Today was another fine day... after all, today was actually the same day as the previous few days. The sunshine of the past few days had been so bright, the sea so vast, so today was naturally the same. Besides, the sea breeze was really strong...
Zeyan and Yoimiya met on the deck.
As soon as they met, Yoimiya's eyes widened. "Zeyan! I told you it had nothing to do with me! I didn't cause this time loop. The problem is definitely with you! You kept insisting the problem was with me. Now, in the face of the facts, you should understand the situation, right? Next, you should think carefully about what your regret is. I don't want to stay in this time loop any longer. I still want to go back to Narukami Island!"
Zeyan spread his hands. "Is that so? But I still don't think I have any regrets. Miss Yoimiya, why don't you think carefully about whether you have any other regrets?"
Yoimiya gritted her teeth and said, "You still think the problem is with me? Humph, it's come to this, and you still won't admit the problem is with yourself?"
Zeyan affirmed, "Of course I'm sure the problem isn't with me. Miss Yoimiya, why don't you think more carefully about whether you have any other regrets?"
Seeing Zeyan's certainty, Yoimiya curled her lip and said, "If the problem really isn't with you, then how come you can retain your memories in the time loop? Do you think that's reasonable? I think the answer is very obvious, isn't it? It's very unreasonable. The fact that you can retain your memories precisely points to some issues, so don't try to argue."
Seeing Yoimiya looking at him intently, Zeyan was speechless, because what Yoimiya said made a lot of sense.
He wondered if he should fabricate a regret and then resolve it. Otherwise, just having Yoimiya recall whether she had any regrets probably wouldn't work.
Thinking of this, Zeyan pondered and said, "Speaking of which, it seems I do have a regret I want to deal with."
Hearing this, Yoimiya's eyes lit up. "What is it? What is it? I told you there was definitely a problem with you! Hurry up and tell me your regret. I'll help you resolve it."
Zeyan deliberately said in a heavy tone, "My regret might come from a feeling of envy."
Yoimiya tilted her head, not quite understanding Zeyan's meaning, and gestured for him to continue.
Zeyan had already thought of an excuse in his mind and replied, "Miss Yoimiya, as you can see, I'm an adventurer, a poor soul wandering all over the continent. Along the way, I've witnessed many things and have increasingly come to understand the loneliness of taking care of myself. This loneliness is often felt even more acutely when I see others being cared for. If possible, how much I wish I could also receive warm and thoughtful care from someone else."
Yoimiya: "???"
She inexplicably felt that something was a bit off.
Zeyan continued, "I'm about to go to Narukami Island. I think I'll definitely witness even more similar things there, right? If so, what a painful and cruel thing that will be for me. Maybe it's because of this that when I subconsciously developed feelings of resistance, time stopped moving forward."
Yoimiya was a bit dazed, her golden eyes wide. "Is that really it? Why do I feel like you're trying to trick me?"
Zeyan said seriously, "I'm not tricking you, Miss Yoimiya. This is my inner regret. It's just that, as you can probably see, it's a rather embarrassing thing to talk about, so I didn't want to say it before. But now that things have come to this, I don't think I can avoid saying it anymore."
Yoimiya felt a bit of a headache. "How can such a regret of yours be resolved? By taking care of you? If it's to solve the time loop problem, I don't mind taking care of you, but will it really work?"
Zeyan nodded affirmatively. "I think it will work, especially if you wear a maid outfit, the effect might be even better... Don't look at me with that sudden change in your eyes. When it comes to taking care of someone, isn't thinking that wearing a maid outfit would be more effective a reasonable idea? Even if you've always lived in Inazuma, you should be familiar with maid outfits, right?"
Yoimiya looked at Zeyan suspiciously. "There are no maid outfits on the ship, so your wish can't be fulfilled. By the way, is that really your regret? Isn't it just an excuse to try and tease me?"
Zeyan made his eyes appear incredibly sincere and said, "Miss Yoimiya, you are trapped in this day and want to break free and move forward. I feel the same way. No one wants to be stuck on the same day forever, right? Especially when the scope of this day is limited to this ship, it becomes even more unbearable."
Hearing Zeyan's words, Yoimiya felt he had a point. If that was the case, she probably did need to take good care of him, though only in a normal way.
Yoimiya thought for a moment and then said to Zeyan, "If that's the case, I will help you resolve your regret. But before that, isn't there something else you need to take care of first?"
Zeyan asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Yoimiya said matter-of-factly, "Talk to Ayaka's dad about education, of course."
Zeyan's eyes widened. "Still need to educate him? Yesterday I talked for several hours before he found it reasonable! That's not an easy task."
Yoimiya giggled. "Of course I know it's a rather tiring thing to do, but think about it. Because of the time loop, Ayaka's dad has already forgotten what you said yesterday, which means it hasn't had any lasting effect. In this situation, if time moves to the next day, wouldn't everything have been in vain? So I think every few time loops, you'll need to educate him again. Do you understand, Zeyan?"
Zeyan immediately put on a pained expression.
Yoimiya, however, smiled happily. If she used this to force Zeyan to educate Ayaka's dad every time the time loop occurred, Yoimiya felt that Zeyan would definitely do his best to resolve the time loop issue as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer the time loop lasted, the more painful it would be for Zeyan, right?
Yoimiya said with a smile, "So, Zeyan, are you sure the regret you just mentioned is your real regret? If not, then you'll have to educate him again tomorrow."
Zeyan: "..."
He felt like he was doomed.
