Bonding Arc Chapter Eight: A Culprit Escapes! Swimming Lessons with Hina!

Original Release: April 14, 2020 (Fanfiction.net), April 15, 2020 (AO3)

Summary

When a culprit escapes after being chased through a lake, a humiliated Kyoko reluctantly accepts Hina's offer for swimming lessons. Will Kyoko bond with the Ultimate Swimming Pro through her teachings?

Tropes

  • Accidental Pervert: Defied. One of the reasons that Makoto doesn't join Kyoko in her swimming lessons with Aoi is because he doesn't want others accusing him of trying to sneak a peek.
  • Call-Forward: Past!Makoto notes how Past!Aoi would make for a good P.E. instructor, which is what Present!Aoi becomes in the New Hope's Peak.
  • The Cameo: Yui Samidare makes a brief appearance after catching a criminal in Kyoko's case.
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: Downplayed. While she isn't nasty, she can be a little intense in her lessons and pushes her student to do their very best, something that Kyoko and Kiki can attest to.
  • First-Name Basis: Before the two of them begin their swimming lesson, Aoi lets Kyoko call her "Hina".
