Rin and Haruka Special Talk
Rin: What are you talking about?
Haruka: I just made some typos.
Rin: Geez. So, what’s up?
Haruka: I found your water bottle at my place.
Rin: Ah. From after the All Japan Selection, when we hung out at your place?
Haruka: I was cleaning and found it rolling around under my bed. You were sitting on the bed when we had nabe right?
Rin: I guess that’s right. But, I never thought we’d have a nabe after party after the tournament closing ceremonies.
Haruka: Nabe is easy to prepare. And we had three big eaters. You, Makoto, and Sousuke too. I’m glad we were able to talk.
Rin: Haha. Haru, you were unusually talkative. Makoto and I were a bit surprised but Sousuke seemed quite inspired by it. Since he’s become conscious of swimming again, I think he’s getting back his dazzling feelings from before.
Haruka: I see. I guess I’m getting another rival.
Rin: Hehe. He’s still a blank slate, I don’t know how far he’ll be able to go, but his expression is lighter than before. I’m happy about that.
Haruka: Yeah that’s true.
Rin: Ah, but, it would have been nice if Ai and the others, and Nagisa and Rei were able to come to the after party too.
Haruka: They had school the next day so it couldn’t be helped. But I’m glad we got to see them all.
Rin: Yeah, those guys, in the time I hadn’t seen them they’ve become much more senpai like.
Haruka: I don’t really know how to say it but, I feel like our feelings and bonds will be passed down forever……
Rin: Haha, you’ve become sentimental huh? Oh, by the way, I saw a video of the All Japan Selection, and that classmate of yours from middle school……
Rin: Yeah! Natsuya-san’s younger brother! That IM race was good. I’ll have to watch him and learn his ease at butterfly and free.
Haruka: Ikuya said that butterfly was hard for him. It seems that Ikuya is conscious of your swimming, too.
Rin: Hmm! Guess I got another rival too!
Haruka: Yeah. ……Rin, I’m looking forward to it, to what’s coming.
Rin: Yeah! By the way, Haru. You need to learn how to change to kanji in the text ap!
Haruka: Makoto already taught me how.
Rin: But you can’t do it, can you?
Rin: You hate losing as much as always. Well talk to you later, Haru! Hang on to my water bottle till the next time I see you.
