You say this is a love game?

"You plan to let me swim with him? Not impossible, but you still owe me a chance to play. If you want, you can only give it to me for free. I don't want to waste the opportunity on something like this."

"..."

I always feel that alcohol is full of bad intentions.

Miyamizu Inaba also rolled her eyes and no longer had any hope for this stinky ghost king.

Some things are awkward to keep to yourself, but when you actually talk about them, you quickly develop a rapport between good friends. Miyamizu Inaba took off her coat and shorts and placed them on the beach. Mizutani Makoto asked Ippon Tada to keep them safe. The old blacksmith, sunbathing on the beach, waved lazily and promised to keep an eye on them.

Go ahead and play if you want, but don’t disturb me, an old man, from photosynthesis.

Miyamizu Inaba is wearing a girlish two-piece swimsuit with black and white spots, a bow and lace-up details, which really highlights her cuteness. She has a nice figure, with an average bust, a slim waist, long legs, and a perky bottom covered by the swimsuit.

Mizutani Makoto generously gave her a thumbs-up and praised her.

"Isn't this cute?"

Miyamizu Inaba blinked, put her hands on her hips, and smiled with a mixture of happiness and embarrassment.

"..."

The victim of the children's swimsuit opened his eyes wide.

Buho!

This is my part, right?!

But as soon as the short legs took a step on the beach, Mizutani Makoto's figure plunged into the sea like an arrow.

The sea water swallowed him in an instant, leaving only a circle of ripples on the surface, and then returned to calm.

Sunlight penetrated the sea, casting golden beams across the azure waves. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, Mizutani Makoto sank rapidly into deeper waters like a swimming fish.

"How come you're running so fast?"

Miyamizu Inaba looked at the place where Mizutani Makoto disappeared, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

She also plunged into the deep water, her figure lightly sinking into the water, and the wolf tail behind her neck floated in the water like a blooming black lotus.

She opened her eyes and saw the familiar figure in front of her through the clear sea water.

The two swam quickly out of the beach to avoid being washed back by the waves, and broke out of the water after staying a little further away from the beach.

Miyazu Inaba pushed her wet bangs behind her ears and asked loudly, "Mizutani, where are you going?"

The inhuman ghost girl and the boy with full physical strength and spiritual support, if they really want to swim until they are exhausted... they will probably have to swim for a whole day without stopping.

But Makoto Mizutani didn't have any ideas for the time being.

He was just in a good mood and felt extremely free, so he came to the sea to play.

He looked up and found that a crow was following him. There were seven crows resting on the beach, but only Matsushita Yutsuki followed.

Mizutani Makoto glanced back at the beach. The water near the shore always had a light yellow-green color. There were more plankton in the shallow sea area, and the water was ultimately not as blue as the water in the distant sea area.

Mizutani Makoto waved towards Miyazu Inaba:

"I have a friend who must be eager to see the blue water. Let's swim forward. When we've had enough, we'll go back—"

"Okay! Listen to you!"

Gong Shui Inaba nodded.

Mizutani Makoto also moved forward.

He talked to Kei Matsushita, and it seemed that everything was just as Kei Matsushita said, swimming is like running. From the moment you start swimming, you don’t need to think about anything else. Just swim forward, swim forward with a goal, and that’s enough.

"Wow... Wow..."

Mizutani Makoto didn't know how far he had swum, but the world gradually became wider. He could still see the islands and beaches behind him, but the sea water was already a much deeper blue than the sky. He suddenly stopped and turned to backstroke, floating on his back on the sea, his head resting on the blue sea water and looking at the blue sky.

Miyamizu Inaba also stopped, put her hand on Mizutani Makoto's shoulder, and pulled it jokingly. Seeing that Mizutani Makoto was as steady as a rock, she turned over as well and lay on her back with him.

