Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

“They’re not even from the same dimension.” Kohei looked at his seniors as if they were otherworldly masters.

"Then can't we continue diving with so many?" Lu Nan asked.

"Hahaha, maybe so," Senior Ashi said.

"Then why don't we come up first, and then the seniors can continue diving?" Banami hesitated for a moment before saying.

“That won’t do.” Hamaoka Azusa shook her finger: “Diving is a team sport. If one person surfaces, then everyone should surface together.”

Senior Ah Shou nodded: "It would be a different story if there were several diving instructors accompanying you."

"Oh, I see." Lu Nan understood, then put his arms around Iori and Kohei's necks: "That's how it is. You two better not drag us down, you bad students!"

"What does this have to do with me? It's clearly Iori who's the bad student."

"Why do you two always look down on people like that? I had a question to ask you."

"Because I'm just better than both of you!"

"That's right, Iori!"

"Damn it! Who was dragging us down the whole time we were playing tennis, you bastard!"

As they were talking, the three of them started arguing again.

Chisa looked helpless: "We just talked about teamwork and now they're fighting amongst themselves..."

What was said in jest was taken to heart by the listener. Upon hearing the words that were meant to drag them down, Banai couldn't help but tighten her grip on her diving suit.

Anzu Hachimi is always the one who gives in interpersonal relationships, always sacrificing herself to benefit the whole team.

She was the same in her previous group of popular people, always playing the role of the lubricant in the group. Even when those two got together, she pretended to be calm so that everyone would not feel that the atmosphere was strange because of her.

If you sacrifice yourself, everyone will benefit.

She has always done it this way.

"What's wrong, Hachi?" Hamaoka Azusa asked curiously as she approached Hachi.

"Huh? What?" Banai finally snapped out of her daze.

"It's nothing, you just seem a little dazed. Are you feeling unwell?" Hamaoka Azusa asked with some concern.

Banami forced a smile and patted her arm: "It's okay, I'm perfectly fine in terms of both stamina and spirit!"

Nanaka also came over and said reassuringly, "If you feel even slightly unwell, please tell us, okay?"

“Yeah, don’t think that just because you’ve come all the way to Binhai City, you should push yourself too hard, okay?” Senior Ashi said seriously, “It’s very dangerous in the sea.”

"I know!"

……

[Exchange of the octopus-style backup breathing regulator]

This training involves handing your octopus-style spare respirator to your teammate when they run out of oxygen, while simultaneously holding onto their arm and floating together.

Lu Nan and Banami held each other's arms tightly. Banami looked at Lu Nan underwater and couldn't help but breathe rapidly. She even choked and kept coughing.

Nana had no choice but to suspend her training and let her rest and adjust her condition.

Lu Nan was looking at Dai Miao's little hand with a bit of confusion.

Speaking of which, where is Dazed's arm...?

Seeing Lu Nan's bewildered expression, Banami suddenly became happy again.

The sea is so beautiful.

The sunlight shines down, awakening the entire sea and leading everyone into that beautiful and magnificent world.

Banami silently watched everyone.

Watching Lu Nan try to grab Dai Miao's little round hand.

Watching Iori and Kohei grab each other's collars.

Watching Aina being chased by a little sea turtle.

Watching the veterans swim freely in the sea, observing all kinds of fish, and taking photos.

She just quietly looked at the sea, this beautiful sea that could embrace everything.

Everyone wants to stay diving in this sea forever...

Nanaka had timed it perfectly and began asking the newlyweds about their remaining energy.

Lu Nan: 120

Iori and Kohei: Ninety

Yoshihara Aina: Eighty

Since the silly cat can't express itself with gestures, it's naturally an exception. However, Senior Shi will check on the little guy's remaining weight regularly, so it's okay.

Looking at the monitor in her hand, she noticed that the pointer had somehow already pointed to sixty.

But they still have energy left...

In other words, they would all be forced to rise to the surface because of their own actions.

Banai saw her fingers quietly clench.

