Beach (7)

While the boys were stuck cleaning the beach, the girls were inside the villa changing.

From the door, one could hear the sounds of playful teasing as they changed.

But when they came out, there was a dark look on Maria's face.

With this dark look on her face, she turned to look past Seul Ah until she was looking right at Anne Marie. The more that she looked at Anne Marie, the darker the look on her face.

Maria had a figure that could be considered slender, but she still had curves in the right place.

When compared to Seul Ah who was considered curvy, but only slightly so, she didn't feel that bad.

But now…there were biological weapons of mass destruction in front of her…it really was hard for her to keep her cool.

Anne Marie normally wore clothes that were quite baggy both when she was working and in her free time because she liked the feeling of those loose clothing. With that loose clothing, she had been able to hide her figure quite well.

But now that she was in her swimsuit, it was impossible to hide it anymore.

Instead, it was put on full display and displayed its full destructive might against Maria.

It was the biggest that Maria had ever seen and as she walked, she could see the jiggles of those weapons of mass destruction. It was as if just a single jiggle was enough to wipe out an entire town.

There was a strong urge inside of Maria to grab and rip, but she suppressed that urge since it was her friend.

Anne Marie could feel the cold glare coming from behind her that made her tremble, which just jiggled those weapons even more. But she had to pretend that she didn't feel or see anything since she knew that it would just make things worse.

After they finished changing, the three of them headed down to the beach that looked completely different from before.

All of the debris was gone and the only thing left was the sea life that had been swept onto the sea.

It even seemed like someone had deliberately done all that they could not to touch the seafood.

The three boys had also changed during the time that the girls had taken to change.

The three of them were currently resting on lounge chairs that they had brought down.

If people knew that these S Rankers had used their powers to clean up a beach, they would be completely shocked.

These were S Rankers that had power beyond all other hunters and here they were using that power to clean up debris on the beach.

A waste of their powers!

That would be everyone's first reaction to this.

But then again, these powers belonged to them, so they were free to use them however they wanted.

When they heard the sounds, the three boys turned around to look at the three girls.

Their eyes lit up at first when they saw Maria in her swimsuit, but when they saw Anne Marie who was at the back of the group, their eyes couldn't help almost popping out and their chins almost dropped to the ground.

When Maria saw the three of them acting like this, she immediately cast her dark gaze on them.

The three boys immediately felt like they had been thrown into a freezer and revealed awkward looks as they quickly looked away, but they still peeked back out of the corner of their eyes.

They might be S Rankers, but they were also males in the end.

When these weapons of mass destruction were placed in front of them, they couldn't resist the urge to look.

Anne Marie really was on a completely different level with this kind of figure.

She was a short blonde girl that was beautiful in the first place, but with this figure that didn't match the face…it really created a sort of gap moe that men couldn't resist.

But of course, all three of them had stronger wills than others and they had a girl that they were faithful for.

So just one look was enough.

Just one look wouldn't hurt anyone…

Well, it was wrong to say that it wouldn't hurt anyone. It was more likely that they would be the ones getting hurt by Maria for trying to sneak more looks.

So they quickly turned away after that one quick peek.

Maria was clearly unhappy with the way that the three of them acted, but her attention was quickly drawn away by the beach. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at the bounty of the sea that laid in front of her.

She was already drooling at the thought of the delicious meal that she would have tonight.

So without hesitation, she grabbed the bucket and shovel that had been prepared by the boys on the side and said, "I'm going harvesting!"

Then without waiting for a response from them, she immediately ran off onto the beach to start collecting ingredients.

Seeing this, all of them couldn't help shaking their heads with bitter smiles, but they didn't rush off to follow her.

After all, this was a vacation, so it wasn't as if they could just follow her around. It was fine for them to watch over her, but if they watched her too much, they would make Maria self conscious.

She would be worried that she was making the trip not enjoyable for them and that was the last thing that any one of them wanted to do.

Of course, they also couldn't all join her in gathering ingredients or it would be too crowded.

In times like this, there was only one thing to do.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

In the end, it was Guang Liang and Seul Ah who won the right to harvest ingredients with Maria.

With triumphant smiles, they took their buckets and shovels and headed off to join Maria.

As for the other three, they all had bitter smiles on their faces.

But the only thing that they could do was blame the goddess of luck for not being on their side.

Once Guang Liang and Seul Ah were gone, Alexander headed back to his lounge chair.

He had come on this vacation to have some fun and get closer to Maria, but if there wasn't a chance for him to do that, he would prefer to relax in the lounge chair. He was quite a busy person even if he didn't seem like it with the way that he acted and how he was always at Maria's store.

So a chance to relax like this was actually quite rare for him. All he wanted to do now was sit back and relax without caring about a thing.

As for Anne Marie and Alexei, they decided to go swimming in the end.

For Anne Marie, it had been a long time since she had gone swimming.

She used to be in the swim club back when she was in school, when her figure hadn't been as developed. She had stopped going because as her figure grew, it became harder for her to keep up with the competitive times of the other girls.

So she had no choice but to give up on competitive swimming in the end.

But that didn't mean that she didn't still like swimming.

It was just that she was too busy with her work as a saintess and couldn't find the free time to go swimming like this.

Now that she had been given the opportunity, naturally she would take advantage of this.

Alexei, contrary to his appearance, was someone that also loved to swim.

It was one of the few activities that he enjoyed doing in his free time, but he also had a reason why he didn't get to go swimming.

Back when he was still a child and his ice powers weren't as developed yet, his mother had taken him swimming often. It was the one thing that she had enjoyed and she wanted to share it with him.

So even when he became an adult, it was still something that he enjoyed doing.

As his ice power developed, he wasn't able to swim in normal pools anymore since he would freeze them all. Since he couldn't use normal pools, there were fewer places for him to swim in and he rarely had the chance to swim.

Only when he was in the ocean like this would he be able to swim since his powers weren't strong enough to freeze the entire ocean…just yet.

One day it might happen, but that day hasn't come yet.

When Anne Marie saw that it was Alexei who was coming to swim with her, her face couldn't help turning a bit red. But in the end, she mustered up her courage and asked, "Do you want to swim together?"

Alexei looked at him and after a moment, he…shook his head.

He then said, "I'll be swimming out a bit far, so you can just swim here in the shallows."

Then without waiting for a response from her, he dived into the water.

Anne Marie had a disappointed look on her face, but she didn't give up as she quickly followed behind him.

But…the way that she swam really made it hard for her to keep up.

After all, with each swing of her arm, her chest would bounce up and down in the water, making it hard for her to swim fast.

Alexei couldn't help taking a look back at her and when he did, he almost choked on the water in front of him.

This was the reason why he hadn't wanted to swim with her, he had already expected this to happen. But seeing it in real time really was a sight to behold and even someone as cold as him couldn't help doing a spit take.

On the beach, Maria had been secretly watching since she was interested in the love story between the two of them.

It was just too bad for her that she also saw Anne Marie's weapons of mass destruction at work.

She looked down at her own chest before saying with a dark look on her face, "I hope those floaties burst and she sinks."

To the side, Guang Liang and Seul Ah were surprised to hear Maria suddenly saying something, but they didn't hear exactly what she said, so Seul Ah asked, "Maria, what was that?"

Maria realized her mistake and quickly shook her head before saying, "Nothing at all."

Guang Liang and Seul Ah felt that her answer was a bit strange, but they decided not to keep pushing.
