deep sea mystery - chapter 2

[mandytl]

Location: Marine Biology Club Clubroom

Souma: You... ! Don't touch my blade with your filthy hands! How would you take responsibility for causing my blade to rust at your hand?!

Kaoru: ... is your sword seriously that decrepit?

You're in the totally wrong era to be walking around with one at your waist, anyway. Like, isn't that violating the Firearm and Sword Possession Control Law~?

 

Souma: Now you've incurred my wrath. By no means will I ever excuse your slander of my ancestors by calling my blade "decrepit".

 

I'll take your life right here.

Kaoru: Whoa, watch it. What'll you do if you hit a water tank swinging that sword around?

 

Don't you think Kanata-kun'll be really sad if something happens to one of his precious tanks?
 

Souma: Kh.... ! It's unbecoming of a samurai to commit a disgraceful act like using a tank as a shield... !

 

Kaoru: Good thing I'm no samurai.
 

Anyway, we're supposed to be talking about the sports festival. Sounds like Kanata-kun wants to do the unthinkable and participate.

 

Souma: For you of all people to make a valid point...

 

Still, it's as you say. I'll sheath my blade for now.

 

Kaoru: How about for life and not just now?

 

Uhm, so, Kanata-kun. You got rejected after your class invited you?
 

As part of your unit or the club?
 

Kanata: As a member of our "club", of course~. ♪ I'm the "President" of the "Marine Biology Club" after all.

 

I thought I'd be able to exercise my authority as "President" so our "sea friends" could participate.

 

Kaoru: You're including me and Souma-kun when you say club, huh... sigh. It sounds like a pain...
 

There'll be chances to get to know some girls since students enrolled in normal courses are taking part, but when I think about all the setup involved I can't get motivated.

 

Souma: So you plan on defying him?

 

President-dono wants us enjoy ourselves during the sports festival. It's my duty to obey his orders if so... !
 

Kaoru: Hmmm. You act like he's a lord or something, but I'm not obligated to go that hard.

 

Besides, it sounds like Kanata-kun wants to have fun with his "sea friends" more than us.

 

Kanata: My "sea friends" may be important, but Kaoru and Souma are also very precious "friends"... ♪
 

That's why I want us to compete in the "sports festival" together with the "friends" I love that came from the "sea"~.

 

Souma: President-dono... !

 

Understood.

 

If you insist on it that badly, then I, Kanzaki Souma, will do my very utmost to cultivate a way to let us appear in the sports festival with your "sea friends"... !

 

Kaoru: Uh, no, it's got to be impossible. Unless we can carry those water tanks on our shoulders, I mean.

 

Souma: A water tank like this won't even hinder my strength. Even you can have a decent idea for a change.
 

Kaoru: Eh? That was a joke.... uwah, I didn't think you'd take me seriously.
 

You know I didn't mean it, right Kanata-kun?

 

Kanata: I thought carrying the "water tanks" on our shoulders was a pretty good "idea"... that's too bad...
 

Kaoru: You too?!
 

Look. It'd be a near miracle if we managed to compete with just the three of us. You'd better give up on getting us involved.

 

I mean, we love the sea too, and that's all that really matters, am I right, Kanata-kun? ♪
