My love index is at its maximum.

The dazzling Milky Way collapsed in an instant, turning into countless streams of light that poured down into his heart.

Chapter 168 Lucky Charm, activated.

As dawn broke, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the clouds, forming huge beams of light that fell onto the sea.

I rubbed my eyes and slowly opened them.

Tsukasa Tazaki propped himself up to sit up, pressed his temples, and slowly focused his gaze.

The sea surface shimmered with the morning light, and a cargo ship was slowly moving in the distance. He turned his head to look at Shiori Ninomiya lying beside him. A beam of light shone on the deck, covering her entire body from top to bottom.

The little cutie is sleeping soundly and sweetly.

The fine downy hairs on her cheeks, illuminated by the sunlight, looked as neatly arranged as water plants by the riverbank, a truly pleasing sight.

Her well-developed chest rose and fell with her heavy breathing. Her figure was generally on the thin side, but her slender limbs and neck accentuated the high arch of her breasts.

Tsukasa Tazaki yawned, spread her fingers as wide as possible, and began measuring down from her little head.

The result is that the little cutie's height is between 160 and 162 centimeters.

This youthful and energetic body would look absolutely stunning in a cat-ear maid outfit!

She absolutely has to wear it with the Minister!

After imagining that alluring scene for a while, Tsukasa Tazaki rested his chin on his hand and began to think about another problem.

What I sensed from Xiao Ke'ai was a captivating and alluring quality, albeit vaguely. No, it wasn't just captivating or alluring; that's not a good way to put it.

She is truly an angel!

So here's the question: if my sweetheart really wants to go back to Hokkaido next year, what methods can I use to keep her here?

When Yui Kawakawa woke up, it was six in the morning.

The temperature was comfortable, and the gentle sound of the ocean waves enveloped the world. She lay quietly for about ten seconds, then propped herself up to sit up. At the edge of her vision, beyond the clouds, the rising sun shone brightly. The sea below was also reflected in a huge band of light, dazzling and radiant.

After staring intently for a while, she seemed to remember something and suddenly turned her head.

Tazaki Tsukasa's figure came into view. Under the influence of light and angle, his profile had a dazzling, radiant quality, and his gaze, fixed on a certain spot, was filled with gentle ripples.

"asshole!"

Yui Kikawa stared blankly at the image of Shiori Ninomiya, her cheeks puffed out in a slightly angry manner.

"Good morning." Tsukasa Tazaki turned around and greeted her.

The two went into the cabin together to wash up. Afterwards, Tsukasa Tazaki made himself a cup of coffee and took it to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze.

On a summer morning, the sea offers a very wide view. The colors of the clouds near the sea blend seamlessly with the colors of the scattered islands, while seagulls circle endlessly overhead.

Yui Kikawa began her morning run along the deck, the curve of her chest swaying with each step.

Kuriyama Sakura, who had just woken up, wanted to curse.

Tsukasa Tazaki greeted him with a cup of coffee: "Good morning, Kuriyama-kun."

"No, very bad!"

The minister stormed into the cabin and didn't come out for a long time.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun was already very hot, to the point that you would sweat after being in the sun for a while.

The little cutie was the last to wake up, still groggy and with a kind of "morning daze" debuff, she washed up and ate breakfast. At eight o'clock in the morning, the last day of filming began.

It was supposed to be a film shoot, but it was really just fishing.

Three beautiful young women huddled under a large parasol on the deck, drinking cold drinks and enjoying the sea breeze. Three men, basking in the scorching sun, stared blankly at the buoys on the sea surface.

"Speaking of the Oma-cho Ippon-tsuru (one-fishing) fishing, it's quite something!"

President Nakano ripped off his sunglasses and roared at Tsukasa Tazaki with fervor, "One man, one rod, against a tuna weighing over a hundred kilograms—a pure one-on-one battle between man and fish. If the man wins, he eats the fish. If the fish wins, the man gets nothing. How exciting is that? It's the most beautiful display of individual heroism!"

"Mmmmmmm..."

Tsukasa Tazaki nodded absentmindedly.

Tuna are a very large fish, and the one-shot fishing method is a great test of the fisherman's physical strength and willpower. Net fishing or line fishing with hundreds of hooks cast at once by machine can make it easier to catch them, but the one-shot fishing method has been popular for thousands of years because the tuna caught in this way is in better condition, and the fish can be bled and gutted in time to maintain the freshness of the fish meat.

But... I'm just filming a video, who cares if the meat quality is bad?

Tazaki Tsukasa turned and glared at the blonde girl under the parasol, thinking that being too much of a perfectionist was really a torment. June was definitely not the season for tuna fishing; you'd probably spend the whole day there and not even see a fish's tail.

Wasting time and energy is one thing, but what do you mean by not even bringing me a cold drink?

The three beautiful girls noticed Tsukasa Tazaki's gaze, but none of them paid him any attention.

Two of them didn't understand what he was trying to say, while the one who did was so righteous that he wished he would suffer more.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and the sun grew increasingly scorching.

