"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Tears' blue and white apron swimsuit looked exceptionally dreamlike in the shimmering underwater light.

"Crack!"

With another snap of the fingers, the scene transformed into the edge of a tropical waterfall pool, lush and verdant, with mist rising from the water.

"It feels cool and refreshing, this is definitely not an illusion..."

In early spring, a small figure sits on a stone by the clear water, barefoot lightly touching the surface, exuding the tranquility of a rainforest sprite.

"Crack!"

The scene transforms into a magnificent courtyard hot spring in the style of ancient Rome. Kuroko is practically "hanging" on Misaka Mikoto, their swimsuits creating a striking and sexy contrast. Their body language is filled with Kuroko's twisted love and Mikoto's helplessness, creating a highly dramatic scene.

"Crack!"

The scene changes to the deck of a luxury yacht. Photon leans gracefully against the railing, her bright red swimsuit standing out against the azure sea. She points into the distance with a folding fan, her smile sweet.

Meanwhile, Kofumi was lying on a chair to the side, her languid expression giving her a unique charm.

"Crack!"

The scene is set near a floating iceberg in the Arctic. Pao Fu Wanbin and Wan Nei Jinbao are huddled together, seemingly a little cold, their yellow-green and blue-black swimsuits standing out vividly against the icy backdrop.

Each snap of Higashino's fingers became a switch for scene transitions. Each transition captured a moment of different styles, showcasing the unique characteristics and charm of the girls.

Soon, Higashino collected some very good photos to keep as souvenirs.

"Next up! Commemorative group photo!"

Higashino patted his chest and smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"How could such an important swimsuit memory be complete without the male lead?"

These words created a subtle atmosphere.

The girls' reactions varied, but none explicitly objected; some were shy, while others were eager to try.

"Tears, come here!"

Higashino waved to Asa Tenriko first.

"Eh? Me? Okay, senior!"

Leizi ran over with a big smile, without any hesitation.

"How about... um, lifting me up high?"

"no problem!"

Higashino easily lifted Ruiko up, and Ruiko obediently opened her arms, her laughter clear and bright like the sunshine.

Click!

The background shifts instantly to a summer countryside filled with giant sunflowers. Girls in blue and white swimsuits float in the air, radiating youthful energy.

After taking several photos with Ruiko in various poses, Higashino walked towards early spring.

"Early spring, it's your turn."

Higashino lowered his voice and moved much more gently.

He reached out his hand, and Chu Chun blushed. After hesitating for a moment, she gently placed her hand on his.

Higashino scooped her up in a princess carry. Chuchun gasped, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his chest.

"Crack!"

The background is a pink cherry blossom rain, the scene is beautiful and romantic, and the orange-yellow swimsuit skirt looks especially gentle among the petals.

"Is this alright, senior?"

Being carried in a princess carry in front of so many people, she couldn't possibly be as calm as she was when Leizi was lifted high in the air.

"Yes, the photos are perfect."

After early spring, it's Mikoto's turn next.

She crossed her arms, her face slightly flushed: "Hey, take it easy..."

Whether it was Ruiko lifting her up high or Haru's princess carry, Mikoto felt too embarrassed, but she also had a little bit of anticipation.

"Then... how about dancing a waltz?"

Higashino raised an eyebrow and made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.

"Who...who wants to dance with you!"

Mikoto retorted verbally, but still obediently moved her feet forward a little.

"come on."

Without saying a word, Higashino grabbed her hand and placed his other hand on her waist.

Mikoto awkwardly spun around in place with him for a couple of steps, her body stiff, her face showing feigned composure and barely concealed shyness.

Click!

Against a backdrop of a star-studded Milky Way night sky, a figure in a backless black swimsuit dances under the starlight, exuding a rebellious yet mysterious beauty.

Shirai Kuroko practically teleported up: "Onee-sama, you're done filming? It's my turn! Onee-sama, don't be jealous! I'm just recording some necessary information!"

Kuroko was amazed by the photos taken by the people in front of her. Although she didn't want to be so close to Higashino in front of her older sister, it was a necessary sacrifice for art.

"Who would be jealous!"

Without a word, Kuroko jumped up, wrapped her legs around Higashino's waist, and tightly hugged his neck, clinging to him like a koala!

Click!

Against the backdrop of a burning, flaming volcano, Kuroko, dressed in barely any clothing and straps, tightly embraces Higashino in a bold pose that is sure to get your blood pumping.

This scene made Mikoto sigh and rub her forehead, feeling that something was off about Kuroko, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

After the wedding, Mitsuko gracefully stepped forward, opened her folding fan, and said, "It is my honor to take a photo with Mr. Higashino. Please make sure to capture a classic aristocratic pose."

Higashino extended his arm in cooperation, and Mitsuko gently placed her right hand, which was covered by a thin glove, on it. She slightly raised her swan-like neck, revealing the delicate and beautiful profile and the alluring knot design on her back.

Click!

The backdrop is the luxurious Hall of Mirrors at Versailles Palace; the red dress is fiery red, exuding the aura of a wealthy young lady.

