After leaving the table tennis hall, the group first headed to the dining area to eat something. As expected, after some simple exercise, the already delicious food became even more delicious.
Fujiwara Chika played with her spoon, bored. "Where should we go next? The board game area, or the KTV, or the indoor amusement park?"
Uchiha Ryo picked up a map of the club building and said thoughtfully. "My suggestion is the indoor swimming pool on the third floor. If you don't want to go to the large one, we can rent a private one."
The third floor of the [GINZA Club] was a well-known indoor water park in the Ginza area. It not only had a large public area that required a ticket to enter, but also private areas that were not cheap.
As the only male present, Uchiha Ryo was already planning to rent out a private pool to swim with the girls. What a gentlemanly gesture!
However, Uchiha Ryo's gentlemanly idea was quickly rejected by the ladies.
"If you're not willing, you have to at least give a reason. Look at the [GINZA Club] introduction. It says it's a huge regret to come here and not go to the water park!"
Hayasaka Ai looked at Uchiha Ryo. She didn't actually want to refuse. But her swimsuit had already been seen in her home bathroom, so it wouldn't have any effect. And besides, there was a creature of Fujiwara Chika's level here...
So she chose to refuse!
Chitanda Eru also wanted to go swimming, but seeing that the other three didn't want to, there was nothing she could do.
Yukinoshita: "I didn't bring a swimsuit with me...."
Uchiha Ryo looked at the brochure and said, "There's a dedicated swimsuit store on the third floor. They have a wide variety of styles, no less than the Ginza commercial street."
Fujiwara Chika: "I hear the fee to rent a private pool isn't cheap. Even if we split it... my allowance isn't enough for that kind of splurge."
Uchiha Ryo patted his chest. "I'll cover the entire rental fee."
Fujiwara Chika: "That's so embarrassing.... But since Uchiha-kun is willing, I guess we have no choice~ Let's go swimming, everyone!"
They got up and headed to the third floor. After all, coming here today was Fujiwara Chika's spontaneous idea. No one, including her, had brought a swimsuit, so they could only buy them at the swimsuit store.
After choosing his swim trunks from the men's section, Uchiha Ryo turned and went to the entrance of the women's swimsuit store.
Even the naturally gentlemanly Uchiha Ryo felt a trace of hesitation at the store's entrance. If I just walk in openly like this, I'll probably be mistaken for a pervert, right?
"What are you doing here?"
Near the entrance, Yukinoshita, who was picking out a swimsuit, saw Uchiha Ryo standing outside.
"I've already picked mine. What about you?"
Yukinoshita: "Unfortunately, none of us have chosen one yet."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "I think this is when you need me to give some opinions."
Yukinoshita snorted lightly. "We'll give each other suggestions. You should just go and look around outside. We'll let you know when we're done."
"Don't be like that. A man's opinion is hard to come by. Come and pull me in. If I go in alone, I'll probably be seen as a suspicious person."
Yukinoshita was unmoved and continued to browse the swimsuits on the rack.
Uchiha Ryo stood at the entrance and looked around, then suddenly asked. "Why are you the only one browsing in this section? Eh? What does the 'A Section' on that sign mean? Where are the others?"
Yukinoshita Yukino walked to the entrance, slid the glass door shut, and then returned to her 'A Section' in a huff.
Inside the women's swimsuit store, Yukinoshita browsed alone in the A Section, while Hayasaka Ai was also uncomfortably alone in the B Section.
She really hadn't expected it. Chitanda Eru, who usually seemed like a little sister, was she hiding herself all this time? She had gone straight to the C Section without a word!
And Needless to say, Fujiwara Chika was wandering around the D Section, coming over from time to time to see how the others were doing with their selections.
Uchiha Ryo, outside the door, didn't want to just wait, so he went back to the second floor, planning to look around.
"Uchiha-senpai?"
Hearing someone call him from a distance, Uchiha Ryo looked up and saw a blue-haired young man running towards him, followed by a burly man.
"Ishigami? Is he being chased...?"
Oh well. Even though he's a guy, he's still a capture target. I guess I'll help him out.
Uchiha Ryo stood up. Ishigami Yu had already run to his side, and the burly man also screeched to a halt in front of them.
"Hey... hmm? I remember you... the judo guy."
Kondo Sawa: "It's the ace of the Shuchiin Judo Club, Kondo Sawa! You better remember it, Uchiha Ryo! But... I didn't expect us all to be the same! Hahahaha!"
Kondo Sawa laughed loudly and slapped Uchiha Ryo on the shoulder, making Ishigami Yu's eyelids twitch.
"Kondo-senpai, you should remember to be a little gentler with that move in the future. A normal person would be knocked over by you...."
He had just been slapped once, and the result was that it still hurt.
Kondo Sawa put his hand on Uchiha Ryo's shoulder. "Is that so? I was born with a lot of strength, so maybe I'm not used to controlling it. But Uchiha-kun is fine, isn't he!"
Uchiha Ryo first smacked away the giant hand on his shoulder, then also placed his hand on Kondo Sawa's left shoulder.
Instantly, Kondo Sawa felt as if a barbell used for weightlifting had been suddenly thrown onto him, and his whole body sank down.
Uchiha Ryo silently withdrew his hand.
Kondo Sawa rubbed his shoulder. "That's great! You should still come to the judo club with me! That's the real place for you to show your strength."
Uchiha Ryo: "I refuse. But how did you two end up together?"
Ishigami Yu scratched his head. "I just came here for a normal weekend to play some basketball, play some video games, and stuff."
Kondo Sawa grunted. "Ishigami and I are truly fated. I've already unilaterally decided that I'll look out for him. From now on, he's my brother at Shuchiin."
Time rewinds to half an hour ago.
Ishigami Yu was playing basketball and noticed that more than half of the people on his team had girlfriends handing them water, so he immediately lost interest in playing. Then he ran to the billiard hall, only to find a bunch of couples making out there instead of playing pool.
Then he ran into Kondo Sawa, who also hated couples and had accidentally snapped a pool cue in his hand.
The two Shuchiin students recognized a kindred spirit. They both exuded an aura of solitude, and they quickly started chatting.
Kondo Sawa: "Hahaha, but I didn't expect the super-popular Uchiha-kun to also be wandering the [GINZA Club] alone on a weekend."
"It's fine! What's wrong with being single? We don't have to accompany girls shopping or eat with them! And we don't have to listen to their nagging. Since we're all here, we're brothers! Want to go play some games together?"
Ishigami Yu smiled. "Let's go, senpai. The arcade on the fifth floor is a lot of fun."
Kondo Sawa crossed his arms. "That's right, that's right. As long as you have your bros, that's all you need for gaming! A girl asked me to come here and hang out this morning, and I turned her down flat."
That was a lie! In reality, Kondo Sawa had been the one to ask, and the other person hadn't replied.
Ishigami Yu: "As expected of Kondo-senpai, you're so popular. Not like a real otaku like me. Forget being asked out by a girl, I barely even have any girls as LINE friends."
Uchiha Ryo silently watched the two, then shook his head.
"You guys go ahead and play. I have plans."
