When the elegant girl who had been missing for half a day appeared in the living room, several pairs of hidden eyes looked at her, their sights wandering on the girl's delicate body, as if looking for some special places, but after discovering that there were no traces on the girl's cheeks, lips, or snow-white neck, everyone withdrew their gazes in disappointment.

Having arrived in an unfamiliar environment and without finding any form of entertainment, everyone was looking forward to some gossip news. They thought they would see some scenes that would only appear in late-night romance dramas, but the reality was a little disappointing.

Noticing everyone's gazes on her, Nagasaki Shoyo could probably guess what everyone was thinking. She responded to the gazes she was giving her with a gentle smile.

But when Nagasaki Soushi and Izumi's eyes met, they both remained silent tacitly. They just exchanged glances and did not show any enthusiastic and intimate reactions in front of everyone.

Both of them knew very well that everyone present at the moment already knew about their relationship, but knowing was one thing, and if they behaved intimately in front of everyone without knowing how to be romantic, it would easily cause disgust among the others present.

In an environment, people always prefer things that they can integrate into and participate in, rather than an atmosphere with strong exclusivity.

Everyone nodded to Nagasaki Soushi who appeared in the living room and did not ask her about her movements in the afternoon. This was a tacit understanding maintained by everyone, Nagasaki Soushi, and Izumi after understanding the situation.

……

"It's still early and I don't feel sleepy at all. What are we going to do later?"

After dinner, Chihaya Aine volunteered to clean up the dishes, and squeezed to Izumi's side, leaning against her, deliberately lowering her voice, and asked Izumi.

"Let's sing 'Haruhi Kage' together."

After hearing his sister's question, the first thought that came to Quan's mind was to let everyone present sing one of his favorite songs together.

But considering that there is no suitable equipment at present, even if he sang it, it would not be a perfect version. The thought appeared in Quan's mind for a moment, and he dismissed it first. He looked to his side and saw his sister's fair and tender arm gently against his waist. He looked at Aine's cheek, and the other party was looking at him expectantly.

"You should have an idea already, right?"

"I want to have a pillow fight!"

Seeing that her brother understood what she meant, Chihaya Aine spoke out her thoughts. With so many people around, she wanted to play some indulgent games.

"Most people here wouldn't be interested in this, right? And there's no suitable space. This is a hot spring hotel during a school trip, and there are spacious rooms for everyone to use. If you throw pillows here randomly, it will only make the pillows dirty, and then you have to sleep on them at night. Do you have any other ideas?"

The pillow fight is fun, but considering Takamatsu Deng's personality, she probably won't be interested. Also, Shiina Riki will probably object. As for the others...

Compared to those who oppose it, there are not many people who actively participate, and it is indeed easy to dirty the pillow.

"Then let's all sit in a circle in the living room and tell ghost stories together?"

After being rejected by Izumi, Chihaya Aine thought about it for a while and thought of an activity that was very common in the summer.

"This year's Bon Festival... After returning from here to Tokyo, it will take a while before it is held, right? It's a strange story..."

Even though Quan himself doesn't like ghost stories very much, he has known quite a few of them, such as "Hanako in the Toilet", "Ms. Mary", "Hachisha-sama", etc., which are all quite famous urban ghost stories.

"Although I prefer restricted comics."

After thinking about those comics that are not suitable for children, Quan immediately stopped thinking and his eyes fell on his sister again.

"Today is only our first day here. If someone gets scared, then they won't be very happy for the next period of time, right? Let's wait until we are about to leave before holding such an event."

"..."

Chihaya Aine wanted to refute her brother about the entertainment activities she had finally thought of, but after thinking carefully about what Izumi said, she felt that he did have a point. After a moment of silence, she lowered her head to wipe the water droplets on the tableware and put it away.

"What are you talking about?"

As if he had seen the conversation between Izumi and Aine, Nagasaki Shoyo slowly walked over and asked Izumi and Aine about the content of their conversation across the kitchen counter.

"Should we do something tonight... It's too early to rest now, Shuangshi, do you want to go to the sea with me?"

Chihaya Aine, who couldn't think of what to do for a moment, looked at Nagasaki Soyo and invited her to go out for a walk with her to see the sea and the beach at night.

"I've already showered. If I continue to sweat, it will be troublesome. Let's forget it."

Looking at the night sky outside the window, facing Chihaya Aine's invitation, Nagasaki Shoyo thought about it for a moment and chose to refuse. It was not that she didn't want to, but the weather outside was hot and humid, especially at the humid seaside. If she walked along the coastline for a while, the sweat from her body would soak her clothes.

Nagasaki Soshi didn't bring many clothes with her, and she didn't want to have all her clothes washed and dried, leaving herself with only a swimsuit to wear.

"...Um, is that not possible?"

After being rejected by Nagasaki Soyo, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but look in the direction of Takamatsu Deng.

Seeing Shiina Riki sitting next to Takamatsu Deng, the girl with short gray hair lowered her head and said nothing.

"It will probably be much safer with Li Xi around... But, if I go with her, it will lack a bit of atmosphere?"

Shiina Riki doesn't seem like someone who can appreciate the night view and the sea view, so Chihaya Aine has no intention of going for a walk on the beach with her...

"Where's Quan? Come take a walk with me?"

Hearing his sister's request, Quan looked at her and was silent for a moment, but did not refuse.

"Ah."

"real?!"

When she heard that Izumi agreed, Chihaya Aine was a little surprised. She leaned forward slightly, looked at Izumi's face, and observed the expression on his face.

