Jin Gangye couldn't help but chuckle foolishly.

Yesterday I was still worrying about how to pretend to pass by the restaurant and find a way to see Taiping often.

Unexpectedly, we suddenly started dating today.

"Daiping, I like you."

"Ah."

"You should tell me you like me too, otherwise I'll always feel uneasy."

Doma Taihei blushed slightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I like you."

"One more time, no, ten more times! I want to record it and use it as my phone ringtone so I can hear it every day."

"Don't do that, don't you feel ashamed?"

"A little bit, hehe... I even want the whole world to know that we're together."

……

Hearing the sounds coming from inside the house, Doma Umaru silently walked past.

As I walked down the corridor, I stopped and sat down slowly. I looked up at the moon in the sky and sighed softly.

"Lonely?"

Seeing this, Masamune, who was passing by, sat down next to her and asked softly.

"Ah."

Doma Umaru nodded gently and said in a slightly sad voice:

"Even though I knew it all along, even though I had made up my mind, it still hurts a little when it actually turns out like this. What about Mashiro?"

"I was drawing in my room to record the scenery I saw at the beach today. I started with a sketch and will finish it when I get back."

"Oh, is that so? Can I borrow your shoulder for a moment?"

"Ah."

Doma Umaru tilted his head slightly, leaned on Masamune's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Actually, I never thought I would share my brother with other people."

"But after reading your animation script, I suddenly realized something: my brother has put in so much effort for me."

"Although Umaru loves her brother very much, as siblings, they can't always be together."

"Compared to Umaru, my brother should be more selfish and should be kinder to himself."

“Ebina is actually quite nice, but she’s too young. My brother can’t wait for her for several more years. Besides, I don’t want to call Ebina ‘sister-in-law’.”

"Looking at it this way, Sister Ye is more suitable."

"Thank you. Although I feel a little lonely, from today onwards, my brother will no longer be alone during the holidays."

Listening to Doma Umaru's confession, Masamune inexplicably felt a little sorry for her.

"Feel sorry."

"Please don't apologize, or it will make me seem a bit strange. I created this situation entirely on my own initiative, so I should be smiling and welcoming the ending."

"Don't force yourself to laugh when you can't. Besides, this isn't the end, but rather a new beginning."

"That's true, the moon is really beautiful tonight."

"Yes."

Chapter 203 A Woman's Age Is a Confidential Matter

The next morning, Masamune and his group went to the Grand Blue diving equipment store and met Nanaka Kotegawa, the instructor recommended by Azusa Hamaoka the day before.

"None of you have any prior diving experience?"

"No, I've only seen some scenes on TV. When I go to the beach, I usually only stay on the shore."

"It's alright, in that case, I'll guide you properly..."

Once it was confirmed that the group wasn't just acting on a whim but genuinely wanted to try it out, Nanaka Kotegawa began to explain things carefully after they registered.

For example, as a beginner, without obtaining a diving certificate, you can only experience diving in shallow water, and the depth must not exceed 12 meters, and the time is also strictly limited.

At the same time, you must follow the instructor's instructions and not move around randomly underwater, etc.

"...Even with so many precautions, do you still want to experience diving?" Nanaka Kotegawa asked with a smile.

"Well, it's a rare opportunity to come to the beach, so we should definitely give it a try."

"That's right. Many people become interested in scuba diving because of their first courageous attempt. Let me first make sure you don't have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or any other medical conditions?"

"No, I shouldn't need to provide a medical examination report, right?"

"No need for that. We'll just do some simple tests later. If you're sure you're healthy, please fill out the form and pay here."

"no problem."

Masamune turned to the others and asked with a smile:

"So, anyone who doesn't want to go into the water?"

"Hmm... It's not that I'm not interested in diving, but at 12 meters, you can't see much, can you?" Karasuma Chitose said unconsciously.

"Twelve meters is actually enough."

Nanaka Kotegawa said with a smile:

"Most of the beautiful marine life, such as fish and corals, is concentrated in waters above 15 meters. You can already see many beautiful things at 12 meters."

"Moreover, this is also for security reasons."

"Alright, let's give it a try. But I don't have much money on me, so I don't know if I can afford the diving fee." Karasuma Chitose glanced at Masamune without saying a word.

"It's on me, you don't need to pay."

Masamune smiled and then said:

"The only thing you need to pay attention to is to listen carefully. Once underwater, follow the instructor's instructions and don't act on your own."

"Of course, I'm not stupid."

Karasuma Chitose smiled slightly. As expected of the president, he didn't even need to give any hints.

It's really great that I don't have to spend my own money.

I'd heard about scuba diving before, but I'd never tried it because I didn't have the money or any friends to go with.

"Do you want to go into the water together?" Nanaka Kotegawa asked again.

"If that doesn't work, we can split it into two groups."

"No, that's not it. According to regulations, introductory diving requires an instructor, and we don't have that many people at our shop. If you're not busy, please wait a moment while I call a few friends over."

"No problem, we're available all day today."

Soon after, after more than an hour of preparation, at around 10 a.m., Masamune and the others went into the water together under the guidance of many instructors.

Since underwater communication is impossible, all communication is done through gestures.

The scenery was truly beautiful; it felt like opening the door to a new world.

It wasn't until the experience ended and they returned to the island that the group came to their senses.

"Diving is so much fun! I really want to go deeper and explore."

Upon hearing Doma Umaru's remark, Kotegawa Nanaka immediately struck up a conversation with her with great interest:

"If you want to experience more of the fun of diving, it's best to get a diving certificate. You can get a basic diving certificate in three or four days, it's not that difficult."

"Moreover, the price of introductory diving is relatively high without a certification."

"Actually, joining the school's diving club is also a good option. With guidance from senior members, it's convenient in many ways..."

"I will seriously consider it," Doma Umaru said with a smile.

After changing his clothes in the dressing room, Masamune returned to the store and found that he and his companions were still alone. Curious, he asked:

"It's summer vacation now, which should be peak tourist season, so why does your store seem to be doing so poorly?"

"Because the diving community is very small, most of the people who come to the store are regular customers. Many interested travelers are scared away by the high prices and complicated preparations even if they get in."

"That's true. In that case, would you like to cooperate with me?"

Masamune did not hesitate and went straight to the point:

"I run an animation company, and after experiencing scuba diving today, I found it quite interesting."

"Therefore, I plan to create an animation with diving as the theme and your store as the setting. I wonder if I could get your permission?"

“That’s a good thing, of course you can do it.” Nanaka Kotegawa said without hesitation. “I love diving and I hope to let more people know the joy of diving.”

"Thank you very much. In that case, I will have someone come over in a couple of days to sign the authorization contract with you."

"Huh...? What kind of authorization is it?"

“We will incorporate your images into the animation exactly as they were made, therefore, we will be using your portrait rights.”

"As long as you don't fabricate or falsify facts, I don't care."

"Thank you very much. I may need your help in providing some materials for the creation of the animation script later."

"Is it about diving? No problem."

"Then it's settled."

Masamune knew very well that what he was doing was no different from fraud.

Although I don't know how old Kitahara Iori is, or whether he's in college, I wonder if the anime I'm about to create, "Grand Blue," is a story that's still unfolding or a future that hasn't happened yet.

However, as a comedic work, this animation will definitely have a huge impact on the individuals involved, which could be positive or negative.

However, it doesn't do much harm to Nanaka Kotegawa herself.

The store's business will definitely improve after the anime airs.

How old is Ms. Kotegawa this year?
