Uruka Minami said with a humble smile.
But even with her being so modest, saying only a few questions were difficult, this still wasn't something an average person could say.
"What about tonight? Should we just go straight to the mall and buy swimsuits?"
Yoshimura Eto said.
"Sure. By the way, do you guys not have swimsuits either?"
Minami suddenly thought of this question.
She and Arima-kun didn't have swimsuits either, after all, they'd never had the opportunity to go somewhere like the beach.
What surprised her a little was that Eto-sensei and Uchiha-kun apparently didn't have any either?
"Yeah, I've never gone before."
Eto nodded.
For more than ten years, she had been surviving in the 24th Ward, don't even talk about going to the beach; just surviving was already a big deal.
"I don't have one either, so let's all go pick out swimsuits tonight. Also, should we invite everyone from Anteiku too?"
Byakuya said.
"Sounds good. I was thinking the same thing. Let's head back to Anteiku first then."
Minami nodded.
20th Ward, Café Anteiku.
"We're going to the beach tomorrow? Come to think of it, I've never been there before."
After hearing Minami's invitation, Kirishima Hikari immediately asked her husband, Kirishima Arata, "Arata, what do you think? Should we bring Touka and Ayato to go have some fun together?"
"I think that'd be great."
Arata replied with a smile.
"The beach! The beach!"
Kirishima Touka immediately shouted happily.
"Speaking of which, Touka, aren't you going to call Kaneki along too?"
Hikari reminded Touka.
"Oh right, I'll go to his place and get him now."
Touka immediately got ready to head out.
"Don't go running off on your own. Go with Dad."
Hikari gently said.
Arata then took Touka out together.
After that, pretty much everyone at Anteiku planned to head to the beach later.
"Come to think of it, none of us have really ever been to the beach. To be precise, we've barely even left the 20th Ward."
Kouma Enji sighed.
"Same here. There's no ocean in the 20th Ward."
Irimi Kaya added.
"I did go take a look once, but going alone isn't any fun. It's much better to go with everyone, that gives it the right atmosphere."
Hoito Roma said with a laugh.
She had lived for so long and had been to many places, even the underground world and so of course she'd also been to the beach.
But there was still one last person to check, Yoshimura Kuzen.
"I'd better stay and watch the shop. An old man like me doesn't really suit places filled with youthful energy."
Yoshimura Kuzen said with a gentle smile.
"I'd really like you to come with us, though."
At this moment, Eto suddenly spoke.
Although the relationship between Yoshimura Kuzen and Eto as father and daughter had eased up a lot, they still didn't talk much on a day-to-day basis.
To say the distance between them had completely disappeared would definitely be a lie. Reaching the level they were at now was already very good.
They basically maintained a relationship of mutual respect while keeping a bit of distance.
It was extremely rare for Eto to take the initiative to speak to Yoshimura Kuzen like this, especially about something like this.
Yoshimura Kuzen was slightly taken aback,he clearly hadn't expected Eto to actually want him to come along.
Since Eto had said so, he had no reason to refuse.
"Alright then, I'll go with you all."
Yoshimura Kuzen said immediately.
A smile appeared on Eto's face.
That evening, everyone from Anteiku went to the mall together to pick out swimsuits.
Yoshimura Kuzen didn't go.
Because he was older, he obviously didn't enjoy playing in the water like the younger folks. Even if he went along, he'd at most just sit on the beach sunbathing and enjoying the scenery, so he didn't need a swimsuit.
Byakuya and Eto of course brought along Mayu-chan and Suzuya Juuzou.
Touka, on the other hand, dragged Kaneki along.
Kaneki Ken had originally planned to use the holiday to catch up on studying, but in the end, he got forcibly dragged away by Touka.
"You insisted on dragging me here, but I don't even have money to buy a swimsuit…"
Even after arriving at the store, Kaneki still muttered a quiet protest.
"If you don't have money, we'll pay for you."
Touka immediately turned to look at her parents, Arata and Hikari, "Papa, Mama."
Obviously, she was asking her parents to buy Kaneki a swimsuit.
"...It's alright.. I'd better pay for it myself."
Kaneki felt too embarrassed to let others spend any of their money on him.
Children's swimsuits were pretty easy to choose, within a few moments, they had already picked out suits for all the kids.
Byakuya originally just wanted to grab something at random, but Eto wouldn't allow it.
"How can you just randomly pick? Let me help you check which style suits you best."
Eto insisted on having Byakuya try on each style for her to see.
"…Alright."
Byakuya had no choice but to comply.
Seeing Eto being like this, Minami was immediately tempted to do the same.
"Um… Kishou, why don't you try this one first?"
Minami picked a swimsuit that she personally really wanted to see Arima wear and handed it to the latter.
"Okay."
Arima took the swimsuit without hesitation and walked into the fitting room.
After that, Minami had Arima try on several different styles, and she was absolutely thrilled with the results.
On the other side, Byakuya's fitting session had just finished as well.
"This one looks great… and this one's great too. Let's just buy them all."
Eto didn't hesitate one bit. She had her eyes on three different swimsuits and planned to buy them all.
"Alright, now it's your turn to help me pick."
Eto's lips curled slightly into a sly smile.
"Yeah."
To be honest, Byakuya was also a little excited to see Eto try on various swimsuits.
Eto's first choice was a rather revealing bikini.
Don't be fooled by her petite frame; her body's curves were actually quite graceful, and her long legs had perfect proportions.
Wearing a swimsuit, she naturally looked stunning.
Meanwhile, Enji Koma and Irimi Kaya were doing something similar, but for them, it was more about roasting each other.
"Looks decent, but your figure's a bit flat, huh?"
"You should be the one losing some weight. Don't turn from 'Demon Ape' into 'Fat Ape.'"
At this point, both Enji Koma and Irimi Kaya had changed into their swimsuits, but their comments were mainly aimed at dissing each other.
As for Roma, she could only ask Yomo Renji to give her some feedback.
"So, how do I look like this?"
Roma had already changed into her swimsuit as well.
Even though she was already over forty years old, her skin was still extremely well-maintained. Otherwise, no one would have failed to recognize her real age.
