Thump.
Yamada Elf, executing a cute tiger pounce, tackled Izumi Sora directly onto the sand.
Fortunately, it was entirely soft sand underneath, so it didn't hurt at all.
"Actually looking down on your master, I'm going to bite Servant until you cry..."
Their eyes met.
The air suddenly fell quiet.
The only sounds by their ears were the waves gently lapping against the reefs and the quiet acceleration of their two heartbeats.
"Did Servant's heartbeat speed up?"
Yamada Elf moved her right hand down, pressing it against Izumi Sora's chest, a look of smug satisfaction appearing on her face.
Izumi Sora remained expressionless: "When a person is suddenly tackled, their heart rate naturally speeds up."
"Hmph, I don't believe you."
"That's just the fact."
"Idiot Servant, I'm really going to bite you."
Yamada Elf was true to her word, suddenly lowering her head to bite him.
It was just that the place she bit was a bit off.
Their lips touched.
A gentle nibbling sensation came from his lips.
Izumi Sora: "..."
Didn't you say you were going to bite me?
Are you punishing someone, or rewarding them!
Three minutes later.
Elf, whose lung capacity was super low, quickly ran out of energy. She could only end the "biting" and lay panting heavily on Izumi Sora's body.
"Hah... haah..."
The blonde loli panted while looking over smugly:
"Idiot Servant's heartbeat is getting faster and faster. Are you still going to stubbornly claim it has to do with being tackled?"
You said you were going to bite me, but it turned into a kiss. Who's the stubborn one!
Izumi Sora took a deep breath, fighting down the urge to bully her. He placed his hands on Elf's astonishingly slender waist:
"Hurry up and get up, put your swimsuit on properly."
Yamada Elf's voice was cute and naive: "I won't put it on, I have no energy left."
Izumi Sora reminded her:
"This is the beach, someone might come by at any time. It'll be trouble if we're seen."
"Servant, help me put it on~"
Yamada Elf's voice lost its usual arrogance, becoming melodic and sweet. She was clearly acting spoiled.
"...Do your own things yourself, alright."
Izumi Sora complained while reaching both hands around Elf's back. Finding the position of the strings, he quickly helped tie the swimsuit.
"It's tied." Izumi Sora gave her a light pat. "Hurry up and get up."
"Hmph."
Yamada Elf sat up, her small face flushing slightly, and proudly lifted her chin:
"A mere Servant, as expected, you only listen after a severe punishment."
You call it a punishment, but what you gave was clearly a reward, alright!
"The sunscreen is already applied." Izumi Sora also got up, brushing the sand off his body. "We can go surfing now."
"Not enough." Yamada Elf tilted up her small face to look at him. With expectant eyes, she acted spoiled, "Servant only helped apply it to my back. You have to help apply sunscreen to the other places too~"
"Apply it yourself."
"No, all my energy was stolen by Servant."
Damn it! You're the one who started biting people without a word, who stole your energy!
Seeing Elf shamelessly refusing to get up, Izumi Sora was very helpless. He could only take the sunscreen and continue helping Elf apply it to her body.
Arms, legs... with single-minded focus, the sunscreen application was quickly finished.
"Thank you, Servant."
After resting for a bit, Yamada Elf had regained her energy. She reached out and took the sunscreen, saying enthusiastically:
"I'll help Servant apply sunscreen, otherwise you'll definitely get sunburned."
"I'll apply it myself."
"No, applying sunscreen for the Servant is the master's duty."
Yamada Elf's eyes sparkled. Her small hands haphazardly rubbed across Izumi Sora's back, and soon she moved to his front, openly touching him all over.
Hey, hey, didn't you say you were applying sunscreen?
Stop letting your hands wander all over the place!
"Ehehe~ So this is what a boy's abdominal muscles feel like..."
Yamada Elf laughed smugly, not knowing the meaning of shyness at all.
Izumi Sora helplessly pressed his fingers against his brow: "I'm calling for help."
"Hehehe." Yamada Elf proudly lifted her small chin. "There's no one else on the beach at all. Even if Servant screams his lungs out, no one will come to save you."
"..."
Meanwhile.
On the seawall.
Splash.
