The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

Sitting at the dining table, food evaluation is an essential skill for every celebrity. For Takahashi Ran, figuratively praising ordinary ingredients to the skies is a basic skill!

Although her mood was slightly affected, she still smiled confidently at the delivery lady, and then her eyes lit up when she saw the food on the table.

"The first dish is giant clam. This type of shellfish has a very delicate texture and tastes absolutely amazing!"

Picking up a large piece of clam meat with her chopsticks, Takahashi Ran stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out as she chewed with obvious bliss.

Meanwhile, as dish after dish of seafood was served, the frustration she felt from her lack of progress that morning was gradually worn away by the delicious taste, until…

"Oh, it seems we're out of drinks. Could you please get me another one?"

"No problem at all!"

With a swift movement, the maid-clad waitress stood before the table, holding a suspicious white bottle. She quickly poured "ice water" for Takahashi Rana but didn't leave, as if she knew she would return even if she left.

However, her vigilance had long been worn away, and Takahashi Ran simply ignored this small detail, picking up her cup and taking a small sip.

"Cough cough cough! Ugh! What is this?!"

The moment the liquid touched her tongue, she realized something was wrong and quickly and cautiously pushed the remaining liquid in the cup away. Takahashi Ran covered her mouth, which was sticking out her tongue, and tears welled up in her eyes from the spiciness!

"It's obvious that this is a glass of ice water."

"Liar! How could ice water be so spicy! They must have added something to it!"

"Huh? Even if you say that, there's nothing we can do, Sachi~"

The blue-haired waitress snapped her fingers, looking troubled as she faced the questioning. An orange-haired waitress who happened to be passing by sighed, walked over, raised her glass, and took a sip under Takahashi Ran's gaze.

"Ton ton ton, it's obviously just ordinary ice water."

"Huh? How is that possible?"

Her eyes widened. She had clearly found it very spicy when she drank it, but Takahashi Ran stared at the waiter's micro-expressions for a long time without noticing anything wrong.

Her gaze slowly shifted to the cup, and she frowned, wondering if she had tasted something wrong. Was the spiciness from the giant clam wasabi still at work?

With a try-it-and-see attitude, the liquid in the cup flowed into her mouth again, and this time the spiciness went straight to her head!

"No! This tastes like strong liquor!"

“Miss Lan, stop joking. Judging from the color, it’s just ordinary water. Besides…”

The blue-haired maid lit a lighter on the bottle opening and proudly demonstrated, "See, it can still be lit! It's pure water, isn't it!"

"This is clearly pure alcohol! Are there something wrong with your stomachs?!"

Slamming her hand on the table, Takahashi Ran stood up, her sharp eyes revealing her genuine anger!

The waiter is talking complete nonsense right now, as if he's deliberately trying to prank me, but this scene is clearly not in the program schedule!

"Huh? Is there something wrong with your stomach?"

With their heads down, as if they were waiting for those words, the blue-haired maid and the orange-haired maid stood in a row, each reaching into the other's maid outfit with their hands.

Finally, the two took out the still wriggling, bag-like red thing, which even had two thumb-width umbilical cords attached to it.

"Miss Lana, why don't you take a look for yourself?"

"???"

The gaze followed the crimson bloodstains down to the ground, and Takahashi Ran's entire demeanor turned ashen, before she let out an incredulous soprano voice—

"Aaaaaah!!! Keiko, help me!!!"

"What's wrong, Lan? If you're in danger, hurry to the diving pool area. Our staff are there!"

"Ok!"

Completely losing her ability to think, Takahashi Aina followed the directions and rushed straight to the diving area, where she indeed saw two filming crew members wearing full-body diving suits and diving masks.

"I'm sorry! Please help me!"

"What's wrong, Miss Lan? What happened?"

The familiar female voice made Takahashi Ai momentarily forget the other person's name, but a sense of security still welled up within her.

Seeking refuge in his embrace, she felt as if she had bumped into something slightly hard and gelatinous, rather than the soft texture of his breasts!

"?"

Looking up in bewilderment, Takahashi Ran wanted to see who she had bumped into, but as the diving mask and goggle were lifted, a pale face with a lot of blush on its cheeks came into view.

