Title: The Double Surfing Candidates

“Okay, thank you.”

Taking the double surfboard from her hand, Ren expressed his gratitude.

“Satania, how dare you call this a gift?” Gabriel couldn’t help but complain, “You just didn’t want to run all the way back to return it.”

Satania placed her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and said proudly, “Are you kidding! For humans, even something vulgar used casually by this demon lord is seen as a treasured item in their eyes.”

“You have no shame saying that.” Gabriel’s tone was helpless.

“Is there anything I can’t say? Everything I say is true!”

The more Satania spoke, the more confident she became, as if the facts were exactly as she stated.

Gabriel didn’t continue the conversation with her but turned to look at the surfboard in Ren’s hands. “Kamikawa, are you really interested in this surfboard?”

“Yes, because it’s a double surfboard and different from the one I used before. I want to try it.” Ren expressed his genuine thoughts.

“Well then, I’ll reluctantly give it a try with you!”

Gabriel tried her best to appear indifferent and to make her voice sound as casual as possible.

“Sure.”

Ren happily agreed, but then Raphiel’s voice chimed in.

“But Gab, haven’t you just learned to surf? Are you sure you can manage double surfing with Kamikawa?”

“Surfing shouldn’t be that difficult. Kamikawa learned it very quickly, so there’s no reason I can’t learn it too.” Gabriel was still a bit confident.

Raphiel pointed toward Vigne, who was pulling Satania aside for some education: “Are you sure? Vigne and Satania’s lesson is right in front of you.”

“This... so what should I do?”

Thinking about the miserable situation they had just experienced, Gabriel hesitated.

“My suggestion is to give up and let someone else surf with Kamikawa.” Raphiel gave her advice.

“So that’s what you were getting at!” Gabriel seemed to understand something. “I know you haven’t learned to surf yet, so don’t even think about surfing with him.”

“When did I say I wanted to surf with him?” Raphiel said helplessly.

“What do you mean?”

Gabriel was completely confused by her words.

“Of course, whoever knows how to surf should go with Kamikawa.” Raphiel said bluntly. “If you don’t even know the basics of surfing, it’s impossible to do double surfing.”

“That’s true, but I don’t know why, I just feel very unhappy.” Gabriel crossed her arms and looked a little dissatisfied.

Raphiel smiled and said, “There’s no other choice. I don’t want to see Gab and Kamikawa repeat the tragedy that just happened. Once is enough; we don’t need to see it again.”

“Are your thoughts really that simple?” Gabriel asked doubtfully.

“Also, I don’t want to see Kamikawa fall because of you.”

Gabriel squinted her eyes: “Should I take your words to mean that you care about Kamikawa?”

“Of course, I’m worried Kamikawa might get hurt.”

Raphiel showed an anxious expression, as if she had foreseen a very bad future.

“Disgusting. Please don’t speak in that tone and with that expression. It really goes against your personality.” Gabriel stepped back two paces and distanced herself from her.

“Anyway, let’s check who knows how to surf first.”

Raphiel easily controlled the situation and changed the topic.

“In short, the three of us definitely won’t do it.”

Asumi came over and stood with Gabriel and Raphiel.

“Satania doesn’t know how either. Even if she did, it’s impossible to choose her.” Gabriel took over, “She would just cause trouble for others.”

“Vigne can do it, but let’s not make her suffer.” Raphiel added.

The events just now were still fresh in her mind, and as long as one wasn’t a ruthless villain, no one would ask Vigne to experience double surfing again.

Asumi turned to them: “Rizu, Miku, Itsuki, have you learned how to surf?”

“I just started learning.” Rizu answered first.

Itsuki said awkwardly, “I’ve learned a bit, but not completely. Surfing is too difficult.”

“Like Itsuki, I haven’t learned much either.” Miku said softly.

Raphiel asked with a smile, “Fumino? Didn’t you just ask Kamikawa to teach you?”

“Halfway through the lesson, I ran over and saw Vigne and Satania fall.” Fumino said shyly.

“In that case, only Yotsuba knows how to surf.”

As she said this, Raphiel looked at Yotsuba.

When she finished speaking, everyone’s eyes also focused on Yotsuba.

“Eh? Me?”

Realizing she had suddenly become the center of attention, Yotsuba’s eyes were filled with confusion.

“Who else? Among everyone here, you’re the only one who knows how to surf.” The smile on Raphiel’s face remained unchanged. “Or are you unwilling to surf with Kamikawa?”

“Of course, I am.”

Yotsuba answered subconsciously.

“That’s fine.”

Raphiel approached and pulled Yotsuba to Ren. “Alright, after our discussion, we decided to let Yotsuba surf with you. Do you have any objections?”

“No objections.”

Ren’s attitude did not change from before, nor did his mood alter due to the sudden change of candidates.

“Wait a minute, are you saying Yotsuba and Kamikawa should surf together?”

Gabriel suddenly interrupted.

“Yes, Gab, do you have any questions?” Raphiel looked at her with a smile.

“No, it’s fine. Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Her eyes shifted between Yotsuba and Ren for a moment. In the end, Gabriel didn’t say anything meaningful and quietly stepped aside.

“Then let’s look forward to Yotsuba and Kamikawa’s double surfing performance.”

Like a host, Raphiel reported very seriously.

“Don’t say it in such a formal tone!”

Yotsuba became nervous.

“Good luck.”

Raphiel patted Yotsuba’s shoulder and winked at her.

“Yes, I will.”

Yotsuba was stunned for a moment and responded without knowing why.