The girl's bangs were quite long and wet, sticking to her face, which looked a bit funny. Mizutani Makoto tilted his head slightly and could still see her hair scattered in the water. It was really troublesome to have such long hair. She didn't prepare a swimming cap in advance, and the scattered hair must have affected Miyamizu Inaba's performance.

But swimming such a long distance would take at least an hour.

The two of them were completely unfazed by their proximity, perhaps even oblivious to the fact that the other person was of the opposite sex… Which person of the opposite sex could swim with them at this pace for over an hour? And could they even have the same life-or-death experience they had before?

Just float quietly for a while.

With Sister Ling Ya helping to lead the way, there was no way they would get lost at sea.

As Mizutani Makoto was floating, a pop-up window suddenly flashed before his eyes.

——Task pop-up window.

[Main Quest: A Boy's Fantastic Journey]

[Task Description: Is being indecisive normal for young people? Oh my! New and yet, the young man is once again caught in a whirlpool of heart-pounding excitement. The message in the bottle is already in front of him. Why not quickly pick it up and find the female guest he's attracted to?]

[Quest requirements: Find the cracks drifting in the sea and open the door to a new world.]

Mizutani Makoto: "?"

Don't I have to fight anymore?

What do you mean by a floating crack in the sea?!

Chapter 178 Teleportation Point: Shipwreck Shuten: Blood flows into a river and the wet girl is above the head of the sea girl.

There's a new map?

"A crack in the sea..."

Mizutani Makoto muttered.

Tongzi seemed to understand that looking for a drifting crack in the sea was like looking for a needle in a haystack, so a new interface popped up in his field of vision, which was directly the function of a small map. It was centered on the two-dimensional avatar of Makoto Mizutani, surrounded by endless blue, and a tiny yellow dot was flashing in the distance.

Mizutani Makoto fell silent.

This map looks a bit far away.

"Swim over and find a gap? I think we should go back and drive the yacht over to find it... Wait, it seems we don't need that?"

Mizutani Makoto took out the [Invisible Bird] from his backpack.

This is Mai Yajima's shikigami medium.

The crow above tilted its head curiously, and Miyamizu Inaba next to it blinked in confusion. Under the gaze of the man and the crow, Mizutani Makoto called out to the distant Shikigami through the medium. The moment the contact was made, Yajima Mai returned directly to the medium and jumped out of it.

"How could you leave me?"

Yajima Mai was about to scold this stuffy man, but she didn't realize that this was the sea, and she immediately fell into the sea. She hurriedly pulled Mizutani Makoto up and asked him what happened.

Miyamizu Inaba just floated quietly, ignoring Shuten who was also soaking in the sea water next to her. She looked at the girlfriend of her senior who had been demoted from girlfriend to daughter. Her eyes fell on the other's children's swimsuit, and for some reason she suddenly wanted to laugh.

Hold it!

The girl rubbed her face and reminded herself not to be too rude.

"Possessed?"

"Now you know you need my help?"

“Hmph, hmph…eh!”

The girl snorted teasingly, but the next second she had to cling to Mizutani Makoto. Her children's swimsuit had become wet and slippery, and if she wasn't careful, it would slide right off someone.

She struggled for a few seconds, then said, "Let's go!"

Crash——!!

A black storm tore through the sea surface, and pitch-black wings spread out from the sea water. Mizutani Makoto's figure rose into the sky from the waves like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

He flapped his wings lightly, and the water droplets were thrown out like bullets, all evaporating in the sunlight.

Miyamizu Inaba was held in his arms.

The girl didn't have time to react. She felt a tightness around her waist and her whole body was lifted up by a force. In the blink of an eye, her body was out of the embrace of the sea.

The wind whistled in my ears and the sunlight shone down blindingly.

She looked down and found that she was already sixty or seventy meters high. The sea surface was like a huge blue canvas, with waves rippling and the sunlight reflecting countless tiny golden lights.

She blinked violently in confusion at first, then suddenly looked up at the person holding her.

"…Mizutani? When did you learn to fly?"

