Chapter 271 The Uchiha Researcher Who Loves to Observe
"Finally, we can go swimming! I haven't had a proper chance to play these past few days, so today I'm going to have some fun!"
He immediately silenced the phone and jumped back into the water.
The ocean—a mysterious and beautiful place—offers a truly rare and stunning view near uninhabited islands untouched by pollution, with its azure waters.
Look over there, there are some fish that can only be seen in aquariums. And look over there, colorful corals create a beautiful picture on the seabed.
I looked up at the water... Hmm~ This coral is so white, its slender curves seem like a perfect creation of heaven.
Oh my goodness, that's a coral reef. Each coral has two branches that ripple in the water, and its base has a foot-like structure that looks like beautiful jade.
As a model young man with a strong thirst for knowledge, Uchiha Ryo prepares to carefully examine and observe these special corals.
Looking up at the water, which is about five or six meters deep, Uchiha Rin lay quietly on the seabed, gazing at the coral reef above him.
A swarm of white corals surrounds a huge rock. Don't doubt it, that inflatable boat floating on the water is the rock!
In other words, corals are usually associated with rocks and rarely leave their habitat. However, it's clear that this rock is also slowly moving, thanks to the waves.
I swam up slowly and touched the bottom of the coral with my hand.
As expected, it is a soft coral. The moment I held it, its smoothness, like that of fine jade, and its soft touch, like that of a baby's face, impressed the Uchiha researcher!
"ah!"
Upon hearing the sound, Uchiha Ryo once again dived deeper into the depths.
"Eru, what's wrong?" It was Yukinoshita's voice.
Chitanda Eru frowned. "I felt something touch my foot..."
Hayasaka Ai, clinging to the kayak, put on her diving mask and submerged her head in the water. "There's nothing here. It's probably just a fish passing by. This is the ocean; there are bound to be fish here."
Chitanda Eru swam directly to the inflatable boat and climbed on.
The inflatable boat, which has a maximum capacity of five adults, now only has two children on board, along with Hiratsuka Shizuka, who pulled out a fishing rod from somewhere, and Chitanda Eru, who just got on.
"Mr. Hiratsuka, why did you bring your fishing rod? There are quite a few frozen fish in the villa's storage room."
Hiratsuka Shizuka tapped Chitanda's forehead.
"You young people are really something. What do you know? The fun of fishing isn't just about catching fish; it's the process of catching them!"
.....
I just ran to another place to get some fresh air, and here's a fishhook hanging down in the coral area.
There are no fish around here, and even if there were, they all escaped because Uchiha Rin was down there.
"Sigh, it's probably Hiratsuka-sensei's doing. Among those people, only Hiratsuka Shizuka knows how to fish."
However, Uchiha Ryo doubted whether Hiratsuka-sensei, with her fiery temper, could really calm down and fish.
Swimming slowly to the fishing hook, he tugged at the hook with his hand, which was skewered with minced meat.
Looking at the water above, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly widened her eyes.
"As expected of the ocean, fish are biting so quickly!"
I quickly reeled in the line, and suddenly felt a strong pulling force trying to pull the fishing rod down.
"It's definitely a big fish! Hehehe, I may not fish often, but I'm still pretty lucky!"
With a sudden burst of strength, Hiratsuka felt the pulling force from the fishing rod weaken abruptly... The hook was successfully pulled up, but there was no big fish as expected, and even the bait was still on the hook.
The other girls didn't know anything about fishing, but Kaguya Shinomiya frowned and said, "What if it's not a fish?"
"What else could be biting a hook in the sea but a fish? It can't be a person, can it?"
"A person?" Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Chitanda Eru on the inflatable boat. Even if a fish were to pass by, it would only brush against a person's body. However, Chitanda had just used the word "touch" to describe that something had touched her foot.
And then there's Hiratsuka-sensei's fishing this time....
"Maybe it really is a person..."
Suddenly, Shirogane Kei climbed out of the water and onto the inflatable boat. "Um... Yukino-neechan, we're at sea, don't say such scary things, okay?"
Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, "Didn't you notice who's missing among us?"
Are there fewer people? Wait a minute, all the girls are here! As for the boys... Natsume and Ishigami Yu are at the villa taking care of Shirogane Miyuki, while the two cats are on the shore.
"he!!!"
Hayasaka Ai dived directly into the water, but before she could go very deep, Uchiha Rin swam up from the seabed.
"What's wrong? Are you looking for me?"
Chitanda Eru stared at Uchiha Ryo. "Sneaking around isn't good! (Just say it next time!)"
Hayasaka Ai nodded. "Exactly! (They didn't choose me!)"
Yukino Yukinoshita wore an "I knew it" expression. "Ryo-kun, what were you doing just now?"
"Me? I'm diving to observe corals."
Hiratsuka Shizuka gripped the fishing rod tightly. "Are you sure?!"
Uchiha Ryo gave an awkward laugh. "It's alright, Hiratsuka-sensei. There aren't any fish around here anyway, so I'm just saving you some time."
"You little brat..."
Shirasaki Hana suddenly moved close to Hiratsuka-sensei, interrupting the violent teacher who was about to erupt in anger.
"It's a bit cold here, shall we go back?"
Since Xiaohua had said so, the group nodded and swam toward the shore. As for the inflatable boat, they would let Uchiha Rin push it slowly, since it wasn't far anyway.
"No wonder it's gotten colder. It's cloudy again, and the wind has picked up. Is it going to rain?"
Fujiwara Chika complained that she wanted to come to the beach again tomorrow.
There was nothing Uchiha Ryo could do about the weather. The storms a few days ago were due to the resurrection of a powerful demon, which he had dealt with himself. But this time, the clear skies turning cloudy were clearly caused by natural weather patterns.
"Everyone, the waves are coming, please be careful."
Less than 100 meters from the beach, a wave about half a meter high crashed over us. Fortunately, everyone could swim, and no one fell behind.
However, one person noticeably slowed down.
Yukino Yukinoshita, who was swimming in the water, had just finished a 10-minute volleyball match and hadn't had much rest before swimming with everyone. Already lacking in stamina, she felt even more exhausted.
However, swimming back to shore should be no problem, or you can just get on the inflatable boat yourself.
So, Yukino Yukinoshita slowly swam to the vicinity of Ryo Uchiha.
"Ling, please stop for a moment."
"Hmm? What's wrong, Yukino? Are you coming up?"
The inflatable boat only had Hana, Rumi, Chitanda, Shirogane Kei, and Hiratsuka Shizuka. Although it was already the maximum of five people, Hana and Rumi combined probably only weighed as much as an adult.
"Um."
Yukino nodded, but just as she was about to step forward, she was splashed into the water by a wave.
"Yukino, are you alright?"
"I didn't..."
Uchiha Ryo's pupils dilated instantly, revealing a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan beneath the contact lenses provided by the system.
Because Yukino Yukinoshita's white bikini top came off under the violent impact of the waves...
