Ice Queen Of The White Room

Pool and Reforming

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka

Ike: Wow, it's the pool!

A few days after the club fair, the long-awaited swimming class Ike and the others were excited about finally arrived. The anticipation was almost palpable among the students, especially Ike, who couldn't contain his excitement.

Without trying to hide his enthusiasm, Ike stood up. The group headed toward the indoor swimming pool, and I followed stealthily from the back. Or so I thought.

Ike: Let's go together, Ayanokoji.

Me: Eh? Uh, s-sure.

I hesitated at Ike's invitation but quickly followed them to the locker rooms, feeling a bit out of place but curious nonetheless.

As we entered, Sudou began changing his clothes without a hint of shyness. His well-built body from years of playing basketball was evident. Compared to the other boys in the class, he looked particularly strong, his muscles toned and defined.

The students wrapped themselves in bath towels, but Sudou stood there in only his underwear, completely unfazed. In that semi-nude state, he took out his swimsuit from his bag. I spoke up without thinking.

Me: Sudou, don't you feel embarrassed?

Sudou: No, I try to change as quickly as possible. If you try to hide yourself, you become the center of attention.

You can say that again. Someone who tries to change stealthily in a locker room would probably be made fun of, and Sudou seemed to understand that well.

Sudou: All right, let's go.

Sudou left the locker rooms, his confidence evident in his stride. I finished changing as well, feeling a bit more self-conscious.

Ike: This school's really the best! It's even better than a city pool!

Ike, now wearing swimming trunks, shouted after seeing the 50-meter pool. His eyes sparkled with excitement.

The water looked crystal clear and undisturbed because it was an indoor pool. The facility was immaculate, with state-of-the-art equipment and a pristine environment. It was a far cry from any pool I'd seen before.

Ike: Where are the girls? Are they not here yet?

Before going to the changing rooms, most of the boys wagered on the girls' breast sizes. They seemed even more interested after putting money at stake. The conversation was crude, but it was a reality of teenage curiosity and immaturity.

Of course, some boys refused to participate, like Hirata, whose sense of decency prevailed. But what surprised me the most was that Sudou refused too. His friends were naturally confused by his behavior, and since the boys didn't hide this activity well enough, Sudou's refusal to participate earned him some respect from the girls.

This change isn't that surprising once you realize that he has been spending time with Suzune recently. It seems her reform project is going well. He also seems to keep his distance from his two friends, who were notorious for their mischief.

Anyway, back to Ike being a pervert.

Ike looked for the girls, sniffing the air like a dog. His exaggerated actions drew some laughs but also a few disapproving looks.

Yamauchi: They take a while to change, after all.

Ike: Hey, what would happen if I suddenly jumped into the girls' locker room?
