COTE: Surreal Experience

Chapter 4: Miku's Interest

Ayanokoji POV:

A week has passed since the entrance ceremony, and today was the day our swimming classes began.

The group faced the indoor swimming pool and I followed stealthily from behind.

We made our way into the locker rooms.

Sudo quickly started changing his clothes. His well-forged body was visible. Especially if you compared him to the others in the class, his body looks strong.

The students wrapped themselves with bath towels, but Sudo stood there in only his underwear. In that semi-nude state, he took out his swimsuit from his bag.

A moment later, he left the locker room. He was the first one out.

As the rest were changing, including myself, a conversation started.

"I can't wait! Only a bit more and we can see the girls in their swimsuit."

"Who do you think's going to win? Odds are towards Hasebe at the moment."

Odds? What are they talking about? Hasebe?

"Hey Ayanokōji, do you want to join the betting pool? It's only 1000 points to enter."

Ike approached me as I finished changing.

"Betting pool?"

In contrast to the excited atmosphere permeating most of the boys, I could only muster a confused expression.

"We're holding bets on who has the largest chest size among the girls?"

"Among the girls? You mean in the class? Or do you mean..."

"Obviously, the entire year. If we're talking about just the ones in Class D, it wouldn't be much of a betting pool. So, are you in?"

A betting pool for who has the biggest bust among the girls in our year, huh? A lot of the guys in the locker room were looking pretty excited, but none more so than Ike and Yamauchi.

"Yeah... I'm gonna pass."

I didn't really care about who has the biggest bust size among the girls. I might be a normal male teenager, complete with the hormones to go with being one, but I wasn't going to do something that would just cause me social suicide.

Besides, I wasn't going to do that to my very first friend Hasebe. I'm just a nobody in our class after all, and only Hasebe speaks to me on a daily basis.

There wasn't much I could do to stop them, but I could at least warn Hasebe.

Turning away from them and taking out my phone, I messaged her.

[Yamauchi and Ike are betting on the girls chest sizes, and most of the boys are joining in. They're using this swim class to rate you all, and I thought I should let you know.]

Only a few seconds later, she replied:

[Those goddamn perverts!! I knew they were acting suspicious in the morning! How did those degenerates even get into this school?!]
