The sunlight bathed the golden beach, and gentle waves lapped at the shore.

Under the shade of an umbrella, Rei Ao lay back with sunglasses on, watching the beautiful scenery with his multicolored eyes.

The women he brought with him were playing by the sea.

"So, these are the 'new family members' you mentioned?"

Yukinoshita Yukino stood beside him, arms crossed. Her black swimsuit subtly outlined her elegant figure.

Her tone carried a hint of helplessness, but her gaze remained calm.

Rei Ao smiled and casually wrapped an arm around her waist.

"What, are you jealous?"

"Hmph."

She snorted but didn't push his arm away.

"I just didn't expect you to bring two new girlfriends all at once."

Not far away, Shirahi and her sister Mahiru were building sandcastles.

The two sisters from the Amagami Family and their mom—Chiharu, Yae, and Yuna—were splashing in the shallows.

"Rei Ao-kun, really…"

Megumi Kato appeared quietly nearby. Her white bikini gave her an innocent and gentle charm.

"But everyone's getting along well."

Rei Ao nodded with satisfaction at the harmonious scene.

Tohru was showing the Amagami sisters how to grill seafood using dragonfire.

Haruno was playing beach volleyball.

Yotsuya Miko and Mai Sakurajima were helping Asahi apply sunscreen.

Everyone had naturally welcomed the new members.

"Master!!!"

A bright and energetic voice suddenly called out.

Rei Ao turned to see Satania, her bright red twintails shining in the sun, running toward him in a blue school swimsuit.

"Slow down, Satania."

He caught her just before she stumbled.

Soft, warm, and slightly clumsy as always.

"What's going on?"

Satania grabbed his hand, eyes sparkling with determination.

"Master, I need you to be the judge! I'm challenging Gabriel to a final showdown!"

"Again…"

Yukino facepalmed.

These two rivals never seemed to tire.

"What's the competition this time?"

Rei Ao asked with interest.

"A watermelon eating contest!"

Satania puffed out her chest, full of confidence.

"I've already prepared the area at the villa—no one will disturb us!"

Rei Ao's eyes twinkled with amusement. "Sounds fun. I'd be happy to be the referee."

…

Inside the villa, the cool living room offered a sharp contrast to the heat outside.

Gabriel was lazily sprawled on the sofa, her golden hair fanned out behind her. A white bikini hugged her petite frame.

"So, that idiot Satania came up with another silly contest?" she yawned.

"This time I'll win for sure!"

Satania declared, pushing two large watermelons onto the table.

"First to finish wins!"

Rei Ao sat on the central sofa and patted his legs.

"As the judge, I need to observe up close. Come, sit here."

Before either of them could react, he pulled them gently onto his lap—one on each side.

Gabriel and Satania both yelped in surprise, their cheeks turning red.

"W-What are you doing?!"

Gabriel blushed furiously and tried to stand up, but Rei Ao calmly held her in place. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ⓝovelFire.net

"Relax. I need to make sure no one cheats."

"Are you ready?"

"Ugh…"

Gabriel was flustered but didn't move away.

Satania quickly adapted and focused on the goal.

She grabbed her watermelon eagerly.

"Master, I'm ready!"

"Alright then… Begin!"

The contest was on!

Satania dove in, munching watermelon as juice dribbled down her chin.

Gabriel took a slower, more graceful approach, glancing at Rei Ao occasionally.

Moments passed.

"I'm done!"

Satania triumphantly held up her empty watermelon rind, confident in her win.

Especially since Gabriel's watermelon looked untouched.

"Master! I beat Gabriel!"

But when she looked up…

She saw Rei Ao gently kissing Gabriel.

"Wha—what are you doing?!"

Satania blinked in shock.

Rei Ao smiled and turned to her.

"A little 'penalty' for the loser. Unless… Satania wants to try too?"

Before she could answer, he pulled her in as well.

"Ehh?!"

Satania's eyes widened as she was caught in his embrace.

Gabriel, cheeks still flushed, glared at him.

"Dummy! Don't let that airhead off so easily…"

Rei Ao chuckled and pulled them both closer.

The tone of the "contest" quickly changed.

…

"Gab? Satania? Are you inside?"

Vignette's voice came from outside the room, followed by knocking.

Raphiel's voice joined in: "We brought iced drinks~"

Gabriel's eyes lit up mischievously.

She raised her voice and shouted: "Rei Ao, get them too!"

The door opened.

Vignette and Raphiel froze in the doorway, stunned. Their drinks dropped to the floor.

"…Oh my."

Raphiel was the first to recover, a teasing blush rising to her cheeks.

"Looks like we walked in at a very awkward moment~"

"W-Wait! This is wrong!"

Vignette panicked, trying to turn and flee—but Rei Ao casually froze her in place with a gesture.

"Well, since you're here…"

Rei Ao grinned playfully.

"…Why not join the competition?"

…

For the next few hours, the villa hosted a wild "match" between two angels and two demons.

The line between heaven and hell blurred—only the competitive spirit remained.

They were determined to settle it once and for all… on behalf of angels and demons alike.