When it was Kofumi's turn, she became visibly nervous, unsure of where to look.

"Relax a bit, stick to the rules."

Higashino walked to her side, without making any particularly intimate gestures, but simply stood sideways, his shoulder brushing against her arm.

Thinking of something, he lowered his head slightly and whispered something in her ear, causing Gu Fa Meiwei's cheeks to instantly turn bright red.

Click!

The backdrop is a seawall at dusk, with the two standing side by side. Their polka-dot swimsuits accentuate their mature curves, and the afterglow of the setting sun elongates their silhouettes, creating an ambiguous yet tranquil atmosphere.

After taking all the individual "couple photos," Higashino looked at the girls surrounding him, dressed in various beautiful swimsuits, and admired the blushes that remained on their faces after their intimate interaction.

His gaze swept over Mikoto's slightly displeased pursed lips, Kuroko's lingering satisfaction, Mitsuko's contented smile, Kofumi's shyly lowered head, and Ruiko and Hatsuharu still excitedly discussing the positions they had just been in...

That great idea from before resurfaced in his mind.

Chapter 187 Treasure Hunt and the Secret of the Law: Miwei and Kuroko's Spying

The morning's shooting session finally came to an end. Higashino collected a lot of great photos and was very satisfied.

The girls in swimsuits were a little tired, but their spirits remained high. Just as everyone's stomachs started to rumble, Higashino clapped his hands again with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's lunchtime!"

His gaze swept over the girls, each with their own unique appearance, and he continued:

"However, today's lunch is special, it's a 'treasure hunt picnic'!"

He snapped his fingers, and the surroundings changed once again.

This time, everyone stood on the beach, with the boundless sea behind them and lush green forest in front.

"We're on a small island now, and I've made some treasure chests. The contents of the chests... well, random! It could be fresh, top-quality beef, a bag of pasta, vegetables and fruits, cooking utensils, or even... just a roll of plastic wrap."

Higashino shrugged. There were actually some stranger things, but there was no need to say them in public.

"It all depends on luck! We'll eat whatever we find, and if we don't find anything? Hmm... then everyone'll have to go hungry this afternoon."

Everyone had gotten used to the changes in the environment, but this kind of random and fun arrangement immediately ignited the girls' enthusiasm.

Wow! A treasure hunt! That sounds so interesting!

Ruiko was the first to respond, her eyes sparkling. She loved these kinds of adventures and treasure-hunting activities.

"An adventure? I can't wait! I wonder what interesting things we'll find."

Chu Chun also chimed in quietly, expressing her interest in the activity.

Mikoto, hands on her hips, exclaimed, "Interesting! It's just finding something, easy!"

"Hehe, for my sister's lunch, Kuroko will definitely find the finest ingredients!"

Shirai Kuroko was instantly filled with a sense of mission.

"Hehehe! In a treasure hunt, how could I possibly fall behind!"

After the wedding, Mitsuko's eyes were filled with excitement, clearly showing that she was very interested.

Bubble and Bay also exchanged a smile and glance, revealing eager expressions.

Looking at the joyful scene before her, Kofumi smiled gently: "That sounds quite challenging."

"So, for the sake of efficiency."

Higashino made the announcement directly.

"We'll fight our own battles, and our objective is to fill everyone's stomachs! Once we find the items, we'll regroup in the central open area. Ready to begin?"

"oh--!"

The girls responded in unison, their voices full of energy. They immediately scattered like a bunch of happy little devils, each with their own purpose and expectations, giggling and laughing.

Higashino watched their joyful figures disappear into the distance, smiled, and casually chose a direction to stroll in.

The treasure chest was randomly generated by him. Even he, unless he cheated to sense the exact location of the treasure chest, would not know its exact location or what was inside.

While searching, Higashino could occasionally hear the excited shouts of girls not far away.

"Hey! I found a pot!" (Raiko's voice) "This treasure chest contains... salmon?!" (Awafuu's voice) "Huh, what's this black, hammer-like thing?" (Hatsuharu's puzzled voice)

However, as Higashino went further and further away, the girls' voices gradually disappeared.

Higashino's luck seemed to be running out. After walking along a winding path for half a day, he parted a huge banana leaf and found only a small treasure chest nestled in a tree root hollow. Upon opening it, he found a bright red apple lying quietly inside.

"It's an apple. Looks like I'll have to be Adam in the Garden of Eden today?"

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, picked up the apple, and weighed it in his hand.

But where is my 'Eve'?

Just then, a rustling sound came from under another tall palm tree nearby.

"anyone there?"

Higashino asked.

The figure behind the tree seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly emerging.

It is Gu Fameiwei.

Her hands were empty, and her face showed a hint of confusion and helplessness.

"Higashino-kun...it's you."

Kofumi had actually noticed that it was Higashino who was there a while ago, since she had arrived several minutes earlier than him.

However, she didn't want to appear too close to Higashino on this occasion, so apart from the necessary contact during photo shoots, she didn't talk to him much.

"I... I don't think I'm very good at treasure hunting. I've gone around in circles and haven't found anything yet."
