I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

The dolphin was played around by Rikka, but the keeper and the host did not say anything. The dolphin calmed down after a period of madness, stuck its head out of the water, and looked at Rikka who was pulled away by Yuta from a distance. It stood there quietly, not knowing what it was thinking.

The host and the keeper calmed the dolphin down, and didn't say anything in response to Yuta's sincere apology. Instead, they thought the brother and sister were very interesting. Because Rikka was so cute, the host gave Rikka a keychain with a little dolphin on it.

After the show, the audience left one after another. It was already afternoon, and although they had already played for most of the day, there were still many interesting things and places in the aquarium waiting for the two to enjoy.

However, no matter how interesting a place is or how wonderful a day is, it must come to an end.

As the sun sets, Yuta and Rikka, who have been playing all day, feel a little tired, and the time... is almost up.

It was getting dark and time was passing slowly. Yuta and Rikka had a satisfying and happy day. Feeling their stomachs growling with hunger, they decided to go home.

But before that, they wanted to go to another place to sit.

At Rikka's request, Yuta drove Rikka to the side of the road and let Rikka get off first. He parked the car and went to buy drinks for Rikka and himself.

The setting sun added a layer of color to the sky. The azure sky was dotted with orange and red, rendering the clouds and the sky purple. The romantic and gorgeous colors were sprinkled on the windmill not far away, and also into Rikka's heart.

This place is a bit remote. It is on both sides of the road, but there is a small wooden pavilion. The pavilion is surrounded by grass and bushes. There is only a bench in the middle of the pavilion. Rikka is sitting on it, looking at the beautiful sky, the motionless windmill in the distance, and Yuta who is walking slowly, in a trance...

She was a little reluctant to see this day end. Today was really, too happy, too joyful...

But it's still not enough...

On the other side, Yuta leaned over to take out the drink he had just bought from the vending machine, but was thinking about everything that had happened today.

He still remembered that the purpose of his date with Rikka today was to enhance the relationship between the couple.

But today...

"It feels... no different from usual..."

Yuta stretched out his hand and looked at the palm of his hand, feeling some residual warmth, but he felt nothing in his heart.

He and Rikka had done a lot of things like holding hands, and today they just had a happy day in the aquarium without making any progress.

But what progress is needed?

Yuta shook his head with a smile, and walked towards Rikka with two cans of drinks in his hand.

"Awaited."

"Shake the drink!"

As the name suggests, this is a drink that needs to be shaken before drinking. It is usually drunk by children, but Rikka is an exception.

She thinks the ritual of “shaking” before drinking a drink is cool!

The adorable Rikka likes things that are relatively childish, but that doesn't stop her from being cute.

Looking at Rikka who was shaking the drink in her hand with a smile, Yuta smiled, took out a coin from his pocket, pretended to be deep and childish, and gave it to Rikka.

"No matter how many times you put it in the vending machine, it will be returned, the chosen ten yen coin!"

When Yuta placed the old ten-yen coin in front of Rikka, Rikka was indeed excited for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

"Don't think I'll be happy with everything I see!"

That being said, Rikka's little hand didn't stop, she stretched out her hand and snatched the coin from Yuta...

"Oh, don't you like it?"

No, I like it very much.

Although Rikka didn't answer, she held the coin in her hand and examined it carefully.

Words like "chosen by fate" and "loneliness" that sound cool to a chuunibyou person can really make Rikka look a little cooler when they are put on a coin.

"Ah, I thought it was an old coin with a serration, but it turns out it's not."

Yuta smiled, opened his own bottle of drink, and sat next to Rikka.

"It has been used for a long time and has been worn out a lot. It is no different from an old-fashioned coin."

"Well... How pitiful, an existence rejected by the world."

"No, no, it's just rejected by the vending machine's system. It can be used normally in other places."

That being said, Rikka decided to keep this chosen coin and use it the next time she went to buy a drink...

In her mind, Liuhua imagined the scene of throwing the coin in, but being spit out. The "chosen" and "lonely" of this coin...

Hmm...very handsome...

Rikka silently put the coin into her wallet, then turned to look at Yuta who was sitting next to her.

Yuta, like Rikka just now, stared at the beautifully painted romantic sky, lost in thought.

Rikka didn't say anything, just looked at Yuta's face quietly...

"Today, I am very happy."

"Mmmmm! Kailu tears apart the darkness!"

Rikka keeps saying things that are childish, but Yuta chooses to be tolerant of her.

He extended his hand to Rika. Rika looked at the hand that Yuta extended, stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Yuta meant. A little blush appeared on her face, and she slowly extended her hand and shook hands with him.

The two smiled at each other, sat close to each other silently, clasped their hands tightly together, placed them on the chairs, and both stared at the sky in a daze.

Feeling the warmth that wrapped around her entire hand, Rikka felt a little uneasy.

Rikka is just a little slow, that doesn't mean she's stupid, the message she received from Yuta before said, 'I have something to tell you' or something like that.

Although Yuta later explained that he just wanted to go out on a date, today's Yuta was much more aggressive than before, that is, he was much more proactive.

Does this mean that Yuta wants to get closer to her?

Does this mean that Yuta is no longer satisfied with the status quo?

What's more, both Dan Shenggu and Fang Wuwei told them that the progress was too slow.

The progress was too slow and she didn't understand what it meant, but she could tell that Yuta seemed to think so... a little bit.

After all, Yuta is an adolescent boy, so how could he not want to be close to his girlfriend?

Although he actually hopes to take it slow, let Rikka get used to it, and be more considerate of her feelings, but who says he has never thought about being intimate with her in his heart?

The sun gradually set, and the orange-red sunlight slowly shone across the land and sprinkled on the two of them.

The windmill in the distance also began to turn slowly at a very slow speed...

Rika had been looking forward to the windmill turning, but although she was looking at the windmill, she seemed not to notice it and stared into the distance with lifeless eyes.

She felt a little uneasy...
