"Until now, you’re the only one who’s been able to come down to my cabin."
"Your cabin?" Chihaya has finally managed to lift herself onto the top bunk beside Aya with her both arms, like when she was doing the high bar during a PE class.
"Yes. Captain Aya’s quarters,,,hehe. Well actually, this ship is called Yaeyama Maru 5. It belonged to Uncle Mamiya from the north reef and sank during a storm while he was out fishing this spring. He has the buoy up because I think he eventually plans to float it up.”
"Did you find the ship, Aya?"
"Yeah," Aya grinned. “Uncle Mamiya was happy that I saved him time finding it.”
Aya’s face, torso, and upper limbs were illuminated by the porthole, with pale, wandering stripes cast on her body. She was beautiful, and Chihaya wondered if herself looked the same.
