Playing house in the anime world

When Gojo Aiko found Naruto and Sasuke, they were at the waterfall.

There is an underwater pavilion on the waterfall on the cherry blossom forest side. The pavilion is very small and can only accommodate two or three adults. If it were for children, more children could sit in it. Apart from that, there is no place to put a stone table or stone bench.

However, the scenery above the pavilion is quite nice, though a little noisy, since there is a waterfall below.

"Sister Aiko!" Naruto was very happy to see Gojo Aiko coming alone, "Let's go on an adventure under the sea together!"

Aiko Gojo touched her chin and realized that she had never been to the bottom of the sea in detail. She had only been to the pineapple house that Saiki Kusuo often went to.

"We should choose a specific place first, otherwise we will drift on the seabed for months and still not be able to finish our journey." Gojo Aiko took out a guide to Meteor Garden, which listed all the places they knew so far. They had at least visited most of them in person, but they were more familiar with only a very small part of them.

However, they took photos of every place and marked the approximate location on the map, which can be said to be perfect for adventure.

Naruto looked at the thick guide book and scratched his head.

Aren’t all of them here?

He randomly opened a page and found that the entire page was about the same place. On the left was the name, the mark on the map and some simple introduction, and on the right was a photo.

It shouldn’t be too much from this point of view, he was even thinking about touring the entire Meteor Garden!

Then as he flipped through the pages, Naruto was dumbfounded.

Because he found that he wanted to go to every place!

What about underwater caves, underwater volcanoes, underwater ruins, big pineapple houses, bubble cities, huge coral houses...

"What is this submarine?" Sasuke took a liking to the "sightseeing submarine" at first sight because it looked very powerful in the picture.

"This submarine has no combat capability, it is simply used for viewing the scenery." Aiko Gojo remembered this submarine. She once used this submarine to watch a pirate ship passing by in her dream.

Lying in the submarine and watching the fish swimming outside through the glass skylight, you feel like you are taking an immersive tour of an aquarium.

But what fish you see is completely random and depends entirely on luck.

"It's super comfortable to sleep in it~" Gojo Aiko remembered that Hozuki and Saiki Kusuo also often went to this submarine. Because it was parked quietly on the seabed, it was difficult for ordinary people to go there, unless Gojo Aiko personally used her superpowers to send her there.

In short, it is super quiet there and no one will disturb you. Moreover, the submarine is actually just like a normal home, with a kitchen and a bathroom, except that the rooms are a little smaller.

To be precise, his room divisions are relatively small. The submarine is divided into two floors, with escalators for access. The space on the lower floor is relatively large, so it is divided into three parts, namely the kitchen, bathroom and a small living room.

The upper floor is basically only the size of a bed, so it is directly the bedroom, because it is only enough for one or two people to sleep.

In such a relatively narrow place, it is very nice to do something that requires quietness.

For example, sleeping, reading, daydreaming, etc.

Because there is a skylight above, you can open the skylight and see the fish outside through the glass, and you can do your own things when you close the skylight. After all, some fish are very curious and may keep looking at you through the glass.

So if you look up unexpectedly, you might meet a pair of fish eyes.

If you want to sleep, generally speaking you can just turn off the lights. After all, it is dark under the sea, so there is no need to close the windows and no light will come in.

It doesn’t matter if you occasionally encounter some large fish, or get entangled by a super-large octopus, because even if they try their best, they can’t destroy the submarine. After all, this is Meteor Garden.

Also, the submarine can be started, but since none of them know how to drive a submarine, if they really want to make the submarine move, Gojo Aiko can probably only use her superpowers.

"Can I catch fish?" Naruto felt that it was so boring to stay in the safe place on the bottom of the sea. It would be great if he could just swim directly on the bottom of the sea, chase the schools of fish and catch some fish.

"You can go to Bubble City, which is a city covered by mysterious bubbles. You can move freely in it, and you can wrap your body with the city's specialty bubbles. This way you can move freely in the sea, but as for catching fish..."

Aiko Gojo has never tried it, because the bubble is round and the whole person is inside the bubble. If you want to catch fish, don’t you have to put your hand out of the bubble?

Although the bubbles are very tough and will not break, you cannot stretch your hands out!

"I think this is fun too!" Naruto's eyes lit up instantly. He just wanted to have close contact with the fish in the sea like this. Although there was a layer of bubbles blocking it, it was almost the same!

So, the three of them discussed and decided to go to the bubble city first, then go out for an adventure wrapped in bubbles, swim all the way to the submarine, rest inside the submarine, and then go home when the play time is over.

Aiko Gojo used her superpowers to move the three people directly into the bubble city.

"Wow! An underwater city!" Naruto ran excitedly in the city. Being in the bubble city was really like being in a city on land!

"These buildings look a bit strange." Sasuke did not move, but stood still and looked around vigilantly.

"It shouldn't be a city inhabited by humans. Judging from the style, it could be a mysterious marine race like mermaids." Aiko Gojo has long thought these buildings are weird, but it doesn't matter because they don't live here. Usually they come to Bubble City just to grab their bubbles and go out and have fun.

"Where is Bubble?" Sasuke found that Naruto had disappeared. Fortunately, there was no one else here except them, so it was okay for him to run around.

"It's inside those coral-like things. See the hole on top? The bubbles come out from there!" Gojo Aiko went over to demonstrate. She stood in front of a red coral as tall as her. There was a hole on the coral, and a big transparent bubble gradually emerged from it, then wrapped up Gojo Aiko completely.

