Aren’t You Too Sweet Salt-God Sato-San? - V2 chapter 1.8
“In food it’s famous for shellfish, iwagaki oyster, abalone, turban shell etc..”
“Okay Koharu! I have decided on iwagaki oyster! I want iwagaki oyster around fist size as a souvenir……”
” I will but rather than that, what should I do about swimsuits!? I think school swimsuits……..”
I was about to say “maybe i should try a school swimsuit?” but I stopped myself from continuing.
Because the way my mom and dad were looking at me was so cold that I couldn’t believe they were looking at their own daughter.
“O-of course it’s not good……..”
“I’m glad. I was about to be shocked by my own daughter……”
What a terrible thing to say.
Certainly, if I think about it, a school swimsuit is impossible.
Although not alone, it will be the first time I will go to beach with Oshio-kun.
But…..
“I don’t have a swimsuit other than a school one….”
“Of course, you don’t have any friend who will invite you to sea after all”
That just hit the core. How can my mom shoot out words that cut directly into my heart?
“M-mother, help me with choosing a swimsuit…”
“I don’t want to, I can’t take care of it for so long. Have you ever seen a second year highschool asking help from her mother to pick up a swimsuit?”
“U-u-ugh….”
I was so speechless at my mother’s words that instead of words, tears flowed out from my eyes.
She is right, she is completely right. But better than anyone, my mother should have known that I don’t have a bit of what’s called “sense.”
“What should I do…..”
It’s a crisis. A big crisis.
I crouched down with my head in my hands and let out a low groan.
Not sure if he couldn’t withstand me seeing like that, my father picked up nearby pet-bottle of soda and muttered in low voice,
“……if I’m not wrong, I think I heard one of Koharu’s friend have clothing store”
“…… Mayo-san”
That’s right! I have the contact number of fashion master•Mayo-san!
It would be definitely fine if I just ask Mayo-san to help me choose a swimsuit!
aah, this is the first time I have seen my father so reliable!
“Father……..”
“Pay attention to accidents in the sea, ok?”
“Um-um”
I could still see some hope!
I stood up triumphantly and smiled,
“…. thank you very much farther but honestly, I was a bit disgusted that you noticed the problem of swimsuit earlier than me”
“…I see”
“Anyway, thank you! And good night!”
Leaving behind those words, I ran towards my room to contact Mayo-san again.
At the same time, in the living room….
“Cold!! Hey papa!! It’s spilling! It’s spilling all over the place!(soda water)”
I could hear my mother’s words.
♠️
“Rinka-chan, will you go to the beach this weekend?”
cardiopulmonary arrest(heart stopped beating suddenly), it’s not an exaggeration to say that.
In fact, right after hearing these words from Oshio-san through my smartphone, my heart, which was beating so loudly, stopped.
In my mouth, which was churning like a goldfish, a number of words disappeared without even being able to form a shape.
What, no way! What’s with that development? After love consolation and Kabedon(accident), now sea? My mind was unable to catch up with the quick development.
It’s like a revolving lantern, the memories of the past are running through my head.
Well, in the revolving memories, nine out of ten are all about Oshio-san which makes me worried in one corner of my mind that maybe I like Oshio-san too much.
“By the way, I’m also thinking of inviting Sato-San, Ren and also Shizuku-san and Mayo-san….”
“That sounds great”
Of course it is, said another person inside my head.
…… it’s not like I’m disappointed or something, ok? I didn’t have other expectations either.
It’s just, because of the aforementioned kabedon, my mind has turned so strange that even the movie I watched after didn’t enter inside my head at all, so how should I say……
Well in short, it’s kabedon’s fault. It’s all because of kabedon.
It’s not that I’m so excited because Oshio-san called me or anything like that.
“Anyway, that’s the story, will Rinka-chan also come?”
Inside of my mind is becoming soggy but there’s one thing I’m sure of.
“….I definitely want to go”
There was no way I was going to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“Haa”, I heard Oshio-san’s short sigh of relief from the other side of my smartphone.
“I’m glad then I will contact you once again later”
“Ok, I understand. Good night”
After Oshio-san’s”good night”, the call was cut off. I laughed secretly.
“Fufu….”
I could almost guess what that sigh in the end was about.
It must be that “I’m glad I wasn’t rejected” or “I’m glad I wasn’t hated due to an earlier incident.”
Really, it’s something optimistic.
“It’s the only time I can afford to be complacent.”
It’s because I have made up my mind.
It’s because I will be in the ring faster then Koharu and of course before Oshio-san.
I should strike the hammer when the iron is hot.
Soon, Oshio-san will be unable to treat me like a child. He won’t be able to pass me off with a brisk smile or pat me on the head without any ulterior motive.
I will definitely make him conscious of me.
“I often hear about change of heart”
I immediately started my preparation without any delay.
Specifically, I picked up my phone and sent a message to that person.
“Mayo-san, please help me choose the swimsuit”
