Chapter 130 – Uta’s feelings
"I really have to keep a close eye on you two. Don't take out your diary copies, or I'll have to use my songs to teach you a lesson!"
Uta pointed to her eyes as she spoke to Tashigi and Hina. The two fell into silence again.
After a while, when the course was stabilized and Carina left the helm, Tashigi instinctively asked, "Where are we going?"
"Do you think I'd tell you that, Navy?" Carina shot Tashigi a glance before turning to Uta. "Uta, did you notice where Nami went?"
"She went to the cabin earlier, and now..." Uta raised an eyebrow, looking at the new content on her diary copy, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. "Just look at the diary~."
Carina frowned and quickly opened her diary copy. At this moment, a new photo had appeared in Arton's diary.
[Photo: Nami's Show!]
In the photo, Arton was sitting in the medicinal bath with his eyes slightly closed. Kaya, blushing, was behind him. Nami, having taken off her top, was sitting on the edge of the tub, with her legs in the water, smiling at Arton as if she was talking to him.
"That little thief cat, you really can't let your guard down around her for a moment," Carina said as her body turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared from the deck.
"Hehe, Nami and Carina really are a pair of rivals," Uta giggled. "With Nami around, Carina seems much more relaxed in front of Arton."
"She clearly has feelings for Arton," Uta said, propping her chin on her hands and smiling as she looked toward the cabin.
"And what about you? Do you have feelings for Arton, Red-Haired's daughter?" Hina squinted her eyes and stared intently at Uta.
"Trying to get information out of me?" Uta smiled as she glanced at Hina. "But, this bit of information isn't a big deal."
"Yes, I do have feelings for Arton," Uta admitted.
Hearing this, Hina continued, "In that case, aren't you going to pursue him? And don't you get jealous?"
Tashigi also looked at Uta curiously.
Uta smiled and said, "Although I have feelings for Arton, I want to follow my heart in my interactions with him. As for jealousy, hehe, Arton's diary has already shown me what kind of person he is. In such a case, if I still like him, there's no reason to be jealous, right? At worst, I'll just marry him along with Carina and the others. Yep! A whole ship of people living happily together is best."
After speaking, Uta nodded firmly. Hina and Tashigi couldn't help but admire Uta's broad-mindedness, truly befitting the daughter of Red-Haired.
"If you're so broad-minded, you wouldn't mind Arton having another woman, right?" Hina took a deep breath and said to Uta.
"From your tone, it sounds like you want to develop something with Arton?" Uta walked closer to Hina, looking at her with interest.
"Yes!" Hina nodded firmly.
"Is that so... What about you?" Uta turned to Tashigi.
"Eh?! Me?!" Tashigi was stunned.
"Hehe, completely different reactions. This is interesting. Come on, I'll take you to Arton. Let's see what kind of reaction you have then," Uta said, pulling Hina and Tashigi by their hands and heading toward Arton.
"Eh?! Do I... do I have to go too?" Tashigi thought about Arton soaking in the medicinal bath, and her face instantly turned as red as an apple.
"Of course, and by the way, how about I pick out a couple of nice outfits for you two?" Uta said, quickening her pace again. "If it were in my Uta world, I could help you change more easily. But since Arton is in the medicinal bath, let's use real clothes."

On the other side.
"Hey, Arton, do you think I look good like this?" Nami asked, sitting on the edge of the medicinal bath tub, her hand resting on Arton's shoulder, smiling.
"Yeah, you look good," Arton replied. "But I'm in a medicinal bath. Are you planning to join me? Didn't you see that Kaya is blushing?"
Arton glanced at Kaya, who smiled sheepishly. She wanted to leave and give Arton and Nami some space, but she needed to add new medicinal herbs to the bath occasionally, so she couldn't leave.
"Hehe, what's the problem?" Nami said, lifting her toes to touch Arton's leg. Although Arton had previously taken a photo of her and put it in his diary, one photo was clearly not enough for Nami.
She wanted more points. In fact, she wanted to get the Raiden Shogun template from Arton. Although she doubted whether she had the attributes to use the template, she wanted to try anyway.
"Nami, you're really bold for someone who met me less than a day ago," Arton said, looking at Nami's beautiful long legs.
"Captain Arton, when you saved me earlier, I promised to give you everything," Nami replied. "Besides, this is my first time doing something like this, and I will only ever do this for you."
Nami, recalling Arton's earlier comment about her being too open, wanted to show her devotion.
At that moment, the door to the bathhouse swung open. A figure flashed through the doorway and fell directly into Arton's bath, splashing water everywhere.
"Oh, it's you, Carina," Arton said.
"What's the matter? Do you also want to soak in the medicinal bath?" Arton asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Carina, who was sitting on his lap, also without her top. He took three photos of Carina from different angles.
"Yes, the potion that Kaya prepared is good for the body," Carina said with a smile, placing her hands on Arton's shoulders, blocking Nami from entering the water. She noticed the photos in the diary and gave Nami a provocative look, as if to say, "See, I got two more photos than you."
Seeing this, a vein popped out on Nami's forehead. "Sneaky fox!" she muttered to herself. She glanced at the size of the medicinal bath and said to Arton, "Captain, I think you should get a bigger medicinal bathtub. After hearing about its effects, I want to try it too~."
Behind them, Kaya's face was flushed red with embarrassment. 'My medicinal bath isn't meant for all of you to soak in together!'
