Volume 13 Chapter 459 Shirogane Aqua, My Summer Break Is Ending!!
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
DAMN IIIIIIT!!
My summer break has less than a month left, and I STILL have summer homework?! GOD, WHY!?
I grab my head with both hands and writhe on my bed in agony.
Wait—this isn’t the time for escapism!
If I keep this up, my summer break will—everyone’s swimsuit event will be ruined!!
”I gotta do something!!”
I scan the homework list that Sugita-sensei brought me.
Alright, as for the second-semester prep work, I already did that during my downtime at the hospital, so that’s fine.
What’s left is just five independent study assignments.
I turn my gaze to the assignment items written on the list.
………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hmm…
For #1, a drawing will work.
A professional artist like me submitting a performance or singing feels wrong from a curriculum perspective.
Lucky for me, I’m about as good at drawing as I am at singing.
For #2, since I’m injured, I don’t need to push myself.
But I thought, why not do my rehab at school? That way I can knock out physical studies and rehab at the same time.
”Huh…? Wait a second!?”
That’s when I realized something outrageous…
”If I do my physical studies at the school pool, I can get rehab AND physical studies done. But the best part of using the pool for physical studies isn’t just that—the female students using the pool and the teachers supervising in their swimsuits… I’d get to see all of them, wouldn’t I!?”
WHOOOOAAAAA!!
This isn’t just killing two birds with one stone—this is three birds! No—four birds with one stone!!
Alone in my room, I strike a smug, slightly narcissistic pose.
”Heh… I’m so much of a genius, my own brain scares me.”
Hm? I feel someone’s gaze on me.
I turn toward the presence I sensed.
Through the slightly open door gap, Pegonia was watching me—and she snorted with laughter.
”Master… how adorable. Fufu.”
With that, Pegonia turned and walked away.
Damn it! Why is that door gap always so conveniently open!?
According to Emily, who was involved in the building’s construction, there was a mistake in the workmanship—the door doesn’t close properly, so even when you shut it tight, it naturally opens a little.
When I move to close the slightly open door, Kohina-senpai’s face appears through the gap.
”Idiot.”
Kohina-senpai snorts at me and walks off.
Grrr! GRRRRR!
If you were watching, you could’ve told me sooner!!
UUUGGGHHH!!
As I go to close the door, Emily pops out from the side.
”Aqua-sama… Kanon just headed to the pool a little while ago. I figured you’d be coming up with the idea soon, so I switched the swimsuit in her bag to her middle school-era school swimsuit. Go enjoy yourself!!”
…Genius.
Let me say that again, just once more.
A genius beyond any argument.
To think there was someone more brilliant than me…
As expected of Emily.
Emily isn’t just perverted. She has an aesthetic to her lewdness.
It’s not just her high-minded perspective on eroticism—it’s because she dedicates herself to studying it daily without compromise.
”Emily… I’m heading out.”
”Yes. I figured as much, so I called a taxi for you downstairs. Also, today it’s not just Kanon—Ayana-chan and Claire are with her too. And of course, I changed Ayana-chan’s swimsuit as well, so rest assured!!”
Emily…! You’re such an incredible woman!!
I pull Emily into a tight embrace.
”Next time, let me see you in a school swimsuit too…!”
”Ah, um, well…”
Emily looks slightly embarrassed and averts her gaze.
What’s wrong, Emily!? Are you shy about wearing a school swimsuit!?
Seeing my reaction, Emily opens her mouth with an apologetic look.
”Well, you see… ever since my school days, well… my chest size got pretty big, and when I wear a school swimsuit, the side boob spills out from the armhole…”
”That’s the best!!”
I hugged Emily tightly once more.
Emily wrapped her arms around my back and closed her eyes, as if savoring the moment.
”Thank you. Aqua-sama.”
After a quick peck with Emily, I thanked her and got into the taxi she’d arranged for me, heading to school.
Alright—today I’m gonna feast my eyes on three girls in swimsuits~!
Arriving at Otomezaki, I thanked the taxi driver and headed to Pool #2, which was open to regular students today.
”Hm…?”
I sense someone near the pool area. I quietly hide behind the wall and peer in the direction of the presence.
”Ugh… why is it my middle school-era school swimsuit that’s in my bag!?”
WHOOOOAAAAAA!!
Kanon’s wearing a school swimsuit, hugging herself and curled up.
Huh… looks like Kanon’s body developed quite a bit from middle school to high school.
