The blue sea, my youth

Following the sound of an alarm, Iori reached out from under the quilt and turned off the alarm. He said, "Today is not Saturday, let me sleep quietly. I've encountered various things this week and I'm exhausted..."

Behind him, except for the few new members of the club, seniors Shou and Tokita wrote various matters on the small blackboard, one of which was indispensable, drinking.

…………

After receiving the notice of the assembly, Furuichi got up from the bed. When he arrived at the store after washing up, he saw seniors and Iori arguing about the club's activity location.

Nanahua behind the counter saw Iori and praised him, "Not bad, Iori, you are dressed well today."

"Although I don't want to say it, it doesn't seem to be a compliment..."

"I, the person being praised, also sound wrong..."

The store manager heard Iori and the others discussing club activities, looked at Tokita and asked, "Club activities?"

"Well, we are going to have some activities with the freshmen." Tokita nodded to confirm.

Nanaka asked Shou curiously: "So, how many new students are there this year?"

Shou shamelessly held up four fingers, "So far, there are four."

Looking at the store again, there were only four people, Furuichi Takaharu, Imamura Kohei, Kitahara Iori and Furutegawa Chisa, but they were standing in different postures.

"Dear new students, thank you for coming here today." Senior Tokita gave a speech in front.

Furuichi complained in his heart: 'Yes, two of them live in the store, I am nearby, and only Kohei came for some reason. '

Iori on the side asked directly, "By the way, Kohei, why are you participating in the event so seriously?"

Kohei opened the text message he received and said: "Because the president sent me an emergency call."

Furuichi and Iori leaned over to take a look, and it said 'Today, voice actor Mizuki Natsuya will come to our GrandBlue, gather at the store at 10 o'clock. '

"This must be a lie." "You can tell it's not true at a glance." The two gave their comments.

Kohei couldn't believe it, turned around and grabbed Senior Tokita, "Really?!"

Senior Tokita nodded calmly, "Yeah, I was kidding you."

Kohei's hope was shattered, and he staggered to the side.

Iori went over and patted his shoulder and laughed, "Hey, no matter how naive you are, you can't be fooled by such a lie." However, after seeing Kohei's tears, Iori was still a little panicked, "Oh, are you really crying? At this age?! I remember that Mizuki Natsuya was a celebrity who appeared in the Red and White Song Festival, how could she come here."

The store manager continued Iori's words and said, "And it seems that Natsuya is very busy recently, so it's impossible for her to come here for the time being."

"You said that as if she used to come here often in the past-" "It's a bit hard to believe."

Nanaka also confirmed: "Yeah, I've been here before."

Kohei was revived, "Really!!"

"Yeah, really, voice actors and artists come here often."

At this time, Kohei didn't believe it, "No, you lied to me, you must want to deceive my feelings again."

"Ahahaha, we didn't lie to you."

"I won't believe it without evidence."

The store manager pointed back and said, "Her diving suit is hanging there."

"Huh, diving suit... Can I taste it?" Kohei asked seriously.

"Awesome, you said something perverted without hesitation." "He looks handsome, but unfortunately he is... Should we say perverts attract each other?" "I didn't expect you to start with the taste. This reaction is indeed different from that of ordinary people." "The freshmen nowadays are really extraordinary."

Iori still asked: "Didn't you say that you planned to graduate as an otaku?"

"Don't worry, I'm just playing with ordinary people."

"Your normal person label includes too many things..."

"What kind of ordinary play is this..."

The store manager reminded behind the bar: "Don't worry about the taste first, as long as you dive here often, you will meet her."

"I suddenly feel full of energy, teach me how to dive!"

"Leave it to me!" "We are here for this today!" The senior agreed happily.

Chisa raised her hand and asked: "Should I follow?"

"Well-Chisa already has experience, so there is no need, right?" Senior Tokita said.

"Then I won't participate." Chisa turned around and walked towards the room when she heard that she didn't have to participate, but she was stopped by the store manager, who said that this was a rare opportunity and asked her to go with him to see the newbies' every move.

Chisa was persuaded, but Iori had another question, "Can I just visit?"

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" the senior asked with concern.

"No, I told Senior Shou before..."

"Oh, that thing..."

"?" ×4

Iori continued, "I can't swim. So just leave me alone."

"Don't worry about it." Senior Tokita was just as indifferent as Senior Shou before.

"No, of course I have to worry..." Iori still cares about this.

"Many divers can't swim." Senior Shou said a fact on the side. This is also a misunderstanding of most people. In fact, diving and swimming have nothing to do with each other.

"Oh, is it really okay?" "I'm going to dive into the sea?" "Is it really okay?"

"It's better to know a little, but it's not a big problem."

Seeing that the three people in front of him were confused, Senior Tokita said, "Then I'll start from that point."

Several people came out from the house, and Senior Tokita took out the oxygen cylinder.

