Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2273 - 1015: Love Strategy! (Part 2)
So difficult!
"San Miyairi might be on the brink of life and death right now, so let’s not waste time!"
Gu Qingqiu crouched down and started brainstorming.
"I think that girl’s profession should be a beach lifeguard, and even if she’s not, we can take this chance to test her character!"
"Red Medicine, you go swim in the sea and then pretend to drown, wait for her to save you."
"During this process, try to exhaust some of that girl’s stamina, and preferably let her experience the despair of drowning."
"Schoolmate, when the time is right, you swim over to rescue her."
This plan is not bad.
When the girl is desperate and feels like she’s going to die, Lin Baici’s timely appearance and offer of help can definitely greatly enhance her impression of him.
"Can Red Medicine do it?"
Lin Baici worried about the ponytailed girl’s acting skills.
"Isn’t it just pretending to drown? I can do it!"
Xia Hongyao pounded her chest in assurance.
Lin Baici frowned, thinking, with your size, you could be used as a life buoy, you probably can’t even sink, right?
Gu Qingqiu thought for a moment: "Forget it, I’ll do it instead!"
With ponytail’s intelligence at level D, if there’s a flaw revealed, it could really offend that girl.
The four of them discussed for a few minutes, refined the details, and began to act.
Gu Qingqiu pulled out a long men’s crocodile leather wallet, opened it, and took out a few swimsuits.
This was a space forbidden item, originally belonged to Hoffman, now it’s Gu Qingqiu’s trophy.
"Change into them!"
Gu Qingqiu didn’t avoid Lin Baici and directly started undressing.
Lin Baici was a bit startled and quickly turned around, his back facing his schoolmate.
"Still looking?"
Xia Hongyao kicked Yi Jisheng.
Yi Jisheng felt unjustly accused, humans to it were just like lizard-like bugs, it had no interest in them whatsoever, it was the dolls that really stirred its affection.
Soon, the four of them changed into swimwear.
Gu Qingqiu wore an orange swimsuit with ruffles at the waist, quite conservative, while Xia Hongyao, although wearing a two-piece swimsuit, also went for a conservative style, but her size made it hard for the suit to contain her.
The swimsuit size was wrong, squeezing Xiong Da inside, it might suffocate at any moment.
Lin Baici and Yi Jisheng simply wore a pair of beach shorts and were done.
Gu Qingqiu and Xia Hongyao chatted while walking toward the beach, pretending to be foreign tourists.
Lin Baici wandered around alone, while Yi Jisheng stayed on standby.
The four couldn’t all show their faces; if something dirty needed doing, someone the girl hadn’t seen would have to act.
Goto Mariko, playing with her phone on the lounge chair, saw the three of them, particularly Gu Qingqiu and Xia Hongyao who were close to the shore, and she watched them a bit more.
Gu Qingqiu deliberately played in the seawater on the beach for a while, letting the girl know she was there, before the plan began.
There were some small cabins by the beach selling snacks like takoyaki, renting out sun umbrellas and swim rings, as well as convenient stores.
After Xia Hongyao left, Gu Qingqiu started swimming in the sea.
Xia Hongyao browsed around those cabins, didn’t see anyone, and then according to the plan, went to find the girl.
"Hello, can you understand Kyushu dialect? I heard Dongying’s ramune is very famous, I want to buy a few bottles to try!"
Xia Hongyao shielded her forehead with her hand: "Why aren’t those shops open?"
"Hello!"
Goto Mariko stood up: "The summer vacation is over, so no one comes here anymore, naturally the shops are closed!"
Those who came here to play were students, and since school begins tomorrow, naturally no one’s here.
Today was also Goto Mariko’s last day coming to work.
"Oh!"
Xia Hongyao showed a regretful expression.
The Sakura girl spoke in Kyushu dialect, though not perfect and with a Dongying accent, it didn’t impede communication.
"本当にすみません!"
Goto Mariko bowed in apology.
"Thank you!"
