The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

"No, no..."

Chisa Kotegawa knew her voice wasn't exactly quiet just now. She stared at her expressionless mother and slowly bit her lower lip. Well, after all, it was only natural that her mother would have a problem with her after making such a big blunder.

"Ah, Chisa did call out to her mother-in-law just now."

"Yuu!?"

Caught off guard by the guy who had returned, Kotegawa Chisa jumped back in fright. She had thought he was still engrossed in his schemes against Kohei and couldn't pull himself out of it!

"Is that so, Chisa? Just say what you want to say! My ears aren't just for show."

"Sigh... What my mother-in-law means is that I can come to her anytime if I encounter any problems, and that she no longer cares about what happened last night."

I knew this mother and daughter were up to something, which is why Miyazawa Yuu chose to go back to help the moment he realized Chisa hadn't followed.

Standing between Chisa and Sayaka with his arms crossed, he reluctantly began acting as a translator under the murderous gaze of his mother-in-law, interpreting Sayaka's harsh tone according to his own understanding.

"Huh? But I clearly did something wrong, and I almost got Iori into trouble..."

Trusting Yu, Kotegawa Chisa readily accepted the former's simple explanation, then widened her orange eyes and looked at Saya with a hint of surprise!

She had thought her mother had already rejected her, but she never expected that her mother had already forgiven her.

"..."

Burned by her second daughter's piercing gaze, Sayaka Kotekawa's brows furrowed slightly in embarrassment. A battle began to rage between her icy exterior and her burning desire to be close to her daughter.

"It's perfectly normal to be clumsy, but since Iori didn't complain, what right do I have to interfere!"

"I don't dislike Chisa even though she's clumsy, and Iori doesn't mind either. In that case, you two should solve your own problems!"

"A young couple?! Iori and I aren't even..."

"It's no use telling me; it seems my mother-in-law has already made up her mind!"

Her eyes twitched slightly. Although what Yu the little rascal said was indeed what she really felt, the intense shame of having her underwear almost exposed still made the veins on Kotekawa Sayaka's forehead bulge.

She slowly walked behind You, and expressionlessly raised the registration board in her hand!

Chapter 329 That guy who wears his underwear inside out! What right does he have to criticize others!

"In the end, we're still suffering the same fate! Yoshi yoshi!"

"Well, my mother-in-law is good in every way, but her temper really needs some work. I really don't know how someone as easy-going as Uncle Toshio could have been chosen by her!"

The entire diving trip went very smoothly. On the last trip back, Yu Miyazawa and Maki Kujo leaned against the windowsill, licking each other's wounds.

With one person sporting a huge bag on their head, they unsurprisingly became the most conspicuous figures on the entire trip today.

Almost everyone who sees the two of them will take a half step back as a way of elbowing the already riddled hearts of the underwear-wearing man and the shirt-wearing woman!

"Seriously, they're complete idiots..."

"Uh-huh!"

Nodding in agreement with Kohei's point of view from a short distance away, Kotegawa Chisa was very grateful that Yu could help her translate, but she just couldn't refute the part about him being an idiot!

"Everyone! We are about to dock. Please move to the side of the ship and wait!"

"Oh! We're almost at the shore. What do you say, Maki?"

"I'll go help. In the very end, I'll show you guys who came to help what a magnanimous old-timer I am!"

Patting her flattened chest, Kujo Maki smiled and ran to the ship's side. She needed to go down to the deck with the head waitress to help the guests disembark.

It's important to know that wooden decks on the beach are usually waxed, and if guests are wet and wearing flip-flops, it's very easy to slip and fall.

"Everyone! The deck is quite slippery, so please watch your step!"

"Well~ you only started acting like a senior now that it's all over, really~"

He remained sprawled on the ship's railing, too lazy to move. According to the plan, today was Miyazawa Yu's last day working at Dolphin, so being a little bit of a slacker shouldn't be a problem...

"Oh Huh! That's a really long line. I'll go this way..."

"..."

It's like when things don't go right, just when I thought I was only observing from the sidelines for a short while, work came knocking on my door.

Miyazawa Yu quickly got up, made a prohibition gesture, and walked toward the middle-aged man who was trying to jump from the stern onto the deck!

"I'm sorry, sir, Palau is a southern country with a lot of moisture, so our deck may be a bit slippery. For your safety, please use the escalator to disembark!"

"Huh? It's alright, kid. Anyone who slips and falls over this little bit of water is just an amateur. Don't worry about it!"

