Summary[]
While Kikyo was lost in her thoughts, she couldn't hear Shinohara calling out to her worriedly. Kushida, who was suddenly brought out of her thoughts, felt as if she was being hit by a tsunami of sounds from her surrounding making her drop the doll that was in her hands.
When Kushida asked Shinohara why she called out to her, Shinohara answered that Kei had asked if she wanted to go the deck as there was an incredible scenery that can be viewed from the deck. Kushida agreed and said she would head thereafter buying the dolphin doll that was in her hands. buying the doll, she headed towards the deck with the girls who were waiting near the entrance of the shop. At the deck, the crew members welcomed them with a smile and helped open the door and All the students were gathered at the bow in order to look at the scenery.
The scenery was so incredible that Kei, who normally only showed low interest in anything other than dressing herself, sighed seeing it. Kei and the rest of the girls excitedly surveyed the ocean, while Kushida considered the moment to be important and didn't want to ruin it. Kei then suggested joining the boys who were in the bow to which the other girls accepted. When Kushida with the rest girls reached the bow, they entered a vacant place occupied by the boys of Class-D namely Sudo's group. The boys let them enter without a look of dislike on their faces.
After entering, Kushida saw Ayanokouji who was gazing boringly at the sea. Seeing him, she felt a sense of impatience as he was the one who had seen her hidden side. Normally, she would have kept a close eye on him but due to his small presence and little to no interaction, she felt it hard to keep an eye on him. She feels that seeing him always made her remember about some other things.
When she asked Ayanokouji where Horkita was, he answered that he didn't know where she was and added that she probably was in her room as she isn't a type of person to enjoy a trip. Kushida felt that what he said was probably true and that would make things easier for her as she wants to enjoy the summer vacation. She then stood beside Ayanokouji, feeling the sea at a close range.
After the ship's broadcast ended, Kushida saw an isle, the ship was heading towards. Kushida then thinks that Kei and other girls were probably looking forward to the beach as they wanted to go swimming. She feels that even though their school is different from a normal school, there were still things that were normal and those were the things she wanted to protect at all costs. She felt that she had determination she needed to protect her normal school life and while gradually approaching the isle, the determination she had, only grew stronger.
