Once inside the store, everyone was chatting cheerfully. Shinji and Ryuu were talking with big smiles. Ryuu was patting Kaito's back, laughing, and saying, "So your name is Kaito, huh? Haha, nice to meet you. I'm Ryuujirou Kotobuki, but just call me Ryuu," pointing at his friend Shinji, he added, "And this is Shinji Tokita." Shinji laughed and said, "Nice to meet you, Kaito, haha."
Kaito, in response to all this, smiled and said, "Nice to meet you too, Ryuu, Shinji." After saying this, they continued asking Kaito different things, like how he got his car. Azusa, who was listening with a smile, told them about Kaito's activities and that he came from a very wealthy family.
Upon hearing this, everyone who didn't know was surprised and nodded, saying, "That explains everything, the suit, the presence, the car, it all screams rich person." The guys nodded, but didn't pay much attention and kept talking to him as if he were just anybody.
Kaito really appreciated this gesture. Very few people treated him like a normal person when they found out where he came from and who he was. Despite being a bit noisy, he felt they were very good people.
Meanwhile, at another table, Azusa, Nanaka, and Chisa were chatting. Azusa said to Nanaka with a mischievous smile, "Wow, Nanaka, I leave for a while, and you already have Kaito in your hands. Tell me your secret." Upon hearing this, Nanaka responded to Azusa with a flushed face, "Azusa, it's not like that." Azusa laughed and said, "sorry, sorry." Then, looking at Nanaka with a sincere smile, she added, "I envy you, Nanaka. You met someone who really loves you a lot."
Upon hearing this, Nanaka, with a warm smile, looked at Kaito, who was chatting with Ryuu and Shinji, and said, "I'm very lucky to have him." Azusa nodded upon hearing this, meanwhile, Chisa didn't know how to join the conversation. She wasn't very good at the topic of relationships; you could talk to her all you want about diving, but if you talk to her about relationships, she won't understand most of what you say.
Azusa again said to Nanaka with a mischievous smile, "And tell us, what did Kaito bring you as a gift?" Given the kind of person Kaito was, Azusa was curious to know what he had brought. Upon hearing this, Nanaka smiled and replied, "Wait a moment, I'll go get them," and headed to her room where she had left her gifts, and quickly brought them to show her friend and Chisa. With the gift they gave her, she knew Chisa would go crazy.
Upon returning, Nanaka had a large bouquet of roses. Seeing this, Azusa's eyes lit up, and she said to Nanaka, "How beautiful, did Kaito really send them to you, Nanaka?" Chisa, on the other hand, nodded. Nanaka said with a smile, "Yes, they're very beautiful, although I still don't know where I'm going to put them." Upon hearing this, Azusa said with a smile, "I'll help you find a good place for them later."
Nanaka nodded with a smile and placed the large bouquet of flowers on the table, saying, "Wait, I have to bring the rest," Azusa, upon hearing this, said with a smile, "I thought so. With how much Kaito loves you, it was a given that there would be more." Nanaka with a smile went back to her room and brought everything else.
Back with Azusa and Chisa, they were waiting for Nanaka to come with her next gifts. Upon seeing her arrive, they turned to her, and upon seeing what she brought, Azusa was surprised, not to mention Chisa, who practically jumped from where she was and stood in front of Nanaka asking eagerly, "Can I?"
Upon seeing Chisa so excited, Nanaka understood why and nodded, passing her gifts to her for her to see. Azusa also joined in, and upon seeing the gifts, she exclaimed, "Oh, this is diving equipment, what a surprise." Chisa, upon hearing Azusa, replied seriously, "It's not just any diving equipment," and then, holding the gifts as if they were the most precious things in the world, she said, "It's a Shearwater Teric Dive Computer, a Waterproof D9X Breathable ISS Drysuit, an Apeks MTX-R Titanium Dive Regulator, an OrcaTorch D950V Dive Light, and a Paralenz Vaquita Underwater Action Camera."
For Chisa, these objects are everything she wants to have, and at this moment, they are in her hands and she is touching them. If this is a dream for Chisa, she hopes she never wakes up. Then, in an incredulous tone, she said, "They're not supposed to be on sale here yet." Upon hearing this, Azusa replied with a smile, "Well, it's Kaito we're talking about. For him, getting these is very easy." Chisa, upon hearing this, nodded foolishly, and in her mind, she thought, "I never thought I would be so jealous of my onee-chan for something."
While the girls were talking about the diving equipment, especially Chisa, who couldn't stop praising the qualities of the equipment, they heard shouts of surprise from the boys behind them. Intrigued, they looked at them, and what they saw surprised them enormously.
