A red sun sank over the surface of Lake Sad Love. It was not known whether the sunset dyed the lake red, or whether it was really as Hattori Heiji thought, that someone had cast a magical spell at the bottom of the lake, causing the water to gradually turn red.

"Lake...why did the lake water turn into this color? What's going on?!" Hattori Heiji exclaimed after rubbing his eyes hard to make sure he was not seeing things.

An inexplicable emotion flashed across Tono Eiji's face. He looked at the red lake and said slowly:

"Long ago, in a village near here, there lived a pair of deeply in love. Unfortunately... for some reason, no matter how much they loved each other, they could not be together. Tormented, they promised to reunite in the next life, then drowned themselves in the lake.

From then on, whenever they jumped into the lake, the water would be dyed red with their love. This is the legend of the Lake of Sad Love, and just as the name suggests, it is a love story that ended in suicide.

"What a sad story! They loved each other so much but it couldn't last. It's so pitiful." Kakizaki Sayuri sighed. As someone who only reads pure sapphic comics for girls, she really can't accept a story that ends with suicide.

Most people wore sad expressions, with the exception of Hattori Heiji and Fujiwara Yuu. As an atheist, Hattori Heiji naturally disbelieved such unscientific legends, while the latter showed no interest because he knew why the lake turned red.

Fujiwara Yuu put one hand in his pocket, holding the empty cigarette box, and said indifferently:

"If you knew anything about red bloom and red tide, you wouldn't say the lake's reddening is related to love. It's just a natural phenomenon and has nothing to do with this boring story."

"?"

What kind of special ability is it to successfully break the atmosphere of tragic love with just one sentence? Hattori Heiji secretly gave a thumbs up to Touji Sosuke. He is worthy of being Touji's brother. His face-slapping behavior was a great success.

Toono Eiji didn't feel embarrassed at all. He smiled, put his hands behind his back, and said in a light tone:

"Mr. Yingsi is really knowledgeable, but I am quite interested in this knowledge. Why don't you tell me what red tide is?"

"Can."

Hattori Heiji didn't expect that Takashi Sosuke would be "seduced" by the hypocritical Tono Eiji. He pressed the baseball cap on his head in confusion and looked at Kazuha beside him and said:

"Let's go for a walk around here too? Don't you want to see the scenery?"

"Hmm? Okay!"

Kakizaki Sayuri felt a little helpless when she saw this, but thinking of her mission here, she quickly took out a Canon film camera from her camera bag and started taking pictures of the red lake water - she didn't care about the legend of the Sad Love Lake or the natural phenomenon, as long as such rare situations could be recorded in the form of photos.

She waved to the absent-minded Saito Masami and said with a smile:

"Yami, why don't you stand by the lake so I can take a picture of you?"

However, her proposal did not receive a response for a long time. When she turned her head, she noticed that her best friend was staring in the direction where Mr. Ying Si was walking away, like a beautiful husband-waiting stone.

Kakizaki Sayuri, who has a carefree personality and a straight-laced mind, really doesn't understand why someone doesn't pursue the relationship if they like it. She put away her film camera, took Yamei's arm, and said earnestly:

"If you care so much about him, why don't you take the initiative? Don't wait until he no longer belongs to you and then regret it."

Miyano Akemi was stunned when she heard this. She did not feel shy when her little thoughts were exposed. Instead, she lowered her head and looked a little at a loss. She was not a timid person, otherwise she would not have said, "Can I come to see you again in the future?"

She has a lot of things to worry about. As a member of the organization...if she really pursues what she wants regardless of the consequences, it will not only delay Fujiwara-kun's mission, but she may even become a burden.

This is not what Miyano Akemi wants to see. At least now is not the time to talk about love. She is more sober than anyone else.

"Thank you for your concern, but I think maintaining the status quo is fine. Who knows if he's changed after not seeing him for a few years."

"Please, he just refused to help me with my luggage, but when he saw you were in trouble, he attacked you without saying a word!" Kakizaki Sayuri pinched her throat to make her voice as masculine as possible, and deliberately imitated the cold tone of Takashi Sosuke's voice: "No, the road is bumpy."

"Okay, you just want to tease me, right?"

"I can't bear to tease my big baby. Let's not talk about him. Let's go over there and take a few pictures and then go back. Didn't Mr. Kujo say that the dinner will start at 6:00? Let's hurry up!"

"Yeah, okay."

——

There were still a few minutes left until 6:00 p.m., and the last person to arrive at the central cabin of the campground was Yosuke Goki, who claimed to be a freelance writer. He said that he got lost while wandering around collecting materials, so he came back late.

Kujo Shotaro, who was preparing ice buckets for everyone, frowned and put the ice bucket down when he heard this. He said in a serious tone:

"Mr. Goki, it's better not to go into the forest when it's late. After all, it's not open to the public yet and there are no security personnel. If you get lost, it will be difficult for all of us to find you."

"Hahahaha sorry sorry, I'll drink a glass by myself, okay?"

Yosuke Goki picked up the wine in the bottle and knocked the top of the bottle roughly on the table. The bottle mouth broke and the purple-red liquid splashed out. If Sayuri Kawanishi had not dodged quickly enough, her white dress would have been ruined.
