The morning sun attempts to pierce the sea, but is blocked by the crystalline waters, steadfastly remaining on the surface, forming a dazzling stream of light.

In the icy sea, Phoenix Academy Maggie looks upwards, her surroundings blissfully silent.

Thanks to the Holy Grail's purification, she stays in Tokyo Bay without needing goggles, directly contacting the seawater.

This allows her to feel the refreshing sensation as the water touches her eyeballs, and her fair legs transform into fish tails, swaying gently.

Phoenix Academy Maggie, facing upwards from the sea floor, gradually swims deeper into the ocean.

Golden hair floats behind her.

She watches as the light stream grows distant, the sound retreating from her ears, yet she feels no oppressive fear.

With just a turn of her head, Phoenix Academy Maggie can see Aozawa swimming beside her.

He's wearing floral swimming trunks, reaching to his knees, his upper body's muscular lines clearly visible.

Phoenix Academy Maggie lifts her gaze.

Only to meet a pair of smiling eyes.

Phoenix Academy Maggie's face turns slightly red, even the seawater cannot conceal the rising heat on her face. With a swift kick, she dives downward like a mermaid.

Aozawa watches her shyly swim away, not lingering, swiftly diving down to showcase his speed.

He catches up, lightly taps Phoenix Academy Maggie's shoulder, and swiftly circles from her back to her front.

As if by accident.

Aozawa's elbow 'accidentally' touches the butterfly on Phoenix Academy Maggie's chest, visibly distorting its perfect shape.

Not giving Phoenix Academy Maggie time to retaliate, he quickly darts away, sprinting to Arakawa Reina and tapping her jade-like thigh.

The tap makes Arakawa Reina's right leg tremble, almost causing an electric-like cramping sensation.

Thankfully she's underwater, wearing a swimsuit.

No matter how wet she is, she won't reveal anything to Aozawa.

Arakawa Reina follows Aozawa's pointing direction, noticing a beautiful coral below.

She nods, and swims toward that direction.

A stunning school of fish swim past her eyes.

The improving marine environment has brought back a group of locals.

A massive sea turtle swims leisurely. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Phoenix Academy Maggie suppresses her pounding heart, showing a curious expression, gripping the turtle's shell, startling the turtle into retreat.

She glances at Aozawa and promptly tosses the turtle, kicking its shell, treating it like a soccer ball toward Aozawa.

Light seems finally triumphant, entering the sea, twisting shapes amid the rippling waves.

Aozawa sees the turtle darting toward him, spins, kicking the turtle back.

Sea turtle:?

You guys are really terrible.

The turtle is powerless to resist.

Their game disrupts the sea floor's tranquility, wreaking havoc among the locals, nearly flipping the coral to rearrange it.

Thanks to their physical prowess, they don't need oxygen tanks or diving gear, freely moving underwater.

Their formidable lung capacity permits them to play for about half an hour.

Phoenix Academy Maggie reluctantly starts swimming up.

The seabed is simply too fun.

The clear water seems to soothe all bodily irritations.

Especially while frolicking with Aozawa, it feels like the entire world is just the two of them.

Morimoto Chiyoda, Ayatsuki Ayaka, they seem nonexistent.

Maybe next time, invite Aozawa to Okinawa for diving.

Phoenix Academy Maggie surfaces.

Her blonde hair clings to her cheeks, she tilts her head, gazing at the azure sky, the unpleasantness from breakfast dissipating far away.

The breeze over the sea brings waves of coolness.

"Aozawa, the seabed is really interesting."

She turns back, water flows along her doll-like porcelain face, her smiling lips seemingly unstoppable even by AKs.

The wind above blows the clouds.

Even the sunlight becomes exceptionally gentle in this moment.

Aozawa sees her smiling face, too, showing a genuine smile and says, "If you want to play, we can dive again, this much time isn't my limit."

"Forget it, let's go up, eat a bit, then tour the aquarium, finally ride the Ferris wheel."

Phoenix Academy Maggie is tempted, but considering the plans ahead, decides to decline.

Time is limited.

She needs to plan the activities well, can't just dive all day at Kasai Rinkai Park.

If they don't visit the aquarium, it's like coming here for nothing.

Aozawa doesn't care much for the aquarium fish, but he likes seeing the happy expression of Phoenix Academy Maggie.

Since she wants to see, they'll go watch.

He nods, using Will-o'-the-wisp to fix his image in Phoenix Academy Maggie's eyes, then turns to Arakawa Reina beside him, saying: "Class rep, I've swum enough, how about we go up, to the aquarium for a look?"

"Sure."

Arakawa Reina nods heavily.

The slightly curled black hair, under the sea's influence, clings to her cheeks, neck, seemingly from swimming too fast earlier.

The bikini's position is somewhat shifted.

Yet Arakawa Reina pretends not to notice, stirring up an eye-catching cherry blossom hue.

Aozawa Makoto could hardly withstand this déjà vu of what's partially seen, wanting to pull the swimsuit aside to see clearly.

But now isn't the time.

Aozawa glances at Phoenix Academy Maggie's back.

He forms a harem based on love, not mere desire.

He has principles and morals.

The first rule being not using Will-o'-the-wisp to simultaneously date and cheat on someone.

That's not right.

...

Joyful times always pass quickly.

The date comes to an end.

The location is Japan's tallest Ferris wheel.