After the entire bubble was spit out, Gojo Aiko was wrapped in the bubble.

Aiko Gojo walked over calmly. You can still walk and move normally in the bubble city wrapped in bubbles. If you go to the sea outside the city, you need to swim in most cases.

Sasuke also found a coral and experimented with it, and soon he made a bubble.

"Where's Naruto? He's the only one left now." Sasuke looked left and right and found that Naruto had not come back yet.

"There is a huge house like a castle in this city. Most people can't help but want to go into the castle to take a look when they come here for the first time." Gojo Aiko couldn't remember whether she had dreamed of this bubble city. Generally speaking, all the buildings in Meteor Garden are the ones she had dreamed of, that is, some places in the other world she had visited in her dreams.

But later she found that there were too many buildings and various strange terrains in Meteor Garden. Although she dreamed every day, the locations in her dreams were often repeated.

Moreover, there are some subtle differences between the scenes in dreams and the scenes in reality.

For example, she had dreamed of a wisteria garden hundreds of times, which is the garden of the Ubuyashiki family, the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps. However, in reality, the garden of the real Ubuyashiki family is different from her wisteria garden.

It's a bit like when she copied someone else's yard and subconsciously made some modifications based on her own preferences.

Therefore, more than half of the buildings and scenes in Meteor Garden are ones that Gojo Aiko has never visited in her dreams.

Kusuo Saiki thought that maybe he had been there before Aiko Gojo was born when she was running around, after all, they had met in a dream before.

Or maybe she had been there during her "playing house". After all, Gojo Aiko's superpowers were just like those of a living being. When she went to the other world to recruit people, she definitely failed countless times. But despite the failures, it was certain that she had been to this other world.

Maybe it was at that time that some things from other people's world were copied.

Aiko Gojo felt something was wrong. Why did she feel that playing house had a bit of a sneaky vibe? If she couldn't get the person back, she could bring back something strange. She definitely couldn't return empty-handed, right?

However, this did add some novel experiences to them. After all, according to the original plan, all the buildings and scenes in Meteor Garden were ones that Gojo Aiko had visited before, and were even quite familiar with them.

But now that there are a lot of things that Gojo Aiko has no memory of, their adventure experience has been greatly enhanced.

It's just that sometimes you might accidentally step on a landmine.

For example, the castle in this bubble city.

The reason why Aiko Gojo guessed that the people living in this bubble city might be mermaids was because after she entered the castle, she found that the internal structure of the castle was very strange. She walked in a few steps and suddenly felt that she had forgotten which door she had just come from.

Because there are doorways everywhere in this castle, and there are no floors, you can see the roof just by looking up, and the foundation just by looking down. However, there are many pillars connected to the walls, and there are holes on the pillars. Various pillars and walls are connected, making the inside like a maze.

Theoretically there is only one floor, but after entering it is a little hard to tell the directions. He also made the structure in every direction exactly the same, which means that every side of the castle is exactly the same, and the number and structure of doors and windows are exactly the same.

The most important thing is that if you are not careful when you go in, there is a high probability that you will step on empty space because there is no space below.

(This bubble city is not a city in any anime. I made it up by combining the characteristics of mermaid settlements in anime with mermaid elements.)

The only reference is probably the throne in the center of the castle. Directly opposite the throne is naturally the main gate you entered at the beginning. Of course, if you came in from the gate in other directions, then this cannot be counted.

In short, if Aiko Gojo bets that Naruto will take a bite of strawberry, he will definitely run into the castle excitedly to take risks, and then fall down with a plop.

If he didn't pay attention to the environment, he might find himself lost again after climbing up.

However, he felt that with Naruto's personality, he would most likely just pick a door and rush out without thinking twice.

So she thought that they could wait here, maybe after a while Naruto would come running back and tell them that he had found a castle and encountered danger after entering.

But fortunately, Naruto was smart, brave and invincible! He escaped safely soon!

After listening to Gojo Aiko's explanation, Sasuke was speechless.

However, he did not plan to go into the castle to rescue Naruto, as he would definitely be able to crawl back by himself.

After all, they are ninjas after all. Although they are still super rookie ninjas who have just started learning, at least their physical fitness is very good.

So even if Naruto fell down, he would definitely be able to climb out quickly!

He would not go to the scene to watch and laugh.

Not long after, Naruto's figure appeared not far away, but what was surprising was that he was wrapped in bubbles!

"Have you told him how to use bubbles before?" Sasuke remembered that Gojo Aiko didn't seem to have told him before?

"No." Gojo Aiko shook her head. "Maybe he discovered it himself."

After all, these corals will spit bubbles on their own even if no one is standing in front of them. However, if no one uses those bubbles, they will soon merge into the big bubble covering the bubble city.

So if you observe carefully, you can actually find out how to use these bubbles.

Since there is no one in the bubble city, you may need to experiment yourself to find out that people can be wrapped in bubbles.

"Hehehe! Look what I found?!" Naruto said proudly, "I got the bubble from Coral!"

"Is this what took you so long?" Sasuke was still thinking about the castle.

Have you ever rushed into the castle out of curiosity and accidentally fell down?

"Uh... I found a big castle over there!" Naruto scratched his head, "Hey, treasures are usually hidden in places like that, right? So I went in to take a look!"

"Then what?" Gojo Aiko didn't expect that her guess was so accurate. She just didn't know whether Naruto really missed a step and fell down.

"As soon as I entered, I fell into a trap!" Naruto said in fear, "Luckily I was agile and climbed out in no time!"