Just sitting still, you'll be covered in sweat in less than half a minute.

Tsukasa Tazaki desperately wanted to retreat back to his cabin.

But as soon as I see the little cutie's encouraging eyes, I feel like I've been nursed back to health, and my whole body is full of energy.

What a strange buff...

In the shade of a parasol, three beautiful girls lay on deck chairs, sipping cold drinks and enjoying the sea breeze. A small table in front of them was laden with various fruits and snacks.

"Kikawa-kun..." Shiori Ninomiya asked, holding a coconut in her hand and sipping it, "Can they really catch tuna?"

"It's difficult."

Yui Kikawa, operating the drone, said helplessly, "Tuna are migratory fish and don't stay in the same area all year round. Right now, there are only a few scattered tuna in the waters around Oma Town."

The little cutie tilted her head, her big eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Kuriyama Sakura, legs crossed, read a book while explaining: "Every spring and summer, bluefin tuna in the waters near Japan migrate south to warmer waters to spawn, roughly around Okinawa and Taiwan. In autumn and winter, they migrate to the vicinity of Aomori and Hokkaido, and then continue south the following year. Some of these fish choose to cross the Pacific Ocean and reach the waters off California, USA. Their classification changes from Japanese to American. Of course, their classification isn't fixed; it largely depends on their stage of life and where they are caught."

"Wow~ Sakura is amazing! She's like an encyclopedia, she can answer any question you don't understand!"

"...Please do not add adjectives to my name."

“I understand…” Yui Kawakawa chimed in, turning her head to glare at him: “Sakura-chan.”

Kuriyama Sakura helplessly covered her face with the book and lay down to let herself be mocked.

"Kiki, drink coconut water."

Shiori Ninomiya ran out holding a coconut, her energetic smile as dazzling as the sand on a beach in the early morning.

"Thank you."

"Keep it up! Shiori-chan will always encourage you!"

The little cutie left those words behind, then ran back under the parasol with her bottom sticking out, and brought a cold drink to Uncle Nakano and Uncle Ferry each.

Sitting on a small stool, the kind fisherman would use with a little umbrella, Tsukasa Tazaki sipped coconut water, watching the seagulls, the white clouds, and the white sails in the distance. The sea shimmered, reflecting the sunlight so brightly it hurt the eyes.

By noon, the thick morning clouds had long since been blown away, and the world had become even hotter. The seagulls had stopped foraging, and the sea was quiet, with barely a breeze and calm waves.

It was as if everything conscious was deliberately avoiding the scorching heat; there was no trace of any biological activity.

The three fishing buddies had no choice but to retreat back to the cabin to rest, waiting until the afternoon sun was less intense before continuing their fishing.

"Sea fishing isn't that easy," President Nakano said, chugging a can of cola. "Even in autumn and winter, no one can guarantee catching a bluefin tuna every day. Don't worry about not having fish; I have plenty at my fish farm. If you can't catch one, I'll just go and catch one from the farm for you to photograph!"

"Thank you."

Kikawa responded softly, without saying anything else.

After a quick lunch, everyone went to find a place to take a nap.

Kuriyama Sakura occupied the only sofa in the cabin. Instead of sleeping, she straddled her beautiful legs and stared with a smile at Tazaki Tsukasa, who was sitting on the floor next to the sofa.

Her smile was beautiful, giving people a sense of purity and innocence.

While flipping through the copy of "The Catcher in the Rye" that she had been reading that morning, Tsukasa Tazaki asked, "Why are you laughing so strangely?"

"I thought of some interesting things."

"what's up?"

"Don't you find it interesting to destroy the perfection of a perfect girl?"

I don't think so.

"This behavior is like tearing her outer garment."

“If that’s how you put it, then I’m interested.” Tsukasa Tazaki put down his book and met Sakura Kuriyama’s gaze. “Please let the club president tear it up. I’ve already opened my eyes wide.”

Kuriyama Sakura's face turned cold: "You're so vulgar!"

"Let's get down to business..." Tsukasa Tazaki leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Why do I feel like you're deliberately targeting the blond guy?"

That's not true!

"Come on, I can see right through your lie."

Kuriyama Sakura frowned gracefully, staring at him coldly: "What do you mean?"

"Hmm, I must say, Minister's legs are really beautiful."

"Tazaki-san, please stop now!"

Kuriyama Sakura curled up on the sofa, hugging her bare legs beneath her skirt with both hands: "Why I'm targeting her is my business. Why are you, a man, meddling so much? You're so stupid!"

"It's about stealing a man, isn't it..."

"Snapped!"

Kuriyama Sakura slapped his face onto the sofa, gritting her fierce little tiger teeth as she commanded, "Shut up!"

"Then let me put it another way..."

With his face pressed against the wall, Tsukasa Tazaki said with difficulty, "I'm your member. How you use my rights is yours alone. You can't share those rights with the blond guy. Is that alright?"

"Humph~"

Kuriyama Sakura released his hand, her expression indifferent.

Feigning indifference.

"Your Excellency, I have something to ask you."
