The blue sea, my youth

The evil ways have failed, and the trip to Okinawa is about to start. The three people have no choice but to continue their part-time jobs.

They have been helping with the move for several consecutive days. Their arms are covered with plasters. Kohei is even more exaggerated. He even has plasters on his legs. On the way back to the diving shop, he happened to meet Chisa and the other two who were also going back to the diving shop.

(The positions of the people walking from left to right are: Kohei, Aina, Iori, Chisa, Takaharu, Akemi)

Iori's arms can't stop shaking, "This is the pain of continuous part-time work..."

"Have you collected enough money for the training?" Aina saw that the three were shaking when they walked, and was still curious about their work results.

Takaharu: "There's still a little left..." Kohei: "We'll earn the rest tomorrow."

Chisa saw the three of them like this and thought it was impossible for them to help move, so she asked: "What kind of work do we have to do?"

Iori: "Senior Azusa introduced us to be the staff at the event site."

"Staff at the event site?" Akemi thought, "The kind that maintains order?"

Takaharu: "From what Azusa said, it should be."

"Wow, it feels very tiring." Aina felt tired after thinking about it in her mind.

Kohei: "We have no choice now."

At this point, Iori thought of something: "If you don't have enough money, do you want to come together?"

Takaharu: "Yes, Senior Azusa said that there is a shortage of female staff."

Kohei: "It's okay to join temporarily."

Aina thought for a while and said: "No need."

Akira: "I still have some money saved."

Chisa: "Me too."

As they talked, they walked to the diving shop.

Iori: "Hello, everyone--"

Seeing the group coming back together, the seniors in the store were a little confused.

Senior Shou: "Did the six of you come together?"

Kohei: "We met by chance nearby."

After entering the store, Takaharu went to sit at the bar with Akemi, and Nanaka was chatting with Senior Azusa.

Senior Azusa held a magazine and said, "This dicom is very cheap." (Dicom in Japanese sounds similar to radish)

Nanaka: "That's great--"

Iori, who was also going to the bar, heard this and was a little confused: "Do you need radishes?"

"We're thinking about whether to buy one." Senior Azusa leaned back on the chair.

Nanaka: "I want to buy another one, but it's out of budget."

Iori said nonchalantly: "Then I'll go buy it."

The two were surprised by this, but it was a little hard to say it. Seeing the two like this, Iori said: "Don't be so polite."

Senior Azusa: "No, it's because of that..."

Nanaka: "Yes."

The two said together: "It's quite expensive."

Iori still thought they were just talking about radishes, and after hearing this, he thought: 'How poor do they think I am?', and then said: "Oh, I can still buy a radish even if I'm poor."

The two understood after this, and Takaharu and Akemi who were listening also understood.

When Senior Azusa didn't let Nanaka explain clearly, Takaharu also stopped Akemi who was about to speak with a sly smile.

Senior Azusa shouted to Chisa who was reading a book: "Chisa, what would you do if Iori said he would buy you a dicom?"

Chisa looked at Iori seriously and replied shyly: "Ten...fifteen minutes..." She covered her mouth with the book in her hand, "In that case, I will treat him as a human for fifteen minutes..."

Senior Azusa was happy, "Did you hear that, Iori? Congratulations☆"

"I want to know what she has thought of me so far." Iori did not feel happy, "Why do you want radishes? For dinner?"

"No, Iori, we are talking about dicoms, not radishes." Nanahua finally explained.

Takaharu picked up the magazine and turned to the page about diving computers. "Is this it? A diving computer?"

"Yes, that's right, it's this..." Senior Azusa saw the picture and realized that it was correct. "By the way, it's about 30,000 to 100,000 yen."

After hearing the price, Iori approached Chisa and stared at her resentfully. "I bought you such an expensive thing, but you're only willing to treat me like a human for 15 minutes..."

Chisa looked to the other side. "This is the biggest concession I've made."

Seeing that the newcomers had arrived, Seniors Tokita and Shou packed up their things and stood up.

Senior Tokita: "Since everyone is here, let's go."

Senior Azusa followed suit and stood up: "That's right."

The seniors were in perfect harmony, and the freshmen were full of doubts.

Iori: "Hey, where are we going?" TakaharuZhi: "It's not suitable for diving now. My muscles are still sore."

