"...Kiyono, there's something in your hair."

Rio Futaba happened to be passing by and looked up at the top of Makoto Kiyono's head.

"What is it?"

Kiyono Makoto reached out and patted his hair.

"It wasn't photographed."

Futaba pursed her pink lips, her tone calm, "Bend down."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto bent down.

Futaba is less than 1.6 meters tall, and even when she stands on tiptoe, she can hardly reach the top of Kiyono Makoto's head.

"...It looks like a duck down?"

Shuangye stretched out her right hand and quickly pinched a light, white feather.

"Thank you for your help, Lady Futaba."

Kiyono Makoto quickly realized that it must have been the down feathers that flew out of the pillow when Eriri threw it at him.

"You're welcome......"

Rio Futaba was about to shake her head when her gaze suddenly sharpened and fell on Makoto Kiyono's shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

Kiyono Makoto asked, puzzled.

"......fine."

Futaba silently looked away.

Golden hair...is that Eriri?

But why is Eriri's hair on Kiyono's shoulder?

"stare--"

Watching the two interacting not far away, Eriri crossed her arms and her pink cheeks involuntarily puffed up.

This is infuriating!

I don't know why, but I'm just incredibly angry!

Chapter 116 The Saintly Classmate Wants a Photo Together

It was already 10 p.m.

The evening breeze is getting chilly.

Having enjoyed the night view for a while, Kiyono Makoto and the girls left the deck and returned to their rooms.

After returning to his room, Kiyono Makoto took a quick shower and then lay down on the single bed.

The cruise ship gently rocked beneath me, the sea breeze whispered in my ears, and images of bullying Zhai Li swirled in my mind. I don't know how much time passed before I finally felt sleepiness creeping in.

Nothing more was said that night.

the next day.

It's 6:30 in the morning.

Kiyono Makoto woke up on time as instructed by his biological clock. He checked the daily intelligence report first, and after confirming that today's report was nothing special, he quietly got up and washed up.

After closing the windows overnight, the air in the room inevitably becomes a bit stuffy.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Makoto Kiyono grabbed his phone and went out to the deck to watch the sunrise.

I climbed up to the sixth deck, thinking there wouldn't be anyone there so early, but I was wrong. There were quite a few early risers, more than a dozen people, who were clearly fellow early risers to watch the sunrise.

"Good morning, Kiyono-kun."

The sea breeze was refreshing, and the girl's sweet and melodious voice drifted into my ears on the sea breeze.

"Um?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow in surprise and then saw a bob-haired girl standing in the corner of the deck.

"Kato? Why are you up so early?"

Kato Megumi stood by the cruise ship's railing, her white dress fluttering gently in the wind, her tone indifferent:

"I had a nightmare just before dawn, and I couldn't fall back asleep after waking up."

"What nightmare?"

"Eh... I'd already forgotten."

"normal."

Kiyono Makoto didn't seem to care. "Most dreams are like that; you forget them completely as soon as you wake up."

Kato Megumi looked up at her; the girl's eyes were clear and bright.

"The air in the room was a bit stuffy, and I'd never seen a sunrise over the sea before, so I came out to watch it alone... Why is Kiyono-kun on the deck?"

Seiji Kiyono replied:

"My biological clock is very punctual; I wake up at 6:30 every morning. It's too stuffy staying in the room, so I came out for a walk. I never expected to run into Kato."

"Well......"

Kato Megumi gently twirled a strand of hair behind her ear, her voice calm and pleasant, "It was indeed quite unexpected."

This is a lie.

It was not an accident.

To deal with werewolf players, the two had lived together for several days, and Kato Megumi had already learned about Seino's daily routine.

I get up promptly at 6:30 in the morning and probably don't have the habit of sleeping in, so I'm very likely to come up to the deck to watch the sunrise.

As expected, Kato 'bumped into' Kiyono Makoto not long after he arrived on the deck.

"The sun is about to rise."

Kiyono Makoto reminded him softly.

Kato Megumi put down her phone and turned to look at the horizon.

"The sunrise over the sea is spectacular..."

As the two watched, a red sun slowly rose from the horizon, its crimson light painting the entire sky and sea red. From afar, it looked as if the sky and sea were on fire, a magnificent and splendid sight.

Click, click.

The sounds of tourists taking photos and cheering could be heard from the surrounding area.

Faced with such a beautiful sunrise, no one could remain unmoved.

Megumi Kato and Makoto Kiyono were no exception; they raised their phones and started taking pictures.

"Huh..."

Kato Megumi lightly swiped her finger across the screen, then suddenly let out a soft "Eh."

"What's wrong?"

Kiyono Makoto asked about the past out of curiosity.

Kato Megumi's expression remained calm:

"Um, I just realized that all the photos I've taken these past few days have been landscape shots; I don't think I've even taken a single photo of the two of us together."

After a slight pause, the sage casually added:

"If there's only scenery and no people, it feels like the memories will fade little by little over time."

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto looked at the bob-haired girl, only to see her quietly flipping through her phone's photo album, her pretty face expressionless, as if she had really just said it casually and had no other intentions.

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems we haven't taken a group photo yet."

Kiyono Makoto suggested, "How about we take two photos together now?"

"Eh..."

"A selfie taken by one person and a photo taken with another person definitely feel different. Let's give it a try."

Kato Megumi pursed her delicate lips, raised her phone to cover her mouth, only her bright eyes gazing at her.

"......Oh well."

Kiyono Makoto stepped forward two steps and stood side by side with Kato Megumi, holding up his phone high:

"Get ready."

Kato Megumi slightly raised her pretty face and looked at the phone camera.

"Three, two..."

Makoto Kiyono begins the countdown.

With just two seconds left, Kato Megumi naturally tilted her head and gently rested it on Kiyono Makoto's shoulder.

Click.

The image freezes instantly.

"Um, my sister went home for vacation the night before last, and we took some pictures together. She said we should pose for the pictures."

Kato Megumi's tone was remarkably natural as she explained:

"Did I cause Kiyono-kun any trouble?"

Kiyono Makoto glanced at his phone:

"There's trouble."

"Huh?"

"My heart was racing and my hands were shaking, which made the photos blurry, so I'm taking two more."

"..."

I've already taken photos; one photo definitely isn't enough.

For the rest of the time, Makoto Kiyono took his friend, Sage, for a walk around the deck, taking pictures of the scenery and group photos, until the sun fully rose above the sea and more and more tourists arrived, finally bringing the trip to an end.

"It feels about right."

Kiyono Makoto opened his phone's photo album to view the photos he had just taken.

Kato Megumi stood beside her, naturally leaning her pretty face over to look at the phone's photo album:

"Hey... Kiyono-kun takes really good photos."

"That's right, I seem to have a real talent for photography."

"Hmm, these photos are beautiful..."

Kato Megumi extended a slender finger, pointed to several group photos in the album, and said lightly:

"Kiyono-kun, please send me the photos."

"no problem."

Kiyono Makoto agreed and sent over the group photo they had just taken.

Looking at the photos on her phone, Kato Megumi's lips curled up slightly for a moment; without close inspection, it seemed like just an illusion.

"It's about time to go back to our rooms... Kiyono-kun, let's go."

Kiyono Makoto and Kato went down the deck and returned to their respective rooms.

After a short rest, it was soon time for breakfast.

Kiyono Makoto went to the restaurant first, and soon after, the girls who had finished washing up arrived one after another.

The waves weren't too big last night, and although the ferry was a bit bumpy, it actually helped them sleep a bit, and the girls were all in pretty good spirits.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as a certain panda-eyed girl with pigtails.
