You Ep. 21: Swimming Form Observations
You accidentally mix up the dates you're supposed to be helping with training, and end up at Uranohoshi when You has swim team practice. When you go to the pool to see her, she asks you to check her swimming form.
Player
*Pant* *Pant* *Pant* You! I thought you'd be here.
You
Huh?! What's going on? Is dance practice today?
Player
No, I accidentally mixed up the dates. I only realized when I got to the clubroom. You have swimming practice today, right, You?
| Option 1: “I was in such a panic.” |
|---|
| Player The clubroom was locked tight, and I kinda ended up in a panic. Thank goodness a teacher didn't see me wandering flustered outside the clubroom door! You *Chuckle* Oh no, that sounds terrible. I'd like to have seen you all flustered and confused, though. |
| Option 2: “How careless of me.” |
| Player How careless of me. And I was trying to do a good job of managing the schedule too! You *Laugh* Don't worry about it! These things happen all the time. |
You
Still, I'm glad that you came all the way to the pool to meet me! Hey, come over here!
Player
Huh? There…as in, by the pool? Um, I'm okay. I'd just get in the way while you're practicing.
You
You won't be in the way at all! I need to get used to having you watch from there so that I won't get nervous when tons of people come to watch the tournament.
Player
Th-That's why you want me to watch? But there's no way that you get nervous or anything with all the experience you have now, right?!
You
Of course I do! Come on, don't be shy! Get over here!
Player
O-Okay. I'll head over then!
[Fade in/out.]
You
I'm gonna start swimming now! Make sure you watch me!
Player
Yup! Do your best!
You
*Giggle* Here I go! Whooo!
[Fade in/out.]
You
Phew!
Player
Great work out there, You! Here's your towel.
You
Thanks! Phew. I'm so tired now!
Player
*Giggle* You still sound pretty energetic to me.
You
Well, I'm tired, but I had a lot of fun too! So, how did I look? When I was swimming, I mean. Was there anything off with my form?
Player
Your form? It looked great to me. Beautiful, in fact.
You
Beautiful?
Player
Yeah! I'm only an amateur regarding swimming, so I don't know too much about it. The way you looked was really beautiful though, You.
Player
And you have some serious stamina to keep up that pace for such a long time! I'd be completely exhausted after about four laps. You're amazing!
You
*Giggle* Thank you! Having you watch me today put me in such a good mood. It makes me so happy when you compliment me on something that I love too.
Player
Do you like stuff other than high diving as well?
You
Of course. Front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly… I also love just floating in the water.
You
When I'm swimming, it feels like my body and the water become one—it's like the world opens up before me. Like I can go wherever I want, no matter how far away it might seem.
You
And it feels really good after I've put all of my energy into swimming. That's why I just can't stop!
Player
I see. So, which do you like better: swimming, or being a school idol?
You
What?! Well… I mean, swimming is really fun, but so is singing with everyone, and… W-Wait! Ummm…
Player
Hehe…
You
Oh, you're laughing! You were just messing with me! That's so mean! Take that! And that! And this too!
Player
*Laugh* You, ow! You're getting my clothes all wet!
You
I'm gonna get them absolutely soaked! Take that!
Player
Eeep!