Senior Shou waved his hand, "No diving today. We plan to take you to see the diving equipment."

………………

When they opened the door of the diving shop, they were shocked to see such a big shop for the first time.

Iori: "There are so many kinds of equipment."

Takaharu: "The place is so big!"

Kohei: "I don't know where to start."

Aina: "Some of them I haven't seen before."

Amei: "I thought the types of diving equipment were only those used for diving."

Chisa was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Before starting to shop, Iori still asked: "Is there anything I need to buy?"

Takaharu: "Is it the commonly used ones?"

Kohei: "But I heard that you only need to rent diving equipment at the beginning."

Amei and Aina also remembered what Nanaka said before: 'First prepare swimsuits and towels. ’

Seniors Tokita and Shou said that Kohei was not mistaken, and said to the trio in unison: "At the beginning, just a towel is enough."

The trio also replied in unison: "I see."

Hearing their usual conversation, Aina and Akemi looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Senior Tokita continued, “By the way, if you want to buy personal equipment, we recommend buying a diving mask at first.”

Senior Shou: “Although the relatively low price is one of the reasons.”

Senior Tokita: “But the more important reason is that the purpose of diving is to better appreciate the beautiful scenery in the water.”

Senior Shou: “If the mask is not suitable, it will be very disappointing if you can’t enjoy the beautiful scenery.”

“That’s true.” ×3

Senior Tokita: “Some people think that they should start with a diving computer.”

Senior Shou: “I guess it’s because they want to have their own safety equipment to reduce the risk of suffering from diving disease.” (Dipping disease: In the process of air pressure, due to excessive fluctuations and too fast speed, the gas dissolved in the body cannot be expelled from the body with breathing, and bubbles are formed in the tissues and blood. It may even cause sudden loss of consciousness, cardiac arrest, and sudden death.)

Hearing this, the trio was a little confused.

Iori: "But we haven't worn a diving computer so far..."

Takaharu: "Will there be any problems?"

Kohei: "Or will it cause any hidden dangers?"

Faced with the concerns of the three people, Senior Tokita explained: "You don't have to worry about this problem."

Senior Kotobuki: "I didn't let you dive to a dangerous depth before."

Senior Tokita: "Besides, in order to avoid such things from happening, diving instructors will pay special attention."

Senior Kotobuki: "So it is an indispensable equipment for those who want to dive to a certain depth or want to leave the instructor's activities."

At this time, Iori paid attention When he saw the supplies hanging on the shelf, he was most curious about the item that looked like a hook but had two hooks side by side. He asked the seniors, "What is this?"

Takaharu: "I feel like I've seen it in some videos..."

Senior Shou: "This is a drift hook, just like the literal meaning, it is used to hook things underwater."

Kohei saw an item that looked like a hot water bottle, "What about this?"

Senior Tokita: "That is a diving buoy, which needs to be inflated and used as a sign of someone diving so that ships can avoid it."

"Is this also a diving buoy?" Takaharu found a bag that was larger than the buoy.

Senior Tokita: "This is a buoyancy bag that can be inflated underwater to salvage items."

"I see..." ×3, the three seemed to understand something and touched their chins.

Iori imagined: 'When he was underwater, he held a drift hook in each hand and hooked Takaharu and Kohei's noses respectively, and said he wanted to save them. ’

In Kohei’s imagination: ‘Takaharu and Iori were holding the buoy, and he was constantly inflating it until the buoy exploded and the two of them turned into air. ’

In Takaharu’s imagination: ‘Iori and Kohei were put in buoyancy bags by him and sent to the shark’s mouth. They kept struggling and soon led the shark away. ’

The expressions of the three people changed. Iori: “The sea is really scary.” Kohei: “Yes.” Takaharu: “Too scary.”

‘Judging from their expressions, they are definitely thinking about something stupid. ’ Seeing the expressions of the three people, Aina and Akemi, who are familiar with their personalities, had black lines in their heads.

After explaining, Senior Tokita said: “You guys can just walk around.”

Senior Shou: “Ask us if you don’t understand anything.”

“Okay——”×5

After walking a few steps, Iori saw Senior Azusa holding a hooded diving suit and the obsessedChisa looking at a hemispherical device.

