I was dumped by my childhood friend, so I went to a shrine to ask God to give me a girlfriend. Then, God gave me a special curse of being liked by a beautiful Yandere girl!

Chapter 38 : Shopping for Swimsuits!

On a certain summer vacation morning, I, who had promised to go to the beach with Kotoko this weekend, was getting ready with my swimsuit. However…

“Hmm… Is it a bit tight?”

I pulled out the swimsuit from the drawer, but it seemed that either I had grown since last year, or the swimsuit had become considerably tighter. Especially around the hips, it was squeezing, and moving caused discomfort.

This… Do I need to go buy a new one? Thinking so, I took off the swimsuit and threw it in the trash.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

“How about we go together to buy swimsuits tomorrow? Mine from last year feels tight, especially around the chest.”

In the afternoon of that day, Kotoko and I were working on our summer vacation homework together in my room. We had planned to finish the homework as soon as possible so that we could fully enjoy the rest of our summer vacation together.

When I told Kotoko about my morning events, she suggested going to buy swimsuits together. However, I hesitated a bit about going with a girl to buy swimsuits.

After all, swimsuits are not that different from underwear in essence. While some people argue that there is a significant difference between underwear and swimsuits, saying things like “Because one is meant to be hidden under clothes, and the other is meant to be shown at the beach!” At least in terms of the amount of exposed skin, they are somewhat similar.

In essence, she was asking me to accompany her in choosing her own underwear. It was impossible not to feel nervous about this.

Seeing my awkwardness, Kotoko chuckled.

“Takemitsu-kun… Are you imagining something naughty right now?”

“Huh? No, uh… I’m not.”

I managed to deny it somehow, feeling the need to maintain my honesty as a person who values sincerity.

Kotoko laughed slyly and approached me. Then, she whispered in my ear.

“Shall I wear your favorite swimsuit, something sexy, for you?”

“Wha…?!”

I shivered at her words. As a man, the idea of your girlfriend wearing a swimsuit that you find appealing is undeniably alluring.

“Well, then~♡”

With a sly grin, Kotoko stared at me. Tomorrow might be quite challenging…

◇◇◇◇◇◇

The next day, Kotoko and I took a train to a sports goods store in the neighboring town. Once inside, we immediately headed for the swimsuit section.

My swimsuit was quickly chosen. Men’s swimsuits don’t vary much in design, and you just need to choose one that fits. I chose trunks and went into the fitting room to make sure they fit.

Kotoko recommended boxer briefs type swimsuits for me, but… I refused since wearing those would take some courage.

After entering the fitting room, I tried on the swimsuit over my clothes. Trying on a swimsuit directly on the skin is a big no. So, I tried it on over my clothes.

…Yeah, this should be fine. The price is reasonable too, so I’ll go with this.

After confirming that I had finished purchasing the swimsuit, Kotoko forcibly dragged me to the women’s swimsuit section.

“What should I choose?”

Kotoko happily browsed through the swimsuits. I nervously watched her. Since this section was only for women’s swimsuits, being a man here made my heart race. I almost felt like I shouldn’t be here.

Unable to bear it, I told Kotoko, “I’ll be in the break area,” and tried to leave, but she grabbed my wrist tightly. It seemed she wouldn’t allow me to leave.

Unable to help it, I decided to accompany her in choosing a swimsuit.

“How about this one~♡”

Kotoko selected one swimsuit from among many and pressed it against her body, showing it off to me. The one she chose was a white bikini, a sexy and conventional swimsuit with very little fabric coverage, consisting of a bra-type top and pant-type bottoms.

I tried to imagine Kotoko wearing that swimsuit. Certainly, it would suit her well with her attractive figure.

“It seems like you’re fond of it. Should I go with this?” Kotoko says, perhaps reading my expression.

“I, um… I think another swimsuit would suit you better, Kotoko,” I replied.

However, I vetoed that choice. The reason being that it was too sexy. Absolutely not!

“Well, how about this one?”

“Ugh, cough, cough,” I reacted, surprised and choked as I see the swimsuit she picked next. It turns out she chose a slingshot.

A slingshot is a V-shaped swimsuit with a considerably small amount of fabric. It’s named after a slingshot due to its fabric shape resembling that of a catapult.

“That’s absolutely no good!!!” I immediately object. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to put their girlfriend in something like that.

“Hmm? I thought you might like it since all the girls in your favorite book, ‘Gathering of Busty Beauties! — Midsummer Milky Festival!,’ were wearing this,” she says, laughing while looking at me. She knows. My preferences are clearly known to her. Kotoko apparently checked the contents of the book thoroughly before discarding it.

Well, I’m a man, so I do like sexy swimsuits. However, my personal taste and the swimsuit I want her to wear are different.

…Oh well. I decided to confess my true feelings to her.

“Hey, Kotoko. I don’t want you to wear swimsuits with too little fabric. Um, when we go to the beach, there will be other guys around, and I don’t want them to look at you like that. Sorry, I’m a bit of a small-minded guy.”

Upon hearing my words, Kotoko makes a surprised expression and hugs me.

“No, I should be the one apologizing. I only had thoughts about what kind of swimsuit would make you happy, and I didn’t consider your feelings, Takemitsu-kun. But at the same time, I’m happy. It means you care about me.”

It seems Kotoko has understood and accepted my persuasion. I’m relieved; this way, she can avoid wearing a sexy swimsuit.

“So, I’ll only wear this in front of you, okay?” she says with a smile.

“Huh?”

She said that and smirked. It seems like she managed to avoid wearing a sexy swimsuit in public, but not in front of me. Well, can my self-control endure it?

In the end, she seems to have purchased a swimsuit that complies with my request — something cute with as much coverage as possible. “It’s a secret until we go to the beach!” she said, not revealing the specifics of the swimsuit.

“I’m looking forward to the beach,” she said while smiling happily.
