Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

I heard that many couples successfully confessed their feelings at the fireworks festival…

Thinking about this, Kaguya Shinomiya felt even more excited about the fireworks festival.

As a novice diver, I didn't stay in the water for very long, nor did I explore any deeper.

Fujiwara Chika's residual pressure reached the critical value first, so everyone returned directly to the yacht.

"That's awesome!"

Chika Fujiwara was very excited as she took off her diving mask and breathing apparatus.

"Sea turtles are so cute."

Yu Ishigami rolled his eyes. What's so cute about a slippery head?

Although he was happy, after all, such a scene can only be seen in the world of anime.

"It's really lucky to see a sea turtle."

Chisa Kotegawa said that she felt much closer to her diving companions.

"Hoo-ha—let's have a bottle of wine to celebrate!"

Chisa Kotegawa's face darkened; she felt that the two guys she had brought were bringing shame to the shop.

"It's so dreamy, Yukino, don't you think?"

Fujiwara Chika moved closer to Yukino Yukinoshita and poked her waist.

Yukino Yukinoshita dodged to the side as if she had been electrocuted, staring at Chika Fujiwara with a mixture of shame and indignation.

"Hey hey hey..."

Seeing Fujiwara Chika acting cute towards her, Yukino Yukinoshita looked somewhat helpless. To say that the other party was going too far, she was still carefully controlling the degree of her actions.

'I'm really defeated by her...'

Just as everyone was getting ready to change their clothes.

"Bam—"

A loud crash startled everyone, and the yacht even rocked.

"Shark attack?"

Fujiwara Chika looked terrified, while Fujiwara Moeha tightly gripped Fujiwara Chika's arm.

The others tensed up when they heard what Fujiwara Chika said.

Although I thought it was impossible for a shark to be in this place, I was still frightened by the huge impact.

Only Shangguan Yun, Kanna, and Thor knew what had just happened.

After glancing at the idiot demon who had just been stubbornly trying to outdo the yacht, then covered his head and rolled his eyes, and the three figures who had just braked in time, Shangguan Yun felt a headache coming on.

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

Shangguan Yun offered a word of comfort to everyone.

Upon hearing Shangguan Yun's words, Ai Haibara and Yu Ishigami were instantly relieved.

They were among those who knew Shangguan Yun quite well, especially Ai Haibara.

Since Shangguan Yun said everything is fine, then there must be no problem.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with Shangguan Yun around, they shouldn't encounter any danger.

"Quickly pull me up."

Suddenly, a voice came from below.

"A water ghost!"

Fujiwara Chika gasped in surprise, her face turning pale with fright.

'Where did this sea ghost come from...?'

Seeing Gabriel riding on a golden horn with a look of utter despair, Shangguan Yun sighed and went over to lift her up.

By the way, Thor and Connor also brought Winette and Raphael up with them.

When they saw that it wasn't a water ghost coming up, but three cute girls, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Aren't you... Tenma, Tsukino, and Shiraha from Class 1-A?"

Fujiwara Chika looked on incredulously, and Yukino Yukinoshita also looked at them with curiosity.

Because I was also in Class A of the first year.

Although I don't interact much with my classmates and leave right after class, I still have some impression of Gabriel and the others.

After all, there aren't many people with such an adorable face who break school rules every day...

'There seems to be another girl who's often with them, isn't there?'

Yukino Yukinoshita felt as if they had forgotten something.

"President, do you know Tianzhen and the others?"

Kaguya Shinomiya narrowed her eyes slightly; something seemed off about the way the other person had entered.

Moreover, the person who was pulled up was completely dry, suggesting they were likely not an ordinary person.

'Could it be like Thor?'

Kaguya Shinomiya's first concern was whether she had suddenly gained a few more rivals.

Only Chisa Kotegawa and a few others were still in a daze, not understanding what had happened.

Why would an acquaintance suddenly appear here, having crossed such a vast ocean?

How eerie...

Chapter 187 You're not running away? Then I'm not running away either...

"Well...they are, in a sense, my juniors...on another level."

