Chapter 342: Changing Clothes
“Classmate Kiyomizu, then we’ll go over there first.”
Outside the women’s changing room at the beach entrance, the girl with short brown hair was wearing a cute pink swimsuit. Her slightly plump figure didn’t look bulky but was instead shapely in just the right places, drawing the gazes of passersby with her youthful charm.
“Okay.”
A cold, emotionless voice, like a chilling wind from the abyss, came from inside the changing room. After hearing the girl’s response, Nákamura Yū outside the door was pulled by other classmates towards the beach.
“Phew— they’ve left…”
The noisy, youthful girls made the dim changing room return to its usual quiet. A small head peeked slyly from behind the changing room door. After confirming that no one was around, she patted her chest with relief.
Although the girl had long ago come to terms with her identity as a woman, this was the first time she had completely exposed her body in front of so many people, even if it was only in front of someone of the opposite sex.
In fact, for Kazumi, who now possessed a female body, even seeing the attractive figures of several girls exuding youthfulness in the changing room didn’t cause any particular emotional fluctuation. If she had to draw a comparison, it would be like looking at her male roommates during summer in the past life, naked while playing games— a normal person wouldn’t have any superfluous thoughts, right?
The spiritual longing for the opposite sex and physiological urges are both based on the physiological foundation of being human. Kazumi’s preference for men hasn’t changed due to the memories of her past life as a man. Whether Kazumi likes men or not, she isn’t sure, but what is certain is that even if a naked female body were placed in front of her, she would probably continue with her own business without any regard.
Her body wouldn’t react in any way, that’s all.
Therefore, for Kazumi, the main reason she was unwilling to expose her body in front of so many people was still due to a slight sense of shyness.
After all, Kazumi, who was from the south in her previous life, hadn’t experienced the public bathhouses of the north. Even the student baths in schools had individual cubicles, and there was no situation where people would bathe naked in a large, open living room without any covering.
“Hmm? Why is it with the clothes?”
Slightly surprised, Kazumi took out the swimsuit from the small pocket of her clothes and murmured to herself, vaguely recalling that she had taken it out separately yesterday.
However, this wasn’t a very important matter. She quickly changed into the pure black swimsuit and put her other clothes into the small bag, locking them in the locker of the changing room.
She walked to the nearby shower head, rinsed her body, wrapped herself in a towel placed nearby, and walked out of the changing room.
…
The weather during vacation is always good, or rather, who would choose to go on vacation in bad weather? (laughs)
Intense sunlight shone from overhead. Even though she was still hiding in the shade by the changing room, the heat radiating from outside slowly evaporated the water droplets on the girl’s body.
Looking up and squinting at the somewhat harsh sun, Kazumi regretted not bringing sunglasses. However, the sea breeze was quite strong, easily dispelling the heat from her body. The salty sea breeze blowing on her face gave her a unique feeling.
[What should I do now? Go straight to the beach with them? Hmm… I should eat something first.]
Touching her slightly shrunken stomach, the girl felt a bit hungry. After thinking carefully, she turned and walked towards the west side of the beach.
“Kazumi!”
But before the girl could take a few steps forward, a familiar shout came from behind.
“What are you doing here?”
She instinctively took a step back, wrapping her body tighter with the towel on her shoulder, and looked disgruntledly at the blond young man walking towards her. She didn’t know how he managed it, but he constantly paid attention to her even when they were out playing and could appear at any moment. Did he have some perverted hobby?
Sato Shinichi had his usual honest smile, wearing ordinary light yellow casual shorts. What truly caught people’s attention was his completely exposed, muscular upper body.
His previously ordinary physique under the shirt was now revealed without reservation. His entire upper body was like a perfectly sculpted muscle armor, with broad shoulders, full, prominent pectoral muscles, clearly defined eight-pack abs, and even the serratus anterior muscles on his sides were clearly visible. His long arms weren’t very thick, but one could still feel the terrifying power contained within the muscles honed through hard training.
Although the young man’s physique couldn’t compare to the bulky bodies of professional powerlifters, such a physique that combined both beauty and strength was actually the most pleasing to the eye and inspiring from a visual perspective.
“I’m waiting for you here? What’s wrong, Kazumi?”
Smiling, he greeted his girlfriend and walked a few steps to her side, only to find her standing there as if stunned.
“N-nothing…”
The young man’s call brought Kazumi back from her daze. A blush instantly spread across her face, and she instinctively turned her head to the side, answering haltingly.
[This physique… it’s too much!!]
“Oh, Kazumi, are you going to eat? Seeing as you didn’t have much appetite in the car earlier, I came here directly to wait for you.”
Sato Shinichi didn’t notice the girl’s unusual behavior. Accustomed to his girlfriend’s strange actions, he was more concerned about her physical condition. He knew that Kazumi hadn’t eaten many snacks in the car because she was busy playing games, and if she went to play under the sun without eating, she could easily get heatstroke.
“Yeah, okay.”
Swallowing with some difficulty, Kazumi turned and replied, then immediately turned back like a shy little rabbit.
Logically speaking, even though her emotions might be more heightened due to her current limited powers, Kazumi, who had already settled into a comfortable relationship like an old married couple, shouldn’t be this shy. But this guy, who radiated masculine charm like walking hormones, was really hard to take her eyes off.
No, this level was no longer just masculine charm. It was a human yearning for beauty. Wasn’t it true that in the gym, guys with good physiques attracted more attention from women than others? And the young man’s current hard work had reached the level of art.
[Appreciate art, appreciate art.]
[Slurp—]
“Huh?”
The young man took a few steps forward but found the girl still staring at him with a shy and cute expression. Combined with the towel wrapped around her. In Sato Shinichi’s view, it was probably just that the girl was a little shy, wearing such skimpy clothes in front of others for the first time.
He turned and walked a few steps back to Kazumi’s location, gently held her soft, fair little hand, and looked at the slightly stunned little cutie in front of him with a doting smile.
“Let’s go. We’ll play together after we eat.”
(ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, my little cuties!)
