The blue sea, my youth

Senior Azusa: "She worked hard picking chestnuts in the mountains."

Aina: "She did her homework beforehand."

Akimi: "That's why we were able to pick up a lot of fresh chestnuts."

Iori was in a very complicated mood.

Just then, Kohei showed up and said with a scumbag look: "Of course, we, the group of people who followed you, should also be thanked, right?"

Takaharu added without even swallowing his rice: "And I also helped you peel a lot of chestnuts."

Iori looked at the two of them: "Kohei, what else did you do besides causing trouble, and Takaharu, you peeling chestnuts is just a punishment for losing the game. But I really thank you all."

Senior Tokita: "Oh."

Senior Kotobuki: "Really."

Iori continued shamelessly: "But, I think I really can't repay you."

Senior Tokita: "Money is fine."

Senior Kotobuki: "Money is fine."

Senior Azusa: "Cash is a good thing."

Kohei: "If you want to show your sincerity, just bring money."

Takaharu: Just give the money, nothing else is needed."

Akira: "Money is the best way to show gratitude."

"I really have nothing to repay you, I am so ashamed!" Iori couldn't help but defend himself loudly, "I have already spent all the money I earned from working in Palau."

Takaharu: "Who told you to buy so many little Y books and videos?"

Kohei tempted Iori: "People can live with one kidney."

"I won't sell my kidney! !" Iori had no intention of selling a kidney at all, and said nonchalantly, "If I had money, I could show my sincerity."

Senior Azusa: "What a pity."

Senior Shou: "That's what I said."

Everyone was just joking, of course, this did not include Takaharu and Kohei who really wanted Iori to pay.

After dinner, Iori went to the bathroom by himself before the next dive, but the time was inexplicably long.

Takaharu and the others waited outside for a long time but he didn't come out, so Senior Shou simply called out: "Iori - it's almost time to go."

Iori's voice was inexplicably flustered: "Okay! I'll be right there!"

Takaharu thought he was so flustered because he was afraid of being late for diving, and didn't care. When he saw Iori come out, he turned and walked towards the beach.

Arriving at the beach, after a while, everyone was ready except Kohei who was waiting for Iori. Iori came over swaying from side to side: "Sorry, I'm late."

Kohei who was waiting complained in a bad tone: "Really, you always cause trouble for me as a diving partner. Let's check each other quickly."

Iori: "Okay."

After agreeing, Iori stopped there without moving. Kohei took the lead in checking Iori's equipment. He saw that there was a strap on Iori's left chest that was not fixed properly, so he reminded him: "Hey, your strap is not fixed properly."

"Where?" Iori hurriedly started to tidy it up after hearing it.

Kohei followed Iori's operation and gradually couldn't stand it: "It's not like that, it's the other way around.

You...what are you doing? You always cause me trouble."

As he spoke, Kohei impatiently wanted to help Iori put his equipment in order, but his hand was slapped away by Iori as soon as he stretched it out.

Both of them were stunned at the same time, and then Kohei's tentative hand was slapped away by Iori.

After repeated attempts, Iori couldn't help but shout: "Don't touch me!!"

Hearing Iori's voice, the people around him looked over.

Senior Tokita: "What's wrong with you?"

Senior Shou: "What happened?"

Takaharu: "Is there any emergency?"

Iori hurriedly turned back to explain: "No, nothing happened!"

Kohei, whose mouth was covered, stammered and couldn't speak, but no one paid attention to him, instead he checked his dive partner's equipment again without caring.

After the seniors and Takaharu turned around, Iori apologized to Kohei: "Sorry, let's continue."

"...Okay." Kohei was helpless but continued, "The last thing is to check the cylinder valve."

As soon as Kohei raised his hand, Iori dodged Kohei by dodging to the other side.

Kohei couldn't help it at all, and approached Iori fiercely and questioned: "What are you doing!"

Iori thought of a solution in a hurry: "I did this to protect myself."

Kohei: "Huh?"

Iori shouted loudly and confidently: "You will definitely turn off my valve!"

Kohei was shocked: "So decisive!?"

After hearing Iori's voice, Senior Tokita: "Hey, you two."

Senior Shou: "You can't joke when diving."

Takaharu: "You must be responsible for safety!"

Kohei nodded in approval: "That's it."

Iori's body was still trembling a little, and he sawIt can be seen that he was forcing himself to let Kohei check.

Finally, the preparations for diving were completed, and the group entered the water one after another.

Iori, who had been diving normally before, behaved very abnormally this time. He kept covering his left chest and looking around since he entered the water.

Takaharu, who had not paid attention to him at first, was attracted by his suspicious things, so he gestured to Iori towards the seniors and told them that Iori seemed to have a problem.

Senior Tokita turned back to comfort Iori and gestured: "Stop, are you okay? Adjust your breathing slowly."

Takaharu didn't know what Iori understood, but it was obvious that he didn't understand what the senior gestured, because his gesture was to float up first, then look at him, and then dive down.

The few people who didn't understand guessed that Iori had no problem, but they couldn't make decisions based on subjective guesses in the water, so everyone who was worried that Iori had an abnormality floated up together and ended the dive.

...Diving shop...

While packing up the diving suit, Senior Tokita asked Iori with concern: "Iori, what's wrong with you?"

Iori explained awkwardly: "Nothing, just a little cough."

Senior Shou: "I'm glad nothing happened."

Takaharu: "And you have to learn the diving hand gestures again. What you did just now was totally wrong."

Iori nodded and admitted: "Ah, I was a little panicked just now so I forgot how to make the hand gestures. I will look at the diving hand gestures later."

Iori kept his word and rushed into the bathroom with the diving manual as soon as he changed his clothes.

Takaharu said worriedly: "He won't use the manual as paper, will he?"

Senior Tokita patted Takaharu on the shoulder and said: "That's impossible, let's start the cocktail party!"

"Okay--" Takaharu stopped thinking about it, agreed and went to find Kouhei to drink.

Amei and Aina also found Chisa to discuss the diving spots and diving equipment in the diving magazine.

After Takaharu and the others drank two bottles, Iori came to the hall from the bathroom. When Kohei saw Iori, he picked up a bottle of beer and greeted him: "Here, your beer."

Iori did not take the beer, contrary to his usual behavior, but said: "No, I won't drink it today."

After saying this, Iori walked to the back, obviously going back to his room, but how could he ignore such an obvious abnormality?