I burn the sight of Kanon’s curves spilling out of the school swimsuit into my retina.
Wait—look at that!
I react to the hiragana name tag on the swimsuit: “Kanon.”
Perfect… Personally, the hiragana just makes it even better.
Thank you. Emily!!
”Ugh! This has to be Emiri-senpai’s doing, doesn’t it!!”
I look up at the sky—and there, faintly floating among the clouds, I salute Emily’s image.
I’ll probably get the silent treatment from Kanon for about three hours, but take care. Emily!! I won’t forget you!!
”K-Kanon-san…”
That voice—is that Ayana!?
I quickly turn my gaze back to Kanon.
And there’s Ayana, covering her body with both hands, wearing a school swimsuit.
PHWOAAAAAAAHHH!!
Wait, hold on a second!
The middle school-era school swimsuit fits her perfectly!?
I silently put my hands together and bow, tears streaming down my face.
”I think I accidentally brought the school swimsuit I wore in middle school…”
Kanon shakes her head at the embarrassed Ayana.
”No. Mine got swapped with my middle school swimsuit too, so it’s definitely Emiri-senpai’s doing.”
”W-why would she do that…”
Ayana looks slightly confused.
Hmm, there’s something you can only get from Ayana’s flustered expression!
Kanon rests her chin on her fist, striking a thoughtful pose.
”Emiri-senpai would do it without any reason, I guess… but I saw earlier, and apparently only the three of us have booked this time slot. I’m guessing Emiri-senpai set something up.”
Kanon’s face naturally turns toward me.
Crap! I quickly duck my head back and hide against the wall.
Then, by coincidence, I lock eyes with Yamamoto-sensei, the health and PE teacher, who was walking this way.
”Oh, Aqua-sama! You made it to school!!”
”Wha—Yamamoto-sensei, shh! Kanon and Ayana will hear me!”
I grab Yamamoto-sensei’s hand and push her against the wall, covering her lips with my hand at close range.
Yamamoto-sensei’s eyes grow moist behind her glasses, her expression feverish.
Wait, Yamamoto-sensei…? You’re acting kind of strange, aren’t you?
”Ah, Aqua! So you WERE here!!”
”Gah!?”
Kanon’s cheeks puff out as she spots me.
Aww, cute.
As I make a dopey face, Ayana gives me a flat, dead-eyed stare.
”Aqua seduced Emily-san.”
No, Emily did this on her own initiative.
But I’m not gonna say something lame like that.
Because Emily did this for me.
So I’ll bear the sin and the punishment myself!!
”No, Ayana-chan. Emiri-senpai just used her own judgment. Besides, Aqua keeps defending her like that, which just makes Emiri-senpai’s pranks worse! Ugh!!”
Sorry, Emily… I wasn’t strong enough to shield the depths of your sins.
But if you’re getting scolded, I’ll get scolded with you—so forgive me!!
”Hmm…—wait, Yamamoto-sensei!?”
At Ayana’s voice, Kanon and I both look toward Yamamoto-sensei.
Still with her mouth covered by my hand, Yamamoto-sensei is wearing a swimsuit, her body flushed and glistening with sweat, looking utterly bewitching.
”Oh, sorry about that!”
I release Yamamoto-sensei.
She slowly stands up, rubbing her thighs together, stealing glances at me.
”Um, I’ll be right back from the restroom. Aqua-sama, please take over as lifeguard for me!!”
”Ehh!?”
With that, Yamamoto-sensei takes off running toward the bathroom.
So… what am I supposed to do in this situation?
The three of us exchange confused looks just as Claire emerges from the changing room area.
”Huh? Aqua-kun. You’re here?”
…
……
…Huh?
The three of us freeze, staring at the swimsuit Claire is wearing.
”Everyone, what’s wrong? Ah…”
Claire follows our gaze down to the V-shaped swimsuit she’s wearing.
There is no way in hell a holy sister should be wearing something like that.
Only s*x workers or people in the business of reproduction could get away with that kind of swimsuit.
Claire’s face turns red as she belatedly realizes, and she tries to hide herself with both hands.
”Um… actually, the small white bikini I was planning to wear today got dirty, and this was the only one I had at home. I-I don’t usually wear things like this!!”
Claire-san….
Even if you don’t usually wear it, the fact that you own that swimsuit is already huge.
I mean… “I don’t usually wear it” basically means you wear it sometimes, right…?
That’s when my sharp intuition kicks in.
