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

So you're waiting for him?

Yoshihara Aina didn't answer, but simply sat up straight and looked at Lu Nan: "Lu Nan, have you ever taken the initiative? Confessed to a girl?"

Lu Nan's hand, holding the wine bottle, froze in mid-air.

Yoshihara Aina blinked in confusion. Why wasn't he saying anything? All she wanted to ask was what the boy's thought process and signs were before he confessed his feelings. Why was he just reading her message and not replying?

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight."

"Ah."

Lu Nan stood up, holding the cat, and turned off the living room lights.

Confessing my feelings to someone first... I've thought about it for a long time and I've never done it even once.

……

"How is it?" Lu Nan asked, looking at Iori who had come over.

Iori shrugged: "I'm out of ideas."

He pointed to Chisa sitting over there: "She's been sitting there for ages, and she's so distracted when I ask her anything. She's really down and doesn't seem like she wants to answer any questions at all."

"Would it make you feel better if you went diving?" Yoshihara Aina thought for a moment, "Even though it's work."

"I hope so."

Lu Nan looked towards the door: "That's true, but why haven't the guests arrived yet? Has something happened?"

“There should be a group performance today.” Iori glanced at the time: “It’s about time.”

Kohei rubbed his chin: "It's one thing for one or two people to be late, but now that they're all not here, it's probably going to be delayed, right?"

"You guessed right." Yuko said with a hint of helplessness, "I heard that all the guests who came to dive today have food poisoning."

"This is really bad luck," Lu Nan sighed.

Yoshihara Aina asked, "Are there any customers today?"

“They’ve all been cancelled.” Yuko shrugged.

"All of them... This only happens when there are group trips." Iori looked helplessly at the equipment on the ground: "Can't we just move the equipment piled up here back?"

Kohei complained, "We finally managed to move here."

"Okay, stop complaining." Yoshihara Aina patted Kohei on the shoulder.

Yuko smiled mysteriously: "Wait a minute, I just asked the manager about this..."

"?"

……

"Wuhu!!!" Lu Nan stood at the bow of the boat, raising his hands high.

"Meow!!!" The silly cat stood next to Lu Nan and imitated Lu Nan's actions.

Iori asked in surprise, "You actually skipped work to go diving? Are you sure it's okay?"

Yuko chuckled: "Is all the equipment ready? And you guys only went diving once on the first day, right?"

"It would be such a shame to come all the way to Palau and only go diving once!" Maki clapped her hands. "We should really experience the beauty of this place more."

Thank you so much!

Iori moved closer to Chisa and said, "That's great, Chisa."

Chisa lowered her head and said dejectedly, "I don't care, I can go diving every day anyway."

Yuko shook her head: "You were just working there. FunDiving with friends is a completely different thing, you know?"

"But……"

Lu Nan had had his fill of the sea breeze and leaned back in his seat: "No buts. If you don't go diving, when you go back to Grand Blue in a couple of days, Azusa and the others will ask you: 'Qiansha, what did you do in Palau?' You can answer: 'Nothing much, except that Iori and the others almost had their crotches burst.'"

"I absolutely don't want to do something like that!"

Chapter 380 About things I don't want my daughter to find out

The underwater world is as beautiful as ever, as if you've fallen into another world.

Fish swam freely in the excessively clear water.

Maki turned around and faced the electronic screen towards everyone.

Look down at yourselves.

She pointed to a patch of sand where there was nothing.

No, it wasn't that there was nothing there. Suddenly, a piece of sand was pushed aside in everyone's sight, and a "pencil" emerged straight out.

More and more 'pencils' followed, swaying with the waves as if they were dancing.

Garden eel and golden garden eel

Isn't it cute?

Lu Nan nodded. They were indeed quite cute, but he didn't know why it seemed like poking them would magically conjure up a huge bunch of shields that would then retract...

But this is the first time I've seen it in person.

Chisa gestured to her camera, indicating that she wanted to take a picture of everyone.

