That day she immediately understood. Hino wasn't going to hide it anymore. The most important person to him now was her, and not Yuhi.
Her gaze fell on Hino, sitting on the sand guarding their bags.
"Why do you never come over?" Sumire called out.
"I'm fine, just watching," Hino replied. "Rather, it's surprising that you like the sea this much."
"Hmm, places like this frighten me since there are usually many people. But nobody comes to this beach."
"There are rumors that this place is haunted." Hino pointed out.
Sumire blinked, surprised. "So that explains it."
"Are you not even going to scream like a normal girl would?"
She tilted her head. "Is that what you are into, Hino? I am surprised." She was about to leave the sea and walk back over but lost her footing. But before she could fall into the sea, Hino caught her again. "Um, aha."
"The only reason I'm watching is because I know you can't swim."
