"Kireina…" Hydros muttered, embarrassed. "I'm really grateful you're spending so much time with us… But I sometimes worry though…"
She slowly kneeled, as she grabbed some colorful shells on the beach's shore.
"You worry?"

"Oooh?! I didn't know, well, that's sure convenient! I wish I could do that, hahaha!"
"Yeah."
I walked to her side, sitting over the sand, feeling the wet, cold sand below my buttocks.
"These are some pretty shells… They're all high-quality divine materials too."
"Rainbow Clam Shells and other subspecies, yeah, they wash ashore almost daily. If you leave a big one like this over here… And wait a bit."
