(Recap) You(Satoru) and Suguru are set on a mission to protect the New Star Plasma Vessel, Riko. To bring her to Tengen safely. It is currently the second escort day, and since you have nothing else to do, you go on a plane to the beach with Suguru, Riko and Kuroi!

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

You and Riko laugh and giggle around while running and splashing each other in the salty water of the ocean, the water only reaching your ankles. While Suguru and Kuroi talk to each other, you pick up a sea cucumber and show it to Riko, both of you bursting out laughing while holding the slimy creature. You shout, giggling at the thing

"BWAHAHAH! SEA CUCUMBER!!"

Riko joins in the disgust, even though she's laughing (probably making fun of the sea cucumber)

"GROSSSS! IT'S SO GROSS, BAHAHAH!"

Suguru looks over to Kuroi then back to Riko and you.

"Is it good to go sightseeing?"

He asks, sounding unsure, while Kuroi just shrugs. Riko and you were currently running around in the water chasing each other with a sea cucumber in the background.

"It was Satoru's idea."

"Hm, true."

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: .✦ . :★. ───✧

You leave the water, your feet hitting the warm sand as Riko sits in the water, (after she tripped and you laughed at her) still clutching onto her hat. Suguru walks up to you, and takes you near the shady trees, and where no one can hear your conversation.

"Satoru. You've been using your technique nonstop since yesterday, haven't you? And what about sleep? You were planning on staying awake all night again, right?"

You scoff, putting a fist over his collarbone.

"I'm good, man. I think playing 99 years of Momotaru Denetsu is harder. Besides.."

"You're here too."
