Swimming (chapter)

is the tenth chapter of the Nisekoi manga series written and illustrated by Naoshi Komi, published weekly in the magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary
Still thinking about the events that had happened in the warehouse, Raku accidentally overhears Kosaki and Ruri talk about a promise that Kosaki made to a certain boy ten years ago. This shocks Raku as he suspects that Kosaki might be the "promised" girl. However, Ruri wants to find out about Raku's real feelings, since she suspects that Raku likes Kosaki and not Chitoge, and plans to get Kosaki and Raku together. She does this by suggesting that Raku, Chitoge and Kosaki come to the swimming pool to help participate in the girl's swim team, but really intends to give Kosaki a little push in Raku's direction.

While at the swimming pool, Ruri questions about what had happened between Raku and Chitoge at the warehouse, to which the fake couple replies that it was just an accident. Out of nowhere, Shū appears and starts commenting on the girls' body figure except Ruri's. This enrages her and she deliberately tries to drown Shū. She also instructs Raku to help give Kosaki swimming lessons for tomorrow's practice match. While teaching her, Raku messes up due to the fact that he can't concentrate when he's up close with Kosaki, thus both of them fall into the water. After getting up, they decide to take a break, with Kosaki offering to get both of them a drink. Unknowingly, she leaves her precious key behind, to which Raku notices. Taking the opportunity, he takes out his pendant and uses the key.