Shuten glanced at Kuroba behind him in surprise, then grinned.

"I just learned it recently."

The boy wearing a bird demon mask flapped his wings.

Without the "noble" neutrality of Nizashiki, his image is even wilder than during the "Double Summoning" period. Not only does he have wings on his back, but his naked upper body also has wild-like hair floating around his shoulders and wrists. Even his nails have become sharper, like a tiger's claws.

His physique has become more robust. If he was a swordsman before, he now gives people the feeling of a berserker in physical combat.

Miya Mizumi Inaba sniffed and it was a familiar demonic aura... Mizutani Makoto would have a demonic aura when he transformed. He had already realized this when he killed the ghost doll before.

Mizutani Makoto: "This is my first time taking someone into space. If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me."

"I'm not uncomfortable..."

Miyamizu Inaba twisted her body slightly, adjusting to a more comfortable lying position, and muttered softly, "But I was really scared... Next time if you want to take me flying, please let me know in advance. I almost drew my sword just now."

The sky is Miyamizu Inaba's weak point.

She was not good at air combat at all, and she inevitably felt insecure in the sky where she had no support.

The girl took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Where are we going next? Are there any enemies?"

Mizutani Makoto nodded slightly: "I sensed something unusual and wanted to investigate."

It definitely won't work to just leave Miyamizu Inaba here.

Mizutani Makoto used the Nue's spirit to travel very fast, so even if he took Miyamizu Inaba with him, it would not be a burden.

With the flapping of his wings, Mizutani Makoto rushed straight towards the direction shown on Tongzi's map.

The sound of the wind, the sound of the violent wind.

It was the first time for Makoto Mizutani to fly outdoors. The pilgrimage route has a "ceiling", and that ceiling of more than 20 meters is the limit of what Makoto Mizutani can fly. The feeling of flying is far inferior to that above the endless ocean. He can flap his wings at will and soar into the sky. Without considering Miyamizu Inaba's feelings, he can even flap his wings and soar into the sky.

Moreover, without the restrictions of walls, the advantages of flying are truly demonstrated.

This speed far exceeds walking or running. A distance of dozens of meters disappears in a flash. He does not have to worry about the terrain or the enemy when hurrying on his way... If he had this flying mode when he was in the private Hiiragigaoka Academy, why would he worry about "hurrying on his way"?

The distance between Mizutani Makoto and the yellow dot on the map is getting closer and closer.

Soon, Mizutani Makoto flapped his wings and hovered over the sea. He carefully observed the moving yellow dot and immediately flew forward several hundred meters, landing directly on a beach.

"arrive."

Mizutani Seimichi.

Miyamizu Inaba jumped down. This was also an island, but it was much smaller than the island purchased by the Yajima family. It even looked like a reef exposed above the sea, making people feel that as soon as the tide rose, the waves would submerge this place.

The yellow dot was not here originally.

Mizutani Makoto was also surprised. The crack seemed to be really "drifting". They were moving, and the crack was also wandering irregularly. When they arrived at the island, the crack had drifted about one kilometer away.

"Is there... anything here?"

Gong Shui Daoyu frowned.

Shuten also frowned, but the Demon King was more reliable than Miyamizu Inaba after all. She looked forward as if she sensed something, and it happened to be the direction that Mizutani Makoto was paying close attention to.

Mizutani Makoto: "Yes, Miyamizu, you wait here for a while, I'll go ahead and scout the way."

He is an undead with a high tolerance for error. If he has a choice, he will definitely go to the crevice alone.

Soon, on the small map provided by Tongzi, his portrait overlapped with the glowing yellow dot.

【Ding--】

[The gate to the new world is loading——]

This time, there are no restrictions on time or location.

A familiar golden light burst out from the void, spreading out like water waves and penetrating Mizutani Makoto's body.

The sight in front of me was covered by darkness.

I couldn't open my eyelids, and a terrifying heaviness enveloped me from all directions.