Shangguan Yun didn't explain it clearly, but Shinomiya Kaguya still guessed what it was.

On the other hand, it should be about cultivators, right?

Sure enough, these people were no ordinary people either.

Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at Tohru, who remained silent, and seeing his calm expression, she felt relieved.

It seems Thor knows who the other party is. Since they didn't bare their teeth, it means the other party isn't a threat.

"Hello Fujiwara-senpai, Shinomiya-senpai, Ishigami-kun, Yukinoshita-kun... Senior Shangguan, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

The sensible Winette apologized sheepishly, unlike Gabriel who, upon boarding the yacht, curiously looked around as if she had never seen the world before.

He was muttering nonsense about how much game equipment he could exchange for that yacht.

"It's not a problem, but what are you doing?"

Shangguan Yun asked curiously.

"Well...we're actually in a competition..."

After greeting everyone, Raphael, with a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment on his face, replied.

"Huh? A competition? What kind of competition? Can I participate?"

Fujiwara Chika perked up as soon as she heard the word 'competition'.

They seemed oblivious to the unusual behavior of Gabriel and the others.

"The four of us were racing to see who could swim to that small island first, but then we encountered an unexpected situation halfway there and had to run for our lives."

Gabriel finally turned her head, rolled her eyes, and seemed quite speechless.

"Wait, you just said...running for your life?"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned. Although she felt that something was not quite right, Senior Shangguan remained calm, so no one raised any questions for the time being.

But... what does "running for one's life" mean? Is running for one's life this calm?

"Yes, otherwise why would I be in such a hurry to have Shangguan pull me up?"

Gabriel gave Yukino Yukinoshita a look that said, "Why would you ask such a stupid question?" leaving her completely bewildered.

Shouldn't we be worried?

Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't quite understand.

"Doesn't anyone wonder why there are four people competing?"

Hayasaka Ai suddenly spoke up.

The surrounding air instantly became still.

"Satania?!"

Vinette's face changed, and she quickly ran to the edge of the yacht. They had completely forgotten about Satania!

The others immediately tensed up, because most of them didn't know that the crash of the yacht was caused by one person.

"Could someone have died?"

Fujiwara Moeha gripped Fujiwara Chika's arm tightly, her face filled with worry.

There's been no sound for so long, it's probably sunk to the bottom...

"I don't think so..."

Fujiwara Chika's face was a little pale.

Chisa Kotegawa and the others felt a chill run down their spines. If something happened, regardless of whether it was related to them or not, it would definitely have a significant impact.

Moreover, they are a group of kind-hearted students who would never want anything to happen to someone they don't know.

Yukino Yukinoshita's body was tense, and her fingers trembled slightly.

Those who didn't know Satania's identity looked on nervously, fearing a scream would rang out.

Those who know the inside story are not so worried.

Especially Gabriel.

Satania was still alive and kicking after taking so many punches from her; she was only hit on the head by the yacht and wasn't worried at all.

Shangguan Yun's expression was somewhat strange.

He did not share Gabriel's confidence in Satania's tenacious vitality.

He really forgot...

Because after rescuing Gabriel and the others, his attention was focused on the thing behind them.

Just as Vinette saw Satania floating on the sea with her eyes rolled back, and was about to reach out and pull her up,

"Splash—"

A splashing sound rang out.

To everyone's astonishment, a tentacle about the thickness of an adult's thigh, black and red in color, with palm-sized suckers at its base, suddenly wrapped around Satania, who was floating on the sea, and lifted her into the air.

One after another, the sound of water breaking rang out, and several thick tentacles, each over ten meters long, appeared on the sea surface, stretching out into the air.

A head the size of a truck cab appeared before the crowd.

"What's this?!"

"Wow, what a huge octopus!"

Holy crap!

Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei stared wide-eyed at the black and red octopus monster that was baring its fangs and claws not far in front of the yacht.

"Snapped--"

Kitahara Iori suddenly slapped Imamura Kohei.

Why the hell did you hit me?!