It wouldn't be a big deal if I saw this under normal circumstances, but right now I've just encountered a maid who's been so open and honest with me...

"Waterproof...paper effigy!"

Tears welled up instantly in Takahashi Ran's eyes, and without thinking, she dashed out again. The cameraman who had finally caught up with her, carrying his equipment, only felt a gust of wind whistling past him.

You're amazing! You're so high and mighty! You run so fast without carrying anything that you've left me in the dust!

While inwardly groaning, the photographer, panting heavily, reported the situation over the walkie-talkie: "Director Yu, it's no use! I can't catch up!"

"Group Two! Group Two, take over! Lan Na is in great shape, her expression is very natural! Don't miss a single shot! Tonight at the celebration party, I'll perform a handstand while drinking the water of life!"

"..."

Seeing the guy next to him who was so excited, slamming his fist on the table and yelling at his employees while calling himself the director, the original director quietly shrank to the side to avoid getting in the way.

Young people these days are so energetic, and they get paid for nothing without having to work—that's exactly the kind of treatment an old man like him wants!

"Kouhei, do you think my makeup is really that bad?"

In the diving area, after reciting the promotional lines, Yoshihara Mana pulled the crooked breast pad back into place and couldn't help but laugh out loud at the second corpse beast next to her.

Honestly, it's fine to paint this on your own face, but it looks hilarious on Kohei's celebrity face. No wonder the Tinker Bell team made him a comedian.

"Actually, I think it's fine. Makeup isn't important; what's important is the person behind the makeup."

"Hmm... then I'll accept the praise. Let's go! We have another event to catch up on!"

Without any hesitation, she kissed Kohei's fair cheek, then spat out the foam in her mouth, playfully stuck out her tongue, ran a few steps, and waved back.

……

Meanwhile, Takahashi Ran's ordeal continued. After escaping the territory of the corpse-beast couple, she was tricked into going up an extra-long water slide with the warning, "If you don't slide away quickly, you'll be caught by that disgusting virgin Yamamoto!"

"Aaaaaah! Don't come any closer!"

We also enjoyed a solo flamingo dance performed by Yamamoto and the fish in the underwater tunnel aquarium.

Come ON! Come ON!

"My eyes! My eyes are going blind!"

Not only the eyes, but even the ears were contaminated by memes, resulting in auditory hallucinations that did not exist at all.

Under Miyazawa Yu's meticulous arrangement, Takahashi Ran took breaks by running or riding water slides, and her absolute soprano voice dominated the second half of the shoot.

"Hoo-ha! Hoo...ha!"

Finally, she stopped around the musical fountain. As the sun began to set, Takahashi Rana finally found a long-lost sense of security in the crowd.

But when she looked up, she was horrified to find that the monster that had just been chasing her was now brazenly appearing in the crowd! However, this time their target didn't seem to be her!

Just then, as the music started, a huge column of water shot into the sky, and hundreds of splashing white ripples announced that the water park had officially entered its nighttime operation mode.

"what……"

Moved by the breathtaking scene before her, Takahashi Ran instinctively raised her head, and the shutter clicked repeatedly beside her to capture the beautiful photo of the sunset and fountain reflected in her pupils!

"ah!"

"Don't worry, Lana, it's me!"

Seeing that Takahashi Ran looked like a frightened deer, Oshima Keiko quickly moved the camera away and awkwardly revealed her identity. The next second, she was happily embraced by her idol who rushed over.

"Huizi! You scared me to death! You have no idea what happened! I'm so relieved to see you!"

"Uh... Lana, actually it was all just filming, calm down!"

"Filming?"

With teary eyes, she slowly raised her head and looked at Ran's pitiful little face. Oshima Keiko felt that she was no better than a scumbag for cooperating with the scumbag's evil deeds!

"Yes, filming will allow them to enjoy their trip while also using the anti-prank as a selling point to boost viewership."

Holding Nanaka's hand, Miyazawa Yu's sudden appearance startled Takahashi Ran, but after hearing his explanation, the latter immediately understood.

"Wait! Does that mean you're talking about the show?"

"It's already recorded. We can discuss any issues at the celebration banquet!"

Chapter 320 Chisa doesn't understand love!

