Yu Yi turned around and looked up into Ye Shi's eyes. Her deep cherry-colored eyes flickered faintly in the darkness, like a lost child.

"I know there's no point in doing this. It's dark and scary here, and my shoes and socks are soaked. It's freezing cold and uncomfortable. I'd be stupid to do this. I might even catch a cold the next day."

"but..."

The sea breeze ruffled her light pink hair, and the grip on her hand tightened a bit:

"Even if it's completely meaningless and I get laughed at as an idiot, I still want to do this."

Today, Yuyi pondered a question for a long time, which is...

"What is the meaning of travel?"

Why leave the comfort of your own home and spend money to suffer?

Going to a completely unfamiliar place, you don’t know what will happen next, who you will meet, and you may encounter danger.

Like... today.

If I hadn't traveled, today would have been a very ordinary Saturday.

You can rest at home leisurely without being choked by sea water, being exposed to the sun, having your tail pinched by crabs, or seeing Ye Shi's sad expression.

But, there is also the opposite side of the story.

If I hadn't come on this trip today, I wouldn't be able to see the real ocean, touch the pure water, learn more about Ye Si's past under the parasol, make friends with human girls, or see Ye Si's vulnerable side.

Gradually, she suddenly realized...

"The pursuit of meaning itself is meaningless. What's most important is...deciding for yourself what truly holds meaning."

Yu Yi took a step forward, closing the distance between her and Ye Shi. Her gentle movements caused ripples on the sea surface, and a faint blush appeared on her little face. She said:

"For me, as long as I'm with Ye Shi, no matter what I do, it has meaning."

The girl's most sincere emotions are revealed in her cherry-colored eyes.

Traveling itself has no meaning, but as long as I am with Ye Shi, all the experiences will become happy memories.

This is...Yuyi's answer.

...

original

So simple...

These words were like white moonlight, illuminating Ye Si's turbid heart and pulling her out from the deepest part of the seabed.

Having lived in the human world for so many years, she has always been bound by the shackles of "meaning".

No matter what you do, it must have a clear goal and reason, just like a task, otherwise it cannot be carried out.

This is why she was deceived for so many years in the name of "justice".

The word "justice" can be broken down into "correct meaning."

So, what exactly can be called "correct"?

Everyone has different standards, and Ye Si... has no standards and no ideas of her own.

She was like a puppet, blindly following the "justice" of others, fighting for those illusory things, and ultimately getting nothing.

It's really stupid.

So, now...

What kind of things are meaningful to her?

"call out--"

Suddenly, a long cry crossed the night sky.

A ray of light shot up into the sky, like a meteor flying against the sky, drawing a perfect arc and flying into the sky.

Then....

"boom!"

Brightly colored fireworks bloom brilliantly in the sky.

"Yes, it's fireworks!"

Yu Yi widened her eyes with excitement and looked in the direction of the fireworks. She saw two familiar figures beside a bonfire.

They were actually two human girls I met at a convenience store!

In other words, the fireworks blooming overhead are a celebration of the "Demon Festival"!

“Swish, swish, swish—”

More meteors flew back into the sky, blooming dazzling fireworks in the night sky. The night briefly turned into day, so brilliant that it was dazzling.

"Ye Shi, look! As expected, nothing is meaningless, right~?"

Yuyi was extremely excited. At this moment, they accidentally stood at the best fireworks viewing spot. The surrounding sea water reflected colorful waves, and the originally gloomy sea turned into a colorful stage.

As long as you don't give up, you will always encounter special surprises.

"Very beautiful..." Ye Shi responded.

However, she didn't look up at the sky at all. In her sight, there was only Yu Yi on the sea.

The blooming fireworks illuminated Yu Yi's profile and her incomparably lovely smile. Her eyes, as clear as glass beads, revealed the girl's purest emotions.

Ye Shi suddenly realized that if he had not experienced so many things, as a human being, he would never have had any intersection with Yu Yi, and the two of them would never have become lovers.

Everything was born out of countless choices that she considered "meaningless".

Now...

She finally found the "meaning" of her existence.

"Ye Shi, hurry up..."

Amidst the roar of fireworks, Yu Yi turned around, held her pink hair that was blown by the wind, and was about to say something...

"Chiu"

The softest touch came from my lips.

This is...

kiss.

A real kiss.

Ye Shi tucked her drooping black hair behind her ears, and amid the blooming fireworks, she bent down and kissed her lover's lips.

This feeling is amazing.

Every nerve cell in the brain is blooming like fireworks, and the scorching temperature fills the chest cavity.

This is... a kiss.

swish swish...

Before we knew it, the fireworks were over.

The flame tail disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the remaining heat in the sky.

"..."

The kiss between the two ended.

Yu Yi hadn't reacted yet, and she used the back of her hand to touch the pink lips that still retained warmth and touch. The next moment...

"Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot! Who, who allowed you to suddenly attack me!"

She immediately flew into a rage, her pink-haired little head was smoking, and she swung her fist at Ye Si.

but...

"Meow?!"

"Be careful."

Her foot slipped and she almost fell into the sea. Ye Si quickly reached out to support her body.

"Thump, thump."

The sound of an intense heartbeat.

Their chests pressed together, and they could feel each other's restless heartbeats and hot body temperatures.

At this moment, the emotions they both felt were the same.

"I like you."

Ye Shi hugged Yu Yi tightly and was unwilling to let go. He buried his face in her shoulder, feeling her soft warmth.

"Fool..."

Yu Yi was extremely shy, but she didn't choose to escape this time. She put her arms around Ye Si's back and responded with a blushing face:

"I like you...too."

The two people's most sincere confession echoed in the night when the fireworks had burned out.

...

...

"Yeshi, am I heavy?"

"light."

"If it's too serious, you can put me down."

"Need not."

The street lights illuminated the bricks on the road. Ye Si carried Yu Yi on his back and slowly walked towards the light.

"My feet are frozen. I really shouldn't do anything too reckless..."

Yu Yi lay on Ye Si's back and made complaining sounds.

I just soaked in the sea water for too long. When I was about to leave, I found that my feet were frozen and I couldn’t walk at all. My toes were almost numb.

With no other choice, she could only let Ye Si carry her away.

"Ye Shi, don't you feel cold?"

Yu Yi hugged Ye Si's neck from behind and asked in a worried tone.

"I don't think so." Ye Shi replied.

For her, this level of cold was like soaking her feet in warm water. It was nothing at all and quite comfortable.

"Ye Shi is really amazing. He's very strong, not afraid of cold or heat, and he runs very fast, just like Superman."

Yu Yi gently shook her tail behind her and said with a smile.

"...It's pretty ordinary."

Ye Shi disagreed.

“It’s not ordinary at all.”

Yu Yi rested her head on Ye Shi's back, shook her head and said:

"Ye Shi must have trained his body to this level in order to protect something important. That's a truly remarkable feat, and definitely not something that can be accomplished lightly."

"..."

Ye Shi paused for a moment.

In the eyes of most people, she is a magical girl of machinery, and it is natural for her to be able to do things that ordinary people cannot do.

She saved many people, but not many people thanked her. People always scolded her for not being perfect and ordered her to do better.

However, no one has ever considered that before becoming the Mechanical Magical Girl... she was just an ordinary girl.

Yu Yi's words healed her wounds again.

"Next time, let's travel together..."

Yuyi was so sleepy that she rested her head on Ye Si's back, muttered these words, and then fell asleep. She could faintly hear the sound of her steady breathing.
