Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Wet Stick
This is a newly opened swimming pool.
The resort calls it "bringing you a cool coastal experience" and has set up a large rest area next to the swimming pool, which is equipped with many summer vacation-style lounge chairs.
…some even wore floral Hawaiian-style shirts.
Momozawa Airi found an empty recliner in the corner and plopped down. "Right here, it's much quieter in the corner."
As she spoke, she unscrewed the cap of the sunscreen and carefully squeezed out the estimated amount into the palm of her left hand.
"Let's squeeze this much in for now, it should be enough."
Momozawa Airi muttered to herself and looked up at Matsuda Jinpei.
"Zhen Ping, you can use as much as you want. Use as much as you want."
She generously stuffed the sunscreen into Jinpei Matsuda's hand and waved her hand generously.
"After all, you show more skin than me."
Momozawa Airi thought she was hiding it, but in fact she glanced at Matsuda Jinpei's upper body and made a subtle comment.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
He lowered his eyes to look at Momozawa Airi who was applying sunscreen on her arms.
She lowered her head carefully, moving her left hand over her right arm, slowly and evenly spreading the milky white sunscreen until the original color of the sunscreen could no longer be seen.
Not long after, Momozawa Airi transferred the sunscreen in the palm of her left hand to her right hand and began to slowly apply it to her left arm.
Matsuda Jinpei endured for a long time, but finally asked dryly, "Didn't you ask me to help you put on sunscreen?"
"Hmm? You just need to help me put the sunscreen on my back."
She raised her eyes to look at Matsuda Jinpei in confusion, her tone very natural.
After applying sunscreen on her left arm, Momozawa Airi began to apply sunscreen on her legs.
"I can clean the rest myself—leaving no corner untouched."
Momozawa Airi poked her leg and explained seriously.
She applied a little force and used her fingertips to poke a shallow indentation on the soft thigh.
Momozawa Airi didn't care and continued to poke it lightly.
A depression appears.
The depression disappears.
Appeared again.
Disappeared again.
"Do you want to help me clean other places?"
Matsuda Jinpei's gaze quickly swept across the depression.
...looks so soft.
He tilted his head slightly unnaturally and coughed softly: "...S-What nonsense are you saying all of a sudden, idiot?"
Momozawa Airi narrowed her eyes: "Huh."
Momozawa Airi clicked her tongue twice: "Jinping, there's something wrong with you."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Jinpei Matsuda chose to ignore the question indifferently.
He sat down on an empty lounge chair nearby and started applying sunscreen on himself.
The action was very quick and it was done in no time.
When he looked up, he found Momozawa Airi staring at him with sharp eyes.
"Zhenping-chan, your sunscreen process is so perfunctory."
“…Just apply it on.”
"Spread it evenly, Jinpei-chan!" Momozawa Airi clenched her fists in frustration, "Otherwise it will turn dark!"
She straightened up from the recliner nimbly, stretched out her arm, and moved closer to his arm, chattering away.
"You must not be using enough sunscreen. Look, you're one shade darker than me... maybe two shades darker."
Momozawa Airi looked at the two people's arms with different skin colors, sighed and shook her head.
"Don't be so perfunctory when you wipe it for me."
Matsuda Jinpei: "...It's you who's too pale!!"
Momozawa Airi: "Hehehe, I was waiting for you to say this =v=, thank you for the compliment."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
*
Satisfied with what she wanted to hear, Airi Momozawa happily plopped down on the recliner: "Then please help me apply sunscreen. Don't be so perfunctory like you were just now."
She paused, then added meticulously, "Every corner must be cleaned thoroughly, or I won't give you a five-star rating, Technician Matsuda."
By the way, there is also a sudden role-playing.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
After saying that, Momozawa Airi closed her eyes and happily looked forward to the SPA-like service.
It’s so nice not to have to do it myself—
"Got it." She heard Matsuda Jinpei's nonchalant voice from above her head, "I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Then there was the sound of the sunscreen cap being unscrewed.
The moment the hot fingertips with cool sunscreen touched her back, Momozawa Airi subconsciously shrank her body.
