Wish Into My World

Pool Time... yay

Miri's PoV

The girls weren't able to reserve any nearby pools, which deeply upset them. Luckily Yaoyorozu suggested that we could use the pool at her house. Well, luckily for those who actually wanted to go.

For some reason, Yu wanted so badly to go swimsuit shopping with Ashido, and so who was I to stop her?

Now here I am swimsuit shopping with Jiro instead.

We push aside all of the two-piece suits without a second thought. Unfortunately, most of the store is filled with the two-piece swimming suits, so us two are forced to shop in a corner of the store, where the one pieces live.

Jiro finds one she likes—a black and purple one with the sides exposed and tied together with strings. I turn a blind eye to the padded chest area. As she goes to try it on, I continue my search for the suit of my dreams. I didn't exactly get to bring many of my belongings to this world when I was suddenly transported, and that includes pool clothes.

One catches my eye. It's a simple two-colored choice. The top half is translucent and back-less, with a part that wraps around the chest, a soft shade of white. The bottom is just grey. As I'm putting it on, my phone rings. It's from Yu, so of course I pick it up.

"Yu? I'm trying on my suit right now, are you still shopping?" I place my phone on a bench so I can change while talking to her.

"MIRI!" She completely ignores my question. "I SWEAR- YOU'D BETTER NOT BE GETTING A ONE-PIECE!"

I lower the volume of the call because I'm sure everyone in the store could hear her, despite her not even being on speaker. I think for a moment before answering. I don't exactly feel like arguing with her right now, so I hope she'll forgive me for this later...

"Of course, Yu," I nervously laugh, checking myself out in the mirror. "I'm getting this cute two-piece swimsuit, you'll love it!"

I can hear as she breathes a sigh of relief. "Phew. I'm so proud of you! The guys will be in awe once they see you!" She hangs up, and I laugh it off.

Jiro and I leave the changing rooms at the same time and go to pay for the suits we bought. As we walk out with each of us holding a bag, she says to me, "I know that you didn't get a two piece. Why'd you say that to Yu?"

"Well, if I told her I didn't want a two piece, she spend an hour trying to convince me. It really would be a waste of time." I explain, waving my hand around as I speak.

She nods, then holds up the index finger of her free hand. "You seem awfully calm, even though Yu implied that the guys in our class will be there too."

I blinked, not entirely comprehending what she just said. Then it struck me, and her words over our phone call ran through my head.

"The guys will be in awe once they see you!"

First my peaceful weekend was ruined, but hey, bonding with the girls? Not that bad. But being in a swimming suit with male classmates who are also half naked? I was raised better than this.

I drag my free hand down my face. "But they said it would be the girls of Class 1A," I groan.

Jiro chuckles. "Well, now I'm sure you're ten times gladder you got a one-piece."

"But now Yu is ten times more likely to kill me."

All of the girls meet at the gate of Yaoyorozu's estate. I blink a few times, just to make sure I'm not imagining things. The gate itself is more impressive than my real house! It seems the others are in awe, too. We ring a bell-looking thing with a speaker and hear Yaoyorozu's voice come out of it.
