The Swimsuit Episode (Part 3)

As Nayuta Kani was standing anguished in the bathroom, Chihiro Hashima was enjoying a day out at the beach with her school friends. There was swimming; there was splashing; there was a game that involved throwing a beach ball.

Being the height of summer, the beach was mobbed with people, enough so that a visitor who disliked crowds might have felt queasy. But the sheer youthful power that surrounded Chihiro and her female high-school friends seemed to keep all that at bay.

Ah, the blue sky, the white clouds, the shining sunlight.

The sea, the waves, the sand.

Water and sweat spraying, glistening into the air.

Amid a group of radiant young women in swimsuits.

…Yeah, nothing really noteworthy happened here, so please enjoy this wonderful swimsuit illustration provided by Kantoku instead.
