Chapter 342: Grand Blue
Tokita Shinji raised an eyebrow at Fu Yue and said with a smile.
Fugaku thought, Of course I know, and replied with a smile, "Alright. Please make sure to let me join!"
He was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that right after arriving, he would run into Tokita Shinji, and even get the chance to go to Grand Blue for a gathering.
This way, he would be able to meet many characters from Grand Blue.
For example, the protagonist Kitahara Iori, his good friend Imamura Kohei, as well as the Kotesegawa sisters—the mature and well-built elder sister Nanami Kotesegawa, and the cute younger sister Kotesegawa Chisa.
Both sisters were exceptionally beautiful.
The younger sister, Kotesegawa Chisa, had even won the beauty contest in Episode 4. It should be noted that the competition included female students from first to third year. For Chisa to win among so many beauties was proof enough of her charm. It would not be an exaggeration to call her the campus belle of Izu University.
"Haha, you're not bad, newcomer. Very good. Wait for me here," Tokita Shinji said.
"Once I finish writing this, I'll take you over. You don't know Grand Blue's address yet."
Tokita Shinji added, "You don't have anything else to do later, right?"
"No," Fu Yue nodded. "I'll wait here."
After Tokita Shinji finished up, he took Fu Yue to the train. They rode for about four stops before getting off.
After exiting the station and passing two intersections, Tokita Shinji chuckled and pointed ahead.
"Look. That's where we gather—Grand Blue. The owner is a great guy. You'll definitely like this place."
Fu Yue looked at the shop in front of him. It was exactly the same as in the anime, as if it had been completely brought into reality.
"I think so too."
Fu Yue smiled.
"Haha, then let's go in."
Tokita Shinji pushed the door open and gestured for Fu Yue to enter.
Fu Yue walked inside and saw the shop owner behind the counter. There was no one else inside.
The shop owner was Kitahara Iori's uncle. His name was rarely mentioned in the anime—Kitahara Iori called him uncle, the sisters called him dad, and the Diving Club members called him boss.
Seeing Fu Yue looking over, Tokita Shinji introduced him.
"This is the owner of Grand Blue."
Then he turned to the owner and said, smiling, "Boss, this is the newcomer who joined our club today—Uchida Yuma. He's here to attend today's gathering as well."
Tokita Shinji patted Fu Yue on the shoulder.
"Yuma, say hello."
Fu Yue nodded.
"Boss, I'm Uchida Yuma. Please take care of me."
Toshio Kotesegawa, with his short white hair, stocky build, and pink apron, laughed warmly.
"Welcome! Welcome! Make yourself at home!"
Tokita Shinji glanced around and said, "It's still early. The others haven't arrived yet. I'll take you to meet Iori."
"He's also a first-year student like you. He's staying here—he's the boss's nephew. He's a good guy. You'll get along well and probably become friends."
"Boss, is Iori in his room?"
"Oh, yes. He seems to be watching some kind of 'miracle' DVD."
"Oh? Let's go, Yuma."
Fu Yue followed Tokita Shinji upstairs.
Just then, they ran into a super cute girl coming down the stairs. She had short brown hair, a white top, hot pants that revealed her long, fair legs, and pink flip-flops. Her large, expressive eyes were especially striking.
A flicker of surprise appeared in Fu Yue's eyes. He recognized her instantly.
Kotesegawa Chisa.
Her beauty was undeniable—on par with women like Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina.
"Tokita-senpai."
Kotesegawa Chisa greeted him.
"Oh, Chisa," Tokita Shinji smiled.
"This is the newcomer who joined our club today. He's a first-year student, just like you, Iori, and Kohei."
"Hello. I'm Uchida Yuma."
Fu Yue greeted her calmly.
His gaze was clean and composed. He had seen many beautiful women in the Naruto world—none inferior to Chisa. In fact, shinobi women often had even stronger temperaments.
Uchiha Mikoto, Uzumaki Kushina, Tsunade, and Yūgao Uzuki—each had her own charm.
While Kotesegawa Chisa was beautiful, her aura was still gentler by comparison.
"Hello."
Chisa replied softly.
Tokita Shinji, familiar with her personality, smiled.
"We're going to see Iori now. We'll head up first."
Chisa nodded lightly and went downstairs.
Fu Yue followed Tokita Shinji to the third floor.
Originally, Kitahara Iori's room had been on the second floor and fairly spacious, but due to his disastrous room management, he had been relocated to this small, soon-to-be-demolished room on the third floor.
This room had always been the Diving Club's gathering spot.
When Iori protested, Kotobuki Ryūjirō, another senior member of the Diving Club, firmly rejected him, stating that the club had always used this room.
Iori eventually gave up.
While walking, Fu Yue opened the system panel of his game helmet.
The character displayed was Uchida Yuma, with (Fu Yue) listed in parentheses.
When he had just spoken with Kotesegawa Chisa, he had heard a quest update notification.
Opening the task list, he saw a new side quest:
[Side Quest: Increase Kotesegawa Chisa's affection to 50]
Current affection: 20
"We're here," Tokita Shinji said, pushing open the door.
What appeared before them was a shabby room whose interior style was completely different from the elegant exterior.
If the outside looked modern, this room looked like it belonged in the 1990s.