Yanami forcefully reeled in her fishing rod, catching another horse mackerel. Then she shielded her forehead with her right hand, looking towards the beach:
"I thought they were going surfing, why are Sora and Elf nowhere to be seen?"
Shiina Mahiru said softly:
"They're probably changing clothes."
Yanami muttered quietly, a bit worried:
"Changing clothes shouldn't take that long, right?"
The reefs by the beach completely blocked the three girls' line of sight. They had no idea what Izumi Sora and Elf were doing.
"It's been over ten minutes, and Sora and Elf haven't come out. Maybe they encountered an accident." Yanami was restless, feeling like there was a hint of green on her head (getting cuckolded). She couldn't help but stand up and say, "How about we go over and check?"
Just as she finished speaking, Kuroneko's voice suddenly rang out:
"No need to go over, Sora and Elf have come out."
"Eh?"
Yanami hurriedly looked into the distance and indeed saw Izumi Sora and Elf walking out from behind the reefs holding surfboards, heading towards the ocean together.
"I really want to go surfing too..."
Yanami's eyes were full of envy:
"Ahhhh, if only I had known, I would have brought my swimsuit."
Fishing was novel at first, but sitting for a long time was very boring. Yanami really wanted to go over and play together now, but unfortunately, without a swimsuit, she could only watch from afar with envious eyes.
On the other side.
Izumi Sora and Elf, carrying their surfboards, had already entered the ocean.
The seawater was cool, quickly washing away the heat from their bodies, feeling quite comfortable.
"Idiot Servant, surfing is not that simple. Even a genius like this lady spent a full two hours learning the basic surfing skills back then."
Yamada Elf's voice was cute and charming, her expression smug:
"The instructor who taught me surfing back then even called me a genius beautiful girl."
Hearing this, Izumi Sora glanced over. Seeing Elf with her chin raised, her face practically screaming 'hurry up and beg me', he didn't continue to bully her, but asked sincerely:
"Elf-sama, I want to learn to surf."
Renting a surfboard wasn't cheap. Since he rented it, of course he had to learn how to surf, otherwise it would feel like a huge waste.
"Since Servant has begged me so sincerely, I will show mercy and teach you." Yamada Elf instantly became smug, her little tail practically sticking up into the sky. "First, we paddle out into the ocean, then lie on the surfboard. When a wave comes, let the surfboard ride the push forward."
"Don't rush it during this time. Find your balance first, and then slowly stand up."
"Once Servant can stand up, then carefully use the strength in your feet and waist muscles to control the surfboard."
"It's just like riding a bicycle. Once you grasp that feeling, you can basically graduate... Servant, watch me carefully. This lady will demonstrate it for you first."
"..."
Having finished her smug explanation, Yamada Elf lay down on her surfboard and began demonstrating.
As a wave rolled in, Elf quickly stood up, riding the surfboard along the wave. She did look quite skilled.
Izumi Sora watched earnestly, quickly memorizing the process.
"Let me give it a try."
Izumi Sora followed her example, lying face down on his surfboard.
The first wave rolled in from behind. Using its momentum, Izumi Sora shakily stood up on the surfboard.
By the second wave, he was able to steady his body.
When the third wave came surging in, Izumi Sora was already standing on the surfboard, speeding along the crest of the wave.
"Y-You're kidding, right?"
Yamada Elf widened her eyes, clearly starting to doubt her life.
"It took this lady two hours to barely be able to surf... Servant actually learned it in ten minutes? Have you secretly learned to surf before?"
Izumi Sora, riding the surfboard, drifted past Elf. His movements were exceptionally smooth and natural, not at all like a beginner rookie:
"I haven't learned it before."
Yamada Elf didn't believe him:
"Then how could you learn to surf in the blink of an eye?"
Izumi Sora stated with full justification:
"Is there a possibility... that I am actually a surfing genius?"
With the continuous upgrading of his character level, his physical fitness had now reached the human limit. His balance, coordination, etc., were all top-tier, so mastering surfing was naturally a piece of cake.
They played for half an hour in a flash. Elf quickly started complaining her legs were sore and tired. Izumi Sora didn't feel anything, but it was already noon, truly time for a lunch break. So they finished surfing and returned to the beach together.
The two put on their clothes and, carrying their surfboards, headed towards the seawall to reunite with Yanami, Mahiru, and Kuroneko.