Xia Hongyao thanked her, walked toward the beach, and after a dozen steps, stopped and looked out to sea.
"Time to show a tense expression!"
Xia Hongyao reminded herself while tiptoeing, showing a look of searching for someone but finding no one.
Goto Mariko was shocked as she examined the bear of this Kyushu woman. She was wondering what she needed to eat to grow that big when she noticed the woman looking around as if searching for something?
"Are you looking for your friend?"
Goto Mariko looked toward the sea!
Huh?
Where did the girl with the noble air, obviously a young lady, go?
She’s gone?
Could she have swum out far?
Goto Mariko immediately jumped onto a lounge chair and took the binoculars hanging around her neck to look out to sea.
Her eyesight was quite good. After about half a minute, she saw the girl.
"Come back quickly!"
Goto Mariko shouted while grabbing a swim ring and ran toward the ocean.
Xia Hongyao immediately followed.
The girl had swum very far, already in the deep water, but it seemed she heard her voice and looked back.
Then the girl started swimming back, but suddenly her body struggled a few times and began to sink.
A few seconds later, she floated up again, but soon sank once more.
"She’s cramping!"
Goto Mariko panicked. She was a compassionate girl, and without Xia Hongyao needing to call for help, she shouted to Xia Hongyao and rushed into the sea.
As she sprinted, she vigorously kicked off her flip-flops and charged into the water over the damp sand.
Due to carrying a swim ring, she couldn’t paddle with all her strength, slowing her speed.
Seeing the young lady about to drown, Goto Mariko decisively discarded the swim ring and swam toward her with all her might.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The seawater splashed on her face, carrying the warmth of the sun!
Getting closer, Goto Mariko saw the young lady’s frantic struggle, her face full of panic.
"Don’t be afraid!"
Goto Mariko sped up again and dived beside Gu Qingqiu, like an agile tuna, deftly turned around, reaching Gu Qingqiu’s back to hold her arms from behind.
If she grabbed her hand directly, Goto Mariko feared the other would cling to her, preventing her from swimming and making them sink together.
Though Gu Qingqiu appeared panicked, she was calm inside. Realizing Goto Mariko’s intention, she pretended to struggle randomly, adjusted her direction, and suddenly grabbed Goto Mariko’s right leg, dragging her down.
"Don’t panic, relax!"
Goto Mariko shouted but immediately swallowed a mouthful of seawater.
It must be said that Gu Qingqiu’s acting was fantastic, pulling Goto Mariko under and making her choke while appearing to struggle intermittently.
Having swum fast earlier and wasted energy, now exhausted by Gu Qingqiu’s actions, Goto Mariko quickly tired.
Her intuition told her things were bad.
Suddenly anxious, Goto Mariko instinctively glanced at the shore.
Usually, there were several beach lifeguards, but today being the last day before school started, almost no one would come to play, so they hadn’t come.
When Goto Mariko was about to despair, she saw a fit young man sprinting across the beach, diving headfirst into the sea.
Goto Mariko’s last thought before drowning was how fast that guy ran, like the East Sea Emperor on the racetrack!
...
When Goto Mariko woke up, she found herself lying on a beach chair.
A sun umbrella sheltered her from the afternoon sunlight.
"You’re awake?"
Gu Qingqiu beside her looked overjoyed, clasping her hands together and continually apologizing: "I’m sorry for the trouble."
"Are you okay?"
Goto Mariko smiled slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, knowing she hadn’t rescued anyone.
"I’m fine!"
Gu Qingqiu smiled, "Thank you for rescuing me!"
Goto Mariko awkwardly smiled back and then turned her head, looking for that young man. There was no need to ask, he must have been the one who saved her.
But Goto Mariko didn’t see anyone!
"Are you looking for Lin Baici?"
Gu Qingqiu wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to introduce Lin Baici: "Oh, the guy who saved us just now. He left!"
"Left?"
Goto Mariko immediately sat up, wanting to express her gratitude to him.
