The real issue at hand is clearly the problem between myself and Eriri.

She suddenly fell ill today, and her condition has only improved slightly. It is estimated that it will take several more days before she is fully recovered.

Considering her personality, she definitely can't be in such a hurry, so it seems that the only option is to start testing the waters slowly later.

Because Eriri suddenly fell ill, her IV drip didn't finish until noon.

After returning to the hotel, settling in, and having lunch, it was already past one o'clock.

This round trip took up almost half of the day, and the remaining time was not plentiful. Even if we were in a hurry, we definitely wouldn't be able to follow the original plan.

So everyone tacitly decided to spend the rest of the day at the hotel.

In the afternoon, we spent the time playing billiards and ping-pong in the hotel's entertainment room, and in the evening, we went to a nearby karaoke bar together.

Eriri still feels guilty about this, because everyone's plans were disrupted just because of her.

Actually, no one had such thoughts. Yukino Rikka Saeko even comforted her, telling her to rest well and not to think too much.

She took her medicine on time in the afternoon and evening and went to bed early.

When I woke up the next day, I had basically recovered.

Apart from feeling a bit weak in my limbs and not being able to exert my full strength, everything else is normal. My dizziness has subsided, and my throat doesn't hurt as much anymore.

Yukino was still a little worried about this, and thought that she should stay at the hotel for another day to help Eriri rest and recover, while the others could proceed with their activities as planned.

But Eriri is the kind of person who can't sit still, and she really doesn't want to spoil everyone's fun because of herself, so even if she has to pretend, she has to act like "I'm completely fine" and join in.

So, as planned, the day's itinerary took place at the Miyako City Aquarium.

The aquarium here is much smaller in area than the one in Tokyo, and it doesn't have as many marine creatures.

But perhaps because of the high spirits they had during the trip, everyone still had a great time.

After being out for a few hours, Yukino was relieved to find that Eriri was really alright. She even lingered in front of the penguin exhibit, taking out her phone to clearly record those adorable creatures.

When it was lunchtime, the group chose to eat at a themed restaurant outside the aquarium that also featured marine life.

Not only is the interior decoration adorable, but the dishes and desserts served are also unique, all meticulously decorated with various marine creature shapes. Even before eating, you'll feel it's worth the price of admission just because of their appearance.

I must say, it tasted quite delicious when I actually tasted it, which was an unexpected bonus for today.

In the afternoon, Yuan Qianye took them by taxi to a commercial beach with many recreational facilities.

This was an arrangement he had planned in advance, and he had done his homework before coming.

The area offers a wide range of recreational activities, including but not limited to thrilling jet skis, windsurfing, banana boats, and kayaks, as well as more relaxing shallow-water services such as introductory diving, sea fishing, and fish catching.

The girls couldn't reach a consensus on these specific projects due to differences in their personalities and interests, but that's okay. They had plenty of time on this trip, so there was no need to rush. They could focus intently, as if having a serious conversation with someone else present: "I don't care what that idiot blondie really thinks of you, whether it's just simple childhood friend dependence or some ulterior motive..."

Yuan Qianye was quite uncomfortable: "Shiyu, can you stand up and speak?"

Utaha ignored him and continued speaking in that squatting position: "...You need to know that you are now someone who has two official partners at the same time, me and Saeko Busujima. So I hope you can consciously keep your distance from any potential partners with ulterior motives and not do anything that would make me and Saeko feel sad."

"Shiyu, I think you're overthinking it."

"Aren't you overthinking it? A simple experiment will make it clear."

"experiment?"

"Take a deep breath and now imagine that the person squatting in front of you is that stupid blondie."

"Aha?"

"Whoo~"

Shi Yu let out a soft breath.

Then she watched silently, a cold smile reappearing on her face: "What else do you have to say? You're so excited just hearing my hypothetical scenario. If you really had the chance to succeed, would you let it go?"

Yuan Qianye immediately turned his back to protest: "You're framing me! This experiment is completely unconvincing!"

Shi Yu stood up: "Whether it's a fabricated charge or not, you know best in your heart. In short, I've made my attitude clear to you. If you insist on hurting me, I will find an opportunity to jump into the sea with you and die together. I mean it. I can't confront you directly, but I can poison what you eat."

"..."

What kind of yandere/terrorist threat is this...?

But how come it's surprisingly catchy?

Yuan Qianye sighed: "...Yes, yes."

What else can he say besides verbally agreeing?

Upon receiving his submissive response, Shi Yu's expression softened.

She stroked the marks on his back that she had unconsciously scratched the night before, and her tone softened considerably: "Does it still hurt here? I didn't notice at all back then. Who told you to be so rough and not listen to me? Do you want me to go to the pharmacy later and buy you some ointment to apply?"

Yuan Qianye turned around: "It's all fine over there, but I'm feeling really uncomfortable here and need to get treatment."

His intentions are obvious.

"Tch~" Shi Yu snorted lightly, quickly withdrew her hand, and ignored him.

Not to mention it's broad daylight and everyone else is outside, she still has to maintain her dignity.

Even considering that her body hasn't fully recovered yet, she wouldn't comply with him at this time.

She didn't want her hard-won trip to end with nothing but boring memories of lying in a hotel bed to recover.

"It's not a serious problem. Just take a cold shower and calm down."

After she finished speaking, she didn't give Yuan Qianye any chance to speak or make any further moves.

He turned around abruptly, opened the bathroom door with a clean and decisive motion, and walked out without looking back.

Yuan Qianye turned the water back on, rubbed his face with his hands under the running water, and shook his head with a mix of helplessness and amusement.

What kind of situation is this...?

It was supposed to be a pleasant and relaxing trip, but how did it turn out like this?

Saeko secretly facilitated the match.

Eriri bravely took the initiative, which resulted in a "tsunami" of events.

My emotional perception suddenly changed because of that "accident".

And Shiyu clearly sensed something, her forceful intervention and warning, tinged with jealousy and unease...

A small team of only six people suddenly exposed so many problems. His original intention was really just to bring everyone out to relax!

In just a few days, I've been glued to the screen of this guy who can't live without a nap, to the fragrant study, and to every update of "Anime Crossover: Who Isn't a Childhood Friend?" Why does it feel even more tiring than his usual busy work schedule?

Yuan Qianye silently grumbled a few words to relieve the pressure, and then quickly cheered up.

There were many things to deal with, all of which piled up at once and required his attention.

However, there's no need to panic or break down because of this.

In short, let's first clarify the relationships between all parties.

The situation regarding Saeko and Utaha can be put on hold for a while.

The real issue at hand is clearly the problem between myself and Eriri.

She suddenly fell ill today, and her condition has only improved slightly. It is estimated that it will take several more days before she is fully recovered.

Considering her personality, she definitely can't be in such a hurry, so it seems that the only option is to start testing the waters slowly later.

"So let's confirm one more time. It's just me, Saeko, Eriri, and Rikka who want to try jet skiing. Yukino and Utaha aren't interested, right?"
