But at that moment...
March 7th was still feeling rather pleased with herself.
She had managed to get close to Lin Chen and catch Asta completely off guard.
She was even a little impressed by her own cleverness and decisiveness.
"Dummy... you're doing it wrong."
"Let me help you adjust your posture."
Amid the emerald waves...
March 7th gently supported Lin Chen's abdomen with her slender, silky-smooth hand.
Feeling the firm muscles beneath her palm...
A faint blush spread across March 7th's fair, pretty face.
Back when they had been in Cabin 0276...
When she had slept in the same bed as Lin Chen...
She had still been terribly shy about physical contact with him and had resisted it.
Yet in such a short time, the situation had completely reversed.
Now, March 7th felt a little dazed.
Was liking Lin Chen really what had changed the way she felt?
Having read plenty of romance books, March 7th felt she was truly beyond saving.
"Cough, cough... I'm dying! March 7th, save me!"
While March 7th was lost in thought...
Lin Chen, who was still struggling and flailing in the water...
Plunged straight beneath the surface, headfirst.
The suffocating sensation left Lin Chen utterly terrified.
"Don't be scared! Grab my hand..."
"Ah... not there! Let go, you pervert!"
The sudden mishap out on the water...
Threw everything into chaos.
Having finally grabbed hold of a lifeline, Lin Chen...
Clamped his hand onto March 7th and refused to let go.
Through his panic, Lin Chen...
Could only vaguely register how exceptionally smooth and soft it felt beneath his palm.
It felt like a big white bunny bouncing in his hand.
"Waaah... help! You dummy, I'm going under too!"
"Asta, help!"
Caught off guard by Lin Chen's sudden grab, March 7th...
Lost her footing
