The harbor is filled with the unique smell of the sea, and Otowa can't help but think back to the days when he struggled on the sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the conditions on the ship are not difficult, it still makes people feel different when they don't go ashore for ten days and half a month.

"Otowa, I'm here—"

Just as Otowa was about to board the ship, a flaxen-haired girl waved at her.

You don't have to think about it to know that this beautiful girl is Otowa's good friend Arissa.

"Uh-huh, I'm coming. ”

Otowa replied to Arisa as he climbed the ship's ladder.

"It's been a long time, Otowa, did you miss me?"

"It's only been half a month, is it so exaggerated to use that? ”

Looking at Arisana as if she had seen her lover who had been on a business trip for a long time, Otoha couldn't help but tilt her head.

"Otowa, you're still so ruthless. ”

Speaking of this, Arisa also showed a very hurt expression.

"We'll talk about these things later, what's Shizuku's condition?"

Arissa's circle with social skills EX is definitely not going to end well, and Otowa knows this very well, so she went straight to the point this time.

"Shizuku, I'm in the room right now. ”

"Okay, I'll go over it. ”

"Uh-huh, let's go. ”

Arisa has one good thing, and that is that she is very empathetic. She also knew the priorities of the matter, so she didn't say much to Otowa.

On the way to the living quarters, Otowa barely saw a single person.

But after a little thought, she figured out who would want to stay on the ship on a rare trip to London.

It was Arisa who was willing to stay on the ship in order to take care of Shizuku.

Soon, Otowa found a room in the living area with the word "Hirai" hanging on the door.

"Shizuku, it's me. ”

After Otowa finished speaking, he knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in. ”

Shizuku's reply was as brief as ever, with little embellishment.

"I'm in. ”

With Shizuku's permission, Otowa slowly pushed the door open.

Shizuku's room is a little simple, and she doesn't even see any decorations, not at all like a room that a girl of her age should have.

"You're here. ”

Even though she hadn't seen Otowa in a while, Shizuku still hadn't looked at her more, still tirelessly working on the documents in front of her.

"It's a good thing to be dedicated, but don't overdo it. ”

"Hmm. ”

Shizuku's type of girls are simply topic busters, and no matter what others say, they can always end the conversation with one word.

"I heard Arisa say that you must stay on the ship. ”

Otowa can be regarded as having found experience, and to talk to Shizuku, you have to keep creating topics.

"The shore was too noisy for me. ”

“……”

Where are you a mermaid? How could there be a human being unfit to go ashore!

But complaining is complaining.,This kind of voice feather will never open in front of Shizuku.。

"Are you scared?" asked Otoha slowly.

“…… No. ”

Although he said so, the pen in Shizuku's hand stopped.

"Sure enough, you're scared. Staring into Shizuku's eyes, Otowa continued, "You're afraid of the people in your family, you're afraid of being ridiculed by them. ”

“……”

Shizuku didn't say anything, just sat there quietly.

Seeing that Shizuku didn't move, Otowa continued to speak.

"Because you lost the national tournament and then ran away from home like a kid and you haven't made any achievements yet. ”

"Not really!"

Unlike the emotionless voice before, Shizuku was obviously a little angry this time.

It's really a big fool of Quan, and it's not something anyone can do to provoke a mouthless girl.

"If not, how about accompanying me to the Campbell League awards ceremony tonight?"

“……”

Shizuku seems to be lost in thought and doesn't reply to Otowa head-on.

"Then it's settled, I'll be waiting for you at the docks at six o'clock. ”

Without waiting for Shizuku to say anything, Otoha left her room directly.

“…… I wasn't afraid. ”

It wasn't until Otowa had been gone for a long time that Shizuku whispered to himself.

……

"How's Shizuku's condition going?"

"It stimulated her, I don't know if she will come with me to tonight's awards ceremony. ”

As the protagonist of the award ceremony, Otowa is naturally able to bring people in.

"Stir up the law. Arisa nodded thoughtfully. "However, the people of the Shizuku family will also come tonight, so you let Shizuku face them directly...... Are you sure it's okay?"

"That's what I want, for Shizuku...... There are always things to face. ”

"Are you sure it's really okay, what if Shizuku gets taunted?"

Arisha's face was full of worry, and she didn't seem to be optimistic about Otowa's approach.

"Don't worry, I'm here. Otowa patted his chest, and then said confidently, "Whoever dares to bully Shizuku-chan, I'll blow his dog's head!"

"I'm a little worried, I'll go over too. ”

"It's best if you go too, Arisha. ”

Arisha, who has social skills EX, is here.,How can Shizuku still suffer.。

"Still. As if she had suddenly remembered something, Arisa said with some anxiety, "What if Shizuku collapses after tonight passes?"

Arisha's worries are not unreasonable, such an impact is not something that ordinary little girls can withstand, and a careless accident may be a devastating blow.

"No, I believe Shizuku, she's not like that. ”

"That's right. ”

As if infected by Otoha's confidence, Arisa smiled.

For the sake of Shizuku, their two good friends are also heartbroken.

"By the way, Arissa, I have something I want you to help with. ”

"What's the matter?"

"That...... Do you have ...... Banquet ...... Looks upscale...... Dress?"

"Huh?"

Even an existence like Arisa suddenly failed to understand the meaning of Otowa's words.

"That's it, I don't have a dress for the party, so I wanted to ask if you can get one. ”

“……”

Arisha's gaze at Otoha instantly became strange.

Being stared at with such eyes, even a cheeky existence like Otowa blushed a little.

"Hey, don't look at me with such rudeness! I'm just poor!" Otoha said angrily.

"It's just a sigh. Arisa paused, and then continued: "I didn't expect that someone as strong as Otowa, you would be embarrassed by such a trivial matter. ”

"I'm just a high school student who was kicked out of school, what the hell do you imagine me to be......"

Otowa's expression also became complicated.

"Hmm...... Humanoid Gundam or something?"

"It's too much!"
