Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 643 - 274 Looking Up at the Milky Way from the Water

"The Inverted Star Lake Sword Fighting competition was in full swing, drawing numerous tourists to the once-quieter 'Redstone Valley' space station. During downtime from the matches, many visitors also strolled through the station, admiring the exquisitely decorated scenes within the space."

After entering the finals, Tilan actually felt more relaxed as she became familiar with the competition schedule. During the day, she, Efnie, and Wei Ke walked through the space station and browsed various shops.

"Shall we go check out the swimming pool on the top floor?" Efnie suggested, pointing to a recommended location on her personal terminal.

'Red Pine Forest Swimming Hall': Featuring twelve large rooms, where you can swim to your heart's content while admiring the distant stars. The rooms house special plantings of red pines, creating beautiful scenery…

Swimming, huh, she pondered, not particularly averse to the idea. However, when it came to swimming, she'd rather lie in the water and sleep soundly, as being in the water gave her a sense of serene isolation from the world.

Seeing Tilan nod, the others were also quite enthusiastic. It wasn't that the swimming hall here was better than the Four-leaf Crystal, but the experience of swimming under the stars was indeed fresh and exciting.

The girls headed to the top floor of the space station, made a reservation with their cards, and entered a private swimming hall.

"Speaking of which, have you guys picked out your swimsuits?" Tilan suddenly thought of this issue.

"I have one in my luggage, an Autonomous Unit will deliver it shortly," Efnie said as if it were a given.

"What about Wei Ke?" The girl turned to the other girl with black hair.

"I brought one too," she nodded, answering succinctly.

"Eh?" The girl blinked. Do you guys always bring swimsuits when you go out? She couldn't help wanting to ask.

"Don't you have one, Tilan?" Efnie perceived Tilan's dilemma.

"I do, but it's back at school. I didn't bring it with me." Who would bring that on a trip, she complained in her mind.

"How about I lend you mine~" Efnie said teasingly.

"Forget it." Efnie was bustier than her, it would be better not to wear hers, the girl shook her head.

"Then let's go buy one now~" Efnie suggested, her interest piqued by the idea of picking one out for her shy friend.

"Um, okay," she agreed, feeling a bit self-conscious about such things. But she was almost 18, after all, and wanted to be a bit bolder, not appearing too timid or awkward.

Suppressing her embarrassment, Tilan followed Efnie to a clothing store on the commercial street, with Wei Ke quietly walking behind them.

Looking at the lightweight swimsuits illuminated by the store's lights, the girl felt a bit shy to examine them closely.

Too revealing, too little fabric. Besides, her only swimsuit, which was a conservative one-piece, was tailor-made for her by Deloris.

"How about this one~" Efnie held up a swimsuit to Tilan's front, indigo blue fabric with white lines, a separate style that just covered the essentials.

"No," Tilan waved her hand in refusal.

She really couldn't stand it after all. The girl thought about how she would look after putting on the swimsuit and felt a chill, with no sense of security at all.

"Find me a more conservative one, please." She regretted agreeing to go to the swimming pool for fun.

"Ah, I see." Efnie sighed and then selected a one-piece swimsuit for her.

After paying for the swimsuit, the three of them headed back to the swimming pool on the top floor.

First, they took a quick shower, then Tilan put on the ice-blue swimsuit. She adjusted it slightly to make sure it wasn't too tight, and then looked at herself in the mirror.

Her black hair wasn't very thick and fell evenly over her shoulders and neck. The delicate straps crisscrossed at the back of her neck, tied in a simple bow. The large open area on her back revealed the girl's fair and smooth skin, with a hint of her waist's curve visible. Her legs were shapely, her abdomen was modestly covered by the swimsuit, and her chest's contour, while not as pronounced as Efnie's and certainly not as voluptuous as Deloris's, struck a balance between girlish and just right, with no excess flesh, healthy looking.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Tilan then opened her eyes and wrapped a towel around herself before stepping out.

At this time, Efnie was already swimming in the water, while Wei Ke sat on a beach chair by the poolside eating a popsicle, the crisp sound of biting into the ice occasionally breaking the silence.

"Tilan's finally ready," Efnie said, standing up from the water and causing a splash, then she shook her head, and steam rose around her face, which quickly dried her complexion and hair.

She came over to the edge of the pool, rested her head on her arms, and looked at Tilan, making her feel a little embarrassed and turn her face away.

"Tilan is still shy~" Efnie said with a chuckle, covering her mouth to laugh.

"Come on in, let's swim together." The Goldfish Princess of flame was not only an expert at playing with fire but was also exceptionally good at swimming. In the water, she was like a real goldfish, her golden-red hair undulating, looking extraordinarily beautiful.

"Yeah."

The girl gave a soft reply and sat at the edge of the water, first tentatively stretching her legs into the water. She wanted to get used to it, but Efnie caught her and tickled the soles of her feet, causing her to burst into laughter and try to retract her toes. However, after a bit of a struggle, Efnie still dragged her into the water.

After some floundering and splashing, the two finally started swimming properly, enjoying this moment of relaxation.

After swimming for a while, resting on a floating board in the water, Tilan gazed up at the starry sky above. The ceiling made of transparent metal glass allowed them to see space almost without obstruction. When her peripheral vision traced no more of the room's structure, her entire view was filled with stars, making it feel as if she were floating in the vast expanse of space.

Distant and eternal twinkling stars seemed less grand from this vantage point than they did from the ground. The pale yellow halo of the nearby sun was still conspicuous, but it didn't appear as large, merely bigger than the volume of the surrounding stars.

Her inner peace settled slowly. Her mind drifted to many things, yet at the same time, it felt like she was thinking of nothing, just quietly watching the resplendent, boundless starry sky.

Time marched ceaselessly forward: childhood, early years, school days, the present, and perhaps whatever the future holds. Even though there were experiences she hadn't yet had, the flood of various artistic works of her time left no shortage of premonitions about the future.

It would probably be a routine of going to work, getting married, raising a family, toiling about, and then one day, looking back almost inadvertently, to find that the time and youth had slipped away, replaced by monotonous, repetitive days.

Perhaps one day when she grew old, her body worn and less agile, no longer possessing her healthy, youthful Status, she'd find herself lying in a sun-dappled courtyard, quietly watching the sunset, her thoughts coming to a gradual standstill.

Death is truly frightening; never again to see the world, never again to know what happened next, never to wake up to a new day. Everything would slowly be forgotten, and even civilizations come to an end eventually, with individual histories inevitably buried among all the dust and grains of sand, unknown to anyone.

There was an instinctual sadness, yet a profound calm as well. Lying on the water's surface, the girl slowly fell asleep, letting her body rise and fall lightly with the gentle waves of the pool, as if drifting through the boundless expanse of space.
