While Dubian Che was listening to Mrs. Jiutiao's yacht lessons, he checked the event details.

As always, it either challenged Dubian Che's moral bottom line or was almost impossible to complete.

This time was better than previous tasks, with Jiutiao Meijie there, barely picking up a low-grade gift package.

[Due to the player's extremely low enthusiasm for the game, the quality of rewards has been upgraded]

[The following reward information is now publicly available:]

["Gift of the Sea +3": Choose one type of sea creature transformation ability, a state-of-the-art yacht *1, twenty billion yen]

"..."

"Too difficult?"

"No, I've got it."

"It's easy, right? On the open sea, you can drive any way you want."

"..."

"What's wrong, zoning out?" Mrs. Jiutiao's hand slapped Dubian Che's shoulder, "Plotting something sneaky? After the boat leaves the harbor, are you planning to do things you can't do onshore?"

"Yeah, like swimming with you." Dubian Che took a sip from his cup, the juice with ice cubes bringing a slight chill to his body.

"Not swimming! Be honest!"

"I was wondering what the future state-of-the-art yacht would be like."

"That?" Mrs. Kiyono asked in surprise, her elbow on the front window, pulling her gaze from the view over Tokyo Bay, looking back at Dubian Che.

"Additionally, I was considering, if I could transform into a sea creature, what would be good. What would you two aunts like to become?"

"Mosasaurus, said to be the tyrant of the sea, the ocean's overlord," Mrs. Jiutiao said.

"Too ugly, jellyfish are best, transparent, some even glow, I can't think of anything more beautiful," Mrs. Kiyono said.

"I'd eat ten thousand of you in one bite," Mrs. Jiutiao joked.

"Then I'd still be pretty," said Mrs. Kiyono nonchalantly. "What about you, Mr. Dubian? What would you want to become?"

"A giant octopus?" Dubian Che, hands on the yacht's steering wheel, replied, "The kind that could easily flip over a million-ton tanker."

"That's a myth."

"What you mentioned about Mosasaurus, it's an extinct creature too."

"At least it did exist."

"Who knows, maybe there are such octopuses in the deep sea?"

While the three were chatting, Kiyono Lin came up from the lower deck.

Unlike the swimsuit Dubian Che had imagined, she was just in a white dress and wearing a sun hat she got last Christmas.

She sat on the sofa behind them, picking up a book to read.

"Lin," Mrs. Kiyono went over, took the book from her hands, grabbed her slender wrist, "Stop reading on a trip, let's go to the deck for some sea breeze."

"35 degrees, UV index level five." Kiyono Lin didn't struggle, just calmly said that.

"Hmm—" Mrs. Kiyono let go of her wrist, "Should we apply sunscreen first?"

"Wait until we leave Tokyo Bay. Why go out now and become a tourist attraction?" Kiyono Lin gestured with her hands.

Mrs. Kiyono returned the book to her, helplessly exchanged a look with Jiutiao Zhenji.

"The yacht is yours to command, captain," Mrs. Jiutiao patted Dubian Che's shoulder and joined Mrs. Kiyono at the stern.

On the sofa by the cabin, Kiyono Lin resumed reading her book.

Dubian Che steadied the steering wheel and looked back; the book title was "Blue Planet II."

"Kiyono," he said, "If you could become a sea creature, what would you like to turn into?"

"Asking such a question, do you have a way to turn into sea creatures?" Kiyono Lin still had her eyes on her book.

"If possible, I'd want to become a space creature."

"Ultraman?"

"Ah, right, exactly that. By then, I'd stand above Tokyo Bay, watching over Tokyo like a God. Cool?"

"Tokyo Bay is 12 meters deep, Ultraman is 50 meters tall, only 38 meters would show, not even as tall as a regular building, can't look down on Tokyo."

"Can't you be less realistic?"

"Becoming a sea creature..." Kiyono Lin suddenly paused, then lifted her head, looking at Dubian Che, "You've transformed into a cat before, so there really is a way?"

"It depends if you'd let me hug you."

"Would you?"

"Depends if your mother would let me."

"You might as well think about how to become a space creature." Kiyono Lin shifted her gaze back and continued reading "Blue Planet II."

"That's what I thought too," Dubian Che sounded the ship's horn.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the yacht stirred up white waves, heading for the mouth of Tokyo Bay.

After leaving the harbor, choosing a directed route, Dubian Che left the helm.

He walked to Kiyono Lin's side, took the book: "Stop reading, let's go."

"Give it back," Kiyono Lin stared coldly at him.

"How about fishing? We might catch a tuna."

"Sea fishing isn't that easy, it's not rare to not catch even one fish in a day, but catching a tuna if there are any wouldn't be surprising, only yellowfin tunas though."

"Yellowfin?" Dubian Che took a forget-me-not from the vase, tucked it at the page Kiyono Lin was reading.

Setting the book on the bar, they walked to the stern.

"The usual we eat is bluefin tuna, by comparison, yellowfin is more abundant, not as good in taste."
