Elsewhere, in Kaya's bedroom.
"Wow, so it has this function too," Kaya marveled as she looked at the friends and groups in her diary replica. "From now on, no matter how far apart we are, we can still communicate through the diary copy, right?"
Kaya excitedly turned to Carina and Uta, but when she turned back, she noticed their gazes fixed on her chest.
"What… what is it?" Kaya raised her hands to cover herself.
Although they were both girls, their stares still made Kaya blush.
Uta, resting her chin on her hand, scanned Kaya with interest: "I just wanted to see the specifics of the powers you gained from Tsunade."
"Carina, were Kaya's breasts really not this big before she obtained Tsunade's template?"
After speaking, Uta looked curiously at Carina.
"Yes," Carina nodded affirmatively and said, "It's really surprising. Even without entering Tsunade's template mode, your body has maintained Tsunade's good figure."
"That's good, Arton likes this kind of thing," Carina remarked. "With you on the ship, I'll be able to relax a bit more."
Kaya blinked, puzzled, looking at Carina. However, she soon recalled the photos Arton often shared in his diary about Carina.
Among them, there were quite a few photos of Carina accidentally revealing a little too much, which Arton captured. There were even so pictures of Carina giving Arton a massage, which he sneakily took.
Carina's suggestion was clearly to have Kaya replace her in collaborating with Arton for the photoshoots.
Kaya's cheeks flushed red in an instant.
"Hehe, don't worry," Carina said. "Arton is generally a decent guy. You've seen my photos, right? Though so are a bit suggestive, they aren't overly revealing, are they?"
Kaya kept her head down, avoiding eye contact with Carina. She wasn't lying; the photos Arton shared, despite containing so "fan service," were not too explicit—even less revealing than swimwear. But still, the re thought was enough to make Kaya blush. Not to ntion, her mind couldn't help but think about Arton's comnts on her chest.
"Okay, Carina, our future ship's doctor seems a bit shy," Uta interjected with a smile. "Maybe you should ease up on those topics." Kaya gave Uta a grateful look.
But Uta wasn't done talking. What she said next left Kaya stunned.
"Well, it's understandable to feel shy if Arton's the one appreciating, but we're just us girls here. So, let us check out what made Arton's eyes widen," Uta said with a playful grin, her hands clawing at the air in front of Kaya.
Kaya was taken aback. "What?!"
Carina joined in, saying, "Exactly. And besides, your clothes don't seem to fit properly anymore. If you let us take a look, we can help you find sothing more suitable. If you're feeling too shy, we can even show you so of our own."
Carina's bravado was both surprising and irresistible. Despite being shy at first, after a bit of playful teasing, the atmosphere in the room lightened, and Uta and Carina were chatting like they'd known each other for years.
"Um!" Kaya placed her hands in front of her, her body slightly bent. She glanced at the bold and more revealing Carina, then at the neatly dressed Uta, and then, resigned to the situation, said:
"Aren't we supposed to be in this together? So why is it just and Carina like this?"
Hearing this, Uta seed taken aback, while Carina burst into laughter.
"Good point, we can't just leave Uta out."
"Kaya, co on, let's get Uta to join us."
With that, Carina imdiately moved to Uta's side and started playfully tickling her.
"Hey, Carina, I didn't agree to this!"
"Wait, let go of !"
Uta twisted and struggled as Carina playfully poked at her.
"I don't want to~." Carina shook her head, turning to Kaya, "Kaya, what are you waiting for? Don't you want to get back at her?"
Kaya looked at herself, then at Uta and Carina. After a deep breath, she joined Carina's side.
Initially, Kaya seed hesitant, but as ti passed, she loosened up, joyfully joining the playful banter. For soone who had been sick since childhood, monts like these with friends her age were rare and precious to Kaya.
Just then, a familiar voice rang out, catching Kaya, Uta, and Carina's attention.
"I'm back."
"Kaya, I noticed you changed after gaining Tsunade's power, so after handling Kuro, I went to a clothing store and got you so outfits that might fit better."
"But you'll have to try them on to be sure."
The three turned to see Arton perched on the open windowsill, smiling at them.
Kaya, Uta, and Carina glanced at each other and then at Arton, unsure how to respond. Arton, however, nonchalantly jumped into the room and kindly drew the curtains.
"It's normal for girls to have fun like this."
"Honestly, I envy you; it's nice to see you all getting along."
Arton tossed the package toward Kaya and took a seat on the nearby sofa.
"Kaya, Carina, Uta, carry on; don't mind ."
"Pretend I'm not here; I won't take it personally."
Arton gestured invitingly, his face showing a warm smile. anwhile, his diary got another entry.
