Inugami-san and Nekoyama-san
10th "Nekoyama-san and Pool Opening"
It's pool opening today!
Don't jump in before you're told to, Inugami!
Idiot.
Are you stupid, just jumping right in like that?
That's right. What if there'd been an accident?
Inugami-san should really learn to calm down.
I don't know who you're talking about.
Listen!
But we're talking swimsuits!
They're just school swimsuits!
Yes! School swimsuits!
The most revealing costume you're allowed to wear in school!
I think you'd be an idiot not to get excited when you see that!
Then I'm fine with being an idiot.
You know, since we started high school,
we don't wear name tags anymore.
Yeah, that's true...
That's fine by me. They were embarrassing.
Aww, but I've been thinking...
Like, say Nekoyama-san forgot to write her name on hers.
You don't have to give an explanation...
It's a pain, but I guess I'll have to take it off...
I'll write it for you.
Kinda like that...
Pervert.
What are you doing, Kitty-chan?
Watching water striders.
You generally do whatever you please, huh?
What about you?
Watching is all I can do.
I can't stand chlorine...
It makes me feel like I'll dissolve.
It messes up my skin.
I feel like it'll all peel off, and I'll sink.
That's scary.
You're not going to swim, Kitty-chan?
No, I'm not.
I can't stand water, for some reason.
It's scary, you know?
I feel like it'll swallow me up and I'll drown.
Is that what they mean by "water trade"?
You're such a genius to make that connection.
Besides, if I get in the pool, I know Inugami-san will come after me...
Nekoyama-san!
What do you want, Inugami-san?
Don't be like that! Let's swim!
I hate water, so I can't.
What?!
You won't, even if I ask?
I can't, and that's that.
That's cold!
C'mon, what's the problem?
This is the most important favor I've asked you all year!
That doesn't mean anything!
Actually...
This angle's pretty erotic...
This can't be good...
Hey, Nekoyama-san, are you listening?
Wh-What?
I said, I want to see you all wet—
That's something you can't say!
I wonder if Nekoyama-san was mad...
Isn't that normal for Nekoyama-san?
You think so?
I get the feeling I missed something really good...
Nekoyama, are you feeling sick?
I feel like something's eating at me.
Seriously? What's wrong?
If I knew what was wrong, I wouldn't be suffering...
Anyway, I'm sleepy.
It's because of the pool.
You barely even swam!
