Sunshine, sand, waves... Akane Resort, the kingdom's most popular tourist destination, a charming beach that gets you hooked after just one visit.
Erza, who rarely shed her armor, changed into a sexy swimsuit with Lucy.
Their alluring figures attracted the gaze of almost everyone present, yet no one dared to approach them.
Simply because—
"Haiya—take this!"
Erza leaped high, her crimson hair fluttering, as a volleyball was instantly deford by her slap.
Bang—!!!
The volleyball, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom, slamd towards the opposite side like a cannonball.
"Bring it on!"
Natsu and Gray shouted simultaneously, rushing towards the landing spot in perfect sync, only for their heads to collide violently.
"Get out of the way! That's my ball!"
"You're the one who should get out of the way!"
As the two clashed, Natsu, relying on his beast-like instincts and abnormal physical prowess, kicked the ball away just before falling.
"Good opportunity!"
Gray stepped on Natsu's back and leaped high.
With a powerful spike, the volleyball, trailing a fiery tail, flew straight towards... Lucy on the other side.
"Eek—!!!"
Lucy, seeing the volleyball flying straight at her, imdiately rembered the pillow fight that night and was scared out of her wits, clutching her head and dodging left and right like a startled rabbit, not daring to receive the ball at all.
She could only leave it to Erza to handle alone.
Suddenly, the original 2 VS 2 match turned into a 1 VS 2.
"Seriously, are these two trying to kill soone? If that force hits my face, it'll definitely be disfigured, right?! It definitely will be!!"
Lucy, frantically dodging the ball, glanced sideways, full of resentnt.
"It's all Ron's fault, relaxing over there while I take the brunt of it."
Under the beach umbrella.
Ron, wearing sunglasses, comfortably nestled in a beach chair, with a chilled fruit juice adorned with a small umbrella beside him.
The sea breeze caressed his face, and ti passed peacefully.
"This is the life..."
Thinking of the continuous events since Lullaby, Ron sighed like a couch potato.
"Aye!!!"
Happy, dressed identically beside him, echoed Ron's sentint.
"Gray! Stop showing off! Block the net!"
"Less talk! I'm adjusting my stance!"
"Too naive! This level of defense can't stop !!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dust flew on the beach as three fierce beasts engaged in a hardcore confrontation, with Lucy... struggling to survive in the cracks.
Ron watched this scene, shaking his head with a smile.
"Playing volleyball is not as comfortable as this. How blue is this sea, how beautiful is this scenery."
"How white... are these waves!"
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ron's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a blue figure squirming strangely behind a coconut tree not far away.
He raised an eyebrow and quietly walked over.
Behind the tree.
Juvia, also wearing a figure-hugging blue swimsuit, was hugging the tree trunk, her gaze piercing through the crowd, precisely locked on Gray, with a natural beauty filter under the sun.
"Ah... Gray-sama's sweat..."
"Is that the volatilization of hormones?"
Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were misty.
"Um, Juvia."
A voice softly echoed in her ear.
"Ah—!!!"
Juvia trembled in fright, turning around abruptly, only to see Ron with his arms crossed, looking at her with a teasing expression.
"Mr. Ro... Ron?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you really like this 'observing from the shadows' style, don't you?"
Ron stroked his chin, teasing the startled Rain Woman.
"N-no!!"
Juvia's face was so red it looked like it was about to drip blood, and she waved her hands wildly.
"Juvia just... just thought Gray-sama and the others were playing, and she didn't want to disturb them..."
Her voice slowly trailed off, her fingers nervously intertwined.
"You think too much, you know."
Seeing her cautious deanor, Ron sighed helplessly.
"What's there to disturb? Co on, let's go together."
Ron directly ignored Juvia's hesitation and led her over.
"Um, let's pause for a mont!"
Ron's voice interrupted the fierce battle on the court.
Natsu, who was about to score with a header, stopped his movent, looking displeased:
"What's up, Ron? We're at a critical mont!"
"Exactly, Ron, do you want to play too?" Gray wiped a bead of sweat, his chest heaving violently.
"Sure!"
Ron walked onto the court with a smile, casually pushing the shy Juvia forward.
"Eh, Juvia, you're here too?!"
"M-mm, Gray-sama..."
"How about three-on-three? Juvia is with your team." Ron said to Gray, "I'll join Erza's team."
"No problem." Gray nodded. "Let's start then, Juvia, co over here!"
Hearing Gray's voice, Juvia instantly entered "love-struck explosion" mode, her previous shyness completely gone, replaced by fighting spirit for love.
'Team up with Gray-sama?! This is fate's arrangent!'
'Is this a married couple's... no, a lover's mixed doubles?! Juvia must help Gray-sama achieve victory.'
She clenched her fists fiercely, her aura soaring:
"Yes! Juvia will shatter her bones... for Gray-sama!!!"
Lucy shivered, listening to the terrifying declaration from the other side.
"Hey... it's just a ga of volleyball, you don't need to shatter your bones, right?"
"Alright! Let's begin!"
Erza patted Lucy beside her, almost knocking her into the sand.
"Ron, Lucy, we're going in! We absolutely cannot lose to Gray and them!"
Lucy was on the verge of tears: Actually, you don't have to count in... The match started again.
With Juvia's addition, the situation instantly beca delicate.
"Watch the ball!"
Erza leaped high, delivering a powerful serve.
"I got it!"
Natsu was about to rush forward.
Juvia, as if teleporting, directly bumped Natsu away with her body, then perford a standard diving save, perfectly setting the ball.
"Gray-sama! Please spike! This is Juvia's pass of love!"
Natsu, who was bumped away, got a mouthful of sand: "Hey, you bumped !!"
Although Gray was a bit confused, his body's instincts still made him leap high.
Bang!
Ron's eyes slightly narrowed, instantly catching the ball's trajectory and hitting it back.
For a ti, both sides played evenly, back and forth.
It was just a bit pitiful for Lucy and Natsu; one kept doing squats, and the other kept getting bumped away.
"I got it!" Gray shouted, looking at the incoming spiked ball.
"No, Gray-sama! You'll get hurt!"
Juvia directly pounced on Gray, preparing to use her body as a human shield for him.
With a "bang!", the ball hit... Gray's butt, who was tackled by Juvia, and then bounced away.
"..."
The entire court fell silent.
"Ahhh! I'm so sorry, Gray-sama! Juvia didn't an to! Juvia just wanted to protect you!"
Watching Juvia, flustered and straddling Gray, and Gray, crushed beneath her and utterly devoid of hope.
Ron's lips curled into a wild grin.
"Is this what they call... painful pleasure?"
