Blue sky, white clouds, sea.
As soon as they arrived on Earth, everyone on the Nadeshiko gathered in groups and, under He Ming's arrangement, integrated into this coastal city according to their own preferences.
Although many people chose to walk into the city to feel the atmosphere of peace that was different from the war-torn homeland where they came from, many more people chose to stay on the beach and enjoy the atmosphere.
After a scary journey, it’s a rare moment of leisure.
"Whoa!"
In the waves that rolled the sand to the shore, the little mermaid let out bursts of crisp laughter, attracting the attention of everyone around her.
"Quick! Look! Akito, that, that's the mermaid?!"
Asuka, who was wearing a coat and a Shikusui shirt underneath, pulled Akito Tianga and pointed at the little mermaid flying up and down in the waves.
"Ah? Yes! But, there seems to be nothing to be surprised about, right?"
Akito Tianhe looked around and found that there seemed to be barbecue utensils placed not far away, and there seemed to be a lot of ingredients next to those utensils. For a moment, Akito Tianhe felt the soul of a chef in himself.
It started to burn.
"What are you talking about? That's obviously a real mermaid!!"
Asuka Asuka didn't seem to notice that Akito Amagawa's eyes had drifted towards the barbecue utensils. She just pulled Akito Amakawa and wanted to get closer to observe the little mermaid.
"Akito, I wonder if it's because my mood has gotten better? I seem a little hungry now."
Unexpectedly, a voice came from the side that made Asuka feel uncomfortable instantly.
And she is Erina!
"Oh! Well, that's good. There are barbecue tools over there. I'll go over and take a look. Wait a minute!"
As soon as Akito Tianhe heard this, he immediately turned around and walked towards the pile of barbecue utensils. Asuka, the imperial commander, was so shocked that she screamed repeatedly, but she still couldn't make Akito Tianhe look back.
Hoshino Ruri, who was watching this scene from a distance, looked away, looked at the tablet in his hand, and muttered "Idiot."
However, before Hoshino Ruri started "working" on the tablet in his hand, he saw a small figure lying on the top of the tablet.
And this little figure is none other than the little mermaid, Xiaoya, who just slipped out of the sea.
"Ah! My computer! It's getting flooded!"
Hoshino Liuli was startled and quickly reached out to touch the package beside her.
It seemed that he wanted to find a towel and save the tablet that was submerged in the seawater flowing from the little mermaid.
Unexpectedly, the little mermaid let out a burst of bell-like laughter, swung her tail slightly, and flew up on the spot.
At the same time, the seawater dripping from his body onto the tablet magically rose from the tablet, and gradually began to rotate with Hoshino Ruri as the center as the little guy moved his hands.
This scene immediately made Hoshino Ruri's eyes widen.
"This, this is magic?!"
Xiaoya giggled and moved her hands gently. The water droplets swirling around Hoshino Ruri quickly wrapped around Hoshino Ruri's right wrist as if guided by some kind of force.
"Hiss, it's so cold."
When the water drop chain, which was mainly made of sea water, was formed on Hoshino Ruri's right wrist, the coldness it revealed made Hoshino Ruri shudder involuntarily.
Because of this excitement, the chain of water drops that Hoshino Ruri had no time to appreciate suddenly shattered and turned into a curtain of water scattered on the hot beach, then disappeared.
"Ah! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it."
Hoshino Ruri apologized quickly.
But Xiaoya tilted her head, turned around, and flew into the layers of waves that looked like snowflakes with a flick of her tail.
For some reason, looking at Xiaoya's back disappearing into the waves, Hoshino Liuli couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.
"Go away!"
Hoshino Ruri pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she raised her tablet again, ready to "continue" her work.
"Crash!"
The waves were rolling, and the sound of waves kept coming.
Hoshino Ruri frowned, and his eyes that should have been on the tablet were involuntarily looking at the waves rolling up layers of white flowers.
"Let's go!"
Hoshino Ruri bit her lip slightly, lowered her head, and clicked on the tablet.
"Crashing..."
The waves are still rolling, but it seems that the smell of the sea breeze has become a little saltier.
Unable to calm down, Hoshino Ruri frowned and subconsciously raised his head to look.
"ah!!"
Hoshino Ruri, who originally thought he was very calm, suddenly let out a scream, causing people around him to look over.
"That···"
"That's..."
"Coral?! Such a big coral!!"
“It’s actually a coral that can fly?!”
The Subaru Ryoko trio, who were planning to play a game of beach volleyball, were surprised to see the huge coral floating in front of Hoshino Ruri.
I saw the coral, which was about one meter long and 60 to 70 centimeters wide, floating up and down in front of Hoshino Ruri, as if it had self-awareness.
"Xiaoya, don't be naughty! Don't destroy the environment! Put the coral back quickly!"
Just when everyone was surprised and Hoshino Ruri didn't know what to do, a man and a woman walked across the beach and came to Hoshino Ruri's side. The woman among them pointed at the bottom of the coral and yelled.
"Uh...oh!"
As soon as there was a slightly reluctant but obedient hum, the huge piece of coral flew back to the sea and disappeared into the waves.
Soon after, the familiar and cheerful voice came again along with the sound of waves lapping the shore. The little mermaid once again swung her tail and flew to Hoshino Ruri's side, looking at the tablet in Hoshino Ruri's hand with interest.
"You like it?"
Hoshino Liuli pointed at the tablet, Xiaoya tilted her head, rolled her eyes, and nodded.
"Then, let's play with you."
"Oooh!"
Xiaoya flicked her tail quickly and flew into Hoshino Ruri's arms. She stretched out her hand and imitated Hoshino Ruri's movements, dotting and swiping on the screen.
"I'm very sorry! Xiaoya is a bit curious."
The woman who scolded Xiaoya before and asked Xiaoya to put the coral back to its original place apologized to Hoshino Ruri.
Hoshino Ruri shook his head, raised his head, and looked at the man and woman standing beside him.
"I recognize you. General He and Mrs. Lin Mingmei."
Hoshino Ruri carefully placed the tablet and Xiaoya on the chair, stood up, and politely saluted the man and woman in front of him who controlled the galaxy.
"I am Ruri Hoshino, the pilot of the Nadeshiko."
"What a good boy! He actually recognizes us."
When Lin Mingmei saw Hoshino Ruri, who looked like a stranger but was actually very polite, she immediately felt fond of him and reached out to touch Hoshino Ruri's little head.
"Ah! Don't touch your head! You won't grow taller!"