Could it be… she’s always wearing a lewd swimsuit like this under her sister’s habit!?
No, no, no—even Claire, who’s famous for being absolutely depraved, wouldn’t go that far… right? Actually, she’s Claire, so….
”Ugh… I should’ve brought my school swimsuit that I outgrew ’cause it was too tight… Why is it that Emily-san only swapped MY swimsuit this time of all times? Ugh ugh ugh!”
Emily… next time, swap Claire’s swimsuit too, okay…?
Claire, now at her absolute limit of embarrassment, grabs the hands of us three frozen idiots.
”Come on, everyone, let’s go!! Physical studies time is almost over!!”
With that, Claire gets behind me and starts pushing me forward with both hands.
And so, my summer break had finally begun.
===
Emily: “Hey, you’re not actually the Lewd Saint, are you?”
Claire: “I am NOT!!”
By the way, Pegonia and Emily are co-conspirators.
It was Pegonia who swapped Kanon’s swimsuit, and Emily who swapped Ayana-chan’s.

Summary:
Aqua panics over his remaining summer homework but discovers he can combine rehab with pool-side physical studies, which conveniently lets him ogle girls in swimsuits. Emily and Pegonia have secretly swapped multiple characters’ swimsuits for school-issue ones, creating a cascade of embarrassing reveals. Yamamoto-sensei’s strange behavior and Claire’s dangerously revealing V-shaped swimsuit push the comedy to new heights before everyone heads to the pool together.
—
Trivia:
The assignment list’s “mast* * ** * ** * ** * * or s*x does NOT count as exercise” joke is a deliberate comedic aside in the original school document.
Emily swapped Ayana’s swimsuit while Pegonia swapped Kanon’s—they’re co-conspirators.
Aqua is a professional artist and idol, which is why submitting a drawing for art studies makes sense for him.
The door gap that keeps getting Aqua caught is due to a construction defect Emily mentioned.
Yamamoto-sensei’s reaction to Aqua’s hand-over-mouth gesture suggests more than just teacher-student dynamics.
Claire is nicknamed the “Lewd Saint” by Emily, indicating her reputation among the group.
Kohina-senpai and Pegonia both witness Aqua’s embarrassing moments and mock him for them.
The “Holy Aqua cult” mentioned at the end is a meta-reference to fan content the author writes.
Multiple URL links at the end point to author’s other works, spin-offs, and surveys.
The author notes at the end about “be careful of Toa” refers to a potential spoiler/trigger warning for Moonlight short stories.

Translation Notes:
Notes:
• Emily – Heavily pregnant and graceful, Saint Emily is the Yukishiro heir, a church official, and high-academic Verification Team junior. Friend to Kanon and others, she is married to Shirogane Aqua, whose child she expects, Kukuri’s “oneechan,” and close to Hakuryuu-sensei. A scheming, exaggerated trickster and “Impression King,” she uses a “guhehe” laugh and once posted Kanon’s indirect kiss video online.
• Kohina – Known as “Kohina-senpai” in omake, this blunt, sharp-tongued professional actress, friend, and space-faring mentor hides an altruistic leader behind a tough, prickly facade. Though she oddly fights Tokyo park cats, she masks a deep concern for Shirogane and hidden vulnerability with sharp wit, guiding her group through their final mission to ensure they all survive.
• Kanon – Internet master, fashion icon, and Verification Team member Kanon-sama is Aqua’s devoted, jealous wife and Kotono’s sister. Famed for her elegant appearances, this underage, chunibyo youngest sister hides her emotions behind a cool, easily flustered exterior. Heavily sleep-deprived, she roasts her friends but often falls victim to Emily’s schemes, recently blushing and refusing to talk to her after an indirect kiss.
• Aqua – A world-famous idol, BERYL leader, tokusatsu actor, and sharp-eyed student. Wielding past-life wisdom, this accepting yet reckless and oblivious male lead is deeply treasured by his crew for saving Shintaro and destroying a meteorite. Now discharged after a long hospital stay following a space collision, he remains the object of affection for Yukari, Inko, Maron, and others.
• Toa – A male BERYL idol, livestreamer, and AI interface who uses broadcasts for space communication. Formerly a shut-in, this “cute-cool” companion has an upgraded luxury wardrobe. He shares a deep bond with classmate Aqua, acting as his straight man and following his lead; as a perceptive group member, he sees through Aqua’s act immediately and gives deadpan stares.
