shishi gets rejected

it's just a misunderstanding

"...How do you know my name?"

pretty reasonable to be a bit creeped out 

Haruka had risen and swam to edge of the pool, he climbed out of the pool and circled around towards shishi

he was now standing behind shishi, she was still hunched over on the steps

her hands now frozen and almost supporting her face

she stay in one place, not turning around 

she could hear water droplets dripping off Haruka and dropping on the tile

"i guessed" 

that's the best you could do shishi?

"..."

Haruka brushed it off just as she heard of his name from a competition, or something

"Ok."

"what"

"We can try again." he let out a quiet sigh

shishi's body jolted, glad to hear that

Haruka walked down the steps beside shishi

she watched every movement he made

honestly, what a weirdo.

as she watched him enter the pool she noticed another familiar glint 

that gold sparkle from earlier

5 foot tall life size gold plated 70 kg queen statue!!

she shifted her body forward instinctively 

Haruka raised his brow for a split second and then lunged forward to catch her.

shishi had not drowned. 

he set her back straight

"What was that?"

"5 foot tall life size gold plated 70 kg queen statue!!"

Haruka's eyebrows straightened together and his mouth hung slightly open at the remark.

his eyes narrowed

"What?"

"my 5 foot tall life size gold plated 70 kg queen statue!!"

shishi pointed behind him

he turned and looked in the direction, it really was 5 foot tall life size gold plated 70 kg queen statue

she was tucked away at the bottom of the deeper end of the pool, where Haruka was performing laps

"...That?"

"yes!!" 

"It was here when I arrived, but no one else knows where it came from."

"its mine"

"Why is it here?"

"idk"

"Well I can..."

he stopped talking suddenly

"what?"

Haruka shut his mouth and gazed to the side

he was thinking.

"Go and retrieve it."

"huh me?"
