b2) I'm glad you came!!
b3) Calm down, // I had some free time is all.
panel) And don't make up nicknames for me.

page 3

b1) Well now, standing here won't do us any good. // Since you're here to observe, lets go to the pool.
b2) okay?
b3) Huh?

page 4

b1) What's going on? Why are you here?
b2) That's none of your business.
b3) Now get away from me.
b4) Actually, it is his business.
b5) Excuse me?
b6) Michiru is also a member of the swim team.
b7) huh?

page 5

b1) You're joking right?
b2) No, I'm not.
b3) Wh-wh-wh-wh
b4) What's with that face?
b5) I bet you have some sick ulterior motives...
b6) Where did that come from!?
b7) Oh, what's this...
b8) You all know each other.

page 6

b1) You have some free time today right?
b2) Yeah, well... I guess you could say that.
b3) Since you have the time, why don't you swim too?
b4) I'll lend you a swimsuit.
b5) Damn, I didn't expect this...

page 7

b1) S-sure...
b2) I'll take you up on that offer for a little...
b3) Good, then let's get started!!
b4) Huuuuuhh...
sign) Locker room
b5) I would never have guessed...
b6) That they were in the same club.
b7) And those 2 seem kind of...
b8) Aida-san.

page 8

b1) Y-yes?
b2) I've left a swimsuit and towel over here for you.
b3) Oh, thanks... um... sensei?
b4) You don't have to be formal like that with me, I'm not a teacher.
b5) Just call me coach Aoki.
b6) When you're done changing, come straight to the pool.
b7) Y-yes.

page 9

b1) hmmm // he's taking the practice seriously.
b2) I can roughly guess the reason he joined the swim team.
b3) I don't have the confidence to stand in front of those two...
b4) sigh...
b5) I wonder what's taking Mako-chan so long?

page 10

b1) It pains me to say this, but all I could do was eat her dust on the track.
panel1) Haruka...
panel2) Okay then...

page 11

b1) Oh.
b2) Here she comes.
b3) Th-thanks for allowing me to swim.
b4) No problem. // But you shouldn't be so up tight, just go have some fun.
b5) You in a bikini at poolside is too damn bright!!
b6) Mako-chan,
b7) here you go.

page 12

b1) I was told to do the same leg exercise you're doing.
b2) Are you also lead in water?
b3) Why would you think that? I can swim normally, thank you.
b4) It doesn't even look like you can float.
b5) What's that supposed to mean?
b6) Sorry to burst your bubble,
b7) but unlike you, I can swim 25 meters.
b8) Really?
b9) That's so cool...

page 13

b1) Hey,
b2) is it fun doing things like this?
b3) Yeah it is.
b4) By the way, why did you join the swim team?
b5) Because I wanted to swim the way Haruka-chan does.
b6) I don't want to ever regret not being able to swim.
b7) hmm,
b8) so that's how you feel.

page 14

b1) What's with me? Why do I feel so... lonely?
b2) I need to get a clear answer.
b3) I'm only asking this out of curiosity, so don't read anything into it okay.
b4) What?
b5) What's your relationship with Izumi?
b6) Whaaa?
b7) I just want to know, so answer.
b8) Now, how should I put this...
b9) What? Are you to already going out?
b0) Huh!? // Get serious, like that'll ever happen!!

page 15

b1) What, so you weren't?
b2) What's this?
b3) Why did I just feel relieved just now?
b4) There was something very surprising that happened after I started swimming.
b5) What happened?
b6) I'm not sure if I can put it into words properly...

page 16

b1) But this is probably the very first time I've gotten this serious about something.

page 17

b1) And because of that, when we have pool time in gym class, I'll be able to beat you.
b2) Wha...
b3) What was that!!?
b4) I dare you to say that again!
b5) There's no way in hell I'd lose to someone with zero athletic ability like you!!
b6) I've decided!!
b7) I won't beat around the bush anymore!!

page 18

b1) I'll begin today, right now, and from here on!!
b2) Coach Aoki.

b2) I'll join.

b4) R-really?
b5) I'll be seeing a lot of you now Izumi-san.
b6) And I'm happy to have you here.