"What?! Even if it's a prank, you should at least tell me! You scared me to death!"

"Well, after all, the main thing about hit shows is authenticity. Miss Lan did a great job, capturing a lot of interesting footage!"

Under the starry night, with barbecue and endless drinks, the water park truly lives up to its reputation as a wealthy and generous establishment, providing the filming crew with barbecue grills and refrigerators for a celebratory banquet.

Sitting to the side, discussing with the director how to edit the footage to fill in the boring morning scenes, Miyazawa Yu turned her head helplessly and gave him an annoying "I'm doing this for your own good!" look!

However, this is indeed the case. The effect of a show either comes from the tourists or from the person themselves, and Takahashi Ai understands this perfectly well.

Now, the "complaints" afterward are merely playful grumbling among friends.

After calming her racing heart, Takahashi Aina was actually very grateful for everyone's help, because if this episode had ended in Game Over, she probably wouldn't have fared well!

"Ugh... And even Keiko has joined in, a traitor!"

The food she ate at noon had long been used up. She took some skewers from Nanaka, who was in charge of the grilling station, and finally sat down next to Keiko Oshima's bench with a resentful look in her eyes.

Cold sweat beaded on her forehead. She had indeed been a guide all afternoon. Keiko Oshima blushed and turned her head away to eat.

No matter how much Lan poked at him, he didn't dare to say anything, determined to ignore the situation and not take responsibility.

"Keiko had no choice. When Miss Ran was scared and cried, it seemed like Keiko cried too~"

"Miss Nanaka!"

"What does it matter?"

Wearing an apron, he placed the fried rice noodles in front of Huizi so that she wouldn't have to keep "hunching over" the few remaining grains of rice on her plate.

Nanaka Kotegawa smiled as she walked past the two of them, finally stopping behind her boyfriend and pressing her warm, oily hands, which she had just used to grill food, onto his cheeks.

"Yu, how's it going over here? Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"It's pretty much finalized. The rest is up to post-production editing. Where are those guys?"

"They're all over there."

She pointed to the staff dining area, and following Nana Hana's finger, Miyazawa Yu narrowed her eyes and her expression instantly turned speechless.

Before I even sat down at the table, Yamamoto and Nojima were already having a great time drinking with the logistics staff.

Thanks to the drinking capacity they honed under the tutelage of the Pab trio, they have become the most dazzling Kings of the night!

However, apart from these two people, the two O-men who were expected to be there were nowhere to be found. He searched the entire celebration party before finally finding Iori-san's trail next to Miss Rana.

"I'm telling you, you haven't developed some weird fetish, have you? Are you addicted to wearing maid outfits?"

"Go to hell! If I had a change of clothes, who would want to walk around in this outfit!"

With his hands behind his head, Kitahara Iori was casually chatting with Takahashi Ran with his legs crossed, completely lacking any decorum, but the next second he heard Yu's voice and immediately switched back to his scumbag mode.

With deadpan eyes and amidst Miss Rana's screams, he unabashedly lifted his maid's long skirt, pointed at the indelible bloodstains on his panties, and gave Yu the middle finger.

"Even though it's fake blood, it's still so hard to wash off! This is my favorite swim trunks!"

"Anyway, swim trunks don't become more comfortable the more you wear them. I'll just buy you another pair when we get back. Don't be so stingy."

"Ah! By the way, Iori-kun, what exactly did you and Chisa pull out?"

Speaking of this, Takahashi Aina suddenly remembered the terrifying scene in the restaurant, so she tilted her head and asked in confusion, "I know about fake blood, but was that bag some kind of prop?"

"no."

With a calm expression, Kitahara Iori turned to look at Takahashi Ran and patted her stomach twice, causing her maid outfit to deflate slightly.

"It's just a pig stomach borrowed from the kitchen. Don't worry, it was definitely not returned to be reused for the customers!"

"Reuse isn't the key point, is it? How can you carry such a bizarre thing around on your person!"

She covered her mouth in shock. Takahashi Ran had initially thought that Iori and Chisa had borrowed some props from the water park, but she hadn't expected them to actually use the real thing!

Besides, even if Iori is one thing, why would Chisa dare to hide a pig's belly so close to her body? As a fellow girl, isn't she too weak?
