Mizuno Hiroki visits the island for the first time in four years during summer vacation to help his grandmother's shop. The story begins when he meets the beautiful blonde girl, Emily, on the deck of the ferry. Emily, who has run away, aims to retrieve a "treasure that sank in the sea." Childhood friend Chisa, who he reunites with on the island, says: "The ghost ship――that's what we call the sunken ship around here." She claims that there is a treasure that Emily seeks on a ship that disappears during storms. The beautiful blonde girl, Emily. The sun-kissed childhood friend, Chisa. In the rich natural southern sea, a summer of adventure begins as the two girls challenge scuba diving! Their goal is the legendary ghost ship, which lies beyond where the sky and sea meet――. --- **Characters** **Emily / Shirasu Emiri** (CV: Akari Kito) A girl in a sailor uniform with blonde hair and blue eyes. She met Hiroki on the ferry to the island, saying she is heading to Ogasawara, a place full of memories of her parents. Having come here almost as a runaway, she initially shows wariness towards those around her and is somewhat blunt. Occasionally, she seems troubled by something. However, her true nature is a bit shy but cheerful, often charging ahead with unfounded confidence. Although she is a beautiful girl raised as a lady with a good figure, she sometimes shows a regrettable side. By chance, she becomes a live-in part-timer at Hiroki's grandmother's café, "Café Machiko." A beginner at diving, she is afraid of sharks and can't swim. However, with everyone's encouragement and the help of a stray dolphin, she begins to overcome her fears. "I'm going to get it back. The important treasure that sank in the sea." --- **Chisa / Ogasawara Chisa** (CV: Yuki Takada) A local girl with a dazzling tan. She is Hiroki's childhood friend of the same age and the daughter of a diving shop on the island. She helps with dolphin swims and collects underwater mail as part of her job. Bright and active, she is a healthy girl with a good figure. She can easily make friends with anyone, but she also knows how to maintain a proper distance. Although she complains verbally, she can't ignore people in trouble and is very kind-hearted. She is an excellent swimmer and can hold her breath for quite a long time while free diving, thriving in the water. She often wears a swimsuit so she can dive anytime. She frequently swims with a stray dolphin named Q-Taro. There seems to be something from the past between her and Hiroki that she cannot express. "When summer ends, I'll be left behind again." --- **Hiroki / Mizuno Hiroki** During summer vacation, he visits his grandmother's house in Ogasawara for the first time in several years. He used to come every year as a child, but due to his parents' work, he couldn't visit during middle school. So, he came alone this year. It felt like a little journey of self-discovery, but he unexpectedly encounters a girl who is also searching for herself. He has a bright and easy-going personality, but he is quite particular about cooking. He hopes to become a chef and obtain a cooking license after graduating from high school. He is good at physical activities, likely due to being involved in sports clubs, and he swims proficiently. He has previously scuba dived with Chisa as his buddy. "I can't resist interesting things. It's a trait I inherited from my grandfather." --- **Chinami / Ogasawara Chinami** (CV: Yufuko Ohno) Chisa's younger sister, an indoor-oriented elementary school student. She is a pale child who spends too much time online, which is unusual for a kid from the island. Although she is in the fourth grade, she looks much younger. She has a cool and mischievous demeanor but is still a child. "I'm bored with island life. I'm seeking excitement." --- **Ryota / Ninomiya Ryota** (CV: Satoshi Murakami) Hiroki and Chisa's childhood friend, a slightly older fisherman. He has a cheerful personality and is good-natured, with a strong physique and skilled at operating boats. Fishing is his hobby, and he owns a special boat. "Hey, be careful. If you find treasure, be sure to share some with me." --- **Machiko / Mizuno Machiko** (CV: Saori Terai) Hiroki's grandmother, who runs a snack shop on the island but is considering closing it this year due to a foot injury and her age. She still holds affection for her late husband, who was an adventurer (self-proclaimed), and her motto is, "Life is an adventure." "A life without adventure is boring. Just do whatever you want." --- **Tourist Uncle / Funazuki** (CV: Takaki Obata) A tourist uncle wearing an aloha shirt. He occasionally appears before Hiroki, engages in small talk, and then leaves. He has a somewhat timid appearance but carries an air of mystery. "This is quite a laid-back island, isn't it?" --- **Q-Taro** (CV: Risa Kubota) A dolphin that has strayed from its pod and often stays with Chisa. It approaches her when she enters the water, showing affection, but it is also playful and likes to tease her. It often splashes water on humans unexpectedly.
