"Of course, Kari-senpai." Miki had bowed politely, unable to hide her curiosity.<br/><br/>The rest of the day passed by in a blur of notes and lectures for her. She made sure to tell Vergil about the meeting however, in between English and Science. "Don't forget, okay Vergil-kun! It's important that we all be there." Once classes were done she steeled herself and made her way down to the pool.<br/><br/><em>You can do this. You can do this. It's not totally improper if the school sponsors it. No one will laugh at you. Ami and Saki aren't here to make fun of you. Maybe no one heard about the incident in Music Club.</em>She swallowed heavily, then made her way into the pool room and with a trembling hand, signed her name on the club register.<br/><br/>"Miki-chan is it?" At her nod the short-haired woman in the mermaid outfit directed her towards a changing room. "Why don't you take a few practice laps and get warmed up." She smiled at the nervous girl and Miki nervously smiled back.<br/><br/>"Yes, Hirahara-sensei." She left and returned a few moments later in a modest black swimsuit and with her hair tucked into a matching rubber cap, blushing from head to toe. She made her way to the pool under the gaze of her fellow swim club members and began her practice laps, her nervousness driving the weirdness of yesterday clear out of her mind for a time.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
