As he was thrown to the sea, Tsukasa wrapped his hand around Julie since this girl couldn’t swim.

Julie also subconsciously hugged him without letting him go.

If it was in the past, his body would be broken when he was hugged by Julie since the power that came from Level III Exceed wasn’t a joke.

Luckily, Tsukasa had become stronger.

The two fell into the sea smoothly before they came out to the surface, taking a breath.

“Cough! Cough!”

Julie, who was weak from the heat and seasickness, coughed hard without letting him go.

“Calm down, Julie. I won’t let you drown no matter what, so can you not hug me so tightly? It’s hard for me to swim.”

While Tsukasa wanted to pat her back, he felt it was impossible since Julie almost wrapped his body like a snake.

If he wanted to, he could float and move to the island in the air without touching the water, but that would make the seaside class lose its meaning, and it also wasn’t fun.

While Julie’s body might not be as good as Tomoe, Miyabi, Lilith, or even Rito’s, her petite body was still soft, and it was nice being hugged by her.

“Ja.” Julie calmed down by having him by her side and slightly loosened her hands, feeling his hand around her waist, which made her blush, but then she realized what she had done and apologized. “Sorry, Tsukasa.” She couldn’t swim and knew that she had to trouble him.

“It’s alright. You don’t need to apologize. We’re a Duo, right? So don’t act like a stranger to me, especially when we have done many of…”

Before he finished his words, Julie was embarrassed and hugged his neck tighter. “Tsukasa!”

“I can’t breathe, Julie! I can’t breathe!”

While they were arguing with each other, the rest of the students swam toward the island.

Tsukasa had told Miyabi and Tomoe to leave them behind since he wanted to teach Julie how to swim.

While doing it in the middle of the sea might seem too much, Tsukasa didn’t think so.

Even lions throw their cubs off a cliff.

While Tsukasa wasn’t the one who threw Julie to the sea, he wanted to toughen her up, considering she might fight in the water in the future. If she couldn’t swim, he was afraid she might get hurt.

‘Still, if she can step in the air, it’ll be a different matter.’

Tsukasa knew it would be easy for Julie to become Level IV since, after his training, her physical ability and mentality were better than most Level III. There was even another power inside her body. While he wasn’t sure what kind of power it was, he felt it was better for her not to use it since he felt this power was dangerous.

However, Tsukasa was also curious and thought to ask her about this matter later.

“Hold my hands and kick your feet.”

“Ja.”

Julie didn’t ask much why they would do swimming practice in the middle of the sea, but it felt great since she could monopolize him this way.

Tsukasa could create a life jacket with his Blaze, but he didn’t do so since that way, it was impossible to enjoy this moment together since he had a feeling he would leave soon.

The two kept swimming together until suddenly they heard the sound of a rotating motor which made them subconsciously raise their heads.

“Tsukasa!”

Lilith was there, standing right in the passenger area of the helicopter, wearing a bright and bold red bikini before she jumped in their direction!

“…” Julie and Tsukasa.

*Splash!*

Luckily, Lilith didn’t jump right to the top of them and jumped into the nearby sea before she swam to Tsukasa and kissed his lips.

“….” Julie.

“Tsukasa is my Duo!”

“Oh, really? But I have gotten permission to become a Trio with the two of you!” Lilith announced a big matter in a simple manner.

“…” Julie and Tsukasa were at a loss for words.

“So as your Trio, we’ll be together from now on. Please take care of me, alright?” Lilith said with a smile.

“…How?” Tsukasa asked.

“How? Isn’t that obvious? There’s nothing that I can’t do.” Lilith raised her chest proudly and said, “You should know my family is one of the shareholders of the Dawn Organization. So as long as I want to, there’s nothing impossible.”

“…..”

“Tsukasa….” Julie looked at Tsukasa, and her expression was quite mixed since she didn’t expect Lilith would join them so suddenly. She wasn’t prepared, and she didn’t know how to handle this situation.

“Julie, I can’t say much in this situation since if what she has said is right, it is the decision above, so there’s nothing we can do,” Tsukasa said with a sigh, thinking the power and the authority of this rich girl were amazing.

“That’s right!” Lilith nodded with a smile, feeling happy Tsukasa could accept her.

“Anyway, let’s focus on getting to the island now.”

Everyone had already left them behind since Tsukasa was taking it easy.

Julie nodded and decided to leave this matter aside. Also, she didn’t really hate Lilith, and she didn’t need to part from Tsukasa, so besides feeling startled and unsure, she didn’t really have much rejection if the three of them became Trio, considering how the three of them often trained to each other.

Lilith was also a good girl, but she was slightly aggressive.

Overall, Julie was okay with Lilith.

“Tsukasa, I am too lazy to swim. Can you use your ability or create something to go to the island?” Lilith asked coquettishly while hugging his neck intimately.

“…..”

Julie stared at Lilith for a moment and also mimicked what Lilith did.

However, unlike Lilith’s well-developed boobs, Tsukasa could only feel the hardness of Julie’s ribs.

Still, Tsukasa wouldn’t say it out loud and decided to go to the island quickly.

Summoning his Blaze, the black cube with several red marks transformed into a luxurious yacht.

“Is this enough?” Tsukasa asked.

“……”

Lilith and Julie looked at this luxurious yacht in a daze, thinking that his Blaze was really amazing. As long as he understood the mechanism and materials, he could make anything with his Blaze. They might have heard it in his mouth, but it was their first time creating something so huge.

“By the way, Tsukasa.”

“Yes?”

Tsukasa looked at Lillith, who seemed shy, but he could tell she wanted to ask him something.

“Can you turn your blaze into The Black Pearl?” Lilith asked shyly.

“…..”

Tsukasa believed if there was a One Piece, this girl might shout to him to create a Going Merry or Thousand Sunny while shouting she wanted to become a “One Piece.”

However…

“Can.”

“Really?!” Lilith’s eyes were shining brightly.

Tsukasa slowly changed the luxurious yacht into an old pirate ship which made the eyes of Julie and Lilith shine brightly.

Lilith also summoned her rifle and rested it on her shoulder. “Okay, let’s rob that island!”

“……”

Looking at her third-rate acting still, Tsukasa thought this girl must be a chuunibyou, but he didn’t really hate it.

However, was it his imagination, but Julie seemed to take off her panties secretly.

Watching Julie, who walked to the back area of the ship while holding her panties, Tsukasa looked forward and thought the summer had begun.

‘Hmm… is it only me or her panties blown away?’

“Tsukasa, my panties…” Julie said dejectedly.

“…….”

Anyway, the summer had begun!