His eyes met Aine's gaze. His indifferent expression, without any sign of perfunctoriness at all, made Chihaya Aine feel satisfied all of a sudden, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Nagasaki Soushi who was standing beside her.

"Shuangshi?"

When she asked before, she didn't ask about Izumi's attitude. Now that Izumi agreed to accompany her for a walk on the beach, Chihaya Aine turned her gaze to Nagasaki Soushi again and asked her what she thought.

"..."

Nagasaki Shoyo, who was being stared at by Chihaya Aine, did not open his mouth to answer, but just shook his head silently.

She still gave the same answer as before.

"Hmm... what a pity."

After being rejected by Nagasaki Soushi again, Chihaya Aine could only express regret. After giving her answer, Nagasaki Soushi looked at Izumi calmly, but did not say anything.

After the dishes were all arranged, he pulled Izumi's Aine into the living room, said he wanted to go for a walk on the beach, and asked who else wanted to go with him.

After spending the whole afternoon in the swimming pool, everyone was basically exhausted. When faced with Chihaya Aine's questions, no one reacted much. Takamatsu Deng even felt sleepy and wanted to go back to the room to rest.

In the end, not many people were willing to go for a walk on the beach together. For various reasons, only Izumi and Aine were there.

“No one seems very interested.”

After closing the door and walking out under the moonlit sky, Chihaya Aine looked at Izumi who was following her with a disappointed expression. She had thought that besides herself and Izumi, there would be at least two more people who would go for a walk on the beach with her, but she didn't expect that there would be only herself and Izumi.

"We've been swimming all afternoon, everyone must be tired."

Watching Aine, who was only wearing a pair of sandals, walking on the gravel road, Izumi matched the rhythm of his sister's steps and walked slowly on the way to the beach.

Under the bright white moonlight, Aiyin, wearing a thin white coat, jumped up and down like a leaping elf.

"...They already know about it. I think it would be better if Quan paid a little attention. Otherwise, everyone would feel a little embarrassed."

"Ah."

Quan was distracted and did not hear clearly what his sister said before. It was only after hearing her later words that he deduced the general content of her previous words and gave a simple answer.

I said a long paragraph, but I only heard a "hmm" from Izumi. I couldn't help but look back at Izumi behind me.

"Do you really understand?"

"Ah."

It was still a brief answer, but noticing that Izumi was looking at her intently, Chihaya Aine felt a little conflicted, so she didn't ask any further questions and turned around to continue walking forward.

The waves surged, the sound of the tide continued, and the sea breeze blew on her face. After arriving near the lighthouse with Izumi, Chihaya Aine asked her brother to take a photo of her under the moon, and then she lost interest in continuing her walk.

The atmosphere here is very good, but after walking for more than ten minutes, she still felt bored and a little tired and wanted to go back to rest.

"and many more."

On the way back, looking at Izumi who was walking in front of her, Aine called out to her brother.

"Ok?"

He stopped and looked back at his sister.

"Squat down a little bit."

Seeing that Quan was looking at her, Aine walked to her side and tapped her finger lightly downwards, signaling Quan to squat down a little.

Faced with the request made by his sister, Quan, who lived with her day and night, immediately guessed what she meant.

"Hurry up~"

With a sigh, Quan slowly squatted down with his back facing his sister.

Looking at Quan's broad back, the girl chuckled and leaned close to him.

He gently held his hands behind his back, and his palms felt as soft and elastic as tofu. After slowly standing up and stabilizing his center of gravity, he walked slowly towards the villa.

There was a noisy sound coming from the door, which made Nagasaki Shoyo, who was sitting absent-mindedly in the living room, raise her head. She looked towards the door, and when she thought that it was Izumi and Aine who came back, she stood up and walked slowly towards the door.

When she arrived at the door and was about to open it, she saw the figures of Izumi and Aine overlapping each other. Izumi was walking towards the door alone, carrying Aine on his back.

"Is it time to come down?"

"Wait, we'll be there soon, just hold on a little longer."

"It's already here, so I changed it."

"hold on."

Aiyin, who was leaning on Quan's back, didn't need to walk by herself, and she felt very comfortable being carried by Quan. For a moment, she felt that the way back was a little too fast, and when Quan urged her to get off his back, she was still reluctant to let her go.

Until the girl's eyes noticed that there seemed to be a figure at the door in front of her. After raising her head, she met Nagasaki Soyo's surprised gaze. She opened her mouth and subconsciously patted Quan's shoulder with her hand, wishing she could stand on the ground right now instead of leaning on Quan's back.

"Ok?"

Quan, noticing something strange, slowly raised his head and looked at his lover standing in front of the door.

But compared to the panicked Chihaya Aine, Izumi was not too surprised. Instead, he carried his sister to the door and put her down.

When Chihaya Aine got off Izumi's back and looked at Nagasaki Soyo who was waiting at the door, the girl didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment. But Izumi spoke first and solved the problem for her.

"Are you waiting for us to come back?"

The eyes as calm as water gradually calmed Nagasaki Shoyo down. She closed her soft lips that were opened in surprise and shook her head slightly.

"I heard some noise in the living room, so I came over to see if there was any problem."

Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Chihaya Aine.

"..."

Chihaya Aine, who was being stared at by Nagasaki Shoyo, opened her mouth slightly, her eyes wandered for a moment, and her mind started thinking instantly. Within a moment, she came up with a reasonable explanation.

"Ah! Well! While walking, there were pebbles all over the place and I was wearing sandals, so I twisted my leg accidentally. I had to ask Quan to carry me back. I'm fine now!"