...I'm a little unaccustomed to this kind of physical contact.
She buried her head and could not see the trajectory of the other person's fingertips, but just based on the subtle feeling transmitted from the back, she could outline a slowly moving downward trajectory in her mind.
The vision is temporarily offline, but the sense of touch becomes clearer.
Perhaps he heard her words like "don't be perfunctory", Matsuda Jinpei moved very slowly, as if he wanted to apply the sunscreen to every corner.
His strength was not gentle, and it was obvious that he rarely... or had never done this for others.
Wear sunscreen or something.
When the other person's warm breath touched her neck, Momozawa Airi inexplicably felt a comfortable massage.
She pursed her lips and forced herself to suppress the urge to hum.
The cool sunscreen seemed to be stained with the warmth of the other person's fingertips and passed on to her.
The noisy voices in the swimming pool seemed to be muted for a moment, and the only sound in her ears was the sound of fingertips rubbing against her skin.
[…Slippery.]
Matsuda Jinpei's low voice rang out without warning.
At the same time, Momozawa Airi happened to feel that the trajectory map gradually spread to the waist area.
"Because, because I have sunscreen..."
She uttered the sound in a trance, venting the discomfort that had been suppressed and unable to hum, and the ending tone changed involuntarily.
"What are you talking about?" It was not until Jinpei Matsuda's voice sounded that Momozawa Airi realized that what she had just said was what the other person was thinking.
…I answered without even thinking, hmm.
Momozawa Airi was stunned for a few seconds, unable to find a reasonable excuse to get away with it. She gave up and tried to stand up straight: "...Nothing! It's okay, it's okay!! I think the sun protection is already perfect!"
As soon as the upper body was lifted a little, it was firmly held down by a hand covered with slippery sunscreen. Then the trajectory that was frozen for a moment slowly spread to the waist.
"You said it yourself—sunscreen should be applied everywhere."
It's really white.
The two voices with malicious smiles sounded at the same time, and Momozawa Airi couldn't tell which one was the real voice for a moment.
She could only silently suppress the urge to complain and tried to resist with her own actions.
I can’t move at all.
The opponent, with a huge difference in strength and an advantageous posture, could easily suppress her as she fluttered like a chick.
[Very thin.]
"I, I don't want you to apply sunscreen for me anymore. I want to apply it myself."
Momozawa Airi lay there with tears in her eyes, feeling a subtle sense of discomfort all over her body.
She couldn't explain the feeling, but her instincts called out the urge to escape.
Whether it was the voice of reality or the hidden voice of her heart, it made her feel——
Not good.
Not good.
Momozawa Airi struggled weakly for a while, and heard the sound of Matsuda Jinpei unscrewing the cap of the sunscreen again.
"Don't move."
Matsuda Jinpei said this without mercy.
A new cool touch appeared again, and soon it was slowly replaced by a subtle warmth.
"It's not over yet."
…
"...Technician Matsuda, your technique is terrible! I'm going to give you a bad review! Aa ...
"What nonsense! It's just a red spot at most and it will disappear soon."
"Bad review, bad review, bad review! Hurry up and apply it—it'll take a while before we can go swimming!!"
"Tsk, got it."
“…”
"Why are you silent?"
“…”
"Is my movement gentle enough? Is that not enough?"
“…Stop talking and apply it quickly.”
*
After forcing Jinpei Matsuda to perform the act of "applying sunscreen on her own back", Momozawa Airi finally got her revenge.
After waiting on the shore for a while and doing some warm-up exercises, Momozawa Airi felt that time was almost up and nodded: "We can go swimming now."
She gave a cold look to Matsuda Jinpei, who looked at her with a look of "Why are you angry again?", and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Momozawa Airi made a vow: "I won't talk to you anymore."
Matsuda Jinpei feigned confusion: "Aren't you talking to me?"
Momozawa Airi glared at him angrily: "...I said I won't talk to you anymore!"
Matsuda Jinpei laughed and said in a long voice: "You are still talking."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She glanced at the water level at the edge of the pool and saw that it was shallow.
