The blue sea, my youth

Mingmei let go of her hand and stood next to Aina. Takaharu and Kohei asked at the same time: "Why are you here?!"

Of course, they asked different people, and none of them paid attention to it. Mingmei gestured to Takaharu with her phone and then looked at Aina, who appeared here most unexpectedly.

Iori: "Aina, didn't you go back to your hometown?!"

"I was back home two days ago." When mentioning this, Aina lowered her head and clenched her fists with gritted teeth, "Every day I open my eyes and close my eyes, I help with farm work.

Those days were really hard. When I pushed the cart, I was urged by my elders to hurry up. Thinking that the seniors were also busy looking for jobs, everyone must have had a hard time. As a result, I opened my phone and saw that you were going to camp on an uninhabited island, and then I saw the photos that Senior Sister Azusa posted in the group. Suddenly I was distracted and my phone was confiscated. It was so miserable.

(Kohei: "I didn't quite understand, but you worked hard.")

Then, when I finally got my phone back, you were at the Yukata Conference and back to Iori's hometown!

(Chisa: "Your phone was confiscated?" Iori: "No wonder I couldn't get in touch." Takaharu: "If I saw the news again and couldn't go, wouldn't it be even more sad.")

In the end, you ran to Palau , why? ? Didn't we agree that you are not allowed to create happy memories when I'm not around... woo~"

As she was talking, Aina was about to cry, and Mingmei hugged her shoulders from behind to comfort her: "It's okay, I didn't participate in these activities."

Takaharu was full of grief and indignation: "I don't have any happy memories at all..."

Iori scratched his head and asked in the same puzzled way: "Can that be considered happy?"

"I think the hard work is greater than the happiness..." Chisa's memories are almost nothing happy, so she sighed helplessly and asked something else, "Aina, Mingmei, when did you arrive?"

Aina thought for a while: "The day before yesterday, I transferred from Formosa."

Mingmei: "I arrived a day later than Aina, and Aina picked me up that day."

Chisa asked about work with concern: "What about the part-time job here..."

At the same time, several people asked questions. Iori asked, "Makeup Corpse Beast, you..."

Kohei said, "I have something to ask you..."

Takaharu said, "I have the same question, but you and Akemi should know..."

Facing the questions of several people at the same time, Aina quickly looked around and said, "Wait a minute, let's go to another place first."

Aina led the others to the parking lot outside. There was a man waiting in a van that was almost the same as the one of Manager Kotegawa. When they came to the van, Aina introduced him in English, "This is the Dolphin clerk, Mr. John."

John waved, "Hello--"

"Hello--" ×3, the trio also waved as a greeting.

Chisa, who knew more English than the trio, said a little more, "Thank you for coming to pick us up."

Aina said, "That's troublesome."

John smiled brightly and said in Japanese, "Okay."

The others put their luggage in the back of the car, and then sat in the front and back rows separately for men and women.

After the car started, Chisa said to Aina in surprise: "He can speak Japanese."

Aina: "I was also shocked."

Aimi: "I thought he didn't know Japanese, so I didn't dare to speak."

John, who was driving in front, was polite and modest: "I only know a little Japanese."

The three people sitting in the row in front of the girls did not participate in this topic, but discussed a problem that they had been concerned about since just now in a low voice with a serious face.

Iori, who was sitting in the middle, started the conversation in a low voice: "Hey, you two..."

Kohei: "What's wrong, Kitahara?" (whispering)

Takaharu: "What's up, Iori?" (whispering)

Iori: "I haven't seen the corpse beast for a long time." (whispering)

Kohei: "Yeah." (whispering)

Takaharu: "Almost a month." (whispering)

Kohei: "So what did she encounter over there?" (whispering)

Takaharu: "I can't help but pay attention." (whispering)

Iori: "Yeah, I'm really concerned." (whispering)

The three of them would look back from time to time. Aina's inexplicably abnormal place was fixed by the seat belt, which made it look even more abnormally plump.

Every time the three of them looked at it, they would frown unconsciously. It's only been about a month, and it has turned from a flat land into a mountain. You can imagine how many holes there are.

Iori turned around and stared ahead and whispered, "Who of you can go ask?"

Kohei whispered, "No, no, you guys should be the ones to do this."

Takaharu whispered, "How can I do this? Iori, you were the first to bring this up.I'll leave it to you."

In order to avoid such an embarrassing question, Iori whispered another idea: "Is she waiting for us to complain?"

Kohei agreed in a low voice: "It's possible..."

Takaharu whispered: "When you ask, she will say 'Why? You stare at someone's chest when you meet, do you care?' This kind of stupid words, and she may also show a look of watching a joke."

Kohei imagined it according to Takaharu's description, and complained in a low voice: "...If she said that."

Iori muttered impatiently: "I'm so angry, and why is it us who ask in the assumption, what about you, Takaharu?"

Takaharu reminded in a low voice: "Why don't you think about it, how can I ask such a question to my girlfriend's best friend, and Mimi is here too. ”

Kohei stole a glance again and whispered, “Yeah, then let’s not pay attention to it…”

Iori couldn’t help but turn his head and stole a glance when he heard the word “pay attention”, and whispered in agreement, “Anyway, let’s just ignore it.”

Then, Takayama slid down in the eyes of the three people, and Aina was still chatting calmly, not noticing the geographical changes at all.

Even as Aina swayed, the speed of Takayama’s sliding down became faster, and the appearance of the sliding down became more obvious.

Takaharu: ‘It’s drooping down!!’

Iori: ‘If you want to pretend, pretend thoroughly!?’

Kohei: ‘Why are you so careless!!’

Takaharu resisted the urge to complain and whispered, “She hasn’t noticed it yet, and we can’t remind her.”

Kohei whispered back, “At this point, we can only rely on Kotegawa and Kawasaki-san.”

Iori agreed in a low voice, “It would be most appropriate to let Chisa or Akemi ask, but I don’t think Chisa will notice. "

Takaharu then whispered: "It's hard to say whether Mingmei can find it, and I'm more worried that Mingmei will say the wrong thing."

As the two talked, Kohei glanced back again: "They didn't seem to see it."

The three people in the back row were still discussing why the driver could understand Japanese. Chisa: "Palau seems to be a pro-Japanese country."

Amei thought of what she had seen in the past two days: "And there are many Japanese people working here."

Aina concluded: "So many people can speak Japanese."

John also agreed: "For example, see you tomorrow, it's so cold."

Chisa seemed to think of something: "I've heard that in Palau, people say "eliminate fatigue" when they toast."

Aina and Mingmei were a little surprised: "Really?" ×2

John nodded: "Yes, they would say that."

"Also," Chisa pointed directly to the mountain that was sliding, "people here call bras chest straps. "

'Great!' ×3, the three people heard Chisa's words and sighed at the same time.

Iori: 'Chisa, you noticed it too!!'

Kohei: 'That's a great way to say it!!'

Takaharu: 'That's great, it wasn't Akemi who said it directly!'

Just then, Akemi was also reminded, she pointed at Aina's peak and said: "Aina, you seem to have..."

Before she finished her words, she was covered by the shy Chisa.

Aina looked down at the sliding peak, artificially stopped the landslide, and restored it to its original peak, and then replied calmly as if nothing had happened: "Is that so——"

This made several people silent, unable to reply, but fortunately, in this awkward atmosphere, John spoke.

John: "We're almost there——"

Several people breathed a sigh of relief and tacitly changed the topic.