"Why do you say it's okay to go into the sea without knowing how to swim? That's because diving and swimming are two different things." As he said that, Senior Tokita lifted an oxygen cylinder a little further forward, "This is the oxygen cylinder you need to carry for diving, try to carry it."

Kohei stepped forward and tried to carry it, "It's so heavy..."

Senior Shou said on the side: "It's more than ten kilograms."

Senior Tokita continued: "Because there is buoyancy in the water, it won't feel that heavy, but it's still hard to move your hands and feet when you carry it on your back. And most people who can't swim just don't know how to breathe, but diving doesn't have to worry about breathing, so it's completely different."

"I see, swimming skills are basically useless."

"But sometimes when you encounter an accident, you have no choice but to abandon the oxygen cylinder and swim on the surface of the water." Senior Tokita still talked about the usefulness of swimming for diving.

Senior Shou continued, "Don't panic at this time. Use your mouth to blow air into the BCD (Note 1) and wait for rescue."

"So Iori, don't be afraid if you can't swim." The seniors summarized and gave Iori a thumbs up to encourage him.

"But..." Iori wanted to say something.

"Don't deny yourself so much before you try it." "What a waste. What's most important is whether you are interested."

"In that case, I'll give it a try." Iori was finally convinced.

…………

Several people followed the seniors to an empty swimming pool.

"So... let's treat today as a swimming training with a rehearsal nature." Senior Tokita said while standing by the swimming pool.

"Hey, didn't you just say that it's okay if you can't swim?" Iori felt that he was deceived.

"Swimming skills themselves are not that important. What's important is to get used to the water. In this sense, swimming is still very important."

These words made Furuichi and Kohei also feel deceived.

We have already arrived at the swimming pool, so there is no choice but to change into swimsuits.

In the locker room, the senior emphasized again: "People who can't swim will be afraid of water, right?" "Diving is the worst."

"I can't listen to you guys talking like this, can you please put on your pants?" Although Iori couldn't accept two naked people talking in front of him, he still asked a question, "Are you saying that you can't enjoy the underwater world?"

"No, it's a more direct impact."

"What do you mean?"

"It's easy to panic when encountering an accident underwater, and it's more obvious when the eye mask falls off." "Also, after falling into fear, you can't maintain stable and effective breathing, and increase the oxygen consumption rate."

"What is stable and effective breathing?" Kouhei raised his question.

"It's slow and deep breathing. This is efficient, and small shallow breathing is ineffective." "Because when you are afraid, you will take small shallow breaths." "It's important to keep a normal mind in the water!"

"I see, then it's necessary to get used to being underwater." Kouhei took his pull-up swimming trunks out of his backpack.

Senior Tokita said to Iori again: "It's okay if you can't swim, but you have to keep a calm mind underwater."

Furuichi patted Iori on the shoulder and said: "Although the seniors are usually unreliable, they are still very reliable for diving. This is their hobby."

"If you understand, change your clothes quickly. You are the only one missing."

Hearing the senior's words, Iori looked around and found that he was the only one still wearing the clothes he had just worn. Furuichi wore pink swimming trunks, and Kouhei wore more exaggerated latina swimming trunks.

After Iori changed into ordinary blue swimming trunks, several people came to the swimming pool. Kouhei, who had better swimming skills, practiced with Senior Tokita, and the two who could only swim breaststroke and couldn't swim practiced with Senior Shou.

"Okay, let's start."

"What should we do?" "You have to tell me how to start..."

"First, the basics of the basics, open your eyes underwater." Seeing that Iori was still a little scared, Senior Shou encouraged: "You can touch the floor here, don't worry."

Furuichi tried it, and although he opened his eyes, it was a bit uncomfortable. When he stood up, Iori next to him also stood up.

Senior Shou smiled and said: "Failed? It doesn't matter, try to wear goggles. First adapt to the underwater environment, and then try to take off the goggles."

Senior Tokita, who was behind the three, also said to Kohei: "Okay, you also put on the equipment and practice." "Okay, I know."

After Iori and Furuichi put on their goggles, Senior Shou said: "This way, the fear will be greatly reduced. Let's enjoy the scenery in the water. "

The two of them dived into the water. Furuichi tried to take off his goggles because he could swim a little, and Iori felt around him because he couldn't.

However, when they opened their eyes, they saw Senior Tokita pulling down Kohei's swimming trunks in the water, and they stood up at once.

Senior Shou, who hadn't entered the water, was still asking the two, "How is it? Isn't the underwater scenery nice?"

Furuichi said slowly, "I'll try again. I was a little scared just now..."

And Iori said directly, "I... I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to water in this life..."

Behind him, Kohei was complaining to Senior Tokita, "What are you doing? !"

"Practice whether you will panic if your equipment falls off."

"Usually, they pull the goggles, right?"

Ignoring the quarrel behind him, Senior Shou asked Iori, "Well, you don't hate taking a bath, do you?"

"Yeah, I quite like it."

"That's good."
