Yurika happily nodded her head. She would be okay for a while now.
“Satomi-san, Satomi-san, let's eat fried corn!”
Yurika then put her hands together in front of her chest and looked up at Koutarou with sparkling eyes. On her way here, Yurika had spotted several stalls that had caught her interest. If Koutarou was going to support her, she would like to try eating them by all means.
“Don't get a full of yourself”
A quick snapping sound could be heard.
“...I-I'm sorry... I got a little ahead of me...”
“As long as you understand”
“Y-Yes”
Yurika nodded as she held her forehead. Koutarou only hit enemies or those important to him. She was fine while he still hit her, but if she went too far he would eventually stop. Yurika wanted to avoid that at all costs.
“Also, you must exercise properly before you get into the sea”
“Eeeehhh!? But I have a life jacket and float!!”
“That won't do. You'll need to practice little by little. You can't rely on tools forever”
“Uuhh”
Yurika hesitated. She was planning on relying on her tools, but when she thought about it again, she felt like it would be bad to completely rely on them. A magical girl in a life jacket and float was a bit too novel.
“Kiriha-san, could you alternate back and forth with me and teach Yurika how to swim?”
“I understand, I accept”
Either Koutarou or Kiriha would be enough to teach Yurika, but if they did that one of them wouldn't be able to enjoy the beach. Taking turns was a more sensible way of doing it.
“I want to play too”
”I know. You can do what you want the later half”
“Are you sure!?”
”Yeah”
Koutarou wasn't a devil, and he would keep her practice to the first half of the day. Besides, they should have some time where they could play together.
“Then let's go, Nijino Yurika”
”Already!?”
“The sooner we can start, the sooner we can stop”
“Okay. I'll try my best”
”That's more like it”
Kiriha took Yurika with her and headed towards the ocean. Compared to before, Yurika seemed more ambitious. Her continuous study with Koutarou had an effect on this part of her.
