NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT

CHAPTER 28 OF THE MANGA

(The prequel to the Summer! Sea! Youth! Story Arc)

## Previously

After much blood, sweat, and tears, as well as biting her fingernails down to a nub, Karii Maki finally was able to once again go through a detransition, so as to be able to change from male to female, and back again as needed. The power boost control on her iphone malfunctioned, but was rebuilt and reactivated to respond as it was meant to. So Karii is now back to her fun-loving, cheerful self. Not so much for Akria Asaba, as he struggles with his own personal 'research' on how he can become more accustomed to looking at and being around Maho Shoujo girls, not to mention trying to be at ease socially with typical teenage girls.

## Chapter Overview

It seems that more looking is going on than swimming. The boys like to ogle at the girls wearing the school's swimsuit. Everyone except Akria, since he can not see well without his glasses. In the afternoon, Karii and Karin go shopping for new swimsuits for the upcoming summer season. And this is the first time Karii will purchase and wear a swimsuit. She thinks that she wants a one-piece tank style swimsuit, but she actually settles for a French cut bikini. Surprisingly, Karin also decides on buying and wearing her first bikini swimsuit. This after Karii gives her honest opinion that Karin looks 'crazy cute' wearing a little girl's style bikini. Both girls are now ready to soon 'hit the beach' !

## This Chapter's Story

It's the time of the year that it is warm enough to have the PE classes outside, at the swimming pool. The boys are on one side of the pool, and the girls are all on the other side. Still, this does not stop certain boys with good eyesight from looking at the girls dressed in their official school tank style swimsuits. The tight fit of the girl's swimsuits means that much can be seen. And two boys are taking their best looks ! Lo and behold, Karin Saku does look like a *teen loli* (\*) after all ! Naoya announces that PE in the summer is the absolute best ! Minami totally agrees. But then the 'spoil sport', Akria, comes by and remarks that if ones stare too much, they will be yelled at by the teacher. Akria is in a foul mood. He would like himself to be looking, for his female research, mind you. But without his glasses, his vision is too blurry to see much of anything at a distance. Minami is staring at the girls for an entirely different reason, unique to himself. He wants to know what it feels like to wear, as the female Karii Maki, a girl's tank type swimsuit.

That afternoon, after school, Karii Maki (Minami transitioned to a teenage female) and Karin Saku, still wearing their school uniforms and carrying their bookbags, are in the swimsuit section of a major department store. As the two girls browse the ample collection of swimsuits, Karin asks Karii what kind of swimsuit does she want ? Karii sincerely replies that she wants a 'cute one' ! Karin notices a fetish style string swimsuit, but both girls wisely decide that the style is just not their kind of fashion.

    Karii continues looking, and finds an old fashioned tank style one-piece swimsuit that she likes. She wants to know if she can try it on ? Karin says that she can in the dressing rooms, but only if she leaves her underwear on.
A short time later, Karii pulls back the curtain of the dressing room, and steps out in the one-piece tank swimsuit, so similar to the school's official swimsuit. Karin's only comment is that she thought that Karii would want a cute bikini. Karii counters with the thought that wearing a bikini would be like wearing only your underwear at the beach. Karin asks how does it feel ? Karii begins to have second thoughts about this style, as she comments that she feels like the super stretch fabric is pulling on her top and her bottom. That, and she does not like that fact that the tight fabric really puts a squeeze on her stomach. Karii finally declares that she will go with a bikini after all !

Stepping once again into the dressing room, soon, the curtain is pulled back once again. This time to reveal a dark blue French cut bikini, the kind with tie straps at the back of the neck and at the shoulder blades, and on both sides next to the hips. Look at me ! But Karin is gone !

Looking around the swimsuit department, wearing only her bikini, Karii finally finds Karin also pulling back the curtain of a dressing room. Wonder of Wonders !!! Karin has decided to try on a bikini swimsuit herself ! It is a innocent and attractive little girl's style, with ruffles around the neckline of the bikini top, and ruffles around the top of the bikini panties. Karii loudly blares out her unbiased opinion---

" WOW ! **THAT'S CRAZY CUTE !!!!!!** "

This takes Karin entirely by surprise ! Karii goes on and on about how cute that swimsuit really is. This causes Karin now to have second thoughts about her choice of this particular bikini. Usually dense as a rock Karii now picks up on Karin's apprehension and uncertainty. Karii tells her that the style with ruffles *really suits her personality.* Really, intones a pouting Karin ? ***Really,*** confirms Karii ! Finally, a reassured Karin says that she now feels glad about the little girl's bikini. This is the style of swimsuit that she will buy and wear !

With both girls in the store, right out in the open wearing bikini's, Karii mentions that the both of them just have to go somewhere together to go swimming. Karin breaks out in a wide smile, as she realizes that this suggestion is just as good as Karii asking her out for a date at the beach! Karii then ruins the mood by saying that she wants Chiyoko to join them, making it a threesome. Miffed but undaunted, Karin only mutters to herself that she knew that it would turn out this way.

Akria Asaba is frustrated by the fact that he would dearly love to continue his 'research' into the female form and presentation, and stare at the girls wearing their swimsuits, but his poor eyesight without his glasses make that just not possible during the PE class.

And what will happen with Maniacal girl [and their research] ? fufufu

lady vivi ★ / 1 year ago
One-piece [swimsuits] really do be like that.

**Sheep in Wolf's Clothing / 9 months ago**

Yes, lady vivi, one-piece tank swimsuits are exactly like that, like how Karii described it. That is why I switched to wearing a bikini swimsuit myself !

[Regarding Karii] We say "girl" ([not] boy) in these lands.