Momozawa Airi licked the corner of her lips, smiled sweetly without showing any emotion, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Jin Ping-chan is really full of witty remarks. I hope you will be more careful next time you fall in love."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Momozawa Airi suddenly put her hand close to Matsuda Jinpei's chest, trying to push him down.
"?"
Feeling a breeze blowing in front of him, Matsuda Jinpei, who had been practicing boxing for many years, subconsciously raised his hand, steadily received the opponent's move, and counterattacked.
Momozawa Airi's wrist was suddenly firmly grasped by Matsuda Jinpei, and she was unable to retract her strength for a moment, and her whole body fell towards him.
Her mind went blank and she could only watch herself and Jinpei Matsuda falling towards the swimming pool.
“Ahhhhhhhhh—”
Her shrill screams echoed all around.
Plop.
Plop.
Water splashes.
Click.
Click.
The water surface slowly calmed down again.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Fell into the water together.
Airi Momozawa stood in the water with a wooden face, and raised her hand to wipe away the water droplets that kept dripping from her face.
“…” Harming others will eventually harm yourself.
Momozawa Airi glanced at Matsuda Jinpei, who was standing beside her and didn't know if he had reacted, then raised her hand and poured water on him, trying to put a big pot on him: "Why did you pull me!!"
Matsuda Jinpei reacted quickly, dodging the blow almost the moment she raised her hand and casually threw the pot back at him: "Huh? You pushed me first, didn't you?"
"Matsuda-senpai!! Can't you give way to the junior girl?! She just bullies me all day long!!"
"What are you talking about, idiot—if you can, don't run!"
Just as they were about to start their first local water fight in the swimming pool, a pair of children slowly swam by.
The little girl glanced at them and asked innocently, "Shinichi, do you know what the big brothers and sisters are doing?"
The little boy raised his eyelids and said in a very cocky tone, "Couples are flirting. Let's go, Lan. Didn't you say you wanted me to teach you a new swimming style?"
They continued to swim away slowly.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Momozawa Airi silently gave up the handful of water she had accumulated in her hand, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Matsuda Jinpei tilted his head awkwardly and cleared his throat. "Hey, shall we go swimming over there?"
He raised his hand and pointed to the deep water in the distance.
The shallow water was crowded with children, while the deep water was less crowded, making it convenient for swimming.
Momozawa Airi looked up at him and said, "I can't swim."
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
He forgot his awkwardness and turned his head sharply: "Huh?"
Momozawa Airi pouted and said, "I was planning to play in the shallow water. Why don't you go swim in the deep water by yourself?"
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
He paused, then suddenly supported himself on the shore with his hands, and with a little effort he easily got ashore.
The set of movements is extremely smooth and flowing.
Matsuda Jinpei stood on the shore, looking down at Momozawa Airi who was standing stupidly in the swimming pool: "I'll go get you something, don't run around."
Drops of water dripped down his jawline, and he wiped them away nonchalantly with his hand.
“…”
Momozawa Airi was once again caught off guard by the visual shock.
Countless drops of water flowed down along the lines of Jinpei Matsuda's body.
Neck.
chest.
Abdominal muscles.
waistline.
Then--
Momozawa Airi suddenly dived into the water.
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
He looked at Momozawa Airi, whose head was submerged in the water, with a bewildered expression and asked directly, "Are you having cramps?"
Then he looked like he was going to jump into the water to rescue her.
"……without!!"
Momozawa Airi quickly raised her head, her entire face wet.
She closed her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "I, I know, you go ahead and do it."
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
After a while, there was no more sound from the shore.
Momozawa Airi opened her eyes.
...Not good.
This is not good—
*
Five minutes later.
Airi Momozawa had a little yellow duck swimming ring put on her face by Jinpei Matsuda without any expression.
...It was the kind of swimming ring that she had said on the phone that she would rent for Jinpei Matsuda.
"..." She glanced down, "That's it? How childish."
Matsuda Jinpei smiled and said meaningfully: "It suits you very well."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She rolled her eyes at him and suddenly splashed water on his face.
The defenseless Matsuda Jinpei: "?"