[When my pressure was down to 60, I felt I could stay submerged a little longer. If I could just hold on a bit longer, I should be fine...]

Thinking this, Banami wanted to make a gesture of suppressing eighty.

But at this moment, Banami felt a very serious gaze on her.

She turned her head and saw Lu Nan.

Those dark eyes stared intently at her through the diving mask and the seawater, as if they could see right through her.

Banami silently lowered her head, her hand gestures changing from eighty to sixty.

Nanaka nodded.

I have to take a day off today because of Qingming Festival. There will only be one update today as a notification, but there will be an extra update tomorrow! Love you all!

Chapter 180 Senior

Banami took off the oxygen tank, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, Lao Ba." Lu Nan's voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling Ba Nai Jian so much that she almost jumped up.

"What, what?" Banami patted his chest to catch his breath and said.

"Why are you asking me again? You were planning to exaggerate the remaining pressure, weren't you?"

"..."

"Didn't the seniors all say that it's very dangerous to do this in the sea?" Lu Nan said with a helpless expression, "Even if my critique is the worst, I can't lie about it..."

“But!” Banai interrupted Lu Nan, biting her lip.

"what happened?"

“But… when I think about how everyone has to give up diving because of me…” Banami lowered her head sadly.

"Wait?!" Lu Nan exclaimed in shock, "So you didn't lie about your critical pressure just to win the critical pressure duel and mock us?!"

"Only a fool would lie about the remaining pressure for something like this!!" Banai almost lost her composure, her sadness completely ruined by Lu Nan's words.

"I just didn't want to cause trouble for my seniors, it's just a concern for a junior... Besides, everyone clearly likes it and wants to continue diving, so..."

As Banai muttered to herself, she looked up and saw that Lu Nan's expression was rather strange.

"W-what's wrong?"

Lu Nan scratched his cheek: "No, how should I put it..."

He sighed: "I just feel that you might have a bad eye for people, and you might even be a bit stupid."

"Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden?!" Banami said angrily, "Why are you suddenly making personal attacks? You're acting a bit strangely."

"You're the one whose meaning is unclear, aren't you?" Lu Nan said, spreading his hands. "What kind of people do you take us for?"

Banami lowered her head hesitantly, "I didn't mean that."

“That’s why I said you might be a little silly.” Lu Nan pointed to the group of people chatting happily on the other side, where Iori and Kohei were arguing again: “Do you think they’re the kind of people who would care about that kind of thing?”

Banami tilted her head slightly: "That's true, but perhaps you just haven't noticed. After all, everyone loves diving, and it's not easy for them to come all this way."

"So, do you want your hobby to become a burden?" Lu Nan suddenly asked seriously.

"Huh?" Banami looked a little confused: "No..."

"That settles it then. If that's the case, why don't we just go and ask?" Lu Nan grabbed Banami's hand and pulled her in front of the cheerful seniors: "Excuse me for bothering you, but I have something to say."

"...That's how it is." Lu Nan looked at the somewhat embarrassed Banami beside him: "So I wanted to ask for your opinions."

"I see." Senior Ashi crossed his arms, somewhat surprised.

"So you feel bad about this?" Senior A-Shou stroked his chin and nodded.

“After all, the seniors all really enjoy diving… I…” Banami looked embarrassed, while she kept pinching Lu Nan’s soft flesh from behind.

"Hey Hachi-kun," Hamaoka Azusa suddenly grasped Hachi's hand, a reassuring smile and earnestness on her face, "Hachi has always thought of us as seniors, right?"

Banami nodded: "That's right."

Hamaoka Azusa patted Hanami's head: "In that case, it's only natural for an elder who is respected by his juniors to be lenient with them, right?"

“Besides, it’s normal for beginners to consume oxygen faster.” Hamaoka Azusa pinched Hanami’s cheek.

"That's right."

"That's perfectly normal."

Ah Shi and Ah Shou nodded in agreement.

"If you want to know the tricks, we'll tell you everything we know," Hamaoka Azusa said with a smile. "Then you just need to do better next time."
