Sunset at Dusk, the Evening Glow Drunk on Twilight.

He also buried his head in Wu Tong's chest.

Holding Marikawa Shizuka's fragrant, boneless body in his arms, Wu Tong first chuckled, patted her head, and then said with a smile:

"Can't remember? No problem!"

"Since they chose to have you inform me, it probably isn't anything important."

"In that case, there's no need to rush. Let's think about it slowly."

"As for now, come on, lie down with your husband for a while and enjoy the scenery!"

After saying that, Wu Tong held Marikawa Shizuka, who was still deep in thought, in his arms, and stopped talking. Instead, he calmly began to appreciate the sea view.

By this time, it was nearing dusk, and the bright yellow sun had gradually touched the horizon, casting down countless Golden Light.

The ocean, which has always been known for its mystery, was instantly painted with a mysterious and dazzling color when illuminated by the sunlight.

As the sun gradually set, the clouds on the horizon seemed to be ignited by golden flames, transitioning from golden yellow to crimson, and then to purplish-red, like a natural painting.

The vast sea shimmered in the afterglow, as if it were covered with golden scales.

A gentle breeze caressed the shore, and the waves surged slowly, lapping against the boats with a deep, rhythmic "thump-thump," as if telling an ancient and melodious story.

Everything seemed to be the ocean, explaining to the world its unique "beauty".

Holding Marikawa Shizuka in his arms, Wu Tong gazed at the breathtaking sunset scene before him, a masterpiece sculpted by nature itself, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"The setting sun at dusk, the evening glow intoxicating."

"I never imagined that the sea would be so beautiful at dusk."

"If I had known that floating on the sea would be so enjoyable, I wouldn't have stayed at the Academy doing nothing. It would have been so much better if I had come here!"

"Not only can I openly slack off, but I can also enjoy such beautiful scenery. More importantly, I have beautiful women to keep me company?!"

"What a blunder! What a blunder!"

As time passed by, Wu Tong gradually became immersed in this long-lost and wonderful life.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Well, Shizuka, we asked you to come and call him, but you ended up slacking off with him."

The sudden sound immediately jolted Wu Tong out of his reverie.

Wu Tong turned his head to look at the scene behind him, where Minami Rika was staring at Marikawa Shizuka Wu Tong his arms with her beautiful eyes.

Marikawa Shizuka groggily looked up and saw Minami Rika glaring at her. She immediately jumped up and scrambled out of Wu Tong.

Standing on the deck to the side, looking at Minami Rika, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't rest, I just... I just..."

"Just what?"

"Um... I'm sorry, Rika, I just forgot what I was going to say to my husband..."

"Forgot?!"

Upon hearing Marikawa Shizuka's words, Minami Rika slapped her forehead.

Sure enough, she said that Marikawa Shizuka's long absence must mean something had happened.

Looking at it now, hey, it really is as expected.

Her best friend has never disappointed anyone when it comes to being a disappointment!

While internally complaining, Minami Rika glared at Marikawa Shizuka and grumbled, "Forgot? Why don't you forget yourself?"

"Uh... Private Marseille!"

Upon hearing this, Marikawa Shizuka blushed and bowed in apology.

Wu Tong, meanwhile, lay on a beach chair, watching the farce with a smile.

When he saw Minami Rika's helpless expression, he immediately revealed a gloating smile and said, "Alright, alright, you know Shizuka's situation. It would be a problem if she didn't make a mistake."

"What were you thinking? Why did you send Shizuka to inform me?"

Minami Rika looked at Wu Tong's Wu Tong smile, rolled her eyes at him, and said:

"Nonsense, it's definitely because there's no one available."

"If everyone else wasn't busy, I wouldn't have asked Shizuka to come and tell you."

No one available? That can't be right.

With so many people coming this time, how did we end up with no one available?

What about the others?

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong asked with a puzzled look, "No one is available? What have they all gone to do?"

"The others? They're probably wandering around the ship."

Wu Tong was even more puzzled. "But they're all fine, so why is there no one available?"

"It's because you built such a big ship. They've gone too far and can't get here quickly, so I sent Shizuka, who lives closest to us, over."

After explaining the reason, Minami Rika turned to look at Marikawa Shizuka, her face full of regret, and said:

"If I had known it would be like this, I would have come by myself."

I see.

After understanding the reason, Wu Tong couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless:

The ship was built so big to make your trip more comfortable, and now it's turned into my fault?

Wu Tong secretly pursed his lips, but since he was still thinking, he didn't say it aloud.

Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "Alright, alright, what were you originally planning to have Shizuka tell me?"

"Oh right, you interrupted me just now, and I almost forgot about the important matter."

Reminded by Wu Tong, Minami Rika finally realized what was happening and quickly said to Wu Tong:

"I was just bored and shooting birds on the deck when I saw a pirate ship following our ship. It seemed to have some ill intentions."

Nothing to do... so I shot birds...

Upon hearing those two words, Wu Tong's lips twitched slightly.

You'd rather hunt birds than come to me if you have nothing better to do... cough cough But you can't hunt birds if you have nothing better to do. What if you shoot News Bird and they refuse to sell us your newspaper?

After mentally grumbling a few times, Wu Tong turned his attention to the important matter that Minami Rika had mentioned.

"A pirate ship? Just one? Is that all? Why don't you handle it yourselves? Why bother coming to me?"

"Hehe... I just wanted you to bet on the lowest possible outcome."

With our current strength, while we're not weak in this world, we can't be considered top-tier powerhouses either, so we'd like to ask you to come and provide support."

Minami Rika chuckled and began to explain.

Upon hearing Minami Rika's words, Wu Tong couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Sister, do you seem to have a problem with your own perception of your abilities?

Aren't you top-tier?

Yes, aside from Elysia and Eden, those two Hero, this statement is indeed correct.

But you can't calculate it like that.
