The heroines want to talk

The lady at the ticket office smiled and introduced: "We are now selling couple tickets, which are lower than the normal price."

"we are not……"

Before the word "couple" was even uttered, Shiyu rushed to reply, "That's great, Naoto-kun."

After she finished speaking, she hugged Xia Shi's arm.

Xia Shi shyly handed over the banknotes, "Then let's have a couple's ticket."

"Okay!" The ticket seller gave the change and a paper ticket.

"Thank you."

After saying thank you, the two walked into the aquarium and headed inside.

Haven't walked a few steps yet.

Xia Shi stopped at a water tank not far from the entrance.

He whispered, "Sardines..."

Shiyu looked at him with a thoughtful expression.

Curious, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think this phenomenon is magical."

Xia Shi explained: "In the sea, perhaps only weak fish will gather together, using the deterrent power of their companions to pretend that they are very powerful..."

"So?" Shiyu looked at the gray-white fish swimming in groups in the tank in front of her.

Waiting for Xia Shi's next words.

"If a predator comes into contact with the sardines, some of them will be eaten, but even so, the sardines in the group are more likely to survive than those alone."

Xia Shi stroked the surface of the tank and a sardine was attracted by him.

His fingers moved in time with the fish's movements.

"Powerful sharks don't travel in groups. They choose to hunt alone." Xia Shi showed a gentle look. "So, I was just thinking, do sharks living alone feel lonely at night in the dark under the sea?"

Shiyu opened her mouth but couldn't answer.

“But I haven’t figured out the answer.”

Xia Shi retracted his finger, looked at her, and said expectantly: "It would be great if the shark could find a companion, maybe a sardine that can communicate with her mind, or maybe a cat. It doesn't matter what the shape or gender is, as long as it can accompany her..."

There was no follow-up after he finished speaking.

"Sorry, I said something weird."

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head, "It's okay."

Xia Shi smiled and said, "Sayuka, let's keep moving forward."

This aquarium has two floors.

In addition to various water tanks, the first floor also has a carousel and a pirate ship.

Xia Shi stood in front of the carousel and said strangely, "Why is there something like this in the aquarium? The boss really put a lot of effort into making money."

There are only a few places to choose from for couples to date.

It seems like they want to earn two salaries with one job.

The lights all around give it a fairytale feel, and the price of 500 yen per ride is not excessive.

“The rides are not horses, but dolphins and sea lions.”

That's quite thoughtful.

Shiyu nodded, "Naoto-kun, let's try it too."

After paying, the two chose two seats close to each other. Xia Shi said, "Sayuka..."

He said as he shyly held out his hand.

Shiyu also cooperated and joined in.

"Is this what holding hands is? Why don't I feel anything at all?"

She thought her heart would race, but now it was unexpectedly calm.

It turns out that fake couples will not have that kind of feeling.

Xia Shi also had no idea.

He actually prefers small hands like Eriri's, which he can hold tightly.

Senior Kasumigaoka's hands are not only bigger than Eriri's, but also much colder.

Xia Shi: “…”

I always feel like I'm a pervert for seriously reviewing the feel of a product.

As melodious music sounded and beautiful lights shone, the carousel began to turn.

The two of them held hands calmly until the music stopped.

After finishing, the two sat on the seats next to each other.

Shiyu spoke first: "Naoto-kun, I didn't feel any excitement when I held your hand just now. Tell me, do you think I don't love you anymore?"

Xia Shi complained: "Is Sayuka such a superficial woman? I really saw it wrongly."

"Ah, no, I just can't be attracted to my junior who plays the role of Naoto." Shiyu said with a smile.

"I can't understand Sayuka's feelings towards my junior. It seems that this date will end in failure."

Xia Shi thought: "As for whether or not you can be moved, just holding hands is useless."

He introduced: "I have another better test method."

"What method? Can your junior brother's ape-man brain come up with something useful? It's really strange." Shiyu said jokingly.

'Ape-man?'

This was the first time Xia Shi was described like this.

He didn't care and continued, "Senior Kasumigaoka, have you ever heard of the eye contact test?"

Chapter 50 Jellyfish and Dolphins

Legend has it that if a man and a woman look at each other for more than ten seconds, they will fall in love.

This is certainly not a 100% successful method, but it is useful to test whether you are falling in love.

After Xia Shi finished explaining, he said, "...That's pretty much the principle, Kasumigaoka-senpai, let's start looking at each other now!"

Shi Yu didn't quite believe this statement. She looked into the other person's eyes and said, "Although I think this method is useless, it doesn't hurt to give it a try."

Xia Shi also turned his gaze to her.

The staring begins.

Everything was fine just now.

But once you put all your attention in the other person's eyes.

The sounds around seemed to disappear at this moment.

Only the other person's faint breathing sound remained.

1 second……

3 second……

5 second……

Shiyu subconsciously wanted to look away, but her self-esteem did not allow her to do so.

Xia Shi also wanted to look away, he felt that the current situation was a bit awkward.

7 second……

It's like torture.

8 second……

Xia Shi and Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

9 second……

Xia Shi's cheek tilted forward slightly.

Shiyu was gradually attracted to him.

10 second……

They both turned their heads at the same time.

Shi Yu blushed slightly and pretended to be calm: "It's just... normal, I... don't feel anything at all."

Xia Shi agreed: "Yes, this theory is indeed false."

Then there was silence for a few seconds.

Finally, Xia Shi stood up.

"Let's go somewhere else."

Shiyu stood up and said, "Yeah."

----

The two walked through the cafe next to the amusement area.

Came to the floating jellyfish area.

Under the light of pale blue, there are countless jellyfish leaping in the cylindrical water tank.

Xia Shi read the sign, "Egg yolk jellyfish?"

The name is very appropriate, these swimming guys look like fried eggs.

There is also a very small and cute jellyfish next to it, its name is Moon Jellyfish, and there is a four-leaf clover pattern on its body.

Shiyu was also attracted by the jellyfish and forgot the embarrassment just now.

She murmured softly, "So beautiful."

Xia Shi walked up to her and looked at the introduction sign, "Tumor-hand jellyfish."

It has long tentacles, a transparent body, and is also known as the diamond jellyfish.

Xia Shi was looking for a topic to talk about. "Jellyfish cannot move quickly. They can only rely on the weak power of their cavities to move. They can only float with the ocean currents throughout their lives and cannot control their own destiny."

Shiyu thought, "They are quite pitiful then."

"It's not that bad." Xia Shi said, "Jellyfish don't have thoughts. Maybe they are actually very happy. They don't have to do anything. They just swallow some plankton every day. They are much more comfortable than us humans."

He actually wanted to be a jellyfish, doing nothing and lying down every day.

Wait! Isn't this my current state?

Except for the special situation this week, he sometimes doesn't even go to school at other times. Even if he goes to school, he just slacks off. After school, he runs to the light music club to eat and drink for free, and then goes home to cheat otakus of their money.

'It's so nice to lie flat!'

Xia Shi was once again proud of her choice to debut as a virtual idol.

Shiyu saw him in a daze and waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Naoto-kun, what are you thinking about? You are not qualified to be a boyfriend if you put your girlfriend aside."

Natsumi came back to his senses, "Ah, sorry, Sayuka!"

He said apologetically, "I didn't mean to do that."

Shiyu nodded in satisfaction, "It's good that Naoto-kun knows he's wrong!"

At this moment, the broadcast happened to come.

[Dear tourists, the dolphin show is about to begin. Tourists who want to watch the dolphin show can enter now...]
