Participating in the Regional Track and Field Championships as a supporter

Vulgar Series No. 2

The source of the idea is a thin book

　It's summer.

　As July approaches and maximum temperatures routinely exceed 30 degrees, sporting events are in full swing.

　And that's why I found myself at a nearby athletics stadium, called in to cheer on the team.



"I imagined it, but there are so many of them lined up....cameramen..."

"That's because of your body, isn't it?"



　As I complained in amazement at the barrage of cameras filling the stands, Asuka, who was also participating as a cheering participant, remarked.

　Separate-type uniforms have been sweeping the track and field world recently.

　Of course, it is sponsored by Teisei Department Store.

　The design is made to fit my body perfectly, so now I'm basically wearing a micro bikini.

　Of course, it goes without saying that I was the one everyone was looking out for.

　By the way, since this uniform represents a huge business, I have no choice but to engage in some kind of shameless exhibitionism in a place like this.

　The 2004 Athens Olympics are about to begin.

　The reason why this run-down regional athletics tournament is attracting attention ahead of the showdown between the sports manufacturers is because it has a advertising effect as a celebrity event.

　The sponsor was Teisei Department Store, but the actual production was carried out with the full cooperation of a certain leading domestic sports manufacturer.



"This will sell, right?"



　I was stunned when I saw the first prototype handed to me by the photographer teacher with these words, but it seems that it is actually selling well.

　And so, the Teito Gakushukan Academy Track and Field Club, which was filled with beautiful young ladies, became the center of attention at this stadium.



"This thing is easier to run than I thought."



　Asuka, who made it through the 100m preliminaries, wipes the sweat from her brow and shares her thoughts.

　With the sun shining brightly, we all made sure to smear sunscreen on each other, making the sound of camera shutters really loud.



"It's definitely something you'd expect from something that was custom-made. It's light, easy to move in, and breathable. If it were just a little more stretchy, I'd have no complaints."



　It is said that this uniform reduces air resistance, which can shave 0.1 seconds off your 100m time.

　In fact, it's not just the eroticism that has the camera guys buzzing, but also the fact that the members of Teito Gakushukan Academy's track and field team have made it through various preliminaries.

　In particular, in the women's short distance race, Asuka and other athletes dominated the top spots.

　There was no way I wouldn't have noticed that the way the students from the strong athletics schools looked at us had changed from contempt to hostility and then to envy.

　The trick wasn't just in the uniform; it was also in the shoes.

　They say it's a custom-made item made just for us by a world-famous shoe manufacturer, and the basic designs have already been handed over to each of the athletes as their weapons of choice for the Athens Olympics in August.

　There is no doubt that the reduced strain on the feet provided by shoes has also played a part in this recent success.



"So, Luna-chan, are you going to be in the 3000?"

"Yeah. Well, I'll just go for a quick run."



　While answering Asuka's questions, I was called and stood at the starting line for the 3000m race.

　He takes off running as the starting pistol sounds, with a self-deprecating smile on his face as he wonders why he has to stand in such a place, facing the scornful hostility of his rival runners and the gazes of the rows of cameras.

　My body had been going well during the practice run, and I raced around the track as lightly as if I had wings.

　People around me cheered, but it wasn't just because I felt good physically.

　This was due to the high expectations for my costume, which was different from anything I'd had before, and the vastly different performance of my running shoes.

　The proof of this is that there is no one in front of me.

　It's a speed that I would never have believed possible before.

　When I finally crossed the finish line and returned, Asuka greeted me with an indescribable look on her face.



"A record for the regional tournament. Maybe it's a record for the metropolitan tournament too?"



　Oh no. I went too far.

　The sound of camera shutters continued to ring as I poured water over my sweaty body to cool down, but I had a grin on my face.

　Seven people, including me and Asuka-chan, won and advanced to the Tokyo tournament. I should note that four of us, including Asuka-chan and me, set records.

　Naturally, he declined to participate in the Tokyo tournament.

　Asuka will be participating in a tournament in her hometown of Ehime, so we decided to register her there.

　As for me, I was able to promote my uniform and shoes, and I also fulfilled my obligation to Teito Gakuen Academy's track and field team.

　Thus, a banner reading "Congratulations! Keikain Runa, winner of the 3000m at the regional tournament!" was displayed on the side of the school building.

　This kind of thing is valued at private schools, so the track and field club's predicament may be alleviated for the time being.

　Furthermore, these uniforms and shoes, which sold like hotcakes after the Athens Olympics, caused controversy due to their extreme appearance, but they quickly became mainstream as athletes demanded to be even 0.1 seconds faster.
