Chapter 38: Pool Class (Part 2)
"Come on, let’s go."
I was practically dragged along by Yuna as we headed toward the girls’ changing room. From inside, I could already hear the cheerful voices of the girls, and part of me was desperately wishing I could turn back.
Without paying any attention to my hesitation, Yuna opened the door and pulled me in by the hand.
"…E-Excuse me."
I followed right behind her and stepped into the girls’ changing room.
The interior was pretty barebones. There were just some built-in lockers and a sink long enough for a few people to use side by side. Aside from that, only a couple of benches were scattered around. The room felt damp and dim, with hardly any sunlight coming in.
And that somewhat cramped space was packed with girls, so much so that the sugary scent of their presence was nearly suffocating.
No one was actually naked in the changing room—which, now that I thought about it, made total sense. Even among the guys, only a few jokers stripped all the way down during changing.
Some girls had already changed and were in their swimsuits. Others had their uniforms half off. Some were wriggling under wrap towels while changing. A few were chatting with their friends while wearing skirts on the bottom and just bras on top… Seeing the glimpses of underwear or bare skin through open uniforms gave me a bit of a rush, but… if this was the level of exposure I had to deal with, I could probably power through.
『…Come on, stop staring and get changed already.』
Yuna gave me a telepathic nudge to start changing. I looked over and saw she had already unbuttoned her uniform and was holding her swimsuit.
Panicked, I reached into my swim bag and pulled out the school swimsuit, holding it up in front of me. It was the typical one-piece type.
『…How are you even supposed to wear this?』
Well, obviously, I needed to step into it first. But to do that, I had to take off my panties. And thinking about having to get the straps over my shoulders too… did that mean I had to get completely naked?
But… no one else here was naked.
『…Ah. I guess I just need to take off the bottom half. That way, my shirt will still cover me. No problem.』
I took off my blazer and skirt, folding them and placing them neatly into the locker. Then, pressing my blouse down in front of my crotch with one hand so nothing showed, I used the other to slip down my underwear. After that, I carefully pulled one foot and then the other out of them.
『…There. All good.』
But… I could feel eyes on me.
Just as I picked up my underwear to fold it, I noticed the stares and froze, startled.
『…W-What?』
I tilted my head slightly, trying to read the room.
Rustle…
It felt like the air around me rippled, and I flinched instinctively.
If I listened closely, I could hear hushed whispers:
“…I feel like I’m awakening to something dangerous.”
“That’s… criminal…”
"Alice, you’re dressed awfully provocatively, aren’t you?"
The one who spoke to me was Fumika.
She had already finished changing into her swimsuit. Her trademark ponytail was tucked into her swim cap, giving her a very different vibe. Though she was widely known—and self-admittedly—a bookworm, her slender, toned body looked more like that of a professional swimmer. She looked… kind of cool.
"I think I’m just changing like normal, though…?"
“When putting on a swimsuit, most girls keep their skirt on while taking off their underwear, you know?”
Eh, really…?
“W-Well, my uniform’s a bit bigger than everyone else’s! So just the blouse is enough for me!”
“…It might’ve looked like you were covered, but your cute little butt was peeking out, you know.”
“Wha—!? Wh-Why were you staring so hard…?”
“Because you stood out, obviously… Everyone was looking at you.”
Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked around the room. The other girls were all suddenly avoiding eye contact, hurriedly getting back to changing like nothing had happened.
『Why are you the one getting looked at…?』
Yuna, who had been watching while changing without pausing her hands, sent a telepathic message in exasperation.
Ugh—seriously!
Yuna could’ve at least told me that ahead of time!
