Why is the Demon King like this?

Chapter 79, second poem

Afterwards, they returned to the campsite under the parasol to rest. The girl, who was both physically and mentally exhausted, finally lay down on the deck chair.

Keisuke Ao went to a shop outside the beach and bought cold drinks and ice cream cones.

Barbecue and similar dishes can only be eaten at restaurants.

At noon, the sun gradually became hot, but compared to Tokyo, the temperature in Onjuku was only around 27°C, which was perfectly acceptable.

The sea breeze still gives a cool feeling.

After Arisugawa had rested, he excitedly dragged Keisuke Ao to the center of the beach to take a photo with the colorful sign that read "onjuku".

There's also the iconic Moon Desert Memorial Statue at Onjuku Beach, featuring two exotic travelers riding camels, dressed in Middle Eastern attire, standing atop a raised sand dune, as if walking in the middle of the desert.

Arisugawa stands between two camels, striking a playful peace sign.

After taking enough photos, the two went to the hostel to change clothes. For lunch, they ate local delicacies and grilled skewers from the coastline of Yujuku.

The taste was so-so, just average.

To say something that would enrage the people of Chiba Prefecture... well, let's just say four words.

"Country Flavor"

He shared this with the class monitor, who glared at him and lectured him on what was wrong.

In the afternoon, we played beach volleyball. Keisuke Ao was mostly attentive in setting the ball, but occasionally he would mischievously force Arisugawa to move around a lot to receive it.

Of course, it's simply because playing ball with beautiful girls brings joy to both mind and body.

As the sun began to set over the sea and the sky was filled with rosy clouds, the two returned to the hotel, took a quick shower, packed their things, checked out, and prepared to return to Tokyo.

On the way home, Arisugawa Asuka fell asleep wearily on the train, her head gently resting on Ao Keisuke's shoulder, the dim sunlight falling on her serene face.

The black, shiny hair shimmered and carried a faint scent of shampoo.

Keisuke lowered his head and, for the first time, took out his phone and quietly took a photo of the two of them together.

"Snap!"

……

The sun is about to set again this day.

Birds fly across the plains and plunge into the sea.

The sea breeze will blow again tonight, filling my entire room.

Summer has arrived.

Mr. Surfboard.

This is a status update posted by Arisugawa before going to sleep.

After that, she put her phone on the desk, the furthest point from the bed, and shrank into the blankets, too afraid to look at it anymore.

……

Aoki Keisuke's dynamics are much simpler in comparison.

"Food from the beach is surprisingly not good."

Instead of photos of the beach, he posted pictures of food taken in a restaurant—leaving people wondering where he had gone.

The first reply to the post was a mocking comment from Rena Kobayashi, to which Keisuke Ao retorted with a wish for her happy tutoring.

After that, he received sporadic replies, some asking where he was going, others recommending delicious food. Aokiji collected the useful information and expressed his gratitude to each person.

Yuto Nakagawa's comment was particularly unique: "The seaside? How lucky! It's only about 2,000 kilometers away from where we wiped out the sea monster!"

Putting aside the fact that Keisuke Ao didn't say which beach they were going to, even if he did know, it wouldn't be his place to rescue them, right?

Moreover, even if the four major islands of Japan were lined up in a long snake shape, it would only be two thousand kilometers long!

"If you go crazy online again, I'll block you."

"Yamete!"

Rubbing his temples, Keisuke Ao read Arisugawa's poem twice more, thought for a moment, and replied, "Remember to close the doors and windows when you turn on the air conditioner, Miss Haikyuu."

Asuka Arisugawa's posts are much more popular than his; his replies are quickly pushed to the back, and even if people see them, basically only those in his class know that it's his Line.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't find the way Ao Keisuke was addressed strangely, since Ao Keisuke had agreed to team up with Arisugawa to participate in the ball-passing competition.

On the contrary, Yuki felt that the nickname was not intimate enough in the morning!

CP shippers: Is this all the sweetness they're talking about, diluted with plain water?

Having completed today's social tasks, Qing Keijie yawned. He had definitely met his exercise target for the day, and his spirituality index had reached the 150 mark.

Given Yuki's nighttime energy, he taught the kitten some basic spiritual theories to keep it up all night.

Only after the kitten has truly awakened its spiritual awareness can it continue to learn more advanced content.

Just as he was getting ready for bed, Miss Hoshino suddenly sent him an email asking about the progress of his investigation.

After thinking for a moment, Qing Guijie called her back.

The phone rang for a full forty seconds. Just when Qing Guijie thought the young lady wasn't going to answer, a cold, questioning voice suddenly came from the other end:

"Are you sick, Keisuke Ao?"

"What's wrong?"

"Do you know what time it is?" Hoshino's voice, transmitted through the electrical signal, clearly reached Keisuke Ao's ears.

"President, you emailed me first, didn't you?"

"I meant for you to contact me via email. Did I not realize you'd become this stupid?"

"Are we really going to keep answering questions with questions like this?"

"..."

I heard a deep breath coming through the receiver.

"So, what did you find out today?"

"Ah... President, I actually called to tell you that I went out with some people today, so I haven't started the investigation yet."

By the way, would you like to see the photos I took today?

"Beep...beep...beep..."
