The last day of the school trip was also the most relaxed—students were free to do as they pleased.
At this moment, Suzuki Yuu stood on the beach, wearing only a pair of swim trunks that revealed his well-defined muscles.
His mind drifted back to the new content added by the system after he renewed his contract with Shiina Chisa yesterday.
[Detection: Bound Target Confirmed: Shiina Chisa (Aoyama Saint Academy First Year Honor Student)]
[Detected: Host currently has emotional links with two females. If the same skill is shared, skill learning efficiency is doubled.]
[Additionally, the system reminds the host: Please treat each girl sincerely, or you may court disaster.]
Seeing the skill efficiency would be doubled, Suzuki Yuu was clearly stunned.
It could work like this?
He had always thought this system could only bind to one girl at a time, but now it seemed there was no limit?
And what did that last warning mean… court disaster?
Uh, come to think of it, he might’ve experienced that once already.
At that, he shook his head and focused his attention on the skill list.
He already knew from before that Shiina Chisa had many skills, so he quickly filtered out some that he would never bother learning, such as archery, tea ceremony, and a few high-end sports.
Since this young lady had already started participating in some of her family’s affairs at a young age, the skill list naturally included data analysis, economics, and some programming languages.
For Suzuki Yuu, these practical skills were quite attractive.
He planned to reorganize his study goals once he got back.
But at the same time, he noticed something unusual.
“Wait, what does this ‘master-level chemistry’ mean… and pharmacy? These weren’t here before.”
Suzuki Yuu’s expression was one of confusion. He didn’t recall seeing these skills before.
Could it be that Chisa learned them recently? That didn’t make sense, though—even the most talented person couldn’t reach master level in such a short time.
Recalling what he’d learned from his senpai, he realized that maybe the system had just unsealed something it previously concealed.
But why? What mechanism had unlocked these?
Was it Chisa’s feelings for him? No… that couldn’t be. If that were the case, he would’ve seen it already when he was locked up.
Suzuki Yuu shook his head, pondering hard, but still couldn’t figure out the answer.
Just then, sunlight shone straight down on him, making him squint and raise his hand to shield his eyes.
“The weather is wonderful today.” Shiina Chisa spoke up beside him.
The young lady’s body had completely recovered, and she seemed to be in good spirits.
At the moment, the girl wore a pure white one-piece swimsuit, the fabric minimal but perfectly outlining her graceful curves. Over it, she loosely draped a sheer, gauzy sun shirt, making her look almost elfin.
Suzuki Yuu was pulled out of his thoughts by her gentle tone. He turned his head, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before he awkwardly looked away.
“Yeah, it’s really comfortable.” He replied, then looked out at the endless ocean.
Not far from them on the beach, a group of girls were chasing each other, splashing cold seawater at one another, their shrieks and laughter echoing nonstop.
The scene was pleasant to watch, though elsewhere there was a very different scene.
He spotted Tanaka and the others acting like wild horses off their reins, shouting nonsensical things as they dashed shirtless into the deep blue sea, sending up great sprays of white foam.
The entire beach felt like a giant party, brimming with unrestrained energy and excitement.
Of course, where he and Chisa were, it was very quiet, with only the wind and the sound of the waves.
“Yuu, aren’t you going to join them? I thought you were on good terms with most of them,” Shiina Chisa seemed to enjoy the tranquility. She drew her knees up and rested her chin lightly atop them, tilting her head to look at Suzuki Yuu.
“No, I’m fine just watching.” Suzuki Yuu shook his head. If he joined that bunch, it would inevitably end with them ganging up on him.
Just then, an energetic voice drew closer, landing like a little cannonball right in their peaceful zone.
“Junior! So you really are okay! Why are you hiding here slacking off—come take a picture with me!”
Hasegawa Aoi appeared, and Suzuki Yuu noticed she was holding a camera.
“This is bad…”
He instantly recalled what she’d said in the clubroom before.
She really had brought a high-magnification camera.
Thinking of this, Suzuki Yuu quickly turned and ran, leaving Shiina Chisa momentarily stunned.
“Eh, hey! Don’t run away!” Hasegawa Aoi shouted, starting to chase after him.
But she’d barely started when she suddenly slipped and fell.
The camera rolled naturally to Shiina Chisa’s feet.
She picked it up and found it was filled with photos of Suzuki Yuu.
Almost all were candid shots of the boy’s physique, taken just now.
The image quality was extremely clear, and the angles were downright sneaky.
Shiina Chisa found herself rather mesmerized by them.
Just then, Hasegawa Aoi sat up, rubbing her sore knee, then frantically searched for her camera.
Seeing Shiina Chisa holding it, her face instantly turned red and she rushed over to snatch it back.
“D-Don’t look!”
Even though she was always making lewd jokes with Suzuki Yuu, she didn’t want her image to fall apart in front of others.
But to her surprise, the usually aloof Shiina underclassman suddenly said:
“How much for a copy of those photos?”
Suzuki Yuu didn’t know how long he’d been running, but he gradually came to a stop. Glancing behind him and confirming Hasegawa Aoi hadn’t caught up, he let out a small sigh of relief.
“That perverted senpai really is a headache…”
Thinking so, he turned to continue on his way.
But the moment he took a step forward, he nearly bumped into a figure who had somehow appeared before him. Startled, he stumbled and fell to the sand.
Looking up, he saw it was Jinguu Amane.
This time, the senpai wasn’t wearing her student council uniform, but a white wide-brimmed hat and a minimalist white bikini, paired with a gauzy wrap skirt.
Suzuki Yuu looked at her face, then couldn’t help but let his gaze slip downward—her figure was just too captivating…
The president noticed his reaction, a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she spoke in a subtly flirtatious tone:
“Suzuki-kun, do you like what you see?”