Turning his head, the middle-aged local guest frowned the moment he saw Miyazawa Yu, rubbed his nose unhappily, and was still determined to go his own way and continue disembarking.

Seeing this, Miyazawa Yu sighed and instantly teleported in front of the man, reaching out to protect his waist and blocking his path to climb over.

It's important to understand that dive shops have a responsibility to protect the safety of their customers. Even if the incident was caused by the other party acting unilaterally, Dolphin will undoubtedly still bear legal responsibility if a safety accident occurs.

"I'm sorry, sir, although you look like a seasoned pro, for your safety's sake, we would appreciate it if..."

"You idiot! Didn't I tell you I didn't need your help? You arrogant brat! I've put up with you for too long!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Miyazawa Yu keenly noticed the tremor in the other person's jaw muscles. She then skillfully raised her head and swallowed the rest of her sentence, thus avoiding being attacked by the guest's saliva.

"Oh? I'm sorry, sir, I was only doing this for your safety. Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"

"Nonsense! Don't I know? Kid! You should know I've been diving for ten times longer than you! What right does an unprofessional like you have to point fingers at me!"

"well--?"

Puzzled and trying to recall, Miyazawa Yu tilted her head, unable to remember doing anything wrong. At least, her work as a diving guide should have been quite perfect.

Honestly, I have absolutely no idea what's causing this man's anger...

"Hey! What's with that confused look on your face! Do you think I'm being unreasonable? What's with this amateur who wears his panties inside out acting so arrogant!"

Although the young man in front of him was stronger, the middle-aged local man was not intimidated at all. Seeing that the other party still dared to play dumb, he directly pointed out exactly what was bothering him.

This guy is clearly a goofball who wears his underwear inside out, yet he dares to come up and tell me what to do! He really doesn't know his own limitations!

If he listened to this guy, he'd probably become the laughingstock among the locals for succumbing to the antics of amateur young men who wear their underwear inside out!

"Ah...no wonder, I see~That's the only point that's completely undeniable..."

Nodding in sudden realization, Miyazawa Yu's anger at being innocently scolded vanished instantly. He narrowed his eyes, lowered his head, and humbly apologized, "I'm sorry, the punishment game gave you a bad experience. Please forgive me!"

"Tch, good thing you know..."

With a wide-eyed glare, the middle-aged customer, surprised that You, despite his robust appearance, was surprisingly easy to talk to, turned his head, softened his tone, and clicked his tongue in amazement: "Now that you understand, why don't you get out of the way!"

"I'm sorry, has our guide caused you any inconvenience? In that case, please let me help you disembark!"

"...Alright..."

Seeing that Yu was in trouble, Kujo Maki quickly waved her arms and ran over to smooth things over.

Seeing that there was a way out, the middle-aged man, who wasn't necessarily determined to take the unconventional route, decided to reluctantly follow the shop assistant's directions since the staff seemed quite helpful...

"Feel sorry!"

After readjusting the T-shirt that had been constricting her neck during the run, Maki Kujo smiled and guided him, one hand pressed against her flattened chest, "Then please follow me..."

"Look at this! Do you even have any proper guides here? And that sickly blond guy over there, what's wrong with him?!"

“Private Marseille!”

She was scolded as soon as she arrived. Kujo Maki forced a smile but felt incredibly bitter inside. After all, wearing the T-shirt inside out was the store manager's requirement and had nothing to do with her!

"Um, sir, I'm very sorry that our staff didn't meet your professional expectations. Please allow me to apologize to someone as experienced as you!"

"Ok?"

Angrily, the middle-aged man lowered his gaze again and looked down at the boat, where he saw a girl in a refreshing orange swimsuit bowing respectfully in apology.

They weren't sickly or wearing their underwear inside out; at least outwardly, they were absolutely flawless, much better than the oddballs in front of me!

"Yeah, you can tell I'm an old hand, right? These guys come up here and start lecturing without even considering whether they're qualified."

"Yes! As a veteran, you've always been a role model for us diving newbies!"

"Yes—! That's right! We must respect our seniors!"

Smiling and tilting her head back, feeling as if she had successfully elevated the other person to the heavens, Kotegawa Chisa immediately presented her bright, admiring eyes and said, "And you actually just wanted to come to the stern to see the view, right? I'm so sorry our guide misunderstood you!"

"That's right! Actually, I never intended to get off the ship in the first place. It was all that brat's fault for talking nonsense! Now there are reasonable people around! Honestly..."

