☼ Voyage! Early Spring Cruising Live - Chapter 9

Kanata: Puka, puka...♪

The “sea breeze” feels great~. I am so glad we got to come to the “ocean”.

After all, the “sea”—“Water” is the “source of all life”~.

I can get my “skin” to be moisturized, too. It stings when it gets “dry”... “It” feels really, very stiff.

Alrighty then~….

Mm-mm… I can’t reach the water even after stretching my arms out. I have to keep leaning my body even further, don’t I…?

Chiaki: Ka-Ka-Kanata~!?

What do you think you’re doing!? That’s dangerous — if I hadn’t grabbed you in time, you would’ve dropped right into the ocean!

What if a shark ate you?! I can’t bear the thought to lose my comrade over something like this, please! ?

Kanata: Ahaha… Chiaki, your face is “bright blue”~ Isn’t that the “color” of the “sea”?

It’s okay. I have a “lifeline” on, so I won’t become one with the “seaweed” even if I fall into the ocean.

Chiaki: That’s not the issue here! Seriously, you’re hopeless… I understand that being so close to the ocean has made you super excited, but please restrain yourself a little.

Kanata: Okay~. I am feeling quite “buoyant”. Okay now, everyone~ Say “hello” to Chiaki~♪

Chiaki: Uwoah, dolphins. The same thing happened during PirateFes — whenever you’re in a good mood, sea creatures tend to gather.

Heheh, how cute. I think I could reach them if I stretch my hand out.

???: ...Achoo!

Chiaki: Ah, Kanata! You might’ve caught a cold from standing on the ship’s deck for so long! Let’s go back down before you get a terrible fever!

Kanata: That wasn’t me~. I’m not “lying”.

After all, I don’t take “cold water baths” these days. I have a “healthy body”~... Fufun ♪

Chiaki: A-Ahh… I got that even without you flexing your arms.

Hmmm, I guess it was just my imagination. Still, I really thought I heard a sneeze...

Hinata: Ohohoho? Morisawa-senpai and Shinkai-senpai! Hey there~♪

Are you guys sunbathing too? I could fetch you something to drink from the lounge.

What would you like? If you don’t, I’ll just pick something for you ♪

Kanata: “Water” is enough for me~. Could I please have that cup of “water”?

Hinata: Um, sure, but..

Woah, Shinkai-senpai!? It’s bad to splash water on yourself like that, isn’t it!? Do you want to catch a cold~!?

Chiaki: That’s right. It’s almost time for the live to begin. Just what would you do if you had to bow out because of a cold? You’d just be left with regret, and it’d be trouble for Suou too.

Hinata: …

Midori: Sigh… The weather’s nice, but the breeze is cold… It really makes me want to go back down into the ship…

Chiaki: Hm? Ohh, Takamine! You’re going to sigh away all of your happiness like that! If you’re cold, then you should just laugh it away instead! Fuahahahaha!

Midori: Ugh, there’s a troublesome person here… Don’t pester me please, Morisawa-senpai...

Hinata: Hey hey, Midori-kun ♪ Is Tetsu with you?

Midori: Ahh… No, not right now. He was hungry, so he left to go to the lounge...

Something about wanting to eat steak, I think… Can’t believe he’s thinking of eating something like that before a live...

Tetora: T-T-There’s an emergency! A huge one~!

Chiaki: What’s wrong, Nagumo!? Why’re you in a panic!? Did something happen!?

Tetora: Anego’s… Anego’s in big trouble! We need to go to the lounge right now!
