Araihama Beach is located at 1036 Misaki-cho, Miura City. Due to its remote location, there are not many foreign tourists. Instead, local residents of Kanagawa Prefecture choose to come here for vacation.

July is the time when students have holidays. Many elementary school students, accompanied by their parents, come to the beach to play. They run happily on the white beach, but their footprints on the sand are teased by the blue sea. They are stolen by the waves before they stay for more than five or six seconds.

Fujiwara Yu, who had just arrived at the beach, was a little listless under the scorching sun. He took advantage of his height and walked easily to the sea, letting the part below his calves be soaked in the sea water. The only drawback was that the sea water temperature was a bit high and not cool.

Morofushi Kagemitsu, wearing blue swimming trunks, walked over, holding a piece of iced watermelon in his hand, a must-have summer heat reliever. He stood aside holding the watermelon with a smile and started eating it, which made Fujiwara Yu very confused about where this guy got the watermelon.

"Jingguang, where did you get this watermelon?"

"The little girl over there gave it to me."

Fujiwara Yuu followed the direction that Morobushi Kagemitsu pointed and saw several girls around twelve years old. They were talking and laughing, casting bold glances their way. He narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and whispered to Morobushi:

"You're really popular with children. If you don't want to be a police officer, you could consider working in a nursery school. I'm afraid you'll become everyone's beloved teacher, Morobushi."

"Come to think of it, I heard from classmates in the next classroom that when you and Matsuda went out to buy things, you made a little girl cry because of your sullen faces, right?" Zhu Fushimichi took a bite of watermelon and caught a glimpse of the two people fighting with water guns next door. He took a half step closer to Fujiwara without any expression and asked curiously.

Fujiwara Yuu's mouth twitched when he heard this. Why did he and Matsuda sound like school bullies? Their expressionless faces alone could scare children into tears? He helplessly held his forehead and recalled what happened last week when he went out to buy daily necessities. He explained with his eyes wide open:

"It wasn't me and Matsuda who made her cry, okay? She was playing hide-and-seek with her friends and hid under the steps of the children's park. She ended up hiding under there and couldn't get out. We couldn't find her at first, so her friend did."

"So that's what's going on. That rumor is really outrageous."

"So, in the eyes of those rumor-mongering guys, are Matsuda and I bullies?" Fujiwara Yu sighed helplessly. He really didn't know what those people were thinking when they spoke nonsense without seeing it with their own eyes. They were all police officers, but they didn't have the ability to find out the truth before making a conclusion.

"Jealousy can lead to people rejecting others, and they might even turn the person they envy into their imaginary enemy. Since they can't surpass them, they can only try to belittle them. So, you better be careful. Not everyone in the police academy is a pushover."

"Well, of course I am—eh?!"

Fujiwara Yuu's voice suddenly stopped. He felt a cold liquid on his neck. When he turned his head, he noticed Matsuda Jinpei and Akihara Kenji playing a shooting game with water guns.

He frowned and stretched out his hand to block the water jet that was shooting towards him. His eyes fell on Akihara Kenji who was half-crouching in front of him, and he said helplessly:

"Can't you two go somewhere more spacious? I don't want to get my coat wet."

"You're here at the beach and you're dressed so conservatively, hey! Take that, Fuji!"

With a wicked smile, Matsuda Jinpei filled the water gun with sea water and started shooting directly at Fujiwara, with the intention of getting his clothes wet. He really looked like a bully.

Fujiwara Yu was too lazy to struggle, so he just stood there and gave the two men a chance to attack. He put one hand on his waist and lifted the strands of hair on his forehead. His eyes fell on Fūya Rei and Yin Dahang who were swimming in the distance. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: These two people are really energetic. They are still drunk and crazy in the early morning.

Zhu Fujingguang quietly withdrew from the battle just like last night. After Dan Ding finished eating the watermelon in his hand, he ran to the store at the beach to buy two snorkeling masks, and threw one of them directly to Fujiwara Yu, who was soaked all over and had to take off his shirt and short-sleeved shirt.

"Ayou, how about we go snorkeling over there?"

"Hmm? Okay."

After placing his soaked clothes on a nearby recliner, Fujiwara Yuu planned to follow Morifushi. However, before he could take a few steps, a fashionable girl with long curly hair suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Handsome guy, I was calling you just now, didn't you hear me?"

Fujiwara Yuu paused to fiddle with his snorkeling mask, then looked up at the girl before him. After confirming he didn't know her, he patiently asked, "Who are you?"

"You've got the wrong person, I don't know you."

"Ohara Kumi, that's my name." Ohara Kumi smiled and brushed the hair by her ear. She smiled sweetly and shook the bottle of sunscreen in her hand. "We didn't know each other before, but now we do, don't we? I'd like you to put some sunscreen on me, handsome boy. Would you be willing?"

"No."

Without any hesitation, Fujiwara Yu turned around and walked towards the beach, completely ignoring the fact that Ohara Kumi was stomping her feet in anger and even shouting something. He could vaguely hear something about the hospital and his daughter, but these were all useless information to him.

Zhu Fujingguang took in the whole scene and couldn't help but teasing:

"Ayou, you are quite popular too, eh?"

"Please spare me, that girl must have a fiancé. Besides, who would ask someone of the opposite sex to help apply sunscreen on their first meeting? That's too weird."
