"So Wan Ye is here too? It seems today is really lively." Kokomi was a little surprised to see Wan Ye, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
Wan Ye nodded, "I met Xavier on the way. He happened to want to come here to gather inspiration and take photos."
"Photos?" Kokomi saw the large pile of equipment next to him.
"Oh, right, another task I have for this trip is to film videos for content. There's nothing that's not allowed to be filmed, right?"
Xavier picked up his camera and asked Kokomi.
Kokomi shook her head generously, "There's nothing that cannot be filmed, of course, except for very private places, like bathrooms and such."
Xavier really wanted to ask Kokomi, "Do I look like a pervert who doesn't know boundaries?"
How could he possibly film places like toilets and bathrooms? Was he that kind of person?
Of course, if it was Kokomi's bathroom, he might consider it…
It was already evening. Stepping out of Sangonomiya Shrine, they stood before the giant shell-shaped platform.
The distant sunset was incredibly enchanting, casting its light over the entire Haiqi Island.
The streams and seawater reflected the beautiful scenery before them, like a fairyland on earth.
"Haiqi Island is too beautiful! I couldn't even imagine such a beautiful place in my dreams…"
Xavier clicked his tongue. This place was truly intoxicating.
Sitting here would surely lift one's spirits and prolong one's life.
"If you like it, Xavier, I can take you around. I can also recommend good places for taking photos."
Kokomi proactively offered to take Xavier to shoot content together.
"That would be great!"
Xavier naturally agreed immediately. Such a good opportunity was not easy to come by.
Kokomi guided Xavier, while Xavier used his flying ability to carry Kokomi, soaring through the air.
The two continuously traveled under the sunset, going to every beautiful place.
During the process, Xavier even asked Kokomi to cooperate and appear in the shots, so that netizens could better understand that this was real-life filming!
"Eh, do I really have to be in the shot? But I don't have any experience in this area."
Kokomi was a little flustered when she learned she had to be in front of the camera.
"Oh, there are no special requirements. Just strike some poses casually, and talking casually is fine too. Just treat it as an everyday thing!"
To keep Kokomi from being too nervous, Xavier simply told her to act as usual.
So Xavier kept holding the camera and followed behind Kokomi. The two walked and chatted, recording all the beautiful scenery.
Xavier roughly looked through the footage and found the content to be quite perfect.
He had even thought of the title for this video.
[My Encounter with Kokomi Under the Sunset]
He believed many people would be interested in this title, and it didn't deviate from the theme of the story at all.
Standing on the cliff edge, a gentle breeze blew.
Kokomi's light clothing was lifted by the wind, fluttering in the air, swaying like a swimming fish.
This gave Xavier an even more special inspiration, so he asked Kokomi, "Kokomi, do you usually go swimming?"
"Swimming? Why do you ask that?" Kokomi, who was lost in thought, asked in surprise.
Xavier thought for a moment and said, "Because in the game, you can control water, and your lines also mention swimming fish in the sea, so I thought you must be very good at swimming, right?"
"Is that so…" Kokomi murmured to herself, "I do say those things, and I'm quite good with water, but I don't often go swimming."
Xavier paused, then asked, "If possible, can we go underwater together?"
"Underwater?" Kokomi seemed surprised that Xavier wanted to go to the bottom of the sea for filming content.
After a moment's thought, Kokomi agreed to Xavier's request.
"Since it's your request, Xavier, I don't see any reason to refuse."
"If you feel forced, then don't worry about it. These materials are already enough anyway."
Xavier was afraid Kokomi was only reluctantly agreeing.
"Of course not, because I also really want to see what I look like underwater, and if it's as wonderful as you described."
After all, Kokomi was also a beautiful girl, and she certainly had a certain pursuit and expectation for her own beauty.
In that case, both parties had achieved their goals.
Xavier once again soared with the wind, bringing Kokomi to the surface of the sea.
"Here we go!"
Xavier smiled faintly, then let go of her hand.
The moment he entered the water, Xavier suddenly felt that what he had just said sounded a little strange.
Never mind, no time to think too much, time to get to work!
When Xavier opened his eyes, he was already in the sea.
Unlike what he imagined, the underwater world wasn't clearly visible, but rather a bit dim.
Fortunately, both of them were controllers of the elements. With the help of elemental power, the somewhat dim underwater world instantly brightened up.
The fish around them were startled by the sudden light and scattered.
But some fish seemed naturally bold; after fleeing, they actually returned.
In the sea, Kokomi truly seemed like a fish, or more accurately, a mermaid.
She danced her body, constantly flipping and swimming in the water, incredibly agile.
Xavier enveloped his surroundings with his power to avoid choking on seawater and to protect his camera.
Following behind Kokomi, Xavier occasionally imitated her movements.
But he found his own body was stiffer than someone with a strong background, and he couldn't achieve Kokomi's graceful fluidity.
"Xavier, over here."
Kokomi waved to Xavier from ahead, pointing forward.
Xavier was very curious; Kokomi seemed to be taking him somewhere.
After swimming with Kokomi for a while, he indeed discovered a very special place.
There were many Seagrass here, of various colors, as if they had been painted.
There were also many corals growing on the seabed, with all sorts of marine creatures swimming and wandering among them.
The Seagrass grew upwards and swayed, as if they had a consciousness of their own.
"Wow, so beautiful…" Xavier murmured.
Haiqi Island above was already beautiful enough; he hadn't expected the seabed to also possess such stunning scenery.
Kokomi's body drew a beautiful arc in the water, then she came before Xavier.
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful here?"
"Although I haven't been here for a while, it hasn't changed at all."
Looking at the scenery before her, Kokomi seemed to calm down completely.
She closed her eyes and used her heart to feel everything around her.
The fish seemed not to notice Kokomi, continuously swimming around her.
Before long, Kokomi was enveloped by many small fish.
They surrounded Kokomi, as if guarding her.
Under the illumination of the light, it was so sacred, so serene.
