In this ars, watermelons are distributed under the name <>.
It is red inside and has seeds. It is not as sweet as the watermelons known to Jin, but it is edible enough.
"Cracking open a shika? What do you do with the watermelon?
Saki questioned.
"Oh, you don't just crack it open. It's one of the summer games in the world where I was ...... blindfolded and guided by the voices around us, we smash the squid."
"Really?"
Saki didn't seem to get the point,
"Sounds interesting!
Hannah is enthusiastic.
"Okay, let's get ready to go ashore.
All we need is a swimsuit, a watermelon, a sheet, a blindfold, and a stick.
The sheet is to put the watermelon on the beach and prevent the watermelon from getting covered in sand.
"Yes, yes, keep going around ten times. ......"
First of all, Saki, who did not understand how it was done, had to experience it firsthand.
"Ugh,...... my eyes are rolling."
"That's okay. ...... keep walking straight. ...... a little more to the right. ...... too far right, a little more left. ......Good, two more steps. ...... stop right there. Swing it down!"
Saki walked as Jin instructed and swung the stick as hard as she could.
"Yes!"
But the stick was swung down at a place 10 cm next to Sakiya.
"I'm sorry, sir."
"Oh, so this is what happened."
Saki took off her blindfold and finally looked at me as if she had reached an understanding.
"Next is ......."
"Yes, me!
Hannah raised her hand cheerfully.
"Okay, you know how to do this?
"Yes!"
Hannah was blindfolded and made to turn ten times at a suitable distance.
"Come on, go!"
Hannah, a little more to the left!
A little more to the left! ...... keep going, keep going!
Okay, there it is!
Yeah!
Hanna swung the stick and it smashed into the shika.
"Yes!"
Hanna jumps up and down with joy.
Reiko exchanges the shika.
The broken squid is stored in a cooler box. They will all eat it later.
"Elsa, a little more to the right! ...... too far, too far, left, left! ...... Oh, too far again!"
Elsa was dizzy after 10 turns and wandered off, heading for the sheikah.......
"Ei!"
She was banging about 50 centimeters next to Sica.
Stearina and Vivian declined, so Marcia blindfolded them.
She went around ten times, but she didn't wobble a bit, probably because she had trained her semicircular canals on the boat.
"Keep going two more ......1 steps ...... ah, go back half a step! ......Good, swing straight down!"
As per the rules, he went around 10 times blindfolded. .......
Jin bro, right.
"Oniichan, you turned right."
"Oh, I went too far left this time."
"Four more steps. ......3 ......2 ......."
"You're missing a half step. Just go a little further.
Okay, that's good.
"Oh my God!"
"Oh ...... that was so close!"
Jin swung his stick down, but it only narrowly grazed Siica.

"That was pretty fun, wasn't it?
"<>, this kind of game is fun too.
"It's nice to eat the broken squid, isn't it?
Everyone chats while eating shiitake under the shade of a tree.
By the way, the shiitake is cooled by <.
"Cooled shiitake is delicious, isn't it? Let's try it with potlocks.
With refrigerators becoming more common, people are beginning to chill food, but it still seems to be a trial-and-error process as to what should be chilled.
It is not possible to cool everything.
We decided to collect the eaten seeds by throwing them on the plastic sheets instead of scattering them around.
These seeds have a high probability of sprouting if left unattended.
Because of this, the garden at Jin's facility was once covered with watermelon vines.
However, none of them bore satisfactory fruits, whether because they were bred watermelons, lack of fertilizers, or lack of sunshine.

"Oh, you've had a lot of fun. ......
"Yeah, I agree."
The honeymoon is now six days old. Jin and Elsa felt they had enjoyed their vacation to the fullest.
"We were aiming for seven days, what do you think?"
"Well, I'm satisfied."
Elsa replies with narrowed eyes, her expression showing that she is truly satisfied with her vacation.
"I see. Well then, can we make tomorrow the last day?"
"Yes, of course."
"Sure."
Jin gently hugged Elsa's slender body and whispered in her ear.
"This past week has been a lot of fun."
Erza, leaning back against Jin, replies in a quiet voice, "Me, too.
"Me too. I'm very, very happy.
The two of them snuggle together.
The night passed peacefully.
In the background, the Rand team, which had been investigating the Pleiades, had found something of interest.