Yuko shook her head, took the camera from her, pointed to herself, and then to the crowd.

Oh, so it's for a group photo, Lu Nan thought. That's good... Where's my silly cat?

Lu Nan was a little suspicious that the little guy was following the fish around again, but he wasn't too worried because he and Dai Miao had agreed not to be more than ten meters apart.

But the little guy might miss the group photo.

Just as Lu Nan was pondering this, he suddenly felt his vision darken. He looked up and saw a huge manta ray with a small manta ray swimming overhead.

And the silly cat happened to be sitting on the back of that little manta ray.

Upon seeing the boss, Dai Miao immediately flipped down and swam towards him, while Lu Nan helplessly opened his arms.

Yuko quickly captured this scene. Above is the manta ray, below are the people with different expressions, including the happy Dome and the helpless Lunan, and at the very bottom is the innocent Garden Eel.

……

"Awesome!" Iori cheered, raising her hands high. "That's a manta ray, right? I didn't expect it to be so big!"

Kohei wiped his wet hair: "That's awesome. At first, I thought it was dark."

Lu Nan was drying Dai Miao's fur with a towel: "Hey you, why do you always show up in places the boss wouldn't expect?"

The silly cat tilted its head: "I don't know either, meow, I just stood on it without noticing~"

Yoshihara Aina chuckled, "Don't even mention Daimyo, maybe we wouldn't have seen such a powerful scene without him."

"Wow, that's amazing, and they're a couple!! I just wonder if they're husband and wife or father and son..."

"I never expected such a big thing to float right over my head."

As everyone was engaged in a lively discussion, Iori turned to look at Chisa, who was sitting to the side and seemed somewhat distracted: "Chisa, you must have seen this many times while you were working, right?"

Chisa snapped out of her daze and shook her head: "No, this is the first time I've observed this up close."

“I see…” Lu Nan suddenly lifted Dai Miao high, like an old baboon showing off a lion cub to the other animals: “Xin… Dai Miao is a hero!”

"Whoa!!" Iori and Kohei cheered with their hands raised, and the three of them started dancing the shaman again.

"Slow down! We're still on a boat!" Yoshihara Aina said helplessly.

"Diving is amazing!" Iori exclaimed.

"?! Awesome!?"

"Next time, Silly Meow, ride a shark back!"

"Okay, meow!!"

"You can't do that!"

Chisa stared blankly at the crowd in front of her, then looked down at the photos in the camera, her expression softening.

“I think so too,” she murmured softly.

……

Perhaps because they were too tired from diving so many times, everyone rested and dozed off in their seats.

"How are you? Are you happy?" Yuko asked.

Chisa flipped through the photos on the camera: "Hmm, happy."

"That's good." Yuko breathed a sigh of relief. "I was a little worried about you before."

Chisa looked up at the supervisor with a puzzled expression.

"Because you're meticulous but also a bit rigid," Yuko smiled. "It seems like you don't really enjoy the job of diving."

"That's because..." Chisa wanted to say something, but then silently fell silent.

Yuko gently nudged Chisa with her shoulder: "If you want your guests to enjoy diving, you have to learn to enjoy it yourself first, right?"

“You’re right.” Chisa looked down and fiddled with her fingers.

"Interpersonal relationships are the same. If you want to communicate honestly with others, you need to do the same." Yuko looked at Chisa with encouraging eyes.

“You have to be honest with yourself first…” Chisa said.

Yuko nodded in satisfaction: "That's right."

……

Looking out the window at her mother tidying up the bookshelves inside the house, Chisa began to mentally rehearse what she was going to say for the third time.

"What are you doing?" Iori appeared behind her like a ghost.

Chisa was startled and turned to look in the other direction: "No, it's nothing."

Iori turned her head and looked out the window, spotting Aunt Saya: "Ah, do you want to apologize for what happened yesterday? Then hurry up and go."

Chisa still hesitated: "But..."
