After getting off the bus, first-year students poured into the Ludaowan Aquarium as a class.

Behind the aquarium was the May bay, where the waves were not as eager as they had seen on the side of the mountain trail, but gently pushing towards land.

The building is divided into two floors above ground and one underground, and the teachers announce the start of free visits as soon as they enter the building.

Because Hoshikawa Aoi saw that sharks could be seen in the underground pavilion on the display board at the entrance of the museum, they took the escalator to the basement floor first at her strong suggestion.

After passing around several aquariums filled with coral reefs, shellfish, and other marine life, you will be greeted by an underwater landscape tunnel with many tourists.

Through the transparent glass, all kinds of sea fish swim leisurely.

"It's a hammerhead shark! Look! ”

Hoshikawa Aoi rushed to the glass edge on the right side like a loose Kelpi, and pointed to a passing shark and said.

"Does Hoshikawa like sharks?"

Li Wu and Arisa followed from behind.

"Hmmm! Aside from monkfish, drip fish and sunfish, my favorite is sharks! ”

"Wouldn't the sharks be happy if they knew they were behind these few......

Arisa pressed her hand to the glass, and a ray came out of the sand, shook its pectoral fins, and swam in front of her.

Frightened, Arisa took a few steps back.

"Irisa, do you have a favorite fish?"

Li Wu turned his head to look at her.

“…… I liked it just now, but I was scared by it. ”

Arisa hesitated and replied a little embarrassed.

"Rays, is there any reason?"

"Because you just have to hide in the sand all the time and show up again when it's time to eat."

"The rays aren't so self-contained."

"Arisa's dream is to stay at home when she grows up, stealing blood from her father's hospital."

"You can't be so depraved!"

The three of them walked out of the tunnel and stopped in front of the aquarium they wanted to see.

"It's so nice, I occasionally imagine what it's like to live in the sea."

Hoshikawa Aoi bent down and stared at the pink starfish attached to a reef.

"You'll see a lot of octopuses, squid, and squid."

"Classmate Li Wu! You did it on purpose! ”

Aoi Hoshikawa, who was aroused by occupational disease, looked at him angrily.

"You won't really live in the sea anyway."

"One day, when I hate Li Wu very, very much, I will catch a mermaid, cover her scales and jump into the sea."

"Leave the poor merfolk alone, does this method really work?"

Hearing this, Xingchuan raised his finger and shook it: "Classmate Li Wu is still a layman in this regard, so let Teacher Xingchuan teach you." ”

She cleared her throat: "Listen, in many worldviews, the principle of casting spells will have the characteristics of idolatry theory, that is, by imitating some or all of the characteristics of the real thing, the corresponding power is obtained. ”

"For example, crosses and Buddhist scriptures will carry a weak power to ward off evil spirits, and our transformation is to imitate the witch to hide her true face, and similar geographical locations can also establish a mapping relationship, so through a specific ritual wearing the scales of a mermaid, you can transform into a sea creature, please applaud if you understand!"

"Arisa, do you think this hookhead fish is really motionless?"

"Hey!"

Hoshikawa Aoi quickly followed.

In fact, he really listened.

I followed the flow of people and unconsciously went up to the first floor, only to bump into the light head-on.

She looked around as if she was looking for something.

"Xiaoguang, aren't you with the people in Class D?"

Arisha asked.

"Well—something is wrong, Shiratori seems to have gotten lost."

"It's obviously you who got lost!"

Li Wu sighed, "You can visit with us." ”

Coming up from the basement floor is the touch area on the first floor.

"Why are they called cat sharks and dog sharks?"

As a shark lover, Hoshikawa Aoi lies on the edge of the pool, reaching out to pet a shark that is only a few tens to a hundred centimeters in size.

"To make it easier to identify the source of the synths?"

Light presents his own opinion.

"I don't think they're made of cats, dogs, and sharks!"

Hoshikawa suffered a major blow because of her words.

Hikariya reached out and touched the shark in front of her.

"It's slippery, it's disgusting."

Although she said disgusting with a blank face, she still kept touching it.

Arisa leaned against the wall across the pool with her hands behind her back, looking at the two of them who were having fun.

"Aren't you going to try it?"

Li Wu had just touched the sea cucumbers in the pool, and now he didn't want to touch the sea creatures.

She shook her head and suddenly said to Li Wu, "I'm sorry, classmate Li Wu." ”

"Why the sudden apology?"

"At that time yesterday, I was impulsive again because I couldn't help in the face of danger, in fact, the most correct choice should be to let Hoshikawa-san come alone, right?"

"That's because you're worried about us, too."

"Listen to me." "Actually, part of the reason is that I remembered what my father said, that if you don't have strength, you don't have the qualifications to be a child of the Tsepes family or something. ”

She lifted her head and stared at the ceiling of the aquarium.

"I've made up my mind, and I'll make my thoughts clear to him when I go back."

Arisa took out her phone from her uniform pocket and opened the photo album.

It was in Tokamachi, and they took a group photo on their way to the terraces.

From left to right, Arisa, Hikari, Aoi Hoshikawa, and Mai Shiratori.

In the passenger seat, he showed a head and most of his body.

The vampire girl stroked the screen and looked up into his eyes.

"Because I have experienced so many things with Li Wu, whether it is being involved in the incident of the little demon or seeing the battle between Teraya's classmates and their families, I can give my own answer."

Li Wu asked seriously, "What is it?" ”

"That's it, even if I'm a vampire with scrap wood, I'm still a child of the Zepesh family!"

Although she said something that sounded useless, Arisa puffed up her chest.

"Even if I can't do anything, I still can't control the mood of Li Wu, who is worried about facing danger. Even without the strength of you and Hoshikawa-san, we are still ...... That, friend. ”

Probably not used to saying the word at all, she blushed and whispered out the words.

"That's what Arisa learned from the recent events, it's Daddy's mistake! Family and friendship have nothing to do with whether they have strength or value! ”

She folded her hands and grasped Li Wu's right hand.

Over his shoulder, Hoshikawa Aoi and Hikaru could be seen still happily playing with sharks.

That's right, they are also their precious friends, so they shouldn't disturb everyone's time to have fun, so let's talk about it later.

"So, Airisa's courage is now at the full level, and she can scold her father! This is all thanks to Li Wu! ”

She tilted her head and smiled as she continued the conversation that witnessed the day of the duel between the Teraya siblings.

"What if your dad continues to be tough?"

"Then call classmate Li Wu to help knock him down and reason with him like a classmate from Teraya."

"It's better not to learn from those siblings! And it got me involved! ”

Li Wu complained, "Then again, you say this is part of the reason for impulsiveness, but what about the other part? ”

Arisa let go of her hand, "It's going to take some time to accumulate ...... of courage."

"It's actually slitted and accumulated, and the heart of Arisa is really amazing."

Maybe tired of playing with the shark, Hikari squeezed into the two people who were standing opposite each other, and one of them fluttered and hugged Arisa.

"Xiao Ai, let's also touch the super sticky and disgusting shark skin!"

"No one would want to touch that kind of description!"

Arisa waved her hands and feet and struggled: "Help! Li Wu! ”

She was dragged away by the light.

Li Wu remembered the first time he saw in the class, the girl who was always sitting on a chair or sleeping on a desk, with a [vampire] on her head, which made him quite vigilant for a while.

At that time, Arisa would not have thought of her current situation.

But Arisa must be happier now than she was lonely at that time.

"Don't! Hoshikawa-san, what do you want to do! ”

"Touched it! Touch it! How are you feeling now, how are you feeling? ”

Big, probably.
