==Inside Story==

Asama’s Morning

Lately, while performing the morning water purification of Asama Shrine’s spring, Asama had confirmed a certain fact.

It had to do with the buoyancy of the human body. She had been vaguely aware since her first year, but she was sure of it now that she was in her second year.

She was the type of person who floated.

But that was a matter of physics and was perfectly normal.

However, she had never paid attention before, so she had to wonder if she was the only one. It may have had to do with the diet divine protection included in her Shinto contract.

…''Maybe other people sink like a rock when they get in the water.

She was a little sleep deprived and felt she might not be thinking clearly, but she decided to ask someone with similar stats.

“Kimi? Um, I have a question. …Do you float?”

“In what way? Emotionally? Spiritually? Or do you mean my mood?”

Those were all the same thing, but Asama wanted to avoid saying she meant the breasts. Saying that during the water purification would send her Shinto impurity meter off the charts. So she chose her words more carefully.

“Um…I’m referring a part of the human body. I can’t say anything too weird since I’m in the middle of my water purification.”

“I suppose not. But float? …Is it something very important to women and does it stick out from the body?”

It sounded like Kimi had caught on, so Asama nodded in the spring.

“Yes, yes. That’s what I mean.”

“Judge. I think I get the picture. Now, just to be sure, what about it?”

“Well, I realized I float there, so I was wondering if you’re the same.”

“You!? Float there!?”

“I do. I’m watching it happen right now.”

“W-wait just a second! You’re in the Asama Shrine’s spring, right!? I’ll be right there!”

Through the sign frame, Asama heard her calling for her “foolish brother”.

“Come here, foolish brother! We need to simulate it, so fill a pot with water and stick it right in! Asama grew a penis this morning and she’s playing with it by making it float in the spring, so you need to go fight back with your ‘look, it’s a plesiosaur’ gag!”

“I-I did not grow one of those!! Where did that come from!? I was talking about my breasts!”

“Eh? But you said it was ''a'' part that sticks out. ''A'' part! The boobs are two parts!”

“Ugh. That really pisses me off, but I can’t argue against that!”

“Heh heh. What a silly girl.”

“''I’m'' the silly one!?” she shouted with her blood pressure rising so early in the morning, but then she heard his voice.

“Hey, I just tried it and it doesn’t float at all. …Sis, why are you carrying over an air pump!?”

It seemed those two were as lively as ever.

At any rate, Asama’s chilled head began to wonder if the spring had a water heating function.
