"Put your towel on when you get out of the water!" Orange Masamune finished with a sigh.

This was not the first time he had admonished the Uesugi family head to pay attention to this aspect. Because of her young mental age, she didn't seem to have learned to distinguish between the sexes, nor did she know what kind of stares she would attract by exposing herself to the opposite sex. One year the family gathered at a hot spring, and in front of the elders, the kimono-clad Uesugi family head suddenly opened the sliding door and leaped up in the air, and people only saw a kimono fall to the ground, and the next moment the naked one had jumped into the hot spring outside the house and was coiling her long hair in the water. From the watchful fighters to the elders of the family, they were all struck by her bright natural beauty and forgot to look away for a while. Orange Masamune could only remind these people of their manners by heavily poking the ground with the hilt of his sword, while Genchiyo quickly ran out of the house to pick up the kimono and spread it to cover the sight of everyone.

"If I die one day, only Wakasa will be able to watch over you, right?" Orange Masamune shook his head.

The Uesugi housemaster took off her headphones and set them aside, walking under the shower to turn on the bronze faucet and rinse the foam out of her hair, which was a rare dark red color. She opened her trunk, put the little yellow duck inside, and took out the red and white witch costume. This traditional costume consisted of myriad jacket tabs, a white coat, and a scarlet hakama with red silk strings braided around the cuffs and bodice. After putting on the witch costume she put her headphones back on and, after some thought, took out the little yellow duck and snuck it into her skirt. Her dress is sewn full of pockets, stuffed with such and such small things.

The white yacht is undulating in the high tide, with the silver "orange" emblem on the bow. Masamune and Kotaro sat opposite each other drinking tea, while black-clad bodyguards were spread across the bow and stern of the boat, with black sheathed swords at their waists.

The Uesugi family head boarded the deck, still smelling of shampoo. Although the other party was a young girl, the three great family heads had a slightly higher status than the five small family heads, and the surname Uesugi had a higher status in the family than the Wind Demon family, which was known for training ninjas.

"Come to my side and let me see." Tangerine Masamune said.

The Uesugi family head knelt on the cushion in front of Tangerine Masamune, but instead of looking at him, he looked to his left and right, like a child forced by his parents to sit there and do his homework.

"Got to work hard on you." Orange Masamune stroked the top of her head, "I wish I could go instead of you, but I don't have your ability. All you have to do is cut off everything, even that road to Yellow Springs, got it?"

The Uesugi family head stretched out her fingers and drew a circle on the heart of Orange Masamune's hand, about to show that she understood, but then her hand retracted back into her large sleeve, revealing only her slender fingers. She took off her clogs and put them aside, and jumped into the yacht-side dinghy wearing only white socks, in which she was sitting alone. The black-clad bodyguards untied the cable, and the waves pushed the dinghy to separate from the yacht. The black-clad bodyguards untied the cable and the waves pushed the boat to separate from the yacht. The Uesugi family head was lowered and he ignored him, but Tangerine Masamune grabbed the cable to prevent the dinghy from leaving. After a half-minute standoff, the Uesugi family head fished a PSP out of his skirt and handed it to Tangerine Masamune, looking away from him.

"This is a big matter for the future of the family, don't always think about playing." Orange Masamune admonished helplessly.

The dinghy with a white watermark sailed to the end of the sea level where there is light, where the lights are transparent as if the palace in the sea floating up, the operation of the Sumeru seat issued a loud boom.

"Depth 30 meters, the flow rate is stable, the Diecast is operating normally," Caesar reported the situation to the surface commander Minamoto Wakizashi while manipulating the antique-grade deep diving equipment.

Lu Mingfei looked up through the top observation window, the last light was concentrated in the center of the field of view, surrounded by blue-black seawater, a shimmering light seemed to be projected down from an upside-down well in the sky, and the deep submersible sank as if in a well, and the moment it was completely submerged in darkness, Lu Mingfei gently winced.

Gen Wisheng said the polar abyss is a very special place, 8 kilometers thick seawater to isolate there and the world, the bottom is less than 1 kilometer from the mantle layer, the mantle layer of liquid rock running like a big fiery red river, almost no life can survive there, that is the world's loneliest hatchery. But only by following the deep submersible down and feeling the lights of the Sumeru above grow dimmer and dimmer, and finally, the darkness swallowing everything up, can one truly feel the loneliness of being away from the world. Their journey had only gone the length of 130, and Lu Mingfei already wanted to return to the ship, too lonely to resist the urge to say something to warm himself.