He couldn't defend himself and subconsciously closed his eyes.
After wiping the water off his face, Jinpei Matsuda opened his eyes and found that Momozawa Airi had already swam a long distance towards the deep water.
"Zhen Ping, you're such a wimp—you're so slow—"
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
He adjusted his breathing decisively and swam closely after him.
After a while, he finally swam to Momozawa Airi and found her standing there in a daze, staring at something not far away.
Matsuda Jinpei, who was about to retaliate, hesitated and stopped what he was doing. He deliberately asked provocatively, "Why are you so stupid all day long?"
He thought Momozawa Airi would get angry and fight with him as usual, but she just responded perfunctorily and continued to stare at the distance seriously.
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
He followed Momozawa Airi's gaze and looked into the distance.
There were a few boys standing in the swimming pool and talking.
"Did you see that black-haired boy?" Momozawa Airi suddenly spoke up, quietly raising her finger and pointing. "He just swam a freestyle, and his strokes were super beautiful."
"That very tall boy next to you also looks great doing backstroke."
"The boy swimming breaststroke on the other side also has a very beautiful swimming style."
“…”
After she rattled off a bunch of comments on swimming styles, she slapped the water excitedly.
“And they all have great figures.”
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Matsuda Jinpei: “…………”
He watched expressionlessly as Momozawa Airi slowly moved to the railing at the edge of the swimming pool, took off her little yellow duck swimming ring, and floated on the water while holding the railing with both hands.
"Inspired by them, I decided to learn to swim from now on."
Momozawa Airi began to fetch water with great effort, doing it very seriously.
Matsuda Jinpei: “………………”
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Considering that they were in deep water, for safety reasons, Matsuda Jinpei forced himself to suppress the urge to teach Momozawa Airi a lesson.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a yellow object swaying and floating away into the distance.
Jinpei Matsuda turned around unhappily and found that it was Momozawa Airi's little yellow duck swimming ring.
"..." He gritted his teeth helplessly, "Hold on steady, be careful."
Then he turned sideways to pick up the little yellow duck.
"It's very stable. It definitely won't...eh eh eh eh?"
After flapping her arms a few times, Momozawa Airi felt her hands were a little sore, so she let go of one hand and tried to take a break.
As a result, the railing was too slippery and she lost her grip and sank into the water.
Momozawa Airi: "???"
"Jin Ping, save me, ahhhhhhhhhhh——"
At the moment when she was about to choke on the water, Momozawa Airi felt a strong hand holding her steadily underwater.
Matsuda Jinpei held the little yellow duck in one hand and Momozawa Airi in the other, and complained: "...Were you performing some kind of comedy this whole time?"
He casually threw the little yellow duck swimming ring on the shore, and also put his arm around Momozawa Airi.
"You take a rest first, we'll go to the shallow water later."
“Ahhhhh——”
Momozawa Airi, who was almost sinking, struggled frantically using her hands and feet, clinging to Matsuda Jinpei.
There was a lot of murmuring, not sure if it was from her mind or reality. Momozawa Airi had no energy to distinguish them. The only sound in her ears was the splashing water.
Although Matsuda Jinpei held her hand steadily, she still felt insecure and subconsciously wrapped her legs around his waist and held his neck tightly with her hands.
Trying to stick to the other person without any gaps.
“… I was scared to death.”
Momozawa Airi held onto the life-saving straw with lingering fear, shook her head, and tried to shake off the water on her face.
She slowly recovered and found that the life-saving straw seemed a little stiff.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Slow down...
Momozawa Airi looked at Matsuda Jinpei's face, which was very close to her, with a blank expression on her face. Her peripheral vision moved quietly downwards, taking in her current posture.
Very close-up sticking.
She even felt that she might have an 80% chance of being able to sense how effective the other person's exercise was.
"..." After the splashing water stopped and the whole person floated on the water, Momozawa Airi finally had the energy to distinguish the sound ringing in her ears.
I happened to hear two sentences.
[…So soft.]
[…It’s okay to stay in the deep water for a while.]
Momozawa Airi: "..."
good.
very good.
She was starting to stiffen now too.