"Yes! Please come this way."

The arrogant middle-aged man was completely overwhelmed by the young and beautiful girl's flattery, and he didn't even spare Yu a second glance before striding down the gangway.

Throughout this period, they kept repeating terms like "rebellious mentality" and "employee training," which were incomprehensible to most people.

Qian Sha echoed the song, and for a moment the air was filled with joy!

"Chisa, you can actually laugh?"

On the other side of the ship, Kujo Maki was stunned for a while before she realized what had happened.

She was prepared to take the scolding first and wait until the head waiter finished serving the other guests before coming to her rescue. But unexpectedly, Chisa, who was usually quiet, suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

And what's with that refreshing smile? Isn't Chisa a pure ice queen like the shop manager?!

"Yu?"

"Ugh... I'm sorry, Chisa's smile is disgusting, I can't stand it anymore! Ugh!"

Leaning on the edge of the boat, Miyazawa Yu covered his mouth, his eyes filled with tears he had been holding back. The 1.9-meter-tall strong man was so weak that his legs were trembling!

Even so, he would occasionally gag into the sea to prove that his body had a natural rejection reaction to Chisa's smile!

"No! Shouldn't this be encouraged? Why would it make you feel so nauseous that you vomit?!"

"Hey..."

"Even Kohei is among them?"

Seeing the Pab duo lying on the edge of the boat, lost in their own thoughts, Kujo Maki's pupils dilated in shock, and she gained a whole new understanding of the friendship between these guys!

Chapter 330 The Final Approval from Mother and Daughter~

"Welcome to visit us again!"

Bending down to see all the guests off, Chisa Kotegawa waved goodbye to the most difficult local uncle, her heart still pounding wildly.

There is no doubt that she is doing something she has never done before—faking a smile, lying, and playing favorites, something she would never do when dealing with Grand Blue's regular customers.

Fortunately, I think I succeeded this time...right?

"Manager...did I do the right thing? Why do I feel like I wasn't myself just now?"

"Hmm... Whether it's right or wrong is up to Chisa to decide, but Chisa's dream is to become a diving guide like Nanaka, right?"

The head waitress glanced at the newcomer's growth and confusion, her cheeks tingling with curiosity. She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. When she opened them again, she saw a sky full of stars gradually brightening.

Raising her hand high, taking in the beautiful scenery through her fingers, she smiled and explained, "Service and personal relationships are not the same. If Chisa wants to share the joy of diving with more people..."

Reaching out, she took Chisa's small hand and gently placed it on her chest. "You have to listen attentively, accept everyone's differences, and give them the happiness they want most. Only then should you dive!"

"But shouldn't diving be the most important thing?"

Although she was tempted, Chisa Kotegawa suddenly turned her head and looked at the head waitress with a serious expression in her eyes!

Just like the situation just now, although the problem was eventually resolved perfectly, the customer also gave themselves a very high evaluation.

But the other party insulted Yu and Maki. It was clearly their own fault for not paying attention to diving safety, yet they insisted on blaming others. Is this kind of behavior acceptable?

"Well, let me reiterate, we are service providers. Since we've chosen to anchor our future in this way, we should be prepared to suffer grievances in advance!"

The head waitress gently tapped Chisa's nose, then smiled and turned her around, making her nose look like a little pig's. There she saw Miyazawa Yu and Imamura Kohei, still shaken, helping each other off the boat.

As for Maki, after she disembarked, she rushed straight into the store, knelt down, hugged Sayaka Furudekawa's leg, and burst into tears!

The latter tried to shake it off but couldn't get rid of the pest. He could only point to the changing room and say something unhappily. Maki immediately thanked him profusely and rushed into the changing room.

"Nobody paid any attention to that, because we were providing service! Since we're wearing these clothes, we should prioritize the guests' subjective feelings."

Reaching out to pull up the corner of Chisa's mouth, the head waitress turned her head and smiled, "Diving is a process; happiness and enjoyment are the goals. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse to pursue diving too much while ignoring personal feelings?"

"Have I... put the cart before the horse?"

Standing there, bewildered, Chisa Kotegawa has always loved diving and is committed to sharing this hobby equally with everyone.

But what she didn't understand was that being a diving guide was no longer just about making friends. Unlike scum like Miyazawa Yu who was tricked into joining the Pab club, the guide would be facing many more unfamiliar tourists on her own!

They may have put on their diving suits with that in mind, but before becoming friends, they are first and foremost guests seeking enjoyment...
