haven't really done anything during vacation, so we were pretty ecstatic."

Fuutarou:"That's good to hear, you girls deserve a break once in a whil-Ugh!"

Nino tacked Fuutarou is the back. It was Nino wearing a striped swimsuit.

Fuutarou:"Y-Yo, Nino."

Nino:"Like, get this. My contacts got washed out so I can't see very well. Are you really even Fuu-kun? Let me take a closer look. Or rather, take a close look at me."

Fuutarou:"Maybe you should invest in some glasses like Itsuki?"

Nino:"Geh! You...dense idiot!"

Finally, Miku was walking towards Fuutarou in a blue and white swimsuit, with her hair down. Without saying anything, she handed Fuutarou a bottle.

Fuutarou:"What this, sunscreen?"

Miku began to undo her swimsuit.

Fuutarou:"What are you-!?"

Miku:"Won't you rub some on me?"

Itsuki:"How bold!"

Fuutarou:"Can't you ask someone else to-"
