Good morning, everyone.

As Kiyono Makoto greeted them, his gaze lingered on Eriri's small face.

The girl's golden twin ponytails swayed gently as she walked, looking full of energy. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that although Eriri was wearing makeup, she clearly had faint dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she had suffered from insomnia the night before.

"call......"

Eriri covered her mouth with her hand and secretly yawned. Suddenly, she realized someone was watching her. Her eyes darted around and she saw Kiyono Makoto looking at her meaningfully. Her face immediately turned red.

"What are you looking at?!"

Eriri's eyes were filled with a mixture of shyness and anger, her small tiger teeth half-hidden and half-revealed, gleaming coldly.

"The reason I couldn't sleep last night was entirely that idiot Seino's fault!"

There is no buffet in the morning; only regular omelet rice and ramen are available.

Kiyono Makoto ate a simple omelet rice, then went back to his room with the girls to pack their luggage. Just then, the cruise ship arrived at Hachijojima Island.

Hachijō Island covers an area of ​​70 square kilometers and has a population of around 7,000. It is a typical Pacific volcanic island.

Although it was my first time here, there were clearly some tourists on the same boat who had been to Hachijojima before.

Kiyono Makoto and the girls, pulling their suitcases, followed behind other tourists as they walked down the gangway onto the cruise ship, arrived at the station, and then lined up to board a bus.

Board the bus and travel along the coastal road, surrounded by the azure sea – a truly breathtaking sight.

A moment later, the bus stopped in front of the hot spring hotel.

"Get ready to get off the bus."

Kiyono Makoto picked up his suitcase, got off the car with the girls, entered the hot spring inn, checked in with the staff, and then said:

"Everyone, go to your rooms first, put down your luggage, rest for twenty minutes, and then we'll gather and move out."

"Meow?"

A question mark quietly appeared above Nishimiya Yuzuru's head.

What does "action" mean?

This is supposed to be a vacation trip, right? It feels more like a James Bond mission.

"Yuzuru..."

Nishimiya Shoko lowered her voice, looked at her younger sister, and whispered:

"We have something to do later, would you like to stay at the hot spring inn by yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Yuzuru frowned, crossed her arms, and shook her head in refusal.

"Absolutely not."

Shoko bit her lower lip lightly: "Um..."

"Sister, are you going to do something dangerous?"

Nishimiya Yuzuru took the initiative and inquired about the situation.

Shoko shook her head instinctively: "There shouldn't be... any danger."

"should?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya subconsciously raised his voice, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Sister, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Shoko didn't know whether she should speak or not, so she could only turn to look at Kiyono Makoto.

"It's nothing serious."

Kiyono Makoto hesitated for two seconds, then said, "We're going to the beach to study the parabolic motion of a point mass model."

"Huh?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya looked bewildered. "What's that?"

Kiyono Makoto interlaced his fingers: "Simply put, it's about going to the beach to throw marbles."

Yuzuru Nishimiya: "..."

This is so simple, it would be better to just explain it in plain language!

"Don't worry, Glass."

Kiyono Makoto looked at the timid girl and said softly, "If Yuzuru wants to go, let her come with us. If we insist on leaving her behind, she'll definitely sneak up on us again."

Yuzuru Nishimiya turned her face away: "...I'm not that kind of person."

"Go and put your luggage away first."

Kiyono Makoto reached out his right hand and ruffled Shoko's hair. "We'll assemble later."

"Uh-huh."

"..."

A moment later.

All the girls gathered together, except for Kato Megumi, who was carrying a suitcase.

"Give me the suitcase."

Seino Makoto extended his right hand to help Kato carry the suitcase.

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun."

Kato Megumi thanked her softly.

"Let's go rent electric bikes first."

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and took out her strategy guide:

"The cliff is in a very remote location, and it's very inconvenient without a car."

The car rental went smoothly, and the group rode their electric bikes straight to Nanwon Thousand Die Rock.

Half an hour later.

A black cliff standing tall by the sea comes into view.

"...The Pearl-Retrieving Challenge: Here we come!"

Chapter 117: Saint Student in Swimsuit (Limited Edition)

Time: 10:12 AM

Environment: Light breeze (level 3).

Weather: Sunny, excellent visibility.

Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius...

Rio Futaba meticulously reads the data:

"More importantly, the cliff is secluded enough that it won't be disturbed by other tourists, and the conditions are perfect in every way."

Yuzuru Nishimiya: "..."

Are you a professional surveyor?

Why are there data points in every sentence?

And what does "perfect conditions" mean?

It sounds like a weird organization from a comic book, secretly carrying out an evil ritual. How bizarre!

When people come to islands for tourism, they should go to the sea, beaches, and coconut groves, not this kind of desolate wilderness!

"Looks like we're in luck."

Kiyono Makoto walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and saw the waves gently rising and falling, the spray surging:

"The height of the cliff is also perfect, estimated to be around ten meters."

The cliff where they were located was called "Nanyuan Thousand-Layer Cliff".

This is a black basalt platform formed thousands of years ago when a volcano erupted, lava flowed into the sea, cooled and solidified.

It covers an area roughly the size of a football field, is entirely black, and has a smooth, flat surface. It is about ten meters above the sea, but the cliff face is quite steep, almost vertical, and looking down from the edge can be quite frightening.

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her beautiful red eyes scanning her surroundings, her voice languid:

"Well, this place is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the scenery is absolutely gorgeous, watching the sunset here must be a top-notch experience, right?"

Eriri covered her skirt, which was being blown up by the wind, with her right hand. Her twin ponytails swayed gently in the breeze, dazzling in the sunlight. Upon hearing this, she retorted:

"If I let you watch the sunset, you'd say it's all mosquitoes."

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses:

"Kato, did you bring any pebbles?"

Kato Megumi responded softly:

"They're all in the suitcases, there are a lot of them."

"That's good."

Rio Futaba's voice was calm, "Let's review your throwing skills first."

Throwing marbles into the sea from a cliff requires only slight deviations in force and angle; otherwise, the result could be a huge miss.

So when Futaba first learned about the mission, she suggested that Kato Megumi practice throwing marbles by herself to get a feel for it.

Now that they've reached the edge of the cliff, they've replaced the marbles with spare pebbles. These pebbles are about the same size and weight as the marbles to avoid any deviation.

As for why not just throw marbles... the reason is simple.

The rules are unclear and may contain traps.

For example, if you throw tens of thousands of marbles in one go, the difficulty will naturally be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the mission-limited marble is likely to be the first one thrown.

Watch your step, don't fall.

Kiyono Makoto earnestly instructed, "Shoko-kun, you're in charge of pulling her from behind."

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Shoko quickly nodded and accepted the task.

"Qingye."

Rio Futaba turned her head to look at her, tilting her small face slightly upwards:

"Go change into your swimsuit, then survey the seabed."

Undersea exploration is inherently dangerous, and among the group, Kiyono Makoto possesses the strongest basic attributes, making him the obvious choice to take on the task.

Kiyono Makoto looked around, somewhat troubled:

There wasn't even a single rock to block the view...

"Then let's just change it. Anyway, this place is very remote, no tourists will come here."

Rio Futaba said calmly, "We can just turn around."

Yuzuru Nishimiya: "..."

Everyone turned around and let a boy take off his clothes from behind?

That's really weird!

Don't you feel even a little bit ashamed?!

"Alright."

Kiyono Makoto took off his backpack, his expression calm. "Don't peek while I'm changing."

"Pah!"

Eriri couldn't help but spit out a light spit, glaring at him with embarrassment and annoyance:

"Who would be interested in your body anyway!"
