Taichi | …Tasuku-san! You should teach him! |
Citron | That’s right! You can’t leave him like this! |
Kazunari | Tax, you’ll support this love, won’tcha!? |
| No, you absolutely gotta!! |
|
Izumi | (The three of them are fervently urging Tasuku-san…) |
Tasuku | Calm down, guys. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to teach him well, but I never said I wouldn’t, alright? |
Taichi | So you mean… |
Tasuku | I’ll help him as much as time allows. |
Boy | Wait, really!? Score! Thank you so much! |
Kazunari | That’s Tax for ya~! |
Taichi | You’re the man, Tasuku-san! |
Tsuzuru | I’m sure you’ll improve a lot if Takato-san teaches you. |
Homare | I concur. Isn’t that great, young man? |
Kaito | Yeah! Ah, you can call me Kaito! |
| I’ll do my very best! |
Citron | Kaito! |
| We’ll help and give you lots of support too! |
| |
| *splash* |
Kaito | …Pwah! |
Tasuku | Alright, that was good. |
|
Tsuzuru | Although Takato-san’s pulling him by hand, he’s improved tremendously. |
Izumi | Yeah. Kaito-kun’s really motivated, but Tasuku-san’s teaching technique seems easy to pick up too. |
Tasuku | It’s not good to do too much at once. |
| Let’s take a short break. |
Kaito | Got it. |
Tasuku | After our break, how about I let go and you can practice without my support? |
Kaito | O-okay, I’ll try…! |
Taichi | Hey, hey. As we’re restin’, I wanna hear all about Kaito-kun’s love story! |
Kaito | EH!? |
Citron | Yes~. I want to know what kind of girl you fell for, Kaito. |
Kaito | E-erm… where do I even start… |
Kazunari | Well, what’s their name? |
Kaito | Ah, it’s Karen-chan. |
| She’s so nice and just the cutest. |
Citron | Karen! What an adorable name! |
Homare | I recall you said you wished to learn how to swim because of this girl… |
| And why is that? |
| Does she like people who can swim? |
Taichi | Is she into something that specific? |
Kaito | You’re not wrong… |
Taichi | Seriously!? |
Kaito | Karen-chan’s an amazing swimmer herself. |
| There’s a gap between her regular self and when she swims. It’s just the coolest! |
Izumi | Oh, that sounds lovely…! |
Kaito | Right! |
| That’s why I fell for her… |
| But I heard from Karen-chan that her type is someone who can swim just like her… |
Kazunari | Ehh! Straight from her mouth!? |
Kaito | That’s what she said when I asked her what type she liked… |
| And I’m the type who sinks like a stone… |
Tasuku | So that’s why you want to learn to swim? |
Tsuzuru | Makes sense… |
Citron | Oh, how demoted. |
Tsuzuru | By that you mean devoted. |
Kaito | I wanted to learn how to swim, but I also didn’t want anyone I know to see me practicing so desperately. |
| So, I came to this pool that’s a bit far away from my hometown to practice. |
Taichi | Ahh, I totally get feeling kinda embarrassed being seen by people that know you~. |
Homare | However, there is absolutely no shame in working hard. |
| In fact, it is something you should take pride in. |
Tasuku | …Let’s rest for another minute and then get back to work? |
Kaito | Okay! |
