Why is the Demon King like this?

Keisuke Ao changed his clothes quickly, but he just added a pair of swim trunks under his beach shorts. He didn't really care whether his beach shorts and t-shirt would get wet later.

When she went out, Arisugawa Asuka put on a thin vest—she still felt a little shy about the distance between the hostel and the beach.

In addition, she also carried another small crossbody bag made of transparent plastic, which could be effectively waterproofed once sealed.

She put both her and Keisuke Ao's phones inside.

"Just ask me for it when you need it, Qinggui-kun."

"Um."

The bag also contained sunscreen spray and diving goggles, highlighting the thorough preparation of a Yamato Nadeshiko.

Keisuke Ao nodded, feeling the increasingly distinct sea breeze in the air, and quickened his pace.

Before entering the beach, they rented a parasol, a deck chair, a surfboard, and a volleyball. Aokiji easily carried all the items over in one trip, leaving the shop owner dumbfounded.

"Qinggui-kun, wait for me~!"

Asuka Arisugawa chased after him, clutching a volleyball.

Stepping on the fine, white sand, the sea breeze caresses your face. Looking out, the nearly 30-kilometer-long coastline is wide and clean, with the sea and sky merging into one line, and waves crashing against the shore one after another.

There are already quite a few surfing enthusiasts in the water.

Keisuke Ao took a deep breath. The temperature on the beach wasn't too high yet, and there weren't too many tourists—the peak time was in the afternoon.

Keisuke Ao chose a quiet spot to set up camp, and Asuka Arisugawa helped unfold a recliner.

"Qinggui-kun, you're incredibly strong?!"

Arisugawa could only lift one deck chair by himself; that was the limit.

"After all, I exercise every day."

After setting up the parasol and inserting the surfboard behind the chair, Aokiji checked the surroundings before comfortably lying down on the chair to enjoy the sea breeze and waves.

"It's normal to have strength."

"is that so?"

"Otherwise, what do you think there are superhuman strongmen or supernatural powers in the world?" Qing Guijie asked.

"Seriously!"

Asuka Arisugawa smoothed her wind-blown hair, sat sideways on the chair, and looked charmingly reproachful.

Even now, she still feels a little disoriented, as if in the blink of an eye, she has flown from her apartment to the beach in Chiba Onjuku.

Qinggui's initiative is surprisingly high.

She glanced furtively at the boy whose eyes were already half-closed, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, deciding not to think too much about it anymore; after all, she was already here.

Adjust your mindset and enjoy this trip!

She took out her phone and took pictures of the sky and the sea for her mother—she had been threatened to take them that morning, but thankfully Mrs. Arisugawa didn't know that she had come out alone with Keisuke Ao.

I also secretly took a few pictures of Keisuke Ao... well, these were taken for Yuki Ayam.

She lay back in the chair, phone in hand, a faint smile playing on her lips.

I felt a sense of joy as I gained a deeper understanding of Keisuke Ao.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Qing Guijie took off his short-sleeved shirt, picked up his surfboard, and prepared to try out the water.

Although it was his first time, maintaining his balance was no challenge for him.

Asuka Arisugawa quietly took out her phone again, preparing to save some precious images of Yuki.

Keisuke Ao stretched his body at the junction of the sea and the beach, and took the opportunity to observe the shape of the nearby waves.

Thanks to the wide coastline, surfers can easily find their own comfort zone without having to squeeze into an area with others.

Keisuke Ao followed suit, lying on the surfboard and slowly paddling outwards at first. Once he figured out the trick, he sped up.

Next comes finding the right wave, the right posture and movements while surfing... Relatively speaking, surfing is definitely a more difficult sport because the sea is ever-changing and can never be tamed. So, to master this sport, you need a high level of coordination, physical strength and skill.

Without spiritual assistance, even Keisuke Ao could only go with the flow.

Of course, that's part of the fun of surfing.

You can always look forward to the next wave.

Soon, the handsome young man, with wet hair and bangs swept back behind his forehead, rode the wave, conquering the highest wave in just over ten minutes.

He swam in the high waves, his body soaring through the air with the surfboard, reaching out to touch the water on the other side amidst the swirling waves.

The surging water flowed across my fingers, creating a long string of bubbles.

In the turbulent water, there was a group of small, silvery fish caught in the current, frantically fighting against the rapids.

Keisuke Ao laughed heartily; this unique charm of controlling nature was equally captivating!

On the shore, people applauded his superb skills—the highest waves were being watched by both surfing enthusiasts and lifeguards.

"sharp!"

"Will we encounter waves like this today?"

"Don't even think about it, you'll definitely be swept away in less than three seconds!"

"I'm going for it!"

There were blond, blue-eyed foreigners gathered together, holding surfboards, looking eager to try it out.

"Isn't that guy kind of handsome?!"

Everyone turned to look at the middle-aged woman at the end, their expressions shifting—aren't you acting a little strange?

Asuka Arisugawa tried hard to find the right angle for taking photos, but for the first time, she regretted that she hadn't mastered the photography skills and couldn't capture the desired effect.

It's a real shame I didn't bring my DSLR camera from home... but if I had, my mom would definitely have taken it away later.

A moment later, Keisuke Ao returned from the sea, tossing his hair.

After politely declining the foreigners' invitation to a party that evening, Aoki Keisuke walked back to his own camp area with a smug smile.

"How's my surfing skill, Arisugawa-kun?"

"That's amazing!"

Arisugawa Asuka handed him a towel.

Aokiji took it, casually placed it on his hair, and asked her, "Do you want to try it together? This board is big enough for two people to stand on."

"Huh—?"

Asuka Arisugawa faced an unexpected choice again, and her composed expression turned adorably bewildered: "Is it okay?"

—She's a complete surfing newbie.

Otherwise, one would definitely be able to see how much Keisuke Ao has changed from beginning to end.

"No problem, just put on the ankle straps that connect to the surfboard, and even if you fall into the water, I'll be able to find you immediately."

Before anyone could answer, Arisugawa put down his phone on his own—who could watch Keisuke Ao's dashing demeanor without their heart racing?

Normally, I would definitely refuse politely!

Asuka Arisugawa muttered these words to herself.

"bring it on!"

Aoki Keisuke nudged her shoulder.

"Warm up before you go into the water."

Asuka Arisugawa's face was flushed. She pulled off her shawl and scarf, and her warm-up movements became stiff and clumsy, as if she was about to exude steam.