"Chisa, do you want that?" Senior Azusa asked, holding the clothes.

Chisa didn't even raise her head, "Yes."

Senior Azusa: "Not bad, I want this too."

Iori asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Chisa: "This?" Senior Azusa: "What do you think it is?"

"Hmm..." Iori imagined, 'Takaharu and Kohei wearing the clothes in Senior Azusa's hand, with stream hooks hanging on their noses, the one Chisa is looking at on their heads, buoys tied to their chests, and buoyancy bags on their backs...', and said with certainty, "It's a prop for a party, right?"

Senior Azusa: "That's more like Iori's answer."

Chisa was speechless, "...You forgot what this store sells."

Senior Azusa then said, "This is a diving suit for cold weather."

"I see," Iori looked at Chisa, "What about yours, Chisa?"

"This is a relatively new camera." Chisa gave a brief description, "It is said that it can take 360° photos like this. It seems that it can be opened by sliding."

Iori: "This is indeed very novel."

Senior Azusa: "It's very interesting, isn't it?"

"Iori, Iori," Chisa found another interesting thing and ran over quickly, "Here, here. Hurry up."

Iori asked what was wrong while running over, leaving Senior Azusa stunned.

Chisa picked up two whistle-like things, "There is also this."

"What is this?" Iori didn't understand the purpose at all.

Senior Azusa who came over explained, "It is said that this device allows people to talk underwater."

"Really?" Iori was surprised, "Science is really amazing now."

"It seems to transmit sound through bone conduction." Chisa took a look at the instructions, "But it seems that you need some skills to talk."

"Really, it says 'Using words discussed in advance will be more effective'." Iori also leaned over to read the instructions.

"After all, it's hard to make a sound while biting the regulator." Senior Azusa understood very well.

Aina, who was looking at the regulator on the side, heard this and came over to ask Senior Azusa shyly, "Excuse me, I have a question."

Senior Azusa: "What's wrong?"

"Which regulator is better?" Although Aina's voice was a little low because of shyness, it was still audible.

Senior Azusa was a little confused, "Eh? Regulator?"

Iori pointed at the one she just looked at and asked, "Are you talking about this?"

Chisa: "I think it's fine to rent it now."

"But!" Aina quickly retorted, "Then it would be... indirect kissing..." After saying that, she covered her face shyly.

"You join this club and still care about this kind of thing, in a sense, it's quite impressive." Iori felt admiration after hearing this.

Chisa was even more direct: "I never thought about it."

"Don't worry, this is different from indirect kissing." Senior Azusa explained, "Because it's bitten with teeth, if you have to say it, it's more like sharing a toothbrush."

Aina, who originally thought there was a twist, completely collapsed. In her mind, Kohei said to Iori with a toothbrush: "Come on, use my toothbrush." ', "This is even more disgusting."

Iori looked at Chisa: "What is the actual situation?"

Chisa was also doubting her life: "Does my house get disinfected every day..."

Seeing that Aina was so concerned, Senior Azusa suggested: "If you care so much, how about just kissing directly?"

Iori snapped his fingers, "I actually prefer indirect kissing."

Aina: "Disgusting." Chisa: "Scumbag."

"Ignore him, let's go look at swimsuits." Aina no longer thought about indirect kissing.

"It's not bad to buy a new swimsuit." Chisa decisively followed Aina away.

"Is what I said obscene?" Iori didn't understand.

Senior Azusa: “Who knows.”

In front of the swimsuit rack, Aina pretended to be nonchalant and said, “By the way, Kotegawa-san.”

Chisa: “Just call me Chisa.”

“Then you can call me Aina too.” Aina said while looking at the swimsuits, “I have something to ask you.”

Chisa: “What is it?”

“Are you dating Iori?” Aina asked directly, and then turned to look at Chisa, and found that her expression was very ferocious, “Well, I understand from your expression. What about the time during the Spring Festival?”

“Because of the beauty pageant, I encountered a lot of trouble, so I used him as a shield.” Chisa explained the reason directly, “Besides——”

At this time, the voice of the clerk came, “This gentleman——please change your clothes in the dressing room.”

“That kind of person can’t be listed as a love object at allAh." Chisa finished her words.

Aina: "...Indeed."
